Those in attendance at the #SpeakUpSU forum on Friday afternoon saw the event as a positive first step to promoting change on campus. But they agreed it was just that: a first step.

The event, which was held in Grant Auditorium, was organized by the campus chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and lasted nearly three hours. Most of the discussion focused on different marginalized identities at Syracuse University and coming up with concrete points that could be used to implement changes.

“The main goal was to create a safe space to talk about issues and let people voice their opinions without being judged,” said Brianna Dutton, the press and publicity co-chair for the Syracuse chapter of the NAACP. Dutton said she thought the event went even better than expected. There were people with a lot of diverse backgrounds in attendance, and many SU community members besides students showed up.

Entrepreneur designs, sells athletic equipment

By Alex Erdekian asst. copy editor

When Danny Goldberg showed his trainer the first pair of boxing gloves he created, Val Stoyanov had just a few words for him: “These gloves are golden.”

Golden Gear was then born.

The senior information management major founded his company Golden Gear, an athletic equipment company with a focus on fighting gear, in 2009.

Goldberg began practicing Muay Thai, a martial art, at age 11. It was his involvement in fighting that inspired him to create Golden Gear.

After sustaining several injuries, and getting 14 stitches above his eye, Goldberg reasoned that his equipment was not doing its job to protect him.

This insight motivated him to design better gear for fighters and to sell it.

“We always say that we want to help athletes overcome the obstacles of being human,” Goldberg said.

By being directly involved in combat fighting, Goldberg said he knew what separated a good product from a great product.

“Being involved in such a physical sport teaches you about life and business in general.

Combat sports and martial arts teach you to go after your goals,” Goldberg said. “If you want something, you need to work for it. Nothing comes easy.”

When Goldberg was named No. 6 in a list of “America’s Coolest College Startups 2014” by Inc. Magazine, he was contacted by Diamond MMA, a company that sells jockstraps. They then hired him to be a partner in their business. Goldberg will start working full-time in May. In the meantime, the business model of Golden Gear will transition to selling more custom-made gear and luxury products.

He advises college students who are also aspiring entrepreneurs to start a business now because of the environment SU provides. He said college is a great time to make mistakes, because if your idea doesn’t work out, you can go back to being a student.

Goldberg said: “You don’t learn from succeeding really, you only learn from failures.” aerdekia@syr.edu

College inaugurates 4th president, looks ahead

By Hanna Horvath contributing writer

Quentin Wheeler was inaugurated as the fourth president of SUNY-ESF Friday in Hendricks Chapel.

The inauguration ceremony highlighted Wheeler’s accomplishments and celebrated the future of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry under his leadership.

Notable persons in the audience included Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud, SUNY Chan-

cellor Nancy Zimpher and former SUNY-ESF President Cornelius Murphy. Much of the ceremony included speeches from students and faculty alike, expressing praise for the new president.

“I am honored by the trust you have placed in me,” Wheeler said, “humbled to follow in the footsteps of those who have built this special institution and eager to accept the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.”

In his speech, Wheeler captured his passion for environmental sci-

ence and discussed many of the environmental issues plaguing the world and vowing to equip ESF students with the knowledge to tackle those problems.

In addition to the Friday ceremony, a campus picnic, a Presidential Roast, an academic symposium and a bioblitz were all held as part of inauguration weekend.

The academic symposium was held on Thursday, Sept. 11 at the SUNY-ESF Gateway Center, with Thomas Lovejoy, a senior fellow at the United Nations Foundation,

providing the keynote address. The bioblitz was held from 3 p.m. Friday to 3 p.m. Saturday at Onondaga Lake. Scientists were to catalog every species they discovered in the 24 hours on the lake. There were 861 total observations and 428 species found, according to SUNY-ESF’s results.

Before coming to SUNY-ESF, Wheeler was a professor at Cornell University for nearly 25 years and he served as the vice president and dean of the College of Liberal Arts

CRIME

All charges dropped in SU campus graffiti case

By Annie Palmer staff writer

Two former Student Association members will no longer face felony charges for spray-painting anti-university messages on several Syracuse University buildings if they are able to stay out of trouble for six months.

Sawyer Cresap, former chair of SA’s Student Engagement Committee, and former recorder Nick Bonafilia were both charged with crim-

inal mischief in the second degree and the misdemeanor of making graffiti. Last December, the pair spraypainted cryptic messages such as “$57,000 to take your finals” outside of Eggers Hall and “#1 in communication, last in free speech” on the side of Newhouse III. The vandalism caused more than $5,700 in damage.

At a hearing Thursday afternoon, Joe Gorgoni, Cresap’s lawyer, said she had completed more than 200 hours of community service for organiza-

tions including Habitat for Humanity and ReStore and also wrote a letter of apology. Because she “did everything she was supposed to,” her charges will most likely be dropped at the case’s adjournment in six months.

Cresap and Bonafilia were both absent from the hearing because they didn’t have to attend, said Ken Christopher, Bonafilia’s lawyer. Gorgoni did not return a phone call and when reached Thursday, Cresap said she did not want to comment.

Christopher said Bonafilia will see the same outcome if he “has no issues” in the next six months. He completed 237 hours of “researchbased” community service with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Vera House and several other non-profit organizations and also wrote a letter of apology.

Bonafilia also paid back more than $4,000, Christopher said.

Bonafilia did not return a phone call,

Kardashian family fame stems from self-promotion, not talent

T

he Kardashians have become synonymous with low-brow entertainment.

And whether you love them or hate them, you cannot deny that their E! reality TV empire has launched the family into the stardom stratosphere.

Just this past week the trailer for their newest spinoff “Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons” aired, sealing the deal that we won’t go but a few weeks without a Kardashian fix. The family’s wacky antics, openness with their audience and constant self-promotion has earned them a spot as our cultural currency.

Their clout is unmatched and they will retain their celebrity status for a long time to come. If you don’t like it, get used to it.

What makes the Kardashian family so popular is its overexposure. Our social habits have changed from local to virtual — we have become less present in our physical world and

ERIN G. KELLY

MASS MEDIATED as a result more engaged in our virtual one.

As Robert Putnam describes in his critically acclaimed book “Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of the American Community”, civic engagement and social capital are lower than ever before. We are more invested in the lives of people whom we have never met than people who we are in contact with everyday. This change of American community has forced our hand in our social interactions.

We no longer gossip about our neighbors.

It’s not that we have risen above the gossip.

Our brains are hardwired for it. It allows us to share information, learn about people we’ve never met and form closer friendships

with one another. If we want to make causal chitchat and gossip with our peers, we have to reach further than our local neighborhood.

We have to look toward Hollywood — and the Kardashians are there to guide us.

You don’t have to tune in to the family’s reality show to learn about the Kardashian’s lives. The sisters’ faces are plastered all over gossip magazines and tabloids, they all have huge followings on Twitter and Instagram and their names are attached to clothing lines, nail polishes and even books. They are everywhere.

