Syracuse University administra-tors met with student protest-ers on Monday to finish going over demands of THE General Body, a student coalition that has camped out in Crouse-Hinds Hall for over a week.
During the two-hour meeting in the Crouse-Hinds Hall lobby, Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina, Dean of Student Affairs Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz and University College Dean Bea Gon-zalez discussed several demands with members of the group.
The discussion was a continua-tion of a meeting with Spina, Kan-trowitz and Gonzalez held Sunday evening with students who spent the weekend in Crouse-Hinds. Progress was made on some issues, while other demands remain unresolved.
“This was the most productive meeting we’ve had so far,” said Danielle Reed, a junior African American studies major and mem-ber of THE General Body.
Several topics were discussed at Monday’s meeting, including rein-stating the Multicultural Spring Program, requiring diversity train-ing for certain groups on campus, increasing pay for graduate stu-dents, reversing cuts to the Posse program and administration sign-ing a non-retaliation agreement.

Walking through the Quad was “hell” for Charles Preuss.
“I’m looking at 15 people, looking at their pockets, looking at where their hands are and I did not want to go through the Quad. I was like speed walking through the Quad because of my PTSD and anxiety and stuff,” said Preuss, a student vet-eran and vice president of Student Veterans of America at Syracuse University.
“In the classroom, I always had to have my eyes on the door. I ended up sitting in the front of the classes so I couldn’t see anybody in front of me because then I wouldn’t be able to pay attention to the teacher,” he said. “How would teachers know I’m a veteran unless I tell them? They don’t.”
Preuss served seven years in the United States Army and is one of 322 student veterans on the Syracuse University campus. As a stu-dent veteran, Preuss has been faced with issues
relating to his time in the service, but says the resources SU offers to veterans have helped. SU has been a leader in veterans affairs since World War II and Chancellor Kent Syverud has recently called for an initiative to make SU the best school in the country for veterans.
A study conducted by Laura Steinberg, dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science, and a Corri Zoli, director of research at the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism, found that the biggest bar-rier for transitioning service members is fear.
“So you can take a young man or woman that may have spent three to five years while serving in Afghanistan and they’re more scared of coming to a college campus than they are serving in Afghanistan,” said Michael Haynie, vice chancellor for veterans and military affairs at SU.
Haynie said the wall between student vet-erans and non-veteran students is one that causes some of the most trouble at SU.
“It’s this whole idea of feeling like you fit in and that is the biggest barrier here at Syracuse.
How do we create an environment where vet-erans can come here as students and feel like they’re part of the SU community?” he said.
Both Preuss and Daniel Piston, a student veteran who studies health and exercise sci-ence at SU, said that the age discrepancy between the average college student and stu-dent veterans is a problem.
“It puts you at a completely different level as to what your responsibilities are in life,” Piston said.
Serving veterans is not new for SU. Fol-lowing World War II, SU Chancellor William Pearson Tolley served on the Presidential com-mittee that drafted the original GI Bill. Tolley enacted a uniform admissions program, which ensured all military personnel were admitted to SU upon returning from war. By the end of 1947, SU ranked first in New York state and 17th in the U.S. in veteran enrollment.
But since then, SU has dropped in the rankings of veterans affairs. In September, College Factual, a website that helps prospective college students, ranked SU the 348th best school in the country for veterans, but 114th in best quality. In Syverud’s inauguration address in April, he said he

The words tattooed on Brontë Schmit’s rib cage are more than just lines from a poem. They represent years of suffering and her decision to put an end to it.
The poem, written by Sierra DeMulder, is about victims of abuse. After being physically and emotionally abused by her father for most of her life, Schmit said the poem is an accu-rate and concise depiction of what it’s like to be a victim. The poem reads:
“I loved you head over handleslike my first bicycle accident —before the mouthful of gravel and
blood,I swore we were flying.”“I am able to express myself better
through other people’s words,” Schmit said. “This poem was just something that had really resonated with me.”
Schmit’s parents divorced when she was 2 years old, and she would see her father three times a week throughout her elementary school years.
Because her father was a doctor, a lot of her time was spent with him at
the hospital where he worked. “It’s weird to see someone who is
so in touch with humans and healing people be abusive,” Schmit said.
Schmit recalled one time when she was 12 years old — she locked herself in a room and called her mother to come get her. She didn’t see her father for six months after the incident.
Schmit describes her current rela-tionship with her father as minimal and manipulative. She said she has come to terms with his abuse, and now under-stands that it was not her fault. Schmit has not seen her father in five years.
“The hardest part is when he’ll call and try and make me feel guilty for leaving my two little sisters behind,” Schmit said. “I wish I could be there to protect them.”
The birds surrounding the tattoo symbolize her escape from the abuse and her efforts to make the best out of her situation.
“You just have to keep living your life,” Schmit said. “This was one of the things that motivated me to suc-ceed the most.”

Assembly creates THE General Body committeeBy Alexa Torrensstaff writer
The Student Association voted on Monday to create a seven-person ad hoc committee that will read and make recommendations about THE General Body’s grievance and demands document by Nov. 17.
Speaker of the Assembly Dan Hernandez will serve as nonvoting committee chairman and said SA won’t take a position with the stu-dent coalition.
“SA is not taking a full stance within the movement. We encourage you to make your own decisions,” Hernandez told assembly members.
The following assembly members were elected to the ad hoc commit-tee that will discuss THE General Body’s grievances and demands:
— Nia Boles, senior psychology and neuroscience major
— Matthew VanDemark, sopho-more music performance major
— Jack Harding, sophomore international relations and political science major
— Henry Hokura, sophomore international relations major
— Jessica Brosofsky, sophomore international relations major
— Lavina Sabnani, freshman international relations major
— James Franco, freshman politi-cal science and history major
Members of THE General Body joined assembly members at SA’s weekly meeting Monday in Maxwell Auditorium. Danielle Reed, a mem-ber of THE General Body, said the coalition represents more than 50 student organizations across campus.
These organizations have dif-ferent focuses, such as diversity,
mental health and sexual assault awareness, but they are all part of THE General Body.
“The belief is that everyone in this room is a member of THE Gen-eral Body,” Reed said.
Protesters have staged a sit-in and slept overnight in the lobby of Crouse-Hinds Hall since the Diver-sity and Transparency Rally on Nov. 3. The coalition also created a 45-page document that lists their grievances against the university, which include the closing of the Advocacy Center and cuts to SU’s Posse program.
“The ultimate goal of this move-ment is to have organized and rec-ognized coalitions between students and administration who are con-firmed to have power in decision-making and are constantly evalu-ated,” said Koy Adams, a member of the coalition.
The protesters who attended the meeting explained the purpose of the sit-in and answered assembly questions and concerns about their goals. Adams said the sit-in is a “last resort” tactic.
“It took us going on a rally to going to their administrative building for them to take us seriously,” Adams said, referring to administrators.
Ben Kuebrich, a member of the coalition, said the organization’s movement is important to SA because protesters are “fighting” for assembly members and “student empowerment on this campus,” which includes having SA members’ governance practices respected by the university and administration.
Since the sit-in began, SA President Boris Gresely has been granted access to email all undergraduate students about student life and campus issues.
“We are here to ask for SA sup-port because I think having SA support will definitely expedite this process,” said Jonathan Schmidt, a member of SA’s Student Engagement Committee and THE General Body.
All SU students also have the opportunity to engage in a discussion with administrators next Monday at 7:30 p.m. The tentative location for the meeting is Maxwell Auditorium.

