When Syracuse University co-founded Utica College in 1946 to further address the needs of return-ing World War II veterans, there was an expectation the institution would eventually be independent.
Now, in 2015, 69 years after its creation and 20 years after its legal separation from SU, Utica College has cut tuition by 42 percent. It’s an unprecedented step in combatting the price tag of college tuition — a step that is reflective of UC’s motto to “never stand still.”
“Every school in America is grap-pling with the whole idea of how do you remain affordable, and every school has to find their own solution to that,
you know, pathway to affordability,” said UC President Todd Hutton.
The tuition reset will affect full-time students in UC’s on-campus undergraduate program, and will go into effect at the start of the 2016-17 academic year, according to a UC release. Tuition will drop to $19,996, and the total cost — which includes the fee for room and board — will be reduced to $30,430, according to the release.
The authority to make such a
big decision on tuition is vested in UC’s Board of Trustees, which was established after the school legally separated from SU in 1995.
UC’s newfound independence required the creation of the board, which would select a president of UC. Previously, when UC was what Hutton calls a “branch campus” of SU, the president of the college had to be appointed by the chancellor of SU. When UC and SU were legally intertwined, Hutton said the lack of a Board of Trustees meant a lack of a group of community sup-porters and alumni supporters to help guide the institution into the future.

When Sarah Mikal watched a You-Tube video on the dysfunction of the United States prison system, she knew she wanted to help solve the problem. The Best Foot Forward pro-gram has allowed her to do that.
Mikal, a junior finance and mar-keting major, is currently the project leader of Best Foot Forward, which is designed to help female inmates transition back into society.
“There’s always this feeling of per-petuity,” Mikal said. “But most inmates are sent back out into the real world.”
Mikal and her team of 10 other women work at the Jamesville Cor-rectional Facility, a 15-minute drive from the Syracuse University cam-pus. They teach female inmates basic technical skills such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and coding to help build their resumes.
“They were asking questions,” Mika said. “They really wanted to see a change in their life and they were willing to work hard for it.”
The goal is to place as many inmates in jobs upon their release as possible. The last class of inmates had
two women immediately employed after they were released from prison.
“The biggest culture shock that I’ve heard inmates say is that they’re on a different timeline,” she said. “They feel like they’re not with

only people who benefit from this experience. Mikal said working with the inmates has helped her develop her patience, intuition
and technical skills. “We get a chance to understand a
different perspective,” she said. “It’s a really good experience that will change your life forever.”

Syracuse University is now part-nering with the American Alliance of Museums to bring experts and
advoc ates from across the country to discuss inclusivity and acces-sibility in c u l t u r a l
institutions and public spaces.Beginning Wednesday, SU will
host a three-part webcast series in Bird Library that will feature experts discussing how the issue of accessibility relates to spaces such as libraries, museums and universities.
The event lasts for three weeks, with Wednesday’s event focus-ing on the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, specifically on how it has evolved and the law’s impact on public spaces. The session on Oct. 14 will discuss the triumphs and issues facing people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind or have low vision. The final session on Oct. 18 will focus on people with cog-nitive, developmental and emo-tional disabilities.
Greg Stevens, AAM’s assistant director of professional develop-ment, said some of the goals of the discussions are to increase awareness, foster action “across the board” and to help people be more aware of physical, mental and developmental issues.
The series is crucial because it gives professionals a chance to talk about the importance of dia-logue and accessibility for people with disabilities in the commu-nity, Stevens said.
One resource that is vital to peo-ple with disabilities is curb cuts, or the part of the sidewalk that slants downward when meeting a street, Stevens said. Sometimes a simple accommodation like curb cuts can go unnoticed, but since Stevens

