SU Bookstore remains sole campus textbook provider
Policies set to report child abuse
sam maller | staff photographerThis past week, students have waited in line for about 15 to 20 minutes to buy their textbooks from the SU Bookstore. With the closure of Follett’s Orange Bookstore last spring, the SU bookstore is now the only place on campus for students to purchase textbooks.

At 9:30 a.m. on the first week of classes, the Syracuse University Bookstore is already buzzing with students navigating the aisles. It’s a familiar sight for bookstore employ-ees and students, a sort of tradition
repeated semester after semester.But unlike years past, there are
no longer any students making their way to Marshall Square Mall in search of textbooks. Follett’s Orange Bookstore, a longtime textbook sup-plier for SU students housed in the mall, closed in February.
Though there are numerous other ways to buy, rent and sell textbooks both online and in person, the SU Bookstore is now the only nearby, in-store option for students seeking to buy the textbooks their professors assign each semester.
The bookstore has been adjusting
to a slight increase in orders from professors who had chosen to use Follett’s in years past, said Kathleen Bradley, textbook and general divi-sion manager at the SU Bookstore.

After one student was hospitalized for an allergic reaction to dust, and members of the mathematics depart-ment complained that students on crutches didn’t have access to an ele-vator, Carnegie Library renovation
planners are reviewing procedures.The several million-dollar proj-
ect at Carnegie, home of the math-ematics department and Science and Technology Library, underwent construction for the first time while classes were in session last week. Planners expected renovations,
which began in May, to be complete or nearly complete by the start of the fall semester.
Members of the mathematics department raised concerns about the project’s effect on students and Eugene Poletsky, chair of the mathematics department, alerted
construction and university offi-cials of these concerns on Friday. Eric Spina, vice chancellor and provost, and Eric Beattie, director of Campus Planning, Design and Construction, dealt with the issue that day.

Syracuse University’s Joint Working Group met Friday to reflect on recent accomplishments, as well as discuss necessary changes for the future.
The Joint Working Group’s goal is to analyze SU’s policies and the university’s responses to allegations of misconduct. The group consists of both Board of Trustee members and university administrators, with trustee Howard Phanstiel serving as the chairman.
One of the Working Group’s major accomplishments was the recent release of directions for all staff and faculty to follow when reporting child abuse, said Kal Alston, senior vice president for human capital development.
“It’s a guide for people to know where they can get assistance if they see something,” Alston said. “Obviously, if they see something happening, we want them to call 911, but that’s not always what’s happening. Sometimes it’s just a suspicion or a question, and we want to give them the access to peo-ple who could help them unwind their concerns.”
The specific procedures, which were released on Friday, have instructions for mandated report-ers and “all other members of the University community” who wit-ness or have suspicions about ques-tionable behavior, such as child abuse, within the SU community. Mandated reporters are individu-als, such as physicians and psy-chologists, whose profession legally requires them to report suspected child abuse or maltreatment.
The document also emphasizes the importance of informing the Department of Public Safety and agencies such as the Syracuse Police Department of any suspect-ed abuse. This way, the university can keep track of what is happen-ing and “intercede in whatever way they need to,” Alston said.

FROM THE MORGUE >>A BIT OF HISTORY FROM THE DAILY ORANGE ARCHIVES
Agriculture and Syracuse University. Although the two seem to have little in com-mon, Sen, Hillary Rodham Clinton disagrees.
“Syracuse University is an integral part of any effort to try to include in the economy of New York state,” Clinton said Saturday morn-ing during a visit to the New York State Fair. “We’re looking for good idea anywhere we can find them.”
At a breakfast with about 400 people in the Empire Room at the Fair, Clinton a Democrat from New York, announced an Agriculture Advisory Group, which she created to inform her about the state. She organized the com-mittee, comprised of members from aca-demia and the private and public sector, in an attempt to better the upstate economy. No SU professors will formally advise Clinton, but several faculty members from Cornell University were included.
Coming from a home where farming is a way of life, former President Bill Clinton said of the two places in the state he felt he could help, upstate was one of them.
“I know one or two things about farming,” Bill Clinton said. “I’ve been fiddling with this stuff for 35 years.”
In the state and across the country, small farmers are struggling to subsist, with little help from the government or local residents, Hillary Clinton said. People need to be aware of where their food with its origin, she added.
With a system such as that set-up, “… colleg-es and other purchasers who buy food in bulk can choose New York products,” she said.
Part of the problem, Hillary Clinton said, is that few people in the state know how impor-tant the agriculture industry is to the econo-my — an issue easily remedied, she added.
After shaking the hands of nearly every guest at the breakfast, the Clintons trekked through a crowd of thousands awaiting their presence at the rest of the fair. The pair began visiting the fair in 1999 when Hillary Clinton was campaigning for elect office.
Sen. Clinton has only once come to the SU campus since her election. In March, she vis-ited SU’s New York State Center for Advanced Technology in Computer Applications and Software Engineering. There, Clinton spoke about a bill she had just introduced in the Senate that would help create jobs in the upstate area and improve the economy. No students were invited to that event.

Students explore different methods to obtain, keep work-study jobs
2012 Juice Jam sells most tickets in concert’s historyBy Erik van Rheenen
ASST. FEATURE EDITOR
This September’s Juice Jam concert featuring electronic disc jockey Cal-vin Harris and rapper Childish Gam-bino is the highest-selling Juice Jam concert in University Union history.
The official ticket sale count as of 3:30 p.m. Friday, the last ticket count taken, was 7,022 tickets, 22 more than the previous highest-selling Juice
Jam. Juice Jam’s 2010 concert, fea-turing mash-up artists Super Mash Bros., alternative rock band Passion Pit and hip-hop artist Lupe Fiasco, previously held the record.
“It’s really exciting to think that our undergrad population is around 13,000, and more than half of them bought tickets,” said Sarah Fleisher, director of public relations for UU.
The show has an 8,500-ticket
capacity. Students can still pick up tickets for the show at the Schine Student Center Box Office or online. Tickets are $10 for SU students, staff and faculty with valid identification.
“We definitely have the potential to sell out this year,” Fleisher said.
Fleisher credited the caliber of the concert’s headlining acts for playing a part in the record-breaking ticket

No matter how mild the storm, hear-ing another hurricane is bound for the Gulf Coast is a nerve-wracking experi-ence for Syracuse University students and faculty from the area.
“It makes no sense, but when some-thing bad is heading for Mobile, I want to go back there,” Victoria Pruitt, a senior magazine journalism major who has lived her whole life in Mobile, Ala., said in an email. “I just want to be with my family when something like that happens and it’s really hard for me to just have to sit here and watch for Facebook updates and wait for text messages.”
Hurricane Isaac, which was later downgraded to a tropical storm, hit the Gulf Coast last Wednesday, causing flooding and power outages throughout the area while simul-taneously dredging up memories of Hurricane Katrina, which first made landfall in New Orleans seven years ago.
While Katrina didn’t cause much trouble for Pruitt’s family, she said Mobile was shut down for about a week due to power outages, and the city hosted many refugees fleeing New Orleans.
Kevin O’Keefe, a senior policy stud-ies major who lived in Baton Rouge while he was in high school, said the worst part of Katrina was the number of people who fled to Baton Rouge, dou-bling the population of the 250,000-per-son city overnight.
When Katrina hit, O’Keefe’s father had just become chancellor at Loui-siana State University and had to adjust to the job while dealing with the destruction left by the hurricane. His father opened the LSU football and basketball stadiums to house dis-placed people, O’Keefe said.
Hurricane Gustav, which hit dur-ing O’Keefe’s senior year of high school, did much more damage in the Baton Rouge area, he said.
“Trees were blocking traffic, every-one’s yard was destroyed and no one had power for about two weeks,” he said. “Grocery stores limited each buyer to 10 items per person and you had to wait hours because of shipments not being able to get into the city.”
Andrew Waggoner, a music profes-sor who was born and raised in New Orleans, said it was not until Katrina that people in New Orleans realized

Approximately 6,000 Syracuse Uni-versity students obtain federal work-study jobs both on and off campus every year.
Though this is a high number, Human Resources Student Employ-ment Services Manager Camille Donabella said the number of stu-dents seeking employment is increas-ing, which means the demand for jobs may not match supply.
“The reality is that students across
the country need to work in order to offset the cost of attending school, so the job market may be quite competi-tive,” Donabella said.
New job openings are posted almost every day on www.sujobopps.com, a site where students can find and apply for both work-study and non work-study jobs at SU. Work-study applicants are often hired based on their availability, so willing-ness to work certain hours could be what leads to a job, Donabella said.
“Not all work hours are during the
day; there are a number of jobs where you might have to work evenings or weekends. If you have more availabil-ity, your chances of finding work may increase,” Donabella said.
Meredith Jeffers, a sophomore English and writing major and a work-study employee at Sadler Hall’s front desk, said she received an email last spring alerting her of available front desk positions. Her availability matched up perfectly with the shifts Sadler needed covered, and therefore she received the position.
Cassie Pettinati, a sophomore interior design major, said being proactive helps to secure a work-study position. Pettinati received her work-study job after going to Arch-bold Gymnasium during her first semester and asking the managers about job openings for the following semester. She said she went through the application process and secured a job within about a week.
“The interview process was really quick, and I think because I applied so

