73? BETTER DRINK MY OWN- hi 73° | lo 52°
By Dara McBrideSTAFF WRITER
L ast winter, Zach Ott celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas outdoors in downtown Syra-
cuse, surrounded by office buildings and a bustling Centro transporta-tion hub on Salina Street.
As a member of the Occupy Syra-cuse movement and former spokes-man for the group, Ott camped out in the park throughout the fall and win-ter with dozens of others. Strangers showed up with food during the holi-days, and downtown workers and shoppers were hard-pressed to pass
through without seeing a picketer.Monday marked the anniver-
sary of the beginning of the national Occupy movement in New York City, and these days, the Syracuse Occupy movement is less visible. Occupy members attribute this to individu-als finding more specific advocacy groups to work with.
“We’re still around and we’re doing different things,” said Ott, 21, who worked during the summer on a campaign against hydrofracking. “Occupy hasn’t gone away, it’s just evolved.”
Anniversary events passed peace-
fully in Syracuse, where about 50 members of Occupy Syracuse met in Perseverance Park at 5:30 p.m. Monday. They marched for several blocks to City Hall before returning to the park, shouting, “We are the 99 percent!” and “We are unstoppable!”
Several Syracuse Police Depart-ment cars and uniformed officers arrived at City Hall when protest-ers entered the building waving signs and shouting, “Evict Mayor Miner!” The building is normally locked after 5 p.m., but was left open for a meeting, and an SPD officer inside the building called his supervisor when he was sur-prised by the disturbance.
After the protesters marched out of City Hall, the building was locked. Occupy members did not intend to stay more than a few hours in Per-severance Park on Monday evening. Some members began to put away

Kid Ink to begin Bandersnatch Music Series
By Meredith NewmanASST. COPY EDITOR
Zhuo Chen doesn’t trust the Dalai Lama.
Chen, a new media management graduate student from Shandong, China, has conflicted feelings toward the spiritual leader of Tibet, like many people from her home country.
The Dalai Lama’s past efforts to make Tibet independent from China have created animosity between him and the Chinese government and its people.

Hip-hop artist Kid Ink will headline University Union Concerts’ first Band-ersnatch Music Series show of the semester. He’ll perform in the Schine Underground at 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 15.
The Los Angeles-based rapper released his debut album, “Up & Away,” in June. Kid Ink got his start in the music scene by producing and working with artists such as Sean “Diddy” Combs and Sean Kingston. His record peaked at the second spot on the Billboard rap charts and at No. 3 on the rhythm and blues charts. He has also released three mixtapes: “Crash Landing,” “Daydreamer” and “Wheel’s Up.”

FROM THE MORGUE >>A BIT OF HISTORY FROM THE DAILY ORANGE ARCHIVES
This year, graduate schools -- law schools in particular -- across the country received the most applicants since 1991. Syracuse Univer-sity is no different.
Along with the increased number of appli-cations to the College of Law, SU also saw many more applicants accepting admission, resulting in overcrowding. There were 2,533 applicants to the College of Law this year, compared to just 1,910 last year, said Hannah Arterian, dean of the College of Law. Forty-seven percent of the applicants accepted admissions this year; only 37 percent accept-ed last year. Normally the law school expects about 270 incoming students every year, but this year the class size is 334, Arterian said.
The increased application pool raised the bar for acceptance; Arterian said the bottom quartile of the incoming students needed two points higher on the LSAT than last year.
“We gave the faculty a heads-up this sum-mer,” Arterian said. “Normally there is a melt-down in the number of people who accept admission, but not this year.”
There are many problems that come along with increased enrollment. Faculty are spread thinly with more students to advise and men-tor, Arterian said. In order to help ease the overcrowding, the school hired an extra pro-fessor to teach two sections of the required writing class for all first-year students. Lack of classroom space is also an issue.
“The faculty has been phenomenal. The students and faculty have had a tremendous-ly positive attitude,” Arterian said.
The increase in graduate school applicants may be due to the sagging economy, said Justin Serrano, executive director for the Kaplan Test Preparations.
“With the weakened economy, more peo-ple are going to graduate school instead of trying to find a job in a tight market,” Serrano said. “If people were considering law school, they would now move their plans up.”
Because the LSAT are the only prerequisite for aspiring law students, law school appli-cants have gone up more than applications for other programs. Other graduate degree programs are also seeing increased applica-tions, but at a slower rate because of their requirements.
The increased competition of a large appli-cant pool allows schools to be much more selective and set higher standards, Serrano said. Both Serrano and Arterian agree that having a graduate degree cannot hurt anyone.
“It’s already happening, but going forward, having a graduate degree will be the new standard,” Serrano said. “To be competitive a master’s or law degree will be much more helpful.”

The majority of the Syracuse Uni-versity campus didn’t expect to see “Today” show correspondent Sarah Haines and producer Susan Bower passing around fliers on campus at 9 a.m. Monday.
But by the time the national morn-ing show went live, SU students were taking pictures, live tweeting and calling their friends, asking them to immediately turn on the television.
More than 100 SU students, includ-ing the marching band and cheer-leading squad, were filmed live on the “Today” show on Monday morn-ing to compete for a chance to bring “Today” show hosts Kathie Lee Gif-ford and Hoda Kotb to the university. They posed in shades of orange and blue, and held signs on the hill in front of the Newhouse III building for the shoot.

After months of no representation, the first and only general assem-bly representative from the School of Information Studies was elected to the Student Association general assembly on Monday night.
Jason Quiles, a sophomore informa-tion technology major in the iSchool, was appointed at Monday’s SA meeting in Maxwell Auditorium. Board of Elec-tions and Membership Chair Jennifer Bacolores said the last representative from the iSchool dropped out in March and that she’s very excited a new repre-sentative was elected.
“It’s definitely a different perspec-tive. The iSchool is definitely a small-er school and it has a lot of people who are career-based,” Bacolores said. “We need representation from different schools and we definitely need new perspectives and students who are willing to work on different initiatives.”
To help with the representative selection process, Bacolores adopted
a ratings system, which she uses to brief current SA members on the quality of a candidate before he or she is voted on.
Candidates can be rated “strongly recommended, recommended, recom-mended with caution and not recom-mended,” she said. She added that so far, she has not come across a candi-date who she strongly recommends.
“A lot of our candidates that come forward definitely have potential, but when I speak to a candidate inter-ested in joining SA, I look for real enthusiasm,” Bacolores said.
Bacolores said one of her main goals this semester is to prevent the election of “revolving door candi-dates” and instead elect people who will do a good job of representing their home college.
Four of the five candidates who ran for a seat in the general assembly on Monday night were elected, including candidates from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, the College of Arts and Sciences, the
Old devices, network update slow Internet
By Levi SteinCONTRIBUTING WRITER
Syracuse University students who have recently been struggling to connect to the Internet may have an updated, more sophisticated wireless network to blame.
Last summer, Air Orange X com-pleted a conversion to use an 802.11n wireless network. The technology uses multiple antennas to improve con-nectivity and speed, said Christopher Finkle, communications manager for Information Technology and Services.
Air Orange X is “Syracuse Uni-versity’s high-speed wireless network (that) provides an encrypted secure connection,” according to the ITS website. ITS is responsible for over-seeing wireless networking at SU.
But like most wireless technology, the new network is still susceptible to interference from other devices like cell phone hotspots, which can cause abrupt disconnections and an inability to browse, Finkle said.