Editors discuss national Cosby cover
GI Bill tool to help veterans
By Stacy Fernandezcontributing writer
The now well-known cover of New York Magazine, which featured 35 of Bill Cosby’s alleged sexual assault victims, was not originally intended to be a cover.
“New York Magazine is very known for its covers, and this caused such a stir,” said Jim Shahin, the moderator of the lecture.
Jody Quon and Noreen Malone, two of the editors who worked on the cover, spoke in the Joyce Her-genhan Auditorium in the S.I. New-house School of Public Communi-cations Tuesday as a part of the Magazine Speakers Series. Quon is the photography director at New York Magazine and Malone is the senior editor. The two lectured to
more than 60 members of the SU community about their experience working on the cover and held a question-and-answer session with the audience afterward.
Quon originally had the idea to do a photographic portfolio in January when so many of the women were com-ing out with their stories. She wanted to do it in a distinguished and elegant way, but didn’t know if the women would be willing to participate.
Quon said she spoke to Adam Moss, the editor-in-chief of New York Magazine, who wanted to get the opinions of other staff members first. Quon, however, said she felt that in the meantime, she should get a feel for how the women would respond. She called six of the women and all six were eager to participate.
At the beginning of the project
there were 27 women on board. The women were all over the country, so the magazine flew them to major cities, including New York and Los Angeles, to shoot the pictures.
“The first set of pictures were beautiful portraits — we felt that the tone was right on and it gave Adam the encouragement to keep going, and then the news broke in July about the Quaaludes,” Quon said.
After this, Moss was able to see the story from more of an editorial point of view rather than just a gal-lery of images.
Malone initially came into the project to write the introduction and do interviews.
The women were gathered 10 to 15 at a time for the photo shoots. On the first day, the mood was very somber,

A new online calculation tool has been created to help veterans and active duty military members assess the value of universities and their education benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
The tool is a collaborative effort between College Factual, a data-driven education technology com-pany, and the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. The GI calcula-tor allows veterans to make the most out of their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits by comparing the cost after benefits of more than 4,000 colleges. Based on the veteran’s individual informa-tion, it calculates the college’s sticker price, the veteran’s benefits and the

Republican Party’s stance on Planned Parenthood needs clarification
Despite media attempts to suggest other-wise, Republicans don’t hate women. I should know, I am one.
The heated congressional debates about the defunding of Planned Parenthood last Wednes-day have once again put Republicans in a bad light. While the Republican Party believes they are defending their dedication to the unborn, pro-choice supporters have been continuously framing GOP members as women-loathing, dis-graceful people. But this assumption couldn’t be further from the truth. There has been an increase in elected GOP female leaders, and studies predict this trend will continue. Even though Republicans are tradition-ally known as being pro-life, that does not mean that they don’t value the lives of women, despite extreme rhetoric from the political left and biased media outlets. In order to avoid the overshadowing of what
the right-winged argument for life is all about, Republicans need to come together as a unified front and prove to the public, the Democrats and themselves, that their stance isn’t anti-women; it’s pro-life. The GOP’s strong position on the defunding of Planned Parenthood isn’t aiming to strip women of their rights, but to get the govern-ment out of the equation. There are many culprits to blame for twist-ing the Republican argument. For starters, there are the Democrats. Longtime member Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) was leading the charge on the House floor last week in defense of Planned Parenthood. In short, she said Republicans not supporting the appropriation
of federal funds to the organization is discrim-inatory toward women, specifically those of low-income status. It is possible that opponents of the pro-life argument could manipulate the dialogue into saying that this is an attack on low-income women, but it’s not. Although the demonized political right is fighting to cut federal funds for Planned Parenthood, they’re not attempting to outlaw abortion or the organization in its entirety. What Rep. DeLauro failed to mention, which Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL) later addressed, was that while yes, Republican lawmakers are advocating for the defunding of the nonprofit, they are also urging that additional money be allocated to community health organizations. This would ensure that women would still receive proper healthcare, despite the argument made by lawmakers like Rep. DeLauro.
Despite the public’s desire to move away from our Christian-rooted founding principles and toward a more secular standard of governance, abortion remains a morally gray issue. This means that the justification for funding organi-zations that provide such services to women also remains controversial. While it has been made clear that taxpayer money does not go directly toward the proce-dures, the principle of the money going to an organization that performs them makes many pro-life advocates uneasy. The GOP needs to make their good intentions clear: being pro-life does not mean that the lives of women don’t matter. They need to capitalize and expand on this point in order to break through the shadow of liberal bias.

