Cameron Isaac, the north Syracuse man convicted of murdering Syracuse University student Xiaopeng “Pippen” Yuan, will be sentenced to prison Wednesday morning.

Ninimbe Mitchell, Isaac’s nephew, will also be sentenced Wednesday morning for a first-degree robbery conviction in connection to the murder.

The two men are scheduled to appear in front of State Supreme Court Justice John Brunetti about 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Isaac was convicted of first-degree murder following a jury trial last month. Mitchell was found guilty in the same trial of robbery, but acquitted of a second-degree murder charge.

Prosecutors alleged that Isaac killed Yuan as he robbed him of 2 pounds of marijuana in September of last year. Mitchell, who drove Isaac to and from the scene of the crime, was charged with second-degree murder and first-degree robbery.

Isaac faces up to life in prison without parole for his first-degree murder conviction, while Mitchell faces between five and 25 years in prison for the robbery conviction.

Here is a look back at the timeline of events leading up to the Wednesday sentencings:

August 2016: Communication between Isaac and Yuan begins

After receiving Yuan’s cell phone number from a mutual friend, Isaac texted the SU student to say that he wanted to buy an eighth of marijuana. They arranged to meet at a pizza shop near Le Moyne College, where they completed the drug deal.

In the days following that deal, Isaac told Yuan he wanted to buy 2 pounds of marijuana. At the same see murder

SU officials hold 1st Invest Syracuse forum

By Kennedy Rose asst. news editor

Syracuse University officials at a public forum on Tuesday provided few new details on Invest Syracuse, a five-year fundraising initiative that aims to raise $100 million to fund academic programs.

Invest Syracuse is a “funding vehicle for the existing Academic Strategic Plan and unit plans in schools and colleges,” SU Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly said at the forum.

The Academic Strategic Plan

is one section of Chancellor Kent Syverud’s flagship Fast Forward Syracuse initiative, which outlines broad long-term goals for the university.

Amir Rahnamay-Azar, senior vice president and chief financial officer, Dolan Evanovich, senior vice president for enrollment and the student experience, and Matt Ter Molen, senior vice president and chief advancement officer, also spoke at the forum.

A mix of about 75 students and faculty members attended the event, asking a range of questions about Invest Syracuse fundrais-

ing goals. The forum was hosted in Goldstein Auditorium at Schine Student Center.

Cathryn Newton, special adviser to the Chancellor and Provost for Faculty Engagement moderated the event. She is also dean emerita of the College of Arts and Sciences and a professor of earth sciences and interdisciplinary sciences.

There will be two other Invest Syracuse forums on Sept. 20 and Oct. 3. Newton said the forums were open to public question and comment and urged members of the SU community to attend.

Wheatly called the initiative a “shared vision” between students, faculty, staff and administration.

There are three components to the funding plan for Invest Syracuse, Rahnamay-Azar said, including a tuition hike that will start next year for SU first-year and transfer students.

A $3,300 Invest Syracuse tuition premium will be added to first-year and transfer student tuition next year.

Reducing administrative spending requires the university find “efficiencies” within its see invest

syracuse mayoral race 2017

Candidates present platforms

by Jordan Muller asst. news editor

The six remaining candidates in the 2017 Syracuse mayoral race gathered Tuesday night to discuss their platforms at a public forum on Syracuse’s North Side.

About 80 people packed the basement of Westminster Presbyterian Church to hear the candidates’ positions on topics including city rezoning, police services, the SyracuseOnondaga County merger proposal and housing.

Juanita Perez Williams, Joe Nicoletti and Marty Masterpole are the three remaining Democratic candidates.

Ben Walsh is the Upstate Jobs Party candidate, Howie Hawkins is the Green Party candidate and Laura Lavine is both the Republican and Independence Party candidate.

Here are some takeaways from the forum:

Laura Lavine

Lavine, a former LaFayette School District superintendent, said she would seek mayoral control over the Syracuse City School District.

Under her plan, Lavine would select the city’s school board with the advice and consent of the Syracuse Common Council. Currently, there are seven school board members.

Every two years, three or four school board members go up for election.

Lavine said the school board cannot do consistent work if board members are up for election every two years.

“Mayoral control sends the message to the city that schools are of paramount importance and that I as mayor will ultimately be accountable to the community” Lavine said.

Lavine also said she does not support the proposed city-county merger that would combine the City of Syracuse and Onondaga County governments.

Juanita Perez Williams

The Democratic candidate spent most of her allotted time describing her plans to tackle issues related to vacant housing.

“We need to focus on the 1,800 blighted houses on the South Side of the city that sit and contribute to horrendous things in communities,” Perez Williams said. Houses left vacant in the city are an “eyesore” that cause crime and lower property values, she said.

Perez Williams said her administration would focus on code enforcement and property owners would held accountable for properties that are not maintained.

Perez Williams also said she see mayoral

Syverud responds to Trump’s end to DACA

By Sam Ogozalek asst. news editor

Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud on Tuesday said SU remains committed to protecting undocumented students, shortly after United States Attorney General Jeff Session announced an end to the Obama-era DACA program.

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program aimed to protect undocumented children who were brought into the U.S. as minors. Rescinding DACA was one of President Donald Trump’s major campaign promises.

“Many members of our campus community have been working

tirelessly, in the event of today’s announcement, to provide support, response and action to those affected by changing immigration laws,” said Syverud in an email to the campus community.

DACA beneficiaries currently in the U.S. will not be affected by the program’s end over the next six months, the Department of Homeland Security announced on Tuesday.

In the email, Syverud praised SU’s Ad Hoc Committee on DACA/ Undocumented Students for its short-term recommendations on how SU can support students affected by DACA. Congress now has six months to decide whether

some DACA protections should be extended past March 2018.

Multiple high-ranking university officials serve on the ad hoc committee, which was formed in February. SU community members last year called on Syverud to protect undocumented students during Trump’s presidency. Margaret Himley, associate provost for international education and engagement, is one committee member.

SU recently adopted new “pathway to degree” protocols to help students affected by Trump’s changes to immigration policy. The protocols aim to assist students who might be refused re-entry to the U.S. or deported while still

studying at the university.

The committee in June also recommended the university establish a scholarship for DACA and undocumented students, among other things.

Syverud said students worried about DACA should contact Jennifer Gavilondo, associate general counsel for international services.

Counseling services will be open to students, the chancellor added.

“We will remain steadfast in our commitment to welcome people from all over the world as members of our campus community,” Syverud said. sfogozal@syr.edu @Sam13783

Seneca Nation group combats opioid epidemic

By Madeleine Davison staff writer

There is no racial, ethnic or socioeconomic group that has remained unscathed in the opioid epidemic, but the Native American population has been especially hard-hit.

According to a 2014 study by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Native American or indigenous people accounted for 0.9 percent of New York state substance abuse treatment admissions for prescription painkillers and around 0.5 percent for heroin, despite making up 0.4 percent of the state’s population.

“I suspect that the problem is hitting us a lot harder,” said Dawn Colburn, acting director of Seneca Strong, a substance abuse outreach and support program for members of the Seneca Nation of Indians in western New York. “(Two years

ago,) we had five funerals in one week. ... I’d never seen our community hit like that. Five funerals in one week.”

The opioid epidemic has claimed the lives of 2,185 New York residents in 2015 alone.

In 2014, Native Americans nationwide experienced the highest death rate from prescription opioid overdoses out of any racial or ethnic group, and the second-highest death rate from heroin overdoses — behind only non-Hispanic whites — according to PBS Frontline.

Between 1999 and 2013, the death rate from opioid overdose among Native Americans increased almost fourfold, according to the Indian Health Service, which administers federal health care to indigenous populations in the U.S. Some experts believe one of the factors behind relatively high rates of substance abuse among Native

Americans is intergenerational or historical trauma.

Historical trauma is defined as “cumulative emotional and psychological wounding over the lifespan and across generations, emanating from massive group trauma experiences,” according to a study by Maria Yellow Horse Brave Heart, a research associate professor in the University of New Mexico School of Medicine.

