PITTSBURGH — When Syr-acuse limped off the floor of the Petersen Events Center
on Saturday evening, another loss had hardened the following prevail-ing logic:
It’s a good year to self-impose a postseason ban because the Orange isn’t going to make the NCAA Tour-nament either way.
And after falling to Pittsburgh (16-8, 5-5 Atlantic Coast), 83-77, with the toughest part of its sched-ule still ahead, SU (15-8, 6-4) has eight games left to win for itself and prove that theory wrong. With the dust settled on the self-im-posed postseason ban — don’t get too comfortable, dust — the Orange now has eight more games to prove itself a victim of the circumstances
instead of a handy administrative chess piece.
If SU continues to lose, slapping a postseason ban on this season will be harmless compared to doing so in almost any other year. But if it plays for pride and stockpiles wins, the record will show that the season wasn’t always bound to be a wash.
There are some things that are hard to looks past. SU inappro-priately announced the ban on national signing day — which SU football head coach Scott Shafer said “is about the kids.” This year’s team isn’t to blame for past dis-cretions. And Rakeem Christmas, the team’s leading scorer and only
scholarship senior, has officially played his last postseason game.
It all doesn’t seem right because frankly, it isn’t. But there’s still a season to finish and a reputation
that this year’s Orange can salvage. “As soon as we heard the news,
we had a team meeting,” SU forward Michael Gbinije said. “We just got everything out and talked about things, and basically to wrap things up we just came to the conclusion that we want to win games and show people we’re a good team.”
Media members were given strict instructions to not ask about the postseason ban in the locker room after the loss to Pitt, but the conversation teetered onto the topic when SU players put the loss to Pittsburgh in perspective.
Responses to what the ban means to the last of the month of the Orange’s season included a grab bag of cliches — competitiveness and fight among them. SU head coach Jim Boeheim said he wasn’t worried about his team coming into the game and, when asked about

Otto’s Army is postponing its campout for the Duke vs. Syracuse men’s bas-ketball game until Monday at 5 p.m. due to the impending snowstorm.
The group was scheduled to begin its campout Sunday at 5 p.m., but because of the current weather and the forecasted snowstorm, Otto’s Army decided to push the start of the campout back a day, said Otto’s Army president Sean Fernandez.

The president of Otto’s Army says the group is remaining committed to the men’s basketball team following the announcement of a self-imposed postseason ban for this season.
Sean Fernandez, president of Otto’s Army, said the group is still looking forward to the rest of the season, despite there being no oppor-tunity for a tournament appearance. Otto’s Army took a group of students to the Syracuse (15-8, 6-4 Atlantic Coast) vs. Pittsburgh (16-8, 5-5 ACC)

Dylan Lowther received his first acceptance from Syracuse Univer-sity in 2013. But instead of joining the class of 2017, he took a gap year in Portland, Oregon to figure out the direction he wanted his life to go in.
“You know that feeling when something’s about to happen, but you don’t feel like you’re ready for it?” said Lowther, now a freshman advertising major in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
Lowther said he was dealing with too much at the time to commit to attending college. Accumulated stress, an unclear mind and fear led to his decision to spend a year in Portland.
Despite the frustration of his family and friends who wanted him to attend college, Lowther felt con-fident in his choice. In Portland, he spent most of his time either volunteering at the original Meals on Wheels location or by himself.
He had a clear goal for the gap year — he wanted to develop his personality without influence from friends, family, society or an insti-tution. He was also torn between sport management and commu-

nications, but said as his time in Portland progressed, he realized his passion was in communications.
“At one point, I came up with all these questions,” Lowther said. “I wanted to know more about all these subjects and then I realized — that’s exactly what college is. That’s the whole point of college.”
In early 2014, Lowther began the college application process once more. This time around, he enrolled in Newhouse.
“I really think everyone needs a year as a person where you’re not in an institution. At that point, you develop a taste,” Lowther said. “You need to learn how to be with yourself.”
Now, Lowther looks forward to his collegiate experience at SU.
“There were plenty of times that I wondered, ‘Wow, I don’t know if I’m ever going to make it to col-lege,’” Lowther said. “Every day when I wake up I’m overwhelmed and grateful beyond belief.”

Library dean search committee hosts forum
Diner to reopen Wednesday after recent closure
By Satoshi Sugiyama staff writer
Syracuse University’s search com-mittee for the dean of libraries and university librarian sought input from participants at an open forum Friday afternoon at Bird Library.
Seven members from the com-mittee and 12 others participated in the forum.
Jeffery Stanton, School of Infor-mation Studies interim dean and search committee chair, provided a brief overview of the search process to the participants, which includ-ed faculty members and students.
The participants then engaged in extensive discussions on leader-ship skills and desired qualifica-
tions needed for candidates as well as the future of academic libraries
at research universities.Stanton said he is impressed
by the discussions that took place during the forum.
“My big takeaway is how deeply the campus community cares about the libraries,” Stanton said. “Stu-dents, faculty and staff all have a very important stake in how well the library works on the campus.”
Stanton added that the forum was an important step in the selec-tion process.
“It is very beneficial to our pro-cess of creating a position profile that will attract the right kind of candidate to come to Syracuse
University.”Patricia Giles, a Ph.D. student
and a library technician at Bird Library, said she is satisfied with the committee’s effort to reach faculty and students for their feedback.
“I would say the committee has done an excellent job in inviting people to take part in having some input,” Giles said.
Giles said she wants a dean who is committed to making the library central to the mission of the univer-sity, specifically one who has different management skills and more “open and transparent communication

Manny’s, a popular T-shirt store on Marshall Street, discontinued the sales of shirts that read “’Cuse Strong” just a few days after they first became available.
Manny’s, located at 151 Marshall St., began selling the ’Cuse Strong T-shirts to rally community support following Syracuse University’s self-imposed one-year postseason ban for the 2014-15 men’s basketball season. The T-shirt featured the words “‘Cuse Strong” in large block letters, along with “Unfinished Busi-ness: Syracuse Basketball 2015.” The store decided to stop selling the ‘Cuse Strong T-shirts after the initial release of the shirts on Feb. 5, a Man-ny’s employee said. The T-shirts were being sold for $12.98 each.
According to a Feb. 5 Syracuse.com article, the store had advertised the shirts both on Twitter and on