T here are thousands of possible lunch com-binations for the average student. Peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff, and
peanut butter and jelly are the most ubiquitous. Well, in the smartphone arena there are
dozens of manufactures, but the proverbial PB&J and PB&Fluff are Apple and Samsung, respectively. Apple holds the title as the United States’ most valuable company by market cap, weighing in at just above $600 billion. Samsung leads global manufactures with a 23.5 percent market share of cellphones. It’s evident both of these companies have formed a near oligopoly of the industry.
The first recipe of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich appeared in 1896 in Good Housekeep-ing magazine. Massachusetts baker Emma Cur-tis published the recipe for peanut butter and Fluff in her promotional booklet in 1918 to lure customers to the newly invented Fluffernutter.
Did Good Housekeeping sound the alarm and seek damages after Curtis potentially cop-ied the “look and feel” of its peanut butter and jelly sandwich? I doubt it.
But Apple filed its first lawsuit against Samsung in April 2011, in part for infringing upon the iPhone’s “look and feel.” Since 2011, variations of the lawsuit spread to 30 courts in four continents. Samsung has sued Apple for infringing on its patents regarding the Samsung Galaxy product line’s 3G technology. Apple’s assault is much more broad, encompass-ing the “look and feel” question.
What constitutes look and feel? When a peanut PB&J and PB&Fluff sandwich are placed side by side, do their outward appearances constitute differentiation or does quantification come after the first bite? Is user experience the unequivocal judge of intellectual infringement or can mere
industrial design dictate a product’s feel? Apple’s iPhone has proven to be a cash cow
for the company. The iPhone profit margin between April 2010 and March 2012 was a stag-gering 54 percent, and the iPad profit margin was 28 percent.
Apple was seeking intellectual patent infringement damages of $2.5 billion, dating back to the iPhone’s original release in 2007. In addition, Apple wanted an outright U.S. ban of Galaxy Nexus series products.
The recently released ruling from the San Jose, Calif., jury awarded Apple with a fruitful victory totaling $1.05 billion. Samsung was found guilty of infringing on several utility patents related to Apple’s iPhone and iPad. The awards from the trials are not of great importance, but rather the far-reaching legal ramifications have the potential to shape our purchasing options in the coming years.
One of the infringed-upon patents deals directly with Apple’s multi-touch gestures, like pinch-to-zoom or the manipulation of docu-ments by dragging. In some cases, 20 Android-
powered Samsung smartphones may be pulled from stores nationwide.
The nine-member jury was presented with dozens of charts, diagrams and prototypes that sought to prove that Samsung naturally innovated its products through traditional means, as opposed to Apple being the victim of a deliberate scheme to copy.
An undeniable truth is that both Apple and Samsung’s mobile hardware foster the 21st-century, high-tech entrepreneurial landscape, where innovative third-party apps vie for both user traffic and substantial monetary reward.
Samsung, the PB&Fluff sandwich in this situation, plans to appeal the decision, while Apple, the PB&J sandwich, heads for an injunction. The stakes are high across the globe, and this high-tech patent quandary will continue as these companies and others continue to innovate.

The issues at stake in the Middle East are com-plex and confusing. Not everything is, though — some things are just plain wrong.
The “advertisement” by the group, Facts and Logic about the Middle East, contained at least one assertion that was neither factual nor logical. The writer of the essay claims that the primary cause of the Palestinian refugee problem is that in 1948, “broadcasts by the advancing Arab armies appealed to the resident Arabs to leave their homes so as not to be in the way of the invaders.”
As anyone who has seriously examined this claim knows, it’s nonsense. And do invading armies typically prefer to move into territory cleared of all of their friends and inhabited exclu-sively by a hostile population?
More well documented — by Israeli histori-ans, it should be noted — are forced expulsions of the populations of Arab villages. Needless to say, the Arab armies also made Jewish villages disappear. It’s a complicated and tragic story, and propaganda pieces like this are depressing to anyone who yearns for a peaceful, just and humane resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Tenzin Gyatso, doing business as the Dalai Lama, is coming to Syracuse University as part of an event for peace. The university gave the Dalai Lama his own SU Internet page, and promotes him by calling him, “His Holiness.” The question is this: What makes the Dalai Lama so holy? How does the Dalai Lama qualify for a title of “His Holiness” when he talks about peace and compassion, but does the opposite of being peaceful and compassionate?
Here are some important details about the Dalai Lama: The Dalai Lama has spent his life as a Nazi sympathizer who embraces, promotes and champions neo-Nazis, convicted Nazi war criminals, violent terrorists and brutal dicta-tors such as:
Shoko Asahara: He is the “religious leader” who poured poisonous Sarin gas into the Tokyo Subway killing many and wounding thousands. The Dalai Lama praised him and, according to respected journalist Chris Hitchens, Asahara paid millions of dollars to the Dalai Lama as explained in an April 2008 NPR article.
Dr. Bruno Beger: He was an officer in Hitler’s Nazi SS and was convicted of perpetrating mass murder at Auschwitz, a Nazi Death Camp in Poland. Beger was a lifelong friend of the Dalai Lama, and the Dalai Lama promoted a book written by Beger. Beger claims that the previ-ous Dalai Lama’s government invited Hitler’s
Nazi SS to visit Tibet.Heinrich Harrer: He was also an officer in
Hitler’s Nazi SS and in Hitler’s Nazi Storm Troopers according to a Jan. 10, 2006 New York Times article.
Harrer and Beger were both officers in Hit-ler’s Nazi SS organization. It was Hitler’s Nazi SS that ran the Nazi death camps and Nazi concentration camps. Hitler’s Nazi SS was responsible for the deaths of many millions of men, women and children. This same Hein-rich Harrer, lifelong friend of the Dalai Lama, did a photo op with Adolf Hitler himself.
Did you also know that the Dalai Lama admitted to the New York Times on October 2, 1998, that he headed his own armed guerrilla army to fight the Chinese? So what does a holy man need a guerrilla army for?
So the major question is this: With the sordid past and present of the Dalai Lama, why address him as, “His Holiness”?

The reason we celebrate Labor Day is largely because of the contributions made by unions to the betterment of America’s workers. The idea of a Labor Day holiday itself was con-ceived and promoted by labor organizations.
The numerous beneficial influences of organized labor cannot be ignored. Most of the benefits workers now enjoy are directly attrib-utable to unions. To cite but a few: the 40-hour work week, paid holidays and vacations, sick leave, grievance procedures, collective bar-gaining and generally superior wages.
Unfortunately, succeeding generations have come to take those benefits for granted. Most of those benefits came about because of unions and soon became the norm for union and many non-union workers, as well.
All American workers owe a debt of grati-tude to organized labor for its achievements.

“W hat are the kids into these days, Kevin?”
I was in a meeting the other day when someone sitting at the table, a middle-aged man, turned to me and asked me that question. People who know me would laugh because I’m quite possibly the worst spokesman ever for Generation Now, but in this context (ignoring the mildly creepy phrasing of the ques-tion itself), we were talking about literal kids of 13 or 14 years old.
I had absolutely no idea how to answer the question.
I stammered out some gibberish about Justin Bieber and iPods, and we moved onto a different subject. But the question stayed with me, and I realized something pretty strange: We’re the last generation that knows anything about the non-technological world of just a few years ago.
What are people going to be like in the future, now that each new genera-tion’s birth, life and death exist in binary code?
The kids born from about 1989-1993 are bridging the gap between the terrestrial universe and the universe where we post pictures on the Internet of every meal we eat for everyone to see. We grew up and became adults while simultane-ously cellphones, computers, and everything else matured at the same time. Suddenly all devices have some kind of camera in them. All our medical, financial and per-sonal information is stored in hard drives rather than file cabinets.
When I was a kid (I guess being 21 means I no longer qualify as a “kid.” I couldn’t drink when I was 7), I had to remember every single phone number I would ever need — all my childhood friends, my relatives, my school, my doctor — all of it was in my head. Numbers we couldn’t remember were written down on a sheet of paper taped to the back of a cupboard in the kitchen.
Now I can remember my house
phone number and … that’s pretty much it. Everything else is in my phone. If my phone dies, utter catastrophe. I am unable to func-tion as a human.
Radio, books, newspapers, televi-sion, film: just a few of the mediums that got destroyed (though professors in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications would feverishly tell you that they’re “evolving”) dur-ing our adolescence.
Kids after us — the generation in high school now — they’re the first ones to grow up entirely under the cloud of instant gratification. It’ll be interesting to see how they’re different from the rest of us. I see this going one of two ways: They’ll develop into superhuman informa-tion-spewing droids that turn our society into something out of a Ray Bradbury novel, or they’ll regress into fat blobs of sugar like the people living on a spaceship in “Wall-E.”
But my being wholly unable to shed light on the cultural prefer-ences of people just a few years younger than me pretty well illus-trates how stratified we’ve become in the past decade or so. Do I feel a million years old right now? You bet. What are the kids doing these days? MyFace? Do they still watch SpongeBob? Are we doomed to some kind of Twitter-based apocalypse once we hand over the reins to the next generation? Probably.
However, it’s possible you’re asking the wrong guy. I still have a BlackBerry. So what do I know?

As part of the Department of Public Safety’s pedestrian safety campaign, officers will attempt to reduce dangers on campus streets by handing out information cards and talking to students on campus. At a university level, it would seem this kind of education should not be necessary, but history at Syracuse University proves otherwise.
The Comstock Avenue and Uni-versity Place intersection is undeni-ably one of the most dangerous and populated intersections on campus, and it deserves special attention. In the spring semester, two students were hit by cars on Comstock Ave-nue. Based on information DPS has accumulated about the intersection, the problem seems to rest with the pedestrians and not with the cars.
The nature of Comstock Avenue is
inherently dangerous — its slight hill makes it difficult for drivers to see. The road, two lanes on each side, is wider than is customary.
There are many steps com-munity members can take to help alleviate the problem. Having more police in the area could discourage students from jaywalking, and it could ensure an officer is on the scene in the case of an accident. Adjusting the time of the walk signal and green light could keep students from crossing the street when they are not supposed to. Enforcing the speed limit could help slow cars down.
Students must be patient. Being
a few minutes late to class is better than potentially being struck by a car. They also should not wear headphones while crossing the street, which drowns out traffic noise and increases the risk of an accident occurring. Students who are out on a weekend and who may be drunk have slower reac-tion times and muddier thought processes. It would be impractical to expect students to change their social patterns and would be dif-ficult to change the nature of the road, so more plausible, easier steps can be taken.
Drivers should know they are driv-ing through an area with heavy foot traffic and should slow down to avoid injuring a pedestrian.
It may seem simple, but these accidents are often preventable.

