DUKE 80, SYRACUSE 72

SU Rising event sheds light on sexual assault

By Lydia Wilson asst. news editor

The Syracuse University community presented a new, unified front to battle sexual and relationship violence Friday evening.

SU Rising is an annual candlelight vigil and rally held in Hendricks Chapel to bring awareness to sexual and relationship violence. The event also highlighted SU’s newly centralized, reinforced, realigned sexual assault services.

akeem Christmas picked the worst possible night for his most inefficient performance of the season.

He shot 3-of-10 for eight points in Syracuse’s loss to California on Nov. 20 — but that was just three games in. He scored just seven points against Boston College on Wednesday night, but dished out five assists and SU won by 14.

But on Saturday evening in the Carrier Dome, against Duke and the best center in the country, Christmas’ struggles were amplified. He made just five of his 17 attempts from the floor for a 29.4 percentage — his lowest in a single game this year — and failed to counter Jahlil Okafor’s dominance on the other end.

Syracuse’s go-to scorer for most of the year didn’t take ownership of that role, and it doomed the Orange (16-9, 7-5 Atlantic Coast) in its 80-72 loss to the No. 4 Blue Devils (22-3,

9-3) and potentially put a dent in Christmas’ professional stock.

“They were some easy shots I normally make,” Christmas said. “I just got to get back in the gym and work on them and I’ll be fine.”

By the time Christmas finally got one of his shots to fall on Saturday, five had misfired and he had lost two turnovers.

But through the first half, it seemed Syracuse would be OK without him. By the break, forward Michael Gbinije had hit five 3s and racked up 19 points and guard Trevor Cooney had hit a pair of 3s.

Mike Krzyzewski said. “And then when Gbinije is playing the way he is, it opens up space and you can’t help as much.

“And that’s why Jah’s defense tonight was even better, because we weren’t able to give him much help.”

Duke guard Matt Jones faceguarded Cooney, guard Quinn Cook blanketed Gbinije and the Blue Devils double-teamed Christmas less frequently than any other ACC opponent.

The event featured remarks and performances by organizations including Students Advocating for Sexual Safety and Empowerment, SU Zinda Fusion Dance Team, A Men’s Issue and the SU Counseling Center and the Office of Health Promotion. It concluded with a candlelight vigil and moment of silence.

SU Rising began as a response to One Billion Rising, the biggest mass action to end violence against women in history. Eve Ensler, author of the Vagina Monologues, founded One Billion Rising in 2011 in reaction to the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old New Delhi student.

Freshman turns RC airplane hobby into career

noon hi 6° lo -7°

By Momin Rafi design editor

Ever since he was a child, Sahevaan Taneja had an affinity for remote-controlled airplanes.

Taneja, now a freshman aerospace engineering major, was a regular sight at the local fields in Hyderabad, India where he would fly experimental RC airplane models that he designed.

In mid-2012, a family friend saw Taneja flying his RC airplanes and offered him a job helping the Indian government work on its surveillance drone project.

At first, Taneja worked on simple projects as he proved his merit — a small aircraft that captures live video, for instance. The Indian government’s pre-existing drone program was full of expensive equipment that required lots of training to use, Taneja said.

He helped the Indian government’s Ministry of Defense transition to autonomous, cheap surveillance drones that require minimal training and fly themselves. Taneja helped develop those drones using new airfoil technology, which is currently undergoing the patenting process.

“The airfoil design functions more

Taneja’s engineering skills began as a task from his father — he was challenged to attach a motor to a bicycle to turn it into a motorized bicycle. After

completing the challenge, Taneja turned his skills into a lifelong passion.

“I take almost any opportunity that gives me engineering-related projects,” he said.

Magic Man, Panama Wedding to perform at SU

By Clare Ramirez feature editor

Magic Man, an alternative rock band, will headline Syracuse University’s first Bandersnatch Concert Series show of the spring semester, University Union announced on Twitter Sunday.

Indie artist Panama Wedding will be performing as direct support, according to a University Union press release. The show marks the first time University Union has brought a band to campus since Juice Jam 2014, and the first time a band has performed at Bandersnatch since April 2014.

The show will take place March 4 in Schine Underground at 8 p.m.

Tickets will go on sale at Schine Box Office starting Monday and will cost $5 for Syracuse University and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students. A valid student ID is

required to purchase tickets and to gain entry to the show.

Magic Man is an alternative rock band based in Providence, Rhode Island. The group started in 2010 with two members —Alex Caplow and Sam Vanderhoop Lee — and see bandersnatch page 8

Codes in dining halls provide nutrition information

By Sarah Richheimer staff writer

Syracuse University has added QR codes, or barcodes that can be scanned with a smartphone, to food items in its dining halls to give nutritional information.

In collaboration with the Student Association and SU Food Services, the codes were put in place earlier this semester. The QR codes on each entree label were created to give students a better understand-

ing of what they are putting into their bodies on a daily basis.

I think it’s a really cool idea, especially for kids who want to keep track of what they are eating.”

Cameron Lynn junior sport management major

While all students can benefit

from the new food labels, certain students who are particularly health conscious or have food allergies may find these QR codes especially helpful. Signs in the dining center also have a QR code that shows the menu for the entire day.

To use the QR code, students must download a free QR code reader app on their smartphone, and then scan the code for a particular entree to display the nutritional information. The code then links directly to the nutritional

information that is available on the food services website.

The code allows students to instantly and conveniently access nutritional information from their smartphone without having to navigate through the website, said Keone Weigl, marketing director of food services, and Ruth Sullivan, the registered dietitian for food services, in an email.

Stephanie Haber, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences, created the concept of the QR see qr

Students have established and will participate in a local chapter of the Peace Action New York State organization at Syracuse University starting this semester.