The Kardashians will be first to tell you that all press is good press. “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” was launched back in 2007 on the heels of Kim Kardashian’s sex tape scandal; instead of hiding in the shadows they embraced their 10 minutes of fame. And look where it’s gotten them. Now the network devotes programming to the family’s latest woes and constantly obsesses over who will be the next

to marry, get divorced or have a baby. All of this attention fuels the family’s accessibility.

This constant inundation with all things Kardashian has solidified its spot as cultural currency. Unless the Kardashians decide to leave the spotlight, it doesn’t look as if we’ll be rid of them any time soon. Our interactions as viewers and fans make us feel like we know the Kardashians, like they are friends rather than strangers. And as a result, we can’t help but obsess over them.

The thought of another Kardashian spin off has already gotten criticism from some disgruntled viewers who claim that “Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons” does not deserve the spotlight, but whether we like it or not, the Kardashians are in it for the long haul.

NFL team owners ignore morality in favor of teams’ success

I

n April of 2014, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice threw a punch across his fiancé’s face in the elevator of a luxury casino resort, and moments later dragged her unconscious body out of the elevator. He received a two game suspension for his actions, to take place at the beginning of the 2014-15 season.

Had this suspension been maintained, Rice would be starting next weekend. He was finally suspended indefinitely last week after a surveillance video of the incident, which the league was reported to have seen months ago, was made available to the public.

The Internet exploded with resentment over the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell’s fumbling of the Ray Rice case. Anger was rampant and pervasive. Keith Olbermann called for Goodell to be fired for Rice’s laughable two-game suspension, and reports are emerging that NFL administration saw the gruesome elevator surveillance video prior to its recent release on TMZ. Let’s be clear that Goodell has flubbed just

PHIL KRAMER

MORE THAN MONEY

about every major challenge that has come his way in his time as commissioner, whether it comes in the form of drug policy or player safety. But the issue is less about Goodell in the same way that problems in America can’t always be attributed to the president.

The underlying cause for the lack of punishments and suspensions for players that commit crimes is team owners’ motivation to produce better football and make money.

As long as the many millions of fans keep demanding good football games and splurging on season tickets, they have little reason to change that, for now.

The league’s lethargic response to serious charges against its players is disappointing.

But there is a long documented history of the players entangling themselves with the law and still being able to suit up on Sundays.

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch just won a Super Bowl with a pending DUI charge from 2012 on his back. After his crushing 42-8 win over the Denver Broncos, he quietly settled by pleading guilty to reckless driving and is starting this season. Former Patriots defensive back Alfonzo Dennard assaulted a police officer and subsequently received a DWI. He never missed a game.

The encouraging news is that Greg Hardy of the Carolina Panthers was benched this Sunday after being found guilty in July of assault on his ex-girlfriend.

It’s safe to assume that the media coverage of Rice’s debacle played a part in that decision. Whether Hardy will play in the following weeks is yet to be seen. The Carolina Panthers have every opportunity to suspend him with pay until his appeal is heard on Nov. 17. But owner Jerry Richardson likely places more value in Hardy’s production on the field than he does in protecting the moral fiber of the NFL. Keeping a star lineman off the field for two months is a big risk to the team, but it

would satisfy the outcries.

Rice’s case was infuriating, and Goodell will be taking the heat for it. There is a possibility he will resign if it’s proven he had seen the video prior to giving the two-game suspension, which he denies. But contrary to what his $44.2 million yearly salary would indicate, Goodell’s role is submissive to the coalition of the 32 team owners in the league.

So Goodell may resign, or he may not. It really isn’t relevant. He is mostly subservient to the decision-making power of the owners of the franchises, and those owners care about two things: delivering quality football and maintaining the financial capabilities of their organizations. Morality comes in somewhere further down the line. Keep an eye on Hardy’s status over the next few weeks and we’ll see just how far.

letter to the editor

Syracuse University must further address Hanna Strong incident By now, the racist and homophobic language spewed by Syracuse University soccer team player Hanna Strong has become well known across campus, national and international communities. To be sure, the video is brief and little publicly is known about the entire circumstances of Strong’s interactions with the others in the group, including the African-American man whom she specifically addressed.

What is clear, however, is that the student chose her words deliberately and felt secure in knowing what language was most offensive and dehumanizing within the hierarchy of race, sexual orientation and other intersectional identities in the United States. This is not a proud moment for Syracuse University.

The university has responded swiftly

with an investigation, student suspension from the soccer team and a call for increased “tolerance for difference.” But this much also should be clear: This incident is not about a single student uttering hateful speech. It is the latest episode within a pervasive culture involving racist, homophobic and misogynist behavior by students and other members of Syracuse University. Thus the question of tolerance for difference is embedded with assumptions based on race, gender and sexual orientation and begs the questions “different from whom?” and “tolerance by whom of whom?” Repeated investigations or punishment of individual students hardly address core issues while institutional structures remain in place in the face of declining numbers of students, faculty and staff of color and

while members of gender and sexual minorities are marginalized.

The university’s response must go further, much further, lest we remain in an endless spiral of offense and punishment and return to the status quo until the next incident. A more lasting result requires less focus on individuals’ behavior and greater focus on institutional climate and practices in which such behavior can thrive. Beyond the glare of embarrassing social media, this institution must ask and answer why and how such behavior is possible at Syracuse University and must take steps to become anti-racist-sexist-homophobic in a broader, respectful and more inclusive approach to all its constituents. We do not seek a tolerant university, but a just one.

editorial board

#SpeakUpSU must not lose momentum In the wake of the Hanna Strong incident, students have led the discussion on racism and homophobia on campus. Though the initial wave of activism is promising, students cannot expect change to happen overnight. In order to make a difference on campus, forums like the #SpeakUpSU event must continue, but as more than just a knee-jerk reaction to a relevant issue.

Last Friday, the campus chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held the #SpeakUpSU event to provide a place for faculty, staff, students and members of the community to discuss their opinions on the different marginalized identities at SU. Though more than 100 people attended, one student brought up the point that the same student leaders are participating

@CamilaLPerez Really wish I was #SpeakUpSU forum right now!! So glad there is conversation about these topics on campus.

in the discussions, but the students and faculty who could benefit the most from the discussion don’t.

Students can’t be forced to care about something. That is why it is so important for those student leaders actively discussing the issues on campus to continue to have these conversations with the student body not only in the upcoming weeks, but in the upcoming years.

Two years ago, a similar event to #SpeakUpSU took place at Hendricks Chapel after a student raised concerns about diversity on campus. Healing the Scars served as a forum for students to discuss concerns about self-segregation, professors tokenizing minority students and other issues regarding diversity. The event was widely publicized and attended by students, but it only occurred once.

scribble

Healing the Scars was an excellent example of student-led discussion that aimed to solve a problem.

But it is also an example of how momentum can easily fade after a strong initial push for change.

Students have another chance to create a steady wave of change, rather than just an initial movement. It is easier to attract participants in these discussions directly after an incident occurs. The bigger challenge will be for organizers and students to continue the discussion on a large scale in a week, month or year from now.

