Schumer presents 9/11 bill

By Rachel Sandler contributing writer

On Thursday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will re-introduce the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The bill, if passed, will allow victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks to sue foreign countries that finance terror groups like al-Qaida.

With Sen. Patrick Leahy’s (D-VT) approval, the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which Leahy is chair, will consider JASTA on the 13th anniversary of the Sept.

11 attacks. After that, the bill still has to pass the Senate, as well as the House of Representatives where it faces fiercer opposition.

line of students wound around the lobby of the Schine Student Center and out the building toward the edge of Bird Library on Wednesday morning as students anxiously waited for tickets to see Oprah Winfrey to become available.

On Sept. 29 at 1 p.m., Winfrey will speak in Goldstein Auditorium in the Schine Student Center. She will be one of many media figures who will be at the dedication ceremony of the Newhouse Studio and Innovation Center, an $18 million renovation made to Newhouse II. Tickets to the event became available to SU students at 11 a.m. on Wednesday at the Schine Box Office, and all 200 tickets were gone in just 13 minutes. They were free for students with a Syracuse University ID. Lynn Vanderhoek, Newhouse assistant dean for external affairs, said the upstairs balcony of the Goldstein Auditorium has 500 tickets and 200 of those tickets were available on Wednesday. The remaining 300 tickets will be distributed to Newhouse students through a lottery.

All undergraduate and graduate Newhouse students will be automatically entered in the lottery, according to an email sent to Newhouse students from Newhouse Dean see oprah page 10

JASTA aims to expand provisions in the Foreign Sovereignties Immunities Act and the Anti-Terrorism Act, which both govern how foreign groups are financially liable to American victims of terror attacks.

Under current law, the families of 9/11 victims have been unsuccessful in receiving financial compensation within the U.S court system.

Most notably, a 2008 ruling from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals re-affirmed the dismissal of a suit brought by victims and their families against Saudi Arabia, four Saudi Princes, a Saudi banker and a Saudi charity.

THIRSTY thursday | milk stout nitro

Chalky beer tastes like chocolate milk, coffee

By Hannah Redfield contributing writer

Every coffee lover remembers experimenting with the drink for the first time. I remember desperately wanting to drink a cup of Joe in the mornings. As much as my 15-year-old self wanted to order a cup of coffee at Starbucks instead of my standard double chocolaty chip Frappuccino, I could not get on board with coffee’s distinct, bitter taste.

The Milk Stout Nitro by Left Hand Brewing Co. is the 21-year-old version of that same coming-of-age tale. The idea of drinking a beer made with milk is strangely appealing, but the final product did not come together quite as nicely as I had hoped.

The bottle label recommends a “hard pour” into a glass, which means turning the bottle upside down and not letting the liquid touch the side of the drinking vehicle. As I did this, a creamy head formed around the rim.

At the Guinness Storehouse Tour in Ireland, they tell you that if you hold the dark stout up to the sun, the light will reveal that the seemingly brown

beer is actually red. Not this beer.

Nitro is black all the way through.

Who knew there was a beer darker than Guinness?

After pouring the Nitro, I took a quick sniff and was surprised by the smell of chocolate. My first sips revealed that my nose had not led me astray — what I was drinking tasted more like chocolate milk than beer. The rich, mocha notes struck me as odd, and they induced a pucker-faced reaction as the flavors settled on my tongue.

The consistency was surprising as well — the viscosity was higher than other beers, giving it a creamy texture.

As I drank, I got hints of malt, toffee and chocolate. The combination of the rich, roast-y flavors and the oddly thick texture made me question whether I was drinking milk, coffee or beer.

There was a slight bitterness with the addition of hops, but they were overshadowed by the other full-bodied flavors. I was not a fan of the chalky Milk Stout Nitro, but hey, that’s why we have chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

As for me, I’ll be leaving the milk to the cookies. hwredfie@syr.edu

Senators discuss goals during first meeting

By Annie Palmer staff writer

It was business as usual at the first University Senate meeting of the year, as senators broke from the general assembly and convened in committees to review goals and elect chairs.

Wednesday’s meeting lasted less than 10 minutes, but Maxwell Auditorium was almost completely filled with senators, including Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina. Chancellor Kent Syverud could not make the meeting, but is still an active

senator; he attended the senate’s last agenda setting meeting said Douglas Armstrong, who serves as the newly appointed senate moderator and chair of the Agenda Committee.

Armstrong was elected unanimously and replaced Bruce Carter, associate professor of psychology and child and family studies, after his term ended last year.

Most of the committees briefly discussed issues from last semester and then dispersed, but Armstrong said the senate committees on Women’s Concerns, Academic Affairs and

Appointment and Promotions all had important issues to discuss.

“I think for a couple of committees there are some pending areas that need to be dealt with, but for the most part, today is reacquainting with issues and having snacks,” Armstrong said.

Robert Rubinstein, chair of the Appointment and Promotions committee, said the committee will soon be working with Spina to develop guidelines on a new university-wide faculty committee that will review promotion and tenure applications.

The faculty committee will also make

recommendations in cases of promotion and tenure, according to a May 10 board resolution issued by Syracuse University’s Board of Trustees.

Rubinstein said faculty will want to discuss the Board of Trustees’ changes in promotion and tenure policies because they were “quite radical” and take promotion “out of the hands of the faculty.” He added that while it may become a contentious issue at future senate meetings, he hopes the Appointment and Promotions committee will be able to do see usen page 10

NAACP to host open forum on diversity issues

By Brett Samuels asst. news editor

This Friday, the Syracuse University community will have the chance to participate in an open discussion following events that have taken place in Ferguson, Missouri and on campus.

The SU chapter of the National

Association for the Advancement of Colored People is hosting a forum at 1 p.m. on Friday in Grant Auditorium. It will give those in attendance the opportunity to speak openly about their feelings in the aftermath of the Mike Brown shooting and the video showing Hanna Strong, an SU women’s soccer

player, using derogatory language.

“It’s going to be an open space, and hopefully it will become a learning experience when people hear about the experiences of others on campus,” said Danielle Reed, the event and programming chair for the NAACP. Reed said the NAACP executive board got together last Sunday night

to plan Friday’s event. It was sparked partly by a meeting of student organizations, who assembled on Saturday to talk about how to respond to the Strong video. Reed said many students at the Saturday event talked about wanting an open space to speak about how they felt about the Strong situation. see forum page 5

forum As a result, the hashtag #SpeakUpSU began spreading. Reed said the hashtag served as a way for people to see other students’ experiences.

The planning for the event was completed in just two days, and will be an open floor format that will feature a mediator. Reed said the mediator will ensure that the discussion doesn’t get into people attacking each other or result in hurt feelings.

“We didn’t want it to be overly structured,” she said. “We wanted it to be very free and open.”

In addition to the discussion aspect, Reed said the event will provide education for those in attendance about both the Ferguson situation and the Hanna Strong video. That includes

in this case “foreign sovereign immunity.” JASTA will prevent groups that fund terrorism from invoking this immunity and ensure that American courts have jurisdiction over these cases.

“It does open up a jurisdictional door that was closed before,” David Crane, a Syracuse University law professor, said in an email. “I don’t think you will see federal courts dismissing cases if properly pled under the JASTA.” Other groups that kill Americans in any act of terrorism, like ISIS and Hamas, will also be liable if JASTA is passed, according to a statement released on Sept. 2 by Schumer’s office.

Schumer’s office did not return two phone calls and an email.

Opponents of the bill claim that increasing liability opens companies up to unfair lawsuits. One

“It should be informative so that someone who has no idea what happened in the last week, they can get all the info they need about what happened and can hear about how students and faculty feel about it,” she said.

In light of the events involving Brown and Strong, and the response to those incidents, Reed said Friday is the perfect time for this forum.

