As she circled the f loor of Goldstein Auditorium tak-ing selfies, giving hugs and
shaking hands, Oprah Winfrey said she learned one thing about Syra-cuse University.
“Anybody you talk to is just cray-cray about this school.”
Winfrey was one of the special guests in attendance at Monday’s dedication celebration of the Dick Clark Studios and the Alan Gerry Center for Media Innovation — two new facilities at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
The formal program, which also celebrated the 50th anniversary of the dedication of Newhouse I by President Lyndon Johnson, was held at Goldstein Auditorium at Schine Student Center Monday afternoon. It was followed by a rib-bon cutting ceremony outside the Newhouse building where the new
facilities are located.The luncheon took place on the
main floor of Goldstein and includ-ed faculty, staff and special guests such as the families of Clark and Gerry, as well as members of the Newhouse family. Video tributes were shown to honor Clark and

The number of disciplinary refer-rals for liquor law violations at Syr-
acuse University from 2012 to 2013 went up by 259, an increase of about 25 percent, according to the uni-versity’s recently released annual security report.
These violations increased from
1,044 to 1,303, according to the 79-page report. Judicial referrals for drug violations also grew from 162 to 273 — an approximately 68.5 per-cent increase. The report is mandated by the Clery Act, a landmark law that
requires colleges that receive federal money to disclose crime statistics as well as develop and disclose security procedures.
Pam Peter, director of SU’s Office for Student Rights and Responsibili-
ties, said the increase in alcohol-related referrals could be related to growth in enrollment, as well as the number of times “medical intervention” was needed for students drinking. In Fall

SU revises Posse changesBy Brett Samuelsasst. news editor
Syracuse University has revised its changes to the Posse program and will now support a Posse in Atlanta next year in addition to a long-term Posse program in Miami, the university announced Monday afternoon.
Earlier this month, SU notified current Posse scholars that it would discontinue its Posse pro-grams in Atlanta and Los Angeles and would only keep the Miami program. After a protest was held on campus, administrators announced last week that they were reconsidering the changes. Posse Scholars are recruited from cities around the country and receive full tuition scholarships at four-year universities.
Maurice Harris, dean of under-graduate admissions, Andria Cos-tello Staniec, associate provost for academic programs, and Ryan Williams, associate vice presi-dent for enrollment management and director of scholarships and student aid, announced the most recent changes in a message sent on Monday to Posse Program par-ticipants.
“The changes were intended to ensure that all of our recruit-ment, financial aid and support programs that enhance our diver-sity along multiple dimensions are strong and sustainable over the long term,” the message said.

In New Zealand, Cade Halkyard gained a new perspective on the world.
And he’s got a tattoo — a topo-graphic map of Rarotoka, an island in New Zealand — to show it.
The tattoo is his reminder to take a step back from the materialistic culture of the United States and to appreciate the earth and all it has to offer, he said.
”That was the first step into adult-hood for me,” Halkyard said. “I had never really been anywhere before. I had feelings that I wanted to remem-ber this trip somehow.”
Halkyard, a senior photography major, spent two and a half months in New Zealand during his senior year of high school. Every two days he traveled to a different place, learning about the culture of the native people as well as doing community service.
The last week of the trip, he said, was the most special to him.
Halkyard and his traveling com-panions took a helicopter to an island named Rarotoka, owned by a man
named Stewart. The island had no elec-tricity, and they had limited food. It was their job to get rid of the spiny, non-na-tive and invasive shrub called gorse.
”We had these huge gloves on,” Halkyard said, laughing. “We were all kind of going through the same pain, so we were all happy.”
Halkyard recalls one morning when he woke up at 4:30 a.m., long before any-one else was up. He grabbed his camera and trekked out to the lighthouse.
“It was very liberating to look out into the ocean and to look across towards the United States and every-where,” Halkyard said. “I felt the most alive I’ve ever felt in my life.”
Out of respect for the Moko cul-ture, in which it is a coming of man-hood event to get a tattoo, Halkyard decided to wait to get his tattoo of the island Rarotoka until he got home.
Stewart gave him permission to get the tattoo back home. He ripped the page with the drawing of the map out of his journal and gave it to Halkyard.
“It was kind of him passing his cul-ture onto me in a way,” Halkyard said.

Panelists discuss innovation, future of media

Media experts reflect on Dick Clark’s legacy
By Danny Mantoothcontributing writer
Despite all the changes to digital media, students should not be anx-ious about the constant innovation.
“Be uncomfortably excited about the disruption you can bring,” said Kristina Hahn, head of consumer packaged goods at Google.
Hahn spoke as part of a “Future of Digital Media” symposium held in Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium on Monday morning. The symposium was part of a day of events cele-brating the dedication of the New-
house studios. Dan Pacheco, the Peter A. Horvitz Endowed Chair in Journalism Innovation, moderated a panel of four members of the mul-timedia industry.
The theme of the event was “innovation never stops,” Pacheco said after he introduced the mem-bers of the panel.
The panelists included Hahn, Mitch Gelman, vice president of product at Gannett Digital, Larry Hryb, Xbox Live director of pro-gramming and Ed Wise, senior vice president of entertainment at Turner Digital. During the
symposium they discussed their respective fields and how they, as well as all media professionals, will confront the digitization of media.
Hahn shared Google’s theory of connecting with its audiences. “Answer, converse, anticipate,” are the three verbs that Google lives by, she said. Hahn added that she believes these principles are a guiding force even in the uncertain future of digital media.
Wise presented next, focusing on branded content. He shared multi-ple videos, all seemingly advertising one product while incorporating
another that benefitted just as much from the exposure.
“The authenticity of branded content is key,” he said, a statement that was repeated by the other three panelists throughout the event.
Wise recounted a quote he heard from documentarian Morgan Spur-lock, which said “if you can make them laugh, you can make them lis-ten.” Wise used the quote to refer to the position of Funny or Die in Turner’s media conglomerate.
Hryb and Gelman both dis-cussed the importance of the

Whether it was hosting “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” or “American Bandstand,” Dick Clark had a legacy of bringing people together— cementing himself as a cultural icon.
“He was culturally significant. If people were stuck at home (on New Year’s Eve) and they needed a party
— Dick was that party,” said Eric Deg-gans, National Public Radio TV critic.
Deggans spoke as part of a panel on Clark’s career and legacy titled “Dick Clark: A discussion about a great American Broadcaster.” The panel was held on Monday after-noon in the Joyce Hergenhan Audi-torium in Newhouse III as part of a day of events celebrating the dedica-tion of the Newhouse studios.
The Keri and Dick Clark Foun-dation donated $5 million to the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications for a new, state-of-the-art facility. The new space will allow students to get a more hands-on experience using modern technology so that they are more prepared for when they entire their perspective work fields.
“We spend all day hearing Dick
Clark this and Dick Clark that, but it is important to reflect who this guy actually was,” said Robert Thomp-son, the moderator for the event and trustee professor for television and popular culture.
The panelists to discuss Clark’s career and significance included Deggans, Mary Ann Watson, pro-fessor of electronic media and film