The time to nominate candidates for the 2016 presidential election is approaching. There has been much speculation about
who the Republicans will choose and some names that have been consistently mentioned are Chris Christie (R–N.J.), Marco Rubio (R–Fla.), Jeb Bush (R–Fla.), Mike Huckabee (R–Ark.), Ted Cruz (R–TX) and Rand Paul (R–KY). Conversation about this topic has been spurred by a caller on Rush Limbaugh’s radio talk show. The caller made the bold statement that, “the future of our country depends on a great executive,” he said, “and not a great politician.”
Many would suggest that to the Republicans, the best candidate is the most conservative can-didate. However, this raises the question of what the word conservative actually means in today’s society. The Oxford English Dictionary defines conservative as “holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innova-tion, typically in relation to politics or religion.”
The misuse and over employment of the term conservative has begun to render the word somewhat meaningless. As it stands, most people mistakenly use conservative and Republican interchangeably. So when there is a true conser-vative Republican, many don’t understand the designation. To bring the meaning back to conser-vative, the media should severely limit their use of the word.
The problem with this is that, as Conor Frie-dersdorf wrote in The Atlantic, “Today, every GOP contender self-identifies as a conservative.” The truth, however, is that not all Republicans are conservatives, or they are not at least completely
abiding by the true definition of the word. Con-servatives are set apart from other Republicans by their strict adherence to moral conservative values. Many conservatives believe in marriage equality and are anti-abortion.
Rather than misusing conservative, the media should eliminate it from their vocabulary. As a result it would be forced to more clearly and accu-rately describe politicians. Then the public will have a much better idea of who these candidates are and what it is they believe in.
As Eliezer Yudkowsky said in his post on LessWrong.com, “When you find yourself in philosophical difficulties, the first line of defense is not to define your problematic terms, but to see whether you can think without using those terms at all.” It is probably not plausible to expect every-one to properly use conservative, but Republicans themselves should do their part in preserving the meaning behind this word. They are ultimately the ones in charge of creating the image of their party. It would be much more efficient to limit who is defined as a conservative.
One of the most well known conservative leaders was former President Ronald Reagan. He was a spokesperson for the values of conservatism before his term in office. And the decisions he made in office, such as proposing an amendment to allow for prayer in schools, exemplify conser-vative values as opposed to Republican ones. This
is unlike Christie, who is incorrectly described as a conservative. His policies such as favoring some gun control laws in his home state and holding more moderate views on illegal immigration make it difficult to classify him as a conservative.
If the media are able to filter their word choice when speaking about Republican candidates, then it will be much clearer to society what the word conservative really means. This will elimi-nate confusion, strengthen the legitimacy of the term and clarify the difference between the aver-age Republican and the conservative Republican.

OttoTHON needs support for successscribble
OttoTHON is a new dance marathon that is premiering at Syracuse University at the end of this month. Students should get involved and make this inaugural year as big as it can be in order for OttoTHON to be an established future success.
OttoTHON is a dance marathon that requires participants to stay on their feet for 12 hours and to raise a minimum of $100. Par-ticipants can form teams for the event or dance as individuals. The proceeds will stay local and will benefit Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital. The event will take place in the Women’s Building and begin on Feb. 28 at 6 p.m. and conclude on March 1 at 6 a.m.
OttoTHON is organized by stu-dents and was first recognized by the university last semester. Right away the group began publicizing the event
to accumulate interest. Now with the event just weeks away, organizers and participants should view this as crunch time. There are some quick fixes that should be immediately addressed, such as publicizing the actual date of the marathon. The date of OttoTHON is still not clear in the group’s Twitter description or the homepage of its website.
But this is not to diminish the efforts of OttoTHON organizers, who are piloting a new initiative on campus and focusing on this final push for publicity. Organizers set up free registration for Greek life on Sunday, and have plans to ask for donations at Destiny USA on Friday and Saturday. And while these efforts from organizers are valuable, the registered 806 dancers should help spread the message of OttoTHON as well.
OttoTHON’s goal is to raise $105,000 and as of Sunday night, $26,384 had been raised. Raising $105,000 is a lofty ambition for the first year of this new event, and it will take more than promotion from organizers to get it done. Even if that goal isn’t met, this first year can serve to build OttoTHON’s presence at SU and create momentum for years to come.
Many people have heard of college dance marathons that are more established at other schools, most notably THON at Penn State. These events are well known for giving back to the local community and building unity between the participants.
Bringing a dance marathon to SU is a great decision. Students should take on shared responsibility to get involved and help make OttoTHON a success.
The guac is extra, is that OK? You might be willing to fork up the extra two bucks
but — sound the alarm — extra charges could be coming for all Chi-potle products. Last week, Chipotle released its disappointing fourth quarter earnings report, which fell short on estimates on store growth and revenue. But the most alarming part came from the company’s earnings call, when management said they would heavily consider raising prices to offset rising whole-sale food costs.
Chipotle’s stock hit an all time high on Tuesday at $726.63. The lackluster earnings numbers were announced after the markets closed, and on Wednesday morning, the stock crashed over 7 percent to as low as $670.
But Chipotle enthusiasts should
have no reason to worry. If the com-pany wants to create fair value to its shareholders — full disclosure: I am one of them — it’s in Chipotle’s best interest to not raise product prices.
Here’s why: Chipotle is incredibly overhyped. Revenue in the last quarter increased by an impressive 26.7 percent to over a billion dollars. The company opened up 60 new restaurants and increased same store sales by over 16 percent. Those are incredible numbers on their own.
But investors demand more. Estimates on company earnings were far higher than the numbers reported. And that’s a problem. If Chipotle continues to hold itself to
the ridiculously high expectations of investors, the company will eventually peak out on growth and fall short. There is also a long list of economic conditions that can harm Chipotle’s business that the compa-ny doesn’t have control over.
Take, for example, rising wholesale food costs. The company observed increases in dairy and beef prices, which shortens profit margins on every burrito and burri-to bowl it sells.
Investors want Chipotle to mit-igate these risks by increasing the prices of its products. Their argu-ment is that they’ve done it before — last year, rising beef costs forced Chipotle to increase the price of its beef burritos. Some customers griped, but they still coughed up the extra cheddar for the burritos they love so much.
But if Chipotle knows what’s good for its long-term growth, it should be willing to prioritize the customer over the shareholder.
By raising prices, Chipotle is enabling its shareholders to expect the same ridiculous revenue num-bers that they want to see from a growth stock. And there’s only so many quarters that Chipotle can try to please its investors before it can no longer sustain 25 percent revenue increases and double digit same-store sale increases.
When that time comes, investors will ditch the company and send the stock sinking even more.
Chipotle should be willing to take the hit now and allow revenues to shrink with the existing menu prices. As it stands, many of the menu’s products with guacamole will break $10, which means it could
be more attractive to dine out at other restaurants. As a price point comparison for Syracuse students, a burrito bowl with guacamole and carnitas will run you only a few cents under the cost of pad thai to go from Appethaizing. That’s no longer a fast food price point.
Sure, investors will be upset and likely sink the stock a couple more percentage points. But the industry consensus is that Chipotle is an overvalued stock, which means it can afford to sink down to fair market value.
In this case, passing on the extra guac means saving some extra guap.