“The time is right to talk about issues like these,” Reed said. “I can’t think of a better time than now to have this forum and to hopefully get a movement going to promote a change.” blsamuel@syr.edu

such opponent is the fruit producer Chiquita.

For the past year, Chiquita has been aggressively lobbying against JASTA because the company fears it could be held liable for payments it made to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, which comprises of violent, right-wing militias, according to a June Daily Beast article.

In response, Chiquita released a statement that said they, too, were victims of terrorist groups and were extorted into paying them.

The legal question brought to light is whether companies that sponsor terrorists are responsible for acts of terrorism those groups commit,Crane said.

“Transactions in this internet linked world could directly or indirectly support a possible terrorist state or group that can cause harm, even though the company never intended the result,” Crane said. “It’s a possible problem.” rsandler@syr.edu

Report finds wage gap between men and women persists

By Delaney Van Wey contributing writer

A recent study has shown that while the income gap between men and women is decreasing, the gap still exists, regardless of investment in education.

According to a new interactive charting tool from Fusion, a television and digital network, the average man who drops out of college makes more money in his lifetime than the average female with a four-year degree.

A man who spends $40,000 on his education before he drops out will make an average of $1.6 million by the time he is 44 years old.

However, a woman who graduates with a B.A. in science, spending $95,000 on her education, will only make an average of $1.3 million in that same time, according to the chart.

Fusion’s chart also shows that a man with a bachelor’s degree in the arts makes more money on average than a woman with a bachelor’s degree in science. Assuming they both spend $95,000 on their education, the chart says that the male with the art degree will make an average salary of $92,000 a year by

the time he turns 44, while the female with the science degree will only make an average of $72,000 a year.

Felix Salmon, a journalist at Fusion who worked with the survey company PayScale to create this chart, said via email that theses results surprised him.

“I thought the returns to education were bigger than the differences between men and women,” he said.

Christopher Faricy, an assistant professor of political science at Syracuse University, said this inequality is an ingrained part of our society that is fading, albeit slowly. There are multiple social and sociological factors in our culture that contribute to this disparity, he said.

One such factor, Faricy said, is the “marriage penalty,” wherein women make less money after marriage while men make more.

This is explained, he said, by the fact that most women still bear the majority of the household duties in a marriage. He also said certain careers, including nursing and teaching, usually pay less than most and have been “disproportionately held by women,” although

this is gradually changing.

Faricy added that there is still blatant pay discrimination in the workplace. Citing President Barack Obama’s passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, which fights gender-based pay discrimination, he explained that women with the same, sometimes even more, responsibilities as men in the workplace can make less than them.

I thought the returns to education were bigger than the differences between men and women.

Felix Salmon fusion journalist

While students had varying reactions to the news, the dominant feeling seemed to be disappointment. Matthew Pevear, a senior art and photography major, said that he feels that these inequalities are “not ideal.”

But, he claimed that he was not shocked by the news, stating: “We live in a patriarchal society that is really male-dominated.”

Another student, Rae Tobey, a junior public health major, said that while she found the new statistics to be “a little unfair,” she wouldn’t “let it discourage (her) from going into a certain major,” if she decides to change fields. She also said she believes society is “heading in the right direction,” as “women aren’t afraid to go after degrees in science” and there are an increasing number of women in the workforce.

Faricy pointed out that some current trends in higher education already point to a more equal society. He said that “in four-year institutions more women (are) enrolling and graduating than men.” Also, more women are enrolling and graduating in professional and medical schools, Faricy said.

As for the future, Faricy said he believes that shifts in household dynamics, business efforts to include and promote women and changes in public policy will be indicators of a decreasing income gap. dovanwey@syr.edu

Poetic justice Georgia Regents University professor teaches Kendrick Lamar in English course

By Maggie Cregan staff writer

A

professor at Georgia Regents University is now putting Kendrick Lamar’s album “Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City” on a shelf with James Joyce’s “Dubliners” and the poetry of Gwendolyn Brooks.

Adam Diehl, who is teaching the English composition course “Good Kids, Mad Cities” for the first time this semester, said Lamar’s work achieves the same level of artistry as other works of literature and social commentary studied in the class like James Joyce’s short stories, Gwendolyn Brooks’ poems and John Singleton’s Academy Award-nominated film “Boyz n the Hood.”

Homework can include listening to songs by various artists and analyzing some aspect of their lyrics. Other assignments have students comparing songs from “Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City” to stories from “Dubliners.”

“I really didn’t think I was going to be able to do that,” Lauren Ringel, a sophomore

history major, said of the latter. “But it’s a lot easier than you think.”

Class discussions are no-holds barred as students discuss everything from serious social issues to pop culture. “Oh my gracious, the class is so much fun,” Ringel said. “Class actually passes way too fast.”

Additionally, discussing songs about everything from sexual abuse to gang violence can be “eye-opening” for students living in the quiet college town of Augusta, Georgia, said Jacquese Burton, a freshman nursing student. “(Here) we don’t have all that going on. I grew up in Detroit, where that was something that happened every day, but being here so long you kind of forget about that happening, so it brought back to reality all those different things, the sensitive subjects that are swept under the rug,” she said.

Patrick Frits, a junior sociology and criminal justice major, said class discussions can also feature Diehl breaking out into rap — and he’s “really good,” Frits said. “He’s like a

illustration by tony chao art director

quirky, Caucasian male and so it’s just really funny to see him break down into a rap, but he knows it, ‘cause he’s listened to this stuff for two, three years now trying to get it right.”

Diehl started planning the course last spring, after the curriculum of the school was changed to make the second semester freshman composition course topics-based rather than literature-based.

“It allows these professors to do something outside the box,” he said. “Every professor’s doing something interesting.”

Diehl said he designed the course around Lamar’s album so that students could learn about more than English composition.

Whether someone is born into gang violence or racism, he said, people’s beliefs are strongly influenced by their upbringings and he wants his students to start questioning their own ingrained ideas.

“I really want people to question what are you living for, why you treat people the way you do, why do you view people the way that you

do,” he said.

He added the faculty and administration have been supportive of his idea for the class since day one. Diehl hopes to teach the course again in future semesters, and said he’s coming up with new ideas for the class even as the semester flies by.

“It’s going so quickly,” he said. “We’re in the third week of class and it feels like I’m on the Millennium Falcon going into hyperspace.”

But there is the possibility that this semester could get even more exciting for Diehl and his students. Lamar will perform at the ONE Musicfest in Atlanta on Saturday, and Frits has been in touch with Lamar’s agent trying to get the rapper to visit the class. Diehl said he would be thrilled if Lamar made an appearance, but isn’t counting on the artist finding time in his busy schedule.

But there is an incentive for trying to get in touch with Lamar. “Professor Adam said, ‘If anybody gets Kendrick Lamar to class, you get an A,’” said Fritz. mmcregan@syr.edu

Republicans should not rush Obama’s decisions regarding ISIS

A

fter using the phrase “we don’t have a strategy” when responding to a complicated question about his plan of action against the Islamic State two weeks ago, President Barack Obama came back on Wednesday laying out his plan to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the ISIS threat by employing airstrikes in Syria.

After his less-than-sufficient response two weeks ago, right-wing critics were quick to point fingers at him, seeming to suggest that “go in and kill them all” was an adequate approach, despite the disastrous consequences nearly every other time we have reacted in this manner.

Does America remember the last two wars we entered without first having a complete strategy for it?

When our troops went to Iraq, not only did we make things worse, but we also didn’t have an exit strategy. We would do well to support Obama’s decision to take as much time as necessary, to develop thought-out strategies

JILLIAN LYNCH

JUST BIDEN MY TIME and provide answers to basic questions prior to any interventions. His decision to keep America’s attacks as airstrikes, avoiding putting our troops on Syria’s soil, was also a rational one.

Many Republican politicians were pushing Obama to declare military action as soon as possible, proving they learned nothing from our previous invasions.

