s freshmen walk onto Syracuse University’s campus next semester, experts say they’ll start their college careers at one of the most expensive schools in the United States.

SU now joins Ivy League schools, including Brown University or Yale University, with an expected total cost of attendance of more than $70,000. While most students won’t pay that full price because they receive

federal financial aid or merit scholarships, experts say SU has to be careful with tuition hikes beyond this threshold.

“That’s a lot of money,” said Donald Heller, a tuition expert and provost of the University of San Francisco.

In interviews with The Daily Orange, higher education experts said a $3,300 tuition premium that will be tacked onto SU’s new undergraduate costs next year is a major component of why costs are crossing the $70,000 mark.

The premium is part of a $100 million fundraising initiative called Invest Syracuse.

The university, in total, is expected to increase the cost of attendance by 7.9 percent see costs page 4

GSA supports termination of Wheeler’s contract

By Haley Kim

digital copy chief

SUNY-ESF’s Graduate Student Association expressed support for a non-renewal of President Quentin Wheeler’s contract in a statement released Tuesday morning.

The statement follows a vote by SUNY-ESF’s faculty union in early March, in which 85 percent of 177 union members who submitted ballots voted to recommend Wheeler’s contract be terminated.

“At this point, the GSA Senate can not envision how this degree of

dissatisfaction and the overall rift at the core of our institution can be sustained for much longer,” GSA said in the resolution.

The organization acknowledged that it has successfully worked with Wheeler and the administration on graduate student issues. That includes a graduate student “Bill of Rights,” a planned increase for teaching stipends and an agreement to review the graduate student program.

The statement comes after SUNY-ESF’s Undergraduate Student Association released a statement on March 8 commending administration

and faculty for efforts toward campus reconciliation. That statement was a follow-up to USA’s original February resolution, which called for clarification of the vision for strategic plans and increased communication from the administration.

GSA released a statement in January expressing disappointment in the administration’s abrupt removal of three department chairs and concern about the release of a major academic plan without consulting the organization.

SUNY-ESF faculty and administration have been embroiled

in conflict for months, starting with a resolution passed by the Academic Governance body in December calling for increased consultation between faculty and the administration.

In November 2016, SUNYESF faculty passed a vote of no confidence in Wheeler, expressing frustration in the president’s leadership style and citing a climate of fear.

AG voted on Tuesday to begin the first steps in considering a second vote of no confidence. hykim100@syr.edu

SUNY-ESF’s Academic Governance body approved the first steps in voting no confidence in President Quentin Wheeler for the second time in less than two years.

The vote, conducted Tuesday at the body’s meeting in Gateway WHEELER Center, is the latest example of faculty’s frustration with Wheeler and years-long tensions with college administrators.

The body’s executive committee will soon present the formal vote of no confidence resolution at a future AG meeting, according to its governing documents.

AG first voted no confidence in Wheeler in November 2016, citing what they said were examples of poor leadership. Conflict between faculty and administrators continued since the 2016 vote, most notably in the wake of the administration’s controversial decision earlier this year to remove three faculty department chairs just days before the start of the spring semester.

Members passed the motion Tuesday with 47 votes in favor of triggering the vote of no confidence process. Of the other AG members who handed in ballots, 11 voted against the motion and one abstained. The motion to begin the vote of no confidence process came at the objection of Undergraduate Student Association members present at the meeting.

“I don’t think anyone in Albany or in the Syracuse community, let alone on this campus, (has) any doubt of your lack of confidence in the president,” said Ryan Hicks, USA’s director of external affairs, as he addressed AG. “As opposed to getting bogged down with another formal expression of your lack of confidence, I see there being more productive uses for this body.”

USA has commended SUNY-ESF administration and faculty efforts to quell tensions on campus in recent weeks.

Vote to remove AG’s executive chair

AG spent about 40 minutes discussing the validity of the recent vote to remove Klaus Döelle, its former executive chair. The body on Tuesday ultimately voted to uphold the results of the February ballot, despite questions about its legality within the organization’s bylaws. see vote page 4

Disability services audit committee to launch

By Catherine Leffert asst. news editor

Syracuse University announced on Tuesday that it’s seeking members for a committee to help oversee an audit of campus disability services that was first announced by Chancellor Kent Syverud last year.

An SU press release published Tuesday afternoon said the audit would begin “soon.” No specific date was set. Chancellor Kent Syverud first announced the possibility of an audit during an address to the University Senate in December.

The steering committee will be made up of administrators, students, faculty and staff. The committee will be responsible for

choosing a national consultant to perform the audit, according to the release. The committee will also work with the consultant to implement recommendations to better serve SU’s disability community, per the release.

Students, faculty and staff can self-nominate or nominate someone else for the steering committee

by Monday, April 2 by emailing Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly. Wheatly and Dolan Evanovich, senior vice president for enrollment and the student experience, along with Pete Sala, vice president and chief facilities officer, will head the committee.

“Despite our progress in making Syracuse University more welcom-

ing for everyone, we know we need to make significant improvements in the service of students, faculty and staff with disabilities,” Wheatly said in the Tuesday press release.

The audit, which will start after the committee is assembled and selects a consultant, will evaluate aspects of SU policy in regard to housing, medical leaves and service animals, among other things.