Assembly listens to reportsBy Alexa Torrensstaff writer
Student Association President Boris Gresely caught the attention of assembly members when he called Syracuse University students “shareholders” in the institution.
“We have a very important role in this university and our voices should be heard,” Gresely said.
Student inclusion and input for potential change at SU has been a popular topic of discussion at SA meetings and a major goal of Chan-cellor Kent Syverud’s Fast Forward Syracuse strategic plan. The plan encompasses changes to the uni-versity’s academics, efficiency and infrastructure.
At SA’s meeting on Monday eve-ning in Maxwell Auditorium, assem-bly members also heard reports about SA’s involvement with Fast Forward Syracuse, upcoming cam-pus events and the work of the SU/SUNY-ESF chapter of the New York Public Interest Research Group.
SA representative Paulina Colon and Gresely recently had a meeting with the Undergraduate Excellence Working Group, which is one of nine steering committees working to

NINA RODGERSA CHAIN REACTIONThe Syracuse University and SUNY-ESF
communities came together last week to raise money for Habitat for Human-
ity and bring awareness about homelessness and affordable housing. But while events like Shack-A-Thon accomplish great work and raise money, but more services should be provided by universities to assist students that struggle to keep a roof over their heads.
Homeless college students are a popula-tion that some Americans assume don’t exist, or believe homelessness amongst college students could not possibly be a problem. Although hard data for this crisis is limited, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid estimated in 2013 that there were 58,000 homeless students on campuses across the nation.
Relating to homelessness, not being able to
afford food is another crisis facing students on America’s college campuses. According to Feeding America — the country’s largest emergency food assistance network — one in 10 of its 46.5 million clients are students. Food stamps are a common way that many college students attempt to combat lack of income for food, but many eateries on and around college campuses do not accept food stamps as a form of payment.
Specifically here at SU, Hendricks Chapel has seemed to address and fight student hunger on campus with its food pantry ser-vices. Located on the first floor of the chapel,
many students in need of assistance have taken advantage of the services offered by the chapel.
But student homelessness and unafford-able campus housing are areas that have yet to be addressed on SU’s campus, as well as other universities’ campuses. Although financial aid and scholarship services exist to aid students with tuition, they do not always offset the costs of basic necessities that every student needs. More attention and research should be put into this unrecognized portion of the population to better provide services for their needs.
SU should look to other colleges that have successfully addressed this issue, such as Kennesaw State University in Georgia. According to the school’s website, the Cam-pus Awareness, Resource and Empowerment
Center was created to help homeless students and/or students that are at risk for becoming homeless. The C.A.R.E. Center at Kennesaw is designed to address the physiological, safe-ty and daily needs of homeless students and provide resources for them on and off cam-pus. A model similar to that of the C.A.R.E Center at Kennesaw should be something adopted by other universities, including SU.
Shack-A-Thon is a successful event for Habitat for Humanity in the Syracuse com-munity, but the idea of raising awareness for homelessness in Syracuse, especially amongst students, can be expanded into even more tangible and impactful services for those who need them most.

Alumni responds to SU’s No. 1 party school ranking
A resounding “AYE” from an overwhelming majority of the Syracuse University faculty on April 16 confirmed that they supported a resolution for fossil fuel divestment. We collapsed in relief, embracing each other with smiles on our faces.
We are members of Divest SU, dedicated to encouraging SU to withdraw its investments from the top 200 fossil fuel companies. This is part of a national campaign, the largest to
fight climate change in U.S. history, with over 300 colleges and universities involved. It is about resetting priorities: the earth and its people first over profit.
The University Senate decision to support divestment from fossil fuels follows Syracuse University’s Student Association, which passed a similar resolution on April 29, 2013.
With the Student Association and Univer-sity Senate giving nearly unanimous support
for resolutions to divest from fossil fuels, the democratic representatives of the university have spoken. Unfortunately, when SU admin-istration was presented with our formal request for divestment in March of 2014, we were not met with the same level of democra-cy and transparency that we expected.
Without asking members of Divest SU to participate in the meeting, nine members on the Socially Responsible Investment Matters Committee declined the opportunity to divest in a letter sent to Divest SU on June 16. This letter stated that “the Committee concluded that the direct divestment of fossil fuel companies from the University’s endow-ment is not practical or fiscally-prudent.”
Meanwhile, universities and institutions around the country are finding ways to be both fiscally and environmentally responsi-ble. Thirteen colleges and universities have pledged to start divesting, as well as 28 cities, 28 foundations and 42 religious institutions. Perhaps the committee could consult with
some of these other institutions to learn how it can be done. Stanford University, for example, has committed to divest its over 18 billion dollar endowment from the coal industry. By comparison, Syracuse University has a one bil-lion dollar endowment, with as much as $100 million invested in the fossil fuel industry.
Global warming is not an investment. And we deserve a university that cares for the democratic decisions made by its representa-tive bodies. We ask for a university that leads the way on the crucial issues of our time.
Come join members of Divest SU on Tues-day at 3 p.m. on the quad for a rally for a fossil free SU. Together, we will demand more from our university.

I can’t think of another prestigious academic institution that’s routinely criticized as much as is our envied alma mater. Historically, much of the criticism has come from defen-sive Ivy Leaguers who’ve taken exception to the old time-tested saying, “Syracuse Univer-sity is almost Ivy League.” Of course, our school would’ve been included among the Ivies had Ezra Cornell built his school on our hill, but all other things being equal, I prefer the name “Syracuse” to “Cor-nell” anyway.
Now we’re informed in 2014 that Syracuse
has been labeled the nation’s No. 1 party school. After all the other insults though, the only surprise about this one is that it took so long to appear. But the facts remain in our favor. Students at Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Dartmouth revel as much, if not more, than those at Syracuse, and the accomplish-ments of Syracuse alumni continually rival the very best of the Ivy League. As another saying goes, “Rich kids go to the Ivy League, smart kids go to Syracuse.”