Sen. John McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham wrote an op-ed piece on Aug. 29 that was featured in The New York Times, demanding we “confront ISIS now.”

“But ultimately, ISIS is a military force, and it must be confronted militarily. Mr. Obama has begun to take military actions against ISIS in Iraq, but they have been tactical and reactive half-measures. Continuing to

confront ISIS in Iraq, but not in Syria, would be fighting with one hand tied behind our back. We need a military plan to defeat ISIS, wherever it is....A comprehensive strategy to defeat ISIS would require more troops, assets, resources and time.”

In the piece, McCain and Graham offer a rationale that sounds an awful lot like former President George W. Bush’s “preventative war” strategy.

In 2002, then-Senator Barack Obama said in a speech in Chicago that he was opposed to “a dumb war … a rash war,” and discussed the “undetermined consequences” that could result from invading Iraq.

We are dealing with that consequence right now, and it’s called ISIS. Our invasion of Iraq in 2008 is responsible for ISIS, a branch of al-Qaeda.

We created the Global War on Terror and destroyed state powers in each of the countries we entered, dismantled the regions, and supplied them with military weapons.

Now that Obama is in office, he is sticking

with his mantra on not doing stupid stuff.

He didn’t rush to make a rash decision just because he received pressure from politicians such as John McCain or Lindsey Graham, who jump to support America’s involvement in a war whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Our country cannot solve this eruption of complex economic, religious and political issues by bringing trucks of soldiers with guns into Syria. I am not advocating isolationism, but it is important to be realistic before we interfere — especially before putting any more of our troops on foreign soil.

America must resist being conned into another war without first having an exit strategy. I appreciate Obama’s wise caution and support his decision to insure whatever we do is truly in the best interest of the United States’ national security.

Celebrities must be held accountable for violence against women

C

eeLo Green landed himself in hot water after a series of controversial tweets about rape. After being accused of drugging and raping his date in 2012, Green pleaded no contest to providing her with ecstasy last Tuesday.

After his plea deal, Green immediately took to Twitter, saying, “People who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!”

The reaction against these and many more of Green’s tweets was immediate and harsh, resulting in him deleting and then rejoining Twitter. And as a result of his comments, two of his concerts were canceled.

The backlash CeeLo Green faced is exactly how rape accusations and insensitive statements should be handled by the public, especially in regard to male celebrities.

Often, when a woman is raped or abused by a celebrity, fans are hesitant to take him to task for the crime.

Some cannot believe that their beloved singer, actor or athlete could do something so heinous. Others believe that said abusive acts are part of one’s personal life and should have no bearing on their professional work.

MANDISA SHIELDS

WHAT A GIRL WANTS For example, when the initial video of Ray Rice dragging his unconscious then-fiance Janay Rice out of a casino elevator was released to the public, many people were still in support of the football player and his career.

It was only when a second video actually showing him punching her in the face was released that the Baltimore Ravens dropped him, the NFL suspended him and public outrage ensued. But even then, many still questioned Janay Rice, wondering why she not only stayed with Rice but also married him after he abused her.

This victim-blaming mentality toward those who have been abused by male celebrities is not uncommon.

When Dylan Farrow penned an open letter in The New York Times about her sexual assault at the hands of her adoptive father Woody Allen, many people blamed her. Some

questioned why she waited so long while others outright accused her of lying. Many of the celebrities Allen has worked with, some of whom Farrow called out in the letter, did not comment.

However, the exact opposite has occurred in Green’s situation.

After his slew of offensive tweets, fans and non-fans alike addressed him directly. The backlash was so intense that he deleted the individual tweets then temporarily deleted his Twitter account.

Even after that, the backlash would not die down and Green rejoined Twitter to make a semi-apology, stating, “I truly and deeply apologized for the comments attributed to be on Twitter. Those comments were idiotic, untrue and not what I believe.” Or, in other words, it wasn’t me.

Thankfully, Green’s bogus apology did nothing to quell the situation, turning it from online backlash to real-world consequences.

Just days after the tweets, Green has been dropped from two concerts. Green’s first performance was to take place during a Gretna Heritage Festival in Louisiana. Concert

organizers have stated in a Facebook post that Green “does not represent the festival’s wholesome family environment.”

His second concert was to take place during a U.S. Navy-sponsored Freedom Live show. Navy Officials posted a statement via Facebook, saying that “the lack of sensitivity towards an issue that is one of the great challenges facing our Navy is unacceptable.”

It should also be noted that Green will not be returning as a judge on “The Voice” or his reality show “The Good Life.”

It may seem harsh to applaud another person’s downfall but considering the fact that the woman Green allegedly drugged and raped will live with this for the rest of her life, Green should see some lasting effects as well.

Let’s continue to hold celebrities accountable like we did with Green, because fame should never excuse someone’s actions.

letter to the editor

Pride Union encourages campus to continue discussion on bias Hanna Strong was not an isolated incident of bias on this campus. We, the executive board of Pride Union, greatly appreciate the swift response by Director of Athletics, Daryl Gross, to this example of blatant use of homophobic and racist slurs.

At the same time, we challenge all students, faculty, staff and administration to take a look around and see the amount of times this happens every day. Listen to those around you and realize that the things that Hanna Strong said were not an isolated case

of bias. We encourage you all to take up these issues, even if they are not your own, because they affect everyone.

We encourage everyone to engage in discussions of race, sexuality, gender, ability, class and more, as well as the intersections between some and all of these identities. We believe that students should not have to pick one singular identity to define them, and this movement shouldn’t either. Going forward from this, we hope to engage in more dialogue about issues of bias and oppression, and that

you all will join us.

Through this dialogue, we hope to incite change for students with marginalized identities on this campus, so that they may feel safe and supported by the entire campus community, and not just the communities they belong to. This movement begins with us. It begins with you. #SpeakUpSU #OUTspokenSU. On behalf of the Pride Union Executive Board

SU should realize importance of rankings After moving to No. 58 on the U.S. News and World Report National University rankings, four spots lower than last year, Syracuse University should make a conscious effort to care about this ranking in order to improve its standing even more in upcoming years.

The rankings are based on a formula that considers graduation and freshmen retention rates, an institution’s academic reputation, student selectivity and faculty resources, among other things.

In the 1990s, SU was ranked No. 40, but dropped to its lowest of No. 62 in 2011.

Though this ranking does not directly affect students’ time at SU, it matters to students choosing what universities to apply to and it matters post-graduation.

A school can be judged on many

factors beyond a number, but ultimately, ranking matters.

When Chancellor Kent Syverud first came to campus, he said that rankings couldn’t be ignored, though the system of ranking is imperfect.

Now that SU’s ranking has been released, the administration should use these rankings as resource to identify areas for improvement.

Something for the university to look at when considering its ranking, is the fact that individual colleges within SU are ranked highly, but the school overall is not.

The iSchool’s graduate program for Information Systems, for example, is ranked No. 1 by the U.S. News and World Report.

The U.S. News and World Report also ranks Maxwell as the

scribble

No. 1 school for public policy. The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, the School of Architecture and the College of Visual and Performing Arts also consistently rank highly in their respective fields.

To potentially improve its overall ranking, the university should work to improve all of the colleges, especially those that aren’t as highly regarded.

Though each college should have an individual identity, there should be a sense that Syracuse University as a whole is prestigious.

Moving from No. 62 to No. 58 on the U.S. News and World Report rankings is a good sign for SU. To see that number improve, the university should use the ranking as a gauge of its progress and strive for a better spot next year.

Net neutrality campaign proves why Internet must remain equal

I

n just a few short months, net neutrality went from an insider technology term to a trending topic and web-wide campaign. Monday is the deadline for protesters to comment on the Federal Communications Commission’s proposal to end net neutrality.

If that alone doesn’t prove that an open Internet is a thousand times better than a pay-for-speed system, then I don’t know what does.