are not configured to use this type of technol-ogy. Older devices are not capable of function-ing on such a sophisticated network and, as a result, will function more slowly, he said.
For some SU students, connecting to the Internet can often be a troubling experience.
“There are some days where I have to com-pletely restart my computer’s internal wireless system by going through the help menu,” said Steve Pincus, a sophomore business administra-tion major. “It can be a total nightmare.”
ITS ensures a 100-percent connectivity rate in all residence halls. Air Orange X receives connection in all academic buildings both on and off campus, and every South Campus apartment, according to the website.
Despite these claims, users often report difficulties with the network. In recent weeks, many South Campus residents have been complaining about faulty and malfunctioning
connection. Grievances include random dis-connection, slow browsing and buffering, or complete inability to connect to the network.
South Campus resident Zach Goldberg, a sophomore international relations and policy studies major, has run into trouble with the network at his apartment. He faced little dif-ficulty with Air Orange X last year when he lived in Brewster Hall.
“The connection is much worse on South Campus than in BBB or anywhere else on cam-pus,” Goldberg said. “There are times when my connection goes out every couple minutes, making it virtually impossible to complete my homework.”
Jeremy Philipson, a junior sports manage-ment major, lived on South Campus last year. Unlike Goldberg, he recalls no problems with Air Orange X.
“Living on South, I never really had any difficulties connecting or staying connected to the Internet,” Philipson said.
This year, Philipson uses his own network at his off-campus apartment and has enjoyed trouble-free browsing.
While ITS only receives occasional com-plaints about the network, Finkle said, at some point, most students report at least a temporary bout with Air Orange X.
Some of the issues with Air Orange X are problems with devices connecting to the net-work and not the network itself. Many issues can be resolved with simple, user-friendly tutorials on the ITS website, Finkle said.
Other problems with the network may be a result of rapidly changing technology, as certain devices struggle to keep up with the pace of development.

eting outside City Hall after 6 p.m.The Syracuse events were comparably quieter
than those in New York City, where news outlets reported more than 125 people were arrested on disorderly conduct charges in connection to the Occupy Wall Street anniversary demonstrations. Hundreds of protesters were reportedly kept behind barricades or watched by police.
The national Occupy Wall Street movement, the group behind the phrase, “we are the 99 percent,” began last September when demon-strators converged on Zuccotti Park in New York’s financial district to protest corporate greed and the connection between big business and government.
The anniversary served to reunite members of Occupy Syracuse who had since branched out and joined separate causes and groups, such as the Syracuse Peace Council, Syracuse Act Now to Stop War and End Racism Coalition, Green Party and Party for Socialism and Liberation. During the event, protestors distributed brochures for the various groups and held signs relating to the upcoming presidential election, the conflict in Syria, in addition to “the 99 percent.”
Occupy Syracuse member Eric Block, 27, said the next step is to build upon the awareness raised for various causes during the first year.
One way to bring small but significant change to the city would be establishing a public vegetable garden in Perseverance Park, which the Occupiers are no longer formally occupying, Block said. The Occupiers said they have not heard from the mayor regarding the garden and said the garden’s name did not need to be associ-ated with the Occupy movement.
“The second year needs to be working for change,” Block said during Monday’s events.
Not all Occupy members said they consid-ered the Syracuse movement to be a success.
Laura Brown, 23, who held an “Evict Mayor
Miner” sign during the march, said she thought the strength of the movement was in creating a sense of community and inspiring others to become involved.
“I’ve always been an activist, I’ve always wanted to be an activist,” said Brown, who has spent less time with the Occupiers in recent months due to her job in a restaurant, but was
often in the front of the pack during the march through the downtown.
David Beatty, 73, of Syracuse and a 1961 grad-uate of Syracuse University, said he thought the Occupy Syracuse movement was successful during its first year because of the “hundreds of issues discussed” during his time with the Occupy Syracuse movement.
Occupiers may not have solved these issues, he said, but did encourage larger discussion regarding topics such as employment and distri-bution of wealth.
“The whole idea is to raise public awareness,” he said. “And we’ve had a lot of fun doing that.”

A Syracuse teenager is being held in jail without bail on probation after he was accused of stab-bing and robbing a local man in his Lancaster Avenue home. He then led police on a chase with the man’s stolen car.
The teenager, Saio Barzee, appeared in court on Monday before County Judge Joseph Fahey, who set no bail on a probation violation charge, according to a Sept. 17 Post-Standard article.
In August, Fahey sentenced Barzee to a five-year probation and time served for a stolen property charge involving a stolen car, accord-ing to the article.
Barzee was arrested for new charges on Thursday, including burglary, robbery, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, grand larceny and stalking, according to the article.
Barzee was accused of stalking a 60-year-old man. After he had asked the man for change for a $20 bill on Comstock Avenue, Barzee followed the victim to his home on Lancaster Avenue, according to the article.
Other accusations include Barzee robbing another Lancaster Avenue resident at knife-point in the victim’s home, stabbing the man in the back, stealing the victim’s computers and leaving the scene in the man’s car. Before he left, Barzee attempted to force the victim to go to a bank with him to withdraw more money, according to the article.
Police took Barzee into custody after he crashed the stolen car into a police car in a park-ing lot after a police chase on Erie Boulevard East, according to the article.
City Judge Karen Uplinger set bail at $50,000 cash or bond for charges related to the burglary and the chase. Additional bail was set at $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond for the stalking allegation, according to the article.
Barzee will appear in court on Wednesday.In response to a string of robberies in
the East neighborhood, local law enforce-ment tripled during the weekend. The Depart-ment of Public Safety has sent five public safety notices to students since the start of the semester.

It’s the first time law enforcement has increased patrol that much in at least seven years. Four robberies have occurred in a three-week span, an unusually high number for the start of the school year, said Depart-ment of Public Safety Chief Tony Callisto.