“When you look back to the boarding schools, and the removal and relocation era, we lost so much of our culture, we lost so much of our beliefs and identity and the cultural ways that we used to heal ourselves,” Colburn said.

“I think (opioids are) just an easy out when you’re dealing with that much pain and trauma,” she added.

Anthony Dekker, a pain management and addiction specialist who has worked for the IHS, said another reason for the higher rates

of opioid addiction among Native people may be because they are more likely than other groups to need pain medicine.

“Many (Native Americans) … work in occupations that are higherrisk for injuries, so musculoskeletal injuries are more common in the American Indian population,” said Dekker, who noted he is not Native American, nor a spokesperson for any Native American nation.

Native American communities and organizations across the country have been taking steps to combat opioid addiction.

The White Earth Nation in Minnesota trained more than 100 tribal employees to treat overdoses, which saved at least 16 lives between October 2015 and October 2016.

Syracuse University announced in a news release Tuesday that two SU alumni donated $5.25 million toward undergraduate financial aid.

The money from Dan and Kathy Mezzalingua, Class of 1960 and 1962 respectively, is going toward Opportunity Syracuse — Invest Syracuse’s fundraising effort.

“The couple is excited by the work being done by Chancellor Kent Syverud and his leadership team to provide new possibilities for students through Invest Syracuse and advance the university’s academic excellence,” according to the release.

Dan Mezzalingua was a member on the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, the Society of Fellows and the chancellor’s council in the past. He was also on the advisory council for the Whitman School of Management and served as the lead trustee for the Schine Student Center Campaign. see donation page 6

CUOMO SEES APPROVAL RATE BOUNCING BACK

Fifty-six percent of New York registered voters support and 37 percent disapprove of New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo, according to a poll from the Siena College Research Institute.

This is a slight increase from a poll conducted in July, in which 52 percent of them gave the thumbs-up whereas 41 percent gave the thumbs-down. The decrease in the approval rating overlapped with a “summer of hell” for New York City commuters who saw subway lines constantly delayed.

murder trial time, Isaac was telling a friend that he planned to rob Yuan of that marijuana, prosecutors said.

Meanwhile, Yuan arranged to buy 4 pounds of marijuana from another SU student who frequently purchased several pounds of the drug at a time. Yuan was planning to sell 2 pounds of that marijuana to Isaac.

Sept. 30, 2016: Isaac murders Yuan

On the morning of Sept. 30, Yuan received the 4 pounds of marijuana from the other SU student. He then arranged to meet Isaac that morning to sell him 2 pounds.

Early that afternoon, Mitchell drove Isaac to the Springfield Garden Apartments complex in DeWitt, where Yuan and Isaac planned to meet. When Isaac arrived at the complex, he robbed Yuan of the marijuana and ran through the complex toward a spot where Mitchell was waiting in the car, according to authorities.

Yuan chased after Isaac and, as he did, Isaac shot him twice, according to authorities. The fatal shot entered Yuan’s side and traversed his chest, killing him almost instantly.

When prosecutors arrived at the scene, they found Yuan’s body face-down in a grassy area of the complex, soaked in blood. They also found his Chevrolet Camaro in a parking lot at the complex, with the engine idling and the door open. Inside the car, they discovered Yuan’s cellphone, which they would eventufrom page 3

seneca nation the state, serving 850 people each year.

The Indian Health Council in California set up a pill take-back program to help people get rid of excess prescription painkillers, according to the National Congress of American Indians’ Policy Research Center.

In New York, the Seneca Strong program aims to help rehabilitate people with drug addictions by reaching out to them through peers, fellow Seneca Nation members who have experienced addiction and are in recovery, Colburn said.

Mitchell was unaware of any plans for Isaac to rob Yuan when he agreed to drive him to the scene.

The trial of Isaac and Mitchell began at the criminal courthouse in downtown Syracuse.

Brunetti oversaw the trial. Two men and 10 women were selected to serve on the jury.

Fitzpatrick, the district attorney, tried

the case alongside assistant district attorney Michael Kasmarek. Syracuse-based defense attorneys William Sullivan and Paul Carey represented Isaac and Mitchell, respectively.

During the trial, the prosecution called several witnesses in an attempt to prove Isaac and Mitchell’s guilt, most notably a cellphonemapping expert, the lead detective in the case and a firearms examiner.

The cellphone-mapping expert, Rafal Dobrowolski, used Google Maps to show the jury that the phones belonging to Isaac and Mitchell traveled from North Syracuse to the Springfield Garden Apartments complex in the hour leading up to Yuan’s death. In the minutes after his death, the analysis showed the phones moving back toward North Syracuse.

The lead detective in the case, Laura Collins, analyzed a series of text messages sent by Isaac to Yuan and friends, testifying that he coordinated to rob Yuan of the marijuana.

Matthew Kurimsky, a firearms examiner, testified that the bullet that killed Yuan was unusually similar to bullets that authorities recovered from Isaac’s apartment when they searched it in November.

Sullivan, Isaac’s attorney, argued that Isaac simply bought the marijuana from Yuan and that someone else killed Yuan. He said Yuan had a thriving business as a marijuana dealer, and as a result, developed business rivals and enemies who may have had motive to kill him.

Carey, Mitchell’s attorney, argued that

“I think the peer model is amazing,” Colburn said. “It removes the power differential between a therapist and a client … There’s no, ‘I’m better than you, or I have this degree, or that degree.’ It’s more, ‘I’ve lived the same thing that you’re living, I have life experience that I’m willing to share with you,’ and it takes all the judgement out.”

Colburn said Seneca Strong has reached out to 300 people in the Seneca Nation territories in the past year. Of those people, 109 entered in-patient treatment.

Seneca Strong also offers ongoing support for people who have left inpatient treatment.

Physical activities, 12-step programs and cul-

tural healing methods such as sweat lodges and talking circles are offered for people in recovery.

“I think the more we add the culture into (the recovery process), the better we do,” Colburn said.

The Seneca Nation has neither its own inpatient facility for addiction treatment nor adequate recovery housing for people who are returning from detox programs, Colburn said, largely due to limited funding.

She said this can be a challenge for some Seneca Nation members who do not feel comfortable leaving the Nation’s territories to seek treatment elsewhere.

Colburn and her colleagues have applied for several grants to establish new facilities, such as a drug court that would allow Seneca Strong to connect people who come to them through law enforcement with recovery services.

Furthermore, the Nation itself has a building that could be renovated to make space for recovery housing on the Nation’s territory.

“Down the road further, the tribe has looked at having our own inpatient rehab facility on territory where we can integrate more of the cultural stuff,” Colburn said. “That would be awesome.”

Nov. 18, 2016: Prosecutor announces Isaac, Mitchell arrests

Mitchell and Isaac were arrested and charged with second-degree murder, first-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick announced.

Isaac and Mitchell were each arraigned in the Town of Dewitt Court and held in the Onondaga County Justice Center without bail.

In a subsequent statement to the SU community, Dean of Student Affairs Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz and Department of Public Safety Chief Bobby Maldonado called the arrests of Isaac and Mitchell the “first step toward justice for Xiaopeng.”

January 2017: Grand jury indicts Isaac, Mitchell

Isaac and Mitchell were each indicted on their charges by a grand jury. Isaac’s second-degree murder charge was also upgraded to firstdegree murder.

Isaac and Mitchell each pleaded not guilty, essentially guaranteeing the case would go to trial.

Aug. 7, 2017: Trial begins

Aug. 15, 2017: Isaac convicted

After deliberating for a few hours, jurors found Isaac guilty of first-degree murder. Isaac bowed his head as the jury announced his guilty verdict and nodded to family members as he exited the courtroom.

Aug. 16, 2017: Mitchell convicted of robbery; acquitted of murder

After more than a full day of deliberations, jurors found Mitchell not guilty of second-degree murder but guilty of first-degree robbery.