Syracuse University has planned a series of events for Tuesday to honor the men and women who served in the United States military.
Events for Veterans Day on the SU campus include a National Roll Call on the steps of Hendricks Chapel, a Warrior Run, a Veterans Day Ceremony in Hendricks, a Veterans Day Luncheon and a Red Cross Blood Drive.
The Veterans Day ceremony, held each year in Hendricks Chapel, is the culmination of the day’s events. The ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. and Eileen Jevis, the com-munications manager at University College, said organizers are expect-ing more than 200 attendees.
“The highlights of the day are the keynote speaker, the University Singers and the ongoing support SU provides our veterans,” she said.
This year’s keynote speaker is retired Maj. Gen. John Batiste, U.S. Army. Batiste is a two-time combat veteran in the Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Batiste served as the senior military assistant to the Deputy

The low turnout rates of elections, particularly midterms, erode our democracy and heighten the risk of
electing representatives that do not reflect the values of the electorate.
According to a Wednesday U.S. News and World Report article, this midterm election had 36.3 percent turnout in comparison to 40.9 percent in the 2010 midterms. Decreasing voter turnout rates are particularly problem-atic considering those who turn out to vote are unrepresentative of the general population.
Considering the dismal turnout rates it
is crucial that we consider options to make voting more accessible and encourage people to get to the polls. We need to find solutions — such as election-day registration or online voting — to increase the voter turnout rates and get more people involved in politics.
Essentially, the low voter turnout rates are causing different groups of Americans to be represented more or less in the political system. These gaps can greatly affect the results of elections and are important to work toward resolving. For example, 18–29 year olds represented just 13 percent of those who voted this election, the smallest percentage of any generation eligible to vote.
In comparison to other democracies, the United States has abnormally low voter turn-out rates. Voting and general civic engagement is essential to the health of a democracy.
To fix low turnout rates, it is imperative that same day voter registration be expanded to as many states as possible. Currently, only 10 states and the District of Columbia offer
election-day registration. Appropriate mea-sures are being taken in these states to prevent fraud and ensure that only eligible voters are able to cast ballots.
In New York, in order to be eligible to vote in an election you have to be registered 25 days before the election. This poses a problem because most of the press and information surrounding elections is focused closer to the elections. It is important to allow people to register to vote the day of, when the election is in the forefront of their minds and when oth-ers are putting pressure on them to vote.
It is ridiculous that advance voter registra-tion exists in states like New York. It clearly has the potential to reduce the voter turnout particularly among young people who have had less opportunity to register to vote.
In addition to day of registration, other changes could make voting much more acces-sible. Some countries like Canada, Norway, Australia and Estonia have begun to imple-ment online voting systems. This increased accessibility would undoubtedly increase voter turnout.
Obviously there are some major concerns about security with online voting. In pilot online voting systems that were tested in
Washington D.C., hackers were able to break into the system in 36 hours. Because this is likely the major deterrent to online voting, it is absolutely essential that any online system is as secure as the current voting systems. But other experts argue that if state of the art technology was used that the system would have the potential to be secure.
Online voting may or may not be possible, but there need to be some major changes in the voting process to adapt to the changing needs of Americans. Online voting would not only cater to the needs and desires of young Americans but would also make voting more accessible for the elderly and disabled.
Overall, voting accessibility needs to be increased. Simple changes, such as the expansion of day-of voter registration would make voting more accessible. More extreme, and perhaps more effective, changes need to continue to be explored, such as online voting. Increasing accessibility for many groups would be very likely to make a major difference in overall turnout rates.

Syracuse University should continue to improve veterans affairs and place a special focus on helping student veter-ans adjust to the social aspect of college.
The university offers strong edu-cation programs for veterans, such as the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities program, which educates post-9/11 veterans with disabilities in entrepreneurship and small business management. But the university should also focus on how to help student veterans adjust to college life after the military.
In Chancellor Kent Syverud’s inauguration address last April, he said he wants to restore SU’s reputation as a top school for veterans. Syverud has since appointed a vice chancellor for veterans and military affairs, who is now working to make improvements to veteran affairs at SU.
As the university continues to work toward helping veterans, it should continue to look at different ways to make student veterans feel included and accepted. Student Association should consider adding a student veteran representative to its assembly. Although there is a Student Veterans
of America group at SU, having an SA representative would give student vet-erans an active voice on campus issues. There could also be a student veteran representative on the Committee on Student Life in University Senate.
To make veterans feel more comfortable in their classes, these students should have the option to fill out a form identifying themselves as veterans to their professors. Though not all student veterans will want to identify themselves, this could help those with special circumstances feel more comfortable.
SU should also continue to build its relationship with Fort Drum, a mili-tary base located about an hour and 15 minutes north of Syracuse. If the uni-versity has a close relationship with the base, it could help veterans from Fort Drum feel more comfortable coming to campus. It could also help the universi-ty better understand veterans and the environments they come from.
As the university places improving veteran’s affairs at the forefront, it should continue to consider ways it can help student veterans adjust to all aspects of campus life.