G uys, I feel like saying “I feel like” is getting really stupid and we should stop doing it.
A few months ago, a friend of mine pointed out this pervasive verbal tic of our generation. Since then it’s been driving me insane.
It’s like when you stare at a word for too long and it starts to look demented. I feel like I can’t stop noticing it.
When did this start? Once upon a time, we all sat in class
and listened to that one girl take the Queen’s English off to the zoo with a phalanx of “likes” spiraling around one useless self-evident point. Sounded like, “Freedom is, like, good.” If you started to sense you were drifting off, you could keep a tally of how many times she used the “like” crutch. Isn’t learning fun when we make a game out of it?
Or maybe that was just me. Either way, somewhere along the
line we stopped “thinking” things and started “feeling like” them. “I feel like eating a piece of cake” or “I feel like a walrus” has been joined by “I feel like the green light across the bay represents, like, the elusive nature of the American Dream.”
No one is immune from this epi-demic. I catch myself starting sentences with it all the time. We feel things now instead of thinking them, it seems. We’ve become a generation of feelers.
We generalize, we obfuscate, we guess. We don’t think. “Feeling” is diplomatic. It gives us some wiggle room to get out of a position if we really need to. It’s friendly, but non-committal. Vague. Suddenly, we all sound eminently sensitive, like Mr. Simmons from “Hey Arnold!” or a particularly condescending therapist.
Now, it could just be nothing — from time to time, the language evolves and the vernacular shifts, and suddenly, “cool” doesn’t mean
“cold” and “sick” doesn’t mean “vom-iting all over the place.” It happens.
But I think it’s a symptom of a larg-er issue in our society. No longer do news outlets report facts in the most traditional sense — even for election year, it sure “feels like” it’s a little heavy on the he-said-she-said shtick, doesn’t it? With MSNBC and Fox News flailing on the left and right, respectively, CNN is relegated to a bubbling mass of insecurity, hesitant to take a firm position on anything lest it be accused of — egad — bias.
The 24-hour news analysts scream-ing at each other can sometimes be an inaccurate barometer for the rest of soci-ety; no doubt . But it’s come to the point that I sort of miss the days of counting the “likes.” A simpler time, for sure.
Let’s adjust a little. Let’s think a little more and feel less. I know it sounds like I’m advocating punching Big Bird in the face, but you get my point.
Think about it. I think it’ll be good for all of us.

world on a string
Tripling law enforcement in the East neighborhood on weekends is a short-term solution to a long-term problem.
The increased surveillance of the area shows the seriousness with which local law enforcement is taking this issue, but larger changes need to take place to help ensure student safety.
Already this academic year, four robberies occurred in a three-week span. That’s an unusually high num-ber for the start of the school year, Department of Public Safety officials said. DPS has already sent five differ-ent public safety alerts to students.
Most of the robberies so far have
been by non-SU students, DPS offi-cials said. This signals the problem in the East neighborhood is more than a university issue.
It is a city of Syracuse issue. DPS and university officials can-
not solve this problem alone. City officials and law enforcement need to step up and help take ownership of this problem, as the acts are being committed by city residents.
There are also steps Syracuse University students can take.
Students should know who attends their parties and take measures to keep uninvited guests from enter-ing. Students should not walk alone or carry valuables with them after dark. But even if students take all these measures, their safety cannot be guaranteed.
While increased patrol may impede crimes from happening, it is a reactionary fix that is not the most sustainable solution. Moving forward with this issue, city and university officials need to team up to get to the root of the problem in the East neighborhood in order to protect the community.

SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGYevery tuesday in news
By Andrew FeldmanSTAFF WRITER
T hough insects could provide health ben-efits and are considered delicacies in many places around the globe, it would
take a lot of convincing to get people in the Western world to give them a try.
Bugs and filtered urine are both healthy and environmentally friendly, according to an Aug. 23 Wired Science article.
The article cited two examples of healthy insects. Crickets are very high in calcium and caterpillars are high in iron, thiamin and ribo-flavin. If people farmed and consumed insects, it would decrease hunger and demands on the environment from meat production, according
to the article.Eating insects is not unheard of, Peter Castro, associate pro-
fessor of anthropology in the Maxwell School of Citizen-
ship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, said
in an email. “What people are
supposed to eat or not eat changes
in time, and can also change
according to
situations,” Castro said. Ancient Romans and other European societ-
ies ate beetle larvae as a delicacy, and Castro said he has met Kenyan children who enjoy raw termite larvae because they taste sweet.
“Certain foods, and I suspect that insects might fall in this class in the West, were essen-tially ‘famine foods’ — considered undesir-able during normal times, but eaten in times of shortage when preferred foods were not eas-ily available,” he said.
Hans Peter Schmitz, associate professor of political science in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, also said it is possible for foods like insects to become a part of American diets.
Getting people to eat insects will require educating them and showing them why it is important, as well as providing some kind of incentive, Schmitz said.
People would need to be convinced slowly at first, but once a large number of people followed the trend, getting the rest of the population to follow suit would be easy, he said.
One possible way of introducing insects into our diets is by mixing them in burgers, and slowly raising the insect percentage, Schmitz said.
“Typically these kinds of things happen because there is some
major watershed or external shock,” Schmitz said. “At this point, we don’t have any of these.”
Leanna Garfield, a sophomore magazine journalism major, said people eat food not because of its taste or nutrition, but because of how it looks, and therefore wouldn’t eat insects.
“I don’t think Western culture likes to see an insect black or brown or slimy. We have this per-ception that it’s been in dirty places,” Garfield said. “In Western culture, when you see a bug crawling around, you’re immediate reaction is ‘Ew, oh my God kill it.’”
Garfield said she would eat insects if they were disguised as something else.
Other students at SU are more open to try-ing the delicacies of other cultures. Amy Tat-nall, a senior English and textual studies and television, radio and film major, said she has traveled to some of the Eastern areas and has consequently been exposed to the idea of eating insects.
Tatnall said she would be willing to try insects, and thinks it is possible that others would be willing to do so, too.
If eating insects was presented as a healthy trend or celebrities started doing it, Tatnall said, American culture would probably follow suit.