Brunetti, the judge, briefly dismissed jurors after the verdict was announced before determining whether to accept their verdict. Carey then told Brunetti he felt it was “repugnant” that jurors found Mitchell guilty of the firstdegree robbery charge despite finding him not guilty of murder.

Mitchell received the murder charge because prosecutors alleged that he participated willingly in a robbery that turned deadly. Carey said he believed the verdict thus contradicted itself and hinted that he would appeal the robbery conviction. Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick told Brunetti he found the verdict acceptable.

Brunetti told Carey that he disagreed with him and that jurors had the right to render the verdicts that they did. mdburk01@syr.edu | @michaelburke47

Green energy can restart NY’s economy

I

n the wake of President Donald Trump’s announcement that the United States would leave the Paris climate agreement, and the subsequent outrage from politicians, thought leaders and civilians, it might be easy to assume climate change would stay in the front seat and dominate conversations about politics.

The denouncement of Trump was short-lived, though, as other newsworthy events took priority in the media and discussions shifted to other political topics.

But climate change isn’t stopping for anyone, and the harsh reality is that it won’t slow down unless we start prioritizing it.

Under the Trump administration, the future of federal support for renewable energy is uncertain.

It’s now up to individual states to enact policies that support renewable energy businesses, and it’s up to those businesses to take action against climate change without being forced to by law.

Luckily, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is recognizing renewable energy’s potential. In response to Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, Cuomo announced the Clean Climate Careers Initiative, which aims to accelerate the growth of renewable energy across the state. The goal of the initiative is to create 40,000 clean energy jobs by 2020 and make the state more attractive to renewable energy businesses.

Aside from making a positive environmental impact, renewable energy can have significant economic benefits. New York’s economy could use this initiative to jumpstart its recovery. For the last 30 to 40 years, manufacturing jobs have been slowly trickling out of the state, contributing to the economic downturn in upstate New York.

The state has already begun to establish organizations and partnerships essential to incubating renewable energy ventures. Efforts really took off in 2015, when Cuomo released the detailed Energy Plan, which outlines the state’s roadmap to a clean energy economy. The plan is an actionable manifestation of the governor’s Reforming the Energy Vision, a strategic framework for promoting clean energy development throughout the state.

Simply working to achieve these goals will yield much-needed economic gains for the state.

Reaching full efficiency potential would generate a net benefit of $30 billion over a 20-year period, according to a study from the New York State Energy and Research Authority.

IT’S NOT JUST BUSINESS But to make this happen, New York can’t work alone, said Paul DeMichele, a representative from the New York Power Authority.

“Collaboration between the public and private sector is critical to the success of New York’s renewable energy initiatives,” DeMichele said in an email. “Secondly, private sector development of renewable energy facilities will continue to increase as New York advances towards the 50 percent by 2030 Clean Energy Standard goal.”

re-energized Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Reforming the Energy Vision has three goals: 1. 40 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels 2. 50 percent of electricity generated must come from renewable energy sources 3. 23 percent decrease in energy consumption in buildings from 2012 levels

The state has limited resources dedicated to renewable energy initiatives, so leaders must decide carefully which projects to pursue. New York already has several major hydroelectric facilities that provide the majority of its current renewable energy, but there’s room to focus on solar and wind power.

New York still has a long way to go to achieve its full solar power potential. After adding another 293 megawatts of solar power in 2016, the state has a solar capacity of 1000 MW just waiting to be used, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.

The amount of energy generated by solar power is also expected to grow to about 3,000 MW over the next five years, per the association’s website. Cuomo has pledged to invest $1 billion into solar energy over the next 10 years, and there has been about $3.25 billion invested in total as of 2016.

The state has also launched the NY-Sun Initiative which aims to create a sustainable and affordable solar industry by supporting residential and commercial solar projects.

Surprisingly, solar energy generates less than 1 percent of the state’s electricity, meaning there is plenty of room for growth and job creation in the solar industry. Elon Asst. Photo Editor Asst.

Musk’s SolarCity has committed to creating 5,000 jobs across the state, according to WIVB 4. Many of those jobs may come from a massive solar panel gigafactory in Buffalo that is expected to begin operations by the end of December.

There are about 8,000 solar jobs in New York state, but that number will continue to grow as the state continues to build partnerships with companies like SolarCity.

Wind power has a bigger presence in New York than solar power.

In 2016, wind power accounted for about 12 percent of renewable energy generated, according to a report from the New York Independent System Operator, a not-for-profit corporation that operates the state’s bulk electricity grid.

There are also projects in the works that could provide another 4,800 MW of wind power. Long Island will soon be home to the country’s largest offshore wind power project backed by substantial private investments.

The Long Island Power Authority has partnered with Deepwater Wind LLC to make it happen. Deepwater will be investing nearly $1 billion in the project through loan and equity financing, according to The New York Times. If successful, this partnership could pave the road for future large scale projects and incentivize other companies to follow.

Establishing a regulatory framework that encourages businesses to expand into renewable energy is key in turning New York into a clean energy leader.

1 One megawatt of solar power can power 164 homes solar energy industries association

“Once renewable generation reaches cost parity with fossil fuel based generation, the private sector will continue developing renewable resources without state incentives,” DeMichele said.

If New York wants to achieve its energy vision, it must continue to tap into resources in the private sector. Private companies are the main drivers of innovative technology and business models that will bring renewable energy’s potential to life.

Without them, Cuomo’s Reforming the Energy Vision will remain just that — a vision.

Syverud’s political emails address human problems Chancellor Kent Syverud’s campuswide emails have rightfully taken a turn for the political in recent months amid federal policy changes that affect the lives of students.

Syverud has sent emails directly responding to several of President Donald Trump’s executive orders: the travel ban on immigrants from Muslim-majority countries, the transgender military ban and, on Tuesday, the announcement to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. DACA protects young undocumented immigrants from deportation, including some students at SU. While Syverud’s denouncements of Trump’s actions may be mistaken as an outlet for his personal beliefs, it’s important to remember these statements are indicative of Syverud’s willingness to localize and humanize these issues to support SU students who are affected by the policies.

As the ultimate leader of the university, Syverud should be expected to respond to political matters that affect members of the SU community. Syverud’s Tuesday email went beyond comforting students with words. He provided concrete examples of what SU is doing to protect students affected by recent changes in U.S. immigration law, including the opportunity for a path to degree completion.

bombshell today, they — and other concerned college students — likely looked to authority figures for some sort of guidance. Syverud’s quick response was essential to providing DACA recipients with as much reassurance as he could.

Syverud can’t ignore that marginalized students are facing constant shakeups under the Trump administration, and his timely email responses can help keep students calm throughout the uncertainty.

Since Trump’s election — and even before — the SU campus has been host to protests that advocated for greater diversity and the sanctuary campus movement.

And it’s no secret the university community tends to lean liberals.

When Syverud didn’t immediately denounce the travel ban in January, he was faced with 268 signatures on a petition urging him to do so.

But that doesn’t mean Syverud is getting political by making sure these issues are being discussed campus-wide. It means he’s putting the student population first.

Tutoring program to expand from Bird Library to Flint Hall

By Neha Tandon

contributing writer

Syracuse University’s Center for Learning and Student Success this semester is expanding services to a residence hall and will offer group tutoring for more courses.

Flint Hall will host tutoring as an extension of CLASS, which primarily is located on the third floor of Bird Library.

Students were eager to participate in tutoring on Sundays, during evenings and inside residence halls, said Margaret Usdansky, director of CLASS, in an email.

The center decided to also offer tutoring in Flint Hall, Usdansky said, and the program will launch in stages during the next few weeks.

The center’s programming in Bird Library was piloted in January 2017 and this semester is expanding to offer 10 courses, up from the four courses offered last spring.

CLASS offers tutoring in courses that have traditionally proven challenging for students.