This letter is in reference to an Oct. 5 article writ-ten by Alex Archambault, “Planned Parenthood protesters should be respected by Syracuse com-munity.” I am disappointed to see such a hateful, misogynistic and dangerous group of people defended in Archambault’s article. Those who protest Planned Parenthood and access to safe abortions are fueled by the idea that their opinion trumps a woman’s right to make choices about her own body. By denying this fun-
damental right, anti-abortion activists are dehu-manizing women and hindering gender equality. Making abortion illegal doesn’t stop abortion; it just forces women to turn to dangerous and often life-threatening alternatives. The article claims the protestors “spoke of god and life” and wanted to “show girls that they had other options such as adoption.” Where is their concern for the lives of women? Carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term can have devastat-
ing physical and mental effects on a woman and suggesting adoption as an alternative to abortion completely ignores the well-being of women in that situation. People who don’t support women’s reproduc-tive rights have no respect for women. People who would rather see women die from unsafe, illegal abortions than allow for legal ones hate women. Articles that sugarcoat anti-abortion protestors as harmless people entitled to their opinions further
reinforce the absurd notion that one person’s belief is more important than another person’s rights. As a woman and former member of the Syracuse community, I wholeheartedly disagree that these people deserve our respect. They don’t respect women and other people who support women’s rights, so why should we respect them?

Professor campaigns should be monitoredscribble
There have been more mass shootings this year than days — 294 tragedies in just
274 days’ time, as of Oct. 1, accord-ing to Mass Shooting Tracker. The astounding frequency of these events makes it understandably hard to be outraged and heartbroken every time. Americans, but particularly the millennials born into the height of this phenomenon, are becoming numb to reports of gun violence. For students especially, the pressure to stay updated on each new fact in an ongoing tragic event comes from multiple sources. Some students take classes that require them to know what is happening in the news every week, and social media is certain to feature the opinions of friends and family on the event. Even casual conversations on campus are likely to involve some aspect of the news. Disconnecting from these sources
of information may stave off some anxiety, but where should students go for guidance? Students must make efforts to protect their mental health in the wake of national tragedies like the latest campus shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. Avoiding “breaking news” updates that sensationalize mass murder is a strategy to defend one’s psyche. Seeking counsel for difficult emo-tions rather than avoiding them is vital. Allowing for personal time to heal can be crucial to maintaining a healthy respect for human life — potentially reducing future gun violence events.
At SU, the Counseling Center is the most frequently suggested resource for students in a crisis. However, a significant drawback to the center is its focus on emergen-cy-based services. The Counseling Center, whether intentionally or not, has a reputation as an “emergency-only” facility. Students seeking advice on navi-gating complex emotions are told to make appointments, which are often unavailable immediately. There’s a perception that walk-in consulta-tions are reserved solely for students on the brink of violent actions against themselves or others. These percep-tions reinforce the culture of burying emotions until they boil over. Hendricks Chapel is often over-looked as a resource for students seek-ing emotional comfort. Studies show that current college-aged students have been leaving churches in far greater numbers than preceding generations.
Hendricks has a central location on the Quad and is designed as a par-ticularly accessible refuge for those grappling with emotions or over-whelmed by their classes. Gail Riina, a reverend and Lutheran Chaplain at the Chapel said Hendricks is a safe place to come for students of every religion, or no religion at all. “[Overcoming emotional numb-ness] is an issue of balance, it is an issue of centering in yourself and connecting to your spiritual core, whether that’s religious in a tradi-tional way or not,” Riina said. Riina made it clear that the Chapel does not exist in a bubble — chaplains are aware of the educa-tional demands placed on students at SU, but recommends distance from “the media blitz” to avoid emotional numbness. “Distance yourself from your profession … to become all profes-sional you lose your personhood,
and you don’t want to do that,” said Riina. “If you lose who you are, if you lose that inner voice to your mind and heart, you are going to be cold.” In times of tragedy, students must understand that it is OK to disconnect from the news and seek guidance in order to preserve one’s connection to humanity and per-sonal mental health. The culture of gun violence in America makes students feel like it’s a requirement to rise up in protests in order to prevent more deaths. A truly preventative position acknowl-edges complex emotions like grief, numbness, and confusion before they become tragedies.

