The Student Association is taking steps to make syllabi available to stu-dents prior to class registration.
The organization posted a survey to its Facebook page requesting student feedback on the initiative, and SA’s Academic Affairs Chair Sonia Suchak will be meeting with Syracuse Univer-sity administrators Monday to discuss the possibility of students seeing sylla-bi before class registration.
So far, students of varying majors and class years have filled out the survey, Suchak said. Suchak and SA President Aysha Seedat said the purpose of the survey is to garner that kind of student support, so they could use it in pushing the initiative.
“When we talk to administrators, we need to show them ample evi-dence,” Seedat said.
Suchak will meet Monday morn-ing with Associate Dean of Advising Kandice Salomone, Associate Pro-vost of Academic Programs Andria Costello Staniec and College of Arts and Sciences Dean Karin Ruhlandt.
Suchak’s primary concern is ensuring that students can be aware of textbook costs before deciding to take a course. She called the current system unfair to students.
“You take a class and you pay $130 for a textbook, but you didn’t know you had to pay it (before register-ing),” she said.
Suchak said she also wants to give students a chance to evaluate the time commitment a class will require before registering for it, since some students might want to scale back their workload in a given semester.
Seedat said if students had this information readily available to them when they register, it would reduce the number of courses that

T he number of disciplinary referrals for liquor law vio-lations at Syracuse Univer-
sity went down about 30 percent from 2013 to 2014, according to the university’s recently released annu-al security report.
The decrease comes after there was a 25 percent increase in referrals in 2013. There were 1,303 liquor law violation referrals in 2013, but in the 2014 calendar year, there were 918. The number of disciplinary referrals for drug law violations is also down from last year — 87 compared to 273, or 68 percent. Nationally, the amount
of drinking in the college demo-graphic is down, but intensity is up. On campus, SU administrators say university-sponsored programs are helping combat alcohol abuse.
The annual report, released Wednesday, is mandated by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure Act, which requires U.S. colleges and univer-sities that receive federal money to publish a security report by Oct. 1 every year. The act requires three years of statistics and other securi-ty information.
The report, most of which is text that describes security policies, includes data on the number of crimes committed on campus and proper-ties owned by the university. It also includes numbers on crimes that
occur on nearby streets and sidewalks. Pam Peter, the director of the
Office for Student Rights and Responsibilities at SU, said Thurs-day she had “not had time to read the report or compare the numbers from this report to last year’s report in order to answer any questions about the numbers.”
George Koob, the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, said percentage-wise, young people are using less alcohol.
“It’s a small drop but still down,” Koob said. “Bad news is, there’s an increase in the intensity of those who do choose to binge drink.”
Koob added that students want to “get as (drunk) possible, as fast as possible” and don’t entirely under-
stand the effects of alcohol. That line of thinking is reflected
at SU. “We unfortunately continue to
see a lot of students drink to the point of alcohol poisoning and/or have other alcohol related prob-lems,” said Cory Wallack, director of the Counseling Center, in an email.
He added that programs like BeWise and Orange After Dark have helped the university combat alcohol abuse. BeWise, he said, has helped students get a better under-standing of the warning signs of alcohol poisoning and how to be safer about drinking in general.
Wallack added that the Counsel-ing Center’s available data shows

On a trip to A.C. Moore, junior Jackie Simpson spotted canvas shoes for sale and had an idea.
Now, Simpson is actively bringing plain shoes to life while using her passion for art in her shoe decorating business, Custom Canvas.
“I’ve decorated Converse before, but they’re so expensive that it wasn’t really something I could keep up,” Simpson said. “I ended up find-ing a wholesale place where I could buy the shoes in bulk.”
Simpson said she began deco-rating shoes this past July and has been trying to get her name out ever since.
“Basically, anyone that’s interest-ed will reach out to me, tell me their shoe size, and give me a theme. I’ve gotten Bohemian or Zentangles or Mandalas,” Simpson said. “So I just take what they give me and I ask them for a color scheme … and I take those basic things and interpret them in my own way and see what happens.”
Simpson also made up a few designs on her own. She said one pair of shoes takes her 20 hours to make. She said that creating art is “very therapeutic.”
As Simpson continues to pursue her artistic passion she said she is skeptical of her current psychology major.
“I had an epiphany that that’s not really what I should be doing, so I looked into Newhouse graphic design. I’m applying for the spring,” Simpson said.
“I don’t want to be a therapist anymore. I do want to incorporate art into my future.”
She said her dream job would be to design for Lilly Pulitzer.
As of right now, Simpson works on her business just to make some money. However, she said she hopes to watch it grow in the future.
“I’ve seen how girls can trans-form small ideas into big things just like Melissa [from Baked by Melissa cupcakes], who went to Syracuse,” Simpson said. “You never know what could take off.”

The launch of a student-run business venture will allow students to get experience in their career fields by working in the firm for credit.
About 80 members of the SU com-munity, including faculty, staff and students of the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, gathered Thursday for the opening of the new firm, Consurtio, which is designed to “transform business education, as well as support local companies and economic development,” according to a Whitman release.
“Today is a historic and exciting day for the Whitman community,” said Whitman Dean Kenneth Kavajecz, who is also the board chair of Consurtio.

crime briefsSU hosts summit for inclusion, diversity
Forum at SU to feature mothers of Brown, Martin
By Zeena Saifistaff writer
When Angelica Rodriguez came to Syracuse University from Colom-bia, she thought her English profi-ciency would be enough to pursue her degree in broadcast and digi-tal journalism.
She said she was mistaken.But when Rodriguez, a junior
broadcast and digital journalism and international relations dual major, heard about Alliance For Change President Kathy Obear’s lecture on diversity on college campuses, she was excited because, she said, there is a need for more resources that will make international students feel more comfortable.
Obear, who is an organizational development consultant, addressed SU students and faculty about cam-pus inclusion at her keynote lecture Friday and the Division of Student Affair’s Student Diversity Summit
on Saturday. Obear led a retreat in August for SU administrators that led to the creation of Chancel-lor Kent Syverud’s work group on diversity and inclusion.
“When I heard about this lecture, I was so excited,” Rodriguez said with a laugh. “More than excited, I was just relieved to know that finally, someone is looking for better resources that will help students like me.”
During her 30-minute lecture, Obear focused on using what she calls an “inclusion lens,” which makes people think about the deci-sions, policies and practices they make in a different way. It makes you think about how they can van-tage some and disadvantage others, or even unintentionally put blocks or barriers in front of people in marginalized groups, she said. Obear also stressed the importance of making the effort to contribute individually to diversity.