THE General Body believes it will be victorious in the end. However, due to their recent actions, it is almost a reality that they will only win what the administration has already gave them, which was mentioned in the most recent email by the school.
What THE General Body fails to realize is that they are not actually supporting the entire campus — only a small percentage — and it is egregious of them to believe that they will get everything they mentioned in their shocking, 45 page grievance
list. The majority of students either 1) still do not know what is going on, 2) believe THE General Body is ridiculous, or 3) simply do not care. Supporters of THE General Body say to the majority that they are ignorant and part of the white-privileged, hetero-hierarchy, racist institution that is Syracuse University.
THE General Body seems to condone these statements or simply ignores the fact that they are coming from the supporters.
According to a petition started by
THE General Body, only 743 people have signed it and they say that there are about 20,000 people in the school. If we round up the first number to an even thousand, we see that approx-imately only 5 percent of the school actually supports them. With 95 percent of the school in the other three categories I mentioned above, it is clear that THE General Body is not, in fact, a full representation of the general body.
As I mentioned earlier, some of the radical comments made by supporters of THE General Body have also
deterred people from joining them. On the social media app, Yik Yak (I understand its not a good example), many people have in fact voiced an opinion against THE General Body because of said radical comments and the supporters go on and make more radical comments on the posts.
If THE General Body wants to see some change, then they must reason with compromise, but it is quite clear that some stubborn are like a mule. They claim they are willing to negoti-ate, but stick their noses up when the
school offers to negotiate. Supporters say to be suspicious of any news from The Daily Orange or from the school, yet that is how must students learn about this.
Their immaturity toward the actions by the administration of a PRIVATE INSTITUTION has destroyed any chances of the sit-in being successful.

wants to restore SU’s reputation as a top school for veterans.
One of Syverud’s first steps to do this was through the promotion of Haynie to the role of vice chancellor for veterans and military affairs in May. Haynie, the co-founder and executive director of the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, served 14 years in the United States Air Force and also founded the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities program at SU, which educates post-9/11 veterans with disabilities in entre-preneurship and small business management.
“I think it speaks to our past, our present and our future,” Haynie said about Syverud’s commitment to improving veterans affairs. “What I appreciate about Chancellor Syver-ud’s commitment is it’s not ‘doing the right thing,’ it’s about doing the right thing for the institution. His commitment is about creating an opportunity for veterans to come here as students and make this institution better.”
Haynie’s tenure officially began on July 1
and since then, he’s been able to make small improvements to veterans affairs.
“To use a military metaphor, bureaucracies move like battleships, they do not turn on a dime. A lot of what I’ve been focused on ini-tially is just creating the conditions required for us to be the best,” Haynie said.
Haynie said he is working to create work-shops for non-veteran students, faculty and staff that are “sort of Veteran 101.” Haynie said Texas Tech University, which is the 7th best school in the country for veterans according to College Factual, has a program called the “Green Door Program.” Texas Tech held workshops similar to the ones Haynie is proposing and participants received a green door hanger after the workshop.
“What that was supposed to symbolize was, to a student veteran, on the other side of that door is somebody who gets me, somebody who I can talk to,” he said.
Haynie has also created a partnership with SU Athletics, in which before every home football game, a current member or veteran of the U.S. military is honored in a presentation known as “Hometown Heroes.” Haynie said “the first time we did it, to see the student body
stand up and clap, that was very, very powerful.”Haynie’s job also includes overseeing the
ROTC program and he said “it’s sort of both ends of the pipeline — we have a role preparing future military leaders and also empowering those who have served.”
Lt. Col. Michael Bianchi, professor of mili-tary science at SU, said what sets the SU ROTC program apart from other programs is Syver-ud’s vision and added that Haynie’s promotion also benefits the ROTC program.
“Having a vice chancellor for veterans and military affairs, for us, is clearly an advantage as we try to resource the hundred or so students we have in the program,” he said. “There is a vision and we are in that vision, so that’s good.”
While Haynie continues to develop his own goals, Preuss, the student vice president of SVA at SU, said Haynie has served as a sounding
board for ideas because of his experience cre-ating the IVMF and other veterans resources.
Preuss said a solution to professors being unaware of veterans in their classes is to have a “V” next to the veteran’s name on the class roster. By being aware of a veteran in the class-room, it benefits the entire class because of the experiences veterans can share, he said.
SVA is trying to build a program similar to a learning community, in which student veterans live together which will help veter-ans because “they’ll know what each other is talking about and strengthen that bond and connection,” Preuss said.
Going forward, Preuss said he wants SU to serve as the model for veterans affairs in higher education.
“I would like Syracuse University to be the cookie cutter,” he said. “Because I like to believe in underdogs and if you mold the underdog well enough, they will overcome things that people never would have thought. I feel like SU is on the forefront of being the cookie cutter.”
Said Preuss: “We don’t want pity. Don’t pity me, empower me.”

Secretary of Defense from 2001–02. Batiste was promoted to major general in 2002 and retired in 2005.
Both the SU Army ROTC and the Air Force ROTC programs will be present at the cere-mony. Lt. Col. Michael Bianchi, professor of military science at SU, said the ROTC programs
are there to honor the different eras of veterans.“We want to honor the past veterans, the
current veterans and especially those here at SU,” he said. “We want to tie that together and celebrate the future veterans and we are, or at least the students that we have, are the future veterans of the United States.”
The first event for the day will be a National Roll Call on the steps of Hendricks Chapel starting at 5 a.m. SU will join other higher education institutions throughout the U.S.
to read the names of more than 6,800 service men and women who have died since 9/11. The reading of the names is estimated to take about six hours.
At 6 a.m., members of the SU community will join SU ROTC units, local veterans orga-nizations and military personnel to run a 2.2-mile “Warrior Run.” The run will start at the Orange Grove on the Quad and was organized by the College of Law’s V.I.S.I.O.N. program, which stands for Veterans Issues and Support
Initiative and Outreach Network. Joel DeLand, an organizer of the run and
a student veteran, said the run highlights the veteran population at SU. There are currently 322 student veterans on the SU campus.
From noon until 5 p.m., a Red Cross Blood Drive will be held behind Steele Hall in the Quad 1 parking lot.