a contemptible scoundrel,” Chen said of the Dalai Lama in an email.
The Dalai Lama will be traveling to Syracuse University for the two-day forum, “Common Ground for Peace.” He and more than 20 musical artists will engage the Syracuse community in talks about how to shift global consciousness toward peace on Oct. 8-9.
The country of Tibet has been considered part of China since the Yuan Dynasty 800 years ago, Chen said. Tibet, she said, is not an independent country.
The Dalai Lama, the temporal head of Tibetan Buddhists, was made head of state at age 15 in 1950, the same year that Chinese troops occupied Tibet, according to a Feb. 18, 2010 CNN.com article.
The Dalai Lama attempted to negotiate with Chinese officials for a self-ruled Tibet, but failed. After an unsuccessful uprising against the Chinese, the Dalai Lama fled Tibet in 1959 for exile in India, according to the article.
Amy Feng, a new media management graduate student from Hebei, China, doesn’t think the Dalai Lama matters in terms of world politics because no one in China trusts him.
“I don’t think Dalai Lama (represents) the major public opinion in Tibet,” Feng said in an email. “Tibet is part of China. That is the bottom line and ground rule.”
Chinese officials have publically denounced the Dalai Lama as a “wolf in monk’s clothing” who is continuing to push for Tibet’s independence. But, the Dalai Lama said that he is not fighting for indepen-dence, but “wants an autonomy that would allow Tibetans to maintain their cultural, language and religion under China’s rule,” according to the article.
Feng said the Tibet that is described to Western countries by the Dalai Lama is not an actual portrayal.
“A lot of violence incident events are actually controlled by him or his subsid-iary. They are not protecting Tibet but destroying her.”
For Chen, the violence hits close to home. Chen’s uncle has worked for an electric com-pany located in Tibet for the past three years. Her uncle has witnessed how the people in Tibet live normal and peaceful lives, but they also face times of serious danger.
“My uncle’s company had to have people (run) all over the place to repair electric cable because Dalai’s followers were burning and destroying electrical equipment to cut off the electricity,” Chen said. “And whenever my uncle went out to do inspections on power stations he had to carry a gun because two company employ-ees were (being) killed by Dalai’s people in a tour of inspection.”
In order for the relationship between China and the Dalai Lama to improve, Feng said, the Dalai Lama needs to stop dividing her homeland.
Chen doesn’t think the relationship will be repaired very soon because there will always be another Dalai Lama. She believes that there will be a day where the truth will expose the real Dalai Lama.
“Peace is a common desire shared by all of us. I feel like many Americans have mis-understanding about Tibet,” Chen said. “But facts speak louder than words, Tibet is open to everyone who want to see her. Truth will eventually be seen.”

So far, the School of Architecture, the L.C. Smith College of Engineering, Newhouse and University College are the only colleges to have achieved full representation.
Once final vote counts were in, SA members shifted the focus of the meeting to student initia-tives. Vice President Allie Curtis and Chief of Staff Janine Savage have been working together to organize a weeklong event called Impact Week to be held this November. Curtis said the event will provide many community service
opportunities for SU students.“The essence of Impact Week is being able
to bridge the gap between being a student and being a community member,” Curtis said.
Although many SA members are trying to promote campus activities, SA Comptroller Ste-phen DeSalvo said SU student organizations have not been applying for special program-ming funding.
“(Funding requests) have been unusually low,” DeSalvo said.
SA currently has just under $100,000 avail-able for student organizations that apply for funding and get approved. So far, a little less than $3,000 has been awarded, DeSalvo said.
DeSalvo has also drafted a bill that clearly defines how student organizations can move up and down the financial tier system. The finance
board uses the tier system to determine how much money a student organization can apply for.
DeSalvo said organizations hosting events that don’t meet attendance standards, among other measures, could potentially be moved down in the tier system. Organizations that wish to be moved up must have evidence of past suc-cess, among other regulations. DeSalvo plans to clarify the new regulations at the next meeting.
In other business, Chair of Student Engage-ment Sean Dinan proposed subsidizing basket-ball and football tickets for part-time University College students who currently don’t receive a discount and don’t pay a student activities fee.
The next SA meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Panasci Lounge in the Schine Student Center due to a scheduling conflict.

showing school pride on social media, Twitter specifically,” Haines said.
The broadcast was part of a weeklong compe-tition that pits SU against Ohio State University, University of Tennessee, University of South Florida, Creighton University and Brandeis Col-lege in a showcase of school spirit. At the end of the week, viewers will decide the winner.
The selection process for the top six schools began in early September, and entries were accepted on Twitter until Sept. 16. The “Today” show relied heavily on social media for the first half of the competition, tracking the Twit-ter hashtag, #KLGandHodaU, to find finalists, Haines said.
The “Today” show wanted to treat the airing as a “big unveil,” so the event was kept low-key on campus, said production manager Cary Gri-fasi. But despite the lack of an official announce-ment, word spread quickly. At 9 a.m., there was already a crowd of about 30 people.
The crew for the shoot was small, since the broadcast was intended to be a “series of live pops,” filmed in minute-long spurts, said Keith Kobland, media manager in the SU News Services department, who assisted the “Today” show crew.
Justin Mertz, director of the SU marching band, received a phone call from the show on Friday afternoon, but said there were no issues performing for the “Today” show, since the band has a repertoire at the ready.
Mertz was jovial before the shoot as he called the band to attention.
“Ok, so we need to impress the entire nation,” he said to the band.
Among the first to arrive to the shoot were juniors Mike Collins, Ben Maher and Brad Slavin. They were dressed in an Orange Man suit, an orange tuxedo and an Otto’s Army
T-shirt and orange skinny jeans, respectively. Maher, a psychology and sport management
major, said he bought his tuxedo as a birthday present to himself. Slavin, communications director for Otto’s Army and a junior television, radio and film and information management major, wore a Boba Fett helmet he customized by painting the top and sides orange with an SU logo on each temple.
Collins, in the Orange Man suit, said he has become an icon on campus.
“I’ve never missed a basketball game,” Col-lins, a history and secondary education major, said. “I have another, like, as a backup.”
As a warm-up, the three students rallied
the crowd into cheering as the marching band played the SU fight song.
Marching band percussionists Jon Kane and Mike Barta, donning orange headbands, joined in the school spirit.
“I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else,” said Kane, a sophomore music industry major.
Some students also held up poster-board love letters to Gifford and Kotb.
Said Tory Savage, a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences: “What made me fall in love with this school was when we came for orienta-tion and you could tell how much everyone loved it here.”

the sweet stuff in the middle
By Diana PearlSTAFF WRITER
I n 1912, painter, print maker and modernist Karl Schrag was born. Known for his paintings
and prints splattered with bright colors, vivid brushstrokes and land-scapes, Schrag’s work from the mid 20th century is making a reemer-gence 100 years after his birth.
This week, three galleries — the
Kraushaar Gallery and the Alexan-dre Gallery, both located in New York City, and the SUArt Galleries — are putting on Schrag exhibitions in honor of the 100th anniversary of his birthday. The New York City galler-ies’ shows opened this past weekend.
Syracuse University is hosting the largest of these three shows, with its “Karl Schrag: Memories and Premo-nitions” exhibition that opened Aug.
30 and will remain open until Oct. 21. Jerome Witkin, an art, design and transmedia professor, will open the SUArt Galleries lecture series at 5 p.m. in the SUArt Galleries in the Shaffer Art Building.
Schrag passed away 17 years ago at the age of 82. He spent years as a professor of art in New York City, first at Brooklyn College and later at Cooper Union School of Art.
In the 1950s, then-18-year-old Wit-kin sat in a class taught by Schrag at Cooper Union in New York City. Wit-kin spent two semesters as a student in Schrag’s class.
In the classroom, Witkin and his fellow students found themselves inspired and challenged by Schrag’s unprecedented teaching style.
“He was a very unusual teacher,” Witkin said. “How he talked about
artists and the development of art-ists, nobody else was doing that. Other people would go to a class and people would say ‘OK, start working.’ There was no push.”
Unlike many of Witkin’s art profes-sors at the time, Schrag developed a parental relationship with his students, which Witkin felt was an important bridge between professor and pupil.

