Calvin Harris, Childish Gambino energize crowd at sold-out Juice Jam By Erik van Rheenen

ASST. FEATURE EDITOR

F or a concert that’s been

pockmarked by spurts of

rain in recent years, the

only precipitation at Juice Jam

came from perspiration in the

pit and the occasional half-filled

water bottle flung into the crowd

as a makeshift projectile.

Sunday’s concert, which sold

out its capacity of 8,500 tickets,

featured hip-hop group The

Dean’s List, rapper Childish

Gambino, electronic dance disc

jockey Calvin Harris and unchar-

acteristically sunny weather. Yet

even when a brief swatch of storm

clouds floated over the stage dur-

ing Gambino’s set, the students

He sang several songs from his full-length, debut album “Camp.” The artist also engaged the crowd by making use of his background in comedy and freestyle rapping.

Syracuse University Athletics con-sidered Saturday’s football game in New Jersey against the University of Southern California a “home” game, making the Carrier Dome host of just five of the team’s 12 football games this season.

It’s the lowest home-game total since 2004, and the shortage is not sitting well with the SU community.

“We hear that our fans don’t want to travel out of town,” said Bill Nester, a co-owner and man-ager of Manny’s, a long-time Mar-shall Street T-shirt business.

Saturday’s game in MetLife Stadium, which ABC broadcast and more than 200 accredited media outlets covered, resulted in large, national media exposure for SU’s football program.

But Marshall Street businesses pay the price of this exposure. For Manny’s, a college-gear business

Discounted student tickets for the Oct. 9 One World Concert at Syracuse University, featuring a public talk by the Dalai Lama, sold out in less than 90 minutes on Friday.

At around 3:20 p.m., an hour and 20 minutes after the tickets went on sale, students looking to purchase tickets on Ticketmaster’s website received a mes-sage reading, “Sorry, no exact matches were found, but other tickets may still be available on Ticketmaster.com.”

Tickets went on sale at 2 p.m. Friday.Chuck Merrihew, vice president

of administration and engagement of advancement and external affairs at SU, was able to confirm the dis-counted tickets had sold out.

An email detailing ticket avail-ability was sent out to all SU and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students on Thursday. There were approximately 5,000 tickets available at a $25 discounted price.

No crime or major incidents occurred at Sunday’s Juice Jam concert, said Tony Callisto, chief of the Depart-ment of Public Safety.

The concert featured the electronic dance music disc jockey Calvin Harris, rapper Childish Gambino and hip-hop

group The Dean’s List. The concert set a record for the highest-selling Juice Jam concert University Union has organized, selling 8,500 tickets.

Juice Jam took place at Skytop Field on South Campus. Before enter-ing the concert, security patted stu-dents down and checked their bags.

“We’ve been pretty busy,” said

Kaitlyn McMurray, an EMT for Syr-acuse University Ambulance. “It’s what’s to be expected from a concert from this size.”

McMurray said EMTs were sta-tioned throughout the concert in case students needed assistance. She added that the protocol for EMTs hasn’t changed much in recent years.

Carl Hawley, a DPS officer, said despite the large attendance of stu-dents, DPS’s security measures haven’t changed.

“This year has been pretty good,” Hawley said. “We’ve been checking students for anything suspicious, but haven’t run into any problems.”

Syracuse University Library launched a new, easily accessible search engine that transforms the way students and faculty carry out their research.

The new system, Summons, replaced Discover, the older ver-sion, in an effort to streamline the search process and allow quicker access to important resources.

“There is a difference between the information you find on the Internet and the resources the uni-versity purchases,” said Pamela McLaughlin, director of commu-nications and external relations at SU Library.

She said she hopes the new search engine will encourage and help students to utilize the schol-arly information SU has to offer.

In an opinion piece for The Huffington Post on Wednesday, Syracuse University Chancellor Nancy Cantor argued universities are facing an existential crisis and should be more responsive to the needs of the public.

She noted times of crises can inspire “growth and creativity,” citing historic examples such as the Morrill Act of 1862, which established land-grant universities. Cantor said President Abraham Lincoln and Vermont Sen. Justin Morrill — who wrote the bill — did so in hopes that it would spur prosperity and educational opportunity in the United States.

“This decidedly optimistic reflection of higher education’s promise is still alive today, and many people are beginning to remind us that in the contemporary context of divisive politics and contested and unequal prosperity, higher education needs to step to the plate, barn-raising once again,” Cantor said in the article.

The media often paints higher education as a “necessary evil,” she said, because while it is often necessary for job opportunities, college is characterized by high costs, low productivity and sustaining privilege in society.

Cantor said an approach combining examin-ing costs and serving the public is needed.

If the primary focus of college is cost, com-munity colleges would serve as vocational schools for the growing number of students from low-income backgrounds that attended under-funded public schools, while four-year institutions would become even more selective, she said.

Community colleges can be great starting places for success, but such an approach would be far from ideal if selective colleges continue to only educate those who are already the most prepared, she said.

“From a pure productivity perspective, this clarification of purpose in higher education might be highly effective, even if it would per-petuate a legacy of separate and unequal educa-tion, as a Century Foundation task force has recently pointed out,” Cantor said.

She suggests universities focus on cultivating different groups of students, instead of accepting people with “high SATs and hoping they are still smart when they leave.” This is critical for social mobility in a time when the nation’s demographics are shifting, she said.

“The stakes couldn’t be higher,” Cantor said. “If we don’t change the fate of our metro-politan communities, and instead continue to waste a larger and larger share of our nation’s talent pool, we can’t succeed by any measure of productivity.”

