University to change policyMEDIA STAINSU officials plan to add sanctions to student academic integrity policy
SU’s Muslim community discusses media portrayal of Islam
By Nina Leeds staff writer
Syracuse University officials are working to relax the university’s academic integrity policy and institute a sanction system so that, in some cases, students with minor offenses do not have to go through a formal hearing.
The revised policy aims at fixing specific problems that have come up over the years. Margaret Usdan-sky, the director of the Academic Integrity Office, said the com-mittee was addressing goals that include eliminating hearings when students acknowledge they have violated the policy and classifying violations at three different levels.
Each level of violation would correlate with a specific sanction: a formal letter of reprimand for level 1, academic probation for level 2 and suspension or expulsion for level 3, Usdansky said.
Student Association President Aysha Seedat said she is also on board with the revamping of the academic integrity policy.
“I think that the current policy is outdated and doesn’t take into account the ways in which students work nowadays,” Seedat said.
Seedat has also been involved with the revision’s process, spe-cifically contributing to the idea of sanctions, which is a new concept for the policy.
The current policy only pro-vides one avenue to take: a formal hearing, according to the Academ-ic Integrity Office’s website.
Since the hearing is the only way a problem can be dealt with under the current policy, there are between 55 and 69 hearings per year. The sanctions would provide less time-consuming alternatives for lesser types of inflictions and save faculty and colleges resourc-es, according to the website.
“We’ve outgrown the current system,” Usdansky said. “It’s time to modify it, keeping the aspects that work best and adding improve-ments to make sure our processes

Editor’s Note: As Islam continues to grow and has become more prominent in the public’s eye, The Daily Orange took a look at Muslims and Islamophobia at Syracuse University.
By Alexa Torrens news editor
Maheer Azad was 6 years old and in a classroom a few blocks away from the World Trade Center on 9/11.
He was confused, just like everybody else, he said. He was escorted home by security guards just like everybody else, he said, “because we didn’t know why the skies were so dark outside that day.”
But Azad said that people forget he — an American-born Bengali, Muslim and junior at Syracuse University — was a kid, just like many others, on that day.
It has been 15 years since the terror-ist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and though there has not been another attack with a magnitude of destruction close to that of 9/11 since, for many Muslims in the Unit-ed States, the skies are once again dark, as oversaturated and negative portrayals of Islam and Islamophobic proposals by
presidential candidates stain the media. Like 9/11, the recent terrorist attacks
formulated and executed by radical Mus-lim extremists in Paris and San Ber-nardino, California resonate strongly with members of SU’s Muslim commu-nity. The attacks are most often brought up in the context of Islamophobia, or the fear of Islam.
This fear — which is often based on a lack of knowledge about the religion, said Gustav Niebuhr, director of the Carnegie Religion and Media Program at Syracuse University — is a phenomenon he said has been present in the U.S. even before 9/11.
It’s also a phenomenon that Niebuhr
said is amplified among some people by individual presidential candidates who pander to what they perceive to be the worst fears of the American public.
Zainab Abdali, president of SU’s Muslim Students’ Association and a Pakistan-born Muslim, said Islamophobia tends to surge after terrorist attacks and after presiden-tial candidate Donald Trump makes an Islamophobic remark or proposal.
“Trump is recent, but the media has been circulating these images or this nar-rative about fearing Muslims for a while,” Abdali said. “So even though now they’re like, ‘Oh, Trump sucks,’ the media has been doing the same thing but just a lot more subtly for a while.”
But, Niebuhr said, this pandering does not affect everyone.
“One’s got to remember that there were people who spoke out against that fear-mongering in January and Decem-ber that was aimed at Muslims,” he said. “It’s a mix, in other words.”
The mix could be attributed to the many misconceptions about Islam that members of SU’s Muslim community attribute to both media portrayal of Muslims and gen-eral ignorance toward the world religion,

When Edward Castillo arrives back home from school every summer, he and friend Ian Javier don’t meet up to watch a movie or catch up over dinner — they get tattoos together.
The tradition began two years ago after the friends, who are regu-lar blood donors, learned donors must wait a full year before giving blood again after getting a tattoo. That summer, they specifically planned to donate the day before going to the tattoo parlor.
In 2015, they decided to tattoo words that were important to them. Castillo, a junior finance and eco-nomics dual major, has a tattoo of a Steve Jobs quote on his bicep that says, “stay hungry, stay foolish.”
Castillo decided on the quote after watching a video of Steve Jobs speak-ing to a Stanford University graduat-ing class. He said he felt a personal connection with the quote.
“He was telling them that no matter where they end up in life, they can’t lose that hunger for suc-cess,” Castillo said. “They can’t be afraid to take risks and make mis-takes along the way.”
But one set of tattoos really con-nects the two friends. The year before, they both decided to get matching Buddhist symbols that encompassed their morals and values. Castillo tat-tooed an enso on his right triceps, while Javier tattooed an eternal knot.
An enso is a Buddhist symbol that means “circle” and looks like a mis-shapen circle that doesn’t close at the end. The stroke of ink seems dark and thick at the beginning before curv-ing and fading away. Castillo said he decided on an enso because he’s a perfectionist, and ensos symbolize the acceptance of imperfection.
“I’m usually very hard on myself when I come across fail-ure, and I wanted something that would remind me that eventually I’m going to fail because I’m not perfect,” Castillo said.
Growing up, Castillo said he had always been focused on being the smartest in his class and the best in basketball. Now that he’s older, his enso has helped him realize that being the best is not always realistic.
Said Castillo: “What I’ve come to realize is that I can’t be a jack of all trades because then I’ll be the master of none.”

InclusiveU receives fundingProgram to help students with disabilities gets money from DoE
University given top tier award for research
Trauma research program accepts applications
By Sara Swann asst. news editor
Syracuse University was given on Monday the top tier award for research activity among all American universities with doctoral programs by the 2015 Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
SU moved from an R2 designa-tion — meaning a “higher research activity” — in 2010 to an R1 desig-nation in the most recent rankings, which are issued twice a decade, according to an SU News release.
The distinction is based on an evaluation of recent data that helps the Carnegie Classification analysts gauge research activity across other doctoral universities, according to the release. Research activity criteria includes factors
such as research and development expenditures, research staff and number of doctoral conferrals.
In the latest rankings, SU was one of 15 universities in the U.S. to move from an R2 designation into the top category, according to the release.
Liz Liddy, interim vice chan-
cellor and provost at SU, said in the release that this classification is a “powerful recognition” of the university’s efforts to grow and expand its research.
“We have already identified research and discovery as a key focus area in our academic strate-gic plan, and this is one more step in the right direction,” Liddy said in the release. “I am proud of my colleagues across all of the schools and colleges and look forward to many future accomplishments.”
Created by the Carnegie Foun-dation for the Advancement of Teaching, and first published in 1973, the Carnegie Classification is the industry standard for ranking institutions based on their research activity, according to the release.
The Carnegie Classification
identifies doctoral universities as institutions that awarded at least 20 research or scholarship doctor-ates in 2013-14, according to the release. This does not include pro-fessional practice doctoral degrees.
A total of 335 institutions were classified as doctoral this year, according to the release. In addi-tion to being ranked as R1 or R2, a university could also possibly receive the ranking of R3, or mod-erate research activity.
Peter Vanable, interim vice president for research at SU, said in the release that the university’s R1 ranking is a “strong affirma-tion of faculty scholarship.”
“It acknowledges the great work that our faculty are already doing,” Vanable said in the release.