Mothers of Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown to speak at SU
The mothers of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown are scheduled to appear in a panel discussion at Syracuse University on Oct. 28 from 7-9 p.m.
Lesley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, and Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin, will participate in a discussion called “(In)Justice For All” in Goldstein Auditori-um inside the Schine Student Center. This is the first time the two mothers will do an event of this kind, according to an SU News release.
Tickets for the event are free, and will be available for SU and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forest-ry students, faculty and staff with a valid ID starting Oct. 14 at 9 a.m. in
Schine. Tickets will be limited to two per person. On Oct. 22, the remain-ing tickets will be made available to members of the community.
Martin, 17, was fatally shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman on Feb. 26, 2012. In July 2013, a Florida jury found Zimmerman not guilty in the Martin’s death. Zimmerman argued the shooting was in self-defense.
Brown, 18, was shot and killed by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wil-son on Aug. 9, 2014. In November 2014, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attor-ney Robert McCulloch announced that a grand jury had decided not to indict Wilson for any crimes related to the fatal shooting of Brown.
The university’s National Pan Hel-lenic Council (NPHC), a council com-prised of nine historically black Greek lettered organizations, is sponsoring the event, according to the release.

letter to the editor
Homecoming Court selection column inaccurate, misinformedOn Sept. 30, an article was published identify-ing issues in the “flawed” Homecoming Court selection process. As the Executive Board of Traditions Commission, the organization that runs the student side of Homecoming, we are disappointed by the writer’s misinformed opinions and inaccurate claims. Since the author did not contact anyone involved in the
planning, we would like to offer some insight into a few of the statements. First, the author states “Homecoming is a missed opportunity to recognize students with other worthy attributes, like perse-verance in overcoming personal or physical obstacles.” Had research been conducted, one would find many past candidates have
done just that. From veterans, to single parents, to overcoming abuse and bullying based on sexual orientation, we find it insulting to discredit past candidates’ strug-gles and insinuate they have not overcome adversity. The author is unaware the “rig-orous” process also includes short answer questions and an interview, which both give potential candidates opportunities to show-case life experiences. Second, the overarching claim that the court process is not inclusive to all types of people and “favors those who are members of large student organizations…who have a captive audience they can campaign to” is inaccurate. Arguably, finalists are well-con-nected, but that is because they are involved and engaged with the campus community. If the author researched more than the one past court member mentioned, she would have found people from all walks of life, as outlined above. The Traditions Commis-sion strongly supports inclusivity, and the selection process would never exclude any
qualified candidate on the grounds of race, gender, class, sexual orientation, disability, etc. Additionally, the claim that “the exhaus-tive list of prerequisites to the application makes no mention of gender identification,” is partially correct. The ‘prerequisites’ we believe she is referencing are: (1) senior status, (2) being on campus for fall 2015 and (3) completing the application. We hardly would call this exhaustive. There are no rules forcing applicants to select ‘King’ or ‘Queen’ based on gender. Anyone can run for King or Queen—it is their choice, not ours. Lastly, we take this tradition seriously and always look for improvement. We are proud of our past candidates and feel the article was clearly a biased and uninformed representation of the process. Homecoming is a long-standing tradition and we encour-age everyone to become involved in our events held Oct. 19-24 – find out more at studentactivities.syr.edu. Go Orange!

Georgia execution case sheds light on cruelty of the death penalty
Regardless of how a person feels about the morality of the death penalty, one thing is certain: The punishment gives
an absolute power to the government. Because of this terrifying influence, the death penalty should be eradicated in all 50 states. Kelly Gissendaner was executed at 12:21 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 30, making her the first woman to be executed in the state of Georgia in 70 years. Many conservatives are in support of the death penalty because they believe that the punishment should be equivalent to the crime. However, taking a human life should not be, and really is not, that black and white. Gissendaner was convicted in 1997 for persuading her lover to kill her husband. Her partner in crime, Gregory Owen, was sentenced to life in prison. Owen took a plea deal, testified against Gissendaner and will
become eligible for parole in 2022, according to USA Today. “The question of whether or not murderers deserve to die is the wrong one. The real ques-tion is whether other humans have a right to kill them,” said Leszek Syski, a human rights activist from Maryland, back in 1982. His words are still relevant today. The death penalty does not only affect the person losing their life, and it is for this reason that humans should not be allowed such a power over others. In this particular case, Gissendaner did not commit the physical act of murder. Rath-er, she convinced her lover to do the dirty
work for her. While this in no way means that her crime is any less wrong, it makes the question of what punishment she deserves much more complicated. The fact must be considered that the man who literally had Douglas Gissendaner’s blood on his hands got to live just because he had the opportunity to make a deal. The well-publicized news stories made it clear that the death of both of their parents dev-astated the Gissendaner children, which should not be ignored by pro-death penalty groups. Pope Francis effectively expressed the concerns of those against the death penalty in a letter written on his behalf to the board in charge of Gissendaner’s execution. Francis implored the board members to think about the consequences of the actions they would be taking. Francis emphasized that every life is sacred and “society can only benefit from the
rehabilitation of those convicted of crimes.” Everyone should recognize that humanity exists in each and every person no matter how deep it is buried, Pope Francis reminded the recipients of his letter. It is not a question of whether or not the person “deserves” to die. This is because no matter how long and often the topic is discussed, there will never be a true conclusion because it is entirely a matter of opinion. There will never be a way for human beings to definitively determine if murderers should die for their crimes. For this and many other reasons, the death penalty should be abolished because it allows certain people to dangerously yield the power of life and death over others.