those who may think the program isn’t clean said, “I don’t give a sh*t what those people think.” Trevor Cooney repeatedly said, “It has nothing to do with us,” while adding that Syra-cuse can only control how hard it plays.
“There’s still a lot to play for. Trophies and rings, they’re awesome, but pride is a lot more and it goes a long way too,” Cooney said. “Just like today, we have some really tough oppo-nents coming up and really tough teams, and we want to go out there and win those games.”
Winning any of the remaining games — the Orange is slated to play Boston College, No. 9 Louisville, No. 10 Notre Dame, No. 4 Duke twice, No. 3 Virginia, North Carolina State and Pitts-burgh again — won’t be easy. SU is still unproven in crunch time, undermanned in the frontcourt and only four of its 15 wins have come against
teams currently with a winning record. But with the NCAA’s decisions still to
come and no postseason on the docket, these last nine games offer the Orange a chance to materialize its pride. Questions about the pro-gram’s legacy will swirl in the coming weeks, and this year’s team has a chance to gather some pieces of an otherwise hapless season. A final chance to make the experts poke at what could have been for a team that came together late but never had a chance to fully blossom.
“If anything, now we’re probably more determined to prove people wrong,” SU for-ward B.J. Johnson said.
Or Syracuse can sputter to the finish, the more likely result, and prove that a “postsea-son ban” was in store all along.

game on Saturday, which ended in an 83-77 loss for the Orange.
“We may have lost the game, but the Orange played hard and we’re happy to keep supporting them regardless of any sanctions, any tourna-ment ban,” Fernandez said of Syracuse’s loss to Pitt. “We’re always going to be supporting the Orange so I think morale is still pretty high.”
Fernandez said that in the wake of the self-im-posed ban, it’s “still business as usual” for Otto’s Army and said it’s an opportunity to support other SU sports like women’s basketball.
“So while the season may end for men’s bas-
ketball earlier than we expected, there’s still a great opportunity for us to go out and support the other teams,” he said.
Fernandez added that the group is looking for-ward to big games still on schedule, such as home games against Duke, Virginia and Pittsburgh.
“We still have a lot of games left and a lot of really good games left … so even though we’ve lost a few tough games lately, we’re still going to keep going and keep cheering for the team,” he said.
Looking ahead, Otto’s Army is scheduled to begin its campout leading up to Saturday’s game against Duke on Monday at 5 p.m. The campout was scheduled to start Sunday night, but was postponed due to a snowstorm.

style” among staff members and faculty in departments.
The search committee, which included SU faculty, staff and students, was formed at the end of last semester at the request of Eric Spina, SU’s former vice chancellor and pro-vost. Liz Liddy, SU’s current provost, has been involved in the committee since early January to oversee the processes for the selection.
The committee is expecting to screen can-didates and publish the process description in various online and print venues, such as The Chronicle of Higher Education. After the committee picks the three finalists, they will visit the SU campus and talk with faculty members and students by April. Following the committee’s recommendation, Liddy will
announce the new dean around July.David Lankes, a professor who teaches
library and information science and library technology at the iSchool, said he attended the forum to observe the selection procedure.
Lankes said he hopes the new dean will be willing to work with staff members and faculty members across campus. He said the dean’s job is one that doesn’t just buy books, but rather looks at the resources available and re-envi-sions how an academic library should be mov-ing forward. The library should be more flexible in its role under the new dean, Lankes said.
“The old metaphor for a library was that it was ‘the heart of the campus,’ and I don’t think it is true anymore because campus is much more distributed and the services that library can pro-vide is also much more distributed,” Lankes said.
Said Lankes: “I hope that the future of this library is that sort of connective tissue, that circulatory system that can get good ideas around to all faculty and all the different departments and staff.”
Symposium offers education on improving leadership skillsBy Joe Leonardcontributing writer
Syracuse University students and community members gathered in the Sheraton at Syracuse University Hotel and Conference Center on Saturday to discuss different aspects of leader-ship in today’s world.
The Student Leadership Institute hosted the event “Channeling Change: Bridging Knowledge and Action to Lead Effective Move-ments.” Students who attended participated in workshops with current leaders in the com-munity and SU employees in order to gain experience about leadership in action.
The symposium was a project created by a group of 10 students within the Student Lead-ership Institute.
“We wanted to give people practical knowl-edge and experiences from people in our com-munity and Syracuse,” said Mary Ricchezza, chair of the symposium and a junior in the
College of Arts and Sciences. The community members included keynote
speaker Chastity Cooper, a class of 2011 alumna and a digital communications associate for Cath-olic Charities. In her speech to start the day’s events, Cooper highlighted her strong belief in the millennial generation and emphasized the power that generation has bestowed upon them.
After the keynote speech, the group broke off into different rooms to begin the work-shops that the SLI had planned. SU employees and non-employees alike led these workshops, which included a variety of topics.
Chase Catalano, director of the LGBT Resource Center at SU, gave a workshop entitled “How to be an Ally to a Movement.” Mike Beck-strand, the only other SU employee to present, led his workshop on “How to Negotiate Effectively.” Beckstrand is a Ph.D. candidate in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.
Other workshops focused on topics includ-ing how social media affects social movements
and how to fund a movement.Moises Torres, a junior in the College of Arts and
Sciences from Los Angeles, said it was his home-town that brought him to Sheraton on Saturday.
“Where I come from is a neighborhood that’s predominantly Hispanic, and there’s a lot of social problems there,” Torres said. “What I want to do is go back, in time, with these new skills, and be a better leader for myself and the people.”
Torres was not the only student whose home was part of the reason they attended the symposium. Esmir Omerovic, a senior political science major, said it is his parents, and the world they came from, that inspire him.
“I was born during born during a war in Bosnia, so my parents and I came here with very little, but with hard work and the value of education,” Omerovic said.
Omerovic said he aspires to become a leader in the education community, saying that even the president had a teacher. Whether that work takes him back to Bosnia remains to be seen, but he said he’s not ruling it out.
Ricchezza said she knows that the symposium that she and her colleagues planned can reach the students that attended and many others.