This semester, group tutoring will be offered in: l Astronomy 101 – Our Corner of the Uni verse l Biology 327 – Cell Biology l Chemistry 106 – General Chemistry I l Chemistry 275 – Organic Chemistry 1 l Earth Science 110 – Dynamic Earth l Economics 203 – Economic Ideas and

Issues l Math 221 – Elementary Probability and

Statistics I l Math 295 – Calculus 1 l Physics 211 – General Physics 1 l Psychology 205 – Foundation of Human

Behavior Usdansky said she received input from students and faculty in meetings and focus groups last year to offer university-sponsored tutoring for challenging introductory courses.

The center more than doubled the

amount of classes offered in the last academic year.

CLASS is a product of the union of the former Tutoring and Study Center, along with the Academic Integrity Office, Usdanksy said. Therefore, it has the ability to work with several departments and offices on campus to promote student academic success, she added.

Usdanksy said CLASS’s services are changing in that students are being trained to become independent learners. This semester, students will learn researchbased study strategies to learn more effectively on their own.

A new training program also has been developed for tutors. This program enables them to teach effective tutoring sessions that will use research-based study strategies.

Tutors are handpicked by SU faculty.

“We’ve partnered with faculty to recruit highly talented SU graduate and undergraduate students with strong knowledge of the

course material,” Usdansky said.

In addition to tutoring, CLASS offers academic integrity education and case administration. The center partners and collaborates with academic departments and offices across campus to promote academic success.

Usdansky worked with a team that included David Seaman, dean of the university libraries. Members of the library staff helped with new space, signage and furniture.

Currently, Usdanksy said the center wants SU students, parents, faculty and staff to know about CLASS and its services.

This team effort includes the participation of students, she added.

“Tutoring isn’t a magic bullet. To be successful, students need to attend class, participate actively and seek the help they need from faculty and teaching assistants as well as from academic departments and offices, including CLASS,” Usdansky said. ntandon@syr.edu

invest syracuse administrative structure and redirecting those funds to the academic and student experience, Rahnamay-Azar said.

Finding efficiencies is determining if a task needs to occur anymore, and if it does need to occur, finding how it can be done more efficiently, Rahnamay-Azar said.

Rahnamay-Azar was appointed SU’s senior vice president and chief financial officer in January.

“I’ve been at many universities where they take a strategic planning effort and it goes nowhere. Because, unless you fund it and find ways to progress it and advance it, it’s just a plan. So this is exciting to be here at this time at the university,” Rahnamay-Azar said.

Fundraising efforts by the university are “tripartite,” Evanovich said. The largest component of the funding will come from fundraising through “an intensive philanthropic campaign,” he said.

SU’s fundraising efforts will target corporations, foundations, alumni, parents and others interested in donating to the university, Molen said. Donations from corporations would most likely go toward specific research projects, so support for financial aid and scholarships would be minimal, he said.

The Class of 2022, freshmen next year, would pay more than $13,000 in premium costs if it takes them four years to graduate, due to the new $3,300 Invest Syracuse premium.

Students enrolled at SU this year will be grandfathered in and will not pay the extra money. Tuition for the 2018-19 academic year will be $50,230 for first-year and transfer students, if including a separate 3.9 percent tuition hike that still needs Board of Trustees approval. Tuition was $46,930 this academic year.

Room and board rates will remain flat for the incoming class of fall 2017, RahnamayAzar said.

Wheatly said SU wants to expand opportunities for students across the socio-economic spectrum. Molen also said the university plans from page 1

mayoral forum would not support city-county consolidation.

Joe Nicoletti

Nicoletti said the SPD will need to fill the vacancies in staffing. He would rather see the police department expand to “reflect the diversity” of the Syracuse community than pay officers for overtime, he said.

On the city-county merger, Nicoletti said he is opposed to the plan.

Nicoletti would support help from the county on revitalizing parks and streets but said that the city should retain ultimate control.

Ben Walsh

Walsh, an independent, said he supports increased police hiring to fill vacancies in the police department. Putting more police officers into the city will help build relationships with the community, he said.

In addition to increasing police numbers,

Five Syracuse University officials gathered for the first Invest Syracuse public forum Tuesday afternoon. They discussed funding strategy and detailed some future plans for the initiative.

to launch a “mini campaign” called “Opportunity Syracuse,” a $40 million initiative to raise funds for student scholarships.

The Opportunity Syracuse money will be raised over the current and next fiscal years — 2018 and 2019 — for financial aid. Fundraising has already begun, with $5.25 million gifted by alumni Dan and Kathy Mezzalingua on Tuesday and $500,000 a year donated by Steve Barnes, chairman of SU’s Board of Trustees, and his wife Deborah.

SU plans to hire 100 new faculty, along with additional support staff for the faculty, as part of Invest Syracuse.

The hiring will not only include faculty in STEM fields, but will encompass a broad range of disciplines, Wheatly said.

Jamie Winders, chair of the department of geography in the Maxwell School of CitiWalsh said he supports installing security cameras in city neighborhoods to help reduce crime.

“We need to put more cameras where they are needed and where they are wanted,” Walsh said.

Walsh also said he would propose creating a “quality of life commission” that would engage the community, department heads and elected officials to focus on topics such as beautification and litter in the city.

Marty Masterpole

Like many of the other candidates, Masterpole supported filling SPD vacancies. Filling vacancies, Masterpole said, would give the police chief the ability to run a good department.

Masterpole also said he supported the Greater Syracuse Land Bank.

During the forum, candidates were allowed to yield time to answer audience questions if they wanted. Masterpole was the first candidate to take questions from the audience. One attendee asked Masterpole about his relation-

zenship and Public Affairs, asked if the new hires would be on tenure-track lines, versus research or strictly teaching positions.

Teaching professors are responsible almost exclusively for teaching, and research professors assume research roles and often bring in their own funding, Winders said.

Many faculty members pursue tenuretrack lines like her, she said. Tenure tracks are defined as an employment structure where the employee is guaranteed a consideration for eventual tenure.

Wheatly said most of the newly hired faculty will be on tenure-track lines, but the line shares would be faculty focused on scholarship and creativity.

A powerpoint slide presented by Evanovich detailed goals and priorities of enhancing the student experience at SU, including: ship with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York Legislature.

Masterpole said his relationship with Cuomo and the Legislature is “neutral.” But as mayor, he said he wants to have a good relationship with the governor.

Howie Hawkins

Hawkins said a community hiring hall — where people could come and sign up for employment — would help increase employment in the city.

Hawkins said the SPD has failed to diversify and that a new police chief should be selected from outside the city.

A police chief from outside the city would help the police force become more diverse and manage overtime issues, Hawkins said.

To reduce crime, he said the city should invest in reducing poverty.

Hawkins also said he is opposed to the city-county merger proposal. jmulle01@syr.edu | @jordanmuller18

Former prosecutor talks YouTube’s effect on Syria crisis

By Olivia Cole

contributing writer

In an attempt to rid extremist propaganda from its website, the Google-owned platform YouTube has removed thousands of videos documenting human atrocities occurring in the Middle East, according to CNN. This past June, YouTube announced the transfer from workers monitoring its content to an advanced algorithm that identifies videos containing violent extremism and terrorism.

The new technology has inadvertently deleted thousands of videos. Any content stemming from Syria, or various other conflict zones, are at a high risk of being deleted, according to The New York Times.

The Daily Orange spoke with David Crane, professor of practice at the Syracuse University College of Law, to discuss the implications of deleting such videos. Crane is a former chief prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone and founder of the Syrian Accountability Project.

The Daily Orange: To start off, can you talk about what kind of human atrocities are occurring in places like Syria?

David Crane: The conflict in Syria has been going on since March of 2011. It has consumed the lives of over half a million human beings, it has moved out of the country over 10 million human beings and it amounts to many international crimes — what we would call war crimes — and crimes against humanity being perpetrated by all sides.

The D.O.: What role do social media platforms, like YouTube, have in modern warfare?

