Current, past members of U100 reflect on 30-year tradition

Lectures to begin on Tuesday Speakers include WNBA president, photographer

This semester’s University Lectures series will kick off this week with this spring’s speakers including Amazon’s chief scientist, the president of the WNBA and a National Geographic’s first female photojournalist.

Esther Gray, the special assistant to the vice chancellor of Syracuse University, is in charge of organizing the University Lecture series. She said that the speakers are booked a year in advance, and that they usually host three or four speakers during the spring semester.

“University Lectures is a cross-disciplinary series so we are always looking for dynamic speakers who will appeal across a wider community,” Gray said in

efore Peter Hagan was associate director of admissions for Syracuse University, he was once a University 100 member, giving campus tours while wearing the group’s signature orange and blue striped rugby.

“I always liked the idea of helping people find the right fit for college since it can be such a daunting process,” he said.

Hagan started working with the Office of Admissions for SU in the year 2000 as a freshman political science major. He talked to hundreds of prospective students and their families and gave countless tours of the university.

Started by the Office of Admissions in 1985, U100 consists of a diverse group of students who act as student ambassadors.

They give campus tours, greet students and their families at open houses and host events for prospective students. Now in its 30th year, the U100 program has changed to reflect forward thinking yet still maintains its original purpose.

“The goals of the organization have not changed,” Hagan said. “But I hope we’re always improving to represent the university’s traditions and progress.”

Most clearly, this progress can be seen in the diversity of the students chosen to be a part of U100. According to the U100 website, members come from “various geosee u100 page 8

Graduate student runs own printing company

By Momin Rafi design editor

It takes three months for Patrick Riedy to produce his hand-bound chapbooks — small, usually 30-page long books of collected poetry that are printed in limited batches.

Riedy, a second year student in the English Ph.D. program, spends his breaks producing these chapbooks for PressBoardPress, a small print operation he founded when he was an undergraduate student at the University at Buffalo.

“Poetry has a longstanding tradition of trying to exist outside establishments, and part of that establishment is a control of publishing by big publishers,” Riedy said. “A lot of innovative or experimental work that poets tend to do might not have an audience with big publishers so the do-it-yourself culture has always been strong in poetry.”

The month-long process requires him to solicit poetry from artists he admires, produce a manuscript, print the covers and bind all the books by hand. All publications are accessible through PressBoardPress.com.

PressBoardPress prints a few chapbooks every year along with a yearly online journal. Since beginning the

operation, Riedy said he has gained valuable experience in composing the aesthetics of poetry. He aims to present the poems in PressBoardPress’ chapbooks to be visually pleasing as well as sonically pleasing.

“If anything, it helps me understand the constructiveness of poetry, language and the ability to see

a project through from an idea to a material but to also have those materials affect that idea,” Riedy said. “It’s made me pay attention to the way that you present your material — the way that the presentation can affect the reading experience.”

Riedy plans to run PressBoardPress “as long as it’s practical.” He aims to be a

resource in Syracuse University’s poetry community and wants to continue the small press tradition.

“Artists and poets that I admire were deeply involved in small press publishing,” Riedy said. “So I see myself as fitting into this tradition that I admire and have a lot of respect for.” mrafi@syr.edu

Camp stove causes small fire, flooding on Euclid

By Justin Mattingly asst. news editor

A camp stove fire in an apartment on the corner of Euclid and Livingston avenues set off the sprinkler system in the apartment Sunday night, resulting in minor flooding.

A senior in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, who declined to be identified by name, said he was experimenting

with a new camp stove in preparation for a camping trip during Spring Break when the flame of the stove escalated beyond its intended height, setting off the sprinkler system. The fire, located in an apartment building at 320 Euclid Ave., was reported just after 9 p.m. Sunday night. The Syracuse Fire Department left the scene just before 9:50 p.m.

The student, who lives on the third floor of the apartment build-

ing, said nothing was burnt. He said that when he saw the flame rise, he went to the bathroom sink and extinguished the flame, but the sprinkler system went off.

Syracuse Fire Department District Chief Robert Whitehead said there was still water in some light fixtures and some electricity was shut off in the building.

A National Grid van came to the scene around 9:30 p.m. and

remained at the scene past 10 p.m.

Chelcie Pellegrino, a senior communication and rhetorical studies major who lives in the apartment building, said she was inside when the fire started, but said she did not hear an alarm. She added that if she was not able to stay in her apartment tonight, she had friends who lived on Livingston. jmatting@syr.edu @jmattingly306

White Ribbon Campaign to hold pre-launch Monday

Syracuse University will commence its annual male-run Vera House White Ribbon Campaign on Monday with the goal of raising more than $125,000 for sexual and domestic violence education and awareness programs.

At the game, information tables will be hosted by Vera House and SU representatives to provide tickets for gift baskets that support the campaign, offer details about Vera House programs and services and

teach about prevention and education efforts on campus.