The Lawrence B. Taishoff Center for Inclusive Higher Education at Syra-cuse University has been awarded a $2 million grant to further develop its InclusiveU program.
InclusiveU is an initiative to increase access to higher educa-tion for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The program at SU aims to become a model for other universities, said Beth Myers, director of the Taishoff Center.
The grant for InclusiveU is funded by the United States Department of Education’s Transi-tion and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Dis-abilities program, according to an SU News release.
The grant will go toward the development of programs and research for national use through the InclusiveU program, according to the release.
“There’s a small body of research that has really started looking at best practices,” Myers said.

The Undergraduate Trauma Research Training program — directed in part by Syracuse Uni-versity — is now accepting under-graduate student applications for participation in trauma-related research opportunities.
The training program is an ini-tiative led by the National Science Foundation Research Education for Undergraduates (REU). It
is aimed at improving access to undergraduate research experi-ences for groups typically under-represented — including veterans — in trauma-related research, according to an SU News release.
The program, which is a three-way collaboration between SU’s David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, the State Uni-versity of New York at Oswego and the State University of New York Upstate Medical University, is in its fifth year.
The program will be held from June 6-30 on the SU campus, according to the release. The deadline for applications is Feb. 28. Both veterans and non-veter-ans are invited to apply.
The summer intensive will include guest speakers, course-work and engagement in trauma research projects, said Karen Wolford, co-director of the pro-gram and coordinator of the interdisciplinary graduate cer-tificate program in trauma stud-
ies at SUNY Oswego, in an email. Participants also receive a $3,000 stipend for their work.
“This is an excellent research training experience for undergrad-uate students who want to go on to graduate study,” Wolford said.
She added that the program is vital in “broadening the understand-ing of interventions that will assist veterans who are recovering from posttraumatic stress symptoms.”

Labels enable problem of uninformed millennial voters
The Democratic presidential candi-dates fierce battle for the “progres-sive” label reveals the power of
political rhetoric in the fight for the leftward leaning millennial vote. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clin-ton’s razor thin victory in the Iowa caucus last week has proved that the Democratic nomination is sure to be more of a battle than many had originally predicted. In preparation for what is to be expected a series of close primaries, Clinton and Ver-mont Sen. Bernie Sanders have increased the heat, this time in the fight for the “pro-gressive” trademark. Not leaving a moment to rest following the Iowa caucus, Sanders took to Twitter to criticize Clinton’s adoption of the label “progressive,” tweeting, “You can be a moderate. You can be a progressive. But you cannot be a moderate and a progressive.” This statement, a reference to Clinton’s switch in the past months from proudly declaring herself a “moderate” to cham-pioning the term “progressive,” in what seems to be direct reaction to Sander’s rise in the polls, proved to touch a nerve in the Clinton campaign evident by her vehe-ment defense in the form of a Twitter feud followed by heated dispute in Thursday’s Democratic Debate. With so many more pertinent issues to discuss, why has the defining feature of the Democratic campaign been the tug-of-war over who deserves the “progressive” title? Due to the increasing uniformity in American politics, perhaps a result of the political polarization that has occurred since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, political labels including “progres-sive,” “moderate,” “liberal” and “conserva-tive” have the ability to define a politician’s platform in one word. Labels have proven to be an example of powerful political discourse that essentially brand a campaign by aligning a candidate with a political ideology, and, by doing so, substitutes for critical thinking. Because of this, their use is important in winning uninformed and undecided voters, which as we’ve learned from Iowa, will play a role moving forward in the election year.Hillary Clinton’s recent change of rhetoric demonstrates her fight to regain popular-ity among the leftward drifting liberals, especially millennials. Entrance polls from the Iowa caucus revealed that Sanders won 84 percent of voters under age 30 and 58 percent of those aged 30-44. Clinton has made it clear that “this shouldn’t be a debate about labels.” But, with the desperate image of an arrow pointed at her Twitter icon saying “I’m a progressive, and I want to get things done,” it’s obvious that she continues to campaign as a “progres-sive” in an effort to pander to young voters. If there is anything to learn from this election cycle, it is that the term “moderate” has become a label with pejorative connota-tions associated with overly cautious politi-cians who heed too closely to public opinion rather than their own moral standard. This has called Hillary’s past into question, as she has flip-flopped on major issues. As a New York state senator campaign-ing for president in 2008, Clinton has been historically “conservative” on many issues. She supported the Second Amend-ment, defended her Iraq War vote and stood against same-sex marriage and issu-ing driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants
— all positions the presidential hopeful has since swapped. This stresses the problematic nature of abstract political classifications because, by their very definition, they promote a one-size-fits-all image of a campaign to ideologies that have no precisely defined criteria. Even Sanders, who is strongly associated with the far left, has been criticized by self-pro-claimed progressives for not being aggressive enough on gun control legislation.
However, given that Clinton’s issues have not changed since September 2015 when she “plead guilty” to being a “moder-ate,” the wavering identity of the campaign demonstrates that viewing her agenda through either a “moderate” or “progres-sive” lens has the power to significantly influence how less attentive voters view her in ways that are unintentional to them. Some have argued that identifying with these words can help guide complacent vot-ers through the political process. “The majority of voters don’t pay atten-tion to the specific policies and agendas of candidates,” said Shana Gadarian, an assis-tant professor of political science in the Max-well School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. “Labels, therefore, act as a mental shortcut, allowing less atten-tive voters to get a sense of where candidates are on the political spectrum and understand their relationship to one another.” Political labels may be helpful or simply a distraction depending on the voter, and may not even have an effect on those who take the time to educate themselves on the issues. But the current general reliance on these descriptors highlights the larger issue of uninformed millennial voters, particu-larly because they are the ones these words have the potential to influence most. With young people being the most digi-tally connected generation, having access to news outlets in ways unprecedented even a decade ago, there is no reason that political labels should sway our vote. As a generation whose vote is a signifi-cant demographic, we must demonstrate that we dig deeper than surface rhetoric and seek out candidates’ policies rather than allow ourselves to be influenced by mere buzzwords.

THEO HORNIT’S NOT PERSONAL, IT’S BUSINESS
With each revision, Syracuse University’s academic integ-rity policy should preserve the opportunity for students to defend their actions in what is often an imperfect system. The Academic Integrity Pol-icy Review Advisory Committee has been working to update the university’s academic integrity protocol with the goal of having a revised procedure going into effect later this year. The current policy provides students with the sole option of a formal hearing, according to Academic Integrity Office’s web-site. But the revised guidelines will aim to eliminate hearings for students who have acknowl-edged they violated the policy and classify violations at three different levels: a formal letter of reprimand for level 1, academic probation for level 2 and suspen-sion or expulsion for level 3. And while these sanctions are a new concept created with the intention to ensure the pro-cesses are as efficient as possible in regard to time and resources, it is essential that those who shape the policy do not lose sight of the hearings as a necessary outlet for students to voice their defense argument. The importance of students having this outlet is amplified by the fact that the integrity system throughout SU is not uniform between professors, classes and departments on campus. Though unofficial, some professors on campus may leave assessing the extent of the plagiarism committed and what repercussions it warrants at their own discretion, while others may cite one instance of plagiarism as deserving of risk for expulsion.
When the sanctions come into play, is it imperative that the policy explicitly communicates what actions merit each level of consequence and that there is a clear understanding of this system for both faculty and stu-dents. Without this disclosure, what constitutes each degree of offense remains ambiguous and students may risk the loss of hav-ing the opportunity for a hearing due to a lack of understanding. As it stands now, the cur-rent integrity policy in place at SU has not been updated since the summer of 2011, and the 2011 version was only a modi-fied version of a policy created back in 2006. And while the advisory com-mittee is moving to maintain a modern approach that is aligned with the ways in which SU students work academically, a routine assessment of the policy should also aim address these lapses in consistency through-out operations from classroom to classroom. This steady evaluation is integral to the success of the policy, considering Margaret Usdansky, the director of the Academic Integrity Office, said that since 2011, the office’s case-load has increased from roughly 150 reported violations per academic year to about 250. These updates will central-ize university integrity policies and ensure that they are being upheld on university grounds with the most cohesion possible. But, even as revisions are made, the value of students having the opportunity to voice their argu-ment remains should remain intact in all updates made to the policy rather than being lost in the shuffle.