As time continues to elapse after the Hanna Strong incident, students might begin to forget the incident’s significance. It is up to those leading the #SpeakUpSU movement to ensure that the fire sparked by Strong’s offensive language does not burn out.

Obama’s plan to combat ISIS has holes, needs major improvements

L

ast Wednesday, President Barack Obama laid out his plan to combat Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. His plan wasn’t too radical in terms of details. It mainly relies on bombing ISIS in Iraq and Syria — even though Syria has repeatedly said no to the U.S. bombing ISIS in Syria — and creating a “coalition” of allies against ISIS. However, his plan has three gaping holes that might unravel it before it even starts.

One flaw in his plan is the arming of the Free Syrian Army. The FSA was started as a secular resistance against President of Syria Bashar Al-Assad’s brutal and authoritarian regime. However, now the FSA is mostly made up of various Islamic extremist groups and terror cells, with analysts reporting that there are virtually no moderates left in the FSA, according to a June 27 article

from the Independent. If there were moderates, making sure the arms don’t fall into terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda, who are members of the FSA, would be nearly impossible. We don’t want to arm them only to have to come back 10–15 years later and fight them in Syria.

On Friday, according to Agence France-Presse, ISIS announced it would devote more resources to fighting al-Assad and has a ceasefire with the “moderate” Syrian rebels.

Then on Saturday, Middle East Eye reported that, “The Free Syrian Army has announced that it will not sign up to the U.S.-led coalition to destroy Islamic State militants

in Iraq and Syria.” The FSA stated it will only work with the U.S.-led coalition only with “a guarantee that the U.S. is committed to his (al-Assad) overthrow.” While al-Assad is a brutal tyrant who uses chemical weapons against his own people, ISIS creating alliances with the “moderates” Obama wants to arm is not good at all. The war is shifting under Obama’s feet, with ISIS and FSA joining to fight against al-Assad.

The second is that Obama doesn’t want boots on the ground; this is a purely political move as he fears American war-weariness. However, military analysts repeatedly state that ISIS cannot be defeated without ground forces rooting them out and taking their territory.

In an August press conference, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said, “They’re beyond just a terrorist group.

They marry ideology, a sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess. They are tremendously well-funded,” he said. “This is beyond anything that we’ve seen.” ISIS isn’t the JV team Obama has said they were. They are going to require a real commitment from the U.S. and arming militants with unclear allegiances is not the way to handle ISIS. The third problem with Obama’s plan to form a coalition to fight ISIS, is that while many groups are fighting ISIS, there isn’t enough to bring these groups together. The FSA and the Kurds — a staunch ally of the U.S. and a minority in the Middle East directly targeted by ISIS — both hate al-Assad, but the FSA and ISIS now work together. Iran is also fighting ISIS, but work and support al-Assad.

In short, forming a coalition of groups to fight ISIS is impossible.

Al-Assad has been trying to court the West by saying he is the only alternative to ISIS and the numerous terrorist groups that make up the FSA. The U.S. has a long history of supporting brutal dictators like Pinochet of Chile, Saddam, the Shah of Iran, and Suharto of Indonesia; repeating history by supporting al-Assad would put us in a bad light.

Ultimately, Obama’s plan looks like it might fail. If he wants to defeat ISIS, he needs to be more decisive.

He needs to arm the Kurds instead of trying to form a coalition and he needs to put boots on the ground.

forum video of Strong, a senior midfielder on the SU women’s soccer team, using derogatory language was posted on Instagram.

Many students at that meeting asked for an open space to talk about issues people on campus are facing. The forum was moderated by Kim Williams, a Ph.D. student, and Valerie Martinez from the Office of Multicultural Affairs.

In addition, they received a card with ground rules for speaking. The guidelines included saying “I” not “we,” addressing comments and not attacking specific people, actively listening and not repeating comments and using respectful language and tone.

At the front of the room, NAACP executive board members introduced themselves and went through the series of events related to the Strong video. They showed the video itself, in which Strong calls a person behind the camera a “f*ggot-a** n*gger.”

They also showed statements released in response to the video by Director of Athletics Daryl Gross, Dean of Student Activities Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz and Chancellor Kent Syverud, as well as Strong’s apology. Twitter reactions to the incident were displayed on the screen as well.

One tweet that featured the hashtag #StrongLikeHanna drew laughter from some in the crowd.

But despite all the background given on the video, much of the forum focused on campus identities and how to promote change.

“This happens on college campuses everywhere, it’s about a larger issue,” Williams told the audience. “We want to be able to have dialogue about Hanna Strong and about what happened on our campus, but also about the larger issues.”

Students began making their way to the two microphones at the front of the auditorium. Angela Diaz, a member of the Pride Union executive board, talked about realizing that there wasn’t just a racial slur used in the video, but also a homophobic slur. It’s one that is used on campus often, she said, and both should be recognized as hurtful.

“Why do we have to put emphasis on one identity versus the others?” Diaz said. “We all have multiple identities.

reactions didn’t want it to be limited to just students or just students of certain identities, she said.

The discussion was mediated by Kim Williams, a Ph.D. student, and Valerie Martinez from the Office of Multicultural Affairs. Williams said she was happy to mediate the forum, and was pleased to hear students were organizing the event.

“It’s always difficult to facilitate conversations like this,” Williams said after the event.

“There are so many different people, different interests represented, different understanding of the issues, but I was happy they did something because the first step is always the hardest.”

Tiffany Steinwert, dean of Hendricks Chapel, also said she felt it was important for her to attend the forum.

“Personally, as a straight-identified, white ally committed to dismantling systems of oppression, I simply could not not be there,” she said in an email following the event.

The forum itself was helpful in bringing people together, Steinwert said.

“These types of events have the possibility of bringing people together who may never have

Derek Horn, a senior communications design major, echoed Diaz when he said that offensive words are used all across campus. But, he said in order to act on the problem, it should be addressed right away.

“Even though it’s uncomfortable in the moment, we need to stop and call people out when we hear these words,” he said.

Other students agreed with Horn’s comments, saying that offensive comments should be addressed in the moment, while others offered potential reasons why that might not be possible.

A few students shared their experiences of feeling marginalized in school settings, specifically within classes in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

The discussion eventually shifted from reactions and personal stories to ways to act and actually implement change. At that point, Martinez, one of the mediators, encouraged students to dig deeper when thinking about how to create action points moving forward..

Many said they believed the university administration needed to be involved. A few attendees even said they initially thought the #SpeakUpSU event was the forum that the chancellor had said in an email to the campus that he’d be arranging.

Some administrative members were in attendance, including members of the Division of Student Affairs, Tiffany Steinwert, dean of Hendricks Chapel, and Sheila Johnson, director of equal opportunity and inclusion at SU. Brandi Williams, a graduate student in the School of Education, pointed out that the student leaders in those types of forums and the people attending events similar to #SpeakUpSU tend to be the same on a consistent basis.

“The students who are not here are also the ones who need to be hearing this,” Williams said.