Monday’s event is the first of many for the annual White Ribbon Campaign, set to run from March 20–29. During that week, wristbands, paper ribbons and chocolates will be distributed in the Student Schine Center.

The awareness wristbands serve as a personal statement that participants will never support, commit or remain silent about abuse, said Chris Benton, director of communications and special events at Vera House.

“The campaign creates a forum for us to discuss these issues and how we, as a community, can get

involved in helping end violence,” Benton said.

The campaign has two main objectives: host a fundraiser for Vera House education and awareness programs and services, and create a public awareness campaign to stop domestic and sexual violence, Benton said.

This year’s slogan, “Stand With Us,” encourages community members to participate in the campaign to end domestic and sexual violence.

Among those participants are the members of A Men’s Issue, a student organization that promotes a safe community on campus. The male see white

Keystone XL pipeline success depends on congressional support

W

hile President Barack Obama, vetoed the Keystone XL pipeline last week, this is not the end.

Republicans along with a handful of Democrats in Congress are still in favor of the pipeline’s construction, and they plan to push the project through. But in order for that to happen those in support of the Keystone XL pipeline will need to convince a two-thirds majority in Congress to agree with them. While the future of the project looks bleak, it will not be given up anytime soon.

There is a common misconception that not enough research has been done to support the Keystone XL pipeline’s construction. For the project to become a reality, supporters will need to show that this project is environmentally responsible, provides economic benefits and has energy efficiency.

According to TransCanada, “almost overnight, Keystone XL could put 9,000 hard-working American men and women directly to work.”

The U.S. State Department’s Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) has also estimated that this project would generate 42,000 direct and indirect jobs nationwide. This project would not only employ Americans, it would also improve the economy.

While the U.S. economy has made vast improvements since the most recent recession, it is not out of the woods yet. The U.S. State Department’s final SEIS deducted that the Keystone XL pipeline construction would benefit counties along the route. The official report stated that 17 of

27 counties would see tax revenues increase by 10 percent or more. And a project of this magnitude is estimated to contribute around $3 billion toward the country’s gross domestic profit.

The largest and most vocal argument against this project is its potentially harmful environmental impact. However, the project is not being given enough credit for the research that has already been done on these potential dangers. Pipelines are arguably the safest means of transporting both crude oil and natural gases.

According to TransCanada, “The State Department’s Final SEIS, and four previous environmental impact statements written over the past five years, containing more than 17,000 pages of scientific research, all reached a similar conclusion: Keystone XL would have minimal impact on the environment.” In addition, this pipeline also passes the Greenhouse Gas test, which means that the project would have minimal impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

If the members of Congress want this project to have a shot of being passed through, they need to highlight these benefits, and clearly explain how they can outweigh the negatives.

Snow removal deserves more attention This February was Syracuse’s coldest in recorded history, as the temperature never rose above freezing and the average temperature was a frigid 9 degrees Fahrenheit. Akin to the record temperatures, this February there was total snowfall of 59.9 inches. While this winter was one for the history books, the city should have a preparedness plan in place to manage extreme snow removal.

So far this winter there have been 107.1 inches of snowfall in Syracuse. The prolonged freeze didn’t allow the snow to melt on its own and it also made the salt put down on roads ineffective. This led to messy roads and unreliable plow schedules. And the roads that were the most neglected were side streets. One Syracuse resident resorted to calling 911 last week after his road remained unplowed

for several days, according to The Post-Standard.

The Department of Public Works responsible for snow removal within the city has likely been overwhelmed with the need for snow removal this winter. But this is not an excuse to let the roads reach a point that they are impassable and pose a danger to drivers and pedestrians alike.

The city should have a contingency plan in place that can accommodate these extreme winters.

Often times, if the streets aren’t plowed in a timely manner, the snow is packed down and becomes immoveable. Because of this, a plan should be established to contract additional plow services, obtain a reserve of salt and hire the required man power. The city should make snow removal and clear roads a necessity. Investing in this plan

scribble

should be a priority.

Many SU students have struggled with the driving conditions this winter. The East Neighborhood, where many students live, has fallen victim to the subpar plowing services.

One of the contributing factors to this problem is that cars are illegally parked on the side of the road, which makes it impossible for a plow to drive through. East Neighborhood residents should take care to keep the roads clear and abide by the posted parking signs as to not further complicate the plowing process.

In order to keep the streets safe, both the city and Syracuse residents should take responsibility for their actions. The city should enact a preparedness plan to deal with the snow fall and residents should not compromise the city’s ability to keep the roads clear.

Wal-Mart raising wages sets precedent, other retailers should follow

L

ast week, Wal-Mart announced it would start paying entry-level workers $9 an hour beginning in April and $10 an hour in 2016. It’s a big departure for the big box retailer, which has gained a reputation for treating employees poorly to keep costs low.

Wal-Mart says the increase would cost the company more than $1 billion in the next year.