OOPINION
editorial board
Panel must include expert moderatorscribble
For the “(In)Justice For All” dis-cussion panel to be as impactful as possible, it should be monitored by an expert in the complex topics of police brutality and racial injustice, and be made accessible via stream-ing across campus. The discussion panel on Oct. 28 in Goldstein Auditorium will feature Lesley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, and Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin. The panel will also include National Bar Association President Benjamin Crump, CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin, CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield and Department of Public Safety Chief Bobby Maldonado, according to a Syracuse University News release. The panel is a well-rounded approach to the racialized issue of police brutality in the United
States, as it includes expert figures in the media, policing, social justice, law and the victims’ mothers. The event is an opportunity for the SU community to have a multifaceted discussion in an organized manner, especially considering in 2014 Syracuse was named the ninth-most racially segregated city in the United States by CNY Fair Housing, a local nonprofit organization. The potential for an in-depth conversation should not be sacri-ficed due to the lack of an expert moderator. In order for the audience to get the most out of the panel, The Daily Orange Editorial Board strongly suggests that, at least, the student moderator be accompanied by an expert in these fields — possi-bly a professor or an employee in the Office of Multicultural Affairs. In addition to maintaining prop-
er moderation, event coordinators must ensure that they have taken measures to make the event acces-sible, including to those who are unable to get a ticket. Due to the high-profile panel of experts and limited seating, the event should be streamed through-out campus buildings, as was done with the visit of the Dalai Lama to SU in 2012 and the inauguration of Chancellor Kent Syverud in 2014. To stream the discussion would ensure that the university is providing students with as many opportunities as possible to experience the panel, while rightfully preserving the inti-macy of the discussion. These measures will help ensure that the event is available for all who want to see it, and that those watch-ing get the most out of it through proper moderation.
Cities along the I-90 corridor have suffered in recent decades due to the declining
industrial sector, but Gov. Andrew Cuomo has an idea that could leave a positive, lasting change in the area. Cuomo announced in Syracuse last week a $77.8 million plan as a part of his “Capital for a Day” campaign, which aims at improving the upstate New York economy. The plan includes efforts to create sustainable jobs, enhance local infrastructure and higher educa-tion, and alleviate homelessness. Some argue Cuomo should have initiated a less-comprehensive campaign like he did in Utica, where he implemented “a single, economic game-changer” strategy. Others say Syracuse’s struggling public schools and poor water sys-tems were “barely addressed at all.”
But those who doubt Cuomo’s efforts should remain optimis-tic. The $77.8 million will spur much-needed economic growth as the bulk of the funding will be invested in the region’s higher education system ($30 million), infrastructure, particularly the I-81 project ($13 million) and home-lessness alleviation ($16 million). Let’s start with the latter. Syra-cuse has the highest rate of extreme poverty among blacks and Hispanics in the United States, according to a study of the nation’s largest metro-politan areas. One in two Syracuse children are now living in poverty.
However, $7.9 million is going straight to the Rescue Mission Alliance of Syracuse, which works to combat homelessness in the community. While it is unlikely that Syra-cuse will see immediate results, it’s nonetheless a big step in addressing homelessness in the city, especially near the west side. The higher education investments will not affect SU, as it is a private uni-versity, nor will the enhancement of local infrastructure. SU will, however, benefit from ongoing improvements to the New York State Fairground. The $64 million project, which was announced in January, will transform the fairgrounds into a facility that is profitable year-round. This means that not only will SU students have another weekend attraction, but tourism, consumer
spending and area businesses will benefit from increased traffic. Cuomo said in a press conference last week, “We want to make (upstate New York) economically viable. We want to have sustainable economies; we want jobs coming back to New York — we don’t want jobs leaving New York. We want young people staying, we want young people coming.” Cuomo added that with these investments comes the multi-plier effect, where an increase in spending means an increase in local income greater than the initial amount spent. In this case, the investments could possibly aid the surrounding areas of SU and, indirectly, stimulate business and employment on Marshall Street. Over the past four and a half years, the state has coupled with private
sector investors in a $350 million Inner Harbor project, effectively transforming a barren wasteland into an attractive and revenue generating part of town. The project includes a 134-room Aloft Hotel, apartment buildings, restaurants and retailers. When coupled with Cuomo’s announcements, it is clear that the city of Syracuse is only improving. Cuomo’s “Capital for a Day” cam-paign is a leap in the right direction. His initiative will make Syracuse, and SU, a more desirable place to be.

client management, the turning around of chal-lenged firms and responses to human resource issues, said Consurtio CEO Terry Brown.
The students will also represent companies and help them develop through consultations, Brown added.
“This will be a huge (learning tool) for students getting out in the corporate world,” Brown said.
Consurtio will have three tracks available to students: a consulting track that will allow students to do market research and social
media for businesses, a track that will allow for new businesses to be launched and a track that will help distressed companies.
The firm will select students to partake in the program, but Brown said the program will be available to all students at every level if they wish to take part.
Students working in the firm will have stu-dent leaders at the head of the company, but professors, faculty and subject experts at Whit-man will be available to help, which is where Brown said the education part comes into play. Students will be walked through issues rather than being left alone, Brown added.
The students will work with real companies on real issues. One of the first companies to part-ner with the firm is SiteWorx. SiteWorx CEO Ken Quaglio said employers find student experience in programs such as Consurtio valuable.
Sandra Carruitero, a senior retail and supply chain management student who will graduate in December, worked on one of Con-surtio’s first consulting projects. Carruitero and a team of other students worked for the Minnowbrook Conference Center, a nonprofit owned by Syracuse University. The students did market research, analyzed financials, mod-eled a new price structure, expanded the non-
profit’s social media and measured the impact of these recommendations on the local com-munity, Carruitero said.
In addition, the venture has potential for global reach. Kavajecz said he hopes the ven-ture will expand to SU’s centers in London, Hong Kong and Beijing.
To fund the firm, Consurtio will sell shares and in a symbolic gesture, Kavajecz placed a seal on one of the bonds that Consurtio will sell. Kavajecz said 100 shares had been sealed but many more would be made as the company continues to grow.
get dropped in the first two weeks of classes. “They wouldn’t be blindsided,” she said. “...
They wouldn’t have to wait until the school year and then start moving classes around.”
A resolution for the initiative has not yet been drafted, and Seedat said doing so would be up
to Suchak. If one were to be drafted and passed, students would be able to access syllabi through MySlice before they have to choose their classes.
In enforcing the policy, Suchak said the most difficult thing for SA would be requiring professors to have their syllabi in on time.
Suchak said she knows some are weary of it.The idea to make syllabi available before
registering for classes isn’t new to SA; it’s an
initiative that has been on the table for a few years, Seedat said. Just last year, for example, then-president Boris Gresely worked on a simi-lar project but didn’t get far with it, Suchak said.
But after looking into the policies of other universities over the summer, Suchak decided that this was something SU needed, and so she has been working on the initiative since.
Both Seedat and Suchak are policy studies
majors, and the syllabus for every public affairs course is available online for students to look over before registering for the class. Seedat said it’s something that’s helped her over the years and she wants students in all majors to have that same opportunity.
“I know that it could really help students,” she said.

“I really want to empower people to think, ‘In our own sphere of influence, how can I do my part?’” Obear said.
Rodriguez said students in the S.I. New-house School of Communications need a proficiency in English that is almost native. Her professors knew she was an international student, but Rodriguez said she felt they didn’t
know how to handle her language deficiencies. She added that her teachers didn’t know
where else to send her except SU’s Writing Center and she didn’t feel they knew how to help her with the journalistic style of writing, which is what is needed to pursue her major.
Obear encouraged students to talk to their deans, professors and even the chancellor when they are having issues. Obear said SU should hold an open forum once a semester to talk about the systemic changes that are happening. The forum
would help to keep a constant conversation about creating inclusions, student support and success across a full range of differences, Obear said.
At the Student Diversity Summit on Sat-urday, Obear gave a short presentation and had one-on-one talks with students and fac-ulty members.
“Obear added that from her conversations with Syverud and other campus leaders, it seemed they were all willing to engage each other and look at the underprivileged and mar-
ginalized identities on campus to recognize what their responsibilities are and should be.
Obear also stressed the inclusion of faculty members. She said faculty and staff should reflect the students in all their differences in order to meet the students’ needs and serve the full breadth of campus. These differenc-es include disability status, race, sex, gender identity, class, background, citizenship and immigration status among others.