The group’s mission is to educate students on issues currently threatening world peace, which include topics such as military buildups, nuclear arsenals and unjust systems like the prison-industrial complex. This semester will be the first full semester that the Peace Action chapter at SU will be operating.

The SU chapter began to take shape in the fall of 2014, when Peace Action New York State student outreach coordinator Lindsay Monin reached out statewide in an attempt to foster

Google should not buy Twitter

A

t the beginning of this month, Twitter announced a deal with Google to make tweets searchable in Google search results. It’s the first step to solving Twitter’s problem of slowing growth in monthly active users.

With tweets showing up in Google search results, Twitter hopes that non-users will learn about Twitter and sign up.

The partnership is resurfacing some discussion about whether or not Google could dig into its pile of cash and buy Twitter. The buzz is not new. At the end of January, Twitter shares rose on yet another round of rumors that Google was interested in an acquisition.

There’s good reason for the speculation, but Google should be smart enough to know that buying Twitter would be like buying a fancy garden statue. It’s cool to have, but it’s way too expensive and has little function.

It sounds good on paper: Google’s foray into social media failed to uproot Facebook and Twitter. Twitter would immediately give social media strength to Google’s already impressive range of products. Imagine Google+ and Gmail with integrated Twitter functions. Additionally, acquiring Twitter would mean acquiring Twitter’s powerful real-time search feature and content.

Acquisition is also the name of the game in the tech industry. Facebook has made a number of huge acquisitions, from Oculus Rift to WhatsApp. Google has bought a number of companies to broaden its portfolio of technology, from Waze — a map and navigation application — to Boston Dynamics — a robotics company that is best known for its robot dogs. Google also has the

BRIAN CHEUNG

I’M A BUSINESS, MAN

money to pull off a Twitter acquisition. Current estimates put Twitter’s value at about $24 billion, which Google can easily pay for in cash.

But that’s also where the deal falls apart.

It’s hard to justify paying $24 billion for a company that has just shy of 300 million active users. For comparison, WhatsApp was acquired by Facebook for a record breaking $22 billion last year. WhatsApp boasts over 700 million active users.

For the heftier price tag and smaller active user base, it’s hard to argue that Twitter has value in other places that would justify an acquisition.

Although Twitter has real time search functions those services would serve as a supplement — at best — to Google’s trademark search engine.

To prove this point, look no further than the most recent partnership deal. The fact that Twitter is relying on Google to drive traffic to its site rather than using its own homepage and News Feed shows that Twitter needs Google more than Google needs Twitter.

There’s no doubt that Twitter has some interest to Google, but the facts speak for themselves: Twitter is just too expensive.

Policy must consider cold temperatures The extreme cold weather and severe wind chill that are affecting central New York are hazards to the safety of the Syracuse University community. The university should assess its current policy for class cancellation and take into account subzero temperatures.

The National Weather Service put a wind chill warning into effect for south central New York on Sunday evening that remained in effect until 10 a.m. on Monday. The public alert claimed temperatures would range from 5 below to 20 below zero and wind chills would range between 25 below to 40 degrees below zero. The alert also suggests that the wind chill would be cold enough to cause frostbite in 15 minutes or less.

Many students have to walk from nearby off campus housing or their

dorms to get to class. These walks can take longer than the 15 minutes it would take for frostbite to set in.

In addition, students who have to wait for the South Campus buses could also have to stand in the cold for a dangerous amount of time. The university has a responsibility to keep its students and employees safe and should consider these extreme temperatures when deciding whether to host classes.

Wind chill warnings go into effect when the wind chill temperature dips below negative 25 degrees for at least three hours, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. SU should follow this guideline to decide whether classes should be delayed or canceled.

SU’s policy for delaying or canceling classes is that there must

scribble

be 12 inches of snow accumulation with snow falling from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. and a forecasted accumulation of more than 18 inches. This policy is according to a March 2011 Daily Orange article from the last time SU canceled a full day of classes for inclement weather.

The other stipulation in the policy states that classes could be canceled if 36 or more inches of snow accumulated in a 24-hour period. There was no information on SU’s sites that reports a more current policy is in place.

The university should make its cancellation policy public. It should also introduce an amendment to the policy that would account for extreme cold.

The university should have a clearcut policy in regards to dangerously cold temperatures, for the safety of SU students, faculty and staff.

ports Illustrated recently released its swimsuit edition and debuted its first ever plus-sized model. Readers and columnists around the country applauded the magazine for moving forward, while others shamed them for considering these models as plus-sized to begin with.

Besides labeling average sized women as plus-sized, these models still conform to traditional beauty standards. Magazines need to embrace bodies of all sizes.

Sports Illustrated featured a model Robyn Lawley who has fluctuated between a size 12 and size 14. The magazine also an ran advertisement with Ashley Graham who is a size 14.

foot-two stature. But for a magazine that is notorious for showing thin, tan, big-busted women, this shows a little bit of branching out — but not far enough.

Magazines, like most media, are trying to sell. And Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition has become one of Time Inc.’s biggest revenue suppliers, boasting profits of more than a billion dollars according to Forbes.

If people are still buying and those numbers are increasing, Sports Illustrated sees no reason to change its methods — or shapes.

a different shape on the cover or incorporate a variety of body types in editorials.

A little over a decade ago, Sports Illustrated put Tyra Banks on the cover alongside another model, then a year later in 1996, Banks got the cover to herself becoming the first African-American model to earn the spot. That issue was one of the highest selling covers to date, clearly showing diversity and change can be profitable.

At Banks’ acceptance speech she said, “A lot of the women here say it was their dream. But it wasn’t my dream, because I didn’t think it was possible. And I didn’t think it was possible because of the color of my skin.” Banks thanked Sports Illustrated for being daring, and giving young African-American girls someone to relate to.