DONATIONSF R O M P A G E 1

SOLD OUTUniversity Union’s ninth annual Juice Jam concert sold out all 8,500 tickets on Wednesday, Sept. 5, at 1:30 p.m., four days before the concert. The concert, fea-turing electronic dance music disk jockey Calvin Harris, rapper Childish Gambino and hip-hop act The Dean’s List, set a record for the highest-selling Juice Jam concert UU has put on.

“I would love to see Juice Jam as a charitable concert. It’s a great tradition for the future and really adds to the show.”

Lindsey ColegroveUNIVERSITY UNION PRESIDENT

of the shooting, which took place July 20 dur-ing a midnight premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises.” A shooter killed 12 people and wounded 58 others in the attack.

Barton was among the injured victims.

“The timing of the tragedy coincided with the planning of Juice Jam,” said Ken Con-sor, director of concerts for University Union. “Stephen was a big factor in why we decided to donate the proceeds. It hit close to home.”

Barton, who was shot in the neck, face and arm, was involved in selecting the organization where donations would be made, Consor said.

The ninth-annual Juice Jam sold 8,500 tick-ets, setting a record for the highest-selling Juice Jam concert UU has organized.

UU and Barton decided on the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance, an orga-nization committed to restoring balance and healing into the lives of crime victims and their families, according to its website. All of the donations currently being made to COVA go directly to the Aurora victims and their

families. The donations help pay for victims’ airfare, rental cars and emergency fund situ-ations, according to its website.

“Stephen knew better than we would on how to help the Aurora victims,” said Lindsey Colegrove, UU president.

This is not the first year that UU has donated proceeds from Juice Jam to charity. Last year’s Juice Jam concert took place on Sept. 11, so UU decided to donate some of the concert’s proceeds to SU’s chapter of the Bet-ter Together for 9/11 initiative.

“I would love to see Juice Jam as a chari-table concert,” said Colegrove, a senior public relations and information management and technology major. “It’s a great tradition for the future and really adds to the show.”

Barton made a surprise appearance at Juice Jam to inform SU students of the dona-tion. Barton, who gave the student commence-ment speech in May, thanked the cheering crowd for all the support the SU community has given him during the past few months.

“After what happened to me, I realized that you have to live life to the fullest,” Barton told the crowd. “And, I can’t think of a better thing to do on a Sunday afternoon than to listen to Calvin Harris.”

In the last two weeks, America has witnessed both the Democratic and Republican national conventions.

The speeches have given the Ameri-can people a choice in the country’s direction. While the two leaders may disagree on the issues, their speeches did little to assure the American public that actual progress could be made on major issues facing the country.

Former President Bill Clinton placed the blame for dissatisfaction with government on Republicans. In his DNC speech, he said, “Though I often disagree with Republicans, I actually never learned to hate them the way the far right that now controls their party seems to hate our presi-dent and a lot of other Democrats.”

During Clinton’s speech, he recount-ed instances in which he has worked with Republicans. He said, “What works in the real world is cooperation.”

One year ago, Barack Obama made a plea to Congress to pass the American Jobs Act. He appealed to the public to pass the act, which would invest in public sector jobs and infrastructure. The act would have raised taxes on the wealthy to fund these projects.

Many of Obama’s plans have been rejected by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and blocked in the Senate. His plans have merit, but will not be passed without more biparti-san support. In his acceptance speech at the DNC, he made little mention of the way he would put his plans into action.

Mitt Romney’s plans to cut taxes on high-income individuals to create job growth are plans Republicans can endorse and support. For these plans to be implemented, both sides will need to be satisfied. American democracy does not function if no compromise between parties exists.

Romney spoke about the success he had in business during his speech. He said, “The president has disappointed America because he hasn’t led Ameri-ca in the right direction. He took office without the basic qualification that most Americans have and one that was essential to his task. He had almost no

experience working in a business. Jobs to him are about government.”

Some voters believe Romney’s expe-rience qualifies him to be president. If Romney intends to run the government like a business, he will be disappointed. Government is run for the collective good of the people — not for a profit. In business, leaders can more authority over a company. In government, leaders collaborate to pass legislation.

Romney’s plan for job growth, like Obama’s, has features which will not attract support from the opposing side. He wants North American energy independence at the cost of damaging the environment by expanding utiliza-tion of oil and coal. He also plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with a plan that does not solve the nation’s healthcare problem.

Re-electing Obama or electing Rom-ney will not instantly solve the nation’s problems. Even though the two have different visions, their visions are meaningless if they cannot act on them. Their plans will be unrealized unless they find a way to collaborate between the opposing sides.

If Americans value a government that can improve job growth, they must elect a leader who can compromise.

Although students were offered discounted presale tickets for the One World Concert on Friday, the number of tickets available — 5,000 —was too low.

To put the number of tickets in per-spective, 8,500 tickets were available for Sunday’s Juice Jam, which sold out and was the largest Juice Jam concert to date. Last spring, 12,000 tickets were available for Block Party. Those events are run by University Union.

The One World Concert features more artists than most concerts at Syracuse University, and the Dalai Lama will speak, as well. A total of 30,000 tickets are available for the event, and though students can purchase tickets in the general sale, more tickets should have been made available to just students.

The 5,000 discounted tickets sold out in less than 90 minutes on Friday. On Saturday, university offi-cials made more tickets available for student purchase, but they were no longer at the student-discount price and were also available to alumni, faculty, staff and athletics donors.