The Chittenango Ovate Amber Snail is considered the most endangered species in New York state,
and Cody Gilbertson, a graduate stu-dent at SUNY-ESF, is breeding this snail population — which only has about 300 snails — in captivity.
Located in only one region in the world — Chittenango Falls State Park in upstate New York — these snails were being closely monitored through mark-recapture surveys by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) when it was discovered that the population was declining.
USFWS formed a partnership with the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry as well as state parks, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Rosamond Gifford Zoo and the Sen-eca Park Zoo to make sure that this species of snail did not go extinct.
These particular land snails are detritivores, meaning they process dead leaves and spread native fun-gal spores around, which ultimately keeps people from becoming buried alive in the decaying matter that is a natural part of forests, said Rebecca Rundell, the principal investigator of the conservation effort.
“Each time we lose a species from the forest we lose some complexity — our environment becomes homogenized,” Rundell said. “And we can rarely predict the negative consequences of this. We are left with a puzzle that has many missing pieces, all of which are irreplaceable from an evolutionary perspective. ”
SUNY-ESF has the only lab in the U.S. that is working on this project. About 20 years ago, another master’s student at SUNY-ESF had attempted
a similar experiment on a colony of these snails that were kept at Rosa-mond Gifford Zoo, Gilbertson said. He was successful in getting the snails to reproduce but the colony did not last in the long-term as many of the hatchings died in captivity. There was an 80 percent mortality rate within the first two weeks.
With the 600 snails that are cur-rently being kept in the SUNY-ESF lab, Gilbertson said the mortality rate is still at virtually zero over three months.
Gilbertson said she wanted to spe-cifically focus on the snails’ diet, so she observed where the snails were found and compared that to her findings from one snail that she studied intensely over the winter. She fed the snail many different leaf species to discover what it liked. That snail grew very well in cap-tivity in comparison to the snails the other student kept about 20 years ago, Gilbertson said. Those snails’ shells cracked or became deformed.
“This diet is providing support for survival of the hatchlings and high-er reproduction,” Gilbertson said. “Those two things will help propel the population up and gain security for their overall population.”
After more was learned about the diet of the snail population, Gilbert-son said adult snails were brought in to breed and hatch eggs to be kept in special climate-controlled growth chambers that match their environ-ment in the wild.
Rundell said the lab is discovering that there are certain species of dead leaves that the snails seem to grow fastest on, and they are collecting data in several places near Chit-tenango Falls to better understand the snails’ microhabitat preferences.
Some of the snails were released back into the wild this past Thursday and others will become founders for
new populations, Rundell said. Gilbertson said she hopes the back-
up colonies given to Rosamond Gifford Zoo and Seneca Park Zoo can be used to supplement the wild population.
She added that she hopes that this conservation effort will be applied to many different conservation efforts across the world since “from inver-tebrates to mollusks — we can learn from this experience in conservation.”
Gilbertson said a lot of people question why conserving a particu-lar species is important.
“It’s not the one specific species, it’s a collective; it’s the whole picture,” she said. “All those pieces that we’re losing create that picture and we just try to preserve those pieces.”

SU students drink more than students nationally.“I think our students need to step back and
ask themselves why they chose to drink and why they chose to drink in the quantities that they do,” Wallack said. “Hopefully in doing so, we can see some behavioral shifts and insights gained.”
SU was ranked as the No. 5 party school in the U.S. in August by The Princeton Review, down from its No. 1 ranking in 2014.
The average number of referrals for liquor law violations at SU peer institutions is about 530. Tulane University, one of SU’s 16 peer institutions, did not have 2014 numbers in its most recent report, as of Saturday night. Tulane and Lehigh University were the only two peer
institutions to be named to The Princeton Review’s list of the top 20 party schools.
Nikki Cooter, the manager of administra-tion and Clery compliance for DPS, said when she submitted the numbers last year, the U.S. Department of Education contacted her to ask if something was wrong with the data because the
numbers were so high. The numbers are cycli-cal, she said, and now the numbers are more consistent with what they had been in the past.
“The aberration actually isn’t this year; it was last year,” Cooter said. She added that tar-geted programming, such as Orange After Dark,
helps students do something other than drink.The programs can’t completely be tied to
the drop in numbers, Cooter said, as “correla-tion does not always equal causation,” but they play into the equation. Generational and cultural changes play more of a role, she said, as societal and cultural changes can impact the way students “see themselves in the world and the way they behave in it.”
“I think every couple of years you just get a bunch of party animals. For lack of a better way to put it, I think every few years there’s just a lot of them that want to have a lot of fun,” Cooter said. “I don’t know if they spend a lot of time watching ‘Animal House.’ I don’t know.”

Fulton, National Bar Association President Benjamin Crump, CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin, CNN news anchor Fredricka Whitfield and Department of Public Safety Chief Bobby Maldonado will also be participating in the discussion, according to the release.
Panelists will answer questions from a moder-ator and audience members, who can submit their questions via Twitter with #IFACuseNPHC.
“Our goal is to make this an informative event, to bring understanding and unity with-in the Syracuse community about injustices within the country,” NPHC Vice President Nina Rodgers said in the release. “As the title for our event demonstrates, one act of violence, mistreatment or wrongdoing is something that
affects not just one community. It affects us all.”
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to step down
Arne Duncan, the secretary of education and a member of President Barack Obama’s cabinet, announced on Friday that he is stepping down at the end of the year.
Duncan, who was a member of Obama’s original cabinet, will be succeeded by Deputy Secretary of Education John King Jr.
King Jr. was New York state’s education commissioner before leaving for the Depart-ment of Education in February 2011.
“Arne has done more to bring our education-al system — sometimes kicking and screaming — into the 21st century than anybody else,” Obama said on Friday. “America is going to be better off for what he has done.”
Duncan, the ninth Secretary of Education in U.S. history, will have served the second-lon-gest tenure as education secretary after only Richard Riley, who served under Bill Clinton.
“During his time as Secretary, Arne has made almost unprecedented strides in chang-ing the direction of education in this country through his work to improve graduation rates, expand access to community colleges and raise academic standards for students all across the country,” Vice President and Syracuse Univer-sity alumnus Joe Biden said in a statement.
Duncan, 50, who is the former head of Chi-cago Public Schools, will return to Chicago, according to The Chicago Tribune.
King Jr., 40, will serve as acting secretary, meaning he will not have to be confirmed by the Senate. While leading New York’s educa-tion department, King Jr. pushed for more
student testing, which was tied to teacher eval-uations as part of the Common Core.
“It is a troubling choice because John King’s tenure in New York was unsuccessful,” said the Alliance for Quality Education in a statement. “He was not open to parent input on issues from improving struggling schools to the use of standardized testing. He probably has done more to inspire opt outs than any person in the country except Andrew Cuomo.”
While some are critical of King Jr.’s past work, the president is not, calling King Jr. “an exceptionally talented educator.”
“He’s been an educator all his life — a teach-er, a principal, a leader of schools, the New York state’s education chief,” Obama said of King Jr. “He’s the right man to lead the department.”