Tap into your creative side quickly and cheaply with a few projects that still look beautiful at a low cost.
Often times, going through tan-gled messes of earrings can be so overwhelming and frustrating that people skip ear appeal all together and head out with nude lobes. Never again will this happen, because with these next two art projects, brought to you by Sarah Ku, a sophomore unde-
clared major in the College of Arts and Sciences, your earrings will not only be displayed artfully and neatly, but also within quick reach.
Detangle your dangles Take a piece of yarn about two feet in length, which can be bought at Michaels on Erie Boulevard East. If you have crocheting experience, you’ll know how to crochet the string like you would any first line, leaving six inches on each side of
the string untouched. If not, all you need is five extra minutes to test it out — there are plenty of online guides to follow.
Next, pull a piece of colored fabric tightly across a rectangular piece of cardboard —12 inches by 5 inches — both of which can also be found at Michaels. Staple this in the back. Take the crocheted part of your yarn and lay it along about an inch below the top of your rectangle. Fold the untouched string around the back
and staple on both ends right in the corner. Then tie those ends together and hang it up. Start placing your dangling earrings into each of the string loops.
Have too many earrings? Repeat the same project, but instead of tying the ends together, staple them to the bottom of the first rectangle so it hangs below.
Secure your studsSometimes it’s hard to deal with your studs and smaller earrings, so they
often get lost in the shuffle and tossed out. This project is similar to the previous one, but instead of cutting out a cardboard rectangle, cut out a cardboard frame. Don’t worry about the edges looking perfect; you will cover the whole thing by pulling a piece of fabric tightly over the empty middle and stapling it down in the back edges.
Take an 8-inch string and staple each end of it to the top corners of the

Hospitality is more than the process of enter-taining, cooking or hosting.
The preparation and the sharing of meals can be a valuable tool in cultural exchange and global understanding. It’s a common ground for people from different backgrounds, bringing them together over a shared desire for cuisine.
This philosophy has a large basis in this week’s Eat Together for Peace campaign, put together by the Syracuse University Humani-ties Center. Eat Together for Peace is an exten-sion of the Perpetual Peace Project, a project created and directed by Dr. Gregg Lambert, Dean’s Professor of the Humanities.
Marnie Blount-Gowan brought the Eat Together campaign to Lambert’s attention last spring. Blount-Gowan had followed the Perpetual Peace Project through its website, which featured videos put together by students and experts alike discussing the concepts of perpetual peace.
The theme of the campaign — hospitality — was developed through discussions between Blount-Gowan and Lambert.
“The idea was to create a menu of events that
are all related to peace,” Lambert said. Blount-Gowan had approached Lambert and
begun the process of planning the week of events before discovering that His Holiness the Dalai Lama would be visiting Syracuse Uni-versity and hosting a peace forum immediately
after the Eat Together for Peace week. Upon discovering this news, Blount-Gowan
felt the timing was fitting. “It’s like a prelude,” Blount-Gowan said. “It
can prepare the SU community to get in the mindset of opening up to the idea of peace and understanding.”
This week will feature brown-bag discus-sions held Monday through Thursday at the Slutzker Center on Walnut Place, along with dinners and discussions held every night.
While the Humanities Center helped put together the events, smaller student groups with-in SU, including Hillel, Secular Students Alliance and various others, are hosting some.
“It’s been incredibly cohesive,” Lambert said. “I think it’s very much a part of the ecu-menical process, what a university represents.”
Blount-Gowan mentioned how pleased she was with the diversity of students that came out to volunteer.
“They’re from all different majors,” Blount-Gowan said. “And they’re taking the message and sending it, giving it to their friends, to their groups.”
Lambert pointed out that the last day of the event, the International Day of Peace on the Quad, would be in accordance with the United Nations International Day of Peace. Students are invited to make their way to the Quad before 11:30 a.m. in order to form a human peace sign together.
Afterwards, a moment of silence will take place. Lambert described the moment of silence
as being both in honor of peace as well as in acknowledgement of the ongoing presence of war and violence throughout the world.
Nira Pandya, a senior political science and international relations dual major, signed up to volunteer for the campaign and is especially excited for Friday’s events.
“I think it’s great,” Pandya said. “Everyone can come together.”
Pandya will be working at Thursday eve-ning’s event, an International Peace Dinner stationed at Ernie Davis Dining Center.
When reflecting on her experience so far, one particular memory stuck out in Pandya’s mind.
Blount-Gowan encouraged volunteers who might not have time to partake in all of the scheduled international dinners to venture out on their own and have dinner with someone they normally wouldn’t. Pandya took the advice to heart, preparing dinner at her place for herself and an international student whom she had met, but wasn’t particularly familiar with.
Said Pandya: “It was really cool learning about their life, as international students. That was something that I did that was interesting.”
Weeklong event promotes peaceful discussions
They attended many of the same art shows and galleries outside class and developed a mentor-mentee relationship through their shared inter-ests and excursions.
One notable moment for Witkin was at Schrag’s show at the Kraushaar Gallery in New York City. Schrag was very uncomfortable and quiet at his own art show, Witkin said.
“I felt sorry for him because he was so shy,” Witkin said. “He seemed like he didn’t want to
be there.”Despite the discomfort Schrag felt at his
own exhibition, he still supported Witkin in his endeavors to show his own work there. Nine years after Schrag’s show, Witkin opened his own, and felt Schrag’s support helped.
SU is hosting the largest of the Schrag shows, featuring additions from both the university’s own collection of Schrag’s work, and loans of paintings from Schrag’s chil-dren and family.
Schrag’s family also worked with the two other galleries to showcase as much of the artist’s work as possible for the centennial
shows, said Andrew Saluti, the assistant director of museum operations at the SUArt Galleries.
For years, the SUArt Galleries wanted to bring his work to campus and felt the centennial year of Schrag’s birth would be a good fit for the opening of the exhibition.
Witkin’s lecture will focus on New York in the 1950s, and how art and art school felt during those years. It will also focus on the idea of paths in Schrag’s artwork, which is prominent in many of his works.
The idea of paths is significantly shown in Schrag’s work, “Overgrown Path,” a six-color
lithograph on woven paper shown in the SUArt Galleries exhibition.
“There’s something very striving and univer-sal about the wind, the color, the light,” Witkin said. “This word, ‘path,’ becomes very important. Everybody’s on a path, everybody makes a deci-sion of where the path goes to.”
Witkin hopes it may spark a greater inter-est in art from the mid 20th century. He was also appreciative of the sheer size of the exhibition.
Said Witkin: “This is the largest Karl Schrag show I’ve ever seen. It’s an amazing thing.”
back of the frame. Start by poking the posts of the earrings through the cloth in the center, and then secure the backs from behind.
Light up your lifeThe third project is for more eco-friendly people and those who are afraid of the dark. Instead of throwing out your next empty milk gallon, you can recycle it in a creative way, thanks to senior industrial and interaction design major
Roseda Lo. After rinsing the bottle out, fill it with water and put the cap back on. Next, take a camping headlight — available on Amazon.com for as low as about $5 — and wrap it around the container. Face the headlight inward so it’s facing the bottle and turn it on.
Mirror, mirror, on the wallDon’t lie — every time you pass by the Physics Building you look at the tinted windows and check yourself out. Thankfully, mirrors are not only tools for self-indulgence; they are actually the centerpieces of this project. Not really digging the eggshell-colored concrete
wall you sleep across from? Go to Oriental Trading Company and buy 400 small glass tiles for $7.25.
Mount them with double-sided foam tape — cheap in most hardware stores — and you have a masterpiece. Not only did these tiles eliminate headaches, but mirrors are proven to amplify light in rooms and make them seem larger. Instant success.
It’s beginning to look a lot like ChristmasHanging Christmas lights is the classic dorm-room project. However, them falling and hitting you in the face as you sleep is a problem this
project does not take kindly to. Take a few empty mason jars and glass
bottles, and stuff part of the string into each one. Plug in the lights — also available on Amazon.com — and experience the soothing effect. With ease, you can turn these fallen lights into an even more dazzling experience.
Making your environment into something more personal than it was the day you moved in can help alleviate homesickness and help you take pride in your workspace. It is important to take little, creative steps to get invested, because these actions can make you feel more at home.