Smallmouth bass aren’t small anymore, according to a recent SUNY-ESF study.
As part of his dissertation at the State University of New York College of Environmen-tal Science and Forestry, Derek Crane published the article “Trends in body condition of native piscivores following invasion of Lakes Erie and Ontario by the round goby.” Crane’s article revealed an increase in the weight of smallmouth bass due to the rising round goby population.
Crane was the lead investigator in the study analyzing the fish populations in the Great Lakes and highlighted the research he has done in collaboration with the Department of Environmental Conservation Lake Ontario and Lake Erie Research Units in his article.
The round goby is a fish native to central Eurasia that has established many non-native populations in the Great Lakes when it was brought in through ballast water — discharge from ships — in the 1990s. As the round goby population grew, they affected the ecology and ecosystem of the Great Lakes. Anglers, a type of fisherman, as well as employees at the lake had been noticing weight changes in the native fish since round goby invaded Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario, specifically in smallmouth bass. Crane and his team set out to put numbers
to these empirical observations. “Basically what we’re looking for is, for
specific length fish, has the weight changed? And if so, how much?” Crane said.
All the information that Crane studied was based off of long-term data obtained by the DEC during its annual fish surveys, which have been taking place since the 1970s. It took Crane and his research partners about a year to collect the data and compare the samples of weights of the fish from 1993 to the present. He spent another six months working on the publication of his findings.
Other studies had already proven that round goby had been readily incorporated in the food web, but Crane’s research has shown that the increase has resulted in changes in weight. The increase is linked to how much the new species is being incorporated into the diet of the fish, Crane said. Up to 75–80 percent of the smallmouth bass diet is now round goby, which was a fast shift from their typical feed-ing on crayfish, native shiners and other fish.
Crane’s research demonstrated the eco-logical trade-offs going on with invasion of round goby; the positive side is that the fish, particularly smallmouth bass, seem to be
in better condition which can lead to faster growing, healthier fish.
“If you are in better condition, the thought is that you have better fat reserves and you are better able to survive because you have more energy stored and also more energy to put into reproduction” he said.
But a largely negative implication of this is that fish that grow faster tend to live shorter lives. There could be increased mortality in the fish in these lakes, which Crane hopes to
investigate in his next project. “There is definitely a trade-off and it’s a
really messy picture,” said Crane. “It hasn’t totally been sorted out but we can definitely say that smallmouth bass do seem to be in better condition in both lakes based on our analysis but the overall effects on the pop-ulation or the long-term effects … we’re still trying to sort that out.”
Crane is working on another study that relates to this data that focuses on the rate of growth of the fish in Lake Erie and Ontario; he had noticed during this study that the fish appear to be growing faster after the invasion of the round goby.
The round goby is just one example of how human action can dramatically and quickly alter an ecosystem, Crane said.
“We’ve brought in a massive number of inva-sive species — over 188 species — that have been documented in the Great Lakes, a large number of them through ballast water and shipping.”
Crane said he hopes that this type of research will help when making policies on maritime shipping and trade and bait trade as they will encourage thoughts about what can happen to an ecosystem when invasive species are introduced.
It hasn’t totally been sorted out but we can definitely say that smallmouth bass do seem to be in better condition in both lakes based on our analysis but the overall effects on the population or the long-term effects…we’re still trying to sort that out.Derek Cranephd candidate at suny-esf

The Multicultural Spring Program was the first item discussed. The program has been replaced by Own the Dome as an event for admitted students. Protesters want the old pro-gram reinstated. But Spina said the university has had success with Own the Dome, though they’re willing to integrate parts of the old Mul-ticultural Spring Program to improve it.
The next topic was the group’s demand of requiring diversity training for senior administra-tors, incoming students, the Department of Public Safety, department chairs and other groups.
Kantrowitz and Spina acknowledged the training is important, but there was discussion over who should facilitate the training, and who exactly would receive what type of training.
Administrators and students found common ground on the issue of increasing pay for gradu-ate students. THE General Body is proposing a 7 percent increase in pay for graduate students for each of the next two years.
“We need to get to $14,000 and beyond as quickly as possible,” Spina said. “I’ll be an advo-cate for this to happen.”
The two sides then discussed cuts to the Posse program, which was also talked about on Sunday night. THE General Body is demanding that the university honor its original contract with Posse, which would mean maintaining a program in three cities for the next five years.
“We’ve made it very clear we want you to honor the original contract with Posse and we’re not budging on that, so did you come back and say yes we agree to that?” asked Becca Glaser, one of the protesters.
“Not at this point, no,” Spina replied.
Spina added that the process of announcing cuts to the program “was not done well,” and that the university wants to maintain its rela-tionship with Posse. However, he said for SU to continue to support three Posses is a challenge.
“I believe taking some of those resources and putting them into other programs, I believe is going to impact more students,” Spina said. “I know it’s not popular, I know people are highly supportive of Posse, I am as well.” He added that current Posse scholars at SU are not affected by the cuts.
As a final point of discussion, protesters said they would not necessarily be leaving without administration signing a non-retalia-tion agreement. Spina said that’s a reasonable request, as long the process remains peaceful.
One protester pointed out that many solu-tions and commitments seem to be contingent on THE General Body ending the sit-in. However Spina and Kantrowitz said that isn’t the case.
“The things we’re committing to, we’re com-mitting to because we believe in them,” Spina said.
“I know that trust has been broken and I think we understand that and are sorry about that,” Kantrowitz said.
Protesters also asked for a written docu-ment of rules that they need to abide by, since many of them said that the rules set by the administration and the Department of Public Safety are constantly changing. Spina said a written set of rules would be provided by 10 a.m. on Tuesday
Students asked about the possibility of another meeting with administrators on Tues-day. Gonzalez said she would get back to pro-testers by noon on Tuesday about whether that would be possible.

Clark said Clark’s Ale House was the first real craft beer bar in the area, and offers an array of beers not typically found in Syracuse.
“He brought in microbreweries, craft beers and some imports from Europe that were not available here,” Clark said. “A lot of people had never had those types of beers.”
Clark’s Ale House was the first bar in Syracuse to carry Murphy’s Irish stout, which made it unique, Clark added. Since the bar started carrying it, three other bars in the area now also serve it.
Clark’s son opened the original Clark’s Ale House in 1992 in the current Landmark Theatre building on South Salina Street in Armory Square. However, Clark said that after 18 years of business, the Landmark Theatre received a grant to expand and took over Clark’s space.
“He still had two more years left on his lease, but he didn’t want to fight them,” Clark said. “He didn’t want to look like the bad guy holding up the theatre’s progress.”
The bar’s original menu consisted of 22 different beers and one
sandwich — a roast beef sandwich on a fresh-baked roll, straight out of the oven. Their menu has since expanded to include 35 different