$60The cost of a membership to access the SALT Makerspace on Tuesdays through Fridays from 2 p.m. until 10 p.m.

There’s a space in downtown Syr-acuse where just about anything can be made.
A student produced jewelry modeled after a ring she made out of an old key for an SU jewelry class; a man designed a golf-ball washing device; an artist used a laser etcher to create woodblock prints.
The Syracuse Arts, Learning & Technology (SALT) Makerspace is for artists, engineers and hobbyists who want to bring their ideas to life using advanced technology. The space offers two 3D printers, computers with soft-ware that works with the printers and a laser cutter that can be used for etching and creating prints. They also offer classes in using the 3D printers, 3D modeling software, laser cutting and Adobe Illustrator.
Membership to SALT Makerspace is available, as well. For $60, members have access to the space’s services from 2-10 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, and for $100, members have 24-hour access — this option will be open to only 10 members to start, though.
The SALT Makerspace moved to its new location on Oct. 1. Formerly located at the Delavan Center in downtown Syr-acuse, with a 1600 square foot woodshop and metal shop and a 700 square foot clean space, to the second floor of 201 W. Jefferson St. in a 400 square foot office inside Coworks.
The move of SALT Makerspace came down to lack of funding and space. In order to cut costs, the new location will no longer have a space for the woodshop and metal shop.
The idea for SALT Makerspace sparked after its director Michael Giannattasio graduated Syracuse Uni-versity in 2012. Giannattasio, who has a M.F.A. in sculpture from SU, was trying to figure out his plans post-college and his friend and future business partner, suggested he check out the idea of mak-ing a shared community space for creat-ing. Her son worked at one in Somerville, Massachusetts, called Artisan’s Asylum. The SALT Makerspace officially opened in Sept. 2014.
Giannattasio said that one of the most rewarding parts of the Makerspace is the result of collaborations between its diverse members — they’ve included SU students, Le Moyne College students, retirees and small business employees.
“When you get the tech person who has that very analytical mind and you get the artist with the very analytical mind, they’re each bringing a really different angle to a similar situation,” Giannattasio said. “Usually what results from that is some really nice stuff.”

Syracuse University’s Department of Drama’s latest musi, “Kiss me Kate,” was defined by the cast’s chemistry
and strong vocal per-formances.
T h e s h o w o p e n e d to large a p p l a u s e Oct. 3 at the
Archbold Theater at the Syracuse Stage/Drama Theater Complex. It will be running through Oct. 10.
Written by playwrights Samuel and Bella Spewack, the musical fol-lows the story of two arguing cou-ples as they attempt to put on a pro-duction of William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew.”
Jodi Snyder, a senior musical theater major, played the lead role of Lilli/Kate.
Snyder showed off her wide vocal range, especially in her ren-dition of “So in Love,” where she hit every note.
Ezekiel Edmonds, a junior musi-cal theater major who played the male lead, Fred, gave an equally compelling performance.
His interpretation of “Where Is the Life That Late I Led?” left audience members laughing and clapping passionately.
Together, Snyder and Edmonds bounced energy off of one another. Their back-and-forth quips, as well as the tender moments that their characters shared, were testaments to the actors’ compatibility.
Charity Van Tassel, a senior musical theater major, gave an energetic performance as Lois/Bianca, an actress who struggles with her boyfriend Bill, played by senior musical theater major Brian Sandstrom.
From her crooning rendition of “Why Can’t You Behave” to her lively version of “Always True to You in My Fashion,” Van Tassel gave a performance that had audience members shouting, “Bravo! Bravo!”

at SRC Inc., a research and development com-pany, started coming to do his work at the Makerspace just to socialize.
“He was like, ‘I want to be somewhere I can have a conversation, take a minute and bullsh*t with somebody,’ so he would come in and do his work sitting at the tables because other people were around doing stuff and he could stop and have a conversation,” Giannattasio said.
Eventually, the man began a project at Makerspace. The computer architect started talking to a member who was a graphic design-er about creating a different kind of tablet interface, and the two began working together. Giannattasio said that these interactions are characteristic of the SALT Makerspace.
Giannattasio said he is looking forward to the new location. Now that it’s on the Connective Corridor, SALT Makerspace will be more accessible. In Armory Square, it also will be in one of Syracuse’s greatest hubs of local businesses.
Annalena Davis, who uses the SALT Maker-space to create matte and woodblock prints, is look-ing forward to the new location but said that she’ll miss the artistic community of the original spot.
“It’ll be a different space. I don’t know if it’ll be as art-centered. I think it’ll be a new exposure both to people in the Cowork space and the Makerspace and how they can work
together,” Davis said.However, the plan is for the new location to
be temporary. Giannattasio said to reach its maximum potential, SALT Makerspace is going to need to relocate and reopen its woodshop and metal shop. Giannattasio said that they’re going to need a 3,000 or 4,000 square foot space — which would require $2,500 a month — to reopen the woodshop and metal shop.
To achieve this goal, Giannattasio plans on meeting with local businesses to redefine his business plan, going to national grid for advertising grants, applying for grants from local foundations and organizations, involving local Syracuse schools, starting a Kickstarter page and relying on donations.
“All these organizations really need to get involved because for the most part they’ve said, ‘We love this idea, we love what this is,’ and they need to show that love and show that monetarily for us to continue to exist,” Giannattasio said.
Giannattasio said for the space to be suc-cessful, it will need the support of the entire community, including Syracuse’s universities, local businesses and the CenterState Corpora-tion for Economic Opportunity.
“I truly believe that with the Makerspace and the relationships that we’ve built, anybody can make anything in this space, and they can make anything in Syracuse,” Giannattasio said. “The sky’s the limit.”
“Kiss Me, Kate” was solidified by a talented supporting cast. Senior musical theater major Kelsey Brodeur, who played the role of Hattie, earned her share of laughs from her animated facial expressions. Meanwhile, senior musical theater major Luke Brau, who played Ralph, got one of the biggest laughs of the night with the line, “Be quiet you lunatics!”
The opening song to the second act, “Too Darn Hot,” was an audience favorite. Led by senior musical theater major Jon Paul Roby, the dance number owed its success to Roby’s suave voice and the flips, splits and tricks exe-cuted by the dance ensemble.
“I thought it was amazing,” said Kayla Roby, an audience member and older sister of Jon Paul. “I thought that all the leads were so
talented, and all the supporting people were really awesome too. It was so much fun.”
Richard Westfahl, a junior musical theater major who played one of the two gangsters, said that the energy from the audience was part of what made the opening night so wonderful.
“Kiss Me, Kate” was filled with physical com-edy, witty one-liners and recurring jokes that made audience members laugh harder every time. The costumes were bright and colorful, and the set flowed together from one scene to the next with almost seamless transitions.
Markcus Blair, a freshman musical theater major who was part of the set crew, said that working on “Kiss Me, Kate” brought him closer to his fellow cast members.
“I just feel like tonight was so great, and seeing it from the start to the end, it was abso-lutely amazing,” Blair said.