books Follett’s was ordering and using, so there’s been a learning curve for us,” Bradley said. “But it’s been working well.”
Online textbook sellers along with students buying and selling books themselves are the only form of competition for the bookstore that remains in the wake of Follett’s closure. But it has been difficult to judge how sales have been because the store is busy with classes starting, Bradley said.
“I’m thinking they’re going to be alright,” she said. “We’re not so much concerned with sales as much as making sure we’re getting stuff into the students’ hands as soon as possible.”
Bradley also noted she has seen an increase in students placing their book orders online through the SU Bookstore.
The bookstore has the advantage of proxim-ity, as students can pay a visit to the Schine Stu-dent Center instead of waiting for their books to be shipped from locations across the country.
For sophomore international relations major Adam Roecks, that proximity was key. He bought all his textbooks from the SU Bookstore this semester, though he said his preferred method is ordering online on websites like
Amazon.“I didn’t really have the time to order them

for class,” Roecks said.Alexandra Hordes, a freshman child and
family studies major, also relied on the SU Bookstore for her textbooks. She elected to order them online and have them sent to her dorm room in Day Hall so she wouldn’t have to carry them.
Others, like sophomore Beth Waters, put a little more time into finding better prices. The forensic chemistry major said she joined Face-book groups and posted what she was looking to buy or sell.
The average annual cost for college textbooks per student is $1,260, according to a Jan. 31 news release from the 20 Million Minds Foundation. Bradley said she recognizes the expense at which students buy textbooks.
“The books are expensive. I’m not going to say they’re not,” she said.
Bradley noted the bookstore’s rental and guaranteed buyback options for students. The amount of used books available this year is the largest she has seen in her 26 years at SU.
The bookstore tries to maximize the avail-ability of guaranteed buyback, Bradley said, but late orders from professors often stand in the way of doing so.
“It’s hard. It’s so frustrating when faculty members don’t place their orders early enough before the end-of-semester buyback, and what’ll happen is all the students go home, and they didn’t get what they should have gotten for their books,” Bradley said. “It’s unfair to our students.”
Even more change lies ahead for the SU Bookstore. In July, the Syracuse Industrial Development Agency voted in approval of a 30-year tax exemption for the development of a new bookstore on University Avenue.
The current bookstore in Schine will relocate to the University Avenue location, which will also host a fitness center, Bradley said. Schine
structurally cannot support the bookstore on its main level, so the new space will be a better allocation, she said.
Tom Valenti, a developer involved with the project, said he hopes to have the new facility ready by fall 2013, according to a July 9 article in The Post-Standard.
“There was some holdup over the summer,” Bradley said, “But it’ll be a nice opportunity.”

UP AND COMINGThe Syracuse Common Council voted 5-4 in July in favor of a 30-year payment in lieu of tax agreement for a new Syracuse University bookstore. The store will move from the Schine Student Center to a new location on University Avenue. Cameron Group LLC, a private development com-pany, will build the store, rather than the tax-exempt university. SU will lease the property to the Cameron Group for $1 a year, but the private development compa-ny is not tax-exempt. Because the com-pany can only complete the project with tax breaks and will employ 10 workers, a PILOT was secured. Cameron Group LLC will pay the city of Syracuse $64,400 a year over a 30-year period.
reporting child abuse took a significant amount of time, Alston said. The document went back and forth among various parties to make sure it had the right components.
“We got a sense that individuals may not be
entirely comfortable or sure of what they’re seeing,” Alston said. “They’re not sure what it is. People are human beings.”
Another major accomplishment that was discussed in the Working Group’s meeting was the policy changes made to summer programs.
With 5,000 school-aged children part of the SU summer programs, the university provided additional training and discussion
with those managing camps or individuals who may interact with children. Parents and participants were provided with information of who to contact should any concerns arise.
Members of the Working Group will be meeting with supervisors from the summer programs to address any issues that might have occurred. Alston said she didn’t think there were any major problems due to her close contact with those in charge of the summer programs.
Alston also recently hired a Title IX officer, Cynthia Maxwell Purtin. She said Purtin will be deeply involved in policies relating to sexual harassment, abuse and assault. As Title IX officer, Purtin will also deal with issues encom-passing gender equity in education, specifi-cally in regards to sexual harassment, equity in access to programs and equity in science, technology and athletics.
The Working Group has given the Athletic Department’s policies priority, Alston said.
The Working Group has worked with the Athletic Department to rewrite five policies.
Such changes include an age limit regard-ing the participation of minors at basketball games, an emphasis on the no hazing policy and the supervision of minors during team practices.
The Working Group is currently in the pro-cess of rewriting the Athletic Department’s employee handbook.
Alston said that the handbook was “getting dusty” and needed to be updated. The new handbook will be online and more dynamic.
“We really addressed the major issues that were particular to athletics and were successful in moving on to the broader cam-pus,” she said.
The Working Group’s current priority is
to provide the SU community with thorough and proper training. The plans for training were made in the summer, but couldn’t be executed until students, faculty and staff were back on campus.
“We will be doing one set of training for people who do investigations and one for people who are on the various adjudicating bodies, such as the Office of Judicial Affairs,” Alston said. “All of those folks will be getting a thorough training in the policies and the ways in which they should think about adju-dicating those cases.”
There are also plans to develop a broader training with the potential help of an online element, Alston said.
“We can’t get 17,000 students and 8,000 employees in one room,” Alston said. “We’re going to work through the best ways to touch the most people with information because it’s helpful for people to know what the policies are and how they’re responsible for carrying them out.”
Alston said she thinks the Working Group will continue through the end of the academic year, but said she hopes it accomplishes a major-ity of its goals by this December.
Said Alston: “It never pays to be too satis-fied in our efforts, but I do think people have worked pretty hard to get us to this point and I feel like we have a pretty good road ahead of us.”

WORKING TOGETHERThe Joint Working Group, composed of seven SU Board of Trustees members and university administrators, was formed in response to child molestation allegations made against former associate men’s basketball coach Bernie Fine. The Work-ing Group analyzed policies involving the university’s management of young people, sports programs, intern programs and summer camps. The Working Group recently released directions for all staff and faculty to follow when reporting child abuse. The directions also emphasized the importance of informing law enforce-ment agencies of any suspected abuse. The group also made changes to policies for the university’s summer programs.

sales. Harris is creating buzz by performing before the release of “18 Months,” his third studio album slated for release at the end of October. Childish Gambino appeared at most of the summer’s largest festivals, including Lol-lapalooza in August, Bonnaroo Music Festival in June and Coachella Music Festival in April.
“They’re huge names right now and have been trending,” Fleisher said. “Especially since Calvin Harris has collaborated with some big-name artists, including Rihanna.”
Fleisher also said both artists have grown in
popularity after being nominated for this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. Childish Gambino’s “Heartbeat” is nominated for Best Hip-Hop Video and Harris’s “Feel So Close” earned a bid for Best Electronic Dance Music Video.
University Union has yet to announce Juice Jam’s special opening act, but plans to in the coming days. Fleischer said that the organiza-tion is still finalizing details for the act.

Students enrolled in upstate New York universi-ties aspiring to start their own companies are now turning to the Syracuse Student Sandbox.
The Sandbox, a local business incubator for fledgling college students and young entrepre-neurs, was recently rated as one of the most promising business mentorship programs in the country.
The Sandbox conducts three-month-long programs to teach aspiring business owners how to form an entity for themselves, to give feedback regarding products under progress and to ensure readiness and financial stability, according to the Sandbox’s website.
In August, the Sandbox’s summer program concluded with Demo Day, an event in which groups of students pitch their ideas for prod-ucts to an audience of corporate representa-
tives and a panel of judges offers criticism.At the end of the day, Camille Malkiewicz,
who earned her master’s degree in advertising at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Commu-nications in June, was rewarded $1,000 for her craft kit idea, Craftistas.
“This year, teams had an opportunity to pitch their ideas and services to about 30 accred-ited institutions present, and Craftistas has a very strong chance of becoming successful,” said John Liddy, director of Syracuse Student Sandbox.
Malkiewicz said the physical space provided by the Sandbox, in addition to the business con-nections, was invaluable to her in the beginning stages of Craftistas. She said she is appreciative of the people at the Sandbox that helped make her vision a reality.
Malkiewicz said the combination of the com-munal aspect of the Sandbox and the hard work
of the mentors and staff makes the program a helpful tool.
“The Sandbox is the ultimate access for any student who wants to start a business but doesn’t have the resources,” said Nick Mancini, a senior information and technology major who launched three apps through the Sandbox. “Nine times out of 10 you will not succeed on your own, but the Sandbox gives you an opportunity.”
Mancini, whose most popular app, UpFront, notifies restaurant goers when their table is ready, attributed the Sandbox’s success to the quality of the mentors and means provided.
“They offer so many good resources that you usually don’t have access to and, over the two years I’ve been involved, it’s gotten better and better,” Mancini said.
In 2010, 12 teams of students signed up with the Sandbox in the summer to develop product ideas and gain personal experience in business,
according to the website.In 2012, 68 students from seven different schools
participated in the 12-week program, Liddy said.Mancini said the Sandbox “grants an oppor-
tunity that doesn’t exist for a lot of students,” by mentoring them on how to “deliver oneself and one’s ideas to big corporations.”
Liddy said one of the benefits of work-ing with the Sandbox is that it creates “a soft landing patch for students,” in case a business idea fails. Most importantly, the Sandbox works to promote auspicious prod-ucts and services, and establish a career for hardworking, young entrepreneurs.
Said Liddy: “If we can provide a realistic opportunity for students, after graduation, to create their own career instead of pursuing one, then we’ve done our job.”
the destruction that hurricanes could inflict.“When there were storms, some people
would stay behind and have a big party,” he said. “It wasn’t taken very seriously.”
But Hurricane Katrina changed all that. While Waggoner’s family now lives farther inland, Katrina destroyed the neighborhood Waggoner grew up in.
“Katrina showed everyone and really made clear that the whole area is extremely fragile,” he said.
Waggoner said the Netherlands, a nation
that exists largely below sea level, is a prime example of what technology and large amounts of public funds can do to prevent flooding and storm damage. But similar investments have not been made in New Orleans, he said.
“There’s been a lot of talk about how the Army Corp. of Engineers has improved (the levees), but this was a relatively small storm,” he said. “If we have another Katrina-type storm, they might be in trouble.”
Local meteorologist Tom Hauf said he agrees and that the real problem with hur-ricanes like Katrina and Isaac is the amount of rain they produce.
“Hurricane Katrina was a category-three
storm, and after it hit, the media packed up thinking the storm was over,” he said. “Then the flooding began and they had to unpack their bags. Everyone is under the impression Katrina was a huge storm.”
As stronger hurricanes that bring more rain become more frequent, and erosion of the land around New Orleans continues, Wag-goner said he fears the city may not be habit-able for much longer.
“It’s a vicious cycle,” he said. “It’s very hard to watch.”
A student who originally had a math class in Carnegie had to have classes transferred to sessions meeting outside of Carnegie after being hospitalized for a severe dust allergy during the first week of classes, Poletsky said.
Beattie said the dust control procedures for the renovation project are under review, and improvements to prevent dust from escaping work areas will be made where possible. He said he does not recall another instance of a serious reaction to dust as a result of construction on campus.
A professor in the mathematics depart-ment encountered a student on crutches hop-ping up the stairs due to confusion regarding use of the elevator. It was unclear whether the first floor entrance granted access to the elevator, located within the library section of the building, or if a key was needed. The accessibility issue was addressed after the professor reported it.
Keys will now be available at the main desk at the entrance of the library for students to gain access to the second and third floors, Beattie said.
The renovations include a fully acces-sible elevator that is in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and does not require a key. Beattie said the accessibility improvements to the building are a priority of the project and, although an installation date for the new elevator is not set, the elevator will most likely be installed within the next two years.