Regardless, students who really want to see the Dalai Lama will most likely spend the extra money and make the effort to purchase tickets. But the university should have worked harder to open this opportu-nity to students.

While there were not enough tickets made available for solely stu-

dents, the move to limit students to purchase one ticket only during the presale was a positive. The tickets were loaded directly onto the stu-dents’ SUIDs, the same way season tickets are placed on IDs for football and men’s basketball games.

Taking this step will cut down on the number of tickets scalped and allow more students to enjoy the event. No one student can buy multiple tickets and prevent others from purchasing one.

The one-ticket limit is good for students, but university officials should have done more to extend the opportunity to attend such a landmark event to more students. The brisk timeframe in which the discounted tickets sold out indicates this, as well.

T he fairgrounds, which played host to The Great New York State Fair for 12 days, has undergone its year-

ly transformation.The butter sculpture will now do the same. The State University of New York Col-

lege of Environmental Science and Forestry has turned the iconic butter sculpture into biodiesel for the past four years to power its vehicle fleet, according to its website.

The sculpture, housed in the dairy building, is the centerpiece of the 12-day New York State Fair and acts as a tribute to New York state’s dairy farmers, according to the website.

This year’s sculpture was carved out of 800 pounds of butter and incorporated the themes of Greek yogurt and the Olympics, according to an Aug. 22 WSYR-TV article. The sculpture depicted two children and a cow in a toga standing around a yogurt bowl carrying torches and wearing medals.

The butter is converted into biodiesel at a production facility on ESF’s campus. It takes a week to convert the butter sculpture to biodiesel.

First, the butter is clarified in order to remove water and milk proteins and separate out the triglycerides. The triglyc-erides are then split in a reactor to create biodiesel. About nine pounds of butter are needed to make a gallon of biodiesel, accord-ing to the website.

Thirty-seven percent of ESF’s vehicle fleet currently runs on some form of renew-able energy, including biodiesel, according to the website.

Jessica Bohn, biodiesel production man-ager at ESF, could not be reached for comment.

The biodiesel program began in 2006, when used fry oil from Sadler Hall was first con-verted to biodiesel, Christopher Nomura, a chemistry professor at ESF, said in an email.

In 2008, Nomura said the American Dairy Council approached ESF President Neil Murphy about turning the sculpture into biodiesel.

that thrives off out-of-towners coming in for game days, home games at the Dome bring in crowds — about ten times as many customers as usual.

Though there was a bit of a rush at Manny’s the day before the USC game, it wasn’t the same as the “good days,” Nester said.

“We just wish the games would stay here,” he said. “They have a great facility here, they spend a lot of money on the Dome and it’s good for the fans, too.”

Sue Edson, assistant director of athletic com-munications at SU, told The Post-Standard in a Sept. 8 article that the MetLife home game is a chance for SU’s football team to play in an NFL stadium, which helps with future recruiting.

She also said more games would be played in the Dome if not for last-minute scheduling conflicts, such as Texas Christian University joining the Big 12 rather than the Big East.

But it’s tough on the student fans. Kayla Bill, a sophomore health and exercise

science major who considers herself a big SU football fan, traveled down to New Jersey for Saturday’s game. She said she had never been to a football game in a stadium that large.

But she also said traveling that far for a home game was tiring, and that she isn’t sure she could regularly make the trip.

“That will depend on how far and how much money I would have to spend because of college student syndrome,” she said.

SU has a large fan base in New York City, and the SU community had the opportunity to experience a home game in the New York metro area, and then enjoy the city for the weekend.

But for some SU alumni residing in New York, SU football and the New York City experi-ence shouldn’t mix.

“I’d rather have it here in Syracuse,” said Matthew Lum, a 2012 graduate visiting cam-pus for the weekend. “People travel up here just for that reason.”

Nicole Roberts, also a 2012 graduate residing in New York City, doesn’t think it’s fair to the students, either.

Said Roberts: “When I go to a Syracuse foot-ball game, I want to be in the Dome.”

to look. Summons is designed to pinpoint specific data for efficient results, McLaughlin said.

The layout of the new search engine appears similar to the search engine Google, a familiar tool for students and faculty. A student can type his or her query into the search bar or use the Advanced Search to obtain more specific results, she said.

Results are automatically listed by relevan-cy. Students can refine searches through the options listed, by selecting particular content types, excluding articles, narrowing publica-tion dates and locations, and choosing subject terms, McLaughlin said.

Students also have the ability to save results

and return to them for more information, links and citation formats. New additions to Sum-mons will be accessible as the vendor makes them available, she said.

Summons is able to index the entire SU cat-alog, which consists of more than 500 online databases and 80,000 electronic journals, schol-arly articles, government documents, books and eBooks, newspapers, manuscripts and interac-tive media, such as video and audio recording, according to an Aug. 20 SU Library news release.

Rare, expensive materials and books once overlooked by students are now more accessible, McLaughlin said.

Students are not the only ones that must adapt to the new system, though. The SU librar-ians were the first on campus to use Summons and were among the first to be trained to navi-gate the store of data, McLaughlin said.

Maggie Teschler, a freshman in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, said she worries that the hands-off nature of Summons may distance the student from the personal input of a librarian.

But she still sees Summons as a great improvement.

“It’s infinitely helpful to have a smaller, more concise database,” Teschler said. “And it saves paper, which is cool.”

McLaughlin said she hopes Summons will create a more independent, accessible research experience for the student in an updated environment. So far, she said, responses have been positive.

“We’ve had a lot of good feedback,” McLaugh-lin said. “People have been tweeting about it.”