Losing Small Plates is a disappointment, but it turns out the replacement isn’t so bad.
Small Plates has changed to Aster Pantry & Parlor, an American dining restaurant and lounge. The upscale restaurant is focused on borrowing bits and pieces from different cultures. The dishes include samplings from French, Italian, Greek and Spanish cuisines, just to name a few. The owners replaced their old idea of serving comfort foods like pizza and sliders to offering a classier dining experience to customers.
Aster Pantry & Parlor has been very busy since opening Sept. 10. Located at 116 Walton St., the restaurant’s concept is to provide fine dining with a casual feel for their customers. Aster balances being upscale and casual at the same time. The servers give you frequent attention, but you don’t need to come in with a suit and tie.
I went to Aster during parents weekend with a large party of people and tried a variety of dishes. For appetizers, we started with the tuna carpaccio, one-minute ceviche, fluke crudo and the creamery plate. The tuna carpaccio was very light and unfulfilling. The pieces of tuna were too thin and could have used more flavor.
On the other hand, the one-minute ceviche was delicious. I enjoyed the combination of mussels, top neck clams and octopus in the vibrant Thai basil sauce. It had just enough spice and zest. The fluke crudo is cooked in a very succulent orange-chili glaze and com-pressed with melon and sumac. The flavors in the fluke were just right and I thought this dish was tasty.
I highly recommend the creamery plate. This is a good dish to share to with a group of people and includes a selection of cheeses from local farms in Ithaca, Buffalo and the Seneca Lake region.
The cheeses include goat cheese, Gouda, Buffalo bleu, Finger Lakes gold and Asiago.
My favorite was the Gouda. The cheese was smooth and had a mild taste.
For my entrée, I got the Branzino. This is a Mediterranean sea bass with fennel over a clam-based couscous. I didn’t love this dish and thought that the Branzino was very bland.
I was very intrigued by the carrot side dish and had to try it. The server explained that the carrots were cooked in a mole sauce that contained 32 spices. The spices in the sauce gave the carrots a fiery taste at the beginning with a sweet taste at the end. Small Plates transformed to Aster just to change things up.
The former manager of Small Plates and current manager of Aster Pantry & Parlor, Aaron Labulis explained that Syracuse needed something it was lacking — the fine dining establishment that Aster is currently trying to be.
Labulis had been managing Small Plates when it first opened until vice president John Gregory introduced concept of Aster Pantry & Parlor.
There are two parts of the restaurant: The
parlor and the pantry. When you walk into Aster, you immediately see the parlor on the right side. The parlor has a cozy Victorian feel. There are couches, old paintings, a piano and a mouse head mounted to the wall. The parlor is very relaxed and comfortable, typically for people coming in for cocktails and appetizers. The pantry is the main dining room. It has more of a fancy feel. There are fresh plants all around, along with old teapots, pitchers and vintage mirrors on the wall.
Unlike most rowdy bars, Aster has a very relaxed bar in the center of their restaurant. All of the wines are either sustainably farmed, certified organic or biodynamic.
Their most popular sustainably farmed wine is the Pinot Grigio, which comes from California.
Overall, Aster has a healthy menu. All of the ingredients used are locally-sourced. They do not have a lot of processed food and almost everything is homemade. The upscale joint is a decent replacement for what used to be one of Armory’s better food spots.
Aster Pantry & Parlor opened on Sept. 10 in in the space that used to be Small Plates. The restaurant’s concept is to provide fine dining with a casual feel for its customers. The restaurant offers an overall healthy menu with vegan options. The owner stresses farm-to-table style dining. kelli mosher staff photographer

Phil Wheddon got to see his players, and the ball, up close on Sunday, as Syracuse mainly kept pos-session on the near sideline. After 20 minutes he screamed, “Other side,” slamming his clipboard into the ground.
This year, the Orange has had success working the ball up the field starting from its back line. On Sunday, the team wanted to focus more on quickly switching sides of the field in order to create holes in the Louisville defense.
“The game plan was: get to one side, bring it back to the other, and then break them down that way, and then move forward quickly,” sophomore Jessica Vigna said.
But the execution wasn’t there. Flat passes and a lack of ball movement doomed the Syracuse (4-8-1, 0-4 Atlantic Coast) offense in a 1-0 loss to Louisville (6-5-1, 2-2) on Sunday in at SU Soccer Stadium.
“We did a lot better of a job in practice all week,” senior midfielder Jackie Firenze said. “We didn’t connect very well today, but really, our biggest downfall was in the first half, we just didn’t con-nect any passes.”
SU’s stagnant play hindered its scoring oppor-tunities. The Orange finished the match with only seven total shots. Cardinals goalkeeper Taylor Bucklin wasn’t challenged for most of the match.
Lack of offensive execution dooms Syracuse in 1-0 loss
By Matt Alexanderstaff writer
Courtney Brosnan kneeled with her hands on the ground at the side of the goalpost. Mad-die Pack put her hands over her head and Jackie Firenze beckoned for her teammates to regroup as they paced around with looks of shock and frustration.
Louisville forward Isabella Habuda had just gathered a pass off a Syracuse turn-over near midfield and streaked toward the SU goal. She took two long dribbles before launching a shot high over Brosnan and into the back of the net.
“I think it’s (frustration),” Syracuse head coach Phil Wheddon said of the team’s reac-tion. “We’re so much better than what we’re showing at times. And for us, our season has really been … a game of two halves.”
Syracuse couldn’t catch up to Louisville (6-5-1, 2-2 Atlantic Coast) after conceding a goal 13 minutes into the contest. Despite
gaining momentum as the game wore on, the Orange (4-8-1, 0-4) ran out of time in a 1-0 loss at SU Soccer Stadium.
Wheddon called Syracuse’s early play frantic and said his team gave the ball away too much.
“Sometimes we have a tendency to come out a little flat,” Pack said.
Syracuse looked out of sync early. In the 23rd minute, SU forced a pass back down the sideline instead of turning and looking up the field.
Later, Natasha Tcheki-Jamgotchian tripped over the ball while trying to make a pass and fell awkwardly on the ground. Assistant coach Kelly Lawrence walked away from the sideline before returning and pointing up the field to get Tcheki-Jamgotchian’s attention.
“We struggled a little bit in the first half connecting passes and just playing simple,” Brosnan said.
By the time the first half ended, Syracuse was down 1-0 and still looking for its footing.
“It takes us 45 minutes to get going,”
Wheddon said. “I mean, we concede goals in the first half and then in the second half we turn it up a notch. We just can’t wait around for that to happen.”
Syracuse was often stuck either forcing the ball into difficult windows up the field or pass-ing it back toward its own goal. Multiple times the sideline shouted and waved to move the ball in the other direction.
Pack said Syracuse didn’t play “clean.” Hesitant passes, poor shot selection and soft
balls led to turnovers and lack of possession. At halftime, she said the coaches called the execution “inexcusable.”
“We challenged them to change it and make things better and connect passes, which I thought they did in the second half,” Wheddon said. “The problem is, you go down one-nil in the first half and you’re chasing the game.”
SU’s back line buckled down in the second half. Brosnan came up with two saves and punched away a corner kick in a defensive stand in the 70th minute. And with less than 15 minutes remaining, Alana O’Neill slid in to block a Louisville counterattack.
Still, it was another slow start that Syracuse couldn’t overcome.
“It’s not that we don’t have the ability,” Wheddon said. “It’s just, maybe we need to try something different in the warm-up or give them a pot of coffee or something before they go out in the first half, I don’t know.”
SU stumbles against Louisville after ‘inexcusable’ 1st half
With each blunder, the Orange seemed to get more frustrated. After a pop-up shot that was easily saved, coaches put their hands on their heads. Right before the first half ended, Firenze yelled at her teammates that they were doing too much watching and sitting.
“Something that we like to focus on is mak-ing sure when the ball goes forward, and we have pressure on the ball, that everybody gets up the field and stays on the next player so we press the field,” Firenze said.
“It just happened in that instance that there were a couple of people who were just standing and weren’t pressing when one person was stepping to the ball.”
The Orange compounded its possession and passing issues by not making quick enough deci-sions when it actually got the ball near the goal.
“I would like us to take our opportunities quicker,” Wheddon said. “We’re taking a touch, or two touches, and then shooting, and by that time we’re getting closed down.”
Wheddon reiterated his team’s initial game plan was to suck the Cardinals defense to one side and quickly turn the field to work the ball over to the other side.
Still, he knows that his team needs to find a way to execute and put the ball in the back of the net.
“If you look at the stats, we outshot them, we had more corner kicks then them,” said Wheddon. “That has to, at some point, translate into goals.”