Most SU students were not aware of Manny’s selling the ‘Cuse Strong T-shirts, but some students agreed that the shirts were not appropriate because they used the same phrase as T-shirts that sup-
ported the victims of the Boston bombings.Daria Oganesyan, a sophomore interna-
tional relations major, said that the wording was “too strong” and “should not have related to the Boston bombings.”
Lynnea Capuano, a freshman biology major, agreed that the T-shirts were “off-color” and said, “I think a lot of people are angry about (the T-shirts) because they don’t understand them.”

basketball season. Saturday will be the team’s first home game since the ban was announced.
Fernandez said he doesn’t expect the postsea-son ban and the lack of success recently to affect the turnout for the campout. He added that the “passion that SU students have is tough to find elsewhere,” which will lead to a solid turnout.
For logistics for the campout, the outside of the Dome will be expected to host a few hundred students setting up tents beginning Monday. When Gate E begins to overflow, Gate D will be used as necessary, Fernandez said.
“I’d hope that the turnout doesn’t suffer due to the subpar season and the recent self imposed postseason ban,” said David Levits-kiy, a sophomore bioengineering major. “The basketball team still deserves and has earned our support regardless of the rough year they’ve had on and off the court.”
Levitskiy camped out for the game last year and added that it was a rewarding experience.
A lottery system began last Thursday at the SU vs. North Carolina women’s basket-
ball game in the Dome. The lottery order was announced at halftime of the game for the ini-tial tent lineup of the Duke campout. Students had to arrive and sign up at the Dome by 7 p.m. on Thursday to be eligible in the lottery.
One person must remain in a group’s tent at all times from Monday at 5 p.m. through Saturday.
Drew Perdue, a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences, said he thinks turnout for the campout may be lower than last year. Perdue said it is not a result of the cold tem-peratures, but that the hype of the game isn’t as big this year as it was last season.
Fernandez said that those students who do campout are “really passionate and any time you have Duke in the Dome, they want to be as close to the action as possible so camping out is obviously the way to get closest.”
During the campout for last season’s game against Duke, Otto’s Army decided to sus-pend its campout for three nights due to cold temperatures. That campout lasted about two weeks total.

FOWL TROUBLESUNY-ESF student takes part in research looking into virus that hurts wild turkeys
ESFevery monday in news dailyorange.com @dailyorange february 9, 2015 • PAGE 7
By Anjali Alwisstaff writer
A SUNY-ESF master’s student is working on research as part of a larger study that is look-ing at a virus discovered in wild turkeys.
Lymphoproliferative Disease Virus was first discovered in 2009 in wild turkeys in the United States by researchers at the Southeast-ern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. The disease was found when turkeys were brought to the researchers with the origi-nal belief that they had pox. Researchers began doing broad surveillance of hunter-killed tur-keys up and down the east coast and found that LPDV was surprisingly widespread.
The New York Department of Environmen-tal Conservation decided it would take a closer look and see what the virus was doing in New York, but did not have resources to do so. That’s how Katrina Alger ended up working on the project. Alger, a master’s student at the State University of New York College of Environment Science and Forestry, had contacted the wild-life and disease faculty at Cornell University who had steered her toward LPDV research.
Some of the more severe symptoms of LPDV in turkeys are visible scabs and tumors on the head of the turkey. However, direct mortality is not a huge risk for the wild turkey population and it is not well understood what the virus is actually doing to the birds.
“We’ve seen a lot of birds that test positive for the virus that don’t seem to have any out-ward signs of disease, and I think that’s why researchers are nervous,” said Alger. “There could be other dynamics going on that we’re not aware of and until we figure out more baseline information about the virus itself we won’t really know.”
A main component in Alger’s research includes looking at the special distribution of the virus in New York state specifically to see if there is any sort of relationship between landscape characteristics in each section or significant clusters of infection.
“I’m looking at the space through three
different years — so I’m looking at time to see if there are temporal relationships,” she said.
Another important aspect of her research is finding a non-lethal way to easily test birds for LPDV, as the most effective method is using bone marrow.
“One part of my research was trying to discover whether there was a simple way to just test blood,” she said. In addition, the DEC has been getting Alger access to the legs of hunter-killed turkeys to test and continue to discover more about LPDV.
There is no indication that the virus is harmful to humans but the DEC warns against
eating a bird that is visibly sick. Additionally, there is not a clear picture
as to how the virus is being spread between birds. Some of the early research did indi-cate that young birds can transmit the virus horizontally which means back-and -forth between each other, Alger said. Other avian retroviruses can be transmitted vertically, from mother to offspring, which has not been conclusively shown with LPDV but requires more research.
While the virus is detrimentally affecting some turkeys, the recent drop in turkey popu-lation cannot be attributed solely to the virus.
Waxes and wanes in populations can be caused by a lot of different things; it could be weather related or habitat related, said Alger. There was a dramatic spike in the wild turkey popu-lation a few years ago so it is hard for scientists to discern if this change is a normal fallback to carrying capacity, or whether it’s going to continue dropping, she added.
Alger said her research has been a collabo-rative effort between SUNY-ESF, Cornell Uni-versity and the New York DEC.
“All three institutions have been incredibly helpful and supportive,” she said.

