Stan Prue stood in the gravel parking lot near Skytop Field on South Campus on Thurs-

day and surveyed his surroundings: an office building, some parked cars, a bus that kicked up a cloud of dust as it turned around.

It felt eerie to be back, he said.It was the first time he’d put his

feet on the ground of the parking lot where he was struck by lightning one year ago.

As he spoke, a red SUV rolled up next to him and the driver rolled down the window. It was an old man and woman looking for directions to the Gebbie Hearing Clinic. Prue told them they had just passed it and it was back up the road a bit.

“That’s what I miss the most, is interacting with the community,” he said.

On Sept. 1, 2013, Prue, a Depart-

ment of Public Safety Officer, and his partner, DPS Senior Detective Ed Weber, were on Orange Watch patrol duty. They parked their car at Skytop and Prue got out to stretch. At 11:55 p.m., a bolt of lightning struck Prue, launching him a few feet away.

One year later, Prue is still recov-ering mentally and physically from the accident.

With the hopes to eventually return to SU as a DPS officer, Prue says the outpour of support dur-ing his rehabilitation has served as motivation in his recovery.

As an ongoing side effect of being struck, Prue still has trouble with his memory. He remembers pulling the car into the lot the night it hap-pened, and the next thing he recalls from that night is being worked on by officers and paramedics while he was on the ground.

“It was an eerie feeling because I didn’t know what happened,” he said. “Still today what I remember

is mostly just what people tell me.”Prue spent the next 15 days at

Upstate University Hospital. Some of the time in the hospital was spent try-

ing to process what had happened and “getting back to basics,” because he had suffered nerve and brain damage.

Cosmos Pizza & Grill, a Marshall Street institution endeared by Syr-acuse University students, faculty and staff for more than 50 years, has closed and will soon turn into a Thai and Vietnamese restaurant.

Sweet Basil Thai & Vietnamese Cuisine is planning on opening in mid-September, said Stan Tran, the restaurant’s head chef and the owner’s son-in-law. The restau-rant’s menu will be half Thai and half Vietnamese food, and will be open seven days a week — likely from 11 a.m.–11 p.m. to start, he said. Eventually, Tran said, the plan is to offer delivery.

The restaurant is being relocated from Mattydale, which is about 10 minutes north of SU, where it was strictly a Thai place.

“We don’t want to spread our-self too thin,” said Tran, a 2003 SU alumnus. “We want to concentrate on one restaurant.”

Founded in 1963 by George Cannel-los and Demo Stathis, Cosmos, at 143 Marshall St. next to Insomnia Cookies and Verizon Wireless, was known for its breakfast food and as a hangout spot for generations of SU students.

The pizza shop’s future has been uncertain since mid-May, when a sign appeared in the window saying the restaurant was closed for “mainte-nance and improvements.” In July, a “for sale” sign was put up. Cannellos died Jan. 11, 2013 and Stathis on July 27 of this year.

Tran said he did not know why

When Sam Linabury sat down in the barbershop during his junior year of high school, he had no idea he was in for more than just a haircut.

The barber began cutting his hair, but paused for a moment. There was a small bald spot on the back of his head. Linabury didn’t think anything of it.

But as the bald patch grew, Linab-ury, an undecided sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences, went to a doctor. He was diagnosed with alo-pecia universalis, a medical condi-tion that causes rapid loss of all hair.

There is no standard treatment for alopecia universalis, which can occur at any age. Linabury started taking pills and using Rogaine and steroid injections to try to get the hair to grow back. Nothing worked.

Within three months of his diag-nosis, he lost all of the hair on his body — he even has to draw on his eyebrows every day.

“I knew that when I was given the alopecia diagnosis, I knew the disease was going to be a part of me,” Linabury said.

The tattoo says “alopecia” in thick, black, gothic-like text. One of

Linabury’s artistic friends, Mina, designed the tattoo for him.

“I wear my disease every day, and I wear my tattoo every day,” Linabury said. “Every time I look at my tattoo, it is a reminder of how strong I am and how I can overcome anything.”

One of the biggest challenges he faced with the disease was going back for his senior year of high school after he had shaved his head during the summer. Linabury said he was incredibly nervous to return to school looking so different.

“I walked into school the first day,

In the Aug. 28 article “Pay Up: The Cooper Union prepares for possibility of charging tuition for first time since 1902,” Karen Imas was misquoted. In her first quote, she said “preserve,” not “prosecute.” The headline and second paragraph were also inaccurate. The Cooper Union has never charged its undergraduates tuition, but has charged students for some non-degree programs. The Daily Orange regrets these errors.

Syracuse University announced plans on Friday to expand its pres-ence in the Middle East and other places around the globe with two changes to the administration.

Chancellor Kent Sy verud appointed Elizabeth Breul O’Rourke, previously the secretary to the Board of Trustees, to the position of senior vice president for principal gifts and international advancement. In addition, James O’Connor, who has served as the executive director of Middle East advancement and external affairs since 2010, will now work exclu-sively in that region.

In light of O’Rourke’s new respon-sibilities, the Board of Trustees will conduct a search to find her replace-ment as secretary. David Smith, former vice president for enrollment management, will serve as acting sec-retary while the search takes place.

Kevin Quinn, senior vice pres-

ident for public affairs, said in an email that the overarching goal of these appointments is to further support the board and expand SU’s international advancement and development efforts. He said the appointments have been in discus-sion for some time, and it made sense to announce and implement them with the start of the academic year.

O’Rourke will report to the chancellor and continue to serve as a member of his Executive Team, according to an Aug. 29 SU News release. Quinn said she will be focused on raising the university’s profile internationally. She’ll also be developing a global advancement strategy, on which SU expects to make “very good progress in the next year,” Quinn said.

Meanwhile, O’Connor will take on a more specific role as executive director of Middle East advance-ment and external affairs. O’Con-nor has worked in the Division of Advancement and External Affairs, which includes fundraising, com-

munications and dealing with alumni, parents and friends of the university who aren’t on campus.