“Professors and administration who are not here, they also need to hear this.”

After the meeting, Williams said that there’s still more to be done for change to actually occur on campus. But she said she thought that the event provided an opportunity that didn’t exist before.

“This provided a space to come together to address some systematic issues on campus,” she said. “It provided a space this campus doesn’t have to have dialogue and talk with one another.” blsamuel@syr.edu

known each other if not for their common concern and outrage over recent events,” she said.

Others at the event added that they took lessons away for what needs to happen next in order for change to be seen.

“These discussions are positive but they need to expand to the whole campus,” said Derek Horn, a senior communications design major.

“We need to focus on spreading these messages to other people,” said Horn.

Taryne Chatman, who shared a poem at the event that he’d written titled “I too am SU,” said he came to the forum both to voice his opinion and to hear others speak. Chatman, a freshman political philosophy major, said the discussion opened his eyes to ways he can improve as a person and it brought up ways to confront the problem of hearing derogatory or hurtful language on campus.

“Knowing it’s going to be uncomfortable doesn’t mean I should remain silent,” he said.

Even with all the positives that came out of the three hours in Grant, many people spoke after the meeting about the need to have a concrete action plan and to continue the dialogue.

Said Williams, the moderator: “It’s a good first step.” blsamuel@syr.edu

Tuningup Members of the Black Celestial Choral Ensemble rehearse during a practice session. The group has been on campus for the past 38 years and this year, the choir hopes to start holding praise and worship services on weeknights. It will also hold a GospelMania workshop in February.

Ensemble puts in work on stage, in community

By Erin McDonald staff writer

F

or the past 38 years, the Black Celestial Choral Ensemble has graced the Syracuse University community with its songs and charitable acts and this year the group is looking to add nearly 15 new voices.

Over the past weekend, the gospel group held auditions to replace seniors that graduated last spring. The auditions, which consisted of a panel of directors and section leaders listening to indi-

viduals sing and answer interview questions, were held in hopes of adding to the ensemble that currently consists of about 25 active members, said club director Byron Canada. The group had numbers in the low 40s last year prior to graduation.

One of the group’s main events this year is Coming Back Together. During the event, a large group of alumni come back to sing and share stories about where their lives have gone and how BCCE has helped them get to where they are in their lives today, Canada said.

This year, Reverend Richard Hill and the Historically Black Church, which is a part of Hendricks Chapel, will advise the group. In addition to continuing to be a registered student organization, they have been discussing the possibility of praise and worship services held on weeknights this semester, said business manager Nina

Rodgers, who is a former columnist for The Daily Orange. Although it’s still in the works, it would most likely take place a few times a semester and be open to the public.

GospelMania, a workshop held by the organization last year, will be taking place again this February. Other schools will be attending and there will possibly be a special gospel artist, Rodgers said.

“My personal goal is to strengthen the relationship between BCCE and other offices on campus,” she said.

Along with hosting concerts and attending events, the organization is also involved with charitable service and community outreach. In the past, the BCCE has participated in fundraisers such as breast cancer walks and singing at local hospitals. One annual event that the group partakes in is their Spring Break Tour. The BCCE

travels to other religious organizations, particularly ones in the hometowns of ensemble members, to perform with members of other communities, Canada said. They also perform at the Martin Luther King Jr. event held every year.

Along with its community efforts, the group also displayed its talent by taking first place at a Binghamton choral competition last year, Canada said. They also attend non-competitive choral events held by other schools.

Rodgers, the business manager, said she was optimistic for the ensemble, saying that becoming a member her freshman year was a pivotal moment, and she wants the same warm welcome for the new members this year.

“I would not be where I am in college today without BCCE,” Rodgers said. eemcdona@syr.edu

Alumnus Eugene Law spoke during the ceremony, and said Wheeler’s successful career has prepared him to be president of ESF.

“While today is the day we commemorate your inauguration, the past nine months has made it obvious to ESF students that your vast experience has prepared you well for the challenges that face this institution in the years to come,” Law said.

Some SUNY-ESF students, like Jane Yeh, have few critiques of the new president, though they do have some hopes for the future.

café kubal developments. As a part of the company’s efforts to be a part of the community, the new location will feature a retro Art Deco design to match that of the Niagara Mohawk building, Godard said.

While Café Kubal’s other stores feature a more rustic repurposed look, the new location might have an old-fashioned soda bar and a retro Chemex brewer from the Art Deco period. It may even boast an old jukebox too, Godard said. “(The new location) is right across from the

Art Deco building so we want to bring those elements into the cafe. We’re refurbishing and repainting a lot of retro elements,” he said.

Hueber-Breuer, a Syracuse-based company, will handle the construction. Godard said he’s excited to be working with the Breuer family on the building, since they have also been known to contribute to improving the Syracuse area.

The new location is close to Creekwalk Commons, so it already has a natural customer

base in the apartment building, said Becky Benedict, Café Kubal’s regional manager.

“I talked to a customer in the cafe who lived in Creekwalk and he seemed really excited about it,” Benedict said. “I think people are definitely excited. I think it’s going to be an awesome new place especially for the students living in Creekwalk.”

Brad Stalter, a realtor who works in Creekwalk Commons, has already received positive feedback from some residents.

“I think the cafe is going to do really well in that location. A ton of people will now have access to this coffee shop. The tenants said they love Café Kubal and are excited about this opportunity,” he said.

In addition, the new location will benefit from infrastructure that Godard set up when he expanded from two to three cafes.

“When we went from two stores to three, in terms of logistics and administrative bandwidth, we expanded beyond the capability of just one more store,” he said. “Our roaster, our kitchen, our cooks and our existing management team can handle a lot more than the Creekwalk Commons expansion. We have room to grow.”

Given the size of the business, traditional advertising is too expensive, Christina Trout, the marketing manager, said. She plans to do some physical flyers to put in the other cafés, but will mostly rely on social media and blog posts on the website.

Godard said he hopes the new location will be open in time for pumpkin spice season, but there was no finish date written in stone, he said. acappucc@syr.edu

Partnership to provide SU veterans with access to e-books

By Brett Weiser-Schlesinger contributing writer

A new partnership between Emerald Group Publishing and the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities will provide online resources to assist veteran students looking to develop their entrepreneurial and management skills.

Emerald Group Publishing has agreed to provide over $100,000 worth of e-journals, e-books and other online content to EBV students at SU and the seven additional participating colleges in the program, according to an SU News release.

The resources made available through the partnership include access to Emerald’s Management e-journals, Emerging Markets Case Studies and hundreds of e-books on the topics of business, management, economics and the social sciences, according to the release.

Emerald’s newly available content gives EBV students the ability to access content previously unavailable to students in the program. Michael Haynie, SU’s vice chancellor for Military and Veterans Affairs, said the partnership is “more of a practical solution” for EBV participants, allowing

those in the program to acquire access to these resources rather than receiving special permission or paying to view them. The EBV program offers post-9/11 veterans with disabilities training in small business and management skills.