Harris is most famous for his hit single, “Feel So Close,” and his collaboration with Rihanna, “We Found Love.” Though Harris didn’t talk to the audience as often as his co-headliner, Childish Gambino, he put on an elaborate light show. The jam-packed concert took place on a sunny day, uncharacteristic for the annual Juice Jam, which previously has been held in unfortunate weather conditions. The concert took place at Skytop Field on South Campus. SEE PAGE 10

I n order to truly enjoy the wonder and charm of New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fash-ion Week, one must ferociously embody the

spirit of whimsical fabrics, evening gowns and the enthusiasm of the fashion gods themselves. Mr. Jason Wu, I’m looking at you — or rather, your cosmic get-ups.

Now I’m not talking about sashaying across campus with your hair sleeked back and your eye-brows whitened out like you’re Kate Moss in 1999. I’m talking about indulging in the little touches, the pieces that can take an outfit from simple to sophisticated, from girly to glamorous.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the risky out-fits and outrageous designs some designers put on the runway this weekend. Take, for example, Tibi’s boxy, oversized dresses, or Thakoon’s bird-embroidered blouses. Think of it as a way of throwing it all out there for aspiring young trendsetters to pick and choose at their own lik-ing. One could also look at it as a way for fashion designers to flaunt their luxurious pieces in a broke student’s tear-stained face, but that’s terri-tory better left untouched. Since Fashion Week began, several versatile pieces are now catching the eyes of fashionable ladies across the country.

Let’s talk about floral pieces. The trend has hit its all-time high, especially since opening week-end on campus showed floral-flaunting at its best. From sneakers to clutches to the classic summer dress, it’s print galore out there. This week’s run-ways showed the versatile print in another form: needlepoint.

Before playing its opening set for Calvin Har-ris and Childish Gambino on Sunday, hip-hop group The Dean’s List sat down with The Daily Orange to talk about undergoing a name change, their upcoming album and playing new songs live.The Daily Orange: Why did you guys decide to change your name from The Dean’s List to The King’s Dead?DJ Mendoza: We were never too fond of The Dean’s List. The branding caught on, but the name definitely put us in a box, and people thought we’d be making really fratty music. We’ve been evolving musically.Sonny Shotz: The king kind of represents the mainstream and everyday way of thinking, which is kind of dead. We don’t want to write radio songs because a lot of what’s on the radio isn’t what we want to do as artists.The D.O.: How have fans reacted to the name change?Mendoza: People were kind of confused when we switched names on Twitter, but it hasn’t been too bad. It’s still us, just under a different name then The Dean’s List.Shotz: I wish I could tell you where we came

up with the name The Dean’s List. We never put too much thought into it. The D.O.: What can you tell me about your new album, “Jerusalem”?Mendoza: I’ve really been into Middle-East-ern music, and there’s a lot of influence there.Shotz: It’s just epic, since Jerusalem is the holiest city in the world. We wanted it to sound like that.Mendoza: We worked on it a lot over the summer after we put out “Generation X.” We try to pump out two projects a year, since summer and winter are good times to work on music. It has 18 tracks and we’re really excited about it.The D.O.: What’s it like playing a show with Childish Gambino and Calvin Harris?Mendoza: It’s cool when you get to play shows with artists you really respect. I’m a fan of Gambino. My little brother actually almost came for this concert because he loves him on “Community.”The D.O.: Do you ever get tired of playing some of your older songs?Mendoza: Yes. (Laughs.) It’s good to see appre-ciation for them, but we just want to move on from some of the old songs. But since fans expect us to play some of them, we still do.

patterns have recently made waves at Dolce & Gabbana and are about to take over the handbag section at your favorite boutique. It’s as simple as adding a hair band or clutch to your wardrobe. You’ll be ready for the runway and bingo night all in the same outfit.

If bingo night doesn’t fit your schedule of extracurricular activities, though, take leather as your ticket to wilder, more adventurous activities. After spending a year in bright-colored bottoms, designers are trying to make things a little more black and white. From Alexander Wang’s strategically-placed cutouts to Jason Wu’s leather skirts and brassiere-style tops, leather has moved from wild child appeal to chic status. Replacing your favorite bandage skirt or go-to party top with shiny leather material can produce the same effects for your night-out wardrobe. Wiping off the spilled drink from your newly added leather has never been easier.

Now, if you’re looking for a little risk taking in the outfit arena, the most difficult style to pull off this season won’t be the tantalizing fishnet stockings or the animal-print action. It’ll be the trend that will, quite literally, choke most fash-ionistas out of their element. Yes, we’re talking turtlenecks here.

From Jill Stuart to Billy Reid, designer col-lections showed the evolution from the lace Peter Pan collars we saw throughout the year to the buttoned-up collars inhabiting this week’s run-ways. With Syracuse winter weather appearing on savvy shoppers’ radars, picking up some high-collared jackets and sweaters won’t take much extra effort. However, resist the urge to go for a basic, long-sleeved turtleneck. Leave the collars of your outermost layers for a classier look.

For shoppers across the globe, New York Fashion Week is a first look at what will define the coming year in trends and style. With just a few days left of even more hullabaloo, it’s important to take it all in, step by step. Adding simple yet defining pieces to any outfit can create the perfect canvas for adventurous, new forays in the fashion arena.

How to incorporate New York Fashion Week into your own wardrobe

Q&A with The Dean’s List

piled together in the pit for a closer glance at the comedy star turned rapper.

“He’s great,” said Divya Malkani, a junior advertising major. “Heartbeat is my favorite song of his.”