Café thrives by embracing local culture
With yet another new shop opening up in downtown, Syracuse’s
Café Kubal’s entrepreneurial grind has made the company more popular than it’s ever been. The news comes after the announcement that the business will open up a location in the newly renovated Hotel Syracuse, bringing the budding coffee empire’s total number of shops to five and creating 10 more local jobs, according to Syracuse.com. Café Kubal’s business strat-egy of tastefully capitalizing on Syracuse-oriented branding and strategic choice of location are the roots of the company’s prolif-eration throughout Syracuse and neighboring townships, proving that it’s possible for a small, local business to organically “make it.” One of the most interesting points about Kubal’s expansion is its choice of venues, considering that in both past and future, they are centered around key Syracuse locations. By making its mark at the The Hotel Syracuse, Marshall Square Mall and the newest loca-tion in the new Creekwalk Com-mons, across from the National Grid headquarters, Café Kubal is successfully integrating itself into Syracuse culture. By making its brand synony-mous with Syracuse landmarks, Kubal has differentiated itself from other companies by simply blending in. You go to the historic Syracuse hotel, Kubal is there. University students, many of whom are see-ing Syracuse for the first time, have a Kubal within walking distance of campus just past Marshall Street. The newest café downtown is even going as far as to mimic the locally popular Art Deco-style of the National Grid building. The latter being the clearest evidence that Kubal
is making a conscious effort to become an integral part of the city while driving revenue. This gives Kubal an edge in competing with other coffee giants — including Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Tim Hortons and a few other local, independent coffee shops — by creating a business-savvy blend of uniqueness and familiarity that cannot be found in other corporate locales.
Patrons to Kubal certainly agree with this and have a reason to keep coming back. Syracuse University junior and French major Grace Hildreth explained that Kubal “is a nice quaint place to relax and meet with people,” a primary reason why the Kubal continues to have her busi-ness and can stand toe to toe with its busier neighbor Starbucks. This emphasis on standing out in the market has been a nearly decade-long project since the café gained early attention in the city as they were one of the first venues to bring a special brewing technique, the pour-over brewing method, to central New York. And by building off success in Syracuse, Kubal has been able to expand past the “Salt City,” an important marker. In addition to their daily onsite operations, the café has
begun selling their special roast in wholesale packages all over the city and county appearing in a variety of local restaurants and grocers. The fact that this coffee is even viable in a wholesale market shows that the café has a strong core branding in a quality product that can be marketed to Syracuse consumers. In this way, the local location brands the product and the local product successfully reinforces the location. It is no secret that Syracuse is packed with coffee shops, both large and small. But Kubal has navigated this successfully brand-ing venture by taking the high road and fully embracing a source of beans that is both responsible and just. The aptly named Fair Trade Movement focuses on cutting out the middle man of the coffee trade and returning the savings to the underpaid growers. And by taking this extra step for a positive view in the public and college student eye, Kubal has been able to stand out in a crowded market. By remaining Syracuse-conscious throughout the chain of production, Café Kubal provides us with a prime example of all the right things a local business should do to succeed by striving to create a unique product that stands on its own among competitors. From the café itself, to a whole-sale product for people’s homes and even offering classes on their brewing method, Kubal’s newest shop is proof that the coffee shop is here to stay by engaging with the community on multiple fronts — proving that it’s possible for local businesses to thrive in recovering economies like Syracuse.

VP discusses international student enrollment increaseBy Nina Leeds staff writer
Student Association Vice President Jane Hong discussed recently released statistics about international enrollment at Syracuse University and the Department of Public Safety at the group’s Monday meeting.
At the meeting in Maxwell Auditorium, SA President Aysha Seedat stressed the impor-tance of SU students taking a campus climate survey that begins Tuesday. The assembly also elected four new representatives.
Hong discussed a recently released report that indicated that in the past year SU saw a 143.21% increase in international
student enrollment. Hong said it will be important to increase
the resources available to these students, and pointed out that the university’s upcom-ing campus climate survey is only being translated into Spanish.
DPS statistics were also recently released, and in the 2015-16 fiscal year, $46,826 was spent on programs related to DPS and SU students and 1,700 students were served, Hong said.
Hong said she hopes that in the future, SA will be able to help advertise more of these services so that more students can take advantage of those resources.
Previous to Hong’s discussion on statis-tics, Seedat spoke about the campus climate survey, which will be disseminated to stu-dents via email through the Division of Stu-dent Affairs from Tuesday until March 11.
All of the results from this survey will be published online.
“(The university) really wants to under-stand how everyone is feeling on campus on
all things related to campus life,” Seedat said. Officials from Rankin & Associates Con-
sulting, a consulting firm, have been craft-ing the survey since the summer, Seedat said, and an SA representative helped with the process.
The climate survey is a result of a rec-ommendation made by the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Sexual Violence Prevention, Education and Advocacy. The 14-member SU Climate Assessment Planning Commit-tee containing students, faculty and staff also had major input.
The survey will address student concerns stemming from student stress levels to sexu-al assault issues, Seedat said.
During the fall 2016 semester, a report
will be compiled and released with the result of the climate survey. The report will inform the development of strategic action of the university that will be implemented in the 2016-17 school year, Seedat added.
“If there is something that you wish you had known about Syracuse (before coming to SU) ... this is your way of telling potential new students,” Seedat said.
Additionally, Hong said she hopes to launch in April the SU bike share program, which is still in its planning stage and would allow students free access to bicycles for at least a 24-hour period.
Also during Monday’s meeting, the SA assembly elected four new assembly repre-sentatives. Those elected included James Longo from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and For-estry, Alan Nguyen and Rachel Cathie from the College of Arts and Sciences and Eddie Devino from the College of Engineering and Computer Science.
are as fair and effective as possible.” Usdansky said the current academic
integrity policy has been in place since sum-mer of 2011. The 2011 version was an updat-ed version of a policy created back in 2006.
She added that since 2011, the office’s caseload has increased from roughly 150 reported violations per academic year to
about 250. That is a 67 percent increase. “Faculty and instructors have become
accustomed to the centralized reporting sys-tem,” Usdansky said. “With more reports and more hearings, we now need more flexibil-ity and efficiency in our procedures — better ways to handle simpler cases more quickly.”
Proposals for revising the current policy were developed by the university-wide Aca-demic Integrity Policy Review Advisory Committee, Usdansky said. The committee was chaired by Ramesh Raina, a biology pro-fessor, and Jay Henderson, an engineering professor. The committee included faculty, students and senior administrators from every college, Usdansky said.
She added that the goal is to have a new, revised policy go into effect in either the summer or fall of this year.