The company’s announcement has made waves in the low cost retailer industry and is even starting a broader national conversation on wage increases. But Wal-Mart’s decision to increase wages isn’t just a good move for corporate social responsibility. It’s a good move for making money, too.

retailer, it saw some of its best days during the 2008 economic recession.

When people flocked to Wal-Mart to save money. But economic conditions today are optimistic. The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment study shows that Americans reached the highest post-recession levels of confidence in the economy this month.

That means that people are willing to shell out the extra money at other, slightly more expensive retailers. One reason consumers are shopping at other retailers is the quality of the shopping experience.

Wal-Mart is known for its generally unattractive shopping experience and unfavorable public image. People of Walmart is a popular website profiling unsightly customers at WalMart stores around the country. In

2008, a Black Friday crowd trampled an employee to death, which garnered national attention and more poor press for the company.

A lot of the issues surrounding poor atmosphere and public image come from unhappy employees.

Wal-Mart has been in several public disputes with its employees, ranging from issues concerning poor work conditions to discrimination. That’s significant because Wal-Mart is the biggest U.S. based employer of Americans, according to S&P Capital.

By raising wages, Wal-Mart is taking the first step to make its workers a little bit happier. Happier employees mean happier customers and happier customers mean more money.

Wal-Mart has always made its profits by cost cutting, but in an economic environment that isn’t favoring low-cost retailers, it must focus on increasing the quality of its public image. By paying its employees more and making an active effort to improve the shopping experiences for consumers, Wal-Mart won’t only be making a socially responsible move, but making a smart business move.

“This is a chance to send out a message and goal on a greater scale. It’s something essential to become involved with,” said Anthony McGriff, AMI co-president. “It’s better to be proactive than reactive.”

Last year’s movement got more than 25,000 people involved in the greater Syracuse community, and the goal of this year’s campaign is to congregate 40,000 people, Benton said.

Vera House representatives and Lamar Outdoor Advertising, he added.

“I have had the honor of working at Vera House for 17 years and have seen the White Ribbon Campaign grow in leaps and bounds,” Benton said. “Over the years the campaign has picked up momentum and there is more community involvement.”

With all these efforts, Vera House has high hopes for what lies ahead in the coming weeks during the campaign.

“We hope that the community can talk more openly about domestic and sexual violence,” Benton said. “We also hope to work toward a world in which violence is no longer accepted.”

DOWN TO A SCIENCE Student pursues passion for environmental chemistry after inspiring visit to Ethiopia

By Anjali Alwis staff writer

D

anielle Berry fell in love on a mission trip she took with her church to Ethiopia when she was 15.

While there, she observed the struggles that the Ethiopian people dealt with due to their lack of resources, especially water.

The trip sparked her interest in water restoration and looking at the different contaminants in water. Berry said she realized she loved chemistry and wanted to study water so she decided to do environmental chemistry as it involves measuring toxins in water, identifying these different toxins and studying the effects they have on the environment and the people who are dealing with it.

Now a senior environmental chemistry major at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Berry stays involved on campus and recently finished in second place following the presentation of her research at the National Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Conference. The conference was held in Washington, D.C. from Feb. 19–21.

The poster that she presented was based off of work she did last summer in a research lab at SUNY-ESF under Jose Giner, a chemistry professor at SUNY-ESF. While Berry identifies as an environmental chemist, the poster and research involved organic chemistry. She said she was not originally considering doing organic chemistry, but when she heard of a summer opportunity to work in a lab with a professor she decided to seize the opportunity.

“Once the summer work began, I loved what I was doing there,” said Berry.

Berry was homeschooled from pre-K to the age of 16 and said that some of the extracurricular activities her parents put her in, such as Girls Incorporated — which encourages girls to get involved in the scientific field — or robotics groups, may have been what pushed her toward science.

She was accepted to Onondaga Community College at 16 and transferred to SUNY-ESF two years later. She did not know that she wanted to study chemistry, but during her freshman year at OCC, she had an adviser who encour-

aged her to spend her summer doing research.

She applied to different schools for research opportunities, including Syracuse University, and ended up spending her summer working in a lab doing research in chemistry.

“It was that summer that I fell in love with chemistry,” Berry said. “I was like, ‘Research is so cool. I want to be in a lab. I want do this. This is what I love.’”

Giner gave Berry the project for the conference, and he guided her through the research process. Giner said Berry was a fast learner and

hard worker and did very well.

“I would be happy to have a whole army of people like her,” Giner said. “It’s seldom that I get students that are that productive.”

“He taught me about how procedures got done in his lab, how to keep my notebook, how to go about the synthesis themselves,” Berry said.

“Basically he just kept me on track with the project and made sure I didn’t mess anything up.”

Although her passion lies in environmental chemistry, Berry is involved in very diverse activities on campus. She does African Dance

through One World at SU. She enjoys “anything with music and dance” in her free time and Berry likes to sing and play guitar and piano.

After graduation Berry is applying to graduate school, as she wants to further her education and get her Ph.D. She also wants to do research in third-world countries, studying drinking water and contaminants.