Haynie said that the main benefit of student access to these materials is the “competitive advantage” this information will provide them

with.

“Information is power, and this partnership will make it more likely for success when these veterans enter the marketplace,” he said.

SU has an extensive history with the education of veterans, dating back to post-World War II with then-Chancellor William Tolley accepting over 10,000 war veterans to the college. Haynie, a veteran and SU alumnus himself, intends to “tell the history of the university with veterans, and to show and speak to this generation of veterans.”

K. Matthew Dames, SU’s interim dean of Libraries and a key supporter of the partnership, said Emerald has been “the most proactive and progressive” in working with the University Library and EBV on digital content.

Dames said the partnership fits in line with the promise Chancellor Kent Syverud made at his inauguration in April, when he declared his intention to allow SU to “once again become the best (college) for veterans.”

Emerald Group Publishing was made aware of the EBV program through a May 2013 feature on the CBS news program “60 Minutes.”

Eric Schwartz, Emerald’s marketing manager, called the partnership “a no-brainer.”

“It seemed apparent from the report that the design and goals of the EBV program coincided with Emerald’s mission to link research and practice to the benefit of society,” he said. “The

research that Emerald publishes very much links in with the program … and it certainly is a nice fit.” bweisers@syr.edu

but Christopher said Bonafilia hopes to re-enroll at SU “when the time is right.”

After the trial, Christopher added that both Cresap and Bonafilia’s letters of apology may become publicly available if SU decides to release them. A few hours later, Christopher emailed The Daily Orange a copy of Bonafilia’s letter of apology.

In the letter, which was addressed to the SU community, Bonafilia expressed his “deep regret” and said “mistakes of this nature will not be made in the future.” The letter reads in part: “The graffiti was a bad idea that escalated so quickly, that I foolishly didn’t take the time to

reflect on the decision that I was about to make, or the potential legal or administrative repercussions, until it was too late. However, this was not only a bad idea; the graffiti was an insult to everyone who is a part of the Syracuse University community, including students, faculty, staff, and local residents. The act was an exposition of disrespect for the community, and unfairly cost students their tuition dollars, Syracuse residents their tax dollars, workers their time and energy, as well as put unnecessary burden on the administrative and legal systems. As someone who has spent years working with administration to improve the student and Syracuse communities, this sits deeply with me. I apologize for my foolish and selfish actions.” apalme05@syr.edu

Taking ROOT

Raices Dance Troupe educates community about heritage by performing Latin dance

By Jackie Frere feature editor

T

he first week of his freshman year, Piero Izquierdo did what any typical freshman would do — venture out onto the streets of Euclid at night with his floormates looking for a party.

He was out and about when he heard Spanish music blasting from one of the houses on the street.

From that point on, his Syracuse University experience started to take shape.

Inside the house Izquierdo wandered into were members of the Latin dance troupe Raices, which means roots in Spanish. Raices Dance Troupe, established in 1997, is SU’s only Latin dance group on campus. As National Hispanic Heritage month begins Mon-

day, Raices’ goal is to educate the SU community about Latino culture.

“My heritage is the foundation to who I am right now,” Izquierdo said.

“Surprisingly, SU has highlighted that.

Had I not run into them (on Euclid), I would have forgotten my culture.”

Raices Dance Troupe celebrates its Hispanic and Latin heritage through dance and choice of music.

The troupe not only performs traditional Latin dances like the salsa, bachata and merengue, but also puts a Latin twist on contemporary styles like hip-hop and jazz.

The troupe will display its members’ talents at Fiesta Latina on Sept.

With not much to do on a chilly Friday, some Syracuse University students traded their pillows and blankets for brushes and paint.

Home Headquarters, a non-profit organization that builds and renovates houses for homeowners, held its annual Block Blitz event on Culbert Street and Delong Avenue in North Syracuse.

During the event, which lasted from 9 a.m. to noon, volunteers completed different tasks on houses on the block.

Kurt Harris, a worker for Home Headquarters, said that the organization worked closely with the homeowners.

“It’s a whole process, but we look for at least 50 percent homeownership on the block before we choose it, just so that the homeowners have a say in what they want to be done to their property,” said Harris, who was busy repainting an old fire hydrant.

It feels really cool to help out because we are sometimes so sheltered up on the Hill.

though every dancer in the group is not from a Hispanic background.

“By practicing for our shows, we come together to have fun and

explore everyone’s backgrounds,” Quintero said.

A big emphasis of Raices Dance Troupe is combining all of the dancers’ cultures into one group, said Marlyn Barros, a junior accounting major and co-chair of the troupe. She added that this means incorporating Dominican, Puerto Rican, Ecuadorian, Haitian and other cultures into their styles of dance and community.

“We embrace. We love to embrace our culture,” Barroso said. “And we embrace our culture through the arts, especially since we’re not all from the same place. We each bring our own style to the floor.”

The dance troupe also celebrates its roots by giving back to their community. The members partner with La

Even on a brisk autumn day, many were outside giving back to the Syracuse community.

“It’s really good to see everyone come out and help, especially the students. We had a lot of volunteers this year,” Harris said.

With an overwhelming amount of volunteers this year, Home Headquarters had to turn away some organizations. Nonetheless, many came to support the cause, including SU students.

Sonya Mattis, a sophomore information management and technology major, said she thought it was a great way for SU students to get involved in the community.

“I’m definitely doing this again next year. I really love helping the community,” Mattis said. “Syracuse students get too accustomed to their fake wealth on the Hill, while people need help literally down the street.” see block

block blitz Many other students who participated in the Block Blitz event felt the same way as Mattis.

Chelsea Mikell, a senior public health major, said there were many community service opportunities that SU students take for granted.

She added that because many SU students are not from the area, they can feel disconnected from the community and might not want to volunteer.

Along with students, many companies and organizations came to Block Blitz to show their support. Anne Fusco and Pattie Mitchell of M&T Bank worked diligently on an occupied house on

the block. They contributed by staining wood, removing trees and painting the foundation.

“I came all the way from Watertown to participate. It’s a great feeling,” Mitchell said.

Reggie and Patricia, two homeowners, both thought it was a blessing to have volunteers work on their house in such a community.

Their son could be seen playing a game of catch with Jahnise Slaughter, a junior mechanical engineering major.

Work of

Picasso’s Pastries and Café provides wide selection of baked goods, Café Kubal coffee products

By Rohan Thakore staff writer

T

he smell of Picasso’s Pastries and Café is enticing, wafting its way from the back kitchen to outside in the parking lot. At 8 a.m. during a busy weekday with heat and humidity greeting you, it can take a lot to get out of bed. But brewed coffee, fresh pastries and an eclectic charm may be just the trick.

A small hanging sign daintily clad in purple and yellow welcomes you to Picasso’s Pastries and Café. The croissant painted on the sign, along with a banner underneath introducing Café Kubal as the official coffee supplier, should assure you this place means business.

But inside was where I really wanted to be.