“The change for me is to focus on the Middle East exclusively now,” he said.

While O’Connor has worked in North Africa, the Middle East and Turkey in the past, he said he also

spent time traveling to other coun-tries as a principal gift officer. In that position, he said he would go where there were individuals who wanted to help the university in some way. But now Syverud has made expand-ing SU’s efforts in the Middle East an “institutional priority.”

Quinn said SU has a long-stand-ing group of alumni, supporters and connections in the region. One example is Prince Sultan bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, who was awarded the Chancellor’s Medal in 2012. Focusing on the Middle East will further develop on those con-nections, Quinn said.

“Given the university’s growing influence there, we believe there are new opportunities to build on our successful efforts in ways that will benefit students, faculty and the entire university,” he said.

In addition, O’Connor said there are internship opportunities for SU students in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. Those

The lower level of Bird Library is cur-rently undergoing major construc-tion to make the space, which has been unusable for months, an impor-tant resource to Syracuse University.

Once completed, the basement will have two new classrooms, a quiet reading space and an open study area. The quiet reading space and study area will be open to stu-dents as early as Oct. 6 while the classrooms are expected to be fin-ished in January.

One classroom will have 70–75 seats and belong to the Office of the Registrar. The other will have around 20 seats and be used for library instruction, said Terriruth Carrier, the assistant dean for programs, analyt-ics and facilities management at SU

Prue said doctors told him he hit his head against the ground and broke the back of his head open after being thrown by the lightning strike, resulting in a traumatic brain injury.

Some of the injuries he sustained have since gone away, but Prue still feels lingering effects on a day-to-day basis. He said he deals with daily headaches and sensitivity to noise. He wears glasses to correct his vision because he suffered nerve damage in his left eye. He can’t taste or smell. He still has paralysis in his right arm, his hands and his feet.

In order to fully recover, Prue now spends three days a week seeing doctors and therapists.

There’s also the psychological toll of hear-ing doctors say he might not recover fully, but Prue said he uses it as motivation to try and prove them wrong.

Another thing that drives Prue is the desire to get back to work and be able to support him-self and his family financially. That includes his two teenage sons. Though his medical bills relative to injuries suffered that night are cov-ered under workers compensation, he doesn’t have a steady salary while away from work.

“I have bills to pay, my children to take care of, I’m just trying to get through everyday,” he said.

Prue said he has received support during the past year from “too many people to name.” His entire family has provided emotional and financial support. His children have been there for him emotionally throughout the recovery process. Prue said his relationship with his family and close friends has strengthened after he was struck.

Thankfully, Prue said, it hasn’t just been immediate family who has been helpful.

Members of DPS and the university commu-nity have kept in touch and provided encour-agement, Prue said. One person who has been particularly supportive over the last year is DPS Sergeant James McLellan.

McLellan has worked on the same shift with Prue for about 10 years. He said when Prue was struck, everyone in the department was in disbelief.

“In this line of work there are plenty of ways to get injured performing your duties, but you never think about a lightning strike,” McLellan said.

McLellan has stayed in touch with Prue and still talks to him every couple weeks. When Prue is feeling up to it, McClellan drives him around to meet up with some of the other offi-cers who work the same shift.

Prue described driving around with McLel-lan and other officers as “bittersweet,” saying he enjoys the visits but misses not being able to do what he used to do. He said being away from work for the past year has been tough. Even a year later, he said it’s not something he’s been able to fully adjust to.

“It’s not a good feeling,” Prue said. “It’s difficult when you’re not actively engaged in something you enjoy.”

Prue is still hoping to return to work even-tually, but said it’s too premature to have that conversation given his current condition.

But even while he’s away from work, DPS Associate Chief John Sardino said Prue is still

part of the organization. Sardino said he’s seen Prue around the officea few times in the last year visiting with investigators, commanders and other DPS members.

Sardino added that when Prue was struck last September, it brought people in the department together and raised awareness among emergency responders in the region about how to handle electrical storms. When there was a large storm on freshmen move-in day this August, Sardino said the DPS officer on duty was able to give instructions to make sure families, students and workers remained indoors and stayed safe.

And while DPS has taken lessons away from one of their own being struck by lightning, Prue himself has also learned from the ups and downs of the past year.

Even as he stands in the parking lot on Skytop, Prue says he’s in pain. He knows what to expect for lingering symptoms — including a headache he can plan on every day — but said he tries to remain positive and optimistic. He said he’s learned a lot in the past year, and will continue to learn.

“We all go through our lives everyday and never appreciate that because we all anticipate tomor-row,” Prue said. “We shouldw make the best of each day because we can’t always count on tomorrow.”

Cosmos had closed. Loyal customers from the Sweet Basil restaurant in Mattydale would call whenever a location closer to them opened, Tran said. About 10 had called when Friend-ly’s went out of business in Fayetteville, and someone alerted them to the open space on

Marshall Street.A four-page special zoning permit appli-

cation for Sweet Basil Thai & Vietnamese Cuisine was filed July 28 with the Syracuse Planning Commission and approved Aug. 18.

The owners of the property are listed as Mar-shall Redfield LLC, the Jackson Family Trust and Cynthia G. Jackson, according to Onondaga County property tax records. Marshall Redfield

LLC lists Hugh Gregg II — a Syracuse lawyer whose name and phone number were on the for sale sign — as its contact, according to the New York State Department of State.

Gregg did not return six messages left at his Jamesville home as well as an email and was not in his office.

Right now, Tran said, the interior of the restaurant is almost finished. The county

health department is inspecting it next week.“As soon as they give us a green light, we can

open,” he said.Though he said there are other Asian cuisine

restaurants in the area, Tran said he hopes that Sweet Basil Thai & Vietnamese Cuisines will be there for the next 50 years — as long as Cosmos held its spot on the Hill.