Said Berry: “I would love to go back to Ethiopia and do research there. That’s my long-term dream.” acalwis@syr.edu

“I’d say diversity is of the utmost importance when it comes to U100 members,” Hain said. “We have students at SU from all 50 states and over 120 countries, it’s a great group of well rounded, diverse people.”

“When I told them the programs I was studying, they cheered and made me feel I was doing something right,” LaLonde said. “Every single thing that came out of my mouth, they loved. That sort of appreciation and excitement is the best part of giving these tours.”

LaLonde’s grandparents and parents met at SU and as a result she’s always been involved in campus life. When it was time to apply for college, LaLonde toured the campus, which

Keaton Hain junior u100 member

marked her first interaction with U100. She was eventually accepted into SU and applied to become a U100 member at the end of her freshman year.

As a part of U100, LaLonde learned that not everyone wants or even expects the same college experience as she did when she was applying, which caused her to learn not only about other people, but about herself as well in the process.

“It really allows you to step outside your bubble,” LaLonde said of being a U100. “This campus means so much to each of us for so many different reasons, and that can sometimes be a challenging message to get across to these students.” rsandler@syr.edu

ennifer Fura had to simultaneously deal with the cancer diagnosis of her 2-year-old son, Scotty, while being pregnant with her daughter, Carly.

Though the disease claimed his right arm, Scotty is alive and well today — a healthy 11-year-old that enjoys playing sports such as baseball, football and jiujitsu.

“There are some things he had to learn to do differently,” Fura said of her energetic son. “But it never stops him from doing anything.”

The Furas, a family from Camillus, New York, talked at OttoTHON, Syracuse University’s first dance marathon.

The event, aimed at raising money for kids like Scotty

who were affected by cancer, had participants dancing for 12 straight hours and raised a total amount of $84,013.33 for Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital.

OttoTHON took place at the Women’s Building starting 6 p.m. Saturday and lasted until 6 a.m. Sunday.

“I think it’s awesome that everybody wants to help all the kids that need it,” Scotty Fura said.

Though organizers of the event originally hoped it would beat the record for the highest amount raised in a first-year dance marathon, OttoTHON did break the record for the highest amount raised in a first-year dance marathon in the northeast and the record for the largest number of participants in a first-year dance marathon.

OttoTHON also raised the third-highest amount of see ottothon page 10

Tom Ford’s fashion show move to LA puts him in Oscar spotlight

T

om Ford is always full of surprises, experimenting with fabrics, materials and techniques to have a show that really stands out. And this year is no exception — although it’s for a different reason.

Ford hosted his Ready-To-Wear Fall 2015 Fashion Show in Los Angeles last week instead of having it overseas as a part of London Fashion Week. For some, moving their show to a different

ALEXIS MCDONELL

I’LL HAVE WHAT THEY’RE WEARING country for fashion week would be detrimental to their brand. But if anyone could pull it off, it would be Ford.

Taking his fall show from London to Los Angeles allowed Ford to kick off the various Oscar events. It brought

together his two professional careers — fashion and film directing — and put him in the Oscars’ spotlight.

As a designer who dresses a lot of A-list celebrities, the movement of his show allowed him to properly fit his celebs and still be able to focus on his own show. In most years, the Oscars fall on a different week than fashion week and provide no problems for designers with shows and celeb dressers.

While the move may have helped Ford, it caused some difficulties for spectators. Attendees of fashion week had to make the decision whether to attend the show in Los Angeles or miss the first day of London Fashion Week.

That’s not an easy decision to make.

Even with that in mind, Ford was able to pull of an impressive number of appearances for his show. Celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Julianne

Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Anjelica Huston, Jared Leto, Miley Cyrus, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lopez, Rita Ora and others sat in the front row, effectively blowing the celebrity factor of any other runway show out of the water.

He was also able to pull top fashion magazine editors — editor of Vogue Anna Wintour — and top models like Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne away

ottothon money for a first-year dance marathon, said Jillian Lynch, founder and executive director of OttoTHON. At the event, OttoTHON organizers also announced that the marathon raised the most money of any philanthropy at SU. Lynch, a sophomore broadcast and digital journalism and citizenship and civic engagement major and former columnist for The Daily Orange, said she “couldn’t have asked for a better night” and that OttoTHON, as a first-year dance marathon, exceeded all her expectations.

“Besides raising all of the money we raised, the families from the hospital had so much fun and got to see the support they have from us at the university,” she said. “The dancers were so committed and looked like they were having a great time out there.”

OttoTHON organizers kicked off the event with a series of speeches. Lynch explained how she had first gotten involved in dance marathons in high school and how she contacted Brit Davis at Children’s Miracle Network to start one at SU. Davis, CMN manager of dance marathon programs for the northeast region, congratulated dancers on their donations and efforts.

“Tonight you guys are joining 300 universities who participate in Children’s Miracle Network Dance Marathons, so tonight is so much bigger than what’s going on in Syracuse,” Davis said.