far in advance, it was a lot easier,” Pettinati said.Some students choose not to pursue work-
study jobs because of involvement with other activities or internships, Donabella said.
Sarah Hosie, a sophomore biology major, qualified for work-study but said she doesn’t have time to go through the process of search-ing for a job with her busy schedule. Instead, she said she will be a teaching assistant for a biology lab and will volunteer at several animal shel-ters, which will allow her to focus on her major.
Many jobs on campus are secured for stu-dents who qualify for federal work-study, and students who do not qualify are excluded from applying, making the process of finding a job quite difficult.
Sophomore Chris Jacques, a chemical engi-neering major, did not qualify for work-study but wanted a paying job, so he applied to be a
peer advisor for engineering students.“I wanted to help the freshmen with their
transition and make sure their first year was much easier than mine,” Jacques said.
If a student who qualified for work-study can’t find an open position, Donabella said there are a few alternatives. Students can use their work-study awards during the sum-mer through various nonprofit organizations across the country. Students can also obtain work-study jobs at nonprofit organizations in Syracuse, such as the SUNY Upstate Medical University and the new 3fifteen thrift store, she said.
Donabella recommended that students keep an open mind when applying for jobs. Though some jobs may not seem ideal in terms of responsibilities and hours, they could end up being a good fit.
Said Donabella: “Not only does a job provide you with a paycheck, but it gives you the oppor-tunity to build a strong resume, learn new skills and meet new people.”

Lawsuit may allow Apple to increase smartphone market dominance
By Andrew FeldmanSTAFF WRITER
A pple was awarded $1 billion on Aug. 24 in a patent infringement lawsuit between Apple and Samsung regarding similarly
designed smartphones.Apple accused Samsung of stealing some
of its patented ideas, most notably the “pinch-and-zoom” function, which allows a user to interact with the screen and maximize images by pinching it.
“Design patents deal with how something looks or feels to the user, not the underlying technology that makes it work that way,” Jason Dedrick, an associate professor in the School of Information Studies, said in an email.
The “pinch-and-zoom function” patent cor-responds to simply opening or minimizing an
application, which are generic operating system functions, said Janet Marsden, a Ph.D. candi-date in the iSchool.
The lawsuit argued that Apple owns the idea of the finger motion itself, rather than just the exact software code that creates the motion, she said.
Scott Fay, associate professor of marketing in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, said in an email that he expects Samsung to appeal the decision. But if the verdict remains, the ruling could have a very large impact on the smartphone industry, with huge benefits for Apple.
“(Apple) would effectively be able to limit their competition, either by forcing competitors to remove their products from the market or by charging competitors license fees in order to keep their products on the market,” Fay said.
“Either way, Apple benefits by having higher market share and/or collecting royalties.”
Consumers may also be hurt by such strict enforcement of patent laws. The laws will limit the amount of product choices, which will force competitors to raise prices due to licensing fees. In order to remain competitive, Apple may also raise its prices, Fay said.
Fay said it was more difficult to predict the broader implications of the verdict. The ruling could indicate the court’s willing-ness to uphold tenuous patents, which would mean more patents would need to be secured, thus leading to even more lawsuits due to patent violations.
He said both of these factors would make working in the smartphone market more expensive and would also give consumers
fewer products to choose from. This could just be a single ruling that
does not change the court’s policy on enforce-ment of patent laws, Fay said. Samsung has other smartphones on the market that did not violate patents, so it may just market those more extensively. Samsung could also develop smartphones with slight changes, such as changing the shape of the phone, thus avoiding patent infringement.
Said Fay: “Technology is constantly evolv-ing, as are consumer preferences. So, the ‘best’ smartphone two years from now is likely to be quite different than the ‘best’ smartphone on the market today, regardless of what the court ruled in this case.”

F our months, 50 pounds. Are you kidding?When beginning the packing process
last week, I glanced incredulously between the one bag I was allowed to bring and a closet bursting with clothes. “How is this ever going to work?” I thought, while simultane-ously trying to calculate how much begging it would require for me to convince Mom to split the cost of checking an extra bag.
Fast-forward: I leave for Istanbul, Turkey, on Wednesday and, miraculously, I’ve pretty much made my weight limit. Although, being that girl walking around the airport wearing 75 percent of the jewelry she owns will definitely help.
Though the winnowing process was intense and yes, at times painful, recognizing the dif-ference between certain articles’ metaphysical and physical weights helped me let go.
Packing the heavy, barf-colored sweater I’ve insisted on wearing to family holiday parties for the last few years may have knocked out about six different T-shirt options, but at least I’ll have something to curl up in on Thanksgiv-ing or Christmas when I’m missing my fam-
ily. Bringing the pair of bright yellow sneakers that carried me all over New York City might mean I don’t have room for my gold sequined skirt, yet every time I look down at my feet, I’ll see not just where I’m going, but everywhere I’ve been.
Of course, there were also more practical packing decisions.
Goodbye, five-inch wedges, which wouldn’t fare well on Istanbul’s hilly streets. Hello, chunky, short boots, ideal for mosque visits, ruin explorations and hiking the ancient foot-path, the Lycian Way. Out go the short dresses and neon tops in favor of longer skirts and a rainbow of cardigans. Not only will dressing
more conservatively show respect for the fact that I’ll be studying in a predominantly Mus-lim country, but I also hope to avoid looking so blatantly foreign, even though my mangled pronunciation of the Turkish word for thank you — “tesekkur ederim” — will probably give me away.
Replaying the same disc of “Teach Yourself Turkish” ad nauseam while stuffing belongings into a suitcase brought back a rush of memo-ries. I remembered preparing for family vaca-tions and weeklong excursions with friends, the thrice-consulted checklists and the last second scramble to squeeze in one more pair of flip-flops. I recalled the times I’d seen my friends packing their bags to go abroad — their giddy excitement now my own.
I remember some of the unpacking, as well, and how almost everyone has told me how four months end up going by too fast. I pictured myself three years ago, packing for Syracuse for the first time; how then, like now, I was launching myself into a grand adventure with no real idea of what to expect.
Packing up inevitably means leaving
certain things behind, and as I plant my last goodbye kisses on cheeks and lips, and dole out my final hugs, I wish that certain peo-ple could scrunch up and hop in my suitcase to come with me, although that would mean chucking out a few more dresses. At least stamps and postcards are light, and Skype doesn’t weigh a thing, thankfully. And, I have room to slip in that friendship bracelet, this birthday gift and one borrowed T-shirt I “forgot” to return.
Much like John Denver, all my bags are packed and I’m ready to go. Unlike Mr. Denver, I do know when I’ll be back again: In Janu-ary, I’ll be leaving on a jet plane on my way home. However, I have a feeling I won’t be exactly the same person when I return as I am now, as I prepare to leave. Who knows what else I may have packed with and within me by the time I return?

ism and information management and technology dual major. Her column appears every Tuesday.

the Stop Bias campaign, the Beyond Compli-ance Coordinating Committee student group, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and the Office of Disability Services and the Disability Cultural Center. SU is the first university to
create so many new organizations devoted to disability inclusion, more than any other in the country.
Wiener said their organization, the Disabil-ity Cultural Center, is the first of its kind, and its aim is to create an accepting environment rather than one where people with disabilities feel they need to be fixed.
“Disability is not something over which we
have to triumph,” Wiener said.This movement for greater acceptance and
awareness of cerebral palsy began a few decades ago in Australia, with a woman named Anne McDonald.
When McDonald was 3 and her parents became aware of her disability, they placed her in an Australian institution where she was neglected for 14 years.
It was through the help of a counselor, Rose-mary Crossley, that McDonald was finally able to escape in 1978. Even after she had left, she faced daily discrimination and had to stand trial to manage her own finances.
While McDonald’s cerebral palsy hadn’t affected her intellect, most people thought she was incompetent because of her difficulties communicating. This negative stigma from the public had been what put her in the institution when she was a child.
Christine Ashby, the director of the Institute on Communication and Inclusion and assistant professor in the Inclusive Elementary and Spe-cial Education Program, knew Crossley and McDonald from their occasional visits to the U.S. and said this was common in the past.
“Years ago, that was a huge battle that folks with cerebral palsy faced,” Ashby said. “Getting people to realize that ‘just because my body doesn’t move quite the way I want it to, I still
have lots of thoughts and ideas.’”This treatment is what spurred McDonald
to become a major advocate of changing this public perception of cerebral palsy and all dis-abilities. Her success led to her being invited to disability conferences worldwide, and she was awarded the personal achievement award in the 2008 National Disability Awards.
McDonald died in 2010 and a statue of her was built in her home of Victoria, Australia, in honor of how she had helped change the public view of mental disability.
While much progress has been made for those with cerebral palsy, there’s still a lot left to do. More awareness of the condition and all dis-abilities in the public eye are needed to create a truly accepting environment, even at SU.
“College campuses often focus on diversity in terms of race, class, gender or sexual ori-entation,” Ashby said. “And don’t account for disability.”
SU still leads the growing movement among universities in the U.S. and will continue to in the future. As Anne McDonald worked for more awareness in the whole world many years ago, SU is doing the same for the world of higher education.
Said Wiener: “We don’t just want to be good enough. We want to be better.”