Syracuse University’s decision to expand its presence in the Middle East shows promise, as it could increase the university’s international recognition and provide students with more internship opportunities. But SU should ensure that its influence reach-es all parts of the Middle East and not just westernized countries.

On Friday, the university announced its intention to increase its presence. According to the university, Chancellor Kent Syverud appointed the previous secretary to the Board of Trustees as the senior vice president for principal gifts and international advancement. James O’Connor, the executive director of Middle East advancement and external affairs, will now work solely in that region. The goal of these appointments is to further support from the Board of Trustees and expand SU’s interna-

tional development efforts, according to the university.

O’Connor said that for students, there will be increased internship opportunities in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. He also will work to recruit international students from those areas. Syverud has made it an “institutional priority” to expand SU’s reach in the Middle East, O’Connor said.

While focusing on wealthier, more westernized countries makes sense for recruiting new students and establishing internships, it is import-ant for SU to continue to promote its World Partner Programs that offer study abroad programs in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia and other Middle Eastern locations. Prioritizing wealthy, westernized countries can feel limiting to some students looking to experience more

immersion into world cultures.SU has the opportunity to

become an internationally rec-ognized program for students interested in focusing on Mid-dle-Eastern studies. The university also recently introduced an Arabic minor into the College of Arts and Sciences, due to the increasing number of students wanting to learn about the Middle East. This is the first step toward the Arabic department creating an Arabic major.

With its increased focus on the Middle East here and abroad, SU could build an influential interna-tional presence. But while building the foundation for global recogni-tion, it must maintain its reach in all Middle Eastern countries, not just the ones with the wealthiest assets.

Feminist title has become more accepted, still has long way to go

The F-word is having a major comeback. No, not that F-word.

During the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 24, Beyoncé strutted across the stage with 16-foot letters spelling out feminist with 13.6 mil-lion viewers taking it all in.

Though this generated much applause and even more criticisms, there is still a long way to go before the feminist title is accepted.

One of the criticisms was from Fox News. In an Aug. 25 article, Hollie McKay described Beyoncé’s performance as, “a smorgasbord of gyrations, leg spreads, stripper poles, body rubbing and pelvic rolls.” McKay included tweets, in which people claimed Beyoncé’s feminist message was flawed, as the performance involved stripper poles and revealing clothing.

So is it fair to call Beyoncé a feminist if she is wearing heels, makeup and wearing a glittered leo-tard? Yes. This is where feminism gets very ugly. Feminism often gets tied up with hairy armpits, hating pink and bitter women. But here’s the thing — you can still shave your legs, love to wear pink and be a feminist.

Beyoncé has been criticized on numerous occasions for exploiting her sexuality and calling herself a feminist just because it is market-able. However, modern feminism has only recently received attention after numerous celebrities — such as Amy Poehler and Tina Fey — have

spoken out about it. Feminism is still not a marketable concept; Beyoncé is just a marketable figure. She simply took an idea that has been gaining momentum and threw it right into every American’s living room.

Feminism is being rebranded and is no longer your mother and grandmother’s version. The end goal is still the same, but the newest generation is finding their own way to define it. Feminism can look like a sorority girl who wears Lilly Pulitzer or a female engineer with a buzz cut, or a mix of the two descriptions. That is the beauty in it all; women from all walks of life can take this title of feminist and make it their own. Just because someone wears feminism differently doesn’t make her any less qualified or less deserving.

The stigma of this title can be

difficult to shake off, which is why many women will start a sentence with, “I’m not a feminist but…” Separating one’s self is easier than taking the criticism of owning the title. However, adding distance to one’s self does not make gender discrimination disappear. Under-standing that there is no such thing as a good, better or best feminist can make it easier to identify as one.

This is a lesson women should take to heart. Women should know that they can still love makeup and heels and say they are a femi-nist. Determining and defining fem-inism on a personal level is integral to advancement of equality.

There is no concrete way to define feminism. Regulating how other women choose to express their ideas is farcical. We must replace judgment with acceptance

over how a woman chooses to wear feminism to take the taboo out of the title.

For the past two weeks, attendees at The Great New York State Fair have had the opportunity to see technology that could

lead to the discovery of more information on past shipwrecks.

The Great New York State Fair and the New York Sea Grant presented an exhibit this year on Great Shipwrecks of New York’s Great Lakes. The exhibit was created in partner-ship with 10 other organizations, including the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

Greg Boyer, a professor at SUNY-ESF and the director of the Great Lakes Research Consor-tium, and his research team were in charge of organizing a display that showcased the power of underwater remotely operated vehicles as part of

the exhibit. They put on demonstrations twice a day in the reflecting pool behind the fairgrounds.

Dave White, a professor at SUNY-ESF as well as the recreation specialist for the New York Sea Grant and the associate director of the Great Lakes Research Consortium, said that one goal of the display was to draw attention to the mar-itime history and culture of upstate New York. The display highlights 12 different shipwrecks across New York lakes, rivers and streams.

“Each wreck has its own history,” White said. “Learning that history can help us appre-ciate it, help us understand it, help us think about what happened before we came.”

White explained that ROVs help with this process by using its clear camera to spot a mark of identification on the ship.

Boyer, the Great Lakes Research Consortium director, said another one of the benefits of using ROVs is that it is much safer and less expensive

than using manpower. In addition, humans are usually limited to going 100 feet deep, so an ROV can allow people to see what’s further down.

Another goal of the demonstration was to increase general public knowledge, Boyer said.

“The shipwreck display is to make people aware of the amazing things under the water,” he said. “The ROV display specifically is to raise awareness about cool technology.”

Frances Knickmeyer, a graduate student at SUNY-ESF who had been helping run the ROV demonstration, agreed that the display was a great way to discover more about this technology.

“I learned a lot about the basics of what ROVs are good for,” said Knickmeyer. “There’s the sci-entific research aspect — looking at underwater vegetation, animals, they’re also good for explor-ing shipwrecks, deep water oil spills, missing per-sons. Pretty much anything and everything that’s underwater you could probably use an ROV for.”