FAULKNER stops and contemplates the design she draws on the snow. “It’s not really a conscious decision,” Faulkner said. “I just draw when inspiration strikes.”
FAULKNER reaches inside her boots to get rid of the snow that made its way inside. Despite spending half an hour walking in the knee-deep snow, Faulkner said her feet are usually warm.
FAULKNER uses her footsteps to draw in the snow. Faulkner said the longest she ever spent on a drawing was a recreation of Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” which took three hours.

Shorts, rompers stray away from traditional wedding attire
When someone says the word wed-ding, I picture men in black tuxe-dos and a bride coming down the
aisle in a voluminous white ball gown with a veil cascading over her shoulders.
Some people may say that my view is some-what close-minded, since people should be able to wear what is comfortable for them, but I would say I am just a traditionalist.
This is why I’m not on board with bridal fashion’s newest trend — bridal shorts and rompers. Yes, you read that correctly. A bride wearing shorts or a romper to her own wedding.
Anthropologie rolled out a wedding romper this past fall covered in delicate lace and cinched at the waist with a silk belt. Just recently, J.Crew unveiled its new wave of casual bridal attire in the form of slouchy white track shorts adorned with hand-ap-plied sequins.
The worst part of these shorts is their price — a whopping $450 dollars. It seems like the wedding label allows for a 10-time increase in price.
In a Feb. 3 Racked article, Molly Schaul, J.Crew’s director of wedding design, shed light on the reasons for the bridal shorts: “A lot of modern brides are always looking for some-thing that will allow them to take a risk and be unique at their weddings but still keep that timeless aesthetic, so they’ll be happy looking back at their photographs in 20 years. The shorts are a perfect option for beach weddings, but also offer a really unique opportunity to be bold in a casual setting.”
Last time I checked, weddings weren’t real-ly that casual. But maybe I’ve just been going to the wrong type of weddings.
I’m all for women trying to be unique — wearing flapper-style dresses that are looser
than traditional dresses, or even those that are 1950s-esque and end right above the ankle.
But wearing shorts? That’s where I draw the line.
I would never wear shorts to a wedding, not even a beach wedding at the least, so why should the main lady wear a pair?
I understand their appeal. They are super comfortable, and you can still look chic, if paired with a nice flowy top and strappy heels. They will allow you to be bold and dar-ing in your bridal fashion choice, and you will definitely stand out from the parade of white chiffon dresses that are the typical choice.
Plus, as an added bonus, both options have pockets perfect for storing a tissue — in case you need one to dry your eyes — and lipstick —in case you need to touch it up throughout the night. Totally utilitarian.
But to me, it still doesn’t scream wedding. Your wedding day is all about you, so someone will go get you a tissue or your lipstick if you need it.
And sure, they may be comfortable, but what girl hasn’t pictured herself more than a dozen times walking down the aisle in a giant white gown?
The only instance of a bride in shorts that I deem acceptable is Olivia Palermo’s bridal ensemble. The fashion star wore a simple cream cashmere sweater with scattered ostrich feathers and chic white shorts. But she added a full tulle skirt overlay that cinched at the waist in layers of satin and silk, and fea-tured a high slit in the front with floral details along the hem.
It was the perfect mix of casual and tradi-tional bridal style.
So while I admire those who wish to take some serious fashion risks, I’m not sure your wedding day is the best day to be doing so.
Church bells will keep ringing, and so beau-tiful white dresses should keep coming down the aisles.

With its breakfast specialty, Barney Rubble, featuring French toast coat-ed in crushed Fruity Pebbles, maple
syrup, strawberry-ginger jam, sweetened but-ter and creme anglaise, I am willing to bet my grandmother’s false teeth that Modern Malt will become a Syracuse favorite in no time.
Modern Malt, located in Armory Square, officially opened for business on Feb. 4. Break-fast runs all day and the menu includes thick creamy milkshakes, fresh smoothies and a decadent cocktail list. The restaurant has a chic, slightly retro, diner-style decor with big orange light fittings and minty-blue uphol-stered benches.
The bar is the first thing you see when you
enter the restaurant — decorated with bright blue, orange and white mosaic tiles and sur-rounded by orange and blue stools. The waiters were dressed in black, and most had extensive body tattoos and ear gauges, giving the whole place a cool, indie-rock feel while maintaining a not-too-in-your-face, but fun Syracuse Uni-versity vibe.
It features all your American staples — soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers — but created with extra attention to detail in order to produce a gourmet appearance. The menu even caters to Canadians with a poutinerie section. Poutine is a dish comprised of french fries topped with cheese curds and gravy.
I ordered a vanilla ginger milkshake, the Barney Rubble French toast and the XOXO tacos. The poutine burger was not listed on every menu, but I had heard it was a specialty so I inquired about it. Make sure you do as well, because this brioche bun stacked with
fries, a bourbon au poivre burger, cheese curds and gravy is not to be missed. It even comes with lettuce, cucumber, onions and tomato on the side, so it’s basically healthy.
The milkshake arrived first in a tall clear glass with a red straw, a spiral of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed ginger cook-ie. There is a phrase called the milkshake effect — during which you devour an entire milkshake, are in heaven for the entire dura-tion of the experience and then feel like death afterward because it was just too much sickly, sweet goodness to handle. The milkshake effect wasn’t a problem this time, as the it was the perfect size, leaving me quite capable of tucking into the Barney Rubble French toast, which arrived just moments later.
I don’t think it is possible to go wrong with Fruity Pebbles, thick French toast slices and creme anglaise, except maybe terming it as breakfast rather than dessert. All the toppings
came in separate little side containers, which I appreciated as I could tailor the dish to my own personal sweet tooth cravings.
The XOXO tacos fillings were great — the light taste of the cilantro and chipotle aioli perfectly balanced the steak. I personally would have preferred a soft taco shell to the fried puff one, which made it both messy and tricky to divide up between tablemates.
The burger was a tender, gooey mess of fries, meat, gravy and cheese curds. I was dis-appointed, as the burger patty was slightly cold and the cheese curds were hard and un-melt-ed. It was clear that this dish had been sitting under the lights in the kitchen for a while.
Nevertheless I loaded the bun with the veg-etables and immensely enjoyed the struggle of trying to eat this massive burger, similar to the way I enjoyed the complete Modern Malt dining experience.