When it comes to being a boyfriend, Connor Boyle hasn’t let down his girlfriend, Ashley Wisniewski. He has supported her continuously, even when it meant going through tedious exams with her until she felt com-fortable with the material. He’s been nothing but positive.
Boyle has never let the fact that he has cerebral palsy get in their way.
“We’ve literally gone through a Princeton Review practice test,” said Wisniewski, a senior psychology major. “And if I didn’t understand something, he’d explain it to me.”
Boyle is a State University of New York College of Environmental Sci-ence and Forestry chemistry major who graduated last year. He has a minor case of cerebral palsy that’s
limited to restricting control of movement in part of his legs.
That didn’t stop him from run-ning cross-country in high school or becoming involved with the Alpha Phi Omega community service fra-ternity at Syracuse University, and he’s now studying at the University of Massachusetts Amherst for a Ph.D. in chemistry.
Since entering college, Boyle has come to accept cerebral palsy as a part of his identity and doesn’t need any physical assistance in his daily life.
“I realized some time in high school that most nice people shouldn’t really care,” Boyle said. “And, that I should ignore what any-one with a negative attitude thought about it.”
Cerebral palsy is a disability refer-ring to brain damage that impairs
motor functions, communication and sometimes intelligence, which affects about one in every 400 people.
A few months ago at SU, a citizen in a wheelchair was paying a visit to the campus. But during her visit, she was immediately struck by a thought: The entrances to several of the buildings weren’t accessible to her. She was referring to Huntington
Hall and Hoople Hall, which were out of her reach.
Diane Wiener, director of the Dis-ability Cultural Center, heard her and immediately made several requests to the university. SU services wasted no time and quickly began to address their buildings’ accessibility, and even began looking into other build-ings that had similar issues.
“They’re creating a playing field in which everyone has equal access,” Wiener said.
This instance underscores how SU has helped lead a movement in making education more inclusive to those with disabilities, including cerebral palsy.
The groups that are currently at SU are the Lawrence B. Taishoff Cen-ter on Inclusive Higher Education,

T he annual American Idols: Live Tour, which makes its way around the country just
a few months after each season’s end, will be in Syracuse on Tuesday. The show will bring big crowds and big names, but for some students past and current with more personal ties to the show, it brings something deeper: a hint of nostalgia.
Janine McElhone and Bryce Gar-cia met their freshman year at an a cappella competition at Rutgers Uni-versity in New Jersey.
McElhone competed with her coed group, Groovestand, and Garcia, with the all-boys a cappella group, Orange Appeal.
When McElhone’s team won, and all were celebrating in the hotel, she made her way to her classmates’ room to congratulate them for trying their best.
The two met and have hit it off ever since.
Now juniors at Syracuse Univer-sity, the two have been dating for over a year, and their passion for music, performance and extremely obvious compatibility are just as strong. They emit ambition, confidence and deter-mination, demonstrated by their tendency to break into their own ren-dition of Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours.” They auditioned for “American Idol” within a year of one another.

T he Video Music Awards are quickly approaching, and are set to have a hilarious host in Kevin Hart and plenty
of great performances, from One Direction and Green Day to Rihanna and Frank Ocean. But the awards are the biggest part of the night. Here are a few predictions on which nominees will take home a Moonman.
Best Male VideoNominees: Chris Brown’s “Turn Up The Music,” Drake feat. Rihanna’s “Take Care,” Frank Ocean’s “Swim Good,” Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend,” Usher’s “Climax”
This year’s list features drunken nights in Tokyo from Breezy, random slow motion birds from Drake and even awkward car leaning from Bieber. However, Usher and Frank Ocean rose above the madness. Usher’s video for “Climax” showed off his theatrical side, spending most of the video sitting in his car outside of his old flame’s house, which isn’t creepy at all. Viewers see real inner turmoil as the singer decides if he should stay in the car and keep daydreaming about his lost love or bust into the house and shoot up his ex’s new man.
Ocean’s video for “Swim Good” takes the cinematic cake. The song is a dark but upbeat suicide note, matched by a video in which Ocean mysteriously drives around in a samurai suit. He finally emerges from the car wielding a samurai sword that somehow makes the car blow up. He walks away with blood on his sword, possibly from the girl he was imagining throughout the song.
Best Female VideoNominees: Beyonce’s “Love On Top,” Katy Per-ry’s “Part Of Me,” Nicki Minaj’s “Starships,” Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris’s “We Found Love,” Selena Gomez & The Scene’s “Love You Like A Love Song”
Queen B dropped it like it was hot even while pregnant, Gomez sang of love in a karaoke bar,
the moon and every place she could think of, and Minaj had so much fun dancing on the beach that she could barely contain her chest. Yet Perry and Rihanna stood out from the pack. In Perry’s video for “Part Of Me,” a broken heart leads to cutting her hair and binding her chest up “Mulan”-style as G.I. Perry joins the Marines.
In Rihanna’s video, she and her boyfriend have a tumultuous love story. Fighting, drugs and alcohol come into play, and their obses-sion with each other comes to blows. Darts are thrown, and Rihanna throws up cartoon ribbons. What’s more impressive, though, is the cinematography and editing of the video. Several scenes use time-lapse photography, special effects and green screen effects that go perfectly with the chaos of the song. Give those crazy kids a Moonman.
Video of the Year Nominees: Drake feat. Rihanna’s “Take Care,” Gotye feat. Kimbra’s “Somebody That I Used To Know,” Katy Perry’s “Wide Awake,” M.I.A.’s “Bad Girls,” Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris’s “We Found Love”
When it comes to the biggest video of the year, simple story lines and fancy pyro-technics won’t cut it. The most creative and artistic video has to be something so out of the box that it doesn’t even make much sense. That’s were Gotye comes in. The Australian singer’s first No. 1 hit has gotten plenty of air-play since its release. However, the eccentric video was spoofed by “Saturday Night Live” for its interesting concept. Gotye and Kimbra are seen throughout the video singing while their bodies and the walls behind them are gradually painted.
The singer pulled out old-school, stop-motion animation to create the effect, and the result features the two magically painted into the backdrop, which is actually based on a piece of artwork created by Gotye’s father. The quirky concept is possibly the most creative work we’ve seen all year and is definitely worth a VMA.

Provoked by a friend who told her, “This is your year. You’re going to college. This is the time to do it,” McElhone auditioned in MetLife Stadium, just 10 minutes from her house, the summer before her freshman year. Having been a fan since season one, her friends and peers alike always urged her to try out based on her singing in choir.
Her rendition of “I Can’t Make You Love Me” by Bonnie Raitt won her the golden ticket to Hol-lywood a few months later.
“In every round before Hollywood, you’re in
a huge crowd, where not everyone is necessarily good,” said McElhone, an information manage-ment and technology major. But, she explained, once there, she felt somewhat on the same level as other performers. “Hollywood, in general, was very intimidating.”
McElhone was cut after her first round in Hollywood.
Though McElhone missed all her finals in her first semester of college and had to arrange to take everything so early that she had not even learned some of the material, it was worth it. Little did she know her boyfriend would audi-tion just a year later.
Garcia was one of thousands to audition in Pittsburgh in July 2011. Having watched the show
for a long time with his dad, and being influenced throughout his life by singers and guitar players in his family, he finally went for it.
After he sang, “Bless The Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts, Randy Jackson asked him to perform another song on the spot. “Hey, Soul Sister” by Train pushed Garcia through to Hollywood.
Garcia made it one round further than McEl-hone, the group round.
“My group round was crazy,” said Garcia, a television, radio and film major. He and his group stayed up until 4 a.m. the day before their performance and woke up a few hours later, at about 6 a.m.
“Every year there’s sort of ‘that group,’ that drama-filled group. That was my group,” Garcia said.
Garcia’s group was OK until the day they had to audition. That day, a girl in his group was not feeling well and fainted a couple of times before the group was set to go on.
They planned to perform without her, switching vocal assignments and dance moves to make up for one fewer person.
However, right before the performance, she made a quick decision, saying that she was OK, and Garcia’s group went back to their original routine.
She fainted on stage. Garcia was so stressed and worried about the
group’s overall performance that he forgot the words when his opening solo began.
“I got on stage and the piano started playing, and I just blanked,” he said. “I told myself I wasn’t going to make an excuse. If I was going to go home, it was definitely going to be because of my own self,” he said.
McElhone and Garcia would like to audition again — “together this time.”
Though their experiences differed, the two learned similar lessons in and out of Hollywood.
“It taught me to work on understanding the importance of trusting yourself. They wont believe you’re good if you don’t believe you’re good,” said McElhone, who changed her song three times before her first audition.
Gary Butterworth, a 2004 alumnus, worked on the other side of “American Idol.”
After the summer he graduated, Butter-worth was looking to pick up any temp job he could. After some searching on Craigslist, he stumbled upon a production assistant job for the Washington, D.C., stop of the audition tour of “Idol.”
Butterworth worked for three days, usually from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Essentially, he “babysat” those auditioning, what he guessed to be around 20,000 people camped out overnight in tents in and around the Walter E. Washington Conven-tion Center.
He remembers it as if it was a big slumber party, mostly fun because of the fact that many auditioning were right around his age.
“It seemed like everyone there, deep down in their heart, thought they were going to win,” he said.
Butterworth was also amazed that his mark at SU was recognizable in a place as far away from the school as Washington, D.C.
For three of his four years at SU, Butter-worth worked in Kimmel Food Court, checking students’ IDs late at night. He was the self-proclaimed “Kimmel Bouncer.”
He saw it like a minor celebrity job, because people would know him solely for his job at Kimmel.
It followed him to D.C. He was recognized in the convention center
three times during his three days there as the Kimmel Bouncer.
“It was nuts for me,” he said.During the rest of that summer back in 2004,
Butterworth also had temporary jobs at Animal Planet and HGTV. Now, he works with Voice of America Television in D.C., where he produces a weekly French TV talk show shown in Africa.
To this day, he’s never seen an episode of “American Idol.”