Boyer said the vision is for students to even-tually be able to use ROVs for coursework. He added that they’re pretty easy to control, comparing them to a video game.

While it may look like a toy, the expensive gadgets are powerful research tools.

“In reality, these are a lot of the same tools they use on TV,” White said. “They’re using them to try to find the Malaysia airplane.”

White said the public may not have been aware of the technological ability of the ROVs, but they were more than willing to learn. Tens of thousands of people have visited the display and the public reaction has been positive.

“It really speaks to the richness of our mar-itime history and culture,” he said. “It’s why many people continue to live here in upstate New York. The water lures us in, so many of us live, work and play around rivers.”

INTO THE DEEP Students, professors help create state fair shipwreck exhibit


Libraries. Between October and January, a barrier

will be erected between the ongoing construc-tion and the rest of the floor. This will allow students to take advantage of the reading space and study area on the lower level, Carrier said.

“It will be noisier at times down there,” Car-rier said. “After Oct. 6, we’ll reopen the quiet room in the basement.”

The project is a continuation of the first floor renovations that were completed right before the start of the current academic year. Both construction projects are part of a com-prehensive overhaul of Bird Library that has been in the works since 2007. When funding was secured,construction started in the base-ment in 2009.

A year later, evidence of harmful PCB chemicals was found in the basement carpet. Pending approval from the US Environmen-tal Protection Agency, the project could con-tinue. Four years later, with construction at a standstill, the university finally secured the go ahead from the EPA to continue with the work.

The long delay between when the PCBs were discovered and when SU continued construc-tion is a product of the previous administra-tion’s inaction on the issue, said Deborah Pel-low, professor of anthropology and chair of the University Senate Committee on the Library.

“There was a problem with PCBs in the basement that we knew about for at least four years with nothing being done,” Pellow said. “There’s no question that the new chancellor is the reason that’s all been taken care of.”

As part of the agreement with the EPA, the carpet in the basement of Bird has to undergo testing every three to six months. Where there is potential for scratching, epoxy has been put down to prevent dust from coming up, which is where the potentially dangerous PCBs can cause health problems if inhaled, Carrier said.

“We’ve epoxied it, sealed it and done tons of testing to make sure we’ve gotten all the problem below that,” she said.

Final construction is set to be finished during the spring semester. Pellow called the library “the soul of the university,” and when the lower level is fully open, students will be able to use it in its full capacity.

opportunities are unique and sometimes will help a prospective student decide to come to SU, O’Connor said.

Connecting with alumni who are located abroad is another aspect of O’Connor’s new role.

“The purpose is to make us a better insti-tution,” he said. “To include international

alumni in all of our activity, just like we do our domestic alumni.”

He will also be working to recruit students from the Middle East to attend SU. He said hav-ing students from that region on campus in Syr-acuse can be mutually beneficial for both parties.

“There’s a lot to be gained by interacting with the institutions and people in that part of the world,” O’Connor said.

Justin Mertz likes to tell the Syracuse University Marching Band to “earthbend.”

During their pregame shows, the students perform a move that involves stepping out with their right foot and punching the air with their instruments in hand, a move similar to “earthbend-ing,” a concept from an animated show,

“Avatar: The Last Airbender.” Mertz, the director of the Syracuse

University Marching Band, is a big fan of the show and said he likes to use pop culture references to teach his students techniques and drill.

This fall marks the beginning of Mertz’s 10th season as director of the Syracuse University Marching Band. As director, Mertz’s duties include administering, recruiting for and running the rehearsals of the march-

ing band. The rehearsals can run from six to 10 hours every week.

“A lot of my teaching is metaphor and analogy,” Mertz said. “It’s using things that students already know in order to get them to do something new.”

An alumnus of the College of Visual and Performing Arts, Mertz was also actively involved in the marching band during his time at college, joining when he was a freshman. After graduating in 2001, he taught music in public schools

and received his master’s degree in music education, also from SU, before he was hired to work as director in 2005.

Because of his connection to the band, Mertz said he always strives to ensure that the students perform at the highest level.

“Being an alum and being the direc-tor of the band that I was a part of gives me an extra sense of responsibility,” Mertz said. “I know what it means to

A whole new party is coming to Syra-cuse University.

SU students will dance the night away in OttoTHON, the first ever dance marathon created for the Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospi-tal, for 12 straight hours sometime during the spring semester. Begin-

ning next week, the organization will start hosting mini-fundraisers for the marathon.

By raising $100, students can par-ticipate in the 12-hour event held in the Schine Student Center. Once the dance marathon starts, the students have the chance to raise more money throughout the night.

Britt Davis, Children’s Miracle Network dance marathon manag-

er for the East Coast, said that the money, raised by colleges and univer-sities all over the United States, goes directly to the hospitals for the kids.

“My ultimate goal for OttoTHON would be that students who attend the event would be brought into

the cause by the end of 12 hours,” Davis said. “After they see the total amount of funds raised at the end of the night, I hope the OttoTHON tradition is alive and well.”

Upstate Golisano Children’s Hos-pital, which is one of 170 Children’s Miracle Network hospitals nation-wide, has been waiting many years for the right student to come and lead SU in its dance marathon debut.

Jillian Lynch, co-founder of Otto-THON and columnist for The Daily Orange, contacted Davis about host-ing a dance marathon early last year when she found out there wasn’t one already held at SU.

“I started participating in dance events in high school and when I realized a dance marathon for Children’s Miracle Network wasn’t

Syracuse University Marching Band director draws on experience in 10th year of leading students

already a tradition at Syracuse, I contacted the Children’s Miracle Network where I was given my adviser, Britt,” Lynch said.

Lynch, the sophomore broadcast and digi-tal journalism and political philosophy major, then went on to form her executive board — a team of sophomores and upperclassmen who have been working hard to make progress on the event that has taken a year to plan.