a ball into the circle from the top and it bounced off the goalie’s pads and around the scrum until Erin Gillingham sent it home for her first goal of the season.
“This whole season we’ve had a lot of chances and just missed them,” Weers said. “It was just a matter of timing. The forwards timed really good today and I’m happy they became goals.”
Just four minutes after that, Degnan received a pass from Fenne down the left sideline and played the ball into the middle where Emma Lamison deflected the ball into the goal.
Lamison scored in the first half off one of
Weers’ long plays in. The ball rolled through two Cornell defenders and just to the right of its goalie, who stuck her leg out to try and stop it. But the ball instead found Lamison’s stick. Lamison, who hadn’t seen the ball until a split-second before, helped the ball find the back of the net.
“Obviously (Weers’ passes are) great to open up,” Lamison said. “But you have to be in the right position or the ball will just go out of bounds. We know though that when we’re in the circle that Roos can find us.”
At 56:04, Fenne scored an unassisted goal, but before she dribbled through two defenders, spun and back-chopped the ball into the bottom right of the cage, a long pass was threaded through two defenders by Weers.
Weers scored on a penalty stroke from seven yards away and Degnan, just as she opened the second-half scoring, closed it at 63:20 with her second goal of the day, the junior’s first career multi-goal game.
The team focused on scoring all week. It ran scrimmages focused on generating offense from the back, as Weers did, and

SU defense stifles CU in 1st half to set up explosive 2nd halfBy Chris Thomsencontributing writer
Every week, Syracuse builds a specific defen-sive scheme based on the upcoming opponent. Against Cornell, SU was able to lean on a familiar aggressive strategy to neutralize the Big Red attack.
“We definitely did a lot of midfield traps and got them above the 50, so they weren’t really able to penetrate,” midfielder Emma Lamison said. “We worked a lot on our press this week, going down the sidelines and get-ting a quick counter.”
Syracuse’s stingy first-half defense allowed
the No. 2 Orange (11-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast) to maintain a one-goal halftime lead in an eventual 9-1 blowout of Cornell (5-4, 1-1 Ivy) on Sunday afternoon at J.S. Coyne Field. The Big Red had only five shots, and its only goal came off a rebound from a penalty corner.
SU’s game plan focused on trapping Cor-nell’s ball handlers. The Orange midfielders guided the Big Red down the sideline, limiting Cornell to two options: pass to a teammate in midfield or try to navigate to the cage from the corner.
If Cornell tried to pass it inside, Syracuse midfielders were ready to intercept the ball. If Cornell dribbled to the corner, Syracuse
defenders trapped the ball handler from the outside before she could get close to the cage.
“We analyze them before the game,” Syracuse midfielder Roos Weers said, “… and then we make the decision to play a specific kind of pressure.”
The extensive planning is key to the Orange’s success on defense. Syracuse ranks third in the country in goals against per game (0.87) and second in scoring margin (2.83).
SU owes much of its success to aggressive-ness and swarming around the ball. Syracuse’s forwards were combative in chasing the ball, breaking up passes and transitioning to offense on the fly.
“(Our defenders have) the mindset of inter-
cepting, wanting the ball first and being the first person to the ball before anything else,” forward Serra Degnan said.
The Orange didn’t allow a shot until the final two minutes of the first half. At that point, Syracuse led, 2-0. SU’s counterattack staved off Cornell well enough in the opening 35 min-utes to keep the Orange ahead before opening up the game with seven second-half goals.
Despite the big win, Bradley still sees areas for defensive growth.
“(Our defense) wasn’t as tight as I’d like it to be,” Bradley said, “… and that’s an area that we have to continue to grow.”
Gross about returning to Syracuse, where he became a household name as a player from 1964-1966. Little had been back every once in awhile, but now his role at SU is full-time.
His job requires him to do “a little bit of everything.” He mentors student-athletes. He meets with recruits. He mediates and acts as a soundboard for frustrated employees who need to vent. And he recently served as a “men-tor” to the transitioning athletic directors in April and May.
“There’s an instant respect you get with Floyd,” former interim AD Pete Sala said. “He’s the real deal, that’s all I can say. He did it the right way.”
In public, Little is an ambassador for the athletics program. He’s shown on the big screen shaking hands with the “Hero of the Game” and other special guests during home games at the Carrier Dome. He watches games from the side-lines, giving feedback to players with a thumb’s up, down or sideways.
He’s taken student-athletes from different sports under his wing. He’s worked with Durell Eskridge, Cam Lynch and Terrel Hunt of the football team.
After Syracuse lost 34-24 to then-No. 8 LSU, Little spoke to a locker room of players who didn’t want to say anything positive. Line-backer Zaire Franklin reflected on the few plays that could have turned the game. Scott Shafer said he wanted to “win the damn game for this town.”
“You won,” Little told the team after the game. “The score didn’t determine who won this game, you won this game.”
Interacting with student-athletes is a large part of Little’s job. But he also serves as a face of the athletic department, and his legend never escapes him. Sitting at his desk, tucked behind a “swear jar,” he pulls out a stack of cards and letters from families, players and fans he’s influenced.
Little recalls an experience where a man wrote to him, hoping that his 90-year-old father could meet Little, his hero.
When Little obliged, the old man was so emotional he couldn’t speak when Little went to hug him and take a picture together. The man’s son told Little his father was in tears on the ride home.
Little said he’s seen athletes like Reggie Jackson or Bill Russell tell fans to “get the hell out of my way.” He’s seen the pain on the faces of fans who are ignored by their favorite players.
It’s his role to make up for them, he says, and be the guy anyone can approach.
“It helps me know I’m making a difference,” Little said. “Changing lives, for me, is what makes a difference.”
His ability to connect with people is what made Little the choice for Chancellor Kent Syverud to help guide current vice president and chief facilities officer Pete Sala when he was named interim athletic director in March.
Sala said he’d often ask Little to speak to a student-athlete before bringing them to him for a difficult conversation.
Little offers the perspective few others can — he’s been in an SU student-athlete’s shoes, and he’s achieved at the highest level. It gives him instant credibility, Sala said.
When Mark Coyle took over as athletic director in July, one of the first people he met with was Little. The two grabbed a slice of pizza at Varsity and chatted in a booth, sitting a few inches from a portrait of Little that hangs on the wall.
When Coyle first started, people both inside and outside the school were coming at him with requests and ideas.
“What I’ve found to be a great help to me is that (Floyd) has this ability to slow everything down and make it manageable,” Coyle said, “and
then he’s on to the next thing.” Little has had three jobs in his lifetime: a
professional football player, a car dealer and a special assistant to the athletic director at Syracuse University. The last one, his current job, is his favorite.
On Nov. 14, Little will be honored for what led to his first job when his statue is unveiled at Plaza 44 outside the Ensley Athletic Center. Little’s statue will stand next to monuments for Ernie Davis and Jim Brown.
Not only has Little been an athlete, he’s rec-ognized as one of the best.
“No one to learn from better than a Hall of Famer,” said SU commit Moe Neal, who met with Little in September.
And when one recruit after another comes to sit opposite him in his office, Little’s voice, as low and raspy as it is, always commands respect.
When those recruits and their parents listen to Little’s pitch, they stand up and walk out the door. Little hears a conversation as they make their way down the hallway.
“You know where you’re going, don’t you?” he hears the parent tell the kid.
“These are some of the best times of my life,” Little said. “I think I’m using the kids to keep me young.”