Dr. John McCabe, CEO of Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital, also spoke briefly onstage.

“These kinds of events and these funds are

what lets us do the special and the extra things,” McCabe said.

In the absence of speakers, dancers in tutus and bunny ears frequented the stage, dancing to songs like “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson. The lights went off and were replaced by multicolored disco lights, creating a club-like atmosphere.

A couple hours into the night, Julia Pantalone, an SU alumna, took the stage to talk about her brother Nick’s struggle with cancer.

She recounted her brother’s struggle after he was diagnosed at 16, describing the heart-wrenching experience of seeing her brother with tubes sticking out of his body, enduring surgeries aimed at fighting tumors. He died in 2013 at the age of 19.

“You’re helping to alleviate costs most families cannot bear themselves,” Pantalone said to the gathered dancers. “I’m more proud than ever to call myself a Syracuse alum.”

During Pantalone’s speech, a few dancers began to faint, prompting Syracuse University Ambulance members to take action. The rest of the night was free of accidents, as OttoTHON organizers regularly offered cases of water bottles.

The long night featured performances by a group of ballroom dancers and the a cappella group The Mandarins. The event wound down in the early hours of the morning with tournaments of games like rock, paper, scissors.

“Mostly all night we danced,” said Emily Gallagher, a freshman international relations and history dual major who served as OttoTHON’s Day Hall president. “There wasn’t much standing around.” tjbeckle@syr.edu

mcdonell from London for the first day of fashion week to watch and be in his show — not an easy task.

Ford’s surprise also says something about the show system in general. These days, fashion shows tend to just blur together, each a procession of railthin models in designs with similar color palates and aesthetics. Few fashion shows feel like events — there are just too many of them, the process has become too harried, yet at the same time, routine.

Ford saw an opportunity to market himself and be different and grabbed it, but on a large scale what Ford did isn’t a format that could work. Single, major-season shows in far-flung cities would be a logistical nightmare and very few designers are ballsy enough to do them. But by going to Los Angeles, Ford proved that there are alternatives to following the standard show approach. He used his creative thinking and took a jump into unknown waters and came out swimming.

Fords’ shows have always stuck out from the rest. He is known for keeping his runway shows and clothing lines extremely exclusive, keeping the fashion world on its toes until the first model saunters down the runway.

For a long time, he didn’t release photos of his collections before the runway show and only used high profile celebrities as the models, such as Beyoncé. The name Tom Ford wasn’t that well known until Jay Z released a song with the designer’s name as the title.

This year Ford decided to shock us all by using normal models and live stream his show for the first time. Provided that his show was halfway across the world from everyone else in the fashion industry, his choice was smart.

Next season, Ford plans to return to London for his show. It may be a little mundane, but it definitely won’t be boring.

Koinonia Organic Juice Bar opens new location, offers healthy choices

By Rose Aschebrock staff writer

S

imply walking into Koinonia Organic Juice Bar, Cafe and Nutrition Shop was a very tranquil and relaxing experience.

Bare wood tables spaciously filled the cafe.

Zen rocks were stacked on the far table, plain light bulbs and large glass balls were arranged in the middle of the ceiling, basking the room in a soft glow. Plaques with good karma messages — such as “do all things with love” and “love is beautiful” — adorned the walls and gave the room a warm inviting vibe.

The stand-alone cafe, which just opened in January and was started by the Koinonia Center of Health and Koinonia Fayetteville Athletic Club, above Taste of India on Dell Street, seems like it will be the perfect addition to the alternative and diverse food culture adorning Westcott Street.

As a juice bar, I had to try out the extensive and organic juice and smoothie options and ordered the tropical vacation smoothie and mondo berry juice. They come in small and large sizes.

The tropical vacation smoothie — a blend of pineapple, banana, coconut and coconut ice cream — tasted just like a non-alcoholic piña colada. It was deliciously sweet, but thanks to the coconut ice cream, it achieved creaminess without being too heavy.

The mondo berry juice combines goji berries, blueberries, strawberries, banana and both pomegranate juice and coconut milk. It had a slight bitterness from all the berries, but it was extremely refreshing. I felt a little

healthier with every sip.

I ordered the chicken spiedie wrap for the main course. It was packed with raw spinach and organic chicken spiedies, which I was told is a particular type of chicken special to New York. The rainbow vegetables listed in the menu were a finely chopped medley of raw carrots, red onions, red peppers, cucumbers and tomato in a light yogurt-based sauce.

The wrap came with the option of either whole meal or spinach and the fresh, raw veggies tasted like summer — light, crispy and crunchy.

I followed this with the bison meatball wrap, which is offered either as a small or large portion. I ordered the bison in large — a good

move on my part, as it was divine — and I asked for it on the spinach wrap.

With chunky bison and organic beef meatballs smothered in red sauce, the wrap was thickly packed. It was paired with quinoa, spinach and fresh basil pesto sauce — perfect flavor pairing for a rich, warm and chunky meal on a cold winter night.