Lynch added that OttoTHON has been working with the hospital to plan mini-events in order to kick-start the fundraising process for the dance marathon. RadioThon, which will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 10, and Thurs-day, Sept. 11, and trick-or-treating for the kids in the hospital, are just two examples of the small fundraisers.

OttoTHON’s executive board is currently in the process of registering the dance mar-athon to become a recognized student orga-nization, a title the board hopes to achieve by the end of September. The money given to the organization after the recognition will be used toward buying any goods needed for the event that local stores and organizations have not already donated.

Jessica Goldstone, a senior psychology and

public relations major and OttoTHON catering chair, said she believes that the Donor Drive system that will soon be open on the Otto-THON website will create friendly competition amongst different student organizations and individuals who fundraise for the event.

“We plan on having a lot of sororities and fraternities get involved because of their background in philanthropy, and our Greek Cup award (will be given) to the highest donating Greek organization on campus,” Goldstone said.

The executive board also plans on reaching out to multiple campus groups, including res-idence halls and student clubs. Goldstone said she’s not worried about a lack in Orange spirit and believes OttoTHON will become an SU tradition after the first dance marathon event.

Goldstone added that she got involved with OttoTHON because it was another way for her to raise money to help children at the hospital with diseases such as cancer, as well as be a part of an event that many students will attend in the coming years.

“People are going to have so much fun at OttoTHON,” Goldstone said. “It’s another way for students to get involved in philanthropy, which Syracuse University has always been really strong in.”

be a member of SUMB, and I feel like I serve the university by making sure it’s the best it can be.”

When Mertz was in college, he was a drum major under Bradley Ethington, the previous director of the SU Marching Band. Now, Eth-ington and Mertz work side by side at the Setnor School of Music as director and assistant direc-tor of bands, respectively.

“I’ve known Mertz for probably 18 years now,” Ethington said. “Ever since he left SU, we’ve stayed in touch, and we’ve become great colleagues and also great friends.”

Ethington, who has been working at SU for

20 years, said Mertz was hired as the director of marching band because his great reputation as an undergraduate and experience in music made him the strongest candidate.

Ten years later, Ethington said that Mertz’s success as a band director stems from his enthu-siasm, talent and organizational skills. He plans rehearsals down to the last minute and is respon-sible for managing the band’s busy schedule.

The SUMB is comprised of about 200 students from every college of SU, with dozens of majors represented. With such a big group of students, Mertz provides comprehensive leadership train-ing for section leaders and music instructors to lead their respective instrumental sections.

These 34 students work under Mertz and are responsible for teaching their sections the music and making sure everyone is prepared

for marching and performing. “I am so proud of the fact that we operate this

way because it shows ownership on the field,” Mertz said. “I rely on this student leadership.”

One of these students is Sangmi Borneman, a section leader for the alto saxophones. Bor-neman said Mertz is very enthusiastic about the student leadership aspect of the marching band and always give insight on how they can improve themselves and their work.

“He’s very interested in what we have to say,” the senior music education major said. “He’s very collaborative with us, so it’s very nice to be able to work with a director who listens to our ideas.”

Mertz also pays very close attention to detail, which proves useful when giving feed-back to a large band. She said Mertz gives both praise and suggestions for improvement, but never lowers his expectation of hard work from his students.

In addition to the section leaders are three drum majors, one of which is Anthony Veiga, a senior music education major. Veiga said his role is a hybrid of the section leaders and music instructors, focusing on both the music instruc-tion and show preparation aspects of the band.

From Veiga’s perspective, Mertz does a good job of balancing the roles of director and friend with the students in the marching band. He said Mertz knows how to be professional but is notoriously known for constantly using humor in his teaching and teasing his students.

“He’s just kind of like the biggest nerd in the whole world, telling jokes all the time,” Veiga said. “He’s very personable with everyone and even if he’s 50 yards away, he still does a good job of pointing people out and knowing their name.”

Mertz considers the marching band stu-dents the finest students on campus and loves seeing them grow and develop as musicians.

“They don’t receive any benefits from being in marching band, other than the educational, social and musical experience they get,” Mertz said. “They love making music, and I could not be more proud of them.”

By Isha Damlecontributing writer

Demerris Bufford is no ordinary Pasta-bilities employee.

When he’s not working as a line cook, the 25-year-old Syracuse native is also an aspiring rapper. Bufford, who is known by his stage name, “London,” has been writing original material since the age of 13.

Bufford first began recording music his fresh-man year at Monroe Community College in Rochester alongside Syracuse resident Will Coo-per. With encouragement from Cooper, Bufford decided to seriously pursue a career in music.

“At the time, it was just a hobby. I loved music but I never thought I would actually put 100 per-cent into it,” Bufford said. “I started recording more and more, and I started getting better. And before you know it, it was a full-time thing for me.”

The more time he spent writing and recording music, the more Bufford strived to produce origi-

nal songs. After using other artists’ instrumentals, Bufford said he decided to buy his own “beats” and networked with various producers via Twitter.

Cooper, Bufford’s close friend, has watched Bufford’s music evolve for more than five years. He believes that the greatest quality of Bufford’s music is its ability to relate to all people in all situations.

“Now, it’s almost like poetry,” Cooper said. “He’s taking on real-life things that most peo-ple can relate to, not just one core audience. His music is broader.”

Bufford added that he wants his audience to understand his life experiences through his music. He always stays true to himself, in the studio and onstage.

“I’m still an up-and-comer, so there’s not a lot of people in (my) audience. But no matter if there’s 100 people or five people — if it’s an audience of my closest friends or a bunch of strangers — I’m always the same person,” Bufford said. “I always come with that energy every time. I want to make that connection

between me and the crowd.” Bufford said his music is different in the way

that it isn’t focused on drugs or violence, but rather on his vulnerabilities, using his music as a means to better express himself. As a lyricist, Bufford said his goal is to make listeners feel like they’re hearing stories about a reality that may be differ-ent than their own, but that they can still relate to.