This speech could easily substitute color for shape if Sports Illustrated decided to be daring yet again. However, many editors that work for these companies seem to resist change when it comes to the dress size.

“The models we are used to seeing are super-slim, and not very representative of the real world,” said Kirstie Clements, former editor-inchief of Vogue Australia.

If top executives realize that their models are not representative of their readership, yet do not bother changing the system, this issue is not going to fade. There must be more outlets that people are willing to view and subscribe to that will show the body shapes people want to see.

In an effort to change the norm of never ending slim models, Caitlin Stasey of the CW’s show “Reign” launched a website titled Herself.

The website shows nude women of all colors and sizes with interviews attached. “Let us reclaim our bodies.

Let us take them back from those who seek to profit from our insecurity,” Stasey said on her website.

This website allows any woman to participate and is a step in the right direction — or at least a direction that gives readers the opportunity to choose who they want to see. As this website is still in its developing stages, we will have to wait to see its success. But if this website becomes widely viewed, maybe Sports Illustrated can follow its lead and embrace women of all sizes.

Grad students hold clothing drive for trans* community

By Satoshi Sugiyama staff writer

Graduate students in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics said they hope a clothing drive they organized to support the local transgender community will continue to spark conversations about the topic.

The drive has been getting recognized in “a couple different areas,” and is leading to conversations about the transgender community, said Amy Goss, a second year graduate student who was one of the organizers of the event.

“That is what the clothing drive did and that is what we are hoping for the future as well.”

The drive consisted of a two-week drop-off period and “clothing connection” in which people could visit and look at clothes. It was held earlier this semester at the Department of Marriage and Family Therapy Building

more chapters of the organization. With the help of Tess Slater, an academic adviser in the political science department of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, a chapter was soon founded and a leader was selected.

Felicia Romain, a junior political science major, assumed the role of chapter president after a round of interviews.

During her upbringing in Brooklyn, New

located at Peck Hall at 601 E. Genesee St. Graduate students in the department organized the

York, Romain’s father was engaged in community activism, she said.

“My father always taught me to be informed, and not just to believe everything I saw on CNN, MSNBC and so on,” she said.

By her estimation, Romain said she currently presides over roughly 20–30 members, eight of which work closely with her on the chapter’s board. Romain said she intends on making the organization much bigger. The goal, she said, is to establish a committed, involved base comparable to that to a group like the New York Public Interest Research Group.

clothes were donated to the Syracuse Q Center, a local organization that supports LGBTQ communities. Others were kept at the department, enabling the access to clothes for transgender clients throughout the year.

In My Father’s Kitchen and Rescue Mission, a Syracuse-based organization assisting the homeless, also received the clothing collected through the donation.

Goss said the drive was successful, saying the donated clothes filled up two full classrooms. Goss and her co-organizer Megan O’Brien both serve on the Transgender Team, a group of Falk students trained to work with the transgender population. Goss said she and O’Brien recognized the importance of reaching out to the transgender community.

“Sometimes it is really hard during the transition to get the clothing, maybe because it is uncomfortable or maybe there is financial

need that you are not able to get the clothing,” Goss said.

Organizers distributed fliers to ask for donations at SU’s Couple and Family Therapy Clinic in Peck Hall and several other local organizations that support transgender community.

Goss said being part of the Marriage and Family Department and Transgender Team drove her to plan the clothing drive. She added that she and O’Brien wanted to open up the clothing drive not only for their clients but also for the entire transgender community.

The clothing drive took place Jan. 5 through the end of January, and items donated include coats, jackets, T-shirts, dresses, skirts, suits, pants, undergarments and accessories. Goss said she hopes the program will continue next year, even though she and O’Brien will be graduating in May.

The club plans to host several forums to address such issues over the next year, the first of which is expected to take place on March 26.

The March forum, which will tackle the subjects of mass incarceration and the pris-

as well as the SU chapter of the national organization Democracy Matters.

Alexis Rinck, a sophomore political science and sociology dual major and a contributing writer for The Daily Orange, has been working on preparations for the March forum on mass incarceration as both the Peace Action chapter’s chair of programming and the president of the Democracy Matters SU chapter.

“Because of things going on in the world, I feel like there will be a pushback against policies that promote violence and injustice,” said Rinck, who is also planning a Democracy Matters panel discussion of money in politics with NYPIRG and SUNY-ESF’s Green Campus Initiative on March 31.

“It’s really about educating yourself about issues,” added John Burdick, chair of the SU anthropology department and former co-chair of Peace Action Central New York. “It’s very important to develop alternatives to mainstream views on foreign and domestic policy.”

Burdick emphasized that the Peace Action organization is not a pacifist organization, though some groups with similar focuses are.

“We obviously don’t think that America shouldn’t have gone to war with the Nazis, for example,” Burdick said. “But we think that military might is overused, and non-militarized solutions need to be discussed.”

Tara Lanigan, a freshman in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, said that she finds the codes helpful and uses the codes “because I am allergic to dairy and it’s saved me from eating dairy in the dining halls.”

While some students were unaware of the added codes on the entree labels, once they were educated about these latest dining hall additions, they were eager to start scanning at their next meal.

“I think it’s a really cool idea, especially for kids who want to keep track of what they are eating,” said Cameron Lynn, a junior sport management major.

The nutritional information also tells students which of the Big 8 allergens — fish, crustacean shellfish, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts and tree nuts — may be in the food, Weigl and Sullivan said.

Adding these QR codes to dining hall entree items aims to hopefully increase students’ awareness of caloric intake at each meal.