@eric_ennisJust had lunch at the new Clark’s Ale House in @downtownSYR... it’s even more phenomenal than advertised. Roast beef so good I could cry
By Gigi Antonelle staff writer
When Clark’s Ale House closed four years ago, the owners weren’t sure it was going to ever reopen.
During its final week, loyal customers lined up out the door to say their farewells to the bar and to enjoy one last roast beef sandwich.
But they didn’t have to say goodbye for long.Clark’s Ale House moved into a new location in downtown Syra-
cuse on Nov. 1, and since then business has been booming.Ray Clark, the owner of Clark’s Ale House, didn’t know he was
going to reopen the bar until about a year ago, when a new space on the corner of East Washington Street and Salina Street opened up, said Doug Clark, Ray’s father.
“Ray fell in love with it,” the father said. “This is twice the size of the old place.”
Compared to the original location, the new East Washington Street location has more seating, a bigger and longer bar and a kitchen downstairs with ovens for cooking the beef. The pub-esque atmo-sphere appeals to both new and old customers alike.
Company performs play at SU
By Brendan Kriselasst. feature editor
The Spanish Shakespeare is coming to Syracuse University.
The Madrid-based theater com-pany Fundación Siglo de Oro will perform “Entre Marta y Lope,” at 8 p.m. on Tuesday in Grant Audi-torium. The show will be free and
open to the public, and although the play will be performed in Spanish, English subtitles will be provided.
The play follows the final days of a historical Spanish playwright, Lope de Vega, said Alejandro Garcia-Reidy, an assistant professor of Spanish who helped organize the event. He said as soon as the opportunity arose to bring the company to Syracuse, he immediately jumped on board.
“I knew the quality of their work and that it would be an incredible experience for SU stu-dents and the community to be able to see one of their plays here on campus,” Garcia-Reidy said.
Fundación Siglo de Oro has been on tour in the United States for about a month. Alejandro Librero, one of the play’s producers, said the company is working on establishing a network called the Golden Age University Theater Network with many American universities.
Librero said the company wanted to bring its brand of perfor-mance to an American audience, and the ability to tour throughout the U.S. has been an amazing expe-rience for the troupe.
“We believe what we do back at home, which is mostly classi-cal theater — although this is a contemporary text — it’s worth seeing. And it’s worth the effort of traveling and arranging this kind of tour to show it to Ameri-can audiences,” Librero said.
Although the play will be

beers, and the roast beef sandwich continues to be its specialty, although now its menu also contains beef barley soup, a fresh garden salad, coleslaw and various cheeses.
There are no waiters or waitresses at the restaurant. Instead all customers order food and beverages at the bar, which makes it a quick and convenient option for people who are in a rush.
Clark also takes pride in the affordability of the restaurant and its appeal to the working person. Its draft beers range from $1.50 to $6 per glass.
Since the reopening, Clark said customers have been mobbing the restaurant.
“We knew we would be busy,” Clark said. “We knew there were people everywhere who were anxious to have what we serve — stuff different than other restaurants.”
Because the original Clark’s Ale House was a special spot for many Syracuse residents, customer loyalty has been a huge factor of its success during the first week of business.
“There are a lot of loyal customers from the old Clark’s,” said Tonjia Droczak, one of Clark’s employees. “It’s really nice to see that.”
Amy Mannino, Clark’s granddaughter and a bartender at Clark’s Ale House, said she enjoys the fun, busy atmosphere of the new space. Man-
nino also worked at the original Clark’s.“Overall, it seems like everyone’s really
enjoying themselves,” Mannino said. “It’s nice to see familiar faces and acknowledge them and thank them for coming back.”
Clark said the goal of the bar and restaurant is to create a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere that
can be friendly to people of all ages. There are no televisions, pool tables or other distractions.
“You could take your grandmother in here, I could take my grandchildren in here,” Clark said.
Although they’re still working out some of the kinks that come along with opening a new restaurant — such as running out of free peanuts — Clark and the staff are excited for the future of the restaurant.
“We designed the place for what we like and what we want. We’re teaching people what they want before they even know what they want,” Clark said. “We want to get it right.”
Vega, said through a translator that he was worried about how Americans would respond to the play,
but that he has been pleasantly surprised with how well people have understood and appreciated it so far.
Eva Higueras, who plays Marta de Nevares, said touring the United States has been an enrich-
ing experience and although she had never per-formed for a foreign crowd before, she could still feel a connection during the performance.
“The subtitles help a lot in the understand-ing, but at times we manage to emit certain emotions going beyond mere words, with this universal language that everyone can under-stand,” said Higueras through a translator.
Ultimately that is the goal of the play — to connect with its audience through raw emotion and passion, Librero said.
“It is ultimately about this great love, this rela-tionship and what one has to go through when one is in such a relationship,” Librero said. “At the end of the play they say, ‘We live, we love, we fight,’ but that’s what everybody does, so that’s what makes the play great and makes the audience love it.”

performed in Spanish and audience members may not be familiar with Lope de Vega, Garcia-Reidy believes anyone is able to enjoy the performance.
While the play is about Lope de Vega, it is not focused on his work. Rather, it focuses on his complicated love affair with Marta de Nevares.
“It was a very passionate relationship, but also very dramatic because she went blind,” Gar-
cia-Reidy said. “So here you have a love relation-ship between a playwright and a younger woman who suffers these physical and mental problems and how the love between them is stronger than all these difficulties that they have to go through in the final years of their lives.”
The play is driven by passion, and people won’t need to understand Spanish to relate to the human emotions portrayed by the show’s two actors, Garcia-Reidy added.