P!NK The Truth About Love
RCA Records
Release Date:Sept. 18
Smoke and mirrorsP!nk hides behind similar edgy pop formula of ‘Funhouse’

By Ibet InyangSTAFF WRITER
P !nk has come to be the tough, no-nonsense chick that girls want to be like, guys want to date and
everyone is guilty of rocking out to in their bedrooms when no one else is around.
But perhaps more notable is the style evolution she’s made with every release before reaching her superstar status. Now on her fifth album, “The Truth About Love,” the singer seems to stick to the brand that’s offered her the most commer-cial success.
Alecia Moore, better known as P!nk, released “Can’t Take Me Home” in 2000: a double-platinum debut album. With popular singles like “Most Girls” and “You Make Me Sick,” audiences heard P!nk’s soulful side on plenty of pop songs with a rhythm-and-blues edge.
However, P!nk was soon “tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears,” as she sang in “Don’t Let Me Get Me.” On sopho-more album, “Missundaztood,” she first showed the world her pop-rock edge and bad-girl style. P!nk almost let go of her pop side completely and just rocked out.
Over the years, she’s made it clear that she was a rocker and hit-maker, and didn’t care what anyone thought about it. This infectious ideal was only empha-sized in her last album, “Funhouse,” with mega hits such as “Raise Your Glass” and “So What.”
But unfortunately, it can’t be said that P!nk has taken it to the next level on her new record. After you’ve belted out “Sober” upside down on a trapeze, as she’s so famously done in concert, there’s not much farther to go. Many of the songs on the record have the same I’m-a-bad-girl-but-I-still-care-about-love vibe that her “Funhouse” album had. The lead single, “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” is an upbeat, pop-rock track that has the same danceable appeal as “So What” or “Raise Your Glass.”
The song doesn’t really do P!nk’s voice justice, but the chorus is so catchy that it’s bound to be a hit. Listeners can hear glimpses of the past again in songs like “Walk Of Shame” and “How Come You’re Not Here,” but they make the album repetitive and almost formulaic: Grab a pop-rock beat, throw in some “yeah,
yeah’s,” “nah, nah, nah’s” or “whoo’s” in its chorus and top it off with mildly abrasive lyrics.
However, the finer points in the album are when P!nk returns to her R&B roots and invites others to the party. In “Where Did The Beat Go,” she takes fans back to 2000 with an R&B pop track that’s an escape from the rocking norm. She goes on to show her raw talent and undeniably soulful voice in “Beam Me Up,” a mid tempo ballad whose minimal production and emotional delivery had a bit of a coun-try vibe. It’s simply beautiful.
To finish strong, she collaborated with more artists than ever in songs like “True Love,” featuring Lily Allen, “Just Give Me A Reason,” featuring Fun.’s Nate Ruess and “Here Comes The Weekend,” featur-ing Eminem. All are interesting pairings, and it’s nice to see P!nk extending her horizons, but these tracks get repetitive quickly and it’s hard to get excited about them. Each has a very similar upbeat melody, matched by standard pop-rock vocals and composition.
Luckily, the additions of a few bars from Eminem, Allen and Ruess’ distinc-tive vocals vary the tracks somewhat, but in the end, there’s not much disparity.
P!nk may explain what the truth about love is, but the truth about her latest album is that it’s probably not going to be that big of a hit. Sure, there are plenty of catchy songs and P!nk will forever be one bad*** alter ego, but tell us something we don’t know.

came in and ended up finishing with a team-leading 96 rushing yards, averaging 5.3 yards per carry. But Gulley and freshman Ashton Broyld also took snaps and both scored a touchdown.
Gulley took a screen pass from quarterback Ryan Nassib in the first quarter and ran 61 yards for a touchdown. And then, in the second quarter, Broyld sliced through the Sea-wolves defense for a 22-yard touchdown run.
Marrone said Monday he was happy with the production the team got from its running backs in its first win on Saturday.
“We’re just very happy with the way that group, our running back by committee, is doing,” Marrone said during the teleconfer-ence. “We just need to keep working hard and we need to get quality touches, which I think they’re all getting right now.”
Going for twoMinnesota quarterback MarQueis Gray
suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Gophers’ 28-23 win over Western Michigan on Saturday and could be out for as long as a month. That means Syracuse will likely face Minnesota’s backup quarterback, Max Shortell.
The sophomore played in eight games in 2011 — starting two — and completed 26 of his 54 passes for 309 yards. He threw two touchdowns and two interceptions in his limited action.
When he replaced Gray on Saturday, the Gophers didn’t miss a beat. Shortell finished 10-of-17 for 188 yards and three touchdowns,
including one on his first drive.Since Minnesota hasn’t completely ruled out
Gray for this weekend’s game against Syracuse, the Orange is left in the precarious spot of prepar-ing for two quarterbacks. Marrone said Monday that they’re both very good quarterbacks, and Shortell has played beyond his experience level.
“The throws that he makes for a guy that hasn’t played in a lot of football games is some-one that you see is very confident, he feels very comfortable,” Marrone said. “I really think he’s an outstanding young talent.”
Marrone said he doesn’t want to get too caught up in who’s playing and who isn’t because it can distract the team from focusing on what it needs to do improve.
“We know at the end of the day whoever’s playing quarterback or any other position for Minnesota, they’re going to be a pretty damn good football player,” Marrone said.
Sales consistent through three gamesMarrone’s not surprised by how well Syra-
cuse wide receiver Marcus Sales has played this season. He said as long as Sales practices consistently, he can put up big numbers.
So far this season, the senior has done just that, establishing himself as the team’s most danger-ous receiver. Sales has finished with at least 100 yards receiving in all three of the Orange’s games and ranks seventh in the nation in receiving.
Said Marrone: “I think he’s a player that, if he practices well, and Marcus and I talked about this, that he can have this type of pro-duction every game.”