The Internet belongs to the people, and the FCC shouldn’t try to change that.

In case you haven’t heard, the Internet is on the brink of a new format where wealthier companies like Comcast and Verizon can buy faster speeds of data and lower budget websites and apps are left with slower connections.

AN URBAN LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY Thanks to hilarious, yet informative, comedy sketches by FunnyOrDie and John Oliver’s rant on his HBO talk show, people that otherwise wouldn’t have any idea net neutrality was happening began learning about it.

A June 4 Washington Post article stated that after Oliver’s HBO rant, 45,000 new comments rolled in and crashed the FCC website. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings even showed his gratitude in a Facebook post last week writing, “John Oliver, we owe you!” All of this was only possible because of the viral nature of the Internet that needs to be preserved at all costs.

Videos weren’t the only form of rebellion. This past Wednesday, thousands of websites including Netflix, Reddit and Kickstarter participated in an online protest by display a spinning icon that represents a slow-loading Internet, with a link to more information about the FCC’s proposal.

This particular proposal is on track to break the record for the most public comments posted on FCC’s website since Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction, according to a Sept. 8 Huffington Post article.

Even if the proposal goes through, Comcast and Verizon should beware that angry commenters turn into angry customers, especially for two companies that are already shaky in the customer

service department.

This is just an attempt to take the power out of Internet users’ hands and I commend the online community for banding together and fighting for something we all agree on.

The Darwinistic nature of the Internet is what allows the most entertaining, silly, weird and, in this case, informative content to be spread to the masses at warped speed.

It’s what allows feel-good stories like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to sweep an entire nation in just a couple of months. It’s what allows the world to tweet about events simultaneously and experience moments together. The best of the best content rises to the top without discrimination.

Regardless of what the FCC

believes, this entire net neutrality campaign is a good sign that the Internet still belongs to the people and not Internet service providers.

The ability for anyone to have a fair shot at having their content go viral is what makes the Internet great.

We reserve the right to freedom of speeds. All data is created equal.

This entire net neutrality campaign is the perfect example of why an open Internet format is the best and only answer.

Ironically, the Internet might’ve just saved the Internet.

Near Westside workshop to host grand opening Thursday

By John Pearson contributing writer

The Syracuse Arts Learning and Technology Makerspace workshop facility at the Delevan Center in the Connective Corridor will celebrate its grand opening on Thursday, creating a new hub for creativity in Syracuse.

Started by Mike Giannattasio, a Syracuse University alumnus, SALT Makerspace is housed in a studio fully-stocked with a vast amount and variety of manufacturing tools and machines, including hammers, saws and 3-D printers.

Makerspace is a chain of creation centers with locations across the country, although the centers are located mainly in major cities. Giannattasio, however, found everything required for a successful community and manufacturing center present in Syracuse.

“I saw an opportunity that I wouldn’t have necessarily seen anywhere else,” Giannattasio said.

The Syracuse center provides the opportunity for experience and training in the art and business of manufacturing. With the option of a membership or attending a class, the center offers entry points for those with little experience as well as expert craftsmen.

The ideal SALT member would be someone with basic skills capable of teaching others. He or she would also have ideas that they would have otherwise not been able to pursue because of a lack of equipment or space, Giannattasio said.

After graduate school at SU, Giannattasio said

All the best Demo Jr. & Corina!

At the front of the line was Taylyn Washington-Harmon, a junior magazine and French dual-major, who got to Schine at 6:58 a.m.

“I’m really going for the networking opportunities,” she said. “I’m going to meet Oprah, I am going to make it happen.”

Most students hopped into line between 7:30 a.m. and 9 a.m., still hours before tickets were distributed. Many sat with their laptops and cups of coffee, chatting excitedly while they waited.

“I’m here just because I want the bragging rights, to say that I’ve been in the same room as Oprah,” said freshman Athena Sorrell. “I’ll be able to tell my kids about it one day.”

Vanderhoek said Newhouse knew there would be strong interest in the event.

“We knew that there was going to be a lot of interest in seeing her because she is by all measures one of the most known, visible, wealthy and influential people in the world,” she said.

While many admitted to wanting tickets purely to be close to a celebrity, some felt a

Led by his desire to teach interested students everything he knew, he set out to realize his vision of an arts and engineering community center.

Giannattasio spent most of the last two years organizing SALT, assembling an impressive arsenal of tools and machines through donations from the Redhouse Arts Center and auctions. A large amount of support for the new center comes from the Tech Garden, a local organization that helps entrepreneurs and startups grow as a business, he said.

Seth Mulligan, the vice president of innovation services for the Tech Garden, said he approved not only of SALT’s effect on community members, but of the potential future opportunities for cooperation with other businesses.

“There is now a large interest in product-based manufacturing businesses, rather than software or other similar areas,” Mulligan said. “With all these companies looking for manufacturing facilities, we looked for a partner in SALT where we could refer them.”

When it comes to the community, the area around SALT Makerspace is both a melting pot of cultural diversity and a hub of artistic interest, said Maarten Jacobs, director of the Near Westside Initiative.

“There are dozens of artists living and working in that neighborhood. SALT could create a kind of mini community where individuals could elevate their talents by being with others,” he said. jepearso@syr.edu

“She is the reason I decided to major in broadcast journalism. I grew up watching her show,” said Erin Kelly, a senior broadcast and digital journalism major who is also a columnist for The Daily Orange.

For others, it was a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

“I really just need a bus ticket home and they have them at the box office, but I figured while I’m here I might as well try to get a ticket to see Oprah,” said Tim Scott, a freshman broadcast and digital journalism major.

Bridget Yule, director of the student center at Newhouse, said Winfrey’s appearance at SU shows how influential Newhouse is in the communications field since so many successful people in the business will attend the ceremony.

Yule said she hopes Newhouse students attending the ceremony will be inspired by this, as well as the legacy of the school.

Gabriella Dizon, a sophomore environmental and interior design major, called Winfrey her “idol.” She got in line for her ticket at 8:30 a.m.

Dizon said she was sure the wait would be worthwhile. It is Oprah, after all, she said.

Said Dizon: “She is my everything.” cmportne@syr.edu | mglin@syr.edu

Natty Light challenge to end drinking

ale Harp’s life goal is that no one will have to follow in his footsteps.

Growing up in the Southside of Syracuse, Harp fell in with the wrong crowd and when looking back, labels himself a juvenile delinquent — something that has carried over into his adult life. After he spent time in jail, Harp quit drugs and alcohol and dedicated his life to teaching youth that the “gangster life” isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.

Harp, along with seven other residents of the Southside and Near Westside of Syracuse, will debut their photos and videos that document their everyday life in the exhibit “From Where We Stand” on Thursday at the Nancy Cantor Warehouse in downtown Syracuse.

The Stand, a community newspaper in the Southside of Syracuse, spearheaded the project. Unlike other workshops The Stand holds for Syracuse residents, “From Where We Stand” was done over the course of the summer and gave each participant a brand new Nikon 3200 DSLR camera granted by the Gifford Foundation.

After applying, each participant of the program was paired with a mentor to work with during the project. The mentors included volunteer graduate students and professors from the S.I. Newhouse see stand page 12

lthough it seemed inescapable over the summer, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has pretty much died out. Maybe it’s getting too cold, maybe there’s no one left to nominate, or maybe all of the fresh water reserves in the United States have ZACH SCHWEIKERT been used up.

Whatever KEEPIN’ IT the reason, FA KE images of those Facebook friends we barely know dumping precious natural resources on their heads in the name of activism have more or less dried up.

So what’s next?

Our generation really likes to raise awareness. Luckily for us, there are a lot of problems in the world to tackle from the comfort of our suburban backyards. One needn’t look further than the typical college campus to find a cause to rally behind, and we’ve got more than a few here.

If Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben was more like Saturday Night Live’s Drunk Uncle, he might say that with great alcohol comes great responsibility. Social development is a huge part of the college experience, and whether or not everyone wants to admit it, alcohol can play into these situations. The dangers of alcohol are widely known, and scolding isn’t going to keep anyone from doing what he or she wants to do. Being responsible — and remembering why we’re at school in the first place — should be encouraged in a fun way.

It’s easy to forget that drinking is illegal for a majority of undergraduate students, but according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, more than 80 percent of college students drink alcohol and 50 percent have been binge drinking in the past two weeks alone.

Is that a large group of people engaging in risky behavior I hear?

Sounds like it’s time for some Internet activism!

People seem to enjoy dumping stuff on their heads, so let’s go with that. Water has been taken already, so we’ll have to find some other liquid that’s plentiful on college campuses: beer. see humor page 12

Founded five years ago by Steve Davis, the newspaper and online journalism department chair, The Stand has conducted many different projects in order to bring in more community members to create a voice for the area.

“The one thing we have found over time is that when we offer people the opportunity to take photographs for the website or the newspaper, they really respond to that. Everybody has taken a picture,” Davis said.

Ashley Kang, coordinator of the “From Where We Stand” project, said the participants were all excited to share their stories.

“Everyone had the same feeling that ‘The Stand speaks to me and it talks about my community that I live in,’” Kang said. ‘“I want to participate to share my story and document my family.’”

humor Not just any beer, however. Cheap beer.

This, of course, means the ubiquitous and underwhelming king of cheap beers, Natural Light. One may argue that this is actually the same as dumping water on one’s head, due to the supposed similarities in these two liquids, but then again, I don’t technically know if the difference exists. It’s the principle I’m aiming for.

dailyorange.com pulp@dailyorange.com

Nick Lisi was the project’s lead mentor in the sense that he worked with Davis and Kang starting early last spring during the beginning stages of the project. As a group, formulated the budget and put it together.

“I worked with them with the planning and helping find mentors, as well as bouncing ideas off the material, especially with the photography part of it, which is my expertise,” Lisi said.

Lisi mentored Ardena Harvey, a single mom who documented her son’s transition from high school to college. The heart and soul of the project, Lisi said, was getting to know someone he’s never met before.

Lisi brainstormed with Harvey and made suggestions on what types of shots to take, what kinds of situations might be worth photographing and what angles she should go for.

He also taught her how to use the equipment, offering tips on how to shoot and edit photos and film video.

Harvey, who had never used a professional

If the Natty Light Challenge is going to work, it’s going to need some rules. After one has dumped a bucket of warm — yes, warm — beer upon them, they must nominate three other people to complete the challenge. The dumping and nomination processes should be filmed and uploaded to social media — just to tempt fate with future employers. In keeping with the symbolic nature of this challenge, those nominated will have 30 hours to comply, one for every beer in the case.

So how does this challenge prevent irresponsible drinking, you ask? It’s really quite

camera before, said Lisi was phenomenal and patient in being her mentor.

“I am a complete novice when it comes to technology,” Harvey said. “He showed me how to utilize the camera and its features, and he was very instrumental in helping me complete this project.”

I know locally here in Syracuse, young black men can be portrayed in a negative light.

I wanted to do something a little different for that and this was the perfect opportunity.

Ardena Harvey

“from where we stand” participant

Harvey said she first heard about “From Where We Stand” in an email from a friend, and she decided to participate in it because she wanted to portray her son, a young black man,

simple. If everyone dumps beer on their heads, there won’t be enough left for people to drink to excess, if at all. If it ain’t there, ya can’t use it. Some really sad kids may try to lick it off the ground, but that’s just always going to happen.

What about those who fail to bless their craniums with vitamin B(eer)? While the punishment of the Ice Bucket Challenge was actually more helpful than wasting water, the Natty Light Challenge has none. There is always the possibility that those who don’t comply may be digitally ostracized by their Facebook peers.

Besides, who wouldn’t want to soak themselves

in a positive way.

“I am a single parent, and I know locally here in Syracuse, young black men can be portrayed in a negative light,” Harvey said. “I wanted to do something a little different for that and this was the perfect opportunity.”

As an individual, Harvey said this project allowed her to step out of her comfort zone and gave her something to pass down to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Harvey’s son will be attending George Washington University in Washington, D.C., on a full-tuition Air Force ROTC scholarship.

This project, she said, is a token of appreciation for everyone who helped her and her son over the years.

“It really was a village that helped get him through graduation and get his supplies and let him and us travel to D.C.,” she said. “This is to give back to everyone who supported him to go to college, to reflect on it and review it in caption.” clramire@syr.edu juromero@syr.edu

in a warm, sticky, alcoholic concoction?

As for the inaugural challenge, I nominate Speaker of the House John Boehner, the forthcoming royal baby and the chancellor. That is, the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, because beer sure is popular over there. You have 30 hours.

City Market brings upscale antiques to Armory Square

By Abby Maddigan contributing writer

A

s the saying goes — “out with the old, in with the new.” But what happens when they collide?

The City Market, a new outdoor antiques market in Armory Square, hopes to combine a little bit of both.

Bruce Block has been running an antique tent in flea markets worldwide and has been an antique dealer for more than 30 years. Now, Block took it to the next step by organizing his own market.

The City Market will open Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Vendors will be lined up along West Jefferson Street until the park in front of Starbucks.

“I’ve always enjoyed the outdoor markets the best,” Block said.

Block, whose thick New York accent proves he’s from the Bronx, has always loved traveling and finding unique items. He has been to Paris, Barcelona and Nepal, and participated in specialty markets in Miami, North Carolina and New York City.

“My travels are a good excuse for me to start my own market,” Block said. “Everywhere I go, I buy things, and I am ready to show them off.”

What people might not expect is that Block’s career began as a modern dancer in New York City.

During the summer when his dance schedule was less demanding, Block would travel to Skaneateles to help out at a small antique business owned by his friend’s wife. Block said each time he worked there, he always thought he could run the store better.

As his time as a dancer came to an end, Block decided he needed something else to occupy himself and began managing the store he worked at.

“The first summer that I took over the store, we did more business every weekend than they did in an entire summer,” Block said.

Block’s success resonated with him, so he moved to Syracuse 35 years ago. He dove right in setting up for the Funky Flea market in Ithaca, opening the Antique Underground in Armory Square and teaching an antiquing class at Syracuse University.

As Block prepares for the grand opening of the City Market, he hopes that his own items, as well as the items of the 60 or more vendors, will catch

the eyes of the local community.

“It’s time for Syracuse to have a little more upscale market, but this time we’re trying to attract a younger crowd,” Block said.

The antiques that will be sold this weekend will stretch across a range of eras and styles, including midcentury and modern furniture and pieces, along with items made by industrial designers and objects dating back to the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s.

Block believes the women’s co-op from Nepal and the vintage fashion pieces by Michelle Daws will be popular among students. He also thinks students will appreciate the industrial jewelry from United by Design and the international vendors from Turkey, Morocco, India and Tibet.

“Young people aren’t always that interested in antiques,” said Block. “But we have to prove that there is still an audience out there, we just

have to adjust to what the young people want.”

In regards to more than traditional shopping and antique hunting, Block hopes that the City Market will become a staple to the city.

“This city is really coming alive,” Block said. “I hope this becomes an activity that students look forward to and that really shows them all that there is to do in Armory Square.” ammaddig@syr.edu

notre dame hands.”

The Orange came into last year’s tilt with the Fighting Irish at 3-1, but was shut out to fall to 0-2 in ACC play. The visitors dominated in that game, outshooting SU 17-4.

With Syracuse coming in with yet another strong start to its campaign, Clark said his team is itching to get back on the field.

“Obviously there’s disappointment (from the Kentucky loss), but I think good teams react to setbacks,” Clark said. “I would imagine that the team will be wishing we were playing (Tuesday), not having to wait until Saturday.”