which has more than one billion adherents in nations ranging from Indonesia to Morocco and beyond, Niebuhr said.
People who have not thought very much about Islam tend to relate the religion with crises in the Middle East, he said, and since media coverage of the Middle East tends to involve expressions of political Islam and extremist organizations that claim to act in the name of the religion, people “never have a chance to sort of get ahead of the story and
see what’s in broader context.” Niebuhr said it’s the nature of the news to
follow clashes between nations and armed groups such as the Islamic State, or ISIS. But he added that always seeing violence in the media doesn’t provide a way to understand how the violence began, to whom it is limited and the world of Islam beyond certain com-munities in the Middle East.
The media is often seen as a watchdog for government, said Ahmed Malik, Muslim chaplain at Hendricks Chapel, but the media should also be acting as a watchdog of what society is getting itself into, he said.
Malik said the lack of honesty among some news outlets that report about Mus-lims can be harmful to college-aged and younger Muslims and non-Muslims. He recalled a news network segment that fea-tured a so-called “expert” on Islamic law discussing what, according to Sharia law, should be done with the baby of the couple that was behind the San Bernardino attack.
The non-Muslim expert said the child could not go to a non-Muslim family, Malik said, in an attempt to show the detrimental effects of Sharia, rather than having an hon-est conversation about the societal, political and psychological factors involved in decid-ing where the child should go.
“(Young Muslims) see that, and some of them are normal, run-of-the-mill Americans who haven’t even read their own religion, and now they’re scared about their religion,” Malik said of the media portrayal of Islam on young Muslims. “Even though they might like to practice it, they might be afraid to practice it or they might not know what to say.”
The media portrayal of Islam is also det-rimental to non-Muslims because it’s com-parable to indoctrination, he said, and it’s not easy for busy college students to say, “’OK, let me go out and objectively find out what Islam really is.’”
Instead, Malik said, non-Muslims may leave with an explanation on the religion that’s being shown on TV.
Another harmful media depiction of Muslims is the difference in the way the
media portrays white mass shooters and Muslim mass shooters, said Sabreen Mere, a junior policy studies major at SU.
“If you look at white shooters who are mass shooters typically in the United States, that is a form of domestic terrorism and those people tend to have mental issues,” Mere said.
“But if you brought forward somebody with a brown face, they immediately think, oh, terrorism or ISIS or Muslim,” she con-tinued. “So it’s really the label that they’re putting on these people and it has nothing to do with who they are individually.”
Mere said she was subject to Islamopho-bic remarks before college. When she was 18, a man approached her and asked her a series of questions: “’If the cash register opens, is it going to explode? Are you part of ISIS? Are you part of al-Qaeda?’” she recalled.
Several other Muslim students at SU dis-cussed their experiences with Islamophobia — from being called a “bomb threat” to “Osama’s (bin Laden) cousin” to “Taliban” to “Saddam’s (Hussein) brother.”
But most of these students said the experi-ences haven’t necessarily translated to their time at SU. One student, Abdali, said she was called a “bomb threat” by a floormate her freshman year, but others said their encoun-ters with Islamophobia took place off campus.
“I think it’s not really just a Muslim thing; I think it’s a diversity thing,” Abdali said. “I think that it is an issue if there’s one person of color in an entire classroom.”

The World Health Organiza-tion declared a global public health emergency on Feb. 1 due to the spread of the
Zika virus. This is the fourth time the WHO has taken this kind of action — the previous time being for Ebola in 2014, according to The Washington Post.
Zika has been linked to a birth defect called microcephaly, which causes
severe underdevelopment in the brain. Brazil has 4,000 suspected cases of microcephaly, according to The Wash-ington Post, with 270 confirmed with evidence of an infection.
The Daily Orange spoke with Sarah Lane, a professor of public health and anthropology at Syracuse University, and David Larsen, an assistant professor of public health at SU who specializes in the epidemiology of infectious diseases, about the virus and its global effects. The Daily Orange: What does the virus mean for global public health?
Sandra Lane: We have a global emer-gency. The World Health Organiza-tion called it (on Feb. 1), and it’s quite frightening. When average people get it who are not pregnant, it’s a minor disease: they get it and then get over it. Although, it can persist in semen so it can be sexually transmitted. It was first identified in 1947 in Uganda, but it didn’t spread that much. We don’t exact-ly know how it got to Brazil, but people think it might’ve come in the blood of a traveler during the 2014 World Cup, and the mosquitos that spread it, Aedes aegypti, live in Brazil. David Larsen: It’s getting a lot of attention, which is good. The Aedes aegypti spreads other diseases like dengue and yellow fever, and it’s very hard to control, so people paying more attention is definitely a good thing. The Zika virus itself is relatively mild compared to other mosquito-borne ill-nesses, but the cases of microcephaly are troubling. The D.O.: Who is at risk the most? S.L.: It looks like this is a new disease to most of the populations experiencing it, including Brazil, and when there’s a new disease, it can affect everyone in the population. Everybody includes pregnant women, and apparently when they get the disease — probably during a specific time during the pregnancy — it can cause a baby’s brain to not grow as well, and they’re born with microceph-
aly. It’s really awful, and many of those babies will die. The ones that don’t die, well, they haven’t grown up yet so we don’t really know, but they will be very developmentally delayed. The D.O.: As of now, the 2016 Summer Olympics will still be held in Rio. Do you agree with this decision? S.L.: I imagine they’ll go through with hosting the Olympics, and there are some new mosquito things coming along that will protect people. They’re still in the pre-production phase and these will be quite good things, but all we have right now is DEET. You can also be tested to see if you’ve developed anti-bodies. I personally, however, would tell my daughter not to go. D.L.: I think it will be fine. There’s some relatively expensive interventions to control the Aedes aegypti, and one is to release genetically modified mosqui-tos that can’t procreate. Then they mate with the female Aedes aegypti and the offspring can’t survive. This is rather expensive, but it also crashes mosquito populations in a very effective manner, and I expect them to be doing some of these types of interventions. They are not sustainable in the long term, but they can be used to control the mosqui-tos, at least for the Olympics. The D.O.: What can be done to keep Zika from continuing to spread? S.L.: What we can do about it as a world is think about dealing with the
mosquitos. We also have to think about developing a vaccine, but that’s going to take some time — people estimate it could take a decade. The third thing is that women who are in the reproductive ages in Brazil, between 14 and 25, have been advised not to have babies right now. That’s hard for a whole country, and I don’t know if they have that much access to family planning in many of the poorer parts of Brazil. The D.O.: In most Latin American countries, abortion is illegal. Is there any chance countries might change their policies, given the connection between Zika and microcephaly? S.L.: There are discussions now about “would this change policies about abor-tion,” but I can’t say. I respect people who have different opinions about this, but it may really cause people to discuss it seriously. We have had four cases in the United States of babies with microceph-aly whose mothers had traveled to Latin America. For now, we will have to have more resources to care for babies who grow up with developmental disabilities.