day at SU Soccer Stadium.Head coach Ian McIntyre has been
impressed by Bono’s ability to lead the team and make clutch saves as a freshman.
“I think, for a young goalkeeper, he’s com-manded his area very well,” McIntyre said.
“He’s stopping a lot of aerial threats. Balls have been put in there and he’s got the confidence to come and claim them, and that presence for a young goalkeeper is very impressive.”
Bono’s destiny as a top-notch goalie wasn’t always set in stone. He didn’t start playing soccer until the age of 8 or 9. At 6 feet 3 inches and 195 pounds, Bono always had a passion for basketball and had a tough time deciding which sport to pursue.
He played basketball through his freshman year of high school, but he then realized that his future was in soccer and committed to the sport.
“He really liked basketball a lot, but as time went on, he really excelled at soccer,” his father, Mark Bono, said. “At some point in time, you have to give up one, and it was basketball.”
Bono’s decision to give up basketball and dedication to soccer paved the way for a spot on Empire United to play for U-16 coach Paul
Valenti and U-18 coach Ben Cross.Valenti said much of Bono’s success on
Empire United, and now with Syracuse, can be attributed to the size of his hands.
“He’s got enormous hands,” Valenti said. “He loves to shake people’s hands or give people five. Especially other coaches, because I think he wants them to know how big his hands are as a goalie. We always bust his chops about that.”
Cross said that Bono is always trying to improve and is never content with settling for anything less than his best. Mark Bono said that Alex’s drive is what makes him such a ter-rific goalie and that he has helped his brother become a better goalie over the years.
“He hates to lose,” Mark Bono said. “He’s just that kind of kid who’s going to give 110 per-cent every time he steps on the field. He once told his younger brother, ‘When you step on the field, you have to play every game like it’s your last game,’ and that’s what he does.”
That vocal leadership and passion has translated to the college level, as Bono has already won Big East Goalkeeper of the Week and saved 27 shots en route to six wins.
Teammate Lars Muller noted Bono’s vocal leadership as a particular strength and said he has a strong voice on the team, despite being a freshman.
“I think, first of all, it’s his personality on the field,” Muller said. “He always knows what he’s going to do, his shouting is really good and the way he talks is unbelievable. I think he’s got the whole package.”
Syracuse defender Jordan Murrell said having Bono in net improves the play of the defense because of his constant communica-tion and command of the team. His confidence permeates the entire SU backline.
Freshman Stefanos Stamoulacatos, who played with Bono on Empire United, said Bono’s presence and poise in goal is what dif-ferentiates him from other keepers.
“It’s those moments where we need it most where he makes that amazing save,” Stamoula-catos said. “There are so many things that I could name off. He’s just a great all-around keeper.”
“It’s really appealing to me to go to a team that is on the rise and is really trying to progress, and have the opportunity to be on the team that really turns the program around.”

His sole defeat came during 7-on-7 workouts in a wrestling match with former Syracuse linebacker Malcolm Cater two summers ago. Vaughan hip tossed Cater, and that’s all he can remember.
Teammates have since told him that a head-to-head collision knocked Vaughan uncon-scious and left a huge gash above Cater’s eye. Both were taken to the hospital by Syracuse athletic trainers, Vaughan said.
But Cater’s wound healed, and all tests for a concussion or other damage came back negative for Vaughan, so he laughs about the incident. The only downside, he said, was when former linebackers coach Dan Conley found out.
“He was pretty upset that I didn’t tell him,” Vaughan said. “But I was like, ‘Whatever, I don’t care.’ It’s not like we were (legitimately) fight-ing. I didn’t think a big deal of it.”
That he shrugs off losing what was poten-tially a debilitating collision exemplifies the toughness that his teammates and coaches say define his character. Mikhail Marinovich, a former Syracuse defensive end who graduated
in May, called Vaughan a “tough motherf***er,” and that was before he knew Vaughan played through a severely strained oblique during the 2011 season that limited his mobility.
He still tallied 72 tackles in 12 games last year while maintaining a starting spot at out-side linebacker.
As a youth wrestler, Vaughan competed in two different age groups because he possessed the skill and the size to take on kids four years older than him. The dozens of trophies in his bedroom at home, according to his mother, attest to that. So does his 118-26 career record as a high school wrestler, which includes a fourth-place finish in the Pennsylvania state tournament.
“He’s a guy that grits his teeth and is going to go fight,” Syracuse linebackers coach Steve Morrison said. “Those guys scare you a little bit when you coach them, because you don’t know if they’re dinged up. They’re going to fight through anything.
“He’s very intelligent, very soft spoken, but fiery as hell when he gets on the football field. Those are the type of people that I think would do well in mixed martial arts.”
But if he does go into MMA, it will likely be without the approval of his parents. His mother,
Suzanne, and his father, John, both fear for his safety in a sport they called “unregulated.” The lack of protective equipment worries them, especially the absence of a helmet.
Suzanne Vaughan is a speech language pathologist, whose work exposes her to the devastating reality of severe head injuries. As a result, she preached the importance of safety in athletics to both her sons as they grew up.
“He needs to be considering that, ‘I could be ending my possibilities in life by going into a real-ly physical and violent sport,’” she said. “That’s not what we want for Danny, but I understand that he wants to stay in sports as long as possible.”
Vaughan is aware of his parents’ concerns and says they are typical of what anyone’s parents would say. He just wants to compete, no matter the environment.
That’s why he lists Gray “The Bully” May-nard as one of his favorite UFC fighters, because Maynard “just brawls.”
Vaughan reiterates that a professional foot-ball career is still his top priority, and he hopes to follow through on that following his final season at Syracuse. But he’ll never shy away from a new opportunity or new challenge. It’s not his style.
And if mixed martial arts is that venture, so be it. Vaughan will jump right in.
“I think anybody should just follow their dreams,” Vaughan said. “I’m just the kind of guy — I don’t really look too far in the future. Whatever presents itself and I think it’s the right thing, I’m going to take it.”