The menu also offered soup of the day, which that day was a vegetable broth and two salads — one chicken and one vegetarian.

And of course, there was dessert. A protein-packed brownie, protein pudding and power balls were displayed in a glass cabinet at the front of the store by the counter. I couldn’t

resist grabbing a hemp seed-coated peanut butter power ball and a granola-covered almond butter power ball on the way out.

If you are looking for something on the go, the cafe also has coffee, hot chocolate and herbal teas. The wall on the far side of the store is lined with an array of protein bars, protein powders and nutritional snacks. The cafe also accepts Off-Campus Meal Plans and allows customers to text orders in advance.

Due to the healthy options and the lengthy walk to Westcott, I came to the conclusion that Koinonia is the solution to the freshman 15 — I just wish it was closer to campus. rlascheb@syr.edu

later. He’s managed to play 58 total minutes — his lowest of any two-game stretch in conference play — but has scored a combined 25 points in Syracuse’s last two contests despite averaging 18.1 per game on the season.

“Fouls happen,” Syracuse forward B.J. Johnson said after the Orange’s loss at Duke on Saturday. “I think whenever (Christmas) fouls out, it really hurts us but we have to play through it. It’s really not easy, though.”

Johnson, Cooney and Syracuse forward Michael Gbinije all said that the rest of the 2-3 zone has to keep opponents from getting into the middle, where Christmas has to contest opponents’ shots and defend the rim.

Penetration into the zone not only leads to perimeter players crashing into Christmas, but also forces the forward to

step up and obstruct the lane to the basket. Often, guards draw the big man and dump bounces into the post — which sends Christmas recovering with limited control of his body.

Against the Blue Devils, two of Christmas’ fouls came off the ball and another on the fast break, but the last two were products of Duke slicing through the zone in the half court.

Without Christmas on the floor for the latter half of the second half, the Blue Devils defense ditched the paint, pushed even farther out onto Syracuse’s shooters and eliminated any hope of an Orange comeback at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

“We need to keep people in front better on defense,” Gbinije said after the Duke game. “A lot of times his fouls come with people driving on the guards.

“If we eliminate that, I think we eliminate some of Rak’s foul trouble.”

Without leading scorer Justin Anderson, one of the best spot-up shooters in the ACC, it is likely that Virginia will look into the high and low post to score against the Orange.

And with no postseason, the game against the Cavaliers is Christmas’ last chance to prove himself against a top-flight opponent, which happens to boast one of the country’s stingiest defenses.

He’ll also be honored in a senior day ceremony before the game in front of a crowd that has fully taken to his ascension into a premier scoring threat.

It will be a somber farewell if he finds himself in foul trouble for the thirdstraight game.

“I just need to stay out of foul trouble, I guess,” Christmas said after the Duke game.

As for what he can do differently to avoid fouling so often, Christmas rolled his eyes, shrugged and turned away from the question.

If he doesn’t find that answer, the end of his Carrier Dome career could play out with him looking on from the bench.

Wardwell shines for Syracuse in 1st half before rocky 2nd

By Connor Grossman asst. copy editor

Bobby Wardwell, Jeff Desko and Tyler Avallone came out of the Syracuse locker room at halftime before anyone else.

Desko and Avallone peppered shots at Wardwell, who stood firm with his body squared to his teammates and his stick held up next to his left ear. He made saves all over the net, repeatedly catching the ball in his stick, having it pop in the air briefly and then back in the pocket.

The senior goalie said the mid-game work helps him stay sharp and was a continuation of a first half in which he held Virginia to just one goal.

“I thought Bobby saw the ball really well and took away some of the opportunities they had in the first half,” SU head coach John Desko said.

Wardwell played his second consecutive full game, and has sat only three minutes in the last three games. He tied his season-high in saves this season with 11, and despite a rocky second half, held off the No. 5 Cavaliers (3-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) in a 15-9 win for No. 3 Syracuse (4-0, 1-0) in the Carrier Dome.

Wardwell smothered all but one of UVA’s 12 first-half shots, including one by Ryan Tucker that Wardwell went to his knees to block.

“He’s got very quick hands and when he does get a stick on the ball he’s a very good rebound-

virginia “Just a complete effort to have the score the way it was in the first half,” SU head coach John Desko said. “I think any coach in the country would be happy with that effort.”

er,” undergraduate student coach and former SU goalie Dominic Lamolinara said. “The way he played in the first half allowed us to do what we did in the second half.”

The latter 30 minutes of action, however, didn’t come close to yielding the same results for Wardwell and the Orange’s counterattack. The Cavaliers outscored SU 8-7 in the second half, including a series of six consecutive fourth-quarter goals without a save by Wardwell.

The sixth goal was followed by a media timeout, and Lamolinara said he told Wardwell that he thought his footwork was off. He said at times Wardwell needed to keep his feet square to the attack, and step toward the ball rather than outside of it.