The walls were an assortment of colors such as neon green and orange, and featured simple wood trims. A handful of thrift store-esque couches, stools and chairs strangely fit in with the décor, as did the collection of artwork, plants and knick knacks surrounding the interior.

Of course, the most beautiful pieces of work in the bakery were the pastries themselves. A combination of muffins, breads, fresh pop-tarts, pies and savory goods were everywhere. Each display case had handwritten lettering on it, proudly announcing each hand-crafted item.

It was at this point I couldn’t help myself and uttered the words that I’ve wanted to say for quite a while: “One of everything please!”

Amused and surprised, the girl behind the counter smiled, probably thinking I was crazy, and started collecting each item. And

boy, were there a lot.

All said and done, the collection included blueberry, chocolate chip and morning glory — think carrot cake with coconut — muffins, almond croissant, plain croissant, apple doughnut, sweet potato doughnut, apple pop-tart, dark chocolate banana doughnut, cheese biscuit, ham and cheese biscuit, blueberry poppy seed doughnut and rosemary cheddar biscuit.

To keep with tradition, I ordered a hot coffee to accompany this mountain of glutinous treats. Picasso’s offers the full range of Café Kubal offerings, from coffee to cappuccinos.

The morning glory muffin was a little dry, but the carrot cake and coconut was an obvious compliment. The apple pop-tart was filled with large apple slices and the pasty was nicely formed around it. The savory options were also interesting.

I enjoyed the cheddar rosemary biscuit, which could also make for great sandwich bread. I did find the bread slightly too dry, probably because of how much cheese there was inside. However, the rosemary was a nice, sharp flavor that could cut through the cheese.

Unfortunately, I knew that I couldn’t eat so many pastries by myself — trust me, I tried. I didn’t want them to get stale and old just sitting around in my kitchen, so I enlisted the help of my fellow classmates to finish them.

The originality of its baked goods and the classy atmosphere make Picasso’s more than just another corner café. The savory flavors made up for the few dry pastries, which interested me enough to come back for more. rythakor@syr.edu

Hackathon kicks off event to increase local adult literacy

By Jesse Nichols staff writer

Technology is leaving the digital world and making an impact on the community.

Hackathon, a series of innovative events hosted by the Syracuse Technology Garden, kicked off on Saturday at the headquarters of ProLiteracy, a non-profit organization that provides learning opportunities to increase adult literacy. It was the first of four Hackathons that will occur this fall, including a virtual 60-day challenge hosted by AT&T. ProLiteracy, the sponsor and host of the first Hackathon, teamed up with Tech Garden, a local technology and startup hub, to bring 25 innovators, coders and designers together to collaborate and tackle adult literacy in the community.

“The teams self-select based on the skills they have and their interests,” said Tony Kershaw, the innovation specialist at Tech Garden. “The idea is to focus all of these teams on a particular problem so the solution they create has context.”

After noticing a general trend of community-oriented projects in previous Hackathons, Kershaw said the context for this year’s Hackathon would be based on civic action.

“It’s because of the culture in upstate New York and the passion developers have for the community here,” Kershaw said.

Mike Vormwald, a participant of the Hackathon and a software developer at 3Pound Health, said that his team was working on a program in which people could provide financial support for literacy programs.

“The idea is that a bunch of people could support adult learners using a crowd funding platform,” said Vormwald, whose team is expecting the platform, literacy.io, to go live after its initial testing period.

Vormwald’s project is just one of many that is under construction throughout the weekend, as teams gather throughout the ProLiteracy headquarters to develop apps, video services and other creative platforms to serve adult learners.

Erica Richmond, an intern at Tech Garden, said many of these platforms have been focused on making it fun for adults learning to read.

raices Casita, an organization supported by the College of Arts and Sciences, which promotes the culture of central New York’s Latino and Latin American communities. Last year, Raices Dance Troupe taught little girls how to dance salsa and bachata in order to connect them more with their Hispanic backgrounds.

Izquierdo said his favorite part about Raices Dance Troupe is the family atmosphere. The group brought him out of his comfort zone on stage and gave him confidence not only in his dancing, but in himself overall.

As a first generation college student, Izquierdo said he’s learned how to appreciate his culture through the group at SU more than he has at home with his Ecuadorian parents.

“You can ask any troupe member and they will tell you that our relationship goes further than the dance floor,” he said. “The Spanish comes out

“Game-ifying, turning learning into a game, has been a big concept in the community lately and we’re applying it toward literacy as well,” said Richmond, a sophomore citizenship and civic engagement major at Syracuse University.

Richmond has supported Kershaw with the planning and execution of this Hackathon.

She has also helped bring the civic engagement perspective to the technology environment.

“When I think of Hackathon, I think of a bunch of just techie guys and girls getting together,” Richmond said. “But we bring a social problem in and say, ‘Use your knowledge in the tech world to alleviate this social issue.’”

Adult illiteracy — the social issue brought into this weekend’s Hackathon — has been particularly important to the Syracuse community.

“Syracuse is ground zero for the adult literacy movement,” said Kevin Morgan, president & CEO of ProLiteracy. “It’s time to take it to the next level.”

As the weekend continued, the participants created, innovated and designed their way in hopes of winning the grand prize: a $2,500 cash reward. The team Page Turner won the top prize with its demo involving a mobile phone app that reads along with books for adult learners.

“I’m curious to see what they come up with,” said Richmond, an intern at Tech Garden. “I think it’s just seeing if it can transform into a product or a real concept of how these two worlds (technology and literacy) interact; I know they can.”

Richmond went on to mention that the world of literacy is in itself complex and more than just learning words.

“The important thing I learned today was that literacy is not just reading and writing. It’s not just numbers, it’s learning how to navigate the world.”

Thus the challenge for this weekend will be for designers, programmers and software developers from all over the central New York area to create and innovate unique technologies that will allow illiterate adults to navigate the world more effectively.

“There have been a lot of really great ideas flowing today, and we’re all excited to see what the teams can come up with,” Richmond said. jlnich02@syr.edu

sometimes and we have to stop ourselves.”

Izquierdo credits the Raices Dance Troupe with helping him remember how important culture is to his life. Without it, he wouldn’t have the close friends and family that he appreciates today.

We embrace our culture through the arts, especially since we’re not all from the same place.

Marlyn Barroso co-chair of raices dance troupe

“Before this, I didn’t care for the arts aspect of my culture, but now I understand it is a precious part of my culture,” Izquierdo said. “If we try to forget about our culture, it’s going to get lost and now I have more appreciation for it.” jmfrere@syr.edu | @jackie_frere

philips times for 50 yards in a 15-play touchdown drive in the third quarter of Syracuse’s (2-0) 40-3 win over Central Michigan (2-1) at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium Saturday. Senior Adonis AmeenMoore led SU with 106 yards on nine carries, but it was the freshman who danced around the Chippewas’ defense, illustrating the true depth of the Orange backfield.