“Nutritional information has been on the food services website for several years and we always encourage students to look at it to help plan their meals,” said Weigl and Sullivan.

“This is another way for our customers to be conscientious about what they eat if they choose to use it.” sbrichhe@syr.edu

SUNY-ESF program becomes first of its kind in U.S. to earn accreditation

By Anjali Alwis staff writer

S

UNY-ESF’s natural resource management program has become the first program of its kind to be accredited by the Society of American Foresters.

The forestry program at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry had been accredited by the SAF since 1935. Accreditation lasts 10 years and 2015 was the decade-mark year to renew the accreditation for the forestry program. It was also an opportunity for the natural resource program to be accredited under the new standards set by the SAF. David Newman, the chair of the Department of Forestry and Management, decided to seek accreditation for the natural resource program because the timing lined up with the accreditation of the forestry program and because “our natural resources

program is a model program in what we are trying to accomplish with natural resource programs.”

In the past decade, many new programs in natural resource management and ecosystem management have emerged and evolved across the nation with no independent organization evaluating them, said Eddie Bevilacqua, the undergraduate education coordinator.

The process to get a program accredited is voluntary and requires the organization to write a detailed report that addresses the six areas of standards that have to be met. It must address the mission, goals and objectives of the program, the curriculum, the organization and administration of the program, faculty, students and the parent institution’s support, Newman said.

A visiting team from the SAF came to SUNYESF last April to evaluate the program, and then the accreditation was granted in December, Newman said.

The natural resource program at SUNY-ESF has been active since 2002 and is the largest major in the department with about 100 students. The students who are interested in this program often want to work in outdoor positions but in a management sense and are not interested in being a forester, Newman said.

The Society of American Foresters decided to establish standards for the natural resource management program since it stemmed from existing forestry programs. The organization started the process in 2008 and it established and identified the new standards in a 2012 report.

The new standards deal with making sure the curriculum included courses that ensured students had basic knowledge of ecosystems, education training and how to measure the ecosystems, how to manage ecosystems and meet specific objectives and evaluate them.

While the forestry degree focuses very heavily on forest ecosystems and how to manage them, the natural resource management program has a broader focus.

In terms of what exactly the accreditation

currently means for the natural resource management program, Newman said he isn’t sure yet.

For forestry, if a student wants to work in a civil service position or as a forester, they have to have graduated from an accredited program. However, for natural resource management, that norm has yet to be established.

“We expect over time as more programs become accredited, it will be seen as a necessary qualification for various types of positions, but right now there aren’t any,” said Newman.

Bevilacqua added that a future benefit of the accreditation of the program is that it will help establish that SUNY-ESF produces graduates that have a common set of skills that any employer should recognize as being important to natural resource management.

“There are a lot of agencies and organizations that may not even know how important accreditation is,” he said. “When they’re looking for new employees, they have to evaluate how good one school is over the other in terms of their curriculum and by being accredited we can guarantee that.” acalwis@syr.edu

“Rapes happened here before the fact and they happened after,” Goenka said of Ensler’s speech.

“Nothing changed. There was no discussion of here — the focus was far away.”

Eventually, the discussion became focused at SU, partly due to Chancellor Kent Syverud’s May 30 announcement of the realignment of sexual assault services. In what Goenka called a “grand swell” of student pushback, protests and petitions to the realignment, the administration realized this as an opportunity to improve services.

Syverud appointed students and faculty members, including Goenka, to be part of the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Sexual Violence Prevention, Education and Advocacy. The group was tasked with creating a report identifying areas that could be improved in campus and community culture regarding sexual and relationship violence.

Goenka said it became obvious that previous Advocacy Center services were often unable to fully meet all student needs.

Panel to speak on civil rights ArtRage Gallery to host local leaders for talk

SU alumna reflects on time spent as contestant on ‘The Bachelor’

By Jen Bundy staff writer

W

ith an opulent mansion, elaborate romantic getaways and stunning dresses, the ABC reality show “The Bachelor” makes falling in love look easy.

But behind the scenes, it’s a completely different environIACONETTI ment.

Ashley Iaconetti, 26, a Syracuse University alumna and New Jersey native, appeared on this season of “The Bachelor.” Iaconetti, known on the show as “Ashley I.” or “Kardashley” for her resemblance of Kim Kardashian, was vying for the love of Chris Soules, an Iowa native who’s been dubbed “Prince Farming.”

Despite lasting six weeks on the show’s 19th season, Iaconetti was eliminated during last Monday’s

episode after a terrible two-on-one date with Kelsey Poe and Soules.

She said the show taught her a lot about herself and that joining it was one of the best decisions she has

I am a very emotional person. Crying is something I do, but that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a great experience.

Ashley Iaconetti former “the bachelor” contestant

ever made.

“I matured throughout the whole thing, being away on my own for an entire month,” Iaconetti said. “It was a lesson of independence.”

Iaconetti said she felt the process to apply to be on “The Bachelor” was grueling, but also felt her dating life

was not leading to results, as she had never had a boyfriend.

Maura Gaudio, who became best friends with Iaconetti while they were in elementary school, said she pushed Iaconetti to audition for “The Bachelor.”

“We told Ashley she just had to apply. ‘This would be how you found love, on this crazy show,’” Gaudio said.

Similar to a job application process, “The Bachelor” website has an easily accessible section for casting applications — an application Gaudio quickly began filling out for Iaconetti.

Eventually, Iaconetti became more comfortable with the idea and decided to create an audition tape, filmed by her friend Jamie Hoskins.

“It was really cool. (Ashley) did a mock date — what her home date would’ve been like had ‘The Bachelor’ come to her hometown,” said Hoskins, who is also an SU alumna.