Radio station tallies iconic hairdo at state fair
IDOLF R O M P A G E 1 1
By Cheryl SeligmanCOPY CHIEF
Uncle Jesse, portrayed by actor John Stamos in “Full House,” had one. So did Patrick Swayze, who was deemed the “Sexiest Man Alive” in a 1991 issue of People magazine.
Pictured on a sign at the Great New York State Fair in Syracuse, N.Y., these men flaunted mullets, and 248 fairgoers as of 2 p.m. Monday did, too.
A local rock music radio station, 95X, counts how many mullets are seen at the fair each year. The mullet count tradition began roughly five years ago, said a 95X on-air personality known as Joe D. He said it was something fun to do to pass time at the fair.
But for better or for worse, the 2012 count trailed far behind that of 2011’s fair.
“We’re not going to break 300,” said Joan
Kump, a promotions tech for Cumulus Media, which owns and operates 95X, on Friday. “We’re going to get, like, half of last year.”
The radio station would have needed to see about 350 more mullets in the fair’s final eve-ning in order to come close to last year’s total, which amounted to more than 600.
A mullet, which is a certain style of haircut, is known to be “short on top, long in the back,” Kump said. “Or, business in the front, party in the back.”
The 95X mullet count is more than just a tally; it’s also a contest that any fairgoer can enter. The person who most closely guesses the total number of mullets that will be seen at the fair will win free haircuts for a year.
Kump said that since Syracuse is a city, peo-ple don’t associate it with mullets. But there’s a great deal of farmland in the area, she added,
which means a lot of mullets, too.As of noon on Friday, the daily count was
four — three women and a child with “really unfortunate layering jobs,” Kump said. The overall count was 191. Inevitably, some mullets might have been counted twice, but then again, some could have been overlooked.
A few of the fair’s mullets were nearly impos-sible to miss.
“There’s one that we counted, it’s a little iffy on the short in front, it’s more that he’s balding,” Kump said. “It’s kind of horrendous.”
Amanda Siracusa, a West Genesee High School student, also saw an unforgettable mul-let at the fair on Thursday. She worked at Louie’s Lemonade, which was located next to the 95X platform.
“He was short and skinny, very punk, kind of, and his mullet was amazing,” she said.
“Purple on top and green on bottom.”Many passers-by stopped to admire the
board displaying the 2012 mullet count. Some took photos and most laughed, uttering state-ments like, “sweet” and “that’s awesome.”
“It’s kind of a joke,” said Barb Parker, a fair-goer from Elmira, N.Y. She also said there are many alternative names for a mullet.
Sam Russell of Trumansburg, N.Y., said his favorite nickname for the hairdo is “Kentucky Waterfall.”
Kump saw a lot of long hair at the fair this year, but as the count reflects, not as many mul-let haircuts as in previous years.
“I have this slightly joking hypothesis,” Kump said. “With this economy, people don’t get their hair cut.”

University Soccer Stadium. Asante and Jordan Vale ignited an offensive onslaught to break the game open before Syracuse notched a sixth goal late in the game to finish the thrashing of the Raiders. The Orange matched its win total from a season ago when the Orange went 3-12-1.
“It was great when we scored those four goals,” Cribley said. “It was just pandemonium. It was fantastic. The reaction of the crowd shows it all.”
After a strong first half in which SU built a 1-0 lead, the Orange needed a spark to bust the game open.
In its previous match against Niagara, SU surrendered an early second-half goal that proved to be the difference. On Monday, Syra-cuse made sure it didn’t repeat the same mis-take and exploded out of the break.
SU head coach Ian McIntyre said he was pleased with his team’s first-half performance and was confident the constant pressure and aggressive play would translate to goals in the second half.
Syracuse embarked on a torrid run after scoring its first second-half goal quickly.
“I think we dominated in every aspect of the game in the first half,” Cribley said. “We didn’t think one goal was enough for the effort that we’d made. The second half was the perfor-mance of a lifetime.”
After Cribley’s first career goal, Vale pushed the lead to 3-0 off a rebound from a Stefanos Stamoulacatos free kick. Jordan Murrell faked the kick and Stamoulacatos’ shot ricocheted off the post. Vale was there for the put-back.
Less than two minutes later, Asante had just the goalie to beat. He delivered a lob that found its way past Reed’s outstretched arm and into the net.
In the first half, Asante had a similar oppor-
tunity, but the ball hit the crossbar.This time, he didn’t miss his chance.Vale converted on his second goal a mere
34 seconds after Asante’s strike, unleashing a cannon from over 30 yards that increased Syracuse’s advantage to five.
Before Vale had the chance for a hat trick, McIntyre took him out of the game to let him rest while he gave role players some time on the field.
“(Jordan) was aggravated with the coach because I brought him off,” McIntyre said. “He was going for three.”
While he considers Vale’s second goal a thing of beauty, McIntyre was also impressed with the freshman’s first goal, a scrappy play where he followed up a miss.
The goals were Vale’s second and third of the season, and sent Syracuse to the easy victory.
“The first one was a bit greedy I guess,” Vale said. “I think Louis Clark could have scored, but I wanted to score, so I came in running and
had a go. For my second goal, I thought, ‘why not have a shot?’ I hit it sweetly and scored.”
Syracuse scored in the 18th minute when Cribley drew two defenders and played a through ball to Lars Muller. Muller was wide open and beat the keeper with a scorching shot toward the left side of the net.
Freshman Ben Ramin notched SU’s sixth and final goal when he fired a shot from way outside the box that made its way past Colgate’s third-string goalie to cap a dominant night.
Syracuse has appeared to turn the page after a tumultuous 2011 campaign. But Cribley and his teammates aren’t satisfied yet.
“We’ve got really good team chemistry,” Cribley said. “I think we’ve just gelled together. The first two wins really helped because now people come into the game confident.
“We don’t want to just match three wins. We want to go to tournaments.”

“I’ve always made the joke that in college foot-ball, nobody covers running backs and tight ends, so it’s nice to have a guy like Beckett there that can fill in that role like (Provo), and it’s going to be exciting to see what he can do.”
That started immediately Saturday. On Syracuse’s first offensive play of the
2012 season, Nassib lined up in the shotgun with Wales on the left side of the line. The quarterback took the snap and faked a hand-off to running back Jerome Smith. Wales blew past Northwestern linebacker Chi Chi Ariguzo, who immediately turned as he real-ized what just happened.
Wales ran out over the middle, and Nassib found him wide open for a 17-yard pass and a first down. Perhaps it was a sign of things to come for Wales and the SU offense.
Right from the start, Hackett’s play-calling showed Wales will be a major contributor to this offense.
If Nassib had any concerns at all about losing Provo, Wales dispelled them right away. In the days leading up to the game, Wales said he and Nassib already built a game-ready chemistry early in training camp.
“The chemistry with me and Ryan, I think, is great,” Wales said. “When I run a route, I pretty much know when I’m going to get the ball. And that’s a great thing to know, because when I turn around to expect the ball, and it’s there, it’s a great feeling.”
Three plays after his first catch of the 2012 season, Wales put his blocking skills on display on third-and-4 when he drove Ariguzo off the line of scrimmage so Nassib could rush up the middle for about two yards, setting up an Orange field goal.
Throughout training camp, Wales started off each practice working with head coach Doug
Marrone and fellow tight ends Max Beaulieu and Ron Thompson. Marrone, who took over the responsibilities of coaching tight ends after last season, emphasized exploding off the line and driving the defender back.
Running at the defender, rather than staying stationary at the line and blocking from that position, was a constant focus. Day by day, Wales worked on it and improved.
In SU’s first drive of the season, Wales revealed his all-around abilities.
The lone hiccup came in the second quar-ter when Wales fumbled, and Northwestern’s Davion Fleming recovered the ball.
During training camp, Nassib said he expected to have the same type of connection with Wales that he had with Provo. Saturday’s game is a small sample size for sure, but it was enough to offer a glimpse at what Wales can do.
“Beckett is definitely somebody that has filled the role for the position Provo had,” Nas-sib said. “Beckett learned underneath Provo, so
it doesn’t surprise me that their games are kind of similar, that we have a similar connection.”
Wales said he and Provo spent a lot of time together over the past few years. While Provo taught him plenty, Wales learned just as much from how Provo carried himself on the field.
With his emotions always in check, Provo was a steady force in SU’s offense.
Hackett said both Wales and Provo play with “ferociousness.” Provo tempered his aggres-sion, something Wales is looking to do him-self. Wales saw Provo play the way he did. He watched him rack up consistent yardage.
Now, it’s his turn. “It’s great to play behind somebody like
that, or come up and learn from somebody like that,” Wales said. “And how he set goals for me to accomplish.
“It’s just things like that just make me want to play harder.”

Ian McIntyre started the remodeling project in 2010. He wanted to morph Syracuse into an up-tempo and exciting team that the home fans “could cheer for.”
Two years later, the head coach finally fol-lowed through on that promise as his team earned a lopsided 6-0 win against Colgate (1-2-1) Monday night. The Orange (3-1) scored its great-est number of goals in a single game since Oct. 26, 1994, in an electric atmosphere at Syracuse University Soccer Stadium created by each big play and highlight-reel goal.
“That’s the type of game we’re capable of playing” McIntyre said. “And that’s the type of game our fans deserve.”
The SU fans likely couldn’t look away. If they did, they would miss a perfectly placed through ball or cross into the box. So with each ensu-ing SU possession, they rose to their feet and watched the team run circles around Colgate — an NCAA tournament team last season.
Each attacker moved into space without pos-session, and more often than not, each was hit with a pass that placed him in a position to score.
On Monday, Tony Asante drove the ball down the right sideline and hit Ted Crib-ley with an accurate cross for one goal. For
another goal, Cribley put a ball in space for Asante, who ran underneath it, trapped it and chipped it over Colgate goalkeeper Grant Reed for the score.
Those big plays weren’t as common before McIntyre took over. In 2010, he inherited a slug-gish roster that attacked defenses by playing balls to their forwards and waiting. They’d resume their attack when trailing players made runs.
Senior forward Lars Muller, who once played under the former system that stressed that “wait-and-run” scheme, appreciated it just the same.
“It’s nice to not have to wait around as a forward,” said Muller, who scored in the first half when Cribley led him into the box with a precise pass. “We got to know each other in the preseason and we learned what type of runs we want and where we want the ball. We got technically better, especially in the passing game.”
There was no wait in Syracuse against Colgate.
The offense pushed the ball up field. And in this system, players have the freedom to beat defenders with speed or to find their teammates who separate from defenders in space.
Cribley compared this team’s run-first style
to a fast-break offense.“It feels great to enjoy playing again,” Crib-
ley said. “It’s definitely pleasing, especially from the coaching staff, that they’re able to get the best out of us.”
It showed on Monday night. Fans were thrilled by the goals, but they
also cheered loudly for the near-misses, like a cross from Vale in the 29th minute that found Muller’s head but skipped over the cross bar.
The home crowd bemoaned another near-miss by Asante at the end of the first half that
landed on top of the goal. But either way, they appreciated the execu-
tion. Syracuse was a three-win team last sea-son, but with an offense capable of scoring in bulk, McIntrye knows this team is easy to cheer for.
“The home crowd was excellent tonight,” he said. “I think we’re finally playing the brand of soccer that gets fans on their feet, and that’s exciting for everyone involved.”