D.C.: Well, it’s interesting. It’s a fascinating scenario. When I was the chief prosecutor of the International War Crimes Tribunal in West Africa, we went and found the information out the old-fashioned way.

There was no such thing — even as late as 2005 — as social media.

All of these social media outlets have really affected the investigation of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide throughout the world in both a positive and a negative way. YouTube is just one of the social media (platforms) that collects, records and puts out on social media information related to war crimes … It’s a new challenge for international prosecutors like myself, as what to do with all of this information. Most of which is not useable in the court of law. So, that’s in a general sense my point.

The D.O.: Recently, YouTube changed its policy from workers manually taking down videos to an advanced algorithm that does it for them. This occurred in June, and since then thousands of videos documenting humanitarian crises have been deleted. What do you think are the immediate implications of removing such videos?

D.C.: What ends up happening is, instead of the consumer deciding whether to look at (the video) or not, we now have an arbitrary decision made by an algorithm that keeps it from the consumer, whether that be someone just interested in Syria, an investigator or a nongovernmental organization using that information for consideration for action.

The arbitrariness of it bothers me. I think it should be left to the consumer and the user of the data versus an algorithm. What ends up happening is that we don’t know what we don’t know.

Someone takes a video of an atrocity taking place in northern Iraq, Kurdistan or something in South Sudan or in Syria … a lot of times YouTube is very useful. You may hear of an incident and go on YouTube and actually see the incident itself, which confirms just in a general way that the incident took place. But, you know, sometimes we don’t even know if something took place now.

The D.O.: One way that YouTube has dealt

with the backlash of removing videos is by reinstating them but with an 18-year-old age restriction. Do you think that this suffices?

Or, do you think that there are negative implications of creating this image of an “adultonly” war?

D.C.: I’d rather have it the way they have compromised rather than completely shutting it off. It is gruesome. It is difficult. I don’t have a problem with an age restriction based on the content. I’m willing to have

that compromise if it allows us to then have the adult consumer have the ability to observe and use this data.

The D.O.: What are the long-term effects of deleting so many of these videos?

D.C.: Well, then we don’t have them. And so we have potential corroborative information that could be of use to those who are cataloging, archiving or investigating war crimes taking place, wherever that may be around the world. olcole@syr.edu

hree years ago, Mary Giehl strung hundreds of rice bowls from thousands of red threads hanging from the ceiling of the Everson Museum of Art. A 9-year-old boy came up to her, standing eye level with the bowls.

“He said to me, ‘when I look down below, and I look up, I feel like I’m under the sea,’” she said. “It was the most amazing thing for the 9-year-old to do.”

Those red threads and rice bowls were the main components of an installation at Giehl’s 2014 exhibit on malnutrition.

Giehl’s art has always had socio-political under- and overtones. The “Rice is Life” exhibit is one of many, including her most

recent group show, “Seen and Heard,” at the ArtRage Gallery.

Central New York-based women artists, including Giehl, will showcase their work in “Seen and Heard.” The exhibit will feature artistic representations of issues modern women face 100 years after women’s suffrage was written into New York state law. The exhibit will kick off with an all-are-welcome reception this Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. at the ArtRage Gallery.

ArtRage and Everson collaborated to create the “Seen and Heard” show. At Everson, patrons can see work by artists from all over the country. ArtRage’s collection see artrage page 12

Gannon’s Isle Ice Cream closed its downtown shop on Jefferson Street after about four years at the location, according to The PoatStandard. The shop was open seasonally around May to the end of the summer.

There have been no announcements regarding opening a new location to replace the one that just closed. But, the business isn’t new to opening more locations — there have been four official locations opened since their beginnings as an ice cream stand in 1982. The most recent Gannon’s opened at Destiny Mall USA on Nov. 25, 2016 and is open year-round, according to Gannon’s website.

The main location on Valley Drive will remain open until the holiday season, the stand at Shady Brook is closed for the season, according to Gannon’s website.

Gannon’s is a favorite among central New Yorkers, having won more than a dozen awards for their frozen dairy accomplishments.

The Syracuse New Times awarded Gannon’s “Best Ice Cream” every year since the start of the award in 2000. The Post Standard recognized the local business’ achievements and awarded Gannon’s with the title of “Best of CNY, Best Place to Get Ice Cream” in 2011, according to its website.

With over 35 years of history the family business has shown its resilience. Gannon’s has yet to release a statement addressing why it closed.

Anthony Fiacchi, general manager of Fabio’s Antica Cucina, neighboring restaurant, said he doesn’t think the close was because of a lack of business. “(Business) is encouraging because of the amount of people living down here,” Fiacchi said. lnilesst@syr.edu

5 things to know about rock band Counting Crows

By Casey Russell head illustrator

Chances are you’ve heard “Mr. Jones” or “Big Yellow Taxi” at Target or your local grocery store. Chances are you’ve seen “Shrek 2” and loved the song that plays in the background of the Fiona and Shrek love montage.

There’s also a pretty high chance that you know absolutely nothing about the band that penned those bangers. The band is Counting Crows, and the group will be performing Saturday at the Lakeview Amphitheater with Matchbox Twenty. Here are five things you need to know about this band that no one under 30 knows anything about.

It’s a big live band

Counting “Across a Wire (Live in New York)” as a double LP because it has two disks, the band has released five live albums and six original studio albums, which is a lot of live albums compared to how many studio albums exist. When playing live, the band makes a new set list for each show. Vocalist Adam Duritz frequently ad-libs lyrics, often extending live versions of Counting Crows hits well past their studio versions. The live version of “Round Here” on “August and Everything After - Live at Town Hall” is just under 12 minutes long.

It does a lot of covers

“Big Yellow Taxi” is a cover of Joni Mitchell’s original version from the 1960s. It has covered Grateful Dead’s “Friend of the Devil” and Bob Dylan’s “Girl From the North Country.” It even made an album with only covers, called “Underwater Sunshine (or what we did on our summer vacation).” Bonus: Check out the super low-quality, deep-track cover of “Cecilia” by Simon & Garfunkel.

Adam Duritz uses Tinder

A few years have passed since “Mr. Jones” came out in 1993. The internet became a thing and so did Tinder. A few years have passed since Duritz was 26, and sometime a few years ago, Duritz decided to swipe right.

There is a piece of Maria in every song that Duritz sings

That’s a lyrical reference to “Mrs. Potter’s Lullaby,” one of the leading tracks off 1999’s “This Desert Life.”

But Maria is actually a recurring character in many Counting Crows’ songs. She even appears in songs by The Himalayans, which is the band Duritz was a part of before Counting Crows. The most famous reference to Maria is in “Mr. Jones,” where Duritz sings “show me some of them Spanish dances.” Even though some fans are convinced that Maria is a real person, Duritz contends that she is a fictional semirepresentation of himself.

The band’s name comes from a creepy nursery rhyme Not exactly. But when Duritz and longtime friend and Crows guitarist David Bryson used to play coffeehouses in San Francisco, he heard the nursery rhyme “One for Sorrow” in a movie one of his close friends starred in. The rhyme is about an English superstition that groups of magpies — a bird in the crow family – can help predict the future, but seeing just a single crow is considered to be bad luck. The rhyme reads: “one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told” and it’s referenced in the band’s song “A Murder of One.” cmrussel@syr.edu

Students organize tribute festival before Paul McCartney plays the Dome

By Divya Murthy staff writer

O

ne of the world’s most popular musical acts is coming to Syracuse in less than 20 days. A few students from the Setnor School of Music students have taken the excitement surrounding Paul McCartney’s Sept.

23 concert in Syracuse to the next level.

Dreya Cherry, a senior music industry major and Calvin Schneider, a junior music industry major, are co-producing McCartney Madness, a student-run festival for student bands and artists in the hours before the actual concert. The auditions for the festival are coming up — here’s what Cherry and Schneider have to say about the auditions, the festival and the musical legend.

The Daily Orange: Tell us how and why this festival is taking place.