Iaconetti originally sent in a tape before Juan Pablo Galavis’ season, but never heard back until the end

of last year. Once she was contacted, producers from the show invited Iaconetti to come to a casting call.

About one or two months later, a group of around 50 women were contacted and flown out to Los Angeles for an intense interviewing process.

Gaudio said it included three days of in-depth, detailed questioning and psychological evaluations.

Two weeks later, Iaconetti was notified she would be on this season of “The Bachelor” and that filming would begin soon.

“Then you never get to talk to them. They take their phones on the first day,” Gaudio said. “Total silence.”

Gaudio said they had no idea what was happening during filming, and only knew when Iaconetti was eliminated because they used an app to track her location.

With Iaconetti home, Gaudio was able to watch all the drama unfold next to her on the couch at home.

Gaudio doesn’t think the see bachelor page 10

Staring through a camera lens on March 21, 1965, Matt Herron walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

He was documenting the historic third march in Alabama from Selma to Montgomery, led by Martin Luther King Jr., which proif you go tested for Remembering Why equal voting We Struggle: Reflecrights. tions on Selma: “It was Then & Now Where: ArtRage Gal- p r o b a b l y lery, 505 Hawley Ave. the most When: Monday, 7 intense p.m. five days of How much: Free shooting of my life,” Herron said.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the march, his collection of 160 photos taken at the event is being displayed at the “Selma to Montgomery” exhibit at ArtRage Gallery in Syracuse from Feb. 7 through March 28. ArtRage will also host a panel discussion on Monday from 7–9 p.m. with six central New Yorkers involved in the ongoing civil rights movement.

The exhibit and the panel are meant to reflect on the civil rights movement in the mid-1900s and the state of civil rights in the country today. The panel consists of retired Judge Langston McKinney, activist and former Syracuse University professor John Brulé and current SU professor and director of the Cold Case Justice Initiative Paula Johnson.

The discussion will highlight on a personal level what is happening in Herron’s photos, Johnson said. The panel will also be a forum to talk about activism and what was happening in the North while the civil rights movement took hold in the South, she said.

Barrie Gewanter, director of the New York Civil Liberties Union central New York chapter, will moderate the panel and said it is important to talk about what was at stake in Selma in 1965.

“Someone said, if you don’t learn from history, you’re bound to repeat it,” Gewanter said.

bachelor show portrayed Iaconetti well. She said watching the show when your best friend is a contestant is difficult, since unlike the millions of viewers, you know the person behind the camera.

“It is surreal — I don’t even associate the Ashley on TV with the real person,” Gaudio said.

Hoskins, who works as a television news producer herself, said watching a reality show featuring one of your best friends is a surreal experience.

“You have to understand that it is reality television, what you are viewing on TV is not always what it seems,” Hoskins said.

The drama on the show between the contestants also does not show the full picture, since all the women spend so much time together off camera, Gaudio said.

Iaconetti echoed the sentiments in saying that she and most of the women on the show have a big group message and talk all the time.

“I feel like we may be the closest bunch yet,” Iaconetti said.

Hoskins said the first thing Iaconetti talked about upon returning home was how much fun

she had, especially bonding with the other contestants. Iaconetti shared to Hoskins that even though it’s hard to imagine 30 women becoming close when they are going after the same guy, they supported each other and made great friendships.

However, not all of the episodes highlighted the good times, especially for Iaconetti who was well known on the show for her crying.

While her friends acknowledge Iaconetti is emotional, Gaudio said some of the tears on the show seemed to be a strong reaction that normally Iaconetti wouldn’t have.

“You only see two hours of what happened during an entire week,” Iaconetti said. “I am a very emotional person. Crying is something I do, but that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a great experience.”

In the end, true love was not in the cards for Iaconetti and Soules, which was not a total surprise to her friends.

“He would not be my pick for her,” Gaudio said.

“I wouldn’t have ever let her move to Iowa, so if she was going to marry Chris, he was moving.”

Gaudio said she doubted Iaconetti would enjoy life in rural Iowa, which is not the bustling lifestyle the New Jersey native is used to.

But Iaconetti says otherwise.

“I would move to Arlington (Iowa) if he

Johnson agrees with Gewanter, saying that the struggle for civil rights has never ended.

“It’s important for people to understand the meaning and courage of everyday people who were part of a movement to make the promise of democracy realized and they sacrificed a lot,” Johnson said.

One of Herron’s motivations for the collection was to show that the movement was more than the famous faces. Many black children,

were the one,” she said.

While Iaconetti is definitely not moving to Iowa now, her friends and family were supportive and happy with her journey on “The Bachelor.”

In terms of love, Iaconetti said the show allowed her to be more upfront about her emo-

tions than ever before, which is important since so much of today’s hook-up culture centers upon physical aspects — not the emotional.

Said Iaconetti: “It was the best experience of my life — so much more laughter than tears.”

Herron said, only remember King and Rosa Parks, but the marches in Selma were the result of years of work by thousands on a local level. He said he hopes the exhibit will create discussion and spark a more truthful, nuanced view of the events that took place 50 years ago.

Johnson’s Cold Case Justice Initiative at the College of Law investigates unsolved racially motivated cases from the years surrounding the Selma marches. She said the exhibit shows the faces of

farmers, workers and teachers, who provided the backbone of the movement on a local stage.

Herron himself will be coming to Syracuse in March to talk at both ArtRage and SU about his time as a photojournalist and the various events he witnessed on the job.

Said Herron: “We all lived in an atmosphere of fear and paranoia. One never knew when a peaceful situation would turn violent.”

THE REAL

DEAL Tang Flavor near Armory Square serves authentic Chinese food for reasonable price

By Rose Aschebrock staff writer

I

arrived at Tang Flavor, the self-proclaimed authentic Chinese food restaurant, located less than a mile away from Armory Square, with very minimal expectations. But I came to the conclusion that this is the best hidden jewel I have ever found in my four years at Syracuse.