Leonid Yelin has already seen his team’s resil-ience once.
The Syracuse head coach saw his team drop the first set in last Saturday’s opening match against Bryant University at the Colgate Clas-
sic. In a 25-24 hole in the second set, SU responded. Outside hitter Samantha Clarey finished with a
kill and an ace to put the set away.During a three-win weekend, it was an
additional positive that Yelin took away from the tournament. And, it’s an element the Orange will need to count on in the coming weeks.
“Until they’re losing, everything is OK,” Yelin said. “After losses, they have to work that much harder. They need to see what the other teams were doing that made them better.”
After Syracuse’s success at the Colgate Clas-sic, a winless weekend leaves the team at 3-3 heading into its game against Nebraska-Omaha at 7 p.m Tuesday. Yelin is trying to build a winning program out of Syracuse, one that com-petes nationally every year. And, the first-year head coach said he hopes to see his team put its resilience to the test and respond to adversity moving forward.
The Orange failed to win a set in all three of the matches at the Bluejay Invitational last weekend against tougher competition than it faced at Colgate.
“It’s definitely a lot tougher,” said defensive specialist Melina Violas. “They’re bigger girls, they can hit a lot harder.”
And tougher competition brings higher expectations for Yelin. He believes his team can work harder and play better every time it practices or competes. Coming from a pro-gram in Louisville that made 14 NCAA tour-naments in his 15-year tenure, Yelin holds remarkably high standards for his players.
As Yelin attempts to change the culture of a program that has yet to reach an NCAA tournament, he looks for players to learn
from losses and push themselves even more. “It takes a lot of time to build a new cul-
ture,” Yelin said. “And it’s everything – how you dress, how you work, how you represent yourself. Every little thing matters.”
Yelin will get a good read on his team’s character and resilience in the next few matches.
No matter how the players respond, Yelin will be looking for more improvement. It takes something spectacular for his play-ers to impress him. Yelin said nothing impressed him about the three wins in the opening weekend.
As one of Yelin’s former players at Lou-isville, Syracuse assistant coach Stephanie Cantway saw how difficult it was for Yelin to be completely satisfied with his team.
Wins alone simply won’t do it. “It takes a lot to impress him,” Cantway
said. Yelin said the process to improve and
change the culture at Syracuse will be long and tedious. It requires a full commitment from each player. He said improvements in attitude and work ethic are necessary, and they should change even more with every roadblock in the season.
This 0-3 weekend at the Bluejay Invitational is one of those roadblocks the Orange will have to overcome.
Yelin said he knows that Syracuse may not become a top-notch program in the immediate future. But, he’s determined that each player fully commits to the learning process and won’t accept anything less than a winning program.
Right now, SU is a .500 team. To Yelin, that’s far from good enough. The
Orange needs to rebound from a disappointing weekend. It’s all a part of Yelin’s process to build a consistent winner.
“It’s a lot of learning. It’s going to be an up-and-down season, but as long as they continue to work and improve themselves, I think we are on the right track,” Yelin said. “Every day, the expectation has to be higher because we will not accept not to be good.”

Syracuse ready to put resiliency to test after 3-game losing streak

Iona Holloway has played every minute of Syra-cuse’s three games this season.
Throughout SU’s season so far, Holloway’s focus has been constant. She often pushes the ball away from the attacking circle and then advances it downfield.
For 76 minutes against North Carolina, Holloway was relentless as the Orange held the No. 2 Tar Heels scoreless for one of the program’s biggest wins under SU head coach Ange Bradley.
“She was just awesome — I can’t even tell you how hard this kid has trained,” Bradley said after the game.
In a game that ended regulation with no score, the Orange’s defense was tested again and again. But Holloway and the Syracuse (3-0) defense shut down the UNC forwards long enough for freshman Emma Russell to find the back of the net in overtime for a 1-0 victory on Saturday.
Holloway was awarded Big East defensive player of the week honors for her performance. The Glasgow, Scotland native also appeared on that list her sophomore year for efforts against Northwestern and Northeastern, and her junior year after wins against Louisville and Boston University.
Throughout Holloway’s career, the Orange defense has anchored Bradley’s successful pro-gram. And now, the senior is the unquestioned leader of the unit.
“It’s my fourth year, and as I’ve been here longer and longer, you just love the sport even more, you love the school even more,” Holloway said.
Clinching the victory on Saturday continued a 30-game home winning streak at J. Stanley Coyne Stadium. During that span, the team has dominated its opponents, outscoring them 59-7 in 11 games at home in 2011.
The last time SU lost at home came against Princeton on Sept. 6, 2009, when Holloway was a freshman.
Atop the Big East standings, Syracuse and Connecticut boast 3-0 records, both with players receiving individual accolades in the first two weeks of the season.
Holloway and four other seniors have con-tributed to SU’s strong start.
“They’ve been working so hard, this group of seniors,” Bradley said. “This is the first time in their tenure that they’ve been able to come and do something that they weren’t supposed to: beat a No. 2 in the country on our home turf.”
Holloway has displayed determination and dedication on and off the field, helping keep SU among the Big East’s elite and now pushing the program into the national spotlight with the signature victory.
From her Syracuse debut against New Hampshire three years ago to her contributions against UNC, Holloway has been a key cog in the SU defense.
And in her final season, she’s excited to help the Orange reach new heights while enjoying the team camaraderie.
“When I came here, I didn’t even know what a national championship was,” said Holloway. “I’ve just enjoyed my degree and I’m enjoying playing hockey with this team. It’s just one of those things, you come to America and you don’t really want to leave.”
f i e l d h o c k e y
Holloway sets tone for stingy SU defense with tireless play
Then, on the very next snap, he caught a play-action pass from Nassib and cut to the outside with a move that caused linebacker Chi Chi Ariguzo’s knee to buckle, forcing him to walk gingerly off the field.
“Marcus looked like he had been here before, he wasn’t nervous,” Syracuse defensive end Brandon Sharpe said. “He was ready for the game and came out fired up.”
It took until his junior year for Sales to truly burst onto the scene the way SU fans and coaches expected he would after a stand-out career at Christian Brothers Academy. And, even then, it was only in the final game of the season in which Sales 2.0 was born.
Running back Delone Carter took home Pinstripe Bowl Most Valuable Player honors, but it could certainly be argued that Sales stole the show. He caught five passes for 172 yards and three touchdowns in Syracuse’s 36-34 win over Kansas State after hauling
in only four touchdowns in the previous two years combined.
Nathaniel Hackett, who was the quarter-backs coach at the time and is currently SU’s offensive coordinator, said Sales had finally bought into the system in the month leading up to the Pinstripe Bowl. His practice habits improved, he was putting in the effort and everyone saw the results.
So when Sales posted another impressive performance on Saturday — he’s caught 16 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns over his last two games — it confirmed his new identity and erased the memories of the player whose first catch of the 2010 season didn’t come until week five.
Shockingly, both Hackett and Marrone said their budding star is capable of even more production.
“I think that Marcus can do a better job. I really do,” Marrone said. “He’s come back; I think he got himself off to a good start. But, each week, we have to get better each day and raise our level.”
It’s a fantastic sign considering Syracuse
played on Saturday without its most consis-tent wide receiver in senior Alec Lemon. That means Sales was still able to haul in 10-plus passes, despite the fact that he was the focal point of the Northwestern secondary.
Sales said himself that he can’t be satisfied with 11 catches — four more than his previous career high — since Syracuse still wound up on the wrong end of the scoreboard.
“Maybe I need to get 13 next time to get the victory,” he quipped.
And it certainly seems possible with his recommitment to the game and the suddenly pass-happy SU offense.
That he could miss a year but not miss a beat is a testament to his talent, a reflection of the above-average work ethic that once eluded him.
It only took one game to show that Sales 2.0 is here to stay, and Syracuse is much better off for it.