Modern Malt’s XOXO tacos feature fillings with the light taste of cilantro and chipotle aioli that perfectly balance the steak in a fried puff shell. The restaurant has a chic, slightly retro-diner styled decor with minty-blue upholstered benches.
Modern Malt’s milkshakes, like the vanilla ginger milkshake, come in the perfect size.

“Your hopes are to have a successful sea-son and make the NCAA, and especially when you’re at Syracuse, you want to win it,” then-SU forward Glenn Sekunda said. “And it’s not far-fetched to think that either.”
Current SU assistant coaches Mike Hop-kins and Adrian Autry were also on the 1992–93 team — Hopkins was a senior — but were not made available for comment for this story.
In the wake of SU’s decision to self-impose a postseason ban for this year’s team, after an NCAA investigation that hasn’t produced sanctions yet, Keating and his former team-mate on that team, Sekunda, team reflected on the experience of accepting the ban and
playing through a season knowing no NCAA Tournament or NIT awaited.
“The biggest thing is disappointment and you feel like you’ve done nothing wrong to warrant that,” Sekunda said.
Keating was a walk-on and an engineering major who only played one minute in his two-year career. The NCAA-sanctioned loss of a scholarship for each of the next two seasons contributed to Keating’s decision to leave the team after the 1992–93 season as he figured he wouldn’t be able to earn one as a walk-on, he said.
Current walk-ons may do the same if the NCAA issues any sanctions that affect schol-arships too, he said.
“As a walk-on, these are some of the thing you look forward to,” he said of NCAA Tour-nament appearances.
Keating emphasized that bans are much worse for scholarship players who have a rea-sonable chance of getting scouted for and playing professional basketball.
Sekunda transferred to Penn State after the season due to limited playing time and went on to play 12 years of professional basketball in Europe. He said that while the fact that there was no postseason did enter his mind and his teammates’, it didn’t change game days.
“You try to prove to your opponent ‘Hey, I’m better than you,’” Sekunda said.

together and the sanctions aren’t about them.“There’s nothing to really say about it, I
wish I could have something to say,” Cooney said. “But there’s nothing that you can say … I’m not saying (I want to say something) … It just has nothing to do with us.”
The postseason doesn’t change anything, players said, in that every game is personal regardless of what’s going on off the court.
“It’s a basketball game no matter what,” freshman point guard Kaleb Joseph said.
He also said having no NCAA Tournament to lose out on doesn’t take any pressure off the team or help him or anyone else relax.
Sophomore forward B.J. Johnson said the team is, if anything, more fired up to perform.
And Rakeem Christmas said the ban has made a close team closer.
“Everyone’s been tighter,” he said. “We’ve
always been a tight family, but everyone’s tighter now. Everyone’s been just trying to give it their all.
“It’s a deadline to our season, so everyone’s just trying to play through it.”
The team’s reaction on the court was a positive one. After narrowly defeating ACC bottom-dweller Virginia Tech on Tuesday, SU ran Pittsburgh, an NCAA Tournament bubble team, to the wire in the Panthers’ home arena.
Syracuse got one of its most complete performances of the season against Pitt with Ron Patterson and Johnson delivering a combined 23 minutes off the bench.
Ultimately, though, the ban has left the team with only so much to look forward to.
“I said a few things to the team and they responded well today,” Cooney said “… Over-all, we didn’t come out here and get blown out by 25. So I mean I’m proud of how we played and how we fought.”