With SU’s fast-paced attack forcing CMU’s hand for two quarters and change, Philips’ speed and shiftiness proved too much for a tired defense to handle. That kind of “closer” role is usually reserved for a power possession-savvy back, but the Orange may have one with a slightly fleeter foot.

“He’s a scat back and you know he can drop his feet in the grass and come out of it really fast,” Shafer said of Philips. “I think the offense was afraid I was going to move him to corner if he didn’t get the opportunity to run the ball. That’s a joke.”

Before Philips entered the game, most of Syracuse’s rushing success came from quarterback Terrel Hunt. Then Philips carried on the first four plays of the Orange’s third third-quarter possession, collecting 1, 9, 12 and

4 yards, respectively.

Shafer has been discussing the freshman class’ talent since the start of camp and Philips’ has been ingrained in the front of that conversation. Even with two seniors and two juniors seemingly ahead of him, Shafer has continually said that Philips’ playmaking ability will get him on the field.

Saturday was his first real chance to either hedge expectations or live up to them, and he accomplished the latter.

“They told me that the time is going to come, when the opportunity presents itself you have to go get it,” Philips said. “So when I got in there I just tried to do the best I could and what the coaches told me.”

After a 12-yard rush by Philips brought Syracuse to the Central Michigan 10-yard line, Philips ran 9 yards before he was wrapped up from behind. He reached the football out just short of the end zone and Hunt ran the ball in on the next play to give the Orange a 26-3 lead.

It seemed like Philips had earned the last carry of the drive, but the freshman will have to wait at least one more week for his first career score.

“Man, that was heartbreaking,” Philips said. “I thought I was in but it’s all right, we scored on that drive.”

Alex Bono kept repeating the same phrase in his head.

“Don’t take him down. Don’t take him down. syracuse 0 Don’t take him down.”

But Bono watched notre dame 1 helplessly as Skylar Thomas brought Jon Gallagher down hard to the ground in the 74th minute after he got past him in the defensive third. Thomas was given a red card and ejected from the game, and four seconds later, Notre Dame netted the first and only goal of the match.

Brandon Aubrey, who had just headed the ball in off a pass from Patrick Hodan, rushed up the field to meet his teammates as Bono stood motionless in the goal.

“To give up a set piece on the ensuing play is disappointing for us,” Bono said. “Set pieces are something we take pride in defending and attacking. That is a real knock on what we believe in.”

The Notre Dame score happened amid a flurry of chances on the offensive end for No. 20 Syracuse (4-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast), which allowed its first goal of the season in a 1-0 loss to No. 4 Notre Dame (3-1-1, 1-0) in front of a record SU Soccer Stadium crowd of 2,442. The Orange outshot Notre Dame 13-12 and had 15 corner kicks to UND’s four.

But in the end it was one sequence of plays, one four-second span, that flipped the narrative of the game. For much of the first 73 minutes SU seemed poised to score and win its first game against Notre Dame since 1997. Instead Syracuse was left hanging its heads instead of celebrating possibly the biggest regular-season win in its history.

“That’s the beauty of our game, the emotions. The highs and lows,” SU head coach McIntyre said. “That’s why you have 2,500

Syracuse secondary shuts down Central Michigan offense There was almost no break for Cooper Rush.

The Central Michigan quarterback started the game stringing passes over the Syracuse defensive line into open pockets on either side of the field. But the Chippewas’ opening possession proved to be their only scoring drive as Syracuse shut CMU down in the Orange’s 40-3 victory on Saturday.

“I know they played mad,” defensive line coach Tim Daoust said. “I know they played upset. It rolls downhill from a coach down to them that they needed to play a better football game today.”

After failing to contain Villanova quarterback John Robertson in Week 1, the Orange pass rush recorded five sacks, forced and recovered a fumble and recorded eight tackles for a loss.

Central Michigan only managed 183 passing yards off 18 completions.

With Syracuse leading 17-3 late in the second quarter, CMU had second-and-10 on its own 47 and a chance to regain momentum before halftime. But SU linebacker Cam Lynch’s delayed blitz forced Rush into a throwaway. On the next play, the Chippewas’ quarterback fluffed a throw off his back foot,

people here. That’s the beauty of our sport.”

Much of the game was defined by Syracuse’s potent yet ineffective offense. The Orange, utilizing its 3-5-2 formation, controlled possession for long stretches of time.

Oyvind Alseth had a strike from over 20 yards out that hit off the crossbar in the 69th minute. Julian Buescher had a shot that was grabbed by UND goalie Patrick Wall, as he dove to his left to keep the game scoreless.

Seconds after that, Alex Halis kicked a ball to the middle that scooted past Emil Ekblom and out of bounds.

The crowd moaned, but Syracuse had Notre Dame on its heels. Against a team that had beaten Syracuse 3-0 on the same turf a year ago, in front of the same packed stadium with a lot of the same players on the field, Syracuse was not the same team.

“It’s tough to say you’re delighted when you’re upset, when you haven’t taken anything away from this game,” McIntyre said.

“Ultimately, we’re going to be evaluated by how we do in the ACC against the best teams in the country.

McIntyre said that Saturday’s loss to Notre Dame felt different than ones in the past. He said that he used to go into games against the best opponents just trying to “hang in there” or “mess them up a little bit.”

After the game, Syracuse spoke in the rhetoric of a team that came oh-so-close. It spoke like a team wanting to forget that it missed the chance to beat a Top-10 team for the first time in 13 years.

“We’ve got to look past it,” Halis said.

“They just came out on top,” senior midfielder Nick Perea said.

“We take a lot of progress from this one,” Bono said.

“Unfortunately tonight,” McIntyre said, “they came away with another win here.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

dropping his pass short in front of an open Courtney Williams.

“It started up front,” Syracuse cornerback Julian Whigham said. “The D-line and linebackers got a lot of pressure. They just didn’t have time to get the ball up.”

Daoust rotated in the debuting Wayne Williams with Ryan Sloan, keeping the Orange pass rush fresh and unrelenting. As SU protected a 30-point lead deep into the fourth quarter, freshman linebacker Zaire Franklin subbed in to maintain the same pressure Lynch had thrown at Rush all day.

As SU looks toward its next game against Maryland on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. in the Carrier Dome, the Orange will need to maintain pressure on opposing quarterbacks. When it does, it allows linebackers to pack the box and frees up its defensive backs to play tight man coverage on the outside.

“I want people talking about the defensive line the way the defensive line should be talked about at Syracuse University,” Daoust said.

“The way it’s been talked about in the past, where we played mean and nasty and stopped the run and then see if we can get hits on the quarterback.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse jmklinge@syr.edu | @Jacob_Klinger_

whenever it plays, whoever it plays.

That’s what Syracuse is, in the week before it begins play against major conference opposition — a team than can shine, but must grind.

“I’m not going to tell you the kids were feeling good coming into the game,” Shafer said. “I know they were sore. But that’s what we have to be at Syracuse. We have to be a tough football team.”

If Syracuse’s blueprint of a breakneck offense comes to fruition, games against teams like Central Michigan will effectively end before halftime.