Tuesday’s Divest SU and ESF pro-test calls for Syracuse University to stop investing in fossil fuels, or divest. It’s good that students continue to voice their opinions on issues they care about. But those participating in the protest should realize that the decision for SU to divest is likely multi-faceted, and it could take some time before the university is able to withdraw its investment in fossil fuels. Students should recognize the ways SU is turning into a greener campus, as well as encourage more incremen-tal changes.
According to Divest SU and ESF, the SU administration was presented with a formal request for divestment in March 2014. Other universities and institutions have managed to divest in fossil fuel industries. But the university denied the request in June, saying
“the Committee concluded that the direct divestment of fossil fuel companies from the University’s endowment is not practical or fis-cally-prudent.”
Students don’t know where university money goes to or what it is needed for and simply are not well-informed enough on SU’s bud-get to demand divestment. Because of this, protesting for an immediate change is not practical. Protesting to bring attention to a problem is more realistic than rallying for a change involving the university’s budget.
Though it was not fiscally-pru-dent for the university to divest in fossil fuels, SU recently made steps to be greener. On Sept. 19, SU announced that it purchased 123 million kilowatt hours for the years of 2014-16 from the clean-energy firm Renewable Choice Energy, a company with heavy involvement
in the windmill energy industry. This increased SU’s investment in clean energy from 20 percent to 35 percent. And in 2009, SU signed the American College and Univer-sity Presidents’ Climate Commit-ment, an effort undertaken by a network of college and universities to address climate disruption, to be carbon neutral by 2040.
Students who urge the univer-sity that it must divest in order to be called environmentally friendly should consider the steps SU has already taken, and the progress it has made so far.
Change, especially change pertaining to the university’s budget, does not happen overnight. Students should continue voicing their opinions on this issue, but should not expect the university to be able to make this decision instantaneously.
editorial board
Divest SU protest can’t force change
In her speech to the United Nations last week, actress and U.N. Women Goodwill Ambas-
sador Emma Watson extended an invitation to all men, asking them to actively join in on the gender equali-ty conversation.
Watson expressed in her speech that feminism is all too often miscon-strued as man hating. She argued for an all-encompassing title for gender equality so men can feel welcomed to join the movement. But, title changed or not, women must recognize that men are discriminated against in order for both sexes to join the fight.
The HeForShe website explains that the organization wants a “soli-darity movement for gender equality,” showing images of world leaders like President Barack Obama and celebri-ties like Matt Damon speaking on the topic of feminism. But when clicking
to take action the website says, “I commit to take action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls.”
Only including one gender in this agreement is blatantly ignoring exactly what the problem is, which is discrim-ination and violence. In her speech, Watson asked, “How can we affect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation?” Watson formally invited men to participate in the con-versation, but the campaign she stands behind excludes them from speaking up on their own discrimination.
Men are discriminated specifically when it comes to fatherhood. Paternal
leave is laughed at and marginalized and the media still portrays fathers as lost, clueless, big kids.
If a father chooses to stay at home, he is generally considered lazy and unable to find a job. In cartoons like “Family Guy” and “The Simpsons”, in which characters Peter Griffin and Homer Simpson are seen as fumbling fathers who have barely matured past their children, there are unfair stereo-types that belittle fathers.
In March of 2012, Huggies diapers failed miserably with an advertise-ment showing diapers were ‘dad proof.’ Fathers signed a petition and adweek.com deplored the brand for poor wording, creating enough buzz for Huggies to pull its ads and rework the campaign.
Sticking to these gender-based stereotypes hurts men and women. While women are often
portrayed as housewives, men are often seen as workaholic, clueless fathers. With these stereotypes, no one is winning.
Until women recognize that men are discriminated against too, gender equality cannot be fought from both sides. With men’s discrimination being fought, women’s discrimination will also improve, as they are connected.
When men can stay home with the kids more often without judg-ment, women can stay at work longer too. This equilibrium is important for children.
When children see both parents equally, they will view parenthood as a partnership and it can shape how the future generations see — or better yet don’t see — gender roles.
Watson and HeForShe have the right ideas in place, but must work harder to include men in the conver-
sation. Talking at men and only telling them to listen puts this movement in a stalemate. HeForShe must allow men to openly participate and speak up for discrimination that men feel on a daily basis. The campaign allows men to speak up for the women in their lives, which is notable, but who is there to speak up for the men?
Encouraging men to stand up and fight for women is vital, but women must also recognize we cannot allow our brothers, fathers and husbands to be discriminated against. This fight is two-sided. Women must fight for men just as women expect men to fight for women.

In addition to maintaining a Miami-based Posse Program serving 10 students, the uni-versity will also support 10 students in an Atlanta-based Posse Program for one more year. Outside of the changes to the Posse pro-gram, SU will also “pursue a new recruitment, support and retention program” for student veterans, according to the message.
Harris said in an email that the university has strong ties to the Los Angeles area, and said SU’s presence in Atlanta is also signifi-cant. That presence isn’t as strong in Miami, he said.
“While an important market for us, our insti-tutional presence in the Miami market is not as significant as in Atlanta or Los Angeles, and our partnership with the Posse Program enables us to enhance our presence,” Harris said.
Staniec said in an email that the university had planned and budgeted for two Posse ini-
tiatives in 2015 — one with a city and one with veterans — but the Posse Foundation indicated they were unable to provide SU with a veterans Posse. As a result, Staniec said SU reassessed adding a second city and decided on Atlanta.
SU will not host a new Posse from Los Ange-les in 2015, but it has other resources there to recruit students, Staniec said.
“Our infrastructure, including facilities and admissions personnel, is greater in Los Angeles and our commitment there is high so we focused our Posse efforts on Atlanta and Miami,” she said.
Harris added that Southern California rep-resents the third largest pool of applications and enrolled students at SU.
Rather than partner with an organization other than Posse in Atlanta and Los Angeles over the long term, SU will focus on enhancing its recruiting efforts “for a highly inclusive student cohort from both regions,” according to the message sent to Posse participants.

posse2013 alone, she said, there were 156 students who needed medical help — more than all of 2012.
The reasons why more students are ending up in the hospital when they’re drinking, or that an ambulance has to be called, are not completely clear, she said. Typically, a stranger, someone from the Office of Resi-dence Life or a Department of Public Safety officer is calling for help, not students for their friends.
“I have no idea,” Peter said. “I don’t know why there’s such an increase in those num-bers,” she added.
This semester, there have been about 75–80 times when medical help was needed, she said. That’s about on pace with last year. Peter said conversations with students have suggested they believe drinking is a way to meet other people and be comfortable.
Along with the number of judicial refer-rals, the report also lists the number of crimes that happened on-campus and prop-erties owned by SU, as well as on nearby streets and sidewalks.
Most crimes that happen at SU are those of “opportunity,” said Nikki Cooter, manager of administration and Clery compliance at DPS. That includes, for example, leaving items out in plain sight and having them stolen.
Here are some of the other numbers for 2013:
—Criminal homicide: zero—Robbery: five—Aggravated assault: one—Burglary: 28—Motor vehicle theft: one—Arson: zeroBecause of changes with federal law,
colleges were also mandated to report sex crimes in a more detailed way than in the past. Changes also require colleges to report three additional crimes: dating violence,
domestic violence and stalking.For these crimes, the report shows:—Rape: one—Sodomy: one—Sexual assault with an object: three—Fondling: four—Statutory rape: zero—Incest: zero—Dating violence: four—Domestic violence: zero—Stalking: sixAbigail Boyer, the assistant executive
director of programs for the Clery Center for Security On Campus, a national organi-zation that advocates for campus safety, said one of the benefits of the report to students is all the resources for campus security it provides. In SU’s report, the first 39 pages include information about the Blue Light system, safety escorts and shuttles, emer-gency alerts and resources for sexual assault survivors.
“We almost refer to the annual report as the Cliff Notes of campus security,” Boyer said.
She added that the statistics listed on the annual report may not always mean there’s more crime.
“Higher statistics could sometimes ref lect that the institution is proactively talking about these issues and that stu-dents are comfortable coming forward and reporting because they’re confident in the response they’re going to receive,” Boyer said.
The statistics included in the annual report do not include crimes that happen a few blocks off-campus. For those crimes, DPS notifies students through email.
Students can find the report on DPS’s website at: http://publicsafety.syr.edu/PublicSafety/ckfinder/userfiles/files/annu-al-security-report.pdf