Syverud, in his December Senate address, said the committee should examine the location of the Office of Disability Services and how much money SU should allocate to disability services.

In January, the chancellor also said he’s requested Wheatly to assure that SU will make “sub-

stantial progress” this semester on assuring that, under the university’s new Information and Communication Technology Accessibility Policy, “our classroom materials, library resources and many other areas of digital content are accessible to those with disabilities.”

That technology policy was first announced at the start of December 2017 and took effect earlier this month.

Evanovich, in a student media press briefing in early March, gave an overview of the status of the disability services audit. He said recommendations from the review can be expected near the end of the fall 2018 semester. ccleffer@syr.edu | @ccleffert

SU team presents energy-saving technology

By Olivia Cole staff writer

A team of Syracuse University researchers recently presented a micro air conditioner they developed to the United States Department of Energy during a summit in Washington, D.C. The team specifically created a Micro-Environmental Control System as an alternative to current air conditioners. The technology could save at least 15 percent of total HVAC energy consumption in the U.S., a researcher said.

The Daily Orange spoke with Professor H. Ezzat Khalifa, the NYSTAR distinguished professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, to discuss his team’s energy conservation project.

The Daily Orange: What is the

ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit?

H. Ezzat Khalifa: This was created in 2007 in response to a report from the National Academies, called the Rising Above the Gathering Storm. They fund research in energy. Projects are typically three years old and funded with (millions) of dollars.

They are concerned with innovations of energy that, if successful, can have a huge impact on the country.

The D.O.: Can you explain what your Micro-Environmental Control System is and how it works?

H.E.K.: Today, the way we keep building (comfort) in the summer and winter is we condition the entire space. We do this to make the occupants comfortable, productive and healthy.

But the occupants do not occupy the entire space. The occupant occupies only the small environment around themselves.

The DOE in 2015 said that if we raise the temperature in the summer and lower it in the winter, the country would save a huge amount of energy. Buildings consume around 40 percent of all the energy used in the U.S. A good part of this is part of HVAC — heating, ventilation and air-conditioning. But if you raise the heat in the summer you will be uncomfortable. And if you’re uncomfortable, you will not be productive.

The challenge is to find a way to make people comfortable in a building where the thermostat has been raised to uncomfortable limits. We proposed a MicroEnvironmental Control System — a

small air-conditioning system for one person. It just conditions the environment around the person, making the person comfortable.

The D.O.: How did you prepare for the summit?

H.E.K.: The summit happens every year. It is a very large gathering of the “who’s who” in energy.

More than 2,000 people attend the summit every year.

Those who are receiving money from ARPA-E are required to display their projects in booths. We had a booth and have been displaying our project for the past three years. This year we displayed a successful prototype. There are about 300 booths at the summit.

Of those, they select six to be specially demonstrated at the see technology page 4

The newspaper and online journalism and magazine journalism departments at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications will combine the resources of both departments for students enrolling in fall 2019.

A combined program puts professors previously separated by different fields under the same department, and targets incoming undergraduates who have an interest in either.

The merger will better reflect industry practices while exploring current approaches to content coverage, said Melissa Chessher, chair of the magazine department and director of magazine, newspaper and online journalism at Newhouse.

Chessher will also chair the new merged department.

Testing what we are creating, wanting to make sure everyone in (the) department, school and university is comfortable with what we are doing takes a while.

Melissa Chessher

magazine department chair

The new department will be called magazine, news and digital journalism. Faculty from the two departments voted to approve the name last May, and Newhouse faculty voted to approve the name last fall.

For students currently enrolled in Newhouse, not much will change.

The final merger needs approval by Newhouse, Syracuse University and New York state, and there won’t be a fully merged curriculum until the Class of 2023 arrives.

“Testing what we are creating, wanting to make sure everyone in (the) department, school and university is comfortable with what we are doing, that takes a while,” Chesser said.

New graduation requirements will be different from the current requirements, she said. The new department will place a greater emphasis on skill-building through editing, additional electives and more general beginning news writing courses, she added.

The timeline of the merger dates back to at least 2017, when a merger task force voted unanimously to combine the two majors. The vote came after the task force looked at peer institutions and interviewed professionals in media industries, Chessher said.

The initial goal of the merger was to create a shared experience in see merger page 4

costs next year, including the premium. Mark Kantrowitz, an expert on college tuition and financial aid, said the total increase in costs at SU is relatively high, but the university isn’t alone.

Kantrowitz, the publisher of PrivateStudentLoans.guru, a website that provides college students loan borrowing tips, said other major universities are starting to drift toward attendance costs edging over $70,000 per year.

Brown University, for example, has projected a total cost of attendance of almost $74,000 next year. Cornell University is expected to have a total annual cost of attendance of nearly $73,000 for certain colleges at the university.

A report published earlier this month by the SU Senate’s Committee on Budget and Fiscal Affairs stated that next year’s undergraduate costs will be just below the projected median costs of attendance at a group of 26 peer institutions. Some SU peers include Cornell University, the University of Rochester, Boston College and Boston University, among others. Most of the university’s peers are on the East Coast.

The university has pledged to fundraise $40 million to support undergraduate scholarships and financial aid, as part of the fiveyear Invest Syracuse plan.