Instead, the Orange chipped away, holding CMU on defense and threatening but not finishing on offense. Central Michigan started to crack, first, when Chippewas’ quarterback Cooper Rush was called for intentional grounding in the end zone, resulting in a safety off a blitz from SU linebacker Cam Lynch.

“That’s our plan, right, stop the run and then make the other team play left-handed a little bit,” SU defensive line coach Tim Daoust said.

The SU defensive front doesn’t need to be any more stylish. Anyone who wants to see Lynch attempt a front flip off of Eric Crume’s shoulders before making a sack isn’t a Syracuse coach. It won’t happen.

For me it’s on to the next, you know, we have Maryland coming up. I want to feel good, a couple minutes, couple hours, the rest of the day and then as soon as Sunday hits, focus on the game.

Julian Whigham su cornerback

But sleeker opponents await SU. Running them off the field on either side of the ball just isn’t reality yet. The talent gap Syracuse enjoyed between itself and CMU doesn’t exist in the rest of the Orange’s schedule. If anyone wants to see Jamal Custis running more end-arounds, they’ll have to watch 3-yard pileups on offense and batted passes on defense first.

The Orange still has to play rugged before it can play sexy — against Central Michigan, Maryland or Florida State.

“For me it’s on to the next, you know, we have Maryland coming up,” cornerback Julian Whigam said. “I want to feel good, a couple minutes, couple hours, the rest of the day and then as soon as Sunday hits, focus on the game.”

Saturday’s consistency will have to be reflected in the rest of the season against any opponent.

But in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, a town of 26,000, a team can reset its season and find itself. Punching an opposing linebacker in the face one week can be forgotten 14 days later by a finger to the scoreboard. And it doesn’t matter what lights it up, as long as it’s the right team’s points. jmklinge@syr.edu | @Jacob_Klinger_

the big three new game, bad game Forced to abandon the run with SU swallowing up Rawls’ replacements, Central Michigan had to turn to the air.

It wasn’t just out of the Chippewas’ comfort zone, they straight up couldn’t do it. CMU quarterback Cooper Rush was hassled all game long as Syracuse recorded five sacks and eight tackles for a loss.

Three reasons why Thomas Rawls’ absence ended the game before it started:

‘Just try to focus on football, try to channel your anger on the football field.’”

Hitting Cooper Rush with just less than 11 minutes left in the second quarter, Crume forced the ball out of the CMU’s quarterback’s right hand. After Marqez Hodge scooped the ball up and ran it in for a 36-yard touchdown, Crume jogged past the SU bench, gave his family and friends, who were seated right behind it, a nod and a dance.

Crume’s father called it a “happy dance,” and Wofford knows it as the dance to Rich Homie Quan’s “Walk Thru.”

Rather than being burdened by emotion, Crume was fueled and lifted by it as he and the Syracuse pass rush held CMU to 18 completions for 185 yards.

“It was great coming home and everything,” Crume said, “but the biggest thing for me today was my grandmother passed, her birthday was today.”

When Crume was a child and his mother, Latonya Evans, went to work, Harris watched him. As she aged, she moved in with Crume and his family and the now 6-foot-2, 297-pound tackle hung around his

Living together, the whole family bonded more closely to Harris, Wofford said, but especially Crume.

“He was one of the kids that he stayed around his grandma and said he was going to play with her,” Wofford said.

Saturday was also the first time his mother had seen him play in person since last season.

She couldn’t remember which game — “I’m not sure, they all go crazy,” she said.

It was the first time since SU’s 49-14 loss to Clemson last season that Crume’s father had been in attendance and the first such game for Crume’s cousin, T.J. Triplett, since the Orange lost to Cincinnati 30-13 in Crume’s freshman year.

They had all followed his career remotely, Triplett watching on ESPN or keeping tabs on his phone when he could.

But after the two-hour drive from Detroit and the quarter-plus-long wait to celebrate Crume’s play, his section of support erupted behind the SU bench.

Crume’s 21st birthday, Oct. 18, will be his first without Harris. Saturday’s game was his only collegiate game in his home state and the best time to honor his grandmother with his play.

A PLEASANT TRIP SU finds self, buries struggles

Philips shines in 3rd frame

By Jesse Dougherty and Jacob Klinger the daily orange

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — There was one condition when Scott Shafer and the Syracuse coaching staff decided to put freshman Ervin Philips in the back of the kickreturn unit.

The Orange would still have to work Philips into the offense. After the running back returned a kick in the first quarter against Central Michigan on Saturday, he reappeared in an offensive package that allowed him to not just stay on the field, but lead Syracuse to a touchdown.

“We try and put packages together for them and whoever gets hot we

(Philips) got in there, he probably played less than 20 plays, but he got in there in his package and he really did a nice job.

stay with that package,” offensive coordinator George McDonald said of the five SU running backs who carried the ball in the game. “(Philips) got in there, he probably played less than 20 plays, but he got in there in his package and he really did a nice job maximizing his opportunities.”

Philips carried the ball seven

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — It’s OK now.

No, there’s nothing really stunning about punching up a decapitated Central Michigan team.

As a matter of executing a game plan and outplaying a less talented JACOB team, SaturKLINGER day’s game CLEA R EYES, was a success ONE HEA RT — what else do you call a 40-3 win? More importantly, though, it offered a glimpse of what Syracuse is as a winning football team.

No such view existed after SU beat Villanova, 27-26, in double overtime to start the season. When Scott Shafer publicly thanked Orange fans for attending, he may as well have also been apologizing. If Syracuse owed its fans anything on Saturday, it was a collective “you’re welcome,” for being the best and, at times, only team on the field at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium.

“I had a lot of doubts in my mind whether I screwed some things up in that Villanova game,” Shafer said after the Orange’s win on Saturday.

“You have a heart-to-heart with yourself and as coaches we knew what we wanted to do. We wanted to work at it.”

In turn, SU’s dismantling of a CMU team without Thomas Rawls, the running back it shamelessly depended on, was more a consistent pounding than any sort of dazzling blowout.

That’s how Syracuse is best set to win

Crume honors late grandmother in homecoming win at CMU

By Jacob Klinger asst. sports editor

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — Eric Crume’s older brother worried about the nose tackle’s focus.

Not because of football. Because

the woman who made her famous German chocolate cake for Crume every year for his birthday was gone. It was famous to him and his family in the way that only a dish, coming from a loved one to another who enjoys it more than

anyone else, can be.

Jeanette Harris would’ve turned 67 on Saturday, but she died in January and Crume promised his brother, Freddrick Wofford, he’d dedicate his performance at Central Michigan to his maternal grandmother.

In front of about 10 friends and family members who drove up from Crume’s hometown of Detroit, the Syracuse (2-0) senior nose tackle made three tackles, a sack and forced the fumble that gave SU the permanent lead in its 40-3 win against

Central Michigan (2-1) on Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

“Mostly I wanted him to stay focused because I knew the grandma thing was bothering him,” Wofford said. “So I just told him, see crume page 18