Although Bufford’s message is one of shar-ing life experiences, he wants his audience to understand that he is growing as an artist and that he has just launched his career.

“I just really want people to know that your favorite artist has started somewhere. Your favorite artist was once where I am,” Bufford said. “Nobody wakes up and is having a record deal and is getting 200 million views on You-Tube. Up-and-comers, starving artists — just give them a chance.”

Bufford continues to self-record, and although he hasn’t spent extensive time in an official recording studio, he still manag-

es to produce new material and improve his recording quality by using updated computer software and watching YouTube tutorials.

He said he also hopes to positively influence his listeners through his lyrics and sound.

“My biggest dream out of all of this would be to be able to be heard and be accepted,” Bufford said. “For my music to be heard and for you to enjoy it, and for it to be able to change your mood from bad to good or make you dance and uplift you and you know, just get you out of that slump that you (may have) been going through.”

His latest single, “Goodfellas” features Upstate New York artist Taj Mahal. They are working on a music video, which Bufford hopes will lead to the next step in his career.

“This’ll be the defining moment,” Bufford said about the video. “This’ll be if they like London or not, and if they do, then we’re going to go from here, and if they don’t, then we’re going to keep going until they do.”

seasons, Linfield has gone undefeated in the regular season and won the Northwest Con-ference. But the Wildcats lost in the round of 16 of the NCAA tournament in 2011 and in the quarterfinals in 2012 and 2013.

“It’s tough knowing we’re a successful pro-gram and each year I feel like we have the team to push all the way,” senior linebacker Westly Meng said. “It’s just if we’re going to finish. And that’s a question every year, every game that’s the thing.”

This year, Meng said, the team’s goals include finishing every workout and finishing every game. Players and coaches on Linfield feel that if they accomplish these goals, the streak will take care of itself.

Tyler Robitaille played for Linfield from 2010–13 and is now the team’s secondary coach. He said the streak isn’t talked about much internally.

“We’re prideful of it, but that’s the last thing we’re thinking about every time we enter a season,” Robitaille said. “But it’s definitely a reflection both of how Linfield recruits and how Linfield approaches every season and the expectation that we’re going to win.

“We’re going to reach the national champion-ship and the streak will just continue if we do so.”

Linfield’s roster is filled with players who could have chosen to play Division-I or Division-II foot-ball, but opted for the Wildcats’ rich tradition.

Many alumni are still attached to the program and support the team on game days. Oftentimes, former players will interact with current players

and discuss the program’s history.“It’s pretty cool when a 75, 80-year-old

man comes up to you and knows your name and shakes your hand,” former quarterback and current quarterbacks coach Aaron Boehme said, “and you have no idea who they are, but they’re just an old-school graduate

from back in the day and they’ve followed the team for years and years and years.”

When Linfield finishes practice, the last thing the team always says is “family.” And as the Wild-cats start their question for season No. 59, they’ll be striving for more than just a record.

Said Robitaille: “It’s a pretty special place in the Northwest.”

SU’s Koval provides goal, energy off bench By Liam Sullivanstaff writer

With about 10 minutes left in the first half of the game, Alexis Koval jogged in-place on the sideline, waiting for a stoppage in play so she could enter Monday afternoon’s contest against Connecticut.

A little over a minute after entering the game, Koval arced home a header off Taylor Haenlin’s throw-in into the top-left corner, tying the game in the process.

Despite being outshot 19-14, Syracuse (1-1-2) played UConn (2-1-1) to a 1-1 double-over-time tie on Monday afternoon at SU Soccer Stadium. After replacing a tired Alex Lam-ontagne, Koval’s 37th-minute goal sparked the Orange back into the game and helped SU execute its high-tempo game plan.

“The goal brought the energy back up, which is what we needed,” said Koval. “It was

important to get that in before we started up the second half so we could start fresh.”

SU head coach Phil Wheddon decided to ride some of Koval’s energy into the second half and she continued to create opportunities.

Koval led the team in total shots, three, two of which were shots on goal. Before the game, Wheddon said he told Koval to use her speed and athleticism to create danger in the 18-yard box.

“She’s a pain in the backside to play against because she’s so active,” Wheddon said. “We told her to run at their back line and it worked.”

The team is working on maintaining a high tempo. Koval was one of six players that Whed-don sent off the bench as he used the Orange’s depth to maintain his desired speed of play.

As someone who typically plays every minute of every game and saw action for all 110 minutes on Monday, midfielder Jackie Firenze is especially appreciative of the boost Koval provides off the bench.

“She is huge for us, to have someone come off the bench and be an impact player right away is awesome,” said Firenze. “It gives the team an interesting dynamic.”

In Friday’s 5-1 win against Albany, Koval came off the bench and totaled four shots on goal and an assist.

On a team half full of freshmen and trans-fers, Koval also provides leadership from the bench, Wheddon said.

Wheddon stresses that each and every player on his team is competing for playing time. Koval might be winning that compe-tition though, especially if she continues to create and score.

“Scoring goals helps playing time tre-mendously,” said Wheddon. “We need to be diligent defensively, but scoring goals is some-thing we look for from all of our forwards as they battle for playing time.”

the Connecticut defense with consecutive passes that helped create threatening chances. At others, Syracuse struggled to clear the ball out in its own defensive end.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, the ball remained mostly on Connecticut’s side of the field. Alex Lamontagne, Eva Gordon and Jackie Firenze strung passes together, but couldn’t finish the plays with goals.

After holding off the Orange, Gottwik drib-

bled through the middle of the field and took a hard touch to her left, pushing the ball past Maddie Damm. With space atop of the 18-yard box, Gottwik’s shot found the back of the net. After 10 minutes of controlling the game, Syra-cuse found itself trailing 1-0.