Most students will pay the net price, which is the total cost of attendance subtracted by the amount of scholarships and financial aid. The average net price of tuition at SU is $28,000, according to the university.

But Laurie Kopp Weingarten, co-founder and director of One-Stop College Counseling, said an expected 3.9 tuition base increase at SU coupled with the new Invest Syracuse premium could, in the future, affect upper-middle class families who don’t qualify for federal financial aid but can’t afford the increasingly expensive university.

“I think there’s going to be a point where parents push back. Because there are a lot of other options,” Weingarten said.

SU set a record last fall for the highest number of applications in its history. As of Jan. 29, the university announced that it had received more than 34,000 first-year undergraduate applications.

Maurice Harris, dean of SU’s undergraduate

dailyorange.com news@dailyorange.com

admissions, in a statement to The Daily Orange on Tuesday said that as the university “generates new revenue to advance the Academic Strategic Plan, Invest Syracuse and Campus Framework, prospective students and families recognize the return on investment, the value and the quality of the Syracuse student experience inside and outside the classroom.”

Harris also said the pool of applications was diverse and “impressive.”

But experts agreed that it’s unlikely that tuition costs will drop at private, four-year universities in the next 10 to 20 years. On the contrary, experts said some major colleges in the U.S. could have costs of attendance north of $100,000 at the end of that time frame.

Weingarten said upper-middle class families might consider sending kids to other regional schools over SU, such as Binghamton University, if costs continue to rise. As of January, Binghamton had a projected total cost of attendance of about $27,000 for in-state residents. Projected costs for both out-ofstate and international students were about $42,000 at Binghamton.

Parents, moving forward, might also consider sending kids to one of SU’s peers with lower costs of attendances, Weingarten said. Boston College, a peer, announced last week that its cost of attendance will be just under $70,000 next year.

“The families that bleed Orange are going to keep going to Syracuse. Whether they’re legacy families, or families that are ‘so in love with Syracuse,’” Weingarten said. “But at some point, you just have to say ‘Does this make sense financially?’ Even if you have money.”

Martin Van Der Werf, associate director of editorial and postsecondary policy at the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, said universities are starting to understand they are reaching a point at which most people can’t pay a given total cost of attendance.

Edging costs above $70,000 could be a way for SU to test whether students are still attracted to the university if that much money is required for attendance, Van Der Werf said.

“It sounds like a pretty dramatic tuition hike,” Van Der Werf said. sfogozal@syr.edu | @Sam13783

The body’s governing documents require two-thirds of membership to vote on an officer’s or committee member’s removal. Only 115 of AG’s 171 voting members participated in the February vote to remove Döelle, but some of the members who didn’t vote could have been on sabbatical or other forms of leave, some AG members said.

AG’s executive committee received two complaints against Döelle in February, according to an email obtained by The Daily Orange. The formal complaint stated that Döelle was not formally appointed in proper AG procedure, had not taken steps in regard to some of the administration’s actions and “exhibits a lack of understanding of basic processes associated with the Bylaws and Standing Rules of Academic Governance.”

which students could explore more expertise and gain more digital skills while still utilizing existing offerings. Seth Gitner, a professor of visual journalism at Newhouse and co-chair of the task force, said it would be beneficial for magazine students to take journalism classes alongside their peers in the newspaper department.

The collaboration between two previously separated departments helps journalism students work together, Chessher said.

“One of the things great about it is that it’s one of the few schools that still offered a magazine major,” Chessher said. “I love the idea that they are together. It’s very reflective of Newhouse family, a name that is synonymous with both newspapers and magazines together.”

The D.O.: What is the Syracuse Center of Excellence and how are they helping you?

H.E.K.: The Syracuse Center of Excellence was established by New York State over ten years ago. It is known as the Syracuse Center of Excellence in environmental and energy systems.

It is a research center that also has the mission of collaborating with industry to transfer technology to assist the industry of New York state in the area of environment and energy systems.

The building is rated to be — there is something called Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design — diamond, the highest rating. They have labs in the building, but the building itself is essentially a lab.

project and your research?

H.E.K.: This project involves five partners, led by Syracuse University. We have two corporate partners — a small corporation in Syracuse called Air Innovations, which specializes in making specialty environmental control systems in small numbers.

Then we have United Technology Research Center — the corporate research arm of the United Technologies Corporations, one of the largest corporations in the country and one of the largest air-conditioning company in the world.

There is a small company in Skaneateles, Bush Technical, headed by one of the most talented engineers, who I recruited to develop a small compressor specially for our system.

Then we have Cornell University. These are the five partners, Syracuse as the lead.

This is a collaboration. The secret to success in a complex program like the one we have is to have the right people from different places.

Marc Molinaro should be New York GOP’s pick for governor in 2018

S

tate Sen. John DeFrancisco was long seen as the sole Republican willing to be a sacrificial lamb to incumbent Gov. Andrew Cuomo. But with Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro now in the gubernatorial race, DeFrancisco should step aside to ensure Molinaro is the Republican nominee.

DeFrancisco (R-Syracuse), the anticipated GOP nominee, would likely fall victim to New York state’s heavily liberal tilt, considering the expected Democratic wave in the 2018 elections. DeFrancisco has admirably served in the State Senate for more than 25 years and has acted as the state’s deputy majority leader since July 2015.