Calvin Schneider: We had our first initial meeting, where everyone who was interested came together. People who were to be in charge were voted in, so it was me and Dreya. We decided to split people up into committees so different people could carry out different tasks over the summer and when we get back. We chose what we wanted to be working on within the event: There’s a tech crew who do the lights and mixing, the financial crew who are helping us get signatures and money from the school. And there’s the artistic committee, which is in charge of picking out the student artists and bands that will perform.

D.O.: Where did the idea for the festival come from?

C.S.: It was (William) DiCosimo’s idea. He’s the head of the music industry department. He wanted it to be entirely student run. … The students in the committees range from music industry majors and minors to people who aren’t even music majors.

D.O.: How much time has gone into creating this festival?

C.S.: Me and Dreya, we did a lot of work over the summer. There was a lot of emailing back and forth with various teachers, the companies from where we have to rent the stage and light and lot of emails with comptrollers who had to sign off on everything. And once we got back, we had another big meeting and got the ball rolling: We created posters, the Facebook page and event for just the auditions.

Dreya Cherry: It’s been a project that’s been in the works since May, so it’s kind of cool to see it all coming together. … It’s really a project that’s spearheaded by the degree program — just to show what we can do, to make it memorable, to

get our name out, all while creating a good experience for the people who are on campus for a concert or who are just walking through on a Saturday afternoon.

D.O.: What should we know about the auditions?

C.S.: The auditions are Sept. 9, 10 and 14, between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. The final event is on Sept. 23 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

D.O.: What are you looking for in the auditions?

C.S.: We’re just looking to make sure our artists have an idea of what they’re going to do. They have to be able to play one or two Beatles songs and one or two other songs of their choice for 15 minutes, maximum.

D.C.: We believe our festival is about celebrating Paul McCartney and celebrating the musical talent we have on campus. We’re just looking for people who will be engaging for our audience, who are enjoying themselves and who are promoting the music of this wonderful musician to the entire campus.

D.O.: Have you partnered with Syracuse University to produce this festival?

D.C.: In a way, yes. Most of the work we’ve been doing is through the Setnor School of Music, mostly because our director of operations, Michelle Taylor, is a wonderful resource for people who are interested in this type of thing, and also faculty who’ve put together concerts before. Most of the help has been coming from the school to get our permits and to get our equipment.

D.O.: Do you know how big the festival is going to be?

D.C.: It’s funny you should ask: We’re still working on it. The idea of the concert is really fluid. Some of it will be waiting to see who we have. ... But with a big name, things are constantly in flux, we have to do whatever we have to, to make sure we don’t mess up the Dome with it.

D.O.: Why do you love Paul McCartney?

C.S.: Honestly, I love the Beatles, and it’s what my parents raised me on since I was two years old. Paul McCartney is an act that’s timeless and that everyone knows, no matter what age you’re from and where you’re from.

D.C.: I have not always been a huge Beatles fan. I always appreciated them, but they were never my favorite artists. But the more I’m looking into it, the more I’m learning about him and his musical legacy. It’s brilliant. He brings a lot of really in-depth musical concepts in a way that’s accessible to everybody. You’re not necessarily cognizant of that, but his music is genius. The more I learn and listen, the more I realize how good it is— it’s smart music by smart people that’s still enjoyable and popular. dmurthy@syr.edu

Goalie Borg van der Velde, SU defense record 5 straight shutouts

By Andrew Graham asst. copy editor

Borg van der Velde had to go all out, but only briefly.

During an 18-second span in the first half against Ohio Sunday, the freshman denied three shots in rapid succession from the Bobcats attack.

To preserve her season-long clean sheet, the freshman dove right to block a shot.

While sprawled out, van der Velde saved a second and third attempt by the Bobcats, elevating her left leg to about the middle of the net in a successful last-ditch effort.

It was an unusual lapse from SU’s back line, but van der Velde preserved the shutout.

“She’s a great goalie,” junior Jennifer Bleakney said, “so I hope she’s gonna keep that up as long as she can.”

Timely work from van der Velde has kept opposing offenses silent as No. 5 Syracuse (5-0) has yet to allow a goal through five games. But she hasn’t done it alone. SU’s defense limits opponent’s chances by controlling possession and feeding the ball up the field to the offense and occasionally relying on van der Velde to make saves as its last resort.

“It feels really good,” van der Velde said of from page 16

sand

Sand said. “… Ever since I could get a hand on my ball I never let it go.”

Volleyball runs in the Sand family. Belle’s mother, sister and cousins all played competitively. In 2001, Sand’s older cousins were on the Mabel-Canton School team that reached the later rounds of the Minnesota State Volleyball Tournament in the Xcel Energy Center, home of the National Hockey League’s Minnesota Wild. A 6-year-old Sand was there, swinging her head back and forth as she tracked the ball.

That year, her sister entered the MabelCanton volleyball camp and Sand admired from a stage in the barn-like gymnasium.

Lonnie Morken, Sand’s coach who is entering his 24th year at Mabel-Canton, recalled Sand sitting on the stage and pleading to enter the camp, which was reserved for grade-school kids, a year early.

“She would do anything,” Morken said.

“If the older kids were playing, she would help shag balls. She would partner up with somebody if we had odd numbers.”

Morken estimated that he’s sent 20 players from Mabel-Canton to collegiate programs. The majority have gone to Division II and Division III schools. Only two have gone to Division I: Sand and Sand’s hero.

“Karlie Urbaniak was my God,” Sand said, throwing her hands out in the air. “I remember Karlie coming back and anytime she stepped in the room my eyes just went ‘Boom.’ I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is God. This is my volleyball God.’” Urbaniak was named Minnesota’s Miss Volleyball in 2003. When Urbaniak committed to North Carolina State, Sand started second grade and told Tricia that she too would go to a Division I school on the East Coast. At the time, Tricia didn’t even know what Division I was.

In order to get to the East Coast, Sand turned her house into a makeshift training facility. Tricia remembered her daughter from page 16

dungey Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad. Senior Steve Ishmael appears to be the one with an elevated role after posting career-highs in both receptions (12) and receiving yards (134) in Week 1. After redshirting last year, junior Jamal Custis grabbed three balls for an average of more than 13 yards per catch in his newfound starting role.

“We just got the rust off a little, so it feels good,” Dungey said. “We just got to be on the same page with the receivers and once we get that down, it’ll be a smooth road.”

Custis said he and Dungey spent extra time this offseason working one-on-one. They discussed specifics of when and where Dungey

the shutouts. “I haven’t had that many shots against me.”

Through five games, she has only had to make six saves — three against unranked Ohio and three at No. 25 Pacific. But even in situations when she’s not necessarily making saves, van der Velde has still protected the arc.

A handful of times in Syracuse’s home opener against Bucknell, van der Velde left the cage to clear a ball rolling inside the arc.

Those plays weren’t recorded as saves, but they prevented any chance of a cheap scoring opportunity.

“Athletic, great personality, great energy,” SU head coach Ange Bradley said. “A really good communicator, which is very hard to find. Those were key things with me.”

When things are breaking down on the back line, the freshman begins barking orders to get the defense settled. Aside from facing 12 shots against Pacific, SU opponents have combined for nine shots. Bucknell didn’t record one. Of all the shots given up

by SU’s defense this season, six have been on goal. The Orange itself has nearly as many goals (16) as total shots faced (21).

SU’s ability to control the ball for long periods of time catalyzes its dominance.

Running the offense through two backers, always having a ball in her hand, breaking things in the house and practicing for hours against a wall. At any given time, she said, up to 20 volleyballs were strewn around the house.

Sometimes the house wasn’t enough.

Mabel-Canton’s gym, used for choir performances and school plays, became Sand’s training ground. Once, Tricia had to go get Sand from the gym when she skipped the school bus home.

When Morken attended volleyball camps across the state, Sand joined him. That meant getting picked up as early as 5:30 a.m. and getting dropped off at 7 p.m. Multiple times a summer, Sand woke up the very next morning and traveled with Morken again. In eighth grade, she joined the high school varsity team with the same goal always in mind.