— more specifically, the biomarkers of post-traumatic stress disorder — are a main research focus of this year’s program.
Brooks Gump, the program’s principal investigator, said the feedback given by partic-ipants year after year is “extremely positive.”
“We keep doing (the program) primarily because of the feedback we get,” he said.
The intensive usually receives about 110 applicants, Gump added. The process is highly competitive, though; only between eight and 10 applicants are chosen out of the original pool.
“We try to get those who have a strong inter-est and background in research,” Gump said.
Some of the courses offered during the month-long program will include Research Methods & Statistics, Neurobiology of Trau-ma and Cultural and Ethnic differences in PTSD, said Ivan Castro, project manager of the program, in an email.
“The courses are not taught in a lecture and test format, but rather in a way so each student is an active participant in the con-versation,” he added.
When the month is over, the work will still continue. The program is technically structured to span a full year, and students are expected to continue their research fol-lowing the completion of the summer ses-sion, according to the release.
Students will work under the mentorship of the REU faculty in the fall 2016 semester
and present their final research at a national or international conference in spring 2017, according to the release.
The program has been successful every year in securing student exposure at confer-ences, Wolford said.
Castro added that this spring, five stu-dents from last summer’s intensive will be presenting at a symposium to the Eastern Psychological Association’s annual meeting.
Past and ongoing research projects include the design and conduction of an online mindfulness-based stress reduction study for veterans with posttraumatic stress symptoms, and the development of a related mobile application, Wolford said.
Faculty from SU and the other two par-ticipating universities contribute to the
research mentoring and administration of the program, which was just renewed for three more years, Wolford said.
Each school provides “conference travel funds, research supply funds, research train-ing funds, money for guest speakers and money for administrating the program, as well as for housing for the students,” she added.
Wolford said she believes this program is important because it allows for much needed insight and perspective from veter-ans themselves.
“We rely on the veterans on the research teams to educate us and make sure that we are asking the right questions and gaining new insights into what will best help this population going forward,” Wolford said.

Part of what the Taishoff Center is doing with InclusiveU is taking principles of universal design for instruction, and also principles of inclusive education at both elementary and secondary levels and changing and applying them to higher edu-cation, Myers said.
“(That) traditionally hasn’t been done, particularly because this group has been long excluded from higher ed,” Myers said.
Universal design, Myers said, is the idea of helping faculty members design their classes so they reach the maximum diversity of users, allowing everyone to learn materials.
InclusiveU helps students give their pro-fessors a briefing about themselves in terms of what their strengths and needs are in a classroom, she added.
Since its opening two years ago, stu-dents have been able to apply to InclusiveU
through a separate application process, Myers said. Once they are accepted, students can take up to two courses each semester and will attend SU for two to four years. There are currently 27 students in the pro-gram with the majority commuting from the surrounding Syracuse community.
Students in InclusiveU are able to partici-pate in the Peer-to-Peer Project, in which they are matched with matriculated stu-dents, Myers said.
“They are getting a very good academic experience, but they weren’t really getting a good socially inclusive experience,” said Dee Katovitch, director of the Peer-to-Peer Project.
InclusiveU students are partnered with one or more matriculated students to improve their engagement socially and on campus, Katovitch said. The students go out for weekly coffee dates, attend events on campus and sometimes become workout partners.
Matriculated students have suggested that InclusiveU students live on campus so
that they can more easily be a part of the university’s social life — an initiative that Myers is currently working on.
InclusiveU students audit classes. While they still attend classes, do the work required and receive a grade, students do not earn college credit, Myers said.
“Syracuse University is a fabulously inclu-sive place and has been really wonderful to our students, and we’ve had many faculty mem-bers that are very willing to make adjustments to their assignments so that our students can access the curriculum,” Myers said.
Students are able to take classes in what-ever academic area interests them. Rather than receiving a university degree, the stu-dents will earn a certificate of completion from InclusiveU, she added.
During a student’s last year at SU they have the option to do another year of courses or participate in Project SEARCH, in which the student will spend the academic year completing three 10-week internships on
the SU campus, Myers said. Myers said InclusiveU wants to work on
making sure their students can be indepen-dent and support themselves.
“Our goal is for 100 percent of our stu-dents to graduate here and get full-time jobs with real pay,” Myers said.
Brianna Shults, internship and employ-ment coordinator for SU, is responsible for coordinating internships on campus as well as teaching students about job readiness skills including time management, dress code and communication.
Students have held internships across campus, from the mailroom to the bookstore, and everyone they have partnered with so far has been very receptive, Shults said.
“It’s really nice to see the integration and how everyone can work together even though things may be done differently and they have to make accommodations for stu-dents,” Shults said.

top chefNew executive chef applies vast culinary experience in dining halls
PARVINDER SINGH began his tenure as the executive chef at Syracuse University in January. Hailing from India, Singh doesn’t just consider food to be suste-nance, but a form of entertainment and something to be shared. He hopes to bring some of his past experience to SU. connor martin staff photographer
By Rohan Thakorestaff writer
While Syracuse University students have different backgrounds and experi-ences, dining hall food is
something many share.The challenge is not only to feed a
large student population, but to cater to their tastes, trends and cravings.
It’s a tall order for anybody. Parvinder Singh, the new executive chef for Syra-cuse University Food Services as of this semester, is ready for the task. With two decades of experience in the university food industry, Singh is grounded in his connection with students and staff.
“You’re not just serving one neigh-borhood, or one socioeconomic class,” Singh said. “I get to serve a population full of different people, with differ-
ent perspectives on life, different value systems and different attitudes.”
This understanding is a result of a lifelong passion for food, he said. Grow-ing up in New Delhi, India, Singh was
surrounded by street food and vendors that laid the foundation for his future culinary ambitions.
Bustling markets gleamed with rich colors of produce and effused aromatics that captivated the senses.
“The smell of food being roasted, fried, sautéed coming from every cor-ner,” Singh said of the market’s atmo-sphere. “The colors and textures of the produce, and smells produced by the food vendors were so intoxicating.”

SU student raises awareness for cancer through parties By Rebecca Plautstaff writer
To raise awareness and funds to fight cancer, most nonprofit orga-nizations host events such as walks, conventions and promotional sales where proceeds go towards cancer research. But one Syracuse Uni-versity student and her family had an idea for something more fun: throwing full-fledged parties.
When sophomore Claire Green-baum lost her mother to ovarian cancer six years ago, she, her father and two siblings wanted to do something to remember her. They aimed to raise awareness of all can-
cers to honor their family member as well as other families affected by cancer. To tackle cancer in a new way, they looked to Greenbaum’s mother’s favorite things.
“My mother loved to party,” Greenbaum said. “We wanted to raise money in a fun way.”
The organization got its name, F*ck Cancer, after Greenbaum’s mother said those exact words when she was asked by a nurse how she
was feeling post-lung biopsy. That moment was pivotal for the family, and Greenbaum said it encapsulated the family’s four-year experience.
F*ck Cancer holds parties as fundraisers to really stick it to the disease. On Tuesday, Feb. 9, Green-baum will be throwing Syracuse’s first F*ck Cancer party at DJ’s on the Hill at 10 p.m.
The Greenbaum family launched its first F*ck Cancer
party in November 2010 in their home city of Montreal. Three hundred people came together wearing F*ck Cancer T-shirts to support the Greenbaums and anyone else affected by cancer.
Since then, the Greenbaum family collaborated with a Vancouver-based organization also called F*ck Cancer, and together they’ve thrown parties in Los Angeles, New York City, Miami