While Clark’s side is anxious to get back on the field after a stoppage-time loss, Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre is relishing his team’s six days off after two telling away victories against Rutgers and St. John’s this past weekend.

“We’ve played a lot of soccer in a short period of time over the last week, hopefully recharge the batteries,” McIntyre said. “There’s no better program right now than Notre Dame obviously, with Coach Clark.

“For soccer fans in this part of the country, I’m sure they’re going to be excited to welcome the national champions to town.”

The attacking threat Clark had at his disposal in last year’s matchup is scaled down, he said. The departure of Harrison Shipp — a MAC Hermann Trophy Finalist and now a Chicago Fire forward — has left a hole up top that has yet to be filled.

“We’re not sure ourselves yet (of an attacking threat) because we’ve not scored enough goals yet,” Clark said.

For SU, McIntyre hasn’t had to worry about

LOUIS CROSS has played at the middle of a Syracuse back three that has yet to concede a goal through four games. The Orange defense will take on defending national champion Notre Dame on Saturday at home in its toughest test yet. logan reidsma staff photographer

any departures from his defense but instead has welcomed the return of Tyler Hilliard and the addition of the transfer Cross, two players who didn’t partake in that 3-0 loss.

The defending champions are well aware of the

obstacle SU presents, especially on the defensive end, and avoiding a two-game losing streak for the first time since November 2010 will be no easy task for the Fighting Irish.

“We’ve got a lot of respect for the Syracuse

team. Playing them in Syracuse, they’re going to be a challenge for us,” Clark said. “Obviously, we know every ACC game is a challenge and Syracuse is certainly one.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

on blocks, winning “the point of attack” and pulling to the outside were all phrases that Adam threw out to explain what the line can do better.

Take away Prince-Tyson Gulley’s 65-yard touchdown run against Villanova and Syracuse ran up the middle 19 times for 46 yards — just 2.4 yards per carry.

The early-season goal-line problems are a bit of deja vu for the Orange. With Doug Marrone and Nathaniel Hackett calling the offensive shots in 2012, Syracuse couldn’t punch it in during a 1-3 start. That’s when Marrone

and Hackett introduced the Tank package, which put Ameen-Moore at running back and linebacker Lewellyn Coker at fullback.

Ameen-Moore ran for five touchdowns on 30 carries in the rest of that season, scoring on 16.7 percent of his touches and helping the Orange jump from a middling Big East team to Pinstripe Bowl champions at year’s end.

The running back said Tuesday evening that he’s sure that there will be “some” schematic changes ahead of the Central Michigan game, but didn’t know specifics since goal-line work is done on Wednesdays before games. He added, though, that the situation is different this time around.

“That was the 32 package and against Villanova we were in an 11 package,” Ameen-Moore said, referring to SU packages that vary by personnel. “But at the same time there were a lot of growing pains with the (Tank package) as well. The first game I got in in 2012, we caught them off guard but then the next game they started to stop us.

“It’s a growing pains thing.”

Ameen-Moore said that holes were closing fast and that he was allowing his knee to get bumped by the Wildcats’ front. Adam added he was “disappointed” with how his offensive line performed.

The first-year coach wasn’t sure if the breadth of the problem makes it easier or harder to mend, but did acknowledge that an answer — Tank package or not — does exist.

“There’s really no wondering why we weren’t successful,” Adam said. “Trust me, we’re definitely working on it.”

“They wanted to go home and play with their cousin as they started their high school years,” James said. “I decided to go ahead and retire so they could go home and play football with their cousin.”

In their time at Port Huron (Michigan) High School, all three garnered team MVP honors.

When colleges came looking for Jarret, it wasn’t anything football-related that first opened his eyes to CMU, though.

His elder cousin, Josh, was a freshman at Central Michigan at the time. Jarret and Mark’s oldest brother, Kalvin, was set to attend Michigan State. But once Josh convinced Kalvin to take a visit to Central Michigan, Kalvin was sold and the dominoes for the rest of the family started falling.

Neither Kalvin, a fifth-year senior, or Josh, who graduated last year, played football at CMU, but after taking a visit to Mount Pleasant at Kalvin’s suggestion, Jarret bought in as well.

When he finally got an offer after his senior season of football, Jarret didn’t even take 24 hours to make his decision. Then Winslow

“A lot of people say maybe I had my hand in it. I did not,” James said. “It had more or less to do with (Kalvin). I figure whoever gets (Jarret) first, then the two may follow and that’s the way it went.”

CMU head coach Dan Enos has completed recruiting the trifecta of Chapmans that were on his radar. Enos said Jarret gave the other two a birds-eye view of how the program was run and that it’s a testament to CMU football to have three relatives commit in succession.

While Jarret possesses physicality and toughness as a safety, he said Mark is a do-it-all speed threat and Winslow is an all-around athlete. Enos also added that all three bring valuable intangibles on the field, but it may be their value off it that speaks to the highest volume.

“They’re great young men. They’re all outstanding students,” Enos said. “They’re really the epitome of what we’re trying to recruit in this program.”

Having a brother and a cousin in the same locker room keeps the mood loose, Jarret said.

When Enos calls on Jarret in team meetings, Winslow will answer and confuse Enos before he realizes one is trying to imitate the other.

While it may simply be another laugh in a different locker room, it’s just a microcosm of the daily benefits that come from wearing the same jersey as two other family members.

“It always brings a good environment, knowing I got family on the team,” Jarret said. “It really helps days during the grind of football practice and everything, knowing my brother is here, my cousin is here.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

Time machine: Syracuse blows out CMU at home in 1999 Editor’s note: This story was originally published on Sept. 13, 1999, and was written by former sports editor John Jiloty. Some of the story was cut to fit in print. See the full version on dailyorange.com.

Syracuse’s extended preseason officially came to a close Saturday The Orangemen made it 2-0 against their weak MAC compatriots, thrashing Central Michigan 47-7 in front of 45,563 in the Carrier Dome.

After beating up the equally unqualified Toledo Rockets 35-12 last week, SU steps up the level of competition next week and brings No. 5 Michigan to the Dome.

While the competition has not been stellar, Syracuse took the two contests to try some things out and work out its roster, top to bottom, before facing the Wolverines.

Saturday looked similar to last week in Toledo, as SU coasted on offense and dominated on defense, building a comfortable lead and allowing a laundry list of players to see action.

Syracuse piled up 495 yards on offense, blocked a punt for a touchdown on special teams and totaled eight tackles for a loss on defense.

Senior Quinton Spotwood had a break-out game, notching 135 yards on six catches for two touchdowns. Troy Nunes again posted efficient passing numbers, going 8-for-13 for 170 yards and three TDs. The rout marked the first time since 1993 the Orangemen won their home opener.

“I think we have some confidence,” head coach Paul Pasqualoni said. “Tonight was good to get on track and really be explosive

and score the number of points we did. I think we have as much confidence as two wins can give you. I think the kids are looking forward to preparing this week for Michigan.”

One of the primary sparks of that explosion was Spotwood, who was dormant last week against the Rockets. The senior comes off a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered last season against Cincinnati.

After catching no passes and gaining only five yards on three punt returns last week, Spotwood displayed the game-breaking ability that made him an All-American punt returner in 1997.

Spotwood gave SU a 17-0 lead with just over two minutes to play in the first quarter, slowing up to catch an under-thrown Nunes pass and taking it 56 yards into the end zone. Then in the second quarter on third and 29 from the CMU 43-yard line, Spotwood caught a 15-yard bullet from Nunes, faked out Brian Leigeb and Tedaro France and then outraced Wayne Dudley to the sideline and into the end zone.

Spotwood had another pretty touchdown called back in the second half.

“I think I look at it differently,” Spotwood said.

“In 1997, I was looking to catch the ball. Now I look to score when I catch it.”