Late in her senior year, Syracuse was the only Atlantic Coast Conference program to offer Sand a shot at her dream. Foregoing starring roles at local Division II schools, Sand walked on at SU. During her first three weeks at SU, Sand called Tricia and explained all her doubts. At that moment, her teammates were so good it didn’t seem like she knew how to play volleyball. Sand only played outside hitter in high school and now, walking on at SU, head coach Leonid Yelin wanted to switch her to libero.

In the first tournament of her collegiate career, Sand didn’t enter the game at all. The second weekend, she was on the court for eight points. The next week against Ohio, Sand entered the game as a libero for the first time. A month later, on Oct. 19, 2014, Sand led the Orange in a win against Wake Forest with eight digs and has started at libero ever since.

“You don’t realize how much everyone on your team impacts you,” Sand said. “But, they helped make me the player that I am today.”

For Sand, summers are spent back home training and coaching. She still helps out at the same volleyball camps. As skilled as Urbaniak was on the court, Sand admired her for everything she was off of it. would throw the ball on certain routes. The placement on Dungey’s 29-yard pass Custis caught with one hand against Central Connecticut State displayed the benefits.

To date, Syracuse hasn’t seen what that kind of attention to detail and desire for improvement can do for Dungey over the course of a full season. He played nine games last season and eight his freshman year in 2015. He started 2017 off with a three-touchdown, 328-yard performance on 28-for-36 passing, connecting with eight different receivers. Project those numbers over the course of a 12-game campaign and that’s good for nearly 4,000 yards and 36 touchdowns.

Lies Lagerweij and Roos Weers, the Orange swings the ball side to side before flinging a pass up the wings. This strategy allows SU to regulate play for long stretches, preventing any shots toward van der Velde.

“We really just focused on keeping the ball in possession,” Weers said after shutting out Bucknell on Saturday, “and if we are calm, it’s just easy.” aegraham@syr.edu | @A_E_Graham

“Now that I’ve had help to get me to this position I only want to give back,” Sand said. “Hopefully one day I’m sitting here listening to some of these girls playing DI on the East Coast.”

Last September, Syracuse took on the Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa, about two hours from Mabel. SU athletes typically get tickets for family and friends to attend games, and for this game Sand received about 20. Sand expected Morken, Tricia and some family friends to go. rating he’d ever given to a quarterback after a season’s first game.

“What would he be able to do to affect a season if we can keep him for 12 games going at that level?” Babers said.

The answer to that question could exist largely in the ratio of runs to passes Dungey attempts. He has said he will run less this year, but admitted after Friday night’s game that saw him somersault over a tackler and lead the team with 51 rushing yards that “you can’t play football and not get hit.”

“A lot of quarterbacks (run) and it affects their accuracy and their numbers and their percentages drop,” head coach Dino Babers said Friday night. “He does that stuff and he throws for high percentages.” jtbloss@syr.edu | @jtbloss

She was unaware that her family planned for more than 100 people from Mabel and surrounding areas to make the trip down.

Younger kids who watched Sand in high school showed up, middle schoolers went with their families and Morken brought down the entire volleyball team. Here was Mabel coming together for something bigger, rallying around one of their own.

“I have this saying,” Sand said. “‘You can’t always leave, you can always come home.’” nialvare@syr.edu

Kicker Cole Murphy hopes to replicate home success on the road

By Matthew Gutierrez asst. sports editor

In the moments leading up to his field-goal attempts, Cole Murphy gently wiggles his arms, rocks his body, lines up his 6-foot-3 frame and takes a breath of air. He tilts his head up to look beyond the goal posts.

There is the target, way up there. He may aim for the third deck. Or he will aim for a young boy or girl with a Syracuse shirt on. Or maybe a sign or camera.

These are the markers of Murphy’s success. The 215-pound senior has attempted a kick in each of SU’s 37 games since his freshman season, and each time he picks a different location at which to aim, depending on the venue.

There is little doubt whether Murphy can kick. He was a semifinalist for the nation’s best kicker award as a freshman. But his numbers have dropped off each year since, largely because he struggles away from the Carrier Dome. He finished last year for SU (1-0) 1-for-7 away from home, compared to a 9-of-11 mark at home.

“It’s about having short-term memory,”

he said. “I want to be great.”

Murphy’s biggest takeaway from 2016, when he sent seven kickoffs out of bounds, is that he can’t dwell on past kicks. That mindset powers him in what he wants to be a breakout season. Murphy places fifth on the SU career record lists for most extra points made and attempted, as well as the top 10 in school history for most field goals made. He recognizes that his next step is replicating the success he has had at home when he’s on the road.

“Cole has a fantastic record inside the Dome,” Syracuse head coach Dino Babers said. “He has some issues when we get outside of the Dome. There’s no doubt about it.”

High school didn’t prepare him for the kicking environments of the ACC. Growing up in Castaic, California, about 40 miles north of Los Angeles, he said he rarely kicked into breezes more than 4 miles per hour. He grew accustomed to calm conditions like those of the Carrier Dome. Now, trying to acclimate, he kicks outside of the Ensley Athletic Center several days per week, especially if it’s breezy or wet.

When he was younger, Murphy practiced

on a 300-foot long horse arena beside his house. When he lost footballs in nearby yards because he was kicking the balls too far, Murphy asked friends to shag for him at the high school. He specialized in kicking about ninth grade and made visits to Iowa, Colorado State, Northern Arizona. He received letters from Alabama and Tennessee.

Later, Murphy developed into one of SU’s steadiest contributors. On an average Monday or Tuesday mid-season, he launches 40 to 50 kicks per day. He gradually decreases that number as game day approaches. By Friday, he hits only about 15 or 20.

“You need to be as fresh as possible,” Murphy said.

His father, Mike, said he thinks Murphy’s struggles last year stemmed from a talent drop-off in long-snapping and holding following the graduation of former SU long-snapper Sam Rodgers. Last year, Matt Keller snapped and backup quarterback Zack Mahoney held for Murphy.

“Cole has always been one of those guys when something goes wrong, he goes onto the next one,” Mike said. “He’s never gotten those things wrapped in his head.”

Murphy said that will be what drives his success rate in 2017. Because for many SU fans, the misses haven’t faded. In 2015, Murphy missed a 31-yarder right before halftime against LSU, sending SU into the break trailing by four instead of one. He missed a 48-yarder in a triple-overtime loss at Virginia later that year. Last October, he shanked a 30-yarder in a 54-0 loss at Clemson, the only time a Babers-led team has ever failed to a score a point.

On Saturday, Murphy’s former head coach at Syracuse, Scott Shafer, who gave the kicker a scholarship after his freshman season, will return to SU as Middle Tennessee State’s defensive coordinator. The last time Shafer was at SU, Murphy sent him off on a positive note. Before teammates hoisted and carried Shafer around the Dome, they lifted Murphy above their shoulders because the sophomore had just hit a 35-yard field goal as time expired to beat Boston College.

Schafer’s return mirrors Murphy’s hopeful return, to the kicker he was that November afternoon two years ago. mguti100@syr.edu | @Matthewgut21

Georgia Allen’s goals lie abroad, but a piece of her remains home

By Michael McCleary staff writer

Georgia Allen stood in the middle of the field and waved. She watched as her parents got into their car and circled the Arsenal Training Centre toward the exit. It finally hit her.

“Wow, I’m really doing this,” she thought.

At the age of 13, Allen was already living one of her earliest childhood dreams. Little did she know, as her parents drove away in their Volkswagen Golf or Navarra Truck each passing day, that her dreams would take her much further than these 70 miles from her childhood home.

Allen, a new arrival at Syracuse (4-1-1) as a transfer from East Tennessee State, looks to find her home at SU after years of searching for the best place to help her achieve her goals. Her journey has brought her to multiple countries across Europe, two schools in two different states in the United States and many separate practice facilities. But back home, where she returns every few weeks to train with the English national team, things remain steady.