much more than just sustenance — it became a source of entertainment. From then, his sentimentality toward food was formed, creating “a depth of meaning” during his childhood that he’d like to incorporate into his job today.
“I’d like to see that reverence revived,” he said.
After attending culinary school, Singh worked and traveled extensively across Europe and Southeast Asia, drawing upon influences from places like Germany, Eng-land and Brussels.
“More than anything, it has given me inspiration and courage,” Singh said of travel. “You have to have both of these to act creatively. Travel is one of the easiest ways to access these creative emotions.”
His decision to come to the United States was fueled in part by this desire to expand his perceptions. Singh, a Sikh, also said that it was unsafe for people of his faith in India at that time.
When he moved to the U.S., he continued his education in culinary arts and began exploring the array of cuisines found in America. He’s worked in at least three states — including Massachusetts, Vermont and Oklahoma, but it took some time to adjust to the American way of life.
“I did not speak much English, had very little money and did not understand the cultural norms here,” Singh said. “I had a lot of things to adjust to all at once.”
After a couple years living in America, Singh was able to work in hotels and restau-rants, eventually owning his own restaurant. This gave him experience in menu planning and concept design, which has since helped to guide him at the university level.
David George, director of SUFS, said in an email that Parvinder has made an impact already.
“He is enthusiastic about food, and has tested and introduced several new items to our residential dining centers,” George said.
Singh said he’s hoping to add more plant-based, healthy items to SU dining centers. Last week, he tried out a grain bar — a concept that’s similar to the stir fry station.
Mark Tewksbury, assistant director of food services, echoed many of the same feel-ings that George expressed, saying it’s been a pleasure to work with Singh so far.
“(He) has been working closely with our cooking staff to create excitement around his new recipes and ideas,” Tewksbury said. “I’m certain students will notice the impact he will have on their dining experience.”
The role of the executive chef is also more than just testing recipes or cooking to Singh. He describes chefs as “artists, consum-ers, creators, shoppers, businesspersons, accountants, nurturers, chemists, nutri-tionists, liaisons, entertainers, supporters and community builders.”
Singh also looks at the bigger picture. Influenced by the “genuine quality that comes from the natural resources of the earth,” Singh is motivated to include more local agriculture into the dining halls.
He wants to work with the local farmers in the central New York area so students can have access to the freshest and healthi-est ingredients available. He said his three years working at Cornell University intro-duced him to the fertile grounds of the area. He also wants to continue controlling SU’s food waste and composting so that the uni-versity is more sustainable.
But ultimately, Singh wants to bring new options to the food served at SU. Singh said it’s an honor to be at SU and recognizes the growth that both he and the community will go through in this transition.
“Change is that never-ending constant that we all love and fear,” Singh said.
and in various Canadian college towns.“It’s cool because even though it’s just
like a regular party, there have been so many instances where I’ve been at a F*ck Cancer party where people just come up to you and share their stories,” Greenbaum said.
Greenbaum highlights the importance of F*ck Cancer being an accessible and enjoy-able way for younger individuals to show their awareness for cancer.
“What sets F*ck Cancer apart from other cancer awareness programs is that it gives the younger generation an opportunity to give back,” Greenbaum said. “I know for most organizations and campaigns, it’s mostly directed to the older generation to donate money. This way, it’s not that expensive and people can get a fun experience out of it.”
The ticket into the F*ck Cancer party at DJ’s on Tuesday isn’t a paper ticket, but rath-er a F*ck Cancer T-shirt which can be bought for $20. Each shirt comes in a different color representing a type of cancer, like pink for breast cancer or orange for leukemia, creat-
ing a rainbow inside the party.To cut down on the work, Greenbaum got
help from a friend, Nicole Engelman, with T-shirts and spreading the word.
“I know how important F*ck Cancer is to Claire and her family and I was so happy I got to help in any way I could,” Engelman said. “It’s a great feeling when you do some-thing that’s bigger than yourself.”
For past events, Greenbaum usually helped her family with selling tickets and promoting the event, but this time she took charge of the whole event. She’s watched her sister coordinate parties in Los Angeles, which she does for a full-time job, and has been able to learn from what she has done.
All proceeds from F*ck Cancer events go towards programs that focus on early detec-tion, prevention and psychosocial support as well as funding for screening in some of the biggest hospitals in North America.
Said Greenbaum: “Every time I am able to help out with F*ck Cancer, even if it’s some-thing little or something bigger like this Syra-cuse party, I feel like I’m doing something for my mom, and I feel like her legacy is still alive.”

At couture fashion shows, extravagant and often costume-like garments dance down the runways. Equally
over-the-top hairstyles and creative makeup looks tend to accompany the high-fashion ensembles. While these elaborate beauty styles may seem way too ridiculous to ever imitate, the average runway-admirer can still recreate these trends in less dramatic ways.
A common theme in this year’s shows was the return of the headband. Elie Saab went for silver metallic jeweled pieces that resem-bled fashionable tiaras on his models. At Giambattista Valli, nearly every model was adorned with a thin, plain black headband to accessorize their pulled-back hairstyles.
To try out this trend for everyday life in 2016, avoid channeling a high school Blair Waldorf and stay away from giant bow-and-flower headbands. Stick to simpler thin bands à la Giambattista Valli for everyday occasions to add sleekness to your hair.
On the opposite end of the spectrum,
several couture shows avoided sleekness in favor of wild and crazy hairstyles. Models at Jean Paul Gaultier embraced huge, amped-up ‘dos that took natural hair to the next level. At Schiaparelli, almost every hairstyle was identical, marked with enormous, crimped pigtails.
These styles are a bit more difficult to translate into normal life, but the idea of crimping might be making a comeback. If you want to be a trendsetter and get on top of this revival, try crimping just one section on the side of your hair, and then pull all of your hair into a ponytail for a cool, textured take.
Couture shows take their makeup to extremes as well. Several designers showed off smoky black eyeliner and shadow looks, which aren’t things that are usually
expected for spring. At Giorgio Armani Privé, a line of eyeliner across the top of the lid mirrored the standard line along the lash line for a mod ‘40s look. At Chanel, makeup artist Tom Pecheux created dramatic eye looks with three-pronged eyeliner — a long, wavy line on the top of the lid, a normal winged line on the lash line and a long, wavy line under the eye to balance the top. At Dice Kayek, every model sported mime-like eye-liner: nearly fully rimmed eyes that ended in a teardrop-like vertical line under the eye.
At Atelier Versace, makeup artist Pat McGrath created a sultry black shadow look, continuing the trend seen with the other designers.
Evidently, black is back for spring in the form of smudged shadows and graphic liner. Try the look for a night out by accentuat-ing your normal winged liner with a black shadow layer that extends the wings, or add an extra line of black for a fun twist.
And at the other end of the spectrum,
there was Maison Margiela. Arguably the most extravagant and couture-like of every show, this makeup concept was full of glitter, color, stars reminiscent of David Bowie. While the first 12 looks in the show were minimal and barefaced, the looks that followed were intense and futuristic. One model wore bright violet lipstick, and another model’s lips shined in metallic silver. Several looks included star or lip appliques on one eye only. Celestial influ-ences came out when a model walked the runway with a face completely mapped out in star constellations.
While these extreme looks seem out-of-this-world, they may be paving the way for the future of beauty. Don’t worry — a little sparkle never killed anyone.