The room is divided in two with a tiled lunch express line set buffet-style. Alternatively, you can walk into the seated dining area, like I did, and sit down in a booth. The seated area is beautifully furnished with light wood panel lining the walls, red and gold upholstered seats, lantern lights and hanging plants. Despite the decor, the restaurant was almost deserted, all but confirming my expectations of another Americanized Chinese restaurant.

I was asked to seat myself wherever I would like, and the waiter immediately brought over water, a bowl of peanuts and cutlery.

I immediately noticed the menu was separated. Half was titled “Real Chinese Food” and the other “Tang Flavor Chinese Food.”

I felt myself getting excited — with an entire section of its menu dedicated to “real” Chinese food, this place might just be the authentic stuff I love.

It really was. I started with the steamed dumplings appetizer and a small wonton soup.

The first dish that arrived was stuffed with sweetly marinated meat, drizzled in a slightly spicy satay sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds. The plate was also decorated with an

adorable little green pepper and carrot heart.

The entrees were all huge, and each came with its own bowl of sticky white rice. I ordered the dry pot style chicken, which was served over an apparatus similar to a fondue pot with an open flame — it was definitely the best purchase of the evening. In addition, I had the spicy Kung Pao squid and the small beef lo mein. The dry pot chicken was soft, chewy and served in a sweet black pepper sauce with bamboo shoots, celery, onions, bell peppers and snap peas.

The menu contained a very simple code, regular items listed in black with spicy dishes listed in red. The Kung Pao squid was listed as a spicy dish, but I ordered it anyway — a big step for me — and paired with the rice, I found it totally manageable. I just had to strategical-

ON THE MENU Here are some of Tang Flavor’s dishes:

• Beef lo mein • Dumplings in chili oil • Beef with kimchi • Hong Kong duck • Ox ribs sizzling style • Cold noodle with sesame sauce ly navigate between the chili beans mingling amongst the squid tentacles. Spice lovers may even want to ask for another bite.

The beef lo mein was your standard Chinese noodle dish, but what else could I expect as it was from the “Tang Flavor” side of the menu.

Greasier than the first two, the noodles were fat and juicy, and the beef was tender and soft.

Neither the lo mein nor the Kung Pao squid

came with vegetables, so if you are looking to add a little bit of green to the mix, I would recommend looking at the vegetables section of the menu.

At the end of my meal, the waiter brought me little takeout boxes for the leftovers, orange slices and a fortune cookie.

If you are a Syracuse University student who thinks No. 1 Kitchen represents real Chinese cuisine, you need to visit Tang Fla-

vor before you graduate. It’s a great place to go with a group, as you can order a couple of appetizers and entrees and easily share them.

The restaurant does takeout as well with a $15 minimum, so next time you are about to check out GrubHub, shake it up. As my fortune cookie said, “If you wait too long for the perfect moment. The perfect moment will pass you by.” rlascheb@syr.edu

gets, nor should he expect to get going forward.

“He was a little outside and then he didn’t get by,” Boeheim said. “He just didn’t quite get to the basket and he had some good looks. Ball just didn’t go down for him there.”

When NBA scouts watch Christmas’ tape, they won’t watch him dominate over irrelevant ACC big men.

They’ll want to assess how he fared against the potential No. 1 pick and what they’ll find is Christmas struggling against the first legitimate future pro he’s faced all season, which doesn’t suggest Christmas’ size would translate well to the NBA. He’ll get a new, albeit slightly less telling chance to answer that question on Wednesday night when Montrezl Harrell mans the paint for Louisville. After that, Christmas will square off with Okafor once more at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Feb. 28, and that’ll be his last chance to really impress scouts.

Because, as we all know, Christmas won’t have a shot to face a Tournament team’s frontcourt. Okafor is, in a way, Christmas’ NCAA Tournament.

Fortunately for Christmas, he has two weeks before the next round.

d’abbraccio Meaning, the middle was there for the taking — in theory.

The 6-foot-11, 270-pound Okafor — who SU head coach Jim Boeheim said will be the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft — defends well one-onone but not on pick-and-rolls, which SU has been running with Christmas all season long.

And in the final seven minutes of the game, Okafor was one foul away from fouling out.

But Christmas still couldn’t convert.

They weren’t all ideal looks. Okafor bodied up Christmas well and stayed disciplined enough on most of the SU senior’s shot fakes.

Yet Christmas got them off cleanly and, as he said, they were shots he usually makes.

And the fact he managed just one field goal with Okafor defending him — a mere garbage-time dunk — says more about Christmas’ lack of strength in the post than his versatility on offense.

He drove from the top for his first field goal, faked out Duke’s backup center for his second, pulled up for an uncontested midrange jumper and dunked on a nonchalant Blue Devils defense with 11 seconds left in the game for his other scores.

They weren’t the kind of points he usually

cornell When Cornell’s Connor Buczek ran up the field with a four-on-three advantage, his seemingly open pass was intercepted by Young, who reached across his body to take the ball away.

Twenty-seven seconds later, Nicky Galasso’s shot made it 4-1.

And after the SU offense took 11 minutes to score its first goal and five and a half more to score its second, the Orange offense had finally taken control of the game after the defense’s strong play kept the team in it.

“It was firing us up on offense, because we knew we were a little bit slow getting going,” SU attack Kevin Rice said. “They’re hitting people and they’re creating turnovers and they’re pushing the ball up the field. It gets the Dome going, it gets the crowd going. And it gives us confidence that we’re still in it.”

Once Syracuse gained momentum, the offense allowed for plenty of room for error.