But his age will factor into voters’ perceptions of him as a candidate,

especially since it means he has a long voting record to be critiqued. That includes a highly publicized gaffe over the chaos in Charlottesville in August 2017.

This isn’t to say Molinaro, if nominated, would win the election.

Even amid intraparty warfare among New York Democrats, ongoing questions about Cuomo’s ethics in light of a corruption conviction against his former aide and a gubernatorial run from “Sex and the City star” Cynthia Nixon, Molinaro would still have to run against an incumbent.

But Molinaro gives hope for the future of a party that hasn’t won a statewide election since George Pataki’s re-election in 2002.

Molinaro, 42, has garnered an incredible resume of public service. At 18, he was elected

Rising cost disproportionate to quality of SU experience Syracuse University will soon be one of the most expensive schools in the United States, and The Daily Orange Editorial Board isn’t convinced the costs will be worth the experience.

SU will join the ranks of Ivy League schools, including Brown University and Columbia University, with a total cost of attendance surpassing $70,000 for the 2018-19 academic year. SU’s Invest Syracuse initiative, a five-year program that introduces a $3,300 tuition premium for incoming firstyear and transfer students, largely contributes to the increase.

Invest Syracuse is designed to improve the student experience, but exactly for who, when and in what capacities are still unclear.

The campus community sees SU’s vision for the future in the forms of construction on Waverly Avenue to the implementation of the Academic Strategic Plan. But the current student experience isn’t worth this steep attendance cost increase, especially when areas including mental health resources still lack necessary support.

If SU is committed to diversifying its student body and improving the quality of campus life, it’s crucial for the administration to consider the implications a tuition hike has on accessibility for applicants from an array of backgrounds. While Invest Syracuse has pledged $40 million toward undergraduate scholarships

BRANDON ROSS FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS

to the board of trustees in his hometown of Tivoli and a year later, he became the youngest mayor in the United States. He held that position for 11 years.

Molinaro was elected to the State Assembly before becoming executive of Dutchess County in 2011. Molinaro’s youth and accomplishments may not give the New York GOP a chance at the governor’s mansion in 2018, but they can boost his name recognition for another run down the road.

This was the strategy of former Westchester County Executive

and Republican Rob Astorino when he ran for governor in 2014. He lost by 14 points, an accomplishment for him given the lack of financial support for his candidacy and the state’s political leaning. Had he not lost re-election as county executive in 2017 and had Hillary Clinton been elected president, Astorino would have been well-positioned to become governor. But given the anti-Republican sentiment, it seems time to revisit the GOP’s strategy with a clean slate and fresh face.

If current numbers are any indication, Molinaro is already the New York Republican Party’s nominee for governor. His campaign said he has about 50 percent of the weighted vote of Republican State Committee

members ahead of the party’s May nominating convention, Syracuse. com reported. But endorsements can change over time, and DeFrancisco’s spokespeople say he plans to continue campaigning for endorsements.

But by continuing his challenge for the governor’s mansion, DeFrancisco is doing more to hurt the Republicans than help them.

As he said before he announced his campaign, the party needs to unite behind one candidate long before the convention. DeFrancisco is spot-on, which is why he should step aside for the party to unite around Molinaro.

funds and financial aid, SU should continually look at its net tuition price to ensure these costs don’t impede students from applying or committing.

SU isn’t alone in its inflated costs.

Cornell University, the University of Rochester and Boston College are reporting higher costs as well. But private universities are exacerbating a problem that could have consequences for the accessibility of these institutions.

SU set a record last fall for the highest number of applications in its history, collecting more than 34,000.

The interest in attending SU is strong, but it’s important the university’s total cost keeps prospective students’ aspirations tangible.

When investing in student education, the administrators who make decisions about attendance costs must remember that the experience of SU’s current students matters just as much as those who will attend the university in the future.

The Daily Orange Editorial Board serves as the voice of the organization and aims to contribute the perspectives of students to discussions that concern Syracuse University and the greater Syracuse community.

United in song International quartet to support hurricane relief with jazz concert

By Haley Robertson asst. copy editor

W PETER MACK is a bassist and leader of the quartet From the Heart, which will perform Friday to benefit CNY Jazz and the Spanish Action League.

hen bassist Peter Mack reached out to his longtime friend Larry Luttinger about a performance opportunity, Luttinger had an even better idea.

As executive director at CNY Jazz, Luttinger thought that bringing Mack and his group to Syracuse would be a great chance to fundraise for CNY Jazz and the Spanish Action League. Both organizations work to serve youth in the community and cater to issues like the devastation from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

“We don’t see things in the headlines that often, (s0) people think ‘oh, it’s behind us’ or ‘it’s not relevant,’” said Elisa Morales, executive director of the Spanish Action League, about the island’s plight. “It is relevant, and it is something that needs to be paid attention to.”

To raise awareness of the continued need for aid, CNY Jazz is partnering with the Spanish Action League, also known as La Liga, to host a benefit concert in Syracuse on Friday night. The concert will feature an evening of jazz performed by the international quartet From the Heart. All proceeds will support the common missions of CNY Jazz and La Liga.

The two organizations have a longstanding relationship. Each summer, La Liga’s youth development program offers teens the opportunity to volunteer with CNY Jazz for eight weeks as ambassadors for the organization.