In an average 40-minute commute to my class, I’ll get catcalled from the construction workers across from my bus stop. Men will
whistle and say things to me while walking from my bus to the metro. Then on the metro or the bus, creepy men will stare at me and the real weir-dos will wink.
This catcalling is an unfortunate manifes-tation of the machismo culture in Chile. Even though Chile’s president is a woman, the machismo culture is still strong in the Latin American country. But this culture presents itself in friendly ways — my host dad will open the car door for me and men will let me ahead of them sometimes when getting on the bus.
Unfortunately, most of the machismo culture is seen in the way men objectify women on the street. Imagine the clicking noise that people make at a dog — that’s what women hear multiple times a day. Random men on the street will say “hola” or more offensive Spanish phras-es. An older man followed my friend and I for a
block or two, saying that he loved us and wanted to marry us. To make the situation creepier, it happened at 5 p.m.
Some Chilean women find these instances to be compliments. But to a lot of Chilean women and myself, they violate our personal space and make us uncomfortable.
People shout from their cars. When I’m speaking English, the harassments turn into English phrases. “Hey, baby.” “How are you doing?” “Where are you from?”
According to my friends who look more foreign with blonde hair and blue eyes, the harassment is worse. My brown hair, brown eyes and olive-toned skin help me blend in, even though my origins are obvious once I speak. But in a society that favors lighter features, foreigners with those
characteristics will get more harassment. Sad to say, I’ve become used to this machis-
mo culture in the streets. I’ve learned to tune it out. But it still catches me off guard when it’s really obnoxious.
When I first arrived in South America, all of the harassment shocked me. Perhaps if I had lived in a city larger than Syracuse, I would have been more accustomed to the street harassment. How-ever, I was only used to hearing “Hey, pretty lady” from Gertis on Marshall Street.
The catcalling has never made me feel unsafe, except for when the older man followed my friend and me. Overall Santiago is a very safe city — one of the safest in Latin America. I’ve never felt unsafe when walking around at night. My friends from larger cities like Philadelphia or Miami consider Santiago to be safer than their home cities because there’s less gun crime.
If I had to get robbed, I’d prefer to do so in Chile. In Santiago when your phone or wallet gets stolen, you realize it after it happens. Pick-
pockets sneak their way around on the metro, on the bus or in crowded public spaces. In the United States, you’ll probably get a gun pointed at you and your possessions taken.
Here, the pickpocketing is more of an annoy-ance than a real threat. I have to make sure I’m holding my purse or backpack tight to my body. I can’t put anything of value in any outside pocket. Then again, those from cities larger than Syracuse probably are used to this.
Even though the difficulties of pickpocketing and machismo culture are common here, Santia-go has more to offer than these negative aspects. I love this city and the people here. Each country, the United States included, can have an ugly face to it. And sometimes that ugly face looks like the creeper who makes objectifying comments.

By Isha Damlestaff writer
Elisa Macedo Dekaney sees her music as a community experience.
That’s why she founded the Brazilian music ensemble, Samba Laranja, at Syracuse University with her husband Joshua Dekaney, a percussion instructor and director of the Career Development Center at the Setnor School of Music, in 2001.
“I think the music itself is very captivating. It’s good music, it’s accessible,” Dekaney said. “The music (is) about community, anyone can play it.”
On Tuesday, the group will release its third album “Pathways” and will perform at 8 p.m. in Setnor Auditorium.
Through the group’s music, Dekaney, an associate professor and chair of the department of music education, has brought Brazilian cul-ture to SU for over a decade.
Dekaney narrates three pieces on the album, two of which are Brazilian folktales accompanied by improvised music. She also created several original compositions and said the narration and originality of the album are part of what make it interesting.
“I think this album is special because it escapes the traditional format of just hav-ing music, just having melodies and rhythm,” Dekaney said. “I think the stories are a step into connecting music and literature, (with) free com-position and improvisation. I think that’s really interesting, and I think I got to put a lot more in this album than I did in the other ones.”
Samba Laranja, which means “Orange Samba” in Portuguese, is a class taught every semester by Dekaney and her husband. It is available to all SU and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students regardless of their musical experience or major.
“It was a great thing to make Brazil-ian music known to American students,” Dekaney said. “I feel very privileged to get to share the music of my country, my culture, the kind of music that I grew up in.”
From day one of class, the members of the ensemble learn to play Brazilian music, even if they have no experience.

“We pretty much throw them right into the deep end,” Joshua Dekaney said. “You don’t have to have ever played anything before and we can just give you some sticks, give you some mallets, teach you the parts right on the spot and start putting everybody together and play together right away.”
The group performed six shows at Jazz at Lin-coln Center in New York City on Oct. 24 and 25. Graduate student and ensemble member Claire Wilcox said the performances allowed the group to better understand Brazilian music.
“The festival in NYC was incredible because we really got to experience the whole idea behind Brazilian music as a life force genre of music being put to work,” Wilcox said. “We got to see how the audience reacts, how they take in the music. There was a Brazilian dancer who just got up and started dancing with us, and all these people started coming in and dancing and that’s kind of what the style of music breathes.”
The Dekaneys make an effort to include the talents of various musicians in the group. Instru-ments like the violin and flute have been used in arrangements based off of the talents of members. Next semester, the group will be experimenting with traditional African drums and accordions.
JOSHUA DEKANEY and his wife Elisa Macedo Dekaney have led Samba Laranja for over a decade. The ensemble is made up of students participating in their class. The group played at Lincoln Center on Oct. 24 and 25. drew osumi staff photographer
Group members change every semester depending on who takes the class, but some students, like senior music education major Stephanie Mata, return for multiple semesters. Mata has been in the group since her sophomore year and said part of the reason the group is able to successfully work together is due to how the
Dekaneys treat their students. “They respect us and we respect them,”
Mata said. “They treat us as valued musicians. Even if you don’t have a musical background, they will treat you as a musician and I think that’s why we do so well.”