Gresely also discussed the Student Affairs Summit, which will unite student leaders from different organizations in one place next semester. Gresely called the summit members

Clark’s career spanned decades and included hostinClark’s career spanned decades and included hosting the game show “Pyramid” and the annual “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” for 40 years. Clark rose to fame when he hosted “American Bandstand,” a music-perfor-mance show in which teenagers would dance
as various artists performed. He was a pillar for American broadcasting, Thompson said.
Clark made an incredible impact in the young popular culture of the early 1950s, Zurawik said. Clark was able to commodify the teen audience, he added.
Zurawik said that Clark had a personality that jumped off the screen and made television seem like a cool place to be for teens in the ‘50s.
“Part of the genius of the show was its ability to give clues on what to do and how to date,” he said. “He tapped into the power of the televi-sion’s ability to teach.”

When Michael Longacre transferred to SUNY-ESF last semester, he had one goal in mind: start a bass fishing team.
Longacre, a junior aquatic and fisheries sci-ence major, has been fishing his entire life. His dad is a fisherman, so it’s something Longacre grew up with. In high school, he began compet-itive bass fishing. He wanted to continue with his lifelong hobby while at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry and felt others would be inter-ested in joining the team.
“The general curriculum and majors they have here are outdoor-based,” Longacre said. “Most people here participate in outdoor rec-reation — fishing, hunting, camping, hiking — I knew with all the people and all the interest in outdoor sports, there was definitely going to be fisherman that would want to get involved.”
On his first day on campus, Longacre approached the Office of Student Life with his idea. He was then redirected to the college’s Athletic Department, where he met with Daniel
Ramin, the coordinator of athletics at the college. Ramin said he felt the team would be a great
fit for ESF and gave Longacre his support.
“Being the school we are, everything is very outdoors-oriented, including the activities which our students do,” Ramin said. “Things that are steered to the environment are a good fit, in that way. We knew that there would be a lot of interest in the team.”
The team and the college also share similar environmental goals, Ramin said.
“That’s part of being a fisherman,” Ramin said. “It’s not just catching the fish, it’s under-standing the ecosystem.”
In two tournaments — one in May and the
other in July — the team qualified for an invi-tational on Oct. 11 on the Potomac River. If it places in the Top 10 at the invitational, the team will have the opportunity to partici-pate in the Fishing League Worldwide College Fishing National Tournament, which will be held on April 16–18 on Lake Murray outside of Columbia, South Carolina.
It’s something Ramin said the team is very proud of.
“It’s an unbelievable accomplishment for a first year program,” Ramin said. “We love that our students will be able to experience something like that and that’s another piece of great exposure for the school.”
Spencer Eich, a senior environmental sci-ence major and an officer of the club, didn’t have much experience with bass fishing. But being part of the club and getting to know Lon-gacre has taught Eich more than he thought he would’ve learned in such a short amount of time.
For Eich, the club combines his academic and extracurricular interests.
“I feel really passionate about wildlife and nature in general and how those ecosystems
work together,” Eich said. “You can put a com-petitive aspect into that, and study ecosystems and wildlife in their natural habitats while competing with our fellow colleagues. It’s a unique sport.”
Eich said he believes the team is popular among SUNY-ESF students because of how unique the sport is and how cohesively it melds with the practices of the college.
“We practice and preach conservation,” he said. “All the fish we catch, we release them. I feel like conservation and respecting wildlife is a pretty big thing at ESF, which is why people are really interested in the team.”
The team started off slowly — just a small group of students committed to fishing — but has grown significantly since its beginning.
At this year’s activities fair, about 60 stu-dents signed up for the club — more than double the previous semester’s membership.
“Campus reaction has been great, more than I ever expected,” Longacre said. “I thought I was going to start a team and no one was going to care about it, we’d slip under the radar, but people really think it’s cool.”

Gerry’s work and legacy in the field of jour-nalism.
Students who had tickets to the event were seated on the balcony overlooking the main floor and center stage. Every mention of Win-frey’s name, as well as a simple wave or gesture from her, resulted in cheers from the crowd as well as the occasional, “I love you, Oprah.”
During her speech, Winfrey thanked the Newhouse, Clark and Gerry families for doing a “glorious” thing with their time and money, and having put it toward their commitment to journalism and media for the past 50 years.
“I believe that what you all have done is what we’re meant to do as human beings,” Winfrey said. “We’re meant to take our lives, do the best we can to be excellent in our lives and use what we’ve been given to impact others.”
Winfrey took the time to share stories about her journalistic career, sharing that when she was 19, she received a phone call from CBS asking her if she wanted a job. She
attributed that to luck, but added that there is no luck without preparation.
Winfrey also addressed the students pres-ent, telling them to take advantage of being in an environment where they can craft and hone their skills, define what they want to do and determine how they’re going to use their knowledge in the real world.
“The most important thing, I feel, is being able to operate from the interior of your soul, and allow the passion of your heart to lead you
to do the good and great work,” she said. Senior broadcast and digital journalism
major Ali Bauman, who spoke on behalf of Newhouse students, introduced Chancellor Kent Syverud. He gave his remarks and in turn introduced professors Mike Schoonmaker and Dan Pacheco, who spoke on behalf of the Newhouse faculty.
Before introducing Winfrey, Newhouse Dean Lorraine Branham thanked those who made the new facilities possible, as well as recalled the ded-ication of the Newhouse I building 50 years ago.
“That occasion marked the beginning of the university’s relationship with the New-house family,” Branham said, “and perhaps not coincidentally, the beginning of the school’s transformation into the top commu-nications school that it is today.”
At the conclusion of the luncheon, Win-frey was escorted out of the building where a car drove her from Schine to the Newhouse facilities for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. As Winfrey entered her car, she was surrounded by students with cell phones hoping for a quick picture, while police tried to control the crowd.
Those who weren’t able to watch her speak inside the Goldstein Auditorium joined those who did and flocked to the intersection of Waverly Ave-nue and University Avenue. Some made their way up to the top of the Sheraton Hotel parking garage across the street for a better view.
A stage was set up for the ribbon-cutting ceremony just outside of the Newhouse building where the Dick Clark Studios and Alan Gerry Center for Media Innovation are located.
Branham, Sy verud and Winfrey spoke again at the ribbon cutting event, and Kari Clark, Dick Clark’s wife, and Donald New-house, son of S.I. Newhouse, also gave short speeches. Clark talked about her husband, and Newhouse talked about his father, but both of them expressed pride at their associa-tion with the Newhouse school.
All eyes were on the stage as Winfrey and others prepared to cut the large orange ribbon.
“Energy for energy, excellence to excellence,” Winfrey said before cutting the ribbon. “Let the new generation of innovation come forth.
“One, two, three, cut.”[email protected]
audience controlling the narrative.Gelman worked with The Des Moines Reg-
ister on a groundbreaking project that took viewers to a farm in southwestern Iowa. The team used Oculus Rift technology to produce a 360-degree virtual reality view of a sixth gener-ation family farm to tell its story.
Hryb described the gaming industry’s expo-nential rise, focusing on the audience’s role
in creating and controlling the narrative. He observed that the experience was no longer sitting with a controller and headset, but using technology such as Xbox Kinect as a way to experience media.
The audience at the Herg Monday was com-prised of both students and guests for the dedi-cation ceremony that was set to take place later in the day.
Brendan Germain, a sophomore television, radio and film major, said the panel was a good fit for the unveiling of the new studios.
“I think this definitely has more prevalence in the building of these new studios, and also where Newhouse is going as well,” he said. “I was more interested in coming to this to see what some industry professionals are thinking about where media journalism is going.”
The four speakers were asked about bold predictions in the next 10 years relating to the massive convergence occurring in media today.
Wise said, “Facebook’s not going anywhere.” Gelman said, “innovative ideas (like the ones
presented) will become mainstream.”
Hryb predicted a “merging of video games” with the innovative technology and ideas dis-cussed at the symposium.
Hahn ended the predictions by saying, “in the next five years, 75 percent of advertisements will be user choice or skipped.”
But the key to any media success, as Gelman said, is to learn about new audiences.
“Understand and respect audience,” he said. “New media connects with new audi-ences.”