The enormity of the game didn’t hit Erin Dickey until after it was over.
Once Syracuse finished off Monmouth 8-1 for its season-opening win, Dickey finally felt like a college field hockey player.
“Afterward, I was like ‘I really am playing as a D-I athlete,’” the freshman back said. “That’s what I always wanted to do.”
After putting together an impressive high school career, Dickey joined Ange Bradley’s title-contending program, now 7-0 and No. 2 in the nation. Dickey’s only played in three games and is still learning how to be a college field hockey player, but Syracuse will count on her in coming years to help lead a defense that’s currently among the country’s best.
After playing briefly in SU’s first game against Monmouth, Dickey was on the field for nine minutes in Syracuse’s next game against Ohio.
To Dickey, though, it felt much shorter. She said the thrill of playing the fast-paced style of Division-I field hockey threw off her perception of time.
“I really enjoyed myself because they say
when you really enjoy yourself, time just moves faster,” Dickey said. “And it actually did.”
Throughout her development as a field hock-ey player, Dickey had a unique edge over the competition. Her mother, Ange, played a year collegiately and Dickey’s aunt, Anne Bawler, played for Villanova.
Dickey said her family’s success and experi-ence in the sport helped motivate her to thrive, as well.
“I knew what I could also accomplish,” Dick-ey said. “I could also follow in their footsteps and maybe possibly go further.”
Dickey said her cousins have also competed in the sport, so family reunions often consisted of games of field hockey.
“I was kind of brought up in a field hockey-oriented household,” Dickey said.
As a senior in high school, Dickey led Cen-tral Dauphin High School in Harrisburg, Pa., to the Commonwealth Division and Mid-Penn Championships. The same year, she earned Pennsylvania All-State and District 3 Athlete of the Year honors. Dickey scored nine goals as a defender and received her team’s Defensive MVP Award, as well as a handful of other regional recognitions.
Amid her successful high school career, Dickey realized that her love for the game opened up Division-I possibilities.
“I was passionate about it,” Dickey said. “I enjoy being on the pitch every day. The love of the sport made me want to go further.”
The back said choosing Syracuse over other suitors was an easy decision. She said she made up her mind as soon as she stepped on campus. Dickey said she was especially attracted to the team’s drive to push itself further each year.
“She fell in love with Syracuse,” Bradley said. “You can’t ask for more than that. She has the skills to play here and we want her.”
Seven games into her first season, Dickey is still adjusting to the college style of play, which she said is much faster than high school. She’s still learning the proper touch she needs to apply on the ball when passing to teammates, especially on J.S. Coyne Sta-dium’s artificial turf.
Senior Iona Holloway, the backbone of the Orange’s defense, praised Dickey’s fitness and work ethic.
“She’s a very athletic girl and she’s got a lot of power,” Holloway said. “I maybe sometimes scream at her a bit, but she doesn’t take it per-
sonally because she knows that I’m just trying to help her out. She’s going to grow into a really strong defender.”
Holloway said the Orange’s relatively small roster allows plenty of practice time for the younger players, such as Dickey, to gain valu-able experience.
For now, the freshman has the privilege to watch and learn from one of the nation’s stron-gest and most experienced backfields.
“It’s great,” Bradley said. “Because she needs to be ready to step up and get in there next year, for the (Atlantic Coast Conference).”
Dickey said she is looking forward to seeing how much she’s improved at the end of the sea-son. She said she has already seen changes in her game, but is confident that she will continue to improve for the better.
Like everything else in her freshman season, Dickey’s progression is moving quickly.
“Within the past four weeks, my style of play has grown probably faster and more rapidly than it has in high school,” Dickey said. “I need to take everything that I’ve learned over the years that I played field hockey and just speed it up, go faster and faster.”

As Alex Bono weighed his college choices, his father asked him a simple question.
He asked whether or not his son, a top recruit, wanted to go to a Top-25 school or an up-and-coming program looking to change its culture.
“It’s really appealing to me to go to a team that is on the rise and is really trying to progress, and have the oppor-tunity to be on the team that really turns the program around,” Bono said.
Bono found that at Syracuse, he could play right away, and through
eight games, he has led a previously struggling program to a 6-2 start while posting six shutouts. He was rated the No. 1 recruit in New York by TopDrawerSoccer.com and was listed as the sixth-best goalkeeper by ESPN Rise. The freshman goalie from Baldwinsville considered St. John’s, Northeastern, Georgetown and Vil-lanova, but ultimately decided to stay close to home and try to improve a team that finished 3-12-1 a season ago.

P rimacy dwells within the octagonal cage. It coats each square inch of the
canvas spanning the structure’s 30-foot diameter and drips off the black vinyl coating on the chain-link fence that prevents inhabitants from exiting before the fight is finished.
Outside the cage, spectators roar with every vicious blow and hail the fighter that inflicts it. Inside the cage, two competitors wage a war that ends only when one of their bodies gives out.
This is the world of mixed martial arts, a sport whose popularity contin-ues on a meteoric rise, thanks in large part to the billion-dollar, worldwide entity that is the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
And it caught the attention of Syra-cuse linebacker Dan Vaughan.
“If football doesn’t work out past college, I would like to give a shot at MMA,” Vaughan said.
Vaughan, a fifth-year senior, began wrestling at the age of 4 and contin-ued through high school, where he was a standout at Pittsburgh Central
Catholic High School. He gave it up to pursue a football career at Syracuse, but nothing replaced the competitive-ness that he feels is unique to sports in which individual physical supremacy is the ultimate goal. Mixed martial arts will rekindle that flame, he said, and provide an environment to use his wrestling skills while also pushing his body in new directions.
“I’ve been to some facilities where they’re doing that training,” Vaughan said. “And it’s wrestling, boxing, kick-boxing and Muay Thai, and all that stuff. It’s really tough.”
Aside from wrestling, it will all be new to Vaughan, whose only mixed martial arts experience — though it can hardly be called that — comes in the form of friendly skirmishes with some of his Syracuse teammates.
His current sparring partner is backup punter Riley Dixon, whose 205-pound frame is 16 pounds lighter than Vaughan’s, and who has no background in wrestling or fighting whatsoever. Nonetheless, the two face off in the locker room or on the soft turf of Manley Field House in bouts that occur on a weekly basis.
“He’s got a little bit of strength on me,” Dixon said with a smile. “He’s a bit bigger, a lot stronger and he actu-ally knows what he’s doing when it comes to that stuff.”
So the result is consistently the same: Vaughan comes out victorious.
“I always win,” he said. “I choke him out and stuff. I choked him out the other day with a triangle choke.”

Syracuse employed three different running backs in Saturday’s 28-17 win over Stony Brook. Head coach Doug Marrone said the “running-back-by-committee” approach is one he likes so far and won’t be changing anytime soon.
When the season started, Mar-rone tabbed Jerome Smith as the starter, though that was little more than a technicality. Evaluations were ongoing, and for now, all of the
tailbacks will be taking their share of snaps.
“I don’t think I had a choice,” Marrone said during the Big East coaches’ teleconference on Monday. “That’ll be evaluated, obviously, as we work through the season. We’re getting the quality reps that we need from those players right now.”
While Smith is listed as the starter, Prince-Tyson Gulley lined up in the backfield for the Orange’s first few offensive plays. Eventually, Smith