But the defensive let up never came. Cornell’s only grasp at any form of momentum came in a 19-second stretch when it scored two goals to cut

the SU lead to 7-3 coming out of halftime.

SU head coach John Desko said it was especially impressive since the Orange wasn’t getting the ball off the faceoffs. Ben Williams was just 9-of-22 from the X, testing the defense to be the catalyst for what would become a breakout offensive performance.

“We were forced to play more defense and it helped us get in a groove,” Desko said. “It’s a good win, but great practice for us, too. It was great for the defense to play well. I thought they slid and recovered well all day long.”

While Desko may have alluded to it being almost a tune-up for the Orange, its containment of a team that averaged nearly 13 goals per game last season suggested otherwise.

Mullins acknowledged that SU was not happy with its defensive performance in its season-opening 21-7 win over Siena on Feb. 7.

On Sunday, though, he was confident that those issues were corrected.

“I thought we did a good job bouncing back,” Mullins said. “… We were definitely more physical today. We had some pretty good talk, and I thought we played a lot better.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

No. 23 SU responds late in game to hold off Virginia Tech

By Josh Hyber staff writer

As Quentin Hillsman walked over to a group of reporters last Wednesday, he instinctively began to answer questions he assumed were syracuse 59 about to be asked.

No, he doesn’t think virginia tech 51 Br ia nna Butler shoots too much and she should probably shoot even more.

“Our goal is to match (our opponent’s) 3s, even if it takes going 7-for-94,” Hillsman, the Syracuse head coach, said.

On Sunday afternoon in No. 23 Syracuse’s road matchup against Virginia Tech (10-16, 1-12 Atlantic Coast) at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg, Virginia, the Orange (18-8, 8-5) put that theory to the test. Despite shooting 4-of-26 from downtown, Syracuse ended the game on an 11-0 run and beat

the Hokies, 59-51.

“We shot the ball awfully in the first half,” Hillsman said. “… But I wasn’t worried, to be honest, because we couldn’t shoot the ball any worse. I thought down the stretch in the second half, we made some plays and made some shots.”

Butler missed two 3-point attempts on the opening possession. Isabella Slim then missed a 3 on the Orange’s next trip down the floor. Butler and Slim both missed 3s a minute later. Two minutes later, Butler missed another 3, and Syracuse started 3-of19 from the field.

With the game tied at 17 with two minutes to go in the first half, Syracuse missed three 3-pointers, and went into halftime trailing 24-19.

SU shot 0-for-17 from beyond the arc in the first half, which included attempts from six

different players.

But to start the second half, Briana Day hit a

layup to cut the deficit to 24-21. SU point guard

Alexis Peterson knocked down the Orange’s first 3-point field goal of the game, putting SU in front 28-27 with 16:34 to go.

SU guard Cornelia Fondren made a layup to cut a seven point SU deficit to five with 3:57 left and 34 seconds later, Butler hit her second 3 of the game to bring the Orange to within two. She then made two free throws to cut SU’s deficit to one on the next possession.

And after starting 2-of-12 from 3-point range, Butler connected on a 3 with 1:39 to go in regulation to give the Orange a 53-51 lead, one it wouldn’t relinquish.

“I always keep saying every post game that Brianna Butler has to continue to be aggressive and shoot the ball,” Hillsman said. “She made two big 3s. We ran some stagger screens for her and she stayed aggressive.

“This win was crucial. We had to have it.” jmhyber@syr.edu

canisius “focus more on their scout and their shooters. I think that that helped a lot.”

In the Orange’s Feb. 7 doubleheader against Denver and Canisius, Richardson managed just 10 saves on 29 shots and allowed four goals on eight free positions.

But this week, Richardson said she watched film of Canisius, noticing that its shooters shot low on free-position chances.

Richardson tracked the ball well, stopping bounce shot after bounce shot throughout the game Sunday.

The first time Richardson didn’t get her stick or body on a shot was 13 minutes into the game. SU had built a 5-2 lead and Canisius’ first goal came when the ball hit a defender’s stick, popped off of Richardson’s shoulder and trickled into the net before she could figure out

where the ball had gone.

Over a 10-minute stretch in the first half, Richardson dealt with players slashing through the defense and on the other end, the Orange couldn’t seem to get a goal with Erica Bodt firing a shot that appeared to go off the post. Gait and Bodt motioned to the referee, and Gait asked, “Hey, did that go in?”

“We’re still working on developing some mental toughness,” head coach Gary Gait said, “and that means playing 60 minutes, not taking it too lightly.”

But Gait called a timeout, assistant coach Regy Thorpe handled the defense and Gait broke out a whiteboard for the offense. The defense in front of Richardson regrouped.

Despite the breakdown, Richardson still got a

piece of nine of Canisius’ 12 shots in the first half. After the timeout, SU never looked back, outscoring Canisius 14-3 the rest of the game.

Richardson executed her best stretch of saves right after the timeout. The goalie dropped to her knees to stop a Canisius free position, swinging her stick in front of the space between her legs. The ball rebounded after the initial save and Richardson popped

back up to stop two point-blank shots.

As time ticked off the clock, and the Orange began to close out Canisius, Richardson fed off the energy of SU’s dominance at the end of the game.

Canisius fired a shot wide of the net and Richardson began to run to the end line to get the ball back for SU. The referee initially awarded the ball to Canisius, and Richardson

jumped up and quickly glanced at the referee, incredulous at the call. The referee recognized his mistake and handed the ball back to SU. “It just gives us a lot of confidence … to know she’s got our back,” midfielder Taylor Gait said of Richardson. “She’s always communicating to us what to do, so it’s good.” cjlibona@syr.edu

Joseph turns in another mixed outing

But he’s also the point guard for a Syracuse team that just lost a 80-72 game to No. 4 Duke despite having a halftime lead. He was pulled in the first half after some late closeouts defensively and briefly switched off offense and defense with Ron Patterson late in the game. While Gbinije brought the ball up on key possessions, Joseph played 29 minutes in which he scored four points, had three assists, two turnovers and two rebounds. The performance follows nine-point and 14-point showings at Pitt and Boston College, respectively.