Three years ago, Hana Fagut wanted a dish from Pasta-bilities for dinner. Her only
problem as a freshman at Syracuse University — she didn’t want to
leave her dor m to drive to the r e s t a u r a n t in downtown S y r a c u s e , a nd she didn’t want to take the bus for 45
minutes, either.“I was like, ‘I want Pastablities.’ But
I didn’t want to go downtown, possibly get a ticket and wait for my food,” said Fagut, a senior neuroscience major. “It seemed like such a hassle. So, no one has opened a delivery service, and I was like, ‘I might as well.’”
Years later, Fagut’s late-night idea is coming to life. During the first week of October, CNYFoodToGo will launch in the SU community, catering to SU stu-dents, faculty and residents on the Hill.
CNYFoodToGo provides consum-ers with an online platform to order food from more than 60 restaurants
in downtown Syracuse and Armory Square. Consumers create an online account, select which restaurant they want to order from, pick their dish and check out using their credit card. Restaurants such as Pastabil-ities, LoFo and Lemon Grass have already agreed to work with Fagut, and Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is current-ly in talks to work with the company.
“We only focus on local business. We only do point-to-point transpor-tation of the food, just to ensure it gets to the consumer hot,” Fagut said. “We have a 45-minute turn-around time. It’ll always be deliv-ered in 45 minutes or less.”
Consumers will have the option to order until 3 a.m., Fagut said. In her original plans, Fagut did not want to provide late-night ordering, but changed her mind due to the latest statistics released on Aug.19 by GrubHub, stating that SU is the top school for late-night orders.
SU students and residents of the Hill regularly use GrubHub, anoth-er online food ordering company. The company allows consumers to order their food online from var-ious restaurants around Syracuse, but Miriam Rossi, a senior child and family studies major, said using GrubHub is very repetitive. Rossi,
Fagut’s roommate, said she is most excited to try Lemon Grass, even though the company will put a dent in her bank account.
“I think this is a really awesome way to support local businesses that GrubHub doesn’t take part in, and also an awesome way for students to expand what they’re eating and eat stuff that’s downtown that they may not have access to,” Rossi said.
With a set delivery fee of $5, no minimum ordering price and range of restaurants to choose from, Fagut added that GrubHub is no competi-
tion for CNYFoodToGo.“Every place that we have is not on
GrubHub,” Fagut said. “We’re giving students a whole new market to choose from. GrubHub is basically pizza and Chinese food. We’re giving them the option of high-end food delivery.”
The Couri Hatchery in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management at SU played a key role in helping kick-start CNYFoodToGo. The Couri Haterchy is a student-centered business incubator that encourages and aids student start-ups to the point that they can function on their own. Fagut said the Hatchery was a main resource for her, and con-nected her with people to talk to in order to get her business truly up and running.
Terry Brown, the executive director of the Falcone Center for Entrepreneur-ship in Whitman, directed Fagut and helped her reach her goals along the way.
“What I liked about Hana’s idea is that hers was, ‘I’m going to make it easy to get food into your home or your dorm,’” Brown said. “With her business model that she set up, I said I’d become a member in a minute.”
Brown said that Fagut took advantage of the Hatchery resourc-es, including the attorney, human resources and advertising mentors. Those experts gave Fagut advice on how to excel in her weaker areas, and also gave her names of people to reach out to who may invest in her company. Brown added that without her perseverance, Fagut wouldn’t be where she is today — about to official-ly launch her company next week.

Syracuse University students are coming up with a new way to pro-mote diversity on campus by bring-ing the world’s largest Asian-Amer-ican interest fraternity to campus.
Working to enhance the voices of Asian-American students on campus, Lambda Phi Epsilon hopes to establish its inaugural chapter class at SU by the end of this academic year.
Alvin Phun, a member of the Lambda Phi Epsilon Northeast Expansion team, said that the cre-ation of an SU chapter would bene-fit both the national organization and the SU campus.
“We hope that the men attending the university will not only expe-rience our benefits, but will also elevate our organization as well,” Phun said in an email. “We are con-fident that the values at Syracuse University are a great fit with our own, and hope to contribute to the community as much as possible.”
This past weekend the frater-nity hosted its first general inter-est meeting for potential found-ing fathers.
John Huang, a junior mechan-ical engineering major, said he is interested in joining Lambda Phi Epsilon because of the pro-fessional network and career opportunities the fraternity will provide to its members.
“What appeals to me the most is the focus on empowering Asian students to become leaders with-in our community,” Huang said.
According to the organization’s website, the main goals of the frater-nity are to offer members training in leadership, encourage academic excellence and instill values such as positivity and professionalism.
In the spring of this past year, Bryan Dosono, a graduate student in the School of Information Studies, pitched the idea to the Multicultural Greek Council, since he was a mem-ber of Lambda Phi Epsilon during

“She really had a passion for building a busi-ness in a local community and creating local jobs, so that’s admirable,” Brown said. “She’s persistent. She worked very hard for it.”
With friends, faculty and business partners
behind her, Fagut is excited to start advertising her company. She said CNYFoodToGo will have launch parties on the SU Quad to show students how to use the website, as well as sending out emails to students to show off the company.
“I’m so excited for the launch and to have all this generated revenue,” Fagut said. “It’s going to be ‘bam!’ Look at us go.”