“It is as much of an awareness event as it is a fundraiser,” said Luttinger.

From the Heart is underwriting all artist fees for the performance, and will be giving out free CDs at the event, according to a press release from CNY Jazz.

Led by Mack, the international group also includes percussionist Harvey Sorgen, pianist Angelica Sanchez and guitarist Omar Tamez. The other group members “stay on the modern edge of jazz” by setting new paths in the industry, he said.

“We try to tell a story throughout the evening with our music,” Mack said.

He added that the quartet will perform a variety of jazz pieces, including selections from Jaco Pastorius, Carla Bley, Charles Mingus, Charlie Haden and original pieces by everyone in the band.

When Mack reached out to Luttinger about performing at CNY Jazz as part of the quartet’s tour, Luttinger proposed the idea of a co-fundraiser see concert page 8

Syracuse Stage releases lineup TRYON to open for Drake Bell in Syracuse

By Caroline Bartholomew asst. feature editor

Syracuse Stage has announced its lineup for the 2018-19 season, which includes “Noises Off,” “Possessing Harriet,” “Elf the Musical,” “Native Gardens,” “Pride and Prejudice” and “The Humans.” The shows are a blend of comedy, music and drama.

“It is a season bursting with dynamic stories and vibrant characters,” said Syracuse Stage artistic director Robert Hupp in a press release. “We want everyone to come to Syracuse Stage, which means producing theater that speaks to people in a variety of ways.”

Hupp noted that the season will bring both shows that are welcom-

ing to a broad audience and shows that aren’t as well-known.

“Noises Off,” the first on the lineup, runs from Sept. 12-30 and follows a company of actors trying to perform their own comedy. The action switches between on stage and backstage as actors produce their show, per the release. Theclassic comedy had a Broadway revival in 2015.

“You may have seen ‘Noises Off,’” said Hupp, who is slated to direct, in the release, “but you haven’t seen Syracuse Stage’s ‘Noises Off.’” From Oct. 17 to Nov. 4, “Possessing Harriet” brings viewers back to 1839 in Peterboro, New York. It follows an enslaved young woman, Harriet, who is in Syracuse with the family who owns her, as she escapes from a

hotel and makes her way to an abolitionist’s house. This will be the world premiere of “Possessing Harriet,” written by Syracuse Stage associate artistic director Kyle Bass, per the release.

“Elf the Musical” will come to Syracuse Stage for the holiday season, running from Nov. 23 to Jan. 6. The production will tell the story of Buddy the Elf from the holiday film “Elf.” Another comedy, “Native Gardens,” depicts a dispute between a semi-retired Washington bureaucrat and his wife, a defense contractor, who are neighbors with a young Chilean lawyer and his doctoral student wife. The play chronicles their dispute over their overlapping see stage page 8

contributing writer

Pop group TRYON will open for actor and musician Drake Bell on Saturday evening at The Lost Horizon. Brothers Justin and Stephen Kirk, who make up the Tennesseebased group, have been performing their entire lives.

TRYON will perform original music, including their songs “Somebody to Love Me” and “Come Kiss Me” at Saturday’s concert. General admission tickets cost $15 and can be purchased online. The performance is open

to all age groups.

The Daily Orange spoke with TRYON via email ahead of their performance.

The Daily Orange: How do you feel to be opening for Drake Bell?

TRYON: We have toured with Drake Bell before and you can always count on a good time.

Being on the road is always a blast and being able to share the stage with someone that so many people looked up to as kids is a cool experience.

concert with La Liga. Morales said deciding to collaborate with CNY Jazz for this event was easy.

“I love that this wonderful night of jazz is going to bring people together,” Morales said.

“Not only for the great music, but also for solidarity and for sisterhood and brotherhood of people that are still suffering.”

La Liga has worked to serve those displaced

by Hurricanes Irma and Maria by collecting donations of household items, fundraising and assisting people who seek housing in the Syracuse area.

Morales, who is Puerto Rican herself and has family there, visited the island in February to deliver donations. While there, she spoke with people who have still not yet received food from FEMA, and she added that some of her family is still without running water and electricity.

“These are American citizens, and no American citizen should have to go without running water or electricity,” Morales said.

“No American citizen should have to be subfrom page 7

Number of shows Syracuse Stage announced in its 2018-19 lineup

Jane Austen’s classic, “Pride and Prejudice,” will run from March 20, 2019 to April 7, 2019.

The play chronicles the romance of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. The novel was adapted by playwright Kate Hamill and will make its Syracuse Stage debut, per the press release.

jected to the minimization that this crisis has had, or the mockery of it even.”

The storm has also resulted in human crises, such as increased human trafficking and suicide rates, Morales said. In central New York, La Liga’s doors are open to traumatized individuals seeking assistance.

For Morales, these challenges inspire her to work even harder.

“I don’t like injustice, and I will have a voice and will stand up for those who are either voiceless or just haven’t found their voice,” she said.

While Morales saw a lot of tragedy during her visit to Puerto Rico, she also saw a lot of triumph.

Resilience and hope still remain on the island, and speak to the strength of those affected.

“They need the help but they don’t need it tomorrow, they needed it yesterday,” she said.