Syracuse came out quickly against the Chipps, building a 17-0 first-quarter lead after Dee Brown’s opening 41-yard scamper on the first series. Brown’s legs and Nunes’ arm combined to lead the Orangemen on six of the nine first-half series.

At halftime, Brown racked up 69 yards on seven carries and Nunes threwfor 135 yards

on 5-of-7 completions. The running back didn’t play in the second half because of a leg injury, which he said was not serious.

Nunes fired a third-down bullet to Pat Woodcock for the first touchdown on Syracuse’s first drive of the night. SU stalled on the next drive as Leigeb batted away Nunes’ pass on third down. But Syracuse came back, this time with Madei Williams, and Nate Trout hit a field goal to make it 10-0.

Two Spotwood scores and a Jamarl O’Neal touchdown for CMU sandwiched a rare backto-back fumble in the second quarter. Woodcock fumbled the kickoff return after the touchdown, giving Central Michigan the ball at the SU 37-yard line. But Donald Dinkins forced a Pete Shepherd fumble on the next play, and Rickie Simpkins dove on the loose pigskin to regain possession. Another Trout field goal with three seconds left in the half gave SU a comfortable 34-7 halftime lead.

The revolving door of quarterbacks continued, but Nunes again appeared to boast an edge over Williams. Brown did not see any snaps behind center. Of SU’s 11 offensive series, Nunes quarterbacked seven, including four of the first five and the first two of the second half.

The Nunes-led Orangemen scored 28 points and accounted for 306 yards.Williams helped engineer scoring drives of 50 and 80 yards in the second half. And after fumbling away three balls against Toledo, he appeared to have more confidence and a better handle with his injured pinky against CMU. But Nunes showed poise and creativity similar to his play in the Toledo game, helping ignite

the first-half offensive outburst and going 6-for8 on third downs. The redshirt freshman even, gasp, drew comparisons to Donovan McNabb from Spotwood.

“I gotta tell you, sometimes when he starts to scramble I get a little nervous,” Pasqualoni said.

“But the thing that he’s done, he’s taken care of the ball. He’s used real good judgement and he’s made real, real good decisions with the ball. And that has turned out to be productive.”

The defense also played a solid game, despite working without injured Dwight Freeney and suspended Keith Bulluck. The senior co-captain missed the game early in the week for violating team rules.

Bulluck was certainly the biggest cheerleader on the sideline, and his absence helped fire up the defense. Senior Matt Klaus and true freshman Clifton Smith filled in for Bulluck, while Dinkins moved out to end to replace Freeney.

The linebacking unit led the way, as Marlon Greenwood, Vernon Banks and Klaus combined for 20 tackles, including two for losses. Smith played well in his first collegiate action, registering four tackles, including one on his first play.

The defense did not allow the Chips to break into Syracuse territory until their fifth series. CMU ran six more plays than SU, but managed only 241 yards and went 4-of-15 on third downs.

“I think our defense proved something, that we are not just a one-man defense,” said Dinkins, who notched one of SU’s three sacks.

“This is a great unit and we showed that today.”

Shafer: No time frame for TEs Parris, Enoicy to return

By Phil D’Abbraccio asst. sports editor

Syracuse (1-0) head coach Scott Shafer gave a brief update Wednesday on the progress of tight end Josh Parris and wide receiver Adly Enoicy, who are both recovering from surgery on lower-body injuries and won’t play at Central Michigan (2-0) at noon on Saturday.

“They’re both doing well, but we have not set a timeline on either of those guys yet,” Shafer said during the Atlantic Coast Conference coaches’ teleconference. “All I can tell you is they’re both doing well and progressing and won’t be playing against Central Michigan.”

Kendall Moore, an offensive linemanturned-tight end, caught the game-winning touchdown pass in Syracuse’s season opener against Villanova. It appears he’ll still be the Orange’s go-to tight end for the foreseeable future.

In the absences of Parris and Enoicy, Moore has risen to the top of the depth chart at tight end, followed by freshman Jamal Custis and sophomore Tyler Provo.

Moore’s 1-yard touchdown reception — on a fake field goal, thrown by punter Riley Dixon — was the only pass completed to a tight end during the Orange’s season opener.

Shafer scouts Central Michigan offense, looks ahead to 9-week stretch Scott Shafer is quite familiar with the brand of football that’s played in the Mid-American Conference.

He spent nine seasons as an assistant coach in the conference, so he knows what to expect from the Chippewas.

“Good, physical football team. Got after a Big Ten team with no problem and beat Purdue,” Shafer said on the teleconference. “They run the ball extremely well. They get into two-back situations where they run a lot of lead plays, both strong and weak.

“They’ve had a lot of success rushing that football.”

Through two games, Central Michigan has averaged 154.5 rushing yards per game and scored three rushing touchdowns.

Senior tailback Thomas Rawls, a Michigan transfer, has led the charge in the running game for CMU with back-to-back games of 120-plus rushing yards.

“He’s playing extremely well,” Shafer said.

“Physical, downhill runner, so we’re going to have to match that with our defensive effort.

And their quarterback’s managed the game extremely well. He’s done a nice job taking what the defense has given him. He doesn’t try to force things.”

Chippewas’ quarterback Cooper Rush has completed 26-of-42 attempts thus far for nearly a 62 percent completion rate. He has thrown for 345 yards and four touchdowns to just one interception.

The Saturday matchup with CMU kicks off at noon and starts a stretch of nine consecutive weeks of games for Syracuse until its next bye week.

Having the bye week so early in the season is what it is, Shafer said, and the Orange

will have to just move forward. If SU’s injuries heal in time for Saturday’s game, Shafer pointed out, some players will have only missed one game, not two.

“You’ve got to try to look at the silver lining, I guess. That’s how we’re going to approach it,” he said. “Now we have a long haul, nine straight, but that’s kind of the way it used to be when I first started coaching.

The good thing is, you just get into a rhythm and get into that grind mode.

“It’s all kind of the things that you love as a coach, to be quite honest with you.”

Shafer discusses adjustments during recruiting process Recruiting became a brief topic during Shafer’s teleconference.

A reporter asked a question regarding Syracuse’s approach to recruiting wide receivers considering the departure of H-back Corey Coo-

Now we have a long haul, nine straight, but that’s kind of the way it used to be when I first started coaching.

per, who announced his decision to transfer last month, and the academic ineligibility of fourstar prospect K.J. Williams, who was supposed to join Syracuse in time for this season.

Syracuse has interest in 10 uncommitted wide receivers in the Class of 2015, according to Scout.com. Shafer didn’t address the wide receiver spectrum specifically, but offered some insight to his mind as a recruiter.

“In this day and age, it’s very fluid. It never finishes where it starts,” Shafer said. “You have to be in the mode of being able to adjust as things come up — injuries, transfers, positional moves. I tell my guys all the time we’re going into the season with a plan and then we’ll readjust as we move forward depending upon all those factors that you have to take into account.”

Although Syracuse has gathered what it has of the class in record time, the Orange only has one pass-catcher, West Lindor — a two-star tight end — verbally pledged to its Class of 2015. On the current roster, Syracuse has a freshman wideout in Steve Ishmael and two freshmen tight ends in Adly Enoicy and Jamal Custis.

“For us, it’s fluid and it’ll be ever-changing and moving, as it will be for a lot of recruits as well,” Shafer said. “That’s the reality of what it is. Never a dull moment.” pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb

Skilton’s international experience fuels SU success

By Liam Sullivan staff writer

Phil Wheddon often encourages his players to play internationally in hopes that they’ll return to Syracuse ready to embrace a larger role.

In the case of Stephanie Skilton, who played in the FIFA U-20 World Cup with New Zealand this past summer, those upnext expectations are heightened.

VS Colgate Last season as a @ Beyer-Small ‘76 Field freshman, SkilThursday, 7 p.m. ton led Syracuse in both goals with nine and points with 19.