his undergraduate years at University of Wash-ington in Seattle. The council gave its approval for the group to establish itself on campus.
The fraternity is currently in the process of forming a student interest group. After forming a solid group of dedicated students, the fraternity will be able to start organizing, collaborating and contributing within the Greek community at SU.
Dosono is now a founding father and driving force in the fraternity’s establishment on cam-pus. He said Lambda Phi Epsilon will provide a safe community for Asian-American men to grow as well-rounded individuals on SU’s campus.
“One of the great things about being a founding father is having the opportunity to shape the culture of your organization and really making an impact on campus,” Dosono said. “I would love to see more advocacy occur in the multicultural community here and I think Lambda Phi Epsilon can really enhance and augment that experience and be that voice for Asian-Americans of all ethnicities.”
Prior to the approval of Lambda Phi Epsi-lon, the only Asian-American fraternity on
campus was Nu Alpha Phi, an organization that currently has eight chapters in the east-ern United States and also promotes personal growth amongst members.
But Dosono believes that as Asian-American and Greek communities continue to grow at SU, there has been a growing interest to start another Asian-American interest fraternity on campus.
“Because the Asian-American community is growing with admissions, there has just been more of a need to see more diversity within the Asian-American Greek community,” Dosono said.
Hugh Yang, a junior systems and informa-tion science major and a founding father of the chapter, said a main goal of the fraternity is to work closely with fellow multicultural and Asian-interest organizations on campus. The organizations also want to shed light on issues that are important to Asian-American students and generate a conversation to address them.
“As students of Syracuse, it is great that we stick to our culture and those who share the same background, but we all have a common denominator as students of SU,” Yang said. “No matter which organization you are in, we should be able to come together and work as one to establish a better campus.”

Merritt Harris is a juggler.
In addition to being a husband and a father of two, he is a full-time
student at Empire State College and has a full-time job at Hillside Children’s Center. But with all of this, he still manages to fit music into his busy schedule.
Harris, 25, formed the collaborative indie folk rock band Mountains & Valleys two years ago as a creative outlet for his music.
Instead of having a set lineup, Mountains & Valleys is a collaborative project headed by Harris. Ten people, including Harris, worked on the group’s upcoming album, “Mountains & Valleys.” The group’s next performance is on Friday, at the Bull & Bear Pub in Syracuse, where the group will be opening for the Zak Smith band.
Every time the group plays, its lineup grows or rotates, and the “collective” is always look-ing for new musicians to join — particularly orchestral instrumentalists. Harris said his favorite thing about the band is the collabora-tive aspect.
“In music, you want others to come in to what you’re doing and you want them to do better than they did last time,” Harris said.
Harris recorded the album in his “basic” home studio over the past year when he wasn’t busy studying or working.
Harris wrote and recorded most of the lay-ers in his songs with the exception of the orchestral arrangements. His longtime friend Rachel Leigh provided violin to the album. Leigh has collaborated with Harris on and off since high school, and said Harris’ positivity made the recording process pleasant.
“I had never written or arranged parts for someone else like this,” Leigh said. “It was a very real musical challenge, and (Harris’) enthusiastic responses to the parts I sent him gave me a lot of confidence.”
“Mountains & Valleys” incorporates sev-eral eclectic instruments into the record, including horns, a glockenspiel and a wind-powered organ.
Local Syracuse English teacher Steven Car-bone collaborated with Harris and provided flugelhorn and trumpet parts to the album. Carbone said Harris’ lyrics make “Mountains & Valleys” relatable and accessible.
“There’s a little something there for every-one, especially when it comes to the concepts of the lyrics,” Carbone said. “As I recorded this record, I really started to develop a respect for Merritt’s songwriting, but also his lyric writing, because the songs deal with topics that are all about being a human and what it takes to live life.”
Harris said inspiration for his songs root from his personal life experiences, but what makes his music most interesting to him is how it connects to people.
“What I’m most interested in about music and about Mountains & Valleys is that it pro-vides space to meet people and to have rela-tionships with people,” Harris said.
Harris’ emphasis on connecting the com-munity through music has inspired him to host Third Space, a series of concerts in his living room. After moving to Syracuse, Harris noticed a lack of venues that provide a space for folk and acoustic-focused music and decided to create a comfortable space for local artists to perform.
Harris felt that a small, intimate setting like a living room would both facilitate conversa-tion and form a community around music.
“I was really wanting to create a venue for people to feel comfortable to perform and share their music,” Harris said. “I think there’s going to be a shift within music, and that music isn’t going to be a huge production on stage, but is going to be more about sharing it and experiencing it together.”
Mountain & Valleys does not perform at Third Space, as Harris created both separately.
He does, however, like to promote local musi-cians and sees it as an important part of his musical exploits.
The group’s album is scheduled to release in October, although a set date has yet to be established. Upon the album’s release, Harris plans to circulate the album by sending it to music magazines and indie blogs for feedback.
As the album comes closer to completion,
Harris hopes to continue working towards creating a sense of community through music in Syracuse.
“I hope that this music creates a space for conversations, for interactions, for people to sit together and tell stories,” Harris said. “That’s kind of really my big aspiration for what the record can do on a social level.”

we’d be lying. We obviously care about the rank-ings,” Syracuse midfielder Oyvind Alseth said. “No. 5 is big for the players and the program.”
The highest ranking in program history, according to SU Athletics, was in 1984 when the Orange was No. 6 in the nation. The weekly NSCAA rankings have only been available since 1996, though, and the Orange hasn’t ranked higher than its current posi-tion and hasn’t been a consistent Top-25 team since the early 2000s.
With a 7-4-1 record and a No. 18 ranking in late October 2001, Syracuse lost 4-0 to No. 5 St. John’s before losing three straight matches to end the season.
“We had an incredibly talented group of guys, but for whatever reason we never put together that magical season,” said Ryan Hickey, who played for the Orange in 2000, from 2002-04 and was a graduate assistant for two years. “What they’re doing right now takes a special group of guys to achieve.
“This is probably the most relevant we’ve been on the national stage.”
Hickey said his team’s success stemmed from its defense and goalkeeping, much like the current SU squad. But offensively, the team would “have rhythm some games and be all over the place the next.”
“We never had the consistency to stay in the national rankings,” Hickey said. “… We were always fighting to get into that upper tier.”
But after 2002, Syracuse didn’t receive any Top-25 votes until 2007, three years before current SU head coach Ian McIntyre took over. While the Orange received votes in seven weekly polls in 2007 and 2008, the Orange never cracked the Top 25.
After winning just five games through McIntyre’s first two seasons, the 2012 team jumped into the national spotlight. That sea-son, SU finished 17th in the NSCAA rankings
after an improbable run to the sweet 16. “The guys know that after a while it gets
old to be nearly,” McIntyre said. “You don’t get any points for coming in second.”
When Hickey graduated from Syracuse in 2004, the team wasn’t prominent on the national scene and he only followed his alma mater loosely.
But now, he has every game marked on his calendar and watches the Orange on ESPN3 whenever he can. When Hickey plays soccer in the Atlanta District Ama-teur Soccer League, he said he’s proud to say he played for SU.
“I feel like the last couple of seasons they’ve been building towards this moment,” Hickey said. “It sounds like they have the coaching in place and that magical group of players to put together that special season.”