But the defensive lapse in transition, caused by an offensive turnover, did not overshadow an otherwise solid performance by the Orange.

“We worked hard for 110 minutes,” Whed-don said. “Trying to make a more elaborate pass instead of just playing a simple pass, but all in all, I’m happy with our performance.”

SU’s only goal came off a header by Alexis Koval, a substitute who entered the game in the 36th minute and scored about a minute later. Orange forwards Maya Pitts and Sheri-

dan Street also came off the bench and helped jumpstart the offense.

Junior forward Erin Simon said that Wheddon links the team’s energy with its communication. In overtime, when the cir-cumstances were more urgent, the Orange picked up its interactions. After Moranz made the save of the game, Syracuse’s players yelled out while SU attempted to capitalize on a counter attack.

Occasionally SU held onto the ball for too long, the head coach added. If players take fewer touches while in possession of the ball, the speed of play will likely increase, leading to fewer turn-overs. Dribbling less and making smarter passes is something that Syracuse will be working on in the coming week, Wheddon said.

“We caused problems for ourselves at times by loss of possession,” Wheddon said.

Though the turnovers occurred too often,

it meant that the Orange was at least creating opportunities on offense.

Prior to Monday’s meeting, Syracuse was 1-18 all-time against UConn. The tie represents progress for SU, which has now only lost to the Huskies once in the past three seasons.

“It just means we’re improving,” Simon said. “This is the best team we’ve had since I’ve been here … We just have to finish opportunities.”

“Knock on their door, get mom’s permission or not and go out and play football,” McIntyre said. “Your wallpaper is normally a particular team and your Christmas presents are sham-poo with a particular team logo on it. Growing up, it was a big part of who I am.”

Twenty-two years ago, McIntyre and his out-going personality left England for upstate New York. It was where his college career took place and his coaching career has taken off.

Now in his fifth year leading the SU men’s soccer team, he jokes that he’s a man without a country because both sides think he “talks funny.” The “big, British lump,” as junior goal-keeper Alex Bono called him, knows how to balance his sense of humor with hard work — though he doesn’t always have the best jokes, Bono added.

But behind the playfulness is a head coach who has turned the Syracuse program around and is adored by his players for it.

“Mac is easily the smartest coach I’ve ever been around and ever worked with,” Bono said. “I knew that even though Syracuse wasn’t a top program when I came in — I knew that coach Mac would lead us there.”

McIntyre first joined a competitive soccer team at the age of 7. Then, he became a captain of his schoolboy team before playing for an Arsenal FC youth team when he was 15, later

being selected to play on an England Southern team against an England Northern team.

But when a scout approached a late teenaged McIntyre and said to him, “Look, you’re not good enough,” he knew his dreams of playing professionally weren’t going to happen.

“As difficult as the words are, it allows you to focus and ultimately, it motivates you and you look to prove people wrong,” McIntyre said.

Just after turning 18, he chose to leave England and his family — which remains in the country — in 1992 for Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York. The transition was seam-less, McIntyre said, because the community embraced international players and the sup-port was there — and now he does his best to mirror that same support with his own players, international or not.

His adjustment was made that much easier by the company of Matt Lawrence, a teammate from the England Under-18 team who also ventured to Hartwick and roomed with McIntyre all four years. As a student, McIntyre made his high GPA look effortless, Lawrence said in an email.

And on the pool table, they formed a “pretty mean” doubles team, he added.

“Obviously we played by English rules, which seemed to cause some consternation with the indigenous folk,” said Lawrence, who enjoyed a lengthy professional career in England. “We had a lot in common and would sit for hours shooting the breeze and remem-bering times back home.”

On the pitch, McIntyre was a force. The

Hawks were undefeated, 16-0-1, when McIn-tyre scored and he earned All-American honors as a senior. He netted 18 goals with 10 assists in his four-year career and scored game-winning goals in back-to-back NCAA tournament games in 1993.

“His contributions as a player were extraordi-nary,” said Matt Verni, a first-year assistant coach for SU and a college teammate of McIntyre’s. “Not only his leadership and organizational abilities, his communication skills are the best I’ve ever

seen even to this day for a college player.”After finishing his college career and earn-

ing his MBA as an assistant coach at Fairfield (Connecticut), the opportunity to become the head coach at Oneonta at the age of 24 fell into McIntyre’s lap. He led the Red Dragons to three consecutive 10-win seasons.

Then the chance to take over his alma mater’s program half a mile down the road sur-faced in 2003 and McIntyre seized it, making what he called a move without having to move.

He led Hartwick to a 15-2-1 record that year and an NCAA tournament appearance in 2005. The Hawks had just two losing seasons out of the seven McIntyre coached them.

But when SU, which went 3-15 in 2009, came calling in 2010, all McIntyre knew of Syracuse were the bus rides he had taken to SU and the games he had played in the Carrier Dome.

“It wasn’t something immediately that I thought was the right decision,” he said, “but the more my wife and I kind of investigated it and researched it, the more and more we real-ized that this was the right time for a challenge.”

McIntyre has labored through some growing pains — going 5-22-6 through his first two sea-sons — but the future is bright as his program returns nearly all of its players for a second go-round in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

“Mac has a magnetic personality. If you are not touched after meeting him, then you have a heart of stone,” said Lawrence, McIntyre’s former teammate. “He’s an intelligent, engag-ing human being and that’s just away from the soccer field. Put him on the soccer field and you can add a hard-working, pragmatic leader to the equation.

“As much as Mac is lucky to have such a high-profile job at Syracuse, Syracuse is very lucky to have a coach such as Mac.”

Mac is easily the smartest coach I’ve ever been around and ever worked with. I knew that even though Syracuse wasn’t a top program when I came in, I knew that coach Mac would lead us there.

Ginnetti uses baseball skills to excel as defensive lineman By Sam Blum asst. copy editor

Brandon Ginnetti believes that baseball is a head game that requires him to posses more poise than power. Football, on the other hand, requires him to think and act fast to make a tackle on the ball carrier.