out of the way.The final numbers weren’t pretty, but Jim
Boeheim was OK with Cooney’s shots.“I wasn’t OK that they didn’t go in,” the
head coach said. “He didn’t take a bad shot.”Cooney, largely responsible for SU’s offen-
sive downfall last year, struck out in the Orange’s 76-68 exhibition win over Carleton on Nov. 2, missing all four attempts from deep and all six overall.
Cooney’s performance rounds out a slow build-up to the season for the junior shooting guard, but not long after the game he was show-ered, dressed and not bothered by his struggles.
“I had some great looks tonight,” Cooney said. “I had a couple go in and out. I had a cou-ple I was laying back too much. That’s what exhibitions are for, you take from it and you learn from it and you move on.”
After misfiring on a 3 a minute into Mon-day’s game, the shooting guard nailed a jump-er from just inside the free-throw line 35 seconds later to end the Carrier Dome crowd’s customary stand-and-clap.
Nearly 10 minutes of game time later, Cooney threw down a two-handed dunk in transition to spark a subdued crowd and push SU’s lead to 11.
But his remainder of the half was not as enlightening, missing three jumpers and turning the ball over right after coming up with a steal — which earned him a “What are you doing?” from Boeheim upon returning to the sideline.
Cooney hit a 3 to open Syracuse’s scoring in the second half, but a minute later couldn’t cap-italize from the corner in front of SU’s bench.
“I’m fine,” Cooney said of his confidence. “I don’t think I made a lot of 3s last year in exhibition games. I’m very confident.”
With Adrian facing a height deficit — its tallest player was 6 feet, 5 inches — the Bull-dogs doubled Rakeem Christmas and Chris McCullough nearly every time down the court.
As Christmas scaned his options, he just looked for whoever is open, he said, which hap-pened to be Cooney quite often Monday night.
And Cooney said SU’s offense will run through its senior big man, which will create shot opportunities for him whenever oppos-ing defenses collapse on Christmas.
Finally, that connection worked with 3:42
remaining in the game. From the left block, Christmas found his shooter and Cooney drilled a corner 3.
But it didn’t work enough times for Cooney to leave the game with anything but assuredness heading into the Orange’s season opener against Kennesaw State at the Carrier Dome on Friday.
“He’s getting a lot of good shots,” point guard Kaleb Joseph said of Cooney. “He’s being confident, he’s open, he’s taking good shots and that’s what we need from him. We can’t ask anything else from him.”
Joseph scores 9 pointsAfter Michael Gbinije missed a 3 from the left wing, Joseph pounced on the long rebound and calmly drained an open jumper from the high post.
It was one of a few times he tried to score, and it’s what SU head coach Boeheim wants to see more of from the freshman point guard.
Joseph tallied nine points, all in the second half, to go with six assists in Syracuse’s 84-35 beating of Adrian on Monday night in the Carrier Dome, and the only criticism Joseph drew from Boeheim was that he didn’t look to score enough.
“I thought Kaleb, he’s got to be a little more aggressive,” Boeheim said. “He’s got to look to score when the opportunities are there and I think he will. But he’s playing very solid and I think he’ll find his opportunities there.”
Joseph took the game’s first shot 24 sec-onds in, but didn’t pull the trigger again until more than 13 minutes later in the game and finished the first half scoreless.
His make off the Gbinije miss were his first points of the night, but Joseph went to the bench 18 seconds later. He re-entered the game at the 7:17 mark, with SU well on its way to victory, and did so in attack mode.
After stealing the ball, he took it all the way to the basket for a transition layup, added a jumper 21 seconds later and canned a 3 to cap his contri-butions to Syracuse’s onslaught of the Bulldogs.
As the Orange heads into the regular sea-son after two exhibition wins, Joseph vowed to carry over his late-game surge.
“I felt like tonight, I didn’t need to score in order for us to be successful,” Joseph said. “I saw it as an opportunity to get my guys shots. I thought we took a lot of great shots tonight. We didn’t force many shots at all.

Orange. Simple perimeter passing stretched the Adrian defense. But for much of the game, Syra-cuse simply wasn’t making its shots.
In a two-minute span of the first half, five Syracuse players combined to take and miss seven shots, including a Ron Patterson layup, and five SU players also combined to snag six offensive rebounds. The Orange scored just three points in that time but led 15-6 after a pair of Chris McCullough free throws. Mon-day’s test was mental more than anything.
“We knew that we were bigger than them and more skilled,” junior guard Trevor Cooney said.
“But you got to come out and you got to come ready to play, no matter who you’re playing you got to come out ready. And if not it could be a close game and you never know what’s going to happen.”
SU’s shooting struggles were reflected in Cooney’s game. At halftime, he was shooting 2-of-7, 28.6 percent from the field. The Orange led 37-24 and it was after shooting 12-of-41, 29.3 percent, from the field.
But 58 seconds into the second half, Christ-mas punched away a Curtis Gordon shot. Sec-onds later, Adrian was whistled for its fourth of sixth shot clock violations in the game. Cooney hit his first of two 3s in the game on the next possession from just inside the right wing to give SU a 41-24 lead.
Two more Adrian shot clock violations, 10 minutes and 19 more Syracuse points followed before Adrian got a point. It was a free throw.
“Well we made a couple shots, we had a cou-ple improvements,” SU head coach Jim Boe-heim said. “… Second half we just made some more shots. That’s all.”
Boeheim continued to shuffle through his nine-deep lineup. Chinonso Obokoh, recovering from a right thigh tear, was the only SU player who played less than 20 minutes, playing 11. And no one other than Joseph and Tyler Roberson — who played 27 — played more than 25.
The uncontested shots that the Orange had clanked in the first half began to fall. When they didn’t, SU could count on breakaways against a
team that barely had time to spot the rim.As the game drained away, the Carrier Dome
crowd stopped celebrating blocks. Syracuse finished with 10 and the blocks more closely resembled kills in a volleyball match.
In the final five minutes, as a game that Adrian never led ticked away, the loudest cheers went up for McCullough’s layup with 4:24 remaining. Syracuse led 76-29. There was nothing left for SU to win in the game — besides free tacos for anyone with a ticket.
“I think it wasn’t too hard to manage the game tonight,” Jospeh said. “I think we got a lot of great shots and guys were aggressive, so this wasn’t really too tough.”

When Mitch Hooker was a senior in high school, doctors told him he would never be able to kick a soccer ball again.
Hooker had ruptured two discs in his back while carrying 50-pound bags of feed at a hardware store in his hometown of Richfield Springs, New York. He was on his couch for a month and couldn’t move.
But even worse, doctors told the lifelong athlete that he should stop playing sports.
Hooker didn’t listen and is now one of the best players on State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s timber team. During practices, Hooker can be seen hold-ing an ax high above his head and bringing it back over his body in one fluid motion, making quick, crisp chops into blocks of wood.
“I guess this probably isn’t the best sport for
me, but I really like it,” Hooker said.Hooker’s back healed in a one-year hiatus
from sports. When he felt better, he started playing intramural soccer and didn’t feel pain. So when he heard about the timber team at SUNY-ESF, he didn’t hesitate — and is now working toward the team’s spring meet, which it refers to as its “super bowl.”
“I came here and was just like, ‘You know what, I’ll just go for it,’” Hooker said.
Outdoor activities have been a part of Hook-er’s identity for as long as he can remember.
Growing up in Richfield Springs, which he described as the middle of nowhere, he only had three television channels. So he spent most of his free time running around his family’s 360-acre backyard, splitting wood and riding around on a tractor. But his background didn’t make him a great timber athlete right off the bat.
Stephen Tramposch, Hooker’s doubles partner on the timber team, remembers seeing
him struggle during his first few practices. “No one really knows what they’re doing
when they first start,” Tramposch said. “But it’s been cool to see him pick things up.”
ESF head coach Jason Schenck saw Hook-er’s strong work ethic and results soon showed. After a few months of practice, Hooker was able to do events such as the ax cut faster than most other players. At the spring meet last year, he placed fourth in a stock saw event. In a meet last month at Finger Lakes Community College, he placed third in a chopping event.
“He got into the sport really quick and was really interested in it,” Schenck said.
And Hooker has also been a selfless teammate. Last year, SUNY-ESF had no one to represent
it in a burling event, which has players balance on a spinning log, at a competition at Paul Smith’s College in Brighton, New York, so Hooker volun-teered. Conditions for his first time attempting the event were not ideal — it was snowing heavily
and temperatures hit 20 degrees.Since Hooker was rushing from one singles
event down to the burling site, he didn’t have time to change and was forced to do the event in shorts.
“It was so cold you couldn’t pick up and get your feet on the log,” Hooker said. “It was like everything was numb.”
Schenck said Hooker continues to look out for everyone, especially younger players.
With all the time he spends teaching team-mates, climbing up trees, rolling on logs and chopping blocks of wood, one would think Hooker’s back might get irritated again.
While he admits it hurt when he first started timber competition, the injury that was sup-posed to stop him from playing sports forever is now the last thing on his mind.
“When I first started chopping, I could defi-nitely feel it,” Hooker said. “But honestly, now I don’t even think about it.”