STRETCHTHE RULES
Wearing leggings doesn’t mean dressing like a slob
Whoever said leggings aren’t pants clearly never had an 8 a.m. lecture to get to. Leggings are effortless, yet edgy, comfortable, yet cool. And now that it’s officially no longer a fashion faux pas to wear your leggings outside the gym, they’ve become more of a college staple than Top Ramen.
SPORTY SPICETake leggings back to their roots with this athletic-inspired look. Throw on a cropped sweatshirt and a plain snap-back to channel some 90s-meets-Kylie Jenner flare, then slip on a pair of your favorite sneakers, like these gold metal-lic ones, which are perfect for adding a pop of chic, sleek color. If you want to put an extra sporty twist on your look, try swapping your plain black pair for some varsity stripes. You’ll feel like a star athlete without ever setting foot on the court. Plus, the vertical stripes are sure to elongate your legs — score!
(LOL) Lots of Layers For those all-too-common days when it falls below freezing, every Syracuse native knows the key to confronting the cold is layering. Wear a thick button-down — this one’s denim but flannel would be another equally adorable option — underneath a chunky wool sweater to bring the heat. Throw a patterned blanket scarf over your shoul-ders and step into some stylin’ suede booties to complete this prep-meets-boho look. Don’t sweat about the outfit being a bit bulky on top, your leggings will keep you and your stems looking super slim, sleet or shine!
LEATHER LOVIN’If there’s one thing that leather jackets are good at, it ’s making any and every outfit look put together — and pairing one with your leggings is no exception. To pull off this casually cool look, wear your leather jacket over a basic turtleneck top. Lastly, lace up your combat boots to bring out your inner biker chick. Trust me when I say that your leggings have never looked so edgy. If you’re feeling a little extra daring, try donning a black leather pair à la Gigi Hadid.
COZY CHICCozy comes in many shapes and sizes, so ditch that old frumpy pullover and replace it with an on-trend ribbed top, which not only accentuates your curves in all the right places, but keeps you super snug all day long. However, if you’re still missing the irreplaceably cozy and baggy feel of your fave ‘Cuse sweatshirt, layer on a soft, puffy bomber jacket that seems to be the latest wardrobe staple for many a stylish celebrity. A thick-knit beanie and some shearlinglined boots are the perfect finishing touches to this outfit.

Nick Mariano didn’t feel comfortable at midfield even after practicing there throughout the fall. He spent all but three days in Syracuse over Winter Break to work out, but still felt unstable. With three weeks left until the season, he was still learning.
Nineteen days before Syracuse’s season opener against Siena, which will come on Saturday, the new position felt more natural.
“For some reason I just got really com-fortable with the offense and defense,” Mariano said of the turning point of his preseason adjustments. “Obviously I’m still a little shaky on defense but offensive-ly I thought I was starting to click better and starting to know my role.”
Mariano said he hasn’t played much at midfield since he was in sixth grade in 2007, when Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable” was No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and just months before the first iPhone would be released. Throughout middle school, throughout high school and when he led Massachusetts the past two seasons with 51 goals and 30 assists, all he played was attack.
Since transferring to Syracuse, Mari-ano has shown to coaches the offensive prowess to contribute right away, but he’s still learning how to stick with opposing midfielders on rides after turnovers and play defense.
“That’s one of the things we’ll work on,” SU head coach John Desko said. “We’d like him by the end of the season to be capable (on defense), but for now, we’re focusing on getting him off the field as quick as possible.”
While Mariano is working out the kinks at midfield, Desko said he could also see time at attack and has been practicing at both spots leading up to the season. At attack, Mariano developed a niche for can-ning goals with lefty rips from just beyond goal-line extended. As he’d curl around from behind the net, he’d slip the ball into tight windows.
Midfielder Tim Barber said he saw improvement from Mariano throughout January as he developed other moves. Barber said Mariano appears less hesi-tant to shoot and has been working on his new skills.
“That just gives him the confidence to know he can shoot from the outside and shoot on the run,” Barber said, “which is a lot different from what he’s seen in the past at UMass.”
In a scrimmage against No. 10 Brown on Saturday, Mariano caught a pass near the top of the restraining box. He wound up with the stick in his left hand and fired a shot into the top left corner of the goal.
It was his first and only goal in SU’s three preseason scrimmages, but, if only for just one play, provided a glimpse at the offensive firepower he can bring to the Orange.
Mariano is just the next player to follow a trend of Syracuse attacks converting to midfield. Two years ago, Derek Maltz and Billy Ward moved to midfield. Last year, Nicky Galasso scored 45 points from the midfield, the most on SU from someone outside of the starting attack line.
A player with the dodging skills of an attack could take advantage of being guard-ed by a short stick instead of a long pole.
“Hopefully it stays that way the rest
of the season and I still have success,” Mariano said of being defended by short sticks. “It’s nice knowing I don’t have to get guarded by the No. 1 guy and get slid to every time I touch the ball.”
As of now, Mariano’s switch to midfield is still a work in progress, but his offense isn’t the problem.
And while he hadn’t started feeling comfortable defensively until three weeks before the season starts, he’s turning the corner just in time.
“It was a big learning curve,” Mariano said. “… I think I’m starting to adjust each week, and I’m trying to get better every day and just help the team as best I can.”

After back-to-back losses to Louisville and Pittsburgh toward the end of January, Florida State has reeled off four consecutive wins head-ing into Thursday’s game against Syracuse.
The Seminoles (16-7, 6-5 Atlantic Coast) are tied with the Orange (16-8, 6-5) in the middle of the conference standings and will visit the Carrier Dome at 7 p.m. to spell SU from reaching double-digit off days since its win over Virginia Tech last Tuesday.
Syracuse is on a streak of its own, having won three consecutive games while allowing an average of just 61 points over that span.
“The defense is as good as it’s been,” FSU head coach Leonard Hamilton said of
Syracuse on Monday’s ACC coaches’ tele-conference. “One of the top defensive teams in the league.”
The Seminoles are fourth in the ACC in points per game during league play. FSU posts an average of 75.5 per contest and its high-powered offense will match up against the third-best defense in the conference in the Orange (64.3 point per game allowed in ACC play).
Hamilton has five first-year rotation
players at his disposal, two of which lead the team in scoring. Freshman Malik Beasley is fourth in the conference with 17.3 points per game and freshman Dwayne Bacon chips in 16.2 points per contest.
“They got so many guys that can score,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said on the teleconference. “They’ve got tremendous offensive talent.”
Ten Seminole players see an average of over 10 minutes per game with no single player averaging more than 30.
They also have seven players grabbing over three rebounds per contest and 10 players shooting more than 42 percent from the field.
Despite the youth on his hands, Hamilton has made it mesh with Beasley and Bacon at
the forefront. “It’s a challenge any time you try to inte-
grate that many first-year players into your rotation,” Hamilton said.
“I think they’ve got three guys that are going to be first-round draft picks,” Boeheim said.
Since SU’s head coach returned from his suspension, the Orange is 6-2. It stifled one of the nation’s best offenses just over a week ago in a 15-point win against Notre Dame. Up against another of the ACC’s top scoring teams, Syracuse will have to reach into its defensive arsenal once again to continue its hot streak.
“Coach Boeheim has come back with this team and he’s rejuvenated them,” Hamilton said, “and they’re playing awfully well.”

Following Louisville’s self-imposed post-season ban on Friday, the Atlantic Coast Conference has revamped the format for the conference tournament scheduled from March 8-12 at the Verizon Center in Wash-ington, D.C.
The top four teams will still receive double-byes, but now, teams No. 5-10 will receive single byes. Had Louisville still been eligible, only teams finishing fifth through ninth would receive single byes.
Previously, there would have been three opening-round games, between teams fin-ishing 10th through 15th on Tuesday, March 8. Now, there will just be two, between teams finishing 11th through 14th.
The ACC also had to adjust the confer-ence tournament last season when Syracuse placed a postseason ban on itself and sat out
the tournament. Syracuse (16-8, 6-5 ACC) currently sits
tied for ninth place in the conference with Florida State (16-7, 6-5), who the Orange hosts on Thursday night.
Louisville (19-5, 8-3) is in second place in the conference behind North Carolina (19-4, 8-2).
Here’s a look at the full ACC standings:
[email protected] | @pschweds
“I have no comment.” His mother said, “I have to decline.” When Boeheim was asked about what had changed from then to now, he avoided any sort of explanation.
“He has not performed well in game situ-ations,” Boeheim said. “He has not been able to get it done on the court. Frank Howard has moved ahead of him and that’s where it stands right now.”
It leaves one to wonder what the emo-tional toll is on Joseph, a player who started in 30 of SU’s 31 games last year. A player that was the No. 9 point guard recruit in the country according to ESPN the year before that. After games, when every other scholar-
ship player gets hounded with television cameras and tape recorders, Joseph sits by his locker and waits to leave.
His statistics aren’t representative of the expectations that were placed on him. When he has played, Joseph has made head-scratching mistakes. He dribbled into no-man’s land and made errant passes or attempted impossible shots. It’s hard to say whether he deserves another chance. It’s hard to say if he got one to begin with.
But it’s impossible to know if it’s over. It’s impossible to know if he’ll play next season, or if he’d even wants to come back. Michael Gbinije and Trevor Cooney are both graduating, but Howard will likely be coming back.
The last time Joseph played more minutes than Howard was more than a
month ago, when the latter sat out the game because of sickness. Joseph only played five minutes.
“My confidence stays the same whether I get in the game for 30 minutes or five min-utes,” Joseph said after he played 14 minutes on Dec. 2, the last time he played that much. “I feel just the same in my ability.”
But he hasn’t played 30 minutes. He hasn’t played five. Since Jan. 16, he’s played just one minute. And there’s no way to know when his next minute will come.