The guidelines in place at Syracuse University for staff and faculty mem-bers partaking in a political election are fair. However, SU should consid-er adjusting compensation if faculty members reduce their university workload in order to campaign. Eric Kingson, a professor of social work in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, announced last month his intention to seek the Democratic nomination for New York state’s 24th Congressional District. Kingson’s decision to run for office while continuing to teach at SU as a full-time professor does not violate any institutional rules. According to SU’s policies on partisan political activity, guide-lines for a faculty or staff member involved in a political election
include solely displaying their views as their own and not using the uni-versity’s name or resources in con-nection with the campaign. These individuals also cannot place SU’s name or insignia on any documents used to carry out their political cam-paign or work on related political activities during working hours. The existing guidelines are rational and prevent professors from bringing their campaigns into the classroom. While the universi-ty’s policies successfully keep these entities separate, SU should take into account that the compensation of any staff or faculty member running for office should continue to match the workload they manage at the university. Carrie Smith, program director
of the School of Social Work in Falk, said all professors negotiate with the dean and faculty chairs of the department they work in to deter-mine which classes they will teach based on the needs of the unit. At the point where a professor is reducing their work hours in order to focus on the political sphere, the university should consider adjust-ing that faculty or staff member’s pay accordingly. Professors have a commitment to SU and its students. While staff and faculty are encouraged to run for office, the university should take the amount of dedication the indi-vidual is able to make to the univer-sity community when spearheading a political campaign in account in regard to compensation practices.

and during the course of the day a whirlwind of emotions was expressed, Quon said.
“Those days when the women were together, they arrived not knowing each other,” she said. “By the time they left having spent the day together it was this amazing feeling of warmth and camaraderie.”
One of the interns working on the project
had the idea of having the women on chairs. Quon loved the idea and the symbolism.
The empty chair is symbolic of the women who have not yet come forward, and all the women who don’t feel safe speaking out about their sexual assault.
“To have this raw piece of emotion that taught us something about the way people pro-cess sexual assault and to just try to economize on space is a waste of opportunity,” Malone said.
Jan. 15, 2015, after the incident took place, advertises sparring, a type of training that includes blows.
Joe Stray, who restarted the boxing pro-gram in 2012, told The Daily Orange in Feb-ruary of 2013 the club was created under the condition that it was considered a “shadow-boxing” club. No physical sparring was sup-
posed to take place on campus.Before the incident, Sansone had limited
boxing experience and had never experienced a contact drill at SU, per the lawsuit. The law-suit called Chao’s actions “negligent,” and also took aim at Smith for not intervening.
“It’s been a really tough time,” Sansone said in an email to the New York Daily News. “ It’s challenging not knowing when or if I will be able to return to a normal life.”
A recent study conducted by a Syracuse Uni-versity professor in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management concluded that people who identify as creative tend to be dishonest.
Lynne Vincent, an assistant professor in Whitman, said she thought of the idea when she worked with creative people at a job more than 10 years ago.
“At the job, we were allowed to drink at work, put up unusual stuff on the walls,” she said. “We had no limitations.”
The study began in 2013 and was published in the Academy of Management Journal. The study included a series of five randomized controlled studies involving more than 600 participants, along with surveys from 83 employees and their immediate supervisors.
Vincent said the reason creative people tend
to be dishonest has to do with how creativity is valued in the workplace.
“Creativity is seen as a trait that only the special, select few have,” she said. “It gives them a sense of entitlement because they are treated differently from everyone else.”
Vincent began developing the idea in 2008, and said she became more passionate about it in graduate school.
While working on the study, Vincent attended a conference at the University of Notre Dame, where she met her partner, Maryam Kouchaki, assistant professor of management and organizations at the Kellogg School of Man-agement at Northwestern University.
“As creativity is becoming more important for organizations, it is crucial for organizations to understand how to encourage creativity,” Kouchaki said.
Vincent said there are healthier ways to encourage creativity in the workplace without
revealing the dark side of creativity.She added that if creativity is treated as
something that everyone possesses, it will reduce the sense of entitlement.
“You can redefine what it means to be cre-ative,” Vincent said. “It’s not only for special people. We can all be creative. It is a mundane event; it is a skill, not a rarity.”
She said the survey can be applied to Whit-man’s curriculum in an important way.
Knowing how to encourage creativity among your employees without dishonesty, Vincent said, is important. She said she wants students to be flexible with ideas, not flexible with morals.
Vincent said she also sees the importance of the study in the modern workplace.
“Creativity is becoming more important as the world becomes more competitive,” she said. “It can produce positive outcomes, but left unchecked, it can lead to problems.
This does not apply to everyone. It is just those who think they are rare. It leads to a sense of entitlement.”
Ravi Dharwadkar, chair of the department of management in Whitman, said the impli-cations can be seen in companies, such as Volkswagen, today.
“To put this issue into context, when Volk-swagen recently had to recall their cars due to their dishonesty about the cars’ emissions, it behooves us to figure out why they do what they do,” he said.
Dharwadkar said there is a good reason for this, considering companies tend to focus on employee performance.
He added that creativity has unintended consequences when companies cut corners.
“Creativity can be a virtue, but it can also be a detriment,” Dharwadkar said. “That still doesn’t excuse the dishonesty.”