“So right now we really need to address that and do something about it.”

The concert is at CNY Jazz Central on Friday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 for general admission and $10 for students and can be purchased at the door. hrober03@syr.edu

“This is Jane Austen for the 21st century,” Hupp said in the release. “It’s fast and funny and it is altogether true to the heart of the novel. Kate Hamill’s brilliance is that she can capture everything that’s great about the novel in a way that is very theatrical and very alive.”

The 2016 Tony Award winner for Best Play, “The Humans,” will close Syracuse Stage’s season. It runs April 24, 2019 to May 12, 2019 and shows a glimpse of contemporary life through a family’s Thanksgiving dinner.

In the press release, Hupp said “The Humans” will only be produced at select theaters next season, including at Syracuse Stage.

Syracuse Stage will also host “Cold Read: A Festival of Hot New Plays” from March 7-10, 2019, which allows audiences to see the process behind productions. It will feature award-winning playwright, director and choreographer Larissa FastHorse, per the release.

Subscriptions and Flex Packs are on sale now. cbarthol@syr.edu

tryon The thing we are looking most forward to is seeing people in person that we connect with in other ways. Whether it’s social media fans, people who have seen the show before or industry relationships we have made, it’s always great to get in front of the people that you know love the music you make.

The D.O.: What are some of your goals for this tour?

TRYON: The goal for any tour is to meet as many people as possible and try and make them fans of what we do. This tour is special because we are playing more intimate settings — smaller rooms always give the opportunity to really connect with the audience.

The D.O.: Have you performed in Syracuse before?

TRYON: We have, we love the ‘Cuse. We

were lucky enough to chart our first single and Syracuse was one of the first markets to really support us. The love we get from our fans in Syracuse is unlike anywhere else. We always feel like family.

The D.O.: What inspired you to write your songs “Come Kiss Me” and “Somebody to Love Me”?

TRYON: We have always been fans of Michael Jackson and a ton of other 1980s musicians, so for “Somebody to Love Me” we started with a track that fit a vibe we were going for. The song practically wrote itself. It’s about the journey that everyone has had (of) loving someone and hoping they feel the same way.

“Come Kiss Me” is a different story. That song was written for a friend who was getting married and asked us to write them a song. I think love is one of the most inspiring things ever so to see it at that level, where they were promising themselves to each other forever, is a beautiful thing. aebyrne@syr.edu

timeouts Sometimes, timeouts are a stop-the-bleeding mechanism. Other times, they are more purposeful, such as late in tight games or at the end of the first half. Coaches, Boeheim included, often call timeouts before the half to design a last-shot play. All coaches diagram plays and demand that timeouts be run with precision, because they realize their effectiveness.

There may be no more choreographed element of a college basketball game than the timeout. Student managers react like a NASCAR pit crew to set up chairs and distribute water bottles and towels. Director of basketball operations Kip Wellman tracks a number of stats from the previous four minutes of play, and he informs Boeheim of foul trouble, game trends and opponent tendencies during the stoppage. Before games, Wellman also studies film solely on opponent in-bounds plays and relays to Boeheim whatever trends he notices.

“I never used to believe timeouts really helped that much,” Boeheim said. “But I think I’ve learned over the years, I think sometimes it does help. Coach (John) Wooden used to say whoever takes the first timeout is going to lose the game. I’m not sure that’s really true, but he was pretty smart.”

Villanova, the 2016 National Champions, has managers form a wall behind the bench to block out fans. Other teams increasingly take chairs onto the court for players while the coach kneels.

Syracuse leaves the chairs and the players on the sideline. There is no order for where they sit, junior center Paschal Chukwu said, as long as the five players in the game are seated.

A towel may hang over their shoulder and a from page 12

superlatives after losing four starters from last season’s squad. With more weapons around her next year and less pressure to be the go-to scorer, she may just be better. — Nick Alvarez

Most pleasant surprise: Miranda Drummond

For the sake of not ranting more about Mangakahia and how she lit up the ACC out of nowhere, let’s say Miranda Drummond.

After sitting out last season due to transfer rules, Drummond stepped in and provided a secondary scoring option SU would’ve been doomed without.

Finishing the season averaging 14.9 points per game, Drummond scored in a litany of ways. But she loved the 3 and shot it at a 40.2 percent clip over 31 games. The reason this is a pleasant surprise for Syracuse? Drummond averaged eight points a game in her two years at St. Bonaventure. — Andrew Graham

Biggest disappointment: Losing Desiree Elmore to injury from page 12

cornell Orange’s season remained the same: Syracuse walloped an opponent it was supposed to beat.

“These are must-wins,” SU head coach Gary Gait said. “Against the solid teams but not the top teams, you’ve got to be ready to play and you’ve got to be focused.”

The breakdown has been straightforward this season for SU. Against unranked opposition, the Orange is a perfect 5-0. Against ranked opponents, Syracuse is 1-2, with a win over then-No. 4 Florida the only result upsetting the status quo.

It’s been about goals. In its wins, the Orange has averaged 18.33. In its two losses, to thenNo. 5 Maryland and then-No. 11 Virginia, Syracuse put up an average of 13.5. SU’s offense has firepower. On Tuesday, Hawryschuk led with five, and Levy added three.