Tufts relishes in 2 wins after futile droughtBy Paul Schwedelsonstaff writer
Broken, bloody noses, gashed legs and bruised body parts were the byproducts of a historic moment.
After storming the field, Tufts fans chanted “Olé, Olé.” They high-fived strangers and crowd-surfed. They congratulated players and didn’t care that they smelled like sweat.
“People are getting to be concerned, because my legs are so bruised from it,” said Carolyn Margulies, a Tufts freshman who cut her leg while flipping over a fence to get onto the field.
“But it was totally worth it.”Tufts had not won a game since the season
opener in 2010 — two weeks ago.The Jumbos ended a 31-game losing streak
with a 24-17 win over Hamilton on Sept. 20 at Ellis Oval / Zimman Field in Somerville, Massachusetts. For every player on the team, it was the first time they ever won a college football game.
But the win was not a flash in the pan. Tufts followed up the monumental victory with another against Bates on Saturday — two wins that are a product of community support and stronger leadership than in recent years.
Hamilton hasn’t won a game since 2012 so fans had a feeling that the Jumbos’ losing streak might end two weeks ago. With five minutes left, students lined the fence around the field. They didn’t mention the potential win fearing that they would jinx it, but they prepared to rush the field anyway.
“We went out to go shake hands and the next thing you know there was 3,000 kids scream-ing onto the field running around us,” Tufts head coach Jay Civetti said.
Throughout the week between the two games, fellow students congratulated the play-ers around campus. Civetti said his team had to contain its excitement in practice on Tuesday. Students joked that their team should now take
on Alabama.“There was a bit of a reality check,” Civetti
said. “‘Hey look, it’s one win guys.’”But that didn’t stop the fans from getting
excited. This past weekend was homecoming, which meant an even bigger crowd attended the game. There were numerous sporting events, a carnival and parties throughout the weekend. Though the energy wasn’t as high after the second win, students stormed the field again.
This time, security guards opened the fences to avoid injuries.
One of the biggest differences between this season and years past is that Tufts picked captains for 2014 as soon as last season ended. They used to be announced at the start of the season. The change allowed for roles to be established early on throughout the spring so the team had strong leadership when the season started.
This is also the first year that Civetti, who
took over in 2011, recruited all four classes on his team.
Senior quarterback Jack Doll said he and the other seniors shared the moment and gathered around Civetti to take in the new experience.
“We stuck together and in difficult times we just leaned on each other and that’s where most of us get our motivation from,” Doll said. “It’s from the group.
“We did what we set out to do and it was on to the next one. We didn’t sit around and pat ourselves on the back.”
After years of futility, Tufts seems to be changing its identity. While seniors are seeing a win for the first time, the freshmen have yet to see them lose.
“I always joke that I feel like I was lied to when I got here, because I was promised a losing team and now this is happening,” Margulies said. “I don’t even know if I can trust Tufts anymore.”

His powerful leg had him taking kickoffs in the Orange’s season opener against Villanova. But junior starting kicker Ryan Norton went 4-for-7
in SU’s first two games and Murphy pushed into a starting role against the Fighting Irish.
“Every week’s a competition,” Murphy said before the Notre Dame game. “Every week we’re trying to get the exact same spot. I’m trying to get Norton’s, he’s trying to get mine.”
Murphy, like many college kickers, has a back-ground in soccer. The high school goalkeeper said that he wanted to pursue a career in soccer up
until his transfer to Valencia. In his first two years of playing football at
West Ranch (California) High School, he wasn’t the prolific kicker that he’d eventually become. He only started kicking because his parents told him he wasn’t allowed to play anything else on the football field.
But once he got to Valencia, he took the sport more seriously. In the first year after his transfer, he faced off against West Ranch, his former team. The student section, made up mostly of friends and old classmates, heckled and tried to distract him as he lined up for a 40-plus yard field goal.
Yet their efforts didn’t work. He raced to the sideline celebrating his kick and hushing the opposing crowd.
It was Malette who helped Murphy develop the skill he showcased at the Chris Sailer Kicking Camp in Las Vegas. That’s where he first got the attention of colleges. Soon after making a 55-yard field goal at the camp, he received a call from Syracuse Special Teams Quality Control coach Chris Gould.
“They were set on me before anybody else,” Murphy said. “It was really different from every other college. All of the other colleges, they’d come down to visit and say I’m talking to you and five
other guys today. There was a different feeling.”In high school, Murphy was a motivator and
tried to pump his team up. But in his first few months with the Orange he’s been more reserved. SU defensive line coach Tim Daoust said he doesn’t show much emotion.
For the most part, he hasn’t been given a reason to.
But after his 49-yard kick hooked inside the left side of the uprights against Maryland, he let his excitement seep through. His teammates mobbed him by the 40-yard-line. As he ran back to the team bench, he greeted players and coaches with emphatic high-fives.
Norton was supposed to take the kick, but after a penalty moved the Orange back five yards, Daoust thought Murphy had a better chance.
Murphy didn’t have time to think about it. All he had to do was kick.
“When they threw me in there I just had to snap into it,” Murphy said. “I had to figure out everything in a millisecond. It didn’t really hit me until after I had done it, that I was in there making my first collegiate field goal.”
And in that millisecond, he went from a player fighting for a chance, to a player seizing one.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — It wasn’t quite the connection Everett Golson had with wide receiver Will Fuller, but Terrel Hunt and Jar-rod West were on the same page, too.
Trailing for all but about 15 minutes of the game against Notre Dame, Syracuse had to drop the running game and attack the Fighting Irish through the air. If there were any positives from Hunt’s outing against Maryland on Sept. 20, it was the rapport he’s continuing to develop with West. The same could be said of SU’s 31-15 loss to No. 8 Notre Dame at MetLife Stadium on Saturday night.
West became the 11th receiver in program his-tory with 100 career receptions and eclipsed 100 receiving yards in a game for the second time in his career.
He finished with a career-high eight catches for 103 yards — no other Syracuse receiver logged more than 58 — after having just three receptions for 9 yards at halftime.
“I’m not a selfish player, so it’s not frustrating,” West said of not getting involved until late in the game. “I just try to go out and whatever comes my way, I try to make my plays.”
On SU’s first play of the second half, Hunt found West for a gain of 33. That moved the Orange into UND territory before Hunt threw a drive-killing interception four plays later.
Late in the third quarter, Hunt dropped in a well-placed pass for West, who brought it in for a gain of 28 and again moved Syracuse past midfield. The senior wideout added a 19-yard reception in the fourth quarter to convert a third down and set SU up in the red zone.
“They did a great job of slowing down the run
and making us pass,” West said.Against the Terrapins on Sept. 20, West
recorded 74 receiving yards, the bulk of which came on a 51-yard reception down the left sideline.
As Syracuse looks to rebound from an off performance in the running game, the offense can only benefit from Hunt and West stretching
out defenses and taking what it’s given.“Jarrod’s becoming a big-play threat down the
field and it’s very encouraging to see,” left tackle Sean Hickey said. “It’s good to have a vertical passing game working like that. It helps out the running game a lot.”