“It feels good but it never feels good when you lose,” Joseph said of his offensive contributions.

He also played atop a zone that limited Duke’s dribble penetration, but still allowed the Blue Devils to get to the center of the floor too easily.

From there, Okafor owned his matchup with Christmas and dropped 23 points on the Orange.

The Blue Devils scored 40 points in the paint.

But it was their perimeter shooting that earned him a spot next to Boeheim on the bench.

With 3:07 left in the first half, Quinn Cook hit an open 3 with Joseph running out to him in the corner. When Justise Winslow hit another 3 over Joseph with 2:10 left, Boeheim called timeout and ran out to within 15 feet of the basket to yell at his guard.

Regardless, Joseph stayed in the game until he picked up a foul with 1:47 to play before the break.

When Boeheim alternated Joseph and Ron Patterson on offense and defense respectively from 1:45 to :49 left in the game, he said it was to set up the Orange’s press — not because of any defensive errors by Joseph in the first half.

Said Boeheim: “Kaleb made some good plays, he made some freshman mistakes that we can’t afford.”

Kaleb Joseph feels better. He’s found his range and found ways to get to it.

notebook got to take the ball to the basket when he can and he did it. He had a tremendous game.”

After scoring SU’s first points with a layup, Roberson took a pass from Christmas underneath the basket and dunked to put the Orange up 14-8.

He then added a late floater from the block to head into halftime as SU’s second-leading scorer.

Roberson flushed another dunk, and four minutes later cleaned up his own missed floater with an aggressive chase after the rebound and a power dribble to clear space before putting it back in.

Roberson added two more layups — including an and-one, drawing a fourth foul on Okafor — and tacked on some free throws. His 10 points and his six rebounds, including four off SU misses, led Syracuse in the second half.

had scored in his previous three games combined, his career night wasn’t enough to upend the Blue Devils.

But it was another step in the right direction as Roberson continues to pick his spots to be effective. “(He’s) just finishing better, getting open and just going after loose balls,” Gbinije said.

“He did a good job of getting some second chances for us. We need them down there.”

Syracuse defense locks down hard on Big Red offense for 14-6 victory

randon Mullins only remembers the chaos.

After goalkeeper Bobby Wardwell failed in clearing a ball to Henry Schoonmaker early in the fourth quarter, Wardwell was stuck well outside the crease as Cornell attack Matt Donovan flailed to try and tip in an empty-net goal.

But Mullins’ instincts took

over. He raced all the way from the sideline and stopped the ball from getting into the net with a full-body slide to preserve an already safe nine-goal lead.

“I just dove to try and stop it,” Mullins said, simply. “And it didn’t go in.”

It was Mullins that captained a stingy Syracuse defense to help keep Cornell’s three starting attacks to just one goal on 17 total shots. The No. 4 Orange (2-0) also

forced 16 turnovers and saved 12 shots on goal in its 14-6 win over the No. 10 Big Red (0-1) in the Carrier Dome on Sunday in front of 4,127 fans.

Syracuse played aggressive man-to-man defense for most of the game and held the Big Red without a goal in the first quarter and just one total before halftime.

“They’re going to keep wearing down at you, keep coming at you,” Cornell head coach Matt Kerwick

said. “I’m very impressed with their defense.”

The Orange defense didn’t wait long to show what it was capable of.

After Sean Young and Paolo Ciferri cornered Big Red midfielder John Hogan into a near-turnover with just four minutes gone by in the first quarter, Mullins came over with a cross-body check that sent Hogan and the ball flying, and Mullins to the bench.

By Chris Libonati

While Tyler Roberson continues to assert himself on the offensive end, there’s one part of his game he’s still hesitant to use — his mid-range jumper.

But for the Syracuse sophomore forward, there’s a simple adjustment to make when those shots don’t fall.

“I took it a few times today and it didn’t go in,” Roberson said. “Once I knew it wasn’t really going in, I just looked to attack.”

It paid off, as Roberson set a career-high in scoring with 19 points while grabbing 10 rebounds to help the Orange (16-9, 7-5 Atlantic Coast) keep pace with No. 4 Duke (22-3, 9-3) before ultimately losing, 80-72, on Saturday in the Carrier Dome.

Roberson’s role in the SU frontcourt has evolved throughout the season as a result of injuries to DaJuan Coleman and Chris McCullough. Though his production hasn’t been totally consistent, his aggression on the offensive end is on an upward spike.

“When I was attacking, good things were happening,” Roberson said, “so I just kept going to it and it was working out for me.”

ee’s whistle blew, Richardson would shuffle her feet in place. Though Canisius’ nine free positions rotated around an 8-meter arc, each began with Richardson’s routine and most ended the same way — with Richardson staring down the shooter, swinging her stick down to cover the space between her legs

and stopping a Canisius player’s bouncing shot.

In an improved performance from last week’s outing against Canisius, Richardson stopped 11 of Canisius’ 17 shots and saved six of the Golden Griffins’ nine free positions before being subbed out with six minutes to go. In total,

Syracuse stopped seven of Canisius’ free positions. No. 3 SU (3-0) topped Canisius (0-2) for a second straight week, 19-7, Sunday in the Carrier Dome.

“This week, (we) started off with Canisius, so (we) got a little bit more work with them,” Richardson said, see canisius page 14