Donning a jaunty black beanie, Gambino stormed the stage with his touring band for a performance of “Outside,” the opener from his debut, full-length album, “Camp.” Emotively flailing his hands and gesturing for the crowd to sing the track’s chorus, Gambino idly chat-ted up the crowd between songs.

“You’ve got some pretty girls here,” he said to a roar of love-struck shouts.

He rattled off a clip of hits in rapid succes-sion, including “Fire Fly” and “Freaks and Geeks,” while his lyrics flashed by on the LED screen, serving as the backdrop of the stage. His touring band flaunted its versatil-ity: Musicians who played guitar for songs like “Heartbeat” picked up violins for “All the Shine” and “L.E.S.”

Gambino showed flashes of his comedy styling, engaging the crowd in witty banter from making a roll call of girls in attendance to draping a plain white T-shirt over his head for an a cappella, freestyle rap, featuring the line, “I go too H.A.M. at Juice Jam.”

“I’m looking at the crowd, and it’s like, is there grass here?” he asked.

He wrapped up his set with a smattering of tracks from his latest mixtape, “Royalty.” Steve G. Lover, who contributed a few verses to the mixtape, joined Gambino on stage for songs like “One Up” and “Unnecessary.”

“He was amazing,” Malkani said. “The set was so good and he put on an awesome performance.”

After Gambino’s exit, as the crew put together the stage for Calvin Harris, Uni-versity Union concert director Ken Consor announced that $1 from each of the tickets sold would go to support victims of the July 20 Aurora, Colo. movie-theater shooting. The crowd erupted in cheers.

Prior to Gambino’s set, The Dean’s List opened the show, with rapper Sonny Shotz lamenting his decision to wear a black shirt onstage.

That offbeat, often deadpan humor per-vaded The Dean’s List’s high-octane set. At one point, Shotz laughed after telling concertgoers to take out their lighters for a song.

“Never mind, it’s daytime. Put the cell phones away,” he said with a chuckle.

A few new tracks from the newly renamed group, now officially known as The King’s Dead, also made their concert debut.

“We’d just like to move on from some of our old songs,” DJ Mendoza, the Dean’s List pro-ducer, who sat perched behind his laptop, said in an interview before the show. “We really like playing new songs live.”

Although the headliners didn’t premiere any brand-new songs, their mixes of fan favor-ites and deeper cuts kept the party going.

Harris’ setup mirrored Kaskade’s from Block Party 2012: Both had a jumbo-sized DJ stand equipped with video screens. The DJ, who wore only one headphone over his ear, quickly announced himself to the crowd before dropping a reverberating electronic beat.

“If you’re feeling good right now, I want to see your hands up,” said Harris, wooing the crowd with a thick Scottish accent.

The DJ didn’t engage verbally with the crowd much, instead preferring to let his mixes do the talking. He scripted the crowd’s movements, orchestrating timely handclaps and fist-pumps, while bouncing back and forth behind the booth. The audience worked them-selves into a euphoric frenzy.

Though Harris’ set was heavy on his own chart-toppers, including Rihanna collabora-tion “We Found Love,” he spliced other artists’ hits into his set list, weaving in Swedish House Mafia’s “Save the World” and Daft Punk’s “Around the World.”

“Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and take care of yourselves,” Harris yelled over the crowd.

After his farewell, he continued play-ing for another 15 minutes before winding down his pulse-pounding beats. Students shouted for Harris to continue even after he stepped off stage.

Like Harris’ extended outro, the ninth-annual Juice Jam felt like a concert that none of the 8,500 attendees wanted to leave early.

A t the start of the semester, you’ll probably find yourself with a lot of new friends and a tremen-dous lack of money. Here are a few games that

can help appease both your pals and your [email protected]

joystickevery other monday in pulp

COUCH CO-OP

“Spelunky”Platform: Xbox 360 ($15)

“Spelunky” hates its players. Furthermore, it makes its players hate each other. It’s essen-tially an “Indiana Jones” simulator full of ran-domly generated temple ruins, hostile jungles and booby-trapped caves. The randomness, though, breeds some punishing levels. The futility of it really transforms the four-player “cooperative” mode. “Throw a rope for your friends to climb on” quickly becomes “Pick up your friends and throw them onto spikes.” Even in death, their ghosts can still push you into enemies or, heaven forbid, aggravate the shotgun-toting shopkeepers. Deathmatch mode encourages bad behavior even more. Smaller levels and more bombs make everyone a loser. Don’t get me wrong, though. It’s all demonic fun. Just make sure to plan a good Zen activity for when you’re done.

FARAWAY FRIENDS

“Team Fortress 2”Platforms: PC, Mac (Free)

This 5-year-old game just gets better with age. The mercenary fighting game has been free to play since last year, and the most recent free update adds a new “Mann vs. Machine” mode, allowing up to six players to work together, fend-ing off an army of robots. It also doubles as a great way to learn the game without getting destroyed by those who have been playing for half a decade. Medics and engineers can do a lot to support their teammates while scouts and soldiers rush into battle. Play with your friends from back home, or just gather a bunch of laptops. With nine different classes to play as, hundreds of items to unlock and exactly zero dollars standing in your way, there’s no excuse not to try it.