Prior the blitz by the Virginia offense, Wardwell spent several minutes standing in front of the crease watching SU’s offense. The lulls in action made it tougher for him to anticipate what Virginia was going to bring on offense.

“I started to kind of lose focus a little bit and let up,” Wardwell said. “I thought the game was pretty much in hand but that’s something I need to work on, just mentally staying focused all the time.”

Lamolinara said there’s more of a mental aspect to having to wait around than it is a physical one and being ready for the offense.

He needed to just briefly regain his relentless, stifling first-half form.

With just over a minute remaining in the

Syracuse dominated in nearly every facet of the game. On faceoffs, the Orange held a 20-7 advantage. When it came to shots, Syracuse rifled off 50 compared to 31 for the Cavaliers.

On extra-man opportunities, Syracuse converted on five, while UVA failed to convert on its only chance.

game, the Cavaliers charged down the field.

The vulnerable Wardwell, who hadn’t staved off the attack nearly as well as he did earlier in the game, needed one final stop to permanently halt UVA. Zed Williams, with two goals already in the game, fired a shot from 15 yards out to the center of the net. Wardwell didn’t flinch. The ball went into the pocket of his stick, popped

up in the air for a moment, then back in — just as it did before the half started.

“The most impressive part of Bob today was the way he bounced back,” Lamolinara said.

“It’s tough to come back when you see your lead start to dwindle.

“Bob I really think was the MVP of the day, I can’t take anything away from him.”

The result was a 15-9 drubbing — the game was more lopsided than the score — for the third-ranked Orange (4-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) over No. 5 Virginia (3-1, 0-1) on Sunday in front of a season-high 4,755 in the Carrier Dome.

“I remember being down 6-0 at (Johns) Hopkins one year at halftime, and coming out at the start of the second half thinking, ‘Jeez, I hope we get one,’” UVA head coach Dom Starsia said. “There was a little bit of that today.

“We ran into a little bit of an experience buzz saw.”

This time around it only took Virginia 26 minutes to get its first goal and UVA went into halftime down 8-1. When James Pannell scored just over three minutes into the third quarter to cut the SU lead to 9-2, the celebration was subdued. His teammates jogged over to pat his back and give him a fist bump and the UVA bench hardly clapped.

The goal provided no break in the momentum of the game. Starsia said his team was rushing shots on offense, but that was because it hardly had the ball. When the Orange wasn’t controlling the game at the faceoff X, it was taking advantage of UVA’s seven penalties.

Kevin Rice said Virginia didn’t really adjust

on its man-down defense, remaining as aggressive as it would in its six-on-six defense.

“We thought that we could pull them out and create some seams,” Rice said. “I think especially after the first couple, we got a feel for their man-down. With our motion out there, we pulled them out and opened up passing lanes.”

SU midfielder Nicky Galasso said that playing a good first offensive possession is something that the team harps on consistently.

Getting a chance to see what it’s getting from the opposing defense is important.

And it was Galasso who took what the defense gave him in the first possession, racing toward the right side of the goal just 44 seconds in and leaving UVA goalie Matt Barrett to look back to see that the ball had gotten past him.

Starsia likened the game to a matchup of men versus boys. From that first minute of play, it was the Orange that controlled a team that beat it by five a season ago. But this time around, from the very start, SU made sure there was no chance of that happening again.

“Sometimes you just got to outscore the other team,” Starsia said. “… Had we scored a couple early, maybe the game plays a little differently.”

cavaliers there tonight and because of that our other stuff wasn’t there.

“When we’re moving, when you look back at games, that’s when we’re at our best offensively. Just movement wasn’t there.”

After Saturday’s game, SU head coach Jim Boeheim looked at the open shots his team missed instead of the ones it couldn’t create. He mentioned missed transition 3s by Cooney, Michael Gbinije and B.J. Johnson and added that SU had to “make some of them, if not all of them, to be in the game.”

That will also be the case against Virginia, which prides itself on top-notch transition defense, there could be even less open shots to go around.

“We know they’re good and have a really, really good defense,” Christmas said on Saturday. “That’s what we know.”

Like Duke’s defensive approach on Saturday, UVA’s man-to-man is capable of taking away the low post, perimeter and penetration all at once. Its pack-line defense emphasizes helping in driving lanes, doubling down on big men and closing out hard on shooters, which doesn’t bode well for an SU team dependent on only a few scoring threats.

UVA’s defense has held three teams below 40 points and three below 30. If SU doesn’t move off the ball, shoot better and ultimately improve the way it lagged against Duke, it could join those clubs.

“We didn’t spread it out enough tonight and we couldn’t get inside off the dribble,” Gbinije said after the Duke game. “... It’s nice we get to turn around and play right away, and we’ll need to fix those things against a tough Virginia team.”

Roberson keeps capitalizing on openings Tyler Roberson, Gbinije and Cooney tied to lead

Syracuse with five field goals each. But Gbinije needed 20 attempts and Cooney tried 16.