Halis takes advantage of 2nd start of season for SyracuseBy Matt Schneidmanasst. copy editor
A simple fake to his right was all Alex Halis needed to make Duke midfielder Nick Palodi-chuk look silly.
The sophomore forward then proceeded to do the same to three other Blue Devil defenders, threading a through ball into the box with the outside of his right foot to a streaking Nick Perea.
Perea was unable to finish, but the setup was indicative of Halis’ ability to create oppor-tunities in the attacking third.
“He’s a spark whether he starts or whether he comes off the bench,” forward Chris Nanco said.
Halis made only his second start of the year on Sunday, and he was just that — a spark. Aside from scoring the game-winning goal in the 10th minute, Halis wreaked havoc on the Blue Devils’ back line in the Orange’s 2-0 win that sent it to the semifinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament against Lou-isville on Friday. He led the Orange (15-2-1, 5-2-1 ACC) in shots on goal and showed that he has the quality to be included in the starting lineup, as he was in 17-of-18 games last season.
“No one wants to be a bench player,” Halis said. At times this year, the sophomore has expe-
rienced frustration, whether it be with nagging injuries, goal-scoring droughts or starting the
game on the bench.In away wins at Binghamton and Connecti-
cut, he was the last one over to the team’s post-game huddle, one time having to be consoled by SU head coach Ian McIntrye and the other by midfielder Juuso Pasanen.
But then there’s the other side of him. After scoring the game-winner against
Albany on Oct. 7, Halis threw his hands up in delight with an ear-to-ear grin and was mobbed by the SU bench. A hug with a field-side fan and another cluster of teammates sur-rounding him followed his goal against Duke.
Now the frustration seems in the past.“Goals change games but they also change
confidence in players,” McIntyre said.Halis said that his performance on Sunday
was one of his strongest of the year. Now, he’ll get the chance to follow it up against Louis-ville, a team he was sent off against on Oct. 17 after receiving a second yellow card.
He has one postseason goal already under his belt, and gaining momentum at the right time is something Halis said he’s “grateful” for.
“I’ve known him for so long and sometimes even if I’m defending him, I don’t know what he’s going to do,” Nanco said of when Halis gets on a roll. “It’s really hard to stop him.”
Nanco said his longtime teammate deserved to start SU’s postseason opener. McIntyre
admitted that Halis’ Sunday performance “cer-tainly” forces him to consider giving the sopho-more his first back-to-back starts of the season.
Halis himself won’t say explicitly whether he thinks he deserves to start, but to him, it
doesn’t matter as long as he’s producing.Said Halis: “I don’t really see myself as a bench
player, but if that’s how it’s supposed to be, if that’s how I can help the team then that’s fine with me.”

By Jacob Klingerasst. sports editor
By the time Adrian guards took their eyes off Syracuse defenders and the ball they
were flinging around the perimeter, the final seconds of the shot clock were ticking away.
It wasn’t that the Bulldogs forgot to shoot, just that too often scoring was an afterthought to not losing possession. SU’s poor shooting allowed its Division III opponent to stay within striking distance of the Orange in the first half. But No. 23 Syracuse’s final preseason game ultimately devolved into a full-court physical mismatch and learning experience, which SU won 84-35 in front of 7,680 in the Carrier Dome on Monday night.
“It doesn’t get frustrating to go on the court and think we’re better than anybody because that’s the mindset that we should have when we play against this team, Duke, North Car-olina, it doesn’t mater who we play against,” freshman point guard Kaleb Joseph said. “We should always go in thinking that we’re going to win and that we are the best team.”

After snapping a string of three consecutive misses, Trevor Cooney tried to keep what little momentum he had alive.
He hit a 3 to open the second half, but missed his next two attempts. Then he tried to will in another shot
from in front of SU’s bench.But Cooney came up empty again,
and punched his open palm in frustra-tion after a foul was called down low.
After not making a field goal in Syracuse’s first scrimmage against Carleton, Cooney finished 4-for-13 overall and 2-of-9 from 3-point terri-tory during No. 23 Syracuse’s 84-35 thumping of Adrian on Monday night in the Carrier Dome. Although ineffi-ciently, he chipped in 10 points to help push SU’s second exhibition opponent

Syracuse and Pittsburgh will start at 3:30 p.m. at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh on Nov. 22, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced in a press release Monday morning. The
release also announced that the game will be aired on ESPNU.
The game will come a week after an SU bye week and two weeks after the Orange was eliminated from bowl contention against then-No. 22 Duke in the Carrier Dome. The most Syracuse can do is win its last
two games and finish with five wins, which will not qualify the team for postseason play.
The Panthers most recently suf-fered a double-overtime, 51-48 loss to Duke on Nov. 1, and rested while SU faced the Blue Devils this past week. Pittsburgh is currently 4-5
with a 2-3 record in the ACC and will need two of its last three games — against North Carolina, Syracuse and Miami — to qualify for a bowl.
The last time Syracuse and Pitt played was in the Carrier Dome on Nov. 23 of last season, meeting for the first time as ACC football oppo-
nents after years in the Big East. The Panthers won that game 17-16 before the Orange salvaged a bowl berth with a 34-31 win over Boston College a week later. There will be no such drama this time around.