Orange manages to win 5-set thriller against Notre DameBy Jack Uptoncontributing writer
Syracuse (12-3, 3-1 Atlantic Coast) won its second five-set match of the season on Sunday against Notre Dame (5-11, 0-4).
Seniors Monika Salkute and Nicolette Serra-tore led the Orange with 19 kills each and Gosia Wlaszczuk tallied a career-high 58 assists as the Orange pushed its road record to 6-1.
The first set captured the tone for the match as neither team could take a lead.
After taking a 14-13 lead on a kill by Salkute, the Orange held the lead until two attack errors by Serratore and Silvi Uattara allowed the Fighting Irish to even the score at 23.
The two teams traded points until the Fighting Irish won the set 28-26 on one of Sydney Kuhn’s 13 kills.
Notre Dame controlled most of the second set as the Orange held the lead only once before tying the score at 19. After subbing in Salkute,
Uattara, Mariia Levanova and Jalissa Trotter, the Orange won six of the next eight points to win 25-21.
Notre Dame started off fast in the third set, taking 10 of the first 15 points and holding the largest lead of the match at seven.
The Orange fought back after two Serratore kills in a row brought the set to a 15-point tie. Later in the third set, the Fighting Irish were one point away from taking a 2-1 lead in sets when Salkute exploded with three kills in four points to tie the set at 25.
The Orange took the next two points and the set on two Notre Dame errors.
The Fighting Irish won the fourth set 25-21, despite Syracuse getting out to an early 9-6 lead.
Notre Dame was able to pull away toward the end of the set with five straight points to go ahead 22-19 before forcing a fifth set.
The Orange was in control of the shorter 15-point set until Notre Dame took its first lead 13-12. However, a Salkute kill tied the game at 13.
After a 226-point match, the Orange came out with a 15-13 win on a kill by Levanova.
After the short road trip, Syracuse will try to stay undefeated at home taking on Pitts-burgh Friday.

A Syracuse recruit sits in a chair in a Manley Field House office. On the walls around him, he
sees a framed No. 44 jersey, a painting
of three Syracuse football legends and a movie poster for “The Express.”
Sitting across a desk from him, five feet away, is Floyd Little.
“Sit back for a minute,” Little tells him, his voice soft and gravelly, a nearly hypnotic whisper. “Just close
your eyes…just close your eyes.”“Where do you want to be in five
years?” he asks.He’s giving them permission to
daydream, something they don’t get a chance to do in class. He starts to notice the student-athlete drift away in thought.
“OK, open your eyes,” Little says. “I’m going to tell you how to get there.”
Little leans over and lets the kid
know he’s just like him. He’s just peo-ple. Nothing special.
But that isn’t exactly true. Little, 73, is in seven halls of fame, was selected to five Pro Bowls, retired from the NFL as the sixth-leading rusher of all-time and is the only Syracuse football player to be named an All-American three times.
“I can’t motivate you,” Little said. “I can only inspire you to moti-
vate yourself.”As the special assistant to the ath-
letic director, some days it’s Little’s job to inspire commits. Others, he might attend a women’s basketball game — a team whose games he refuses to miss.
In 2009, after spending about 30 years as a Ford dealer, Little spoke with then-athletic director Daryl

Cornell stopped Syracuse’s first pen-alty corner. And the second. And the ensuing long hit. Syracuse then drew its third penalty corner in as many minutes, all without the ball leaving the attacking zone.
Off the insertion, about four minutes into the second half, Alma Fenne tapped the ball to Roos Weers on just above the circle. Weers wound up and drove through the ball with her stick low to the ground. It rolled over the wet turf and found the stick of Serra Degnan, who deflected the ball up, past the charg-
ing goalie and into the net, giving Syracuse a 3-1 lead.
The goal was the start of a sec-ond-half onslaught, in which Syr-acuse turned a 2-1 lead into a 9-1 rout. Entering the game, the No. 2 Orange (11-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast) hadn’t scored more than five goals in a game. But Sunday, led by a com-
bined four goals and three assists from Degnan and Weers, SU’s offen-sive outburst sunk the Big Red (5-4, 1-1 Ivy) on Sunday afternoon at J.S. Coyne Stadium.
“We worked on goal-scoring all week,” head coach Ange Bradley said. “Clearly we should’ve been doing it earlier.”
Weers was instrumental in the Orange’s offense as the back repeat-edly advanced the ball and opened passing lanes, Bradley said.
Six minutes after Degnan’s first goal, Syracuse went up a player when Cornell was assessed a green card. About 30 seconds later, Weers played