men’s lacrosse
Syracuse enjoys Williams’ success at X, cruises past SienaBy Sam Blumasst. sports editor
Kevin Rice walked off the field as the third quar-ter ended and looked up at the scoreboard. Syra-cuse had a 22-5 advantage at the faceoff X. In his first three seasons with the Orange, success at that position was few and far between.
But to start the 2015 season, that inconsis-tency was nowhere to be seen.
“It doesn’t get much better than that,” Rice said. “I think you saw what our offense can do when they get possession, and it’s exciting.”
Ben Williams, Syracuse’s new faceoff specialist, dominated at the X, helped keep the ball in the SU sticks and was the main catalyst in the No. 4 Orange’s (1-0) 21-7 blowout win over Siena (0-1) on Saturday in the Carrier Dome. Williams corralled 17 of his 20 faceoffs, including the first six, as the Saints — and faceoff specialist Casey Dowd — could never find any sustained momentum on offense. And the 2,740 in attendance were treated to the first game in a long time in which Syracuse gaining possession was almost a virtual certainty.
“Now I think we have a chance of getting the ball back after a goal, you play differently,” SU head coach John Desko said. “It’s an entirely differently psyche when you’re playing lacrosse out there having possessions.“
Williams captured the first faceoff in a matter of seconds. And after attack Dylan Donahue scored the first goal, Williams’ second scoop looked effort-less as well. With the Orange leading 2-1 and 5:39 left in the first quarter, Williams picked up the
ball, raced to the right of the goal and whipped a shot past goalkeeper Tommy Cordts with just eight seconds coming off the clock.
Syracuse picked up 7-of-8 faceoffs in the first quarter, and in turn, led 6-1. But when the sec-ond half started, Dowd started to find a rhythm. After Dowd’s second faceoff, Richie Hurley swung around the goal and put it in the net. Dowd once again got his team possession and Nate Barry shov-eled a shot in to cut the deficit to three.
But Siena couldn’t sustain any momentum. Williams won the next four faceoffs and the Orange ended the half on a 3-0 run.
“I’m just getting on the ball, bringing it out front, trying to get the ground ball to these guys as fast as I could,” Williams said. “I don’t think too much about the other guy when I’m out there. My wings did an awesome job communi-cating with me.”
Williams said he spent a lot of time in practice working on exploding on the ball after the whis-tle. On Saturday, many of the faceoffs made Dowd look clueless.
Siena head coach John Svec admitted that he expected for his team to do better gaining pos-session, but that he had no real idea what he’d be getting from Williams, the Holy Cross transfer.
“I’d like to say I felt sorry for the other guy,” Desko said, chuckling. “But not really.”
In previous seasons, poor performance at the X has been the talking point of the end to two disappointing campaigns. In 2013, Chris Daddio picked up just 45.3 percent of his faceoffs, includ-ing 0-of-4 in the NCAA tournament final. Despite

Siena head coach John Svec knew he had to change his approach from last year.
Six of Kevin Rice’s eight assists were to Dylan Donahue in Syracuse’s 2014 season opener against the Saints, so Svec decided to hone in on Rice to try to reverse the 19-7 result from a year ago.
But it didn’t even come close to working on Saturday.
“We wanted to try and take Kevin Rice out of it since he’s clearly their feeder,” Svec said. “But we didn’t quite seem to get that today.”
Instead of the Syracuse attack giving the Orange a sizeable first-half lead, it was SU’s mid-field that handled the majority of the scoring load while the visitors tried to shut down Rice, Donahue and Randy Staats up top. Midfielders Hakeem Lecky and Nicky Galasso led a unit that accounted for six of Syracuse’s nine goals in the opening 30 minutes, and one that ultimately pro-vided a second dimension too hard for Siena (0-1)
to defend in No. 4 Syracuse’s (1-0) 21-7 win in front of 2,740 in the Carrier Dome.
“We knew after last year, some of the stat lines from last year’s game, they probably would play us
a little differently,” Rice said. “They were hesitant to slide from down low and Lecky’s going to draw a slide every time and that left Nicky open.”
With eight minutes left in the opening quarter, Lecky took the ball from midfield and sprinted down the left side before lofting a high pass toward the middle to Galasso, who corralled the ball and scored from 7 yards out. Four min-utes later, Lecky darted down the left alley, leav-
ing his defender in his tracks before bouncing one into the back of the net while tripping over himself on the edge of the crease.
“Yeah, I just lost my foot a little bit,” Lecky joked. “I saw the opening so I tried to beat the guy that was supposed to be sliding.”
All half, the speed of Lecky — who tallied three of his four assists in the first two quarters — exposed a Siena defense that was unable to adjust from its original game plan and was ultimately too slow to shift over from covering SU’s attack.
“We needed to slide,” Svec said. “We can’t have a kid like Hakeem Lecky coming flying down at your goalie and shooting from 7 yards and not slide.”
Throughout the first half, Siena defender Pat Killeen bodied Rice around the goal, making Syracuse’s go-to attack fight for every opening as he often stumbled and was pushed off balance when he got the ball.
Rice’s only first-half tally came with significant physical contact, as Killeen fell on top of him while Rice rifled the ball into the back of the net.
And even though SU’s primary goal-scorer —
and his two other attacks — were held largely inef-fective early on, the Syracuse offense’s depth and versatility still allowed the Orange to jump out to a lead it wouldn’t come close to relinquishing.
“Some of the guys mentioned earlier how focused the Siena defense was on the attack and trying to take Kevin out of the game by shutting him off and really focusing on Randy and Dylan,” SU head coach John Desko said. “We’re just comfortable if they’re going to do that.”
As time ticked on in the second half of a game that was already decided, midfielders Tim Barber, Ryan Simmons and Joe Gillis scored their first career goals for the Orange.
It was a luxury Desko was glad to have, and one that was largely enabled by a midfield unit that made an already potent SU offense that much harder to defend.
Said Rice: “It made (Siena) have to respect the middies and it’s just a good, well-balanced team offense.”

his resurgence midway through last year, Syra-cuse finished 44th out of 61 teams, and won 46.7 of its faceoffs.
Saturday, though, provided Syracuse with cautious optimism. It was just one game against a mediocre opponent. But it gave the Orange reason to think it may have solved its
greatest Achilles’ heel.“In the past, we’ve had to look up at the score-
board,” Desko said, “and we’ve had chances at the offensive end of the field, we may have to take a little more time and work to be really efficient.

We knew after last year, some of the stat lines from last year’s game, they probably would play us a little differently.Kevin Ricesu attack
what she did.”Syracuse was able to play sloppily because
of the early lead it built in the first half. The Orange raced out to a 33-19 advantage after an Isabella Slim 3-pointer. But the Yellow Jackets
made four of their final eight field goals on an 8-0 run just before halftime.
In the second half, Syracuse never lost the lead, but had to work hard to keep it. After Zaire O’Neil’s layup cut the lead to five, Butler hit a 3 to extend the lead to 40-32. Less than three minutes later Katarina Vuckovic hit a 3 to cut the lead to seven, but it took only 40
seconds to bring the deficit back up to 11.The difference wouldn’t get closer than six
before the final buzzer, following Syracuse’s two turnovers in the final minute. But with only 21 seconds to play, the lead was more than com-fortable. Alexis Peterson hit two game-icing free throws, and Davis’ 3-pointer at the buzzer only did favors for the box score as the Orange
won its second-straight ACC game.“At the end of the day it’s about us taking it
one game at a time,” Hillsman said. “Obviously we do want to win the rest of our games … We really just want to make sure that whatever we do we work hard and try to clean up our game and get better.”