They’re two different sports that demand two separate mindsets. And while Ginnetti acknowledges the differences, he also argues that the skills can be interchangeable.

“I have both high intensity and I have self control,” Ginnetti said. “On the mound I have good composure and I have intensity. I’m able to balance both out between the sports.”

But when Ginnetti enrolls at Syracuse to become a part of the Class of 2015 in the fall, it will be only as a football player. The three-star defensive end, according to Scout.com, said football could provide a simpler path to professional sports.

And though it was apparent to Ginnetti that he’d play football once colleges started taking interest before his junior year of high school, baseball has and will continue to

shape him on the football field. “He’s a big strong guy, but he knows how to

pitch,” said his high school baseball coach Joe Fontana. “That bulldog mentality does help, and he has that on the football field.”

On the mound, Ginnetti blows away hitters

with a fastball that comes in just less than 90 miles per hour. His 6-foot-3, 240-pound frame

pays dividends on the defensive line, but also gives him a presence on the mound.

As a 16-year-old last season, he pitched three shutout innings in an Under-16 National Team showcase, Fontana said.

After Ginnetti committed to Syracuse on June 18, Fontana asked him what his thoughts were on playing baseball in his senior season. Ginnetti said he hadn’t even considered sitting out his final year.

“At the end of my sophomore year I was more focused on baseball,” Ginnetti said, “because I thought that was what I was going to play.”

But after realizing his status as a high-level football recruit, Ginnetti changed his focus. He said he didn’t want to get drafted by a Major League franchise and risk spending his whole career in the minor leagues.

He said he was getting offers from “big schools” for baseball, but that none material-ized because he was quick to make it apparent that football was his path.

“After my junior season, when I just started getting a bunch of offers,” Ginnetti recalled, “and I just said, ‘Football’s the thing.’”

Even though Ginnetti now has a one-track

mind, training for two separate sports helped him develop into the versatile athlete he has become.

Preparing for football involved more lifting, bench pressing and speed exercises, said team-mate and fellow defensive end Jason Criscio. Working out to be a pitcher meant more chest and leg exercises.

But the differences complemented each other, making Ginnetti a well-rounded athlete.

“Especially in the weight room,” Criscio said, “I’ve seen a huge improvement in the past few years from transition from baseball to football.”

This summer, Ginnetti has put on 13 pounds in preparation to compete at the college level, he said. He’s changed his diet and lifted weights five times a week, sometimes twice a day. His mindset going into his senior season is to improve on his size, strength and speed.

The next level for Ginnetti now though is solely Syracuse, and solely football.

“Baseball’s not really going to affect (any-thing),” Ginnetti said, “because baseball’s not as serious anymore.

“Football is the No. 1 thing.”[email protected] | @SamBlum3

All they needed was a ball and a couple of shirts to throw down as goal posts.

The kids from the neighborhood of Basildon, England — a gathering of six to 16 kids, including Ian McIntyre — wouldn’t let much stop them from playing soccer. Not the next-door neighbor who once chased them with a hammer to shoo them away, not the complaints of denting garage doors and not the bigger kids who kicked “the snot” out of the younger ones.

Born into a culture that eats, sleeps and breathes soccer, McIn-tyre fit right in.

Moranz makes late save to help SU tie UConn 1-1

race

D-III Linfield rides 58-year streak

By Paul Schwedelsonstaff writer

Phil Wheddon counts on his goalies to make one big save per game. With less than three minutes remaining in double overtime Monday, Mackenzie Moranz made that save.

Connecticut’s Danielle Gottwik stood with the ball at her feet and a chance

to end the game on her next move.Moranz dived to her left. Moranz

extended her left arm, barely getting a piece of the ball to deflect it away and sending the Syracuse fans into a frenzy.

“I knew I had to make that save at that time, so I just did it,” Moranz said.

Syracuse (1-1-2) tied Connecticut (2-1-1) 1-1 in front of 815 fans after playing two overtime periods and 110 minutes on a sun-soaked Mon-day afternoon at SU Soccer Stadium. SU’s chunks of possession were ended by ill-advised passes in the offensive third that led to Connecticut’s offen-sive attacks, which were snuffed out by the Orange’s defense to keep the game knotted.

“I’m disappointed in a tie,” Syra-cuse head coach Phil Wheddon said. “I thought that we could have, and probably should have, won the game.”

Throughout the game, the Orange’s energy level fluctuated in the mid-80 degree heat. At times, SU peppered

Linfield football’s uniforms haven’t been altered since the 1950s. Its sta-dium and locker room haven’t moved.

And with those constants has come another — 58 straight win-ning seasons.

The Wildcats have finished above .500 in every season since 1956, the longest streak of its kind in college football and 16 years longer than the next best. With a consistent coach-ing staff and commitment to tra-dition, Linfield has separated itself from other Division III programs in the Pacific Northwest.

Linfield has had five different head coaches since 1948, all of whom had previous ties to the program. Coaches tell first-year players about

living in the dorms and playing at Linfield. The school is located in McMinnville, Oregon, which has a population less than 35,000.

Eleven of the 12 coaches on Wildcats’ 12 current staff played at Linfield and experienced the same alumni and community support as the players they’re teaching.

“The streak is something that has connected so many generations of football players at Linfield,” Ryan Carlson, a Linfield defensive end from 1994–98 and the team’s volun-teer videographer said. “No matter how old you are or how young the current players are, that’s something that the people are all connected by.”

No team wants to be the one to end the streak, but the Wildcats turn their focus away from the pres-sure. Every year the senior class

chooses new goals for the season — which sometimes include non-football related objectives like com-munity involvement — and always include winning a national title.

Despite having a winning record every year for the past 58

seasons, Linfield has won just four national championships — in 1982, 1984, 1986 as part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Ath-letics and 2004, its lone title in the NCAA. In each of the past three