“McPixel”Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux ($10), iOS, Android ($3)

“McPixel” throws you into a scene without context. All you know is that you have 20 sec-onds to stop a bomb from going off. None of the situations make any sense. Click on the copier? McPixel makes a copy of his butt. Use the bone on the cow? McPixel has relations with the cow. Give a candle to Buddha? Buddha sneezes, caus-ing the bomb to fall out the window. Every bit of it is entirely inexplicable, but the intentionally inferior graphics, almost-annoying music and overall ridiculousness will certainly keep you entertained. The creator’s promise to add free content is just a bonus. Have your friends yell out solution ideas; it’s not like they’ll be any dumber than the correct one.

PASS & PLAY

“Slender”Platforms: PC, Mac (Free)

You’re alone in a park. It’s dark, all you have is a flashlight and there is a tall, faceless man in a suit right behind you. This storyline, based on the Internet myth of Slender Man, tasks you with finding eight hastily scrawled notes. Each note collected builds up the tension, adding layers to the ominous music and making the Slender Man faster. As he gets closer, video static starts to fill your screen, and if you catch a glimpse of him, a hard piano sting will make you jump out of your seat. Challenge your friends to see who can find the most notes; my record is six. Each run lasts about 15 minutes, but the terror lasts forever.

Syracuse’s offense continues to roll. The Orange has scored four or more goals

in three consecutive games after only doing so once last season.

After scoring 20 goals in 2011, Syracuse has recorded 15 in the

past three games and has pushed its overall tally to 19.

Following a 6-0 pummeling of Colgate and a 4-0 win over NJIT, the Orange (5-1) continued its sizzling start to the season with a 5-0 win over St. Bonaventure on Sunday afternoon. While the Orange’s offense is scoring at a dizzying pace, the defense has locked down on nearly every opponent.

“To go on the road and get two shutouts is great,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said in a phone interview. “That’s the foundation of our team. They showed a willingness to put their body on the line.”

McIntyre says that St. Bonaventure was

aggressive early on and kept the Orange in check to start the game.

“It was closer than a 5-0 score line,” he said. “They came out and they frustrated us early on. We weathered that storm and then caught a couple of late goals. I’m very proud of the boys over the whole tournament.”

Syracuse took a 1-0 lead in the 26th minute when Stefanos Stamoulacatos scored his first career goal off a pass from Louis Clark.

Lars Muller pushed the margin to two in the 37th minute off a cross from Ted Cribley. Muller added a second goal less than three minutes later, this time off a pass from Stamoulacatos.

Alex Bono posted his fourth shutout in six games for Syracuse, while Tony Asante scored his team-leading fifth goal. Ted Cribley pushed the lead to five with a goal in the 76th minute.

SU travels to Las Vegas to face the Universi-ty of Nevada Las Vegas and Cal State Fullerton in the UNLV Nike Invitational, which starts Friday night.

Syracuse field hockey picks up 2 wins on road trip to New EnglandSyracuse extended its perfect season with two New England wins.

The No. 2 Orange (5-0) used second-half goals to break a tie in both games, beating No. 24 University of New Hampshire on Friday and capturing a shutout over No. 12 Boston University on Sunday.

Gillian Pinder scored an unassisted goal at 8:25 in the first half, but UNH’s Meg Flatley answered at 9:33. The teams entered halftime tied 1-1, but the Wildcats (2-3) struck first in the second half. Megan Bozek pushed UNH ahead 2-1 in the 46th minute.

Trailing late in the second half, Iona Hol-loway connected with Lauren Brooks to tie the game with 5:48 remaining.

Freshman Alyssa Manley notched her first career collegiate goal with an assist from Alys-sa Murray with less than a minute remaining in regulation as the Orange recorded the 3-2 win and outshot the Wildcats 18-5.

In its second game of the road trip, Syracuse downed BU 2-0. After a scoreless first half, Jordan Page scored for SU 58 minutes into the game. Russell followed that up just 59 seconds later for her third goal in five games.

SU opens its Big East schedule against Vil-lanova at home on Friday at 4 p.m.

Women’s soccerSyracuse split a pair of games at the Black Knight Classic in West Point, N.Y.

The Orange (3-3-1) defeated Long Island (1-4) on Friday 2-1 with a last-minute goal by fresh-man Erin Simon to break the tie and secure a Syracuse victory. SU’s second game against Army (4-4) was close until the end, but the Black Knights prevailed 1-0.

The Orange plays at home for the first time in nearly two weeks to begin Big East play

against UConn (4-2-1) at 7 p.m. Thursday.

VolleyballSyracuse won two of its three matches at the Iowa State Challenge in Ames, Iowa, last week-end. The Orange (5-5) rebounded in Iowa after dropping four straight matches at the Bluejay Invitational a week earlier.

The Orange came out strong in its first match Friday against Iowa, taking a 2-1 lead, but the Hawkeyes came back to win 3-2.

SU defeated Eastern Washington in straight sets in its second match on Friday. The 3-0 (25-17, 25-21, 25-19) win marked the end of a five-game losing streak. Syracuse then defeated No. 18 Iowa State in five sets to earn an impressive upset.

The Orange returns home for the week before traveling to Buffalo on Friday for the Blue and White Classic. Syracuse starts play in the University of Buffalo’s tournament against Hartford at 4:30 p.m. Friday.

Cross countryCarrying momentum from strong performances in the season-opening Harry Lang Invitational, Syracuse traveled to Hanover, N.H., for the Dart-mouth Invitational this weekend.

In the second invitational of the season, the No. 12 men’s cross country team made a state-ment and placed first with eight harriers in the Top 10. The No. 9 women’s team placed third.

In her first race of the season, senior Sarah Pagano was the top performer for the Orange, coming in seventh place with 21:38.70.

The Orange will have a weekend off before competing at the Toledo Bubble Buster on Sept. 21.