“I’ve lived in England my entire life,” Allen said. “But I’m always looking for my next challenge.”

Allen envisioned this soccer future long ago. At the age of 3, she kicked her first soccer ball. Her family remembered that, seemingly every morning after, she would wake up and immediately dress up in full soccer gear. Liz Wesley, her mother, said a ball was always being kicked around the house or in their large garden overlooked by a conservatory. The more her parents watched from above the garden, the more soccer seemed less a passion and more an obsession.

When she was 5 years old, Allen wrote that she wanted to play for the Arsenal

Women Football Club and represent her country in international play. She often wrote entries in her diary, but playing for Arsenal was one of the biggest dreams Allen put to paper. Her father had grown up a fan.

Eight years later, the club was holding tryouts in London, about 70 miles from her house, so Wesley drove Allen to the practice facility. Allen thought her chances of making the team weren’t good.

But the next day, she got a call back to try out again. Then again and again. The miles racked up on her parent’s car, until one day, she got the call for good.

“Completely worth it,” Allen said. “I couldn’t wait to get started, it was pretty amazing.”

Wesley said how hard her daughter works isn’t always the greatest thing because the game is almost “painfully everything.” “(Wherever) she’s played over the past few years,” Wesley said, “it’s meant something.

You got to do well. The pressure’s on. It’s been a very long time since she’s played for fun.”

When Allen left home at 18 for ETSU, her parents stayed up into dawn, watching live stats of her games in bed. The postgame WhatsApp phone conversations had them up until after 3 a.m. on the latest nights.

Leaving ETSU, Wesley said, was a career move. She had her eyes on the Atlantic Coast Conference for the opportunity to play at the highest level of collegiate soccer. Syracuse head coach Phil Wheddon, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, was impressed with what he saw when his USA team played Allen’s England team.

“I knew that she could play here,” Wheddon said. “When she became available, it was a no-brainer.”

After Allen requested a release from ETSU, Wheddon started making calls. Allen said that she did get “a few” offers, but as

soon as Syracuse got in touch she knew it was the place she wanted to be.

“I have this thing about me, not wanting to stand still, always keep moving” Allen said, laughing. “(It’s) about getting out of my comfort zone.”

Allen still keeps what she calls a “review book” with her at all times. In it, she takes notes on opponents, constructively criti-

cizes herself and notes future goals.

Her parents remember the diary she kept when she was young. To this day, she still writes things down. 3500 miles from the redbrick house with a large garden, she still carries that piece of childhood with her.

“It’s a gentle reminder each day,” she said. mmcclear@syr.edu

Syracuse jumps up to No. 7

Mabel, Minnesota, has one K-12 school, one main road and one of the best liberos in SU history

By Nick Alvarez staff writer

After drawing with Princeton and defeating Northwestern last weekend, Syracuse (3-0-1) rose one spot to No. 7 in the United Soccer Coaches rankings Tuesday morning.

Seven other Atlantic Coast Conference schools join SU in the top 25, including No. 2 Wake Forest, No. 3 Clemson, No. 6 Notre Dame, No. 8 Louisville, No. 10 North Carolina and SU’s opponent this Friday, No. 11 Virginia.

The Cavaliers (3-0) are coming off a 2-1 overtime win Monday night against North Carolina Wilmington. Friday’s matchup marks the start of conference play for both teams.

The Orange almost suffered its first loss of the season against Princeton Friday afternoon before John-Austin Ricks scored in the 84th minute to tie the game at one. The goal came when SU was a man-down, an area it has excelled in through four games.

Syracuse’s offense scored early and often on Sunday night, defeating Northwestern 3-1 and improving to 244-16-7 when scoring three goals or more in a match.

Junior forward Adnan Bakalovic opened the scoring less than a minute into the match when he tapped in a low-cross from freshman Tajon Buchanan. Junior midfielder Jonathan Hagman and Buchanan added the second and third goals, respectively.

stretch of U.S. Highway 44 in rural, southeastern Minnesota passes by fields, affordable one-story homes and a small sign introducing passersby to a place that only 780 people call home. “Welcome to Mabel: Rural America’s Steam Engine Capitol.”

The town’s 306 acres of land include one K-12 school, one central road called Main Street and a tight-knit community where everyone, one resident said, has the “Minnesota Nice,” a stereotypical expression that labels Minnesotans as friendly.

“Everyone is a part of something,” Tricia Sand, a resident of Mabel, said. “The whole community rallies together. It’s part of something bigger.”

More than 1,000 miles away Belle Sand, Tricia’s daughter, was in Manley Field House and thought about what her life was while surrounded by what her life had become. Dressed in Syracuse athletic gear, Sand spoke of home fondly, with an occasional appearance of her Minnesota accent. Mabel gave Sand the sport she loves and the opportunity to become her idol. After three years at Syracuse, Sand knows her support system, her town, got her here.

Sand enters her senior year in what Tricia assumes is her last of playing competitive volleyball. A season removed from going 7-23, Sand wants to help SU (3-4) find the success it had a few years ago. In 2015, SU went 23-8 with Sand recording the second-most digs in a single season, 455, in program history.

SU to play in 2k Sports Classic

If he’s healthy, Eric Dungey has an arm to show off

By Joe Bloss

senior staff writer

The current face of Syracuse, quarterback Eric Dungey didn’t have a robust knowledge of the school when he arrived on campus more than two years ago, because he was from Oregon.

His memories went back to somewhere around the start of this decade, when SU’s last quarterback to be drafted, Ryan Nassib, was running the offense and writing his name in the school’s record books. So when Dungey got to campus and looked up to see an image of Nassib, an underrecruited, West Coast kid like he was, on the weight room’s wall, he found instant motivation.

Now Dungey’s trying to repeat — or perhaps rewrite — history.

He tied a mark among Syracuse quarterbacks Friday that only Nassib had before reached: seven games of at least 300 yards passing. That’s a stat measured by the achievement of Dungey’s arm, an aspect of him often overlooked because of the attention paid to his legs. It’s an aspect that, according to the people who’ve watched it develop, could guide him down a path similar to Nassib’s — if his legs don’t get in the way.

“This kid not only has Saturday’s in him, but Sunday’s, too,” said Taylor Barton, a trainer Dungey worked with in high school.

Barton didn’t see Dungey as a Division I talent when he first

worked with him at camps. Neither did most D-I schools. But as Dungey grew into his body, Barton saw increasing potential. They corrected footwork and shortened

Dungey’s throw to rid it of wasted motion. They hurled footballs from midfield to hit the crossbar and Dungey connected with more accuracy than most quarterbacks.

Others saw the dedication in

Dungey’s interactions. Elvis Akpla, Dungey’s offensive coordinator at Lakeridge (Oregon) High School, said Dungey took extra time to ask every offensive weapon how they wanted the ball delivered to them. At SU, Terrel Hunt, Dungey’s predecessor as the Orange’s quarterback, saw a younger version of himself in Dungey’s constant questioning. It reminded Hunt of when he used to ask Nassib for pointers.

Now that mindset will be applied with Dungey’s cast of receivers, which no longer includes Amba Etta-Tawo, the unit’s leading receiver last season with 94 catches and 14 touchdowns. He’s now on the

Syracuse reportedly will play in the 2018 2K Sports Classic at Madison Square Garden, per the FanRag Sports Network.

The Orange are set to headline the 2018 slate along with Connecticut, Iowa and Oregon. The official matchups have yet to be announced.

The 2K Sports Classic is an annual four-team tournament televised nationally on ESPN. The last four teams play at MSG, where the tournament has been hosted since 1998. SU has participated four times, with tournament victories in 2004 and 2009.

Syracuse last played in the tournament in 2014.

The last time SU played at MSG, it fell to UConn, 52-50, last December. Besides the Huskies, Oregon reached the Final Four in 2017, where the Ducks lost to see sports