In the first game of his collegiate career, State University of New York Maritime’s Stephen Roman played Massachusetts Maritime in a game billed as the Chowder Bowl.
Though it was the first meeting between the schools, it has since taken on greater historical importance.
“It felt like it became an instant rivalry,”
Roman said.The intensity of the matchup between
the Massachusetts Maritime Buccaneers and SUNY Maritime Privateers is primar-ily fueled by the players’ career choices. Both colleges prepare their students for careers in the nautical industry. The players know they open the season each year against peers they will compete against for employment, as well as on-field supremacy. Alumni from both schools trade barbs on the game throughout
the year. That banter has been one-sided, though.
SUNY Maritime owns a 4-0 record in the series. Last season was the first since the series began that the two schools did not face off. The cruise schedule of Massachusetts Maritime’s training ship led to the game’s cancellation.
On Friday at 7 p.m., the rivalry resumes as SUNY’s cadets and a few thousand local fans will give Massachusetts Maritime a hostile welcome in Throgg’s Neck, N.Y.
“I think it’s kind of a respect thing when you’re out actually in the industry after you’re through college and you look back … and know that you were the best football team,” former SUNY Maritime defensive end Thomas Boney said. “It’s kind of just being respected, being able to give them crap.”
Massachusetts head coach Jeremy Cameron and SUNY head coach Clayton Kendrick-Holmes call their respective schools the destination for in-state recruits pursuing maritime careers.
Yet in coastal states like New Jersey and Florida, Cameron and Kendrick-Holmes often
find themselves trying to lure the same play-ers to their academies. Inevitably, one coach misses out on a prospect. Those players take the field against the once-potential teammates they spurned.
The recruiting crossfire only intensifies the rivalry.
“I actually enjoyed playing at Massachusetts Maritime because I got recruited by them and actually wanted to beat them more,” Boney said.
A.J. Gillan played linebacker and captained SUNY Maritime his junior year. But in high school, Massachusetts Maritime heavily recruited him, too. Then, the Privateers forgot him, Roman said.
Beating his Chowder Bowl rivals became an obsession.
Though only the 2009 Chowder Bowl was decided by more than 10 points, Massachu-setts Maritime failed to stop New York in the three closer contests. While that dominance is a point of pride for the Privateers, it haunts the Buccaneers.
Since spring practice, Massachusetts harped on its 0-4 record against its rival,
defensive captain Nick Mazurkiewicz said. He also predicted an end to SUNY’s rushing dominance, a historic advantage.
“We have a bunch of returning starters. My buddies on the line are doing excellent at prac-tice, the linebackers are doing awesome, the D-backs are unbelievable so we have a bunch of experience coming back on D,” he said. “I think we can shut them down.”
Regardless of the result, the game will ripple into the maritime workplace. Players from both sides of the rivalry said they are constantly reminded of the game’s impor-tance by alumni.
“My cousin graduated when I was a fresh-man and he was a senior captain, and I think he would be thrilled,” Mazurkiewicz said. “He’s always following me around, and I talked to a bunch of the guys from last season and the year before that, and they’re always pushing us to win because we’re a big family out there, you know, even when we’re not with each other.”
On the field, some mild trash talk is exchanged.
Some players consider Massachusetts a better educational institution with New York wearing the label of a less serious school, senior captain Eric Heedles said.
Ultimately, SUNY prefers to point to its 4-0 record.
Yet an underlying respect for each other’s career choices prevents any deep-seeded animosity.
“We have the utmost respect for New York Maritime and in particular coach Holmes, obvi-ously, with his service in the military,” Cam-eron said. “He’s a total class guy and he’s a great guy. So, you know we have a lot of respect for him and his program.”
Holmes is a 1992 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy who performed active duty as recently as 2011 in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The respectfully intense Chowder Bowl is like a small-scale version of the Army-Navy game, he said.
“I think our industry, the fact that it’s a smaller community that you actually work together from day one, I think it kind of height-ens the — it’s an intense rivalry,” Cameron said. “I wouldn’t call it friendly at all.”

Syracuse revealed a new up-tempo offensive system Saturday.
Quarterback Ryan Nassib thrived in it. Nassib completed 45 of 66 passes for 470 yards against Northwestern, setting single-game program records in all three categories and earning Big East offensive player of the week honors.
“I felt comfortable with the system. I really did,” Nassib said after SU’s 42-41 loss to the Wildcats. “I felt like we put up a lot of points. We’ve had success in practice. We were translat-ing into the game but it wasn’t quite enough.”
SU head coach Doug Marrone said the plays were all in the playbook last season, only the pace changed. The Orange also went no-huddle throughout the game.
It worked as well as Nassib and the SU coaches could’ve hoped. He leads the nation in passing yards after the prolific performance.
In addition to the SU records, he tied the single-game, Big East completions record, and broke the conference single-game pass attempts record.
Nassib also showed an ability to make plays with his legs, running a variety of quarterback keepers to finish with 30 yards rushing.
“Ryan can handle a lot. I don’t worry about Ryan Nassib being able to handle anything,”
Marrone said after the game. “He ran the ball. They did a nice job of changing up their scheme and he ran the ball.
“Ball security out of the pocket was better and his footwork was better. He threw the ball really well. I don’t have a lot of issues with Ryan.”
SU focused on improving special teamsMental lapses and broken plays on special teams overshadowed an otherwise impressive performance by Syracuse in the season opener against Northwestern.
Despite a record day by Nassib, a combined 84 yards rushing by running backs Jerome Smith and Prince-Tyson Gulley, and 117 yards receiving by Marcus Sales, the Orange fell 42-41 to the Wildcats.
“I feel like we are heading in the right direction and we have a lot of hard work ahead of us,” Marrone said during the Big East coaches’ teleconference Monday. “But we probably have more things to build on now than we’ve had in the past.”
Marrone said going into week two after a 37-34 victory over Wake Forest last season, Syracuse had a long way to go. This season, the head coach said it’s time to build on the positives and move forward from the Orange’s disappointing loss.
SU faces a daunting task this Saturday when it faces No. 1 Southern California at MetLife Stadium. An improved performance on special teams will be crucial against the Trojans.
Wildcats’ running back Venric Mark returned two punts for 134 yards, including an 82-yard touchdown return. The kicks were good, Marrone said. The coverage was another story.
“Obviously, we had two very good kicks,” Marrone said. “We had good hang, we kicked
it very, very deep. What happened was we lost our contain.”
Marrone said the Orange walked through the coverage to make sure the players knew their spots, which is critical for Saturday’s game against USC. The Trojans have a num-ber of good kickoff returners, including Rob-ert Woods and Marqise Lee.
Lee took a kick return 100 yards for a touchdown in USC’s 49-10 victory over Hawaii, and Marrone said USC punt returner Nickell Robey is as “dynamic” as Mark.
“We’re working on building on the positive,” Marrone said. “And getting ready for an opponent now that is the top-ranked team in the country.”
Stevens in, Lemon questionable for USCSyracuse wide receiver Alec Lemon is day-to-day as he recovers from a lower body injury. Marrone said how he performs this week in workouts will determine if he can play against USC.
“Alec Lemon, I really don’t know,” Mar-rone said. “Last week, when we worked him out before the game, we really didn’t feel very
comfortable putting him back in that situation.”Wide receiver Adrian Flemming will return
to practice and will “work himself in,” but likely won’t play against the Trojans.
Marrone said tight end David Stevens, who has been working back from a lower-body injury, should be available to play Saturday. Stevens was in uniform against Northwestern and could’ve played if the team needed him. But Marrone said it was beneficial that he did not have to play since it gave him more rest.

“We’ve had success in practice. We were translating into the game but it wasn’t quite enough.”

W hen Beckett Wales steps onto a football field, the transfor-
mation starts to take place. Increased intensity morphs his
personality. He becomes a football player.
For the past two seasons, Wales did so at the expense of his emotions. But the Syracuse tight end also watched and noted how the player ahead of him on the depth chart maintained a level head on the field.
With the graduation of Nick Provo, Wales is stepping into a start-ing role and replacing one of the Orange’s most consistent producers. In an offensive system where tight
ends are used heavily, Wales will need to apply that lesson to the field to have success this season.
“Character. How to hold your character on the field,” Wales said. “Not getting too emotional, not get-ting too under-emotional. Just keep-ing a level head the whole time is one of the things I learned.”
Wales is still searching for his first touchdown in a Syracuse uni-form. But in Saturday’s 42-41 loss against Northwestern, he caught six passes for 49 yards — more yardage than he posted in both 2010 and 2011.
If Provo’s production in his four seasons with the Orange is any indi-cation, Saturday’s game was only the start of Wales’ status as a go-to receiv-er for quarterback Ryan Nassib. In
2011, Provo caught 51 passes for 537 yards and scored seven touchdowns. He only had two touchdowns in his previous three seasons combined.
The 6-foot-3-inch, 235-pound Wales will be counted on to help an offense looking to improve after a down season. Wales said he doesn’t feel pressure to repeat Provo’s per-formances, but instead is motivated to provide similar production. If there’s pressure at all, he said it’s a “great form of pressure.”
Wales is going to have his oppor-tunities to translate that motivation into big plays for Syracuse.
“Especially at that position, what we do at that position,” offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett said.

Tony Asante weaved through Colgate defenders on the endline and deliv-ered a perfectly placed pass directly toward the head of Ted Cribley.
Cribley headed the ball past goalie Grant Reed, giv-ing Syracuse a two-goal lead less than two
minutes into the second half. Players and fans celebrated the
Orange’s goal. Little did they know, the barrage was just beginning.
Four minutes later, the two-goal lead had ballooned to five, and Syra-cuse (3-1) cruised to a 6-0 win over Col-gate (1-2-1) in front of 826 at Syracuse

Smooth transition Wales ready to fill void left by Provo at tight end
T here was a sort of mysticism swirling around Marcus Sales, the player whose foot-
ball career seemed more mythical than anything else.
He was the local boy, the former high school All-American and four-star recruit who stayed at home to play for Syracuse, and whose com-mitment was the crowning jewel for a struggling program.
It meant his story was written early, his tale of triumph penned before the ink used to sign his schol-arship even dried.
But no one foresees the bumps in the road that cause the fairytale to veer off into uncertainty, disaster even. In Sales’ case, those bumps were work ethic problems, poor on-field performances and an arrest and subsequent suspension that took away his 2011 season.
Saturday against Northwestern was Sales’ shot at redemption, and he seized it. The storm was weathered, the suspension served and Sales turned in an outstanding 11-catch, 117-yard, one-touchdown performance in his first football game in more than a year.
He cast aside doubts on whether his legendary Pinstripe Bowl performance was a fluke and firmly cemented himself as one of Syra-cuse’s most dangerous weapons for the 2012 season, even though
the Orange eventually fell to the Wildcats 42-41.
“I have trusted Marcus since we came here together,” quarterback Ryan Nassib said. “He made my job a lot easier. … I was really happy with how we connected today.”
On what was a record-setting day for Nassib, who threw for 470 yards and four touchdowns, Sales was undoubtedly his favorite target. Twenty-five percent of his completions were hauled in by Sales, including the seven-yard touchdown late in the third quarter that ignited the Syracuse comeback.
Most impressive, though, was how sharp Sales looked in other aspects of the game beyond simply catching the football, in which his natural abilities could often over-shadow rust following his year off.
His beautiful block on North-western cornerback Nick VanHoose in the second quarter sealed the edge for Jerome Smith on a toss play to the outside that gained six yards.
In return to field, Sales proves he’s ready to be go-to threat