Roberson took just nine.

As the rest of the SU offense struggled — shooting 30.6 percent in its 73-54 loss to No. 4 Duke on Saturday night — the Orange’s sophomore forward was efficient, leading SU with 16 points and nine rebounds, six of which came on the offensive glass.

“He was just playing aggressive,” Johnson said. “Whenever Rak got the ball they usually double from Tyler’s man, and whenever that happens he gets a good look at the basket for an offensive rebound and he did a pretty good job of that.”

Roberson tallied seven of SU’s first nine points in the first five minutes, cashing in on two offensive boards and adding a free throw to an and-one.Then Christmas soon secured an offensive rebound and hit Roberson for a tough shot from the block.

“He started the game great, then he kind of got out of sync there for a while,” Boeheim said of Roberson. “But he started out great. It helps when nobody’s guarding you.”

But as Duke began to pull away, SU — including Roberson, for a span — stagnated and fell too far behind to come back. He did add a baseline midrange jumper with the game out of reach, a shot he’s been hesitant to fire for most of the season.

Now SU prepares to take on No. 2 UVA and its sturdy defense, which will likely present unique ways of pressuring Christmas and presenting chances for Roberson.

“He was just finding the open spots,” Cooney said. “They were double-teaming Rak, they were helping on Mike and I and he was just finding open spots. That’s what he needs to do, keep finding the open spots and making shots.” pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

Foul trouble threatens to plague senior Christmas’ last game in Carrier Dome

By Jesse Dougherty staff writer

D

URHAM, N.C. — Rakeem Christmas stood in place and stared down his oneway path to the Syracuse bench.

For the second time in five nights, Christmas picked up a fifth foul and sauntered down the length of the court to grab a front-row seat for the rest of the game.

In a five-point win over then-No. 9 Notre Dame on Tuesday, Christmas exited with 5:18 to play and the Orange managed to hold on without him. In a 19-point loss to No. 4 Duke on Saturday, he fouled out with 9:42 left and all but put the punctuation mark on a game Syracuse never gripped.

“He’s our leader offensively and defensively,” Syracuse shooting guard Trevor Cooney said after SU’s loss on Saturday. “And when we can’t get him going it’s hard to get the rest of us going.”

That becomes especially hard when Christmas is out of the game, which the Orange (18-11, 9-7 Atlantic Coast) can’t afford when it hosts No. 2 Virginia (27-1, 15-1) for a 7 p.m. game in the Carrier Dome on Monday night. To keep Christmas — who will be the only scholarship senior playing his last home game — out of foul trouble against the defensively savvy Cavaliers, SU’s guards said they have to protect him by stopping penetration from the perimeter.

This is the first time Christmas has fouled out in back-to-back games since his freshman year, when he fouled out against Seton Hall and then DePaul three days see christmas page 12

RAKEEM CHRISTMAS has fouled out in each of Syracuse’s last two games, the first time he fouled out in consecutive games since his freshman season. The senior forward will play his final Carrier Dome game on Monday night against Virginia. If he doesn’t avoid foul trouble, his final night in front of the SU crowd may be cut short. chase gaewski staff photographer

SU prepares for stingy UVA defense Orange dominates UVA all over field for 15-9 win

By Phil D’Abbraccio and Jesse Dougherty the daily orange

DURHAM, N.C. — The prevailing answer to Syracuse’s offensive futility on Saturday night was that the Orange has to “keep taking good shots.”

But the biggest problem in SU’s 19-point loss to Duke was that “good shots” were at a heavy premium.

The Blue Devils’ man-to-man defense all but physically shrunk

the court while holding Syracuse to just 19 makes on 62 attempts — with a focus on keeping drivers out of the paint and the ball out of Rakeem Christmas’ hands.

And if any team is built to duplicate, or even one up, Duke’s defensive clinic, it’s Virginia. The Orange (18-11, 9-7 Atlantic Coast) welcomes the No. 2 Cavaliers (27-1, 15-1) for a 7 p.m. game in the Carrier Dome on Monday night, when the conference’s best defense will

meet one of its coldest offenses.

UVA holds opponents to a 35.2 percent shooting clip — the country’s second-best average behind No. 1 Kentucky — and the SU guards will need to step up after stumbling at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

“We just have to move the ball better and really attack it better,” SU guard Trevor Cooney said after the Duke game of facing Virginia’s defense. “Our movement wasn’t see cavaliers page 15

Paolo Ciferri stomped his feet on the ground and pointed with his glove-covered fist to the upper deck of the Carvirginia 9 rier Dome. syracuse 15 A hectic 20-second sequence that featured a turnover by both Syracuse and

Virginia culminated in a face dodge from the SU midfielder as he raced 20 yards toward the goal and the ball hit the back of the net.

The goal put Syracuse up by four just 11 minutes into a game in which Virginia had hardly gotten possession. It was the exclamation point of a start for the Orange that virtually put the game away before halftime.