Going forward, Syracuse will need to maintain that firepower in a gauntlet of ranked opponents. Hawryschuk said that Syracuse, which entered the game with the second-best shooting percentage in the nation, “needs to make sure that the shot we do take is a shot that’s gonna go in the net.”

Hawryschuk did just that midway through the first half as she drove towards the net when the whistle blew. New rules that allow for a quick restart off of fouls have been spottily enforced by referees, and all the Cornell

bottle of water clenched in their hand.

The head manager, senior Ricky Pasternak, hands Boeheim a clipboard and a marker as Boeheim sits. The rest of the team huddles around him, giving Boeheim their fullest attention.

Timeouts mainly serve for Boeheim to dish out pointers. Assistant coaches may grab a player 15 or 20 seconds before play resumes and give them some feedback, SU associate head coach Adrian Autry said. When timeouts end, managers grab the bottles, stools and clipboard, and

they stow them away. Until the next timeout.

Late last month, Chukwu made a “bad mistake,” Boeheim said, that hurt Syracuse in an upset try against then-No. 10 North Carolina.

With 32.6 seconds left, Syracuse came out of its timeout down two points with a chance to tie or take the lead. The Orange in-bounded to junior point guard Frank Howard and Chukwu set a high ball-screen instead of the downscreen that Boeheim had called in the timeout.

“Coach drew up a play,” Chukwu said after the game, “and I thought it was a different play.”

Prior to the season, everyone involved with Syracuse couldn’t stop raving about the offseason Desiree Elmore had. After 31 games, her minutes total for the season remained zero. She was injured in the final scrimmage before the season and eventually SU shut her down to maintain a year of eligibility.

After a superb career as a Connecticut high schooler, it seemed she was ready to take the college game by storm in her sophomore year as a boost to Syracuse’s frontcourt. Instead, she was relegated to bench-hype duties. With more big-time recruits coming in next year, who knows if we’ll ever get to see the player Elmore was being projected to be heading into this season. — Billy Heyen

Mangakahia feed.

The forwards, Digna Strautmane and Amaya Finklea-Guity, couldn’t get their own shots on a consistent basis, either. Too often, SU utilized a high-screen-and-roll with Mangakahia to kickstart a possession. This led opposing teams to focus on the Orange’s lone playmaker, daring anyone else to take charge. None did. — N.A.

Biggest flaw: Lack of secondary creator off the dribble

For all the brilliance that Mangakahia flashed, it’s important to note that Syracuse relied on her more than it should’ve. Other than the Australian-born point guard, no guard showed the ability to drive and spark the offense.

Isis Young and Gabrielle Cooper, SU’s other guards, were primarily shooters. They posted up behind the 3-point line and waited for a players froze. But after a split second, Hawryschuk juked to her left and had no obstacle to an easy goal.

“Use what you do here and use the same method of preparation and same method of execution,” Gait said. “It’s just gonna be against some higher ranked teams.”

On Tuesday, Syracuse’s offense went on the run it always seems to go on in wins. Amid the five-goal flurry, Levy’s between-the-legs finish was the highlight.

When the second half opened with no goals by either team for the first 13:27, it never seemed like a breakthrough was coming for Cornell. Asa Goldstock made a few easy saves early in the second half to ensure that the Big Red didn’t gain any momentum. By the game’s final buzzer, Goldstock had 16 saves.

Most were nothing more than half-tries from tough angles that she swallowed with the pocket of her stick or deflected harmlessly high and wide.

“An opponent like Cornell, who typically plays us tough here, you gotta execute,” Gait said. “… Our defense stepped up today.”

Finally, Sam Swart broke the second-half drought with an easy goal after driving left and shrugging off her defender. The Orange added a handful more goals and its lesser opponent couldn’t produce the late game push it so badly needed.

When Hawryschuk drove straight at goal on a free-position shot and beat the goalie low,

Biggest X-factor for next season: Maeva Djaldi-Tabdi

Maeva Djaldi-Tabdi. The 6-foot-2 French forward redshirted this season but practiced with the team. From the looks we got occasionally of her working out with starting bigs Digna Strautmane and Amaya Finklea-Guity, there’s a ton of promise for a potential threeheaded frontcourt monster next year.

Djaldi-Tabdi came to SU as the No. 27 recruit in her class, ranked higher than Finklea-Guity, and she has a mature post game to go with touch from the outside.

Whenever an SU big got into foul trouble this year, the best option Quentin Hillsman had on his bench was 5-foot-8 Raven Fox. Next season, he’ll have at least one 6-foot-2 big to turn to — not to mention No. 11 recruit in this incoming

That’s exactly why Boeheim tries to keep things simple. He may call a timeout to slow down the opponent’s momentum, alter an intricacy in the 2-3 zone, draw up a specific play or give his thin lineup rest without substituting. Boeheim has also called timeouts this season to “ice” an opponent’s free-throw shooter near the end of the game and to implement a full-court press. But regardless of the situation, the message is to the point.

“Wherever there’s space, that’s where we go,” Chukwu said. “It gets crowded. It’s all about Boeheim, he tells you what you did wrong, how you can correct it. Players can voice out what they see. It’s all about having a conversation.”

In 2015, the NCAA reduced the number of timeouts from five to four, with no more than three being carried into the second half.