Associate head coach Vonn Read wants his team to get a shot off on every possession. It could be a layup in the paint, a 3-pointer from the corner or even a backward heave from half court. He doesn’t care which.
“If it gets up on the rim and we get a chance to rebound it,” Read said, “we’d rath-er have that than a good looking turnover.”
It’s because Syracuse’s playing style is based on points per possession. More shots, more rebounds and fewer turnovers maximize points on the offensive end. Forcing turnovers minimize points allowed on the defensive end. Traditionally, performance is measured by shooting percentage, but a plan hatched by Read is giving Syracuse (18-6, 8-3 Atlantic Coast) a way to win games despite “awful” shooting performances that make head coach Quentin Hillsman “kind of cringe.”
“When most coaches look at field-goal percentage, they’re not getting the whole picture,” Read said. “If they want to focus on how well we shoot from the field or not, I think they have the wrong picture.”
Each game, Syracuse wants to take 20 more shots than its opponents and make at least 10 3-pointers. The increased shots are generated by positive turnover and offensive rebounding margins. The made 3s are a product of more taken.
Shooting percentage hardly matters. Last season, Hillsman’s team was the
second-worst team ACC team in field-goal percentage but managed to win 22 games. Read proposed to not worry about improv-ing the team’s shooting percentage. Just increase the amount of shots, instead.
“It just became evident that’s what we needed to do” Hillsman said, “so we just built a system together really to maximize that.”
Read always had the style in his mind as the way he wanted to play, so he started implementing it last season and threw in more schemes while coaching the team on its European tour in August.
Players, especially the freshmen, had to adjust their conditioning because the team presses the entire game, even on missed shots, senior guard Brianna Butler said. The time with Read as the primary coach during the summer gave the players time to learn the system, too.
“We like it …,” Butler said. “We’ve been able to do a lot of damage with it.”
When SU shoots poorly, it gets a chance to
“win the game twice” on its forced turnovers, shots and rebounds, Read said. Syracuse is last in the ACC and 311th of 344 teams in the nation with a 35.6 percent shooting percent-age, but received votes in the Associated Press Top 25 poll on Monday. Its 28.3 3-point con-version rate ranks 267th in the country and 12th in the conference, but the Orange sits in first place in the conference for total 3s made.
SU collects 19.2 offensive rebounds per game, ranking first in the ACC and giving the Orange extra possessions.
Syracuse traveled to Miami on Feb. 1 and shot 28.6 percent overall and 14.8 percent from 3 against the No. 16 team in the country. It won.
“You just don’t do that in ACC play,” Read said.
When the Orange hit 50 percent of its shots against No. 12 Duke on Jan. 3, the result was a 36-point blowout victory.
Read was skeptical about whether or not SU could force turnovers in conference play, but more than two-thirds of the way through its ACC schedule, the Orange still has the best turnover margin in the NCAA. Its oppo-nent turnover rate of 30 percent is the best in the nation, according to WBBstate.com.
In each of its last four games, Syracuse has shot a worse percentage than its opponent but still come away with a win.
“If you want to use field-goal percentage, then I’ll say keep using that …” Read said. “But if you want to look at points per pos-session, you get a truer value of how you’re executing offensively and defensively.”

The last time Kaleb Joseph played for Syracuse, the game wasn’t even close. There was
one minute and seven seconds left and SU led Notre Dame by 18. It was the first time in 119 minutes that he had played. There have been 80 minutes of game time since. Joseph has spent all of them waiting for a legitimate shot that is likely never coming.
The last time Joseph played, there wasn’t a score to change. Only a moment of apparent pity to be had. He entered the game flanked by walk-ons Mike Sutton and Doyin Akintobi-Adeyeye. The crowd of 22,861 that watched Syracuse blow out its then-No. 25-ranked opponent had whittled
down to a fraction of the size. Joseph touched the ball only once, and didn’t record a stat.
He’s played one minute in the Orange’s past 200, and it meant nothing more than all the rest.
Joseph entered the season hav-ing made, per SU head coach Jim Boeheim, the “biggest offseason improvements physically of anybody that I can remember.” He raved about his shooting improve-ment. Last year, he wasn’t ready, Boeheim said. This year, he was.
“I have no problem having him in the game a lot,” Boeheim said on Oct. 16. “He’ll be in the game a lot.”
But Joseph hasn’t been in any game a lot. He hasn’t played more than 17 minutes in any contest all season. He’s entered just five of the 11 conference games and has played a total of 18 conference minutes. He’s taken 28 shots this season and made only five. Just a year ago he averaged more than 27 minutes per game. So far, Syra-cuse’s “biggest offseason improve-ment” hasn’t shown any, or been given a chance to do so as of late.
The reason behind his trajec-tory this season remains virtually untold. He declined to talk for this story. His friend and high school coach didn’t respond to an inter-view request. His AAU coach said,

Former Syracuse quarterback Terrel Hunt has been denied his appeal for a sixth year of eligibil-ity by the NCAA, he confirmed to The Daily Orange.
He was initially denied a sixth year of eligibility in November, but appealed the decision. Hunt redshirted his freshman season in 2011, fractured his fibula after five games in 2014 and tore his Achilles in the first quarter of the first game against Rhode Island in 2015.
“Whoever recognizes me, they feel for me. I fulfilled my student part. I did that and beyond. I graduated early. I started my master’s. I’m about to finish with my master’s,” Hunt said earlier this year. “I’m doing everything the NCA A ever asked for, but it’s like, when can I fulfill my athlete part?”
In his sophomore season, Hunt stepped in for fifth-year transfer Drew Allen after Allen performed poorly against Penn State and Northwestern. The two split SU’s game against Wagner and Hunt started against Tulane.
He led Syracuse to its last bowl win against Minnesota in the Texas Bowl. Hunt threw for 188 yards, but made his biggest contribution with his feet, rush-ing for 74 and two touchdowns. He was named the game’s most valuable player.
Now, Hunt finishes his col-lege career with 2,621 yards and 11 touchdowns in the air with another 794 yards and 13 touch-downs on the ground.
Syracuse is expected to return Eric Dungey, Austin Wilson and Zack Mahoney at quarterback. Syracuse will also have fresh-men Rex Culpepper, a holdover from former head coach Scott Shafer’s recruiting class, and pre-ferred walk-on quarterback Tyler Gilfus. Hunt could have compet-ed with those five for the start-ing job next season had he been granted his appeal.