And she’s picked up where she left off.

Through only six games, Skilton has scored five goals and recorded 11 points, well on her way to surpassing her totals from last season.

After SU’s home game against Connecticut on Sept. 1, the Orange began a seven-game road swing. Syracuse’s next road tilt will be on Thursday against Colgate (3-1-1) at 7 p.m. in Hamilton, New York, and the sophomore forward plans to continue utilizing her international experience to produce results.

“I don’t really feel like I get nervous for games anymore because I’ve got that experience,” Skilton said. “Being on the world stage and playing on that high level is going to mean so much to be able to bring it out on the field here.”

As the starting center forward for New Zealand, Skilton helped her home country reach the quarterfinals of the U-20 World Cup — which were held in Canada — for the first time in history. She scored two goals in four games for the team before it eventually fell to Nigeria on Aug. 17.

Wheddon said that gaining international experience and playing against some of the best players in the world shows that Skilton can

compete with anyone.

“I challenged her to take on a more vocal leadership role,” said Wheddon. “Sometimes when you come back from an international experience, sometimes it can be a step down and you get frustrated with the level of play.

But Steph hasn’t done that.

“She’s been great helping the other players.”

Skilton feels more confident talking with her teammates this year, both on and off the field. The team is working on its cohesion and being clinical in receiving and scoring the ball in front of the goal, all of which rely heavily on communication.

The summer playing against the world’s best only helped further develop her skills and increase her confidence. Wheddon believes that Skilton is doing a good job using her increased sense of confidence passing on those skills, which include reading pressure and knowing where to go with her first touch on the ball.

Not only has she helped other members of the team improve, but also improved as an individual player.

“Steph’s always been good at scoring goals, but she’s gotten even better,” sophomore defender Maddie Iozzi said. “It’s huge to have her back. We need goal scorers and she’s a big part of that. Even if she’s not part of the goal scoring, she’s usually a big part of the play that leads to them.”

Skilton believes the experience with New Zealand this summer was similar to playing in the United States. The main difference is that collegiate American soccer is slower than international play.

But Skilton isn’t going to let a slower tempo stop her.

“It doesn’t matter where you are,” Skilton said. “You just have to play to win the game.” lpsull01@syr.edu

Nation-high 37 seniors lead UTSA in program’s 4th season

By Connor Grossman staff writer

It was referred to as the F-word. A joke all along, but some around the athletic offices of the University of Texas at San Antonio couldn’t muster the courage to utter the word that had been a dream in the works for nine years: “Football.”

In a movement spearheaded by UTSA athletic director Lynn Hickey and president Ricardo Romo, the football program that was nothing more than a concept five years ago is now rising to national prominence.

“They were committed to creating the program here and starting football right,” UTSA Larry Coker said, “and I thought it had a chance.

“There’s no guarantees, but I thought it had a chance.”

Coker, a former national champion with Miami, is now at the helm of a team with 37 seniors, the most of any college football team in the country.

Many of them bought into a dream pitched to them five years ago when there wasn’t a football field to play on and they had no other offers to play.

They played well enough to advance the program into Conference USA and turn a projected lastplace finish in 2013 into a 6-2 second-place team.

That was just the opening act for the seniors’ grand finale. Coker and his veteran team are about to complete a four-year odyssey that started with a single football helmet and, they hope, concludes with more than 80 of them raised in the air celebrating a conference championship.

At the infant stages of the program in 2010, the team practiced at San Antonio Northside Independent School District field for a year. There

were no facilities at UTSA. There were makeshift jerseys purchased by Coker from a local store, but no official team uniforms. The coaches met in a trailer with cubicles in it, as no formal offices for them had been built.

Football was an outlandish idea to Hickey when she was hired as athletic director in 2000.

Hickey said the best-selling T-shirt in the student center was one that read: “UTSA Football, Still Undefeated.” There was no football team at the time, but the cries for change were becoming louder in the late 2000s.

“It became very obvious that (UTSA) had an identity problem,” Hickey said. “The kids wanted campus life.”

Romo and the athletic department worked tirelessly for several years to satisfy Title IX regulations and meet every bureaucratic standard that needed to be met. Coker was selected out of three coaching finalists and announced as the first head coach in program history on March 6, 2009.

Coker and his newly hired assistant coaches immediately hit the recruiting trail and built an inaugural class of 18. They sought to recruit the best athletes regardless of what positions they played.

Starting senior center Nate Leonard turned an invitation to a 400-person high school senior tryout camp into the only scholarship offer he would receive — much like almost every other player who was recruited.

“We were just a rag-tag group of guys,” Leonard said. “What I love to tell people is that we were a group of guys who nobody wanted.

“No one.”

Coker gave Leonard a recruiting pitch built on hopes and dreams, and bedazzled by the national

LARRY COKER led the startup of Texas-San Antonio’s football program. Now he boasts a senior class of 37 in the team’s fourth year. courtesy of utsa athletics

championship ring on his finger.

Now, that pitch is reinforced with top-notch football facilities, a respectable conference to play in and endless stories that run a theme of “this is how far we’ve come and look where we’re going.”

The national championship ring still makes an occasional appearance, too.

“I think he wears it around once in a while to give us an awakening and inspire us a little bit,” senior quarterback Tucker Carter said. “Plus it’s hard to miss that thing when he’s walking around.”

The “rag-tag” group of seniors has plenty of reasons to play inspired. In what will be their final hurrah, this is the most complete team UTSA has fielded with five recruiting classes worth of talent.

A diehard fan base that set an NCAA record for the largest single-season attendance for a start-up

program — 56,743 — backs these players as much as the coaches that recruited them.

The Roadrunners are ranked the 51st-best football program out of 128 Football Bowl Subdivision schools on Football Outsider’s F/+ rankings. They’re outperforming storied programs like West Virginia and California, both of which have been around much longer than four years.

The motto this year is straight to the point, and might be considered a stretch for a program of any age.

“Rings or bust.”

“Our dream from the beginning of when we got here was to win,” Leonard said. “That hasn’t changed and will not change. What it means to us this year is to win the conference and a bowl game.” cgrossma@syr.edu

SO FAR this season, Syracuse’s goal-line offense has struggled

By Jesse Dougherty sports editor

S

yracuse offensive line coach Joe Adam calls it the “point of attack.” The split second when the ball is hiked and the offensive line has a chance to create holes and free up running space.

In an opening-night win against Villanova, the goal-line “point of attack” belonged to the Wildcats.

The result was five straight failed attempts at the end zone and the Orange’s first hurdle of the season.

“Every game there are going to be one or two plays and it was unfortunate that those one or two plays

happened down on the goal-line situation,” SU offensive coordinator George McDonald said. “We had good looks, we had good plays. We didn’t execute to the ability that we were supposed to.”

Adonis Ameen-Moore failed to reach the end zone five times from within the 3-yard line against the Wildcats and blames himself for the Orange’s (1-0) short-yardage woes, but there is more to the picture.

Adam said he was “a little pissed off” with SU’s results in that area and

that improving upon them has been his major focus in the two weeks since Syracuse narrowly escaped a Villanova upset.

The Orange heads to Mount Pleasant, Michigan, to face Central Michigan (2-0) at noon on Saturday after the Chippewas held Purdue to 3.6 yards per carry in a CMU win last week.

Chapmans provide CMU with family atmosphere

By Matt Schneidman asst. copy editor

Jarret Chapman jokes that the “C” on his helmet stands for his last name, not his team’s name.

While many college football teams say they’re a “big family,” Jarret, a senior defensive back, says Central Michigan is actually one — both figuratively and literally.

In addition to Chapman, the Chippewas have his brother Mark, a redshirt freshman wide receiver, and their cousin Winslow, a redshirt sophomore defensive back. After Jarret and Mark moved from San Diego so all three could play high school together, the three fed each other’s appetite to compete at the Division I level.