Childish sudoku

against an elite program all in the name of more exposure that ultimately won’t matter.

The Trojans struggled early on, but clicked like we all knew they would in the second half. Quarterback Matt Barkley threw for six touchdowns, and wide receivers Robert Woods and Marqise Lee burned SU’s secondary for five of them.

USC head coach Lane Kiffin credited Syra-cuse for a good game, but he also said the atmo-sphere didn’t exactly make for a high-intensity game — a stark contrast to the packed stadiums the Trojans normally play in.

“I thought they (USC) did a really good job for a game that is not real easy to play,” Kiffin said. “First off, the East Coast, the two days, NFL stadium, not much attendance, lower than I think people thought, so there wasn’t a whole

lot of energy, and then the delay — so, a lot of reasons why they could’ve not performed well.”

Lack of attendance. Lack of energy. Not exactly the type of environment SU was hoping for.

And the weather delay of more than an hour while lightning storms and possible tornadoes passed through? Wouldn’t have happened at a true SU home game.

This game wasn’t a part of non-student, season-ticket packages, so Syracuse fans had to buy separate tickets just to make the four-hour trip to MetLife Stadium. To make fans shell out more money to make the trip in a tough economic climate to see their own team seems unfair, to say the least.

But Syracuse relied on some of those fans making the trip and hoped its alumni base in the New York City area would come out to MetLife to watch the Orange.

That didn’t happen. Next season, SU will play Penn State at the

Meadowlands. If fans didn’t come out to see Syracuse play the No. 2 team in the country, they won’t want to come out to see a Nittany Lions team that’s a shell of its former self.

After the game Saturday, SU head coach Doug Marrone couldn’t discuss the benefit of the extra exposure. The loss stung and clouded any positives.

“Now it’s hard for me to answer that ques-tion,” Marrone said. “And I think it’s a great question. During the week, we talked about the recruiting, the venue. Right now, it’s hard for me to answer that question the way I would have during the week because I’m hurt about the outcome.”

That’s because, when all is said and done, it’s still a loss regardless of any increased exposure.

But this game could’ve been a win against almost any other team.

Syracuse remained competitive with USC for much of the game. But in the end, Southern

California’s talent was simply too much to beat. The Trojans are ranked No. 2 and a national champion favorite for a reason.

If Syracuse played any other out-of-confer-ence team in the Carrier Dome, it’s reasonable to assume the Orange could be 1-1 right now, given the way it played Saturday.

“We did win the moral victory; at the end of the day, everyone has wins and losses,” SU wide receiver Alec Lemon said. “We can play with the best out there and we feel confident going on the rest of the year.”

The way Syracuse coaches and players spoke after the game, it was as if the goal was to stick with the Trojans. And if Syracuse fails to make a bowl game by one win again, this game will hover as a mistake for a second-straight year.

Southern California. The Orange (0-2) stuck with the Trojans (2-0) for three quarters, but the team couldn’t overcome the offense’s slow start in a 42-29 loss at MetLife Stadium on Saturday night.

When it was over, Syracuse had a four-hour trip home to consider how the early intercep-tions, dropped passes and inconsistency on offense derailed its upset bid.

“We’ve got to start faster. You could sit there and say it was another great performance, it was great this and that, but that’s coming in the second half,” offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett said. “We’ve got to do that right out of

the gate, and I think that’s the biggest thing now is, ‘let’s just go.’”

Hackett said there wasn’t an extra emphasis on scoring early because the opponent was USC. That’s simply part of the game plan, regardless of who’s on the other sideline. But against the Trojans, a team that would capitalize on any mistake, it could have changed the game.

Especially on a day when USC was sluggish early.

On Syracuse’s third play of the game, Trojans linebacker Dion Bailey intercepted a Nassib pass. Then, on the second play of the Orange’s next drive, wide receiver Marcus Sales had a pass slip right through his hands.

Syracuse’s ensuing possession ended with a three-and-out after wide receiver Jarrod West missed a catch. The miscues saw Syracuse fin-

ish the first half with just three points from a field goal by kicker Ross Krautman.

The Orange had the chance to make a state-ment early, but went into halftime trailing by 11.

“There were some situations out there you just wish, ‘Golly, you just make one play here or there, it could really change it,’” SU head coach Doug Marrone said. “We felt we were in it. We were in this football game.”

Through two weeks, Hackett said the incon-sistency of his offense has been a recurring problem.

Hackett called them “mishaps.” He said Nas-sib played a great game, but he made some mis-takes. As did Sales and the SU running backs. The mishaps built up, the hole got deeper and the Orange suffered its second loss of the season.

In the bowels of the stadium after the game, Hackett could only shake his head when he thought back to the first half. Southern Califor-nia piled up 102 more yards of total offense and held the ball for nearly twice as long.

“We just got off to a slow start, and what we needed to do is just come together, and just get a good drive going,” Kobena said. “And you see how that worked out for us in the second half.”

After a long halftime due to a weather delay, the Orange offense ran more efficiently. A well-balanced attack moved the chains, with touch-downs by Sales and running back Prince-Tyson Gulley cutting the deficit to a mere five points heading into the fourth quarter.

USC answered with two quick touchdowns to put the game out of reach, but the Orange tacked on two more scores in the final period. Sales hauled in another touchdown and Nassib finished a 19-play, 70-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run late to make it 42-29.

All told, Syracuse scored 26 second-half points compared to a measly three before the half.