There’s a stricter enforcement of resumption of play coming out of all timeouts, and team timeouts with 30 seconds of media timeouts become the scheduled media timeout.

Timeouts don’t always come easy. Coaches are required to give referees a visual signal that is usually a “T” sign formed by placing the palm of one hand over the upright fingers of the other left hand. Oral signals are “time” or “timeout.”

But in loud, fast-paced games, officials don’t always blow the whistle right away. Boeheim occasionally will walk 10 or 15 feet toward an official, making a “T” with his hands, begging for the thing he once hesitated to call.

“I’m sitting there for at least two minutes, not saying anything, because they’re going to get about 30 seconds worth that they’re going to remember,” Boeheim said. “So the other two and a half minutes is just looking around. So they get that rest. That’s very helpful.” mguti100@syr.edu | @Matthewgut21

Quentin Hillsman does not exactly keep his cards close to the chest. Syracuse will run out and press and shoot a lot of 3s, all in the name of trying to speed up an opponent.

Hillsman preached the scheme from Media Day to his final press conference after Syracuse’s season-ending loss, and the Orange did it all year — SU finished its season with 965 attempted 3s, currently fifth in the country.

And for the most part, Hillsman’s style of play worked. SU went 22-9, and assistants Tammi Reiss, Adeniyi Amadou and Vonn Read all did their parts to turn a mish-mash of transfers and freshmen into a pretty good basketball team.

But in Syracuse’s two biggest games of the season, it got embarrassed and outcoached.

And if SU is trying to win a national championship next year like Hillsman said, blowouts at the end of the season simply do not cut it. — A.G. sports@dailyorange.com

Cornell didn’t have an answer. When Neena Merola dished to Mary Rahal for an easy finish in front, Cornell didn’t have an answer.

Three more Syracuse goals followed, capped by a Nicole Levy snipe into the top of the net, before the Big Red answered.

“Once the momentum shifts by that much, we get the confidence and the swagger to just finish the game,” Levy said.

The Orange allowed two goals in the second

half, none until fewer than five minutes remained and Goldstock had been pulled from the game.

Hannah Van Middelem, Goldstock’s backup, made the final save of the game with about 30 seconds left. Syracuse cleared the ball up the field. Then the Orange just waited for the buzzer to sound and the result to be final.

From very early on in the game, it had never been in doubt. wmheyen@syr.edu | @wheyen3

JIM BOEHEIM always sits during timeouts with his team surrounding him. Over the years, Boeheim has learned that placement of timeouts, and keeping them succinct, is key to winning games at the Division I level.

Timing is everything As timeouts lengthen, Jim Boeheim has learned to keep it brief

By Matthew Gutierrez senior staff writer

ETROIT — For Syracuse 42nd-year head coach Jim Boeheim, timeouts seem to be getting longer and longer. But he’s keeping his words to a minimum.

“I think if they get one thing that you say, you had a good timeout,” Boeheim said on Saturday afternoon. “There’s many times that we put one thing in and we’re coming out of the huddle and I see one guy going, ‘What play are we running?’ If you take a timeout, you’re just trying to sit them down and get them on track.”

Across college basketball, timeouts are a precious commodity. Each team has only four per regulation, in addition to the four media timeouts per half. In the spotlight of the NCAA Tournament, how teams utilize the precious minutes between game action helps dictate who goes home and who dances on.

On Friday night, the 11th-seeded Orange (23-13, 8-10 Atlantic Coast) face No. 2 seed Duke (28-7, 13-5) in Omaha, Nebraska, in the Sweet Sixteen. The two winningest coaches in Division I men’s hoops, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Syracuse’s Boeheim, will go head to head. And the coach who better spends his timeouts may very will come out on top.

Superlatives: MVP, biggest flaw No. 9 SU dominates inferior Cornell, 14-7

By The Daily Orange Sports Staff

MVP: Tiana Mangakahia

It’s obvious who Syracuse’s MVP was in the 2017-18 season: Tiana Mangakahia. She powered the Orange’s offense and set records while doing so. The point guard almost averaged a double-double per game (17.5 points and 9.8 assists, respectively), which is more impressive when you consider she didn’t play high-level basketball for two years.

She earned praise from nearly every opposing coach and was the main reason that the Orange returned to the NCAA Tournament see superlatives page 11

ITHACA, N.Y. — Syracuse’s Emily Hawryschuk spotted Nicole Levy in front of the Cornell goal in the first half. SU had scored the last four goals of the contest to take a four-goal lead.

Levy was handcuffed on the catch, though, with her back to the goal. It would take something special to score the fifth-straight with her eyes facing midfield.

But that was no problem for Levy.

There was no need for a spin to try and square herself up to goal. Just an angle open low, between her own

legs. She finished underhand past Cornell goalie Katie McGahan. Even the difficult seemed easy for SU against an unranked opponent, as has been the case all season.

“I’m to the point where I don’t really think about it, sometimes it just happens,” Levy said of the goal.

No. 9 Syracuse (6-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) faced little resistance at Schoellkopf Field and rolled by Cornell (4-3, 1-1 Ivy), 14-7, on Tuesday.

The game was knotted at 3-apiece before SU rattled off five-straight, hit cruise control and never looked back. The story of most of the see cornell page 11