Canisius threw everything it had at Syracuse attack Kayla Treanor to shut her down. She was the defensive focus for most of the game, but SU worked around it.
In the first half, it was Halle Majorana that benefited.
Her work from behind the net helped preserve a first half in which Treanor scored just one goal and the team suffered from what Orange head coach Gary Gait called a “mental letdown.”
“If they’re able to score, it’s not really a big deal,” Treanor said of her teammates taking on her scor-ing burden, “We were scoring really well.”
No. 3 Syracuse (2-0) won the second game of its doubleheader against Canisius (0-1), 21-13, in the Carrier Dome. In her second game after trans-ferring from Maryland, Majorana carried SU’s scoring in the first half, contributing on six of SU’s 10 goals. In all, Majorana tallied 10 points on Satur-day with seven coming in the second game.
“It worked out for (Majorana),” Gait said. “You go … shut off the other side with Kayla Treanor, it opens up the field.”
Treanor only managed two points in the game — a total that tied for the second-lowest output of her career. Majorana usurped Treanor’s pro-duction, but unlike Treanor, the transfer did her damage from behind the net.
On SU’s second goal of the game, Majorana
found a cutting Riley Donahue while moving around the crease to the goalie’s right side. And to make the game 8-2, Syracuse’s biggest first-half lead, Majorana fed attack Kailah Kempney from behind the net for a score.
Consistently, Majorana was last to the Orange’s celebratory huddles because she was hanging around behind the net.
When Majorana got her opportunities, she was lethal near the net. She faked high and low to change her shot angle, something she said she worked on throughout the last two years at Maryland. Her ability to finish near the net was the most consistent part of her game in both games of the doubleheader.
“I’m definitely used to — freshman, sophomore year — shoot high to high, so definitely I worked on that, now I just always have to throw in a fake,” Majorana said.
Majorana played loose throughout the second game. After Canisius took a timeout, she walked toward the restraining line, also the 30-yard line of the field, and danced, if only for a split second, to the Carrier Dome music. At the end of the game, Majorana was talking and laughing with team-mates on the sideline.
Her play in the second game was a stark contrast from the first game. Majorana was inefficient in the first game of the doubleheader — she took eight shots and turned the ball over three times in SU’s 18-10 win over Denver — but settled down in the second game. A few of those eight shots came from distance and were easily read by Denver’s goalie.
Her comfort was apparent on the stat sheet, too. She took five shots, put them all on net and scored four goals. In addition, she only turned the ball over twice.
“We talked to her in between games and said, ‘Let the game come to you a little bit,’” Gait said, “… I thought she played much better in the second game and really started to feel real comfortable.”

Syracuse hangs on late to beat Georgia Tech despite sloppy playBy Sam Blumasst. sports editor
Syracuse won, but did everything it could not to.
Whether it was the Orange not making a single field goal in the final eight minutes, or the six turnovers and three missed free throws during
the same stretch, SU was grinding out a game that, had Georgia Tech played any better, could have just as
easily been a Syracuse loss.
“Obviously, you never want to turn the ball over, but we just got to the point where we knew we had to
just get shots down the floor or make sure we get the ball secured,” SU head coach Quentin Hillsman said. “When you turn the ball over like that, you’re not happy.”
The No. 25 Orange (17-7, 7-4 Atlantic Coast) used 20 offensive rebounds and 21 forced turnovers to overcome a sloppy performance
in a 65-60 win over Georgia Tech (14-10, 4-6) on Sunday afternoon at McCamish Pavilion. Brianna But-ler — who shot 2-of-21 in SU’s win over No. 13 UNC on Thursday — had arguably her best game of the season, scoring 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting.
Syracuse also held GT’s top scorer, Kaela Davis, to just 6-of-21 from the
field. Six of her points came with less than a minute left and the game already out of reach.
“Like I always say, we need (But-ler) to keep shooting, it’s what it’s all about,” Hillsman said. “We need her to keep shooting the ball and keep being aggressive and that’s

Former SU players reflect on 1992-93 NCAA ban
By Jacob Klingerdevelopment editor
PITTSBURGH — After Syra-cuse players found out they had no postseason to play
for on Wednesday, they had a team meeting, then a players-only one.
Junior guard Trevor Cooney led the second discussion and the team left with the same goal that it started the season with: winning basketball games. There was just only going to be nine left, regardless of how many they won.
Following the Orange’s (15-8, 6-4 Atlantic Coast Conference)
83-77 loss to Pittsburgh (16-8, 5-5) on Saturday, Syracuse players spoke publicly for the first time since SU announced a self-imposed post-season ban for the basketball team — following a years-long NCAA investigation that has yet to pro-duce NCAA sanctions — and shared their reactions to the ban. They said they’d be no less motivated, that the experience brought them closer

After losing in a blowout to Seton Hall in the 1993 Big East tournament final, Steve Keating remembers the Syracuse team bus pulling into the parking lot outside of Manley Field House with about three feet of snow on the ground.
Then-assistant coach Bernie Fine was planning wind sprints and workouts for the next day. But a 20-9 SU team that went 10-8 in the Big East and 2-4 against Top 25 teams knew it wasn’t going to play for another 259 days.
The Orangemen had been banned from postseason play by the NCAA for “repeated and conscious efforts
by representatives of the university’s athletic interests to gain recruit-ing and competitive advantages for the men’s basketball program,” according to the governing bodies infractions committee. Its ban was released by the NCA A before the season on Oct. 2, 1992 and the Big East voted to allow SU to play in the conference tournament.
It left the then-defending Big East champions with no shot at a national title. Those Orangemen — including now former NBA players Lawrence Moten and John Wallace — were the last to miss out on the national postseason and the last Syracuse men’s basketball team to receive a postseason ban.