recruiting
Potential SU recruits, verbal commits enjoy MetLife StadiumBy Matt Schneidmanasst. copy editor
Colin Byrne sat in the MetLife Stadium seats, watched his future position coach Joe Adam direct warm-ups with the offensive linemen and imagined himself as one of the players on the field.
Byrne, a Class of 2015 offensive line verbal commit for Syracuse, traveled up from Florida to be one of a handful of potential recruits and verbal pledges in attendance on Saturday for the Orange’s matchup with then-No. 8 Notre Dame in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Playing a nationally prominent opponent in an NFL stadium provides a recruiting tool for SU. To high school players, it shows that the Orange can play for crowds of 76,802, schedule games with Top-10 teams and garner attention on a national network.
For some, it reinforces their decision to choose SU. For others, it moves the Orange higher up the list. Either way, the recruiting dividends that stem from playing at MetLife against a team like the Fighting Irish raise Syracuse’s profile.
“I was just thinking about me, in my high school stadium, doing the same thing on Fri-day nights,” Byrne said, “and what the transi-tion is going to be.”
In total, 13 prospects were in attendance to watch the game, according to Scout.com. Eight were members of the Class of 2015, including two
— three-star running back Dontae Strickland and the three-star Byrne — who have already verbally
committed to the Orange.But five members of this year’s class who were
in the stands have yet to make a decision, and some, like Class of 2015 offensive lineman Jared Southers, used the experience to narrow down a list that includes up to a dozen schools.
“It definitely moved Syracuse up, definitely made me want to check it out a little bit more, learn more about it,” Southers said. “Before the game I’d say it was out of my top six, but now it’s definitely in it.”
As high school students, they were in awe of the atmosphere. Byrne, who plays for nationally renowned St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida) High School, said he gets anywhere from three to four thousand people at a typical game on a Friday night in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and playing in front of Atlantic Coast Conference crowds seems surreal to him.
Although the Carrier Dome holds a maximum of almost 50,000 people, watching Syracuse play in front of the largest college football crowd ever at MetLife was an enticing sample size for recruits.
“The atmosphere was just crazy. Seventy-six
thousand fans were there. That was just, like, awe-some,” said Qaadir Sheppard, an uncommitted Class of 2015 three-star defensive end, and added that SU has been in his top three.
Being able to schedule teams like Notre Dame or Louisiana State, which will travel up to the Carrier Dome in 2015, doesn’t just attract recruits for the prospect of huge crowds.
Even though the Orange is 0-3 in games played at MetLife — losing to Southern California in 2012, Penn State in 2013 and most recently Notre Dame — it shows recruits that head coach Scott Shafer has the program heading in the right direction.
“They’re so close to making their statement,” Byrne said. “It’s not even that they can’t compete with these teams because they can. That’s what I look forward to the most is building this team up to a chance of beating a high-ranked team.”
And for 17- and 18-year-old kids, the possibil-ity of materializing the aura into a reality is even more enticing.
Said Sheppard: “This could really happen. That could be me out there.”

Cole Murphy didn’t care where the ball went, as long as it went far.
When the kicker first transferred to Valencia (California) High School in his junior year, he had an unrefined and inaccurate kicking leg.
His body was out of control. His only
redeeming quality was his power. “We had a lot of mechanical drills
that we worked on during practice,” said Brian Malette, Murphy’s high school kicking coach. “He was able to finally control himself in regard to being more accurate and placing the ball where he wanted to place it rather than just hacking at it.
“He definitely had one of the biggest legs in Valencia history.”
With that talent, Murphy earned a
preferred walk-on offer from Syracuse
in March. In the Orange’s 34-20 loss to Maryland on Sept. 20, he came on for starter Ryan Norton and booted a 49-yard field goal during the first quar-ter. In Saturday’s game against Notre Dame at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, he started and made a 38-yard field goal on his first try before hitting the right upright and missing from 37 later in the game.
COLE MURPHY was the starting field-goal kicker against Notre Dame after impressing with a 49-yard make against Maryland. The freshman pre-ferred walk-on is fighting with junior Ryan Norton to keep the starting role as SU heads into the bulk of ACC play. sam maller staff photographer

n a m e d c o - d e f e n -sive back of t he week. He shares the r e c o g n i -tion with D u k e junior Jer-
emy Cash.Eskridge made a season-high
nine tackles during the Orange’s (2-2) 31-15 loss to No. 8 Notre Dame on Saturday night at MetLife Sta-dium. He had a hand in a pair of turnovers as well, picking off an Everett Golson pass and return-ing it 29 yards for a touchdown in the fourth and pouncing on a third-quarter UND fumble.
The interception was the fifth of his career and first of the season and was also the Orange’s first pick-six since 2012.
During Duke’s loss at Miami, Cash logged a career-high 10 tackles and forced two fumbles.
SU to play Florida State at noon on ESPN on Oct. 11Syracuse and Florida State will play at noon in the Carrier Dome on Oct. 11, the Atlantic Coast Con-ference announced in a release Monday morning. The conference also announced that the game will be aired on ESPN.
The last time the Seminoles and Orange played, kickoff was at 3:30 p.m. and Florida State won 59-3 in Tallahassee, Florida, on Nov. 16, 2013.
The Seminoles are currently the No. 1 team in the country and most recently beat North Carolina State, 56-41. Syracuse will start ACC play against Louisville in the Carrier Dome on Friday and will look to rebound from its loss to the Fighting Irish.

Alex Bono will be looking attentively at his phone Tuesday afternoon. Jor-dan Murrell said he’ll be ready too, even though he doesn’t have a phone and his laptop is broken.
The National Soccer Coaches
Association of America poll, the offi-cial rankings used in college soccer, will be revealed.
“We all look at them,” Bono said of the rankings, “but we try not to read into them as much because they don’t really mean anything in the end. But I’ll definitely tune in.”
After Saturday’s upset of No. 2
Virginia, No. 18 SU will need to jump eight spots to be a Top-10 team when it takes the field Tuesday at 7 p.m. against Colgate (4-3-1, 1-0 Patriot League) at SU Soccer Stadium.
In the last 13 years, Syracuse has never held a regular season ranking higher than its current mark. But with a 1-0 victory over the Cava-
liers, SU will likely earn its highest in-season ranking since October 2001, when the new NSCAA poll is announced Tuesday at noon.
TopDrawerSoccer.com’s poll, an unofficial ranking, placed the Orange at No. 5 on Monday.