The SU offense found a brief rhythm, but the slow start doomed the team in another loss. If inconsistency hadn’t plagued his unit again, Hackett said he could see a different scene play-ing out on the field.

The Orange fell by 13 points, but it could’ve been closer.

Said Hackett: “I’d love to play this team again.”

time before the juggernaut rounded into form.“We’re never really going to shut them down

and stop them from making plays,” Syracuse linebacker Marquis Spruill said.

True to form, Barkley and Co. made quick work of the blank scoreboard early in the sec-ond quarter. Barkley (23-for-30, 187 yards, six touchdowns, one interception) connected with Lee on a 13-yard slant route to open the scor-ing on the Trojans’ first possession, and later dropped in a beautiful 29-yard touch pass to Woods despite near-perfect coverage by SU cor-nerback Ri’Shard Anderson, who even had a hand between Woods’ arms.

USC took a 14-3 lead into halftime, and its offensive triumvirate continued clicking in the second, despite a break of more than an hour due to heavy downpours and thunderstorms.

The Trojans’ first possession in the second half culminated with another Barkley-to-Woods touchdown, this time victimizing Syracuse cor-nerback Brandon Reddish. He, too, got a hand between Woods and the ball, only to see the All-American wrestle it away for a 4-yard score

on a bullet pass from Barkley.It left Reddish shaking his arms in frustra-

tion, knowing that his coverage was essentially perfect, yet Woods still found a way to score.

“He just took it and scored a touchdown,” Reddish said. “On certain plays, Barkley just throws it to the right spot for his receivers to make plays.”

Reddish’s statement is personified through Barkley’s two fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Lee on nearly identical fade routes. Each time, he lofted the ball up and over the head of Anderson, who was beaten on three of Barkley’s six scores on Saturday, for Lee to pluck nimbly out of the air.

Together Lee and Woods combined for 159 receiving yards, five touchdowns and 329 all-purpose yards.

Barkley said he would bet on his two receivers every time in one-on-one coverage. But when Lee’s third and final touchdown beat double cover-age from Syracuse on a 3-yard fade to the back left corner of the end zone, it was clear that, some-

times, USC’s one is better than its opponent’s two.“They just made some good plays, did a nice

job,” said Scott Shafer, SU’s defensive coordina-tor, who was visibly frustrated after the game. “Hats off to Southern California, good football team. Those kids made some nice plays.”

Perhaps no play was nicer than Woods’ 76-yard reverse that set up the touchdown that put the game out of reach at 35-16. Working from right to left across the field, Woods took a pitch from Barkley and turned the corner courtesy of a block from Lee. He cut back, unabated by the slickness of the turf, juking Syracuse strong safety Shamarko Thomas and leaving free safe-ty Jeremi Wilkes slipping toward the sidelines.

That brought the ball to the 4-yard line, and two plays later, Barkley found Lee for the game-clinching touchdown.

Said Barkley: “We had some plays in the second half that I really liked.”

By Michael CohenSTAFF WRITER

E AST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — It’s not often that a team can come out flat twice, blow most of an

18-point lead and ultimately survive on the road more than 2,700 miles from home.

Even rarer is an offense that acts

listless to start, disinterested in the middle, yet coolly puts forth 42 points with a late-game explosion that leaves its opposition grasping at thin air.

But Southern California is not most teams, and Saturday’s experi-ment away from the Carrier Dome was an environment atypical of most college football games.

A partisan crowd that appeared to contain more red than orange watched USC (2-0) ride its marquee trio of Matt Barkley, Robert Woods and Marqise Lee to a 42-29 win over Syracuse. Five of Barkley’s six touchdown passes were secured by his two star receivers, and the No. 2 team in the country demonstrated

its superior playmaking ability as it kept the Orange (0-2) winless for another week.

“They have three excellent players in Matt Barkley, Woods and Lee,” Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone said. “I think they are very elite. They are elite college football players. First-round-type caliber draft picks.”

They compose a unit that scored on its first play of the season — a 75-yard touchdown pass to Lee — last week against Hawaii, and that has come to expect similar results with each and every possession.

So when the clock expired on a score-less first quarter, it was only a matter of

E AST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — It was almost like Syracuse had to force New York’s Col-

lege Classic onto fans in the New York City area. They didn’t want it, and they proved that by barely filling half of MetLife Stadium.

The official attendance was 39,507. It looked like there was a lot more red in the stands than orange. Sure, No. 2 Southern California wouldn’t have played Syracuse in the Carrier Dome, but the Orange could’ve played

a more beatable team at home and attracted 40,000 of its own fans easily.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Jeremi-ah Kobena chuckled when he thought back to the play he didn’t make in the remaining seconds of the first half.

Syracuse had a first-and-10 on Southern California’s 20-yard line, and quarterback Ryan Nassib lofted him a pass as he crossed into the end zone. The ball hit Kobena, but Trojans defensive back D.J. Morgan batted

down the arching pass. Instead of its first touchdown of the game, the Orange had to settle for a field goal.

“I know I should’ve made a play on that ball,” Kobena said. “It wasn’t nec-essarily miscommunicated; the rule is: if the ball’s in the air, it’s mine.”

It was a miscue that reflected Syracuse’s first-half offensive strug-gles that precluded the team from delivering an early punch to No. 2

BIG NUMBERThe number of yards USC wide receivers Robert Woods and Marqise Lee combined for on Saturday. The pair accounted for 21 of quarterback Matt Barkley’s 23 completions and hauled in five touchdowns. Woods and Lee rushed for a combined 99 yards on two car-ries, the bulk of it coming on a 76-yard reverse by Woods.