in 1946, but back in the ’70s we were accredited separately from Syracuse. So the separation and independence really started in the ’70s.”
UC’s accreditation by the Middle States Com-mission on Higher Education was one of the small “baby steps” Hutton said UC took toward independence during the 1970s that culminated with its formal independence from SU in 1995.
The idea that SU and UC would eventu-ally separate was also inevitable to former SU Chancellor Kenneth “Buzz” Shaw, who headed the university when UC became an indepen-dently chartered school in 1995.
It would not be in the mission of SU to establish and maintain a network of branch campuses, Shaw said, because that’s what pub-lic state universities do, and SU had no desire to be a system of campuses that related back to it, whether they were housed at Syracuse or elsewhere, he added.
“Syracuse’s niche — if it was going to con-tinue to be successful — had to be as a very high-end, private university,” Shaw said.
When Shaw became chancellor in 1991, he saw in former UC President Michael Simpson and Hutton a desire for independence of the school, which Shaw said already effectively operated at arm’s length from SU at the time.
“There was never a time during either of those presidencies where I was asked to do anything by the university for Utica, or where I felt I should exert my opinion because it really wasn’t necessary; it wasn’t our institution, and I never did, and they were lucky to have some pretty good leadership,” Shaw said.
He added that UC also wanted to continue to have some kind of affiliation with SU. Although UC became independent for all legal purposes in 1995, there are still a handful of UC stu-dents who will receive SU degrees in May 2016, Hutton said. A 2008 agreement called for the academic separation between the two schools by May 2016, and said any student who arrived to UC before or during the 2010 fall semester would receive an SU degree.
“If a student in May of ‘16 has not yet com-pleted — and I certainly hope they have after six years — but if they haven’t completed their degree then they would then earn a UC degree
once they completed their degree require-ment,” Hutton said.
The academic separation in 2008 was the last formal and definitive step UC took toward independence, Hutton said.
Although SU owned the intellectual prop-erty of the college, UC’s campus and facilities were owned by its foundation, Hutton said, and the board of the foundation’s sole respon-sibility was to oversee the school’s funds. UC
was never really funded by SU, Hutton said, because students’ tuition supported its pro-grams and facilities.
Tuition will continue to support UC, but, as expected, the college will lose net revenue per student due to the tuition reset. However, the college expects this loss will be offset by higher enrollment, according to a UC docu-ment about the reset.
In the 2015-16 academic year, UC has expe-rienced a growth of more than 30 percent, and for the past 15 consecutive years Hutton said there has been record enrollment at the institution. This kind of sustainable success, and UC’s ability to cut tuition without cutting faculty, staff or programs is how Hutton and a task force at UC knew a tuition reset would be feasible for the school.
“On behalf of our students — we kept see-ing other places, tuition kept climbing and climbing and climbing and it was getting out of the reach of our students and our families,” Hutton said. “The attrition — the number one reason for attrition was financial, and we knew that we had to do something.”
started the series, he said issues of accessibility are always at the forefront of his mind. The atten-tion from SU means a lot, too, he said.
“The fact that they raised their hands to this is a big deal,” he said.
The event is also relevant to the campus specifically, said Lisa Moeckel, who is hosting the series. It will allow libraries and commu-nity members to work closely with campus
organizations on these issues, said Moeckel, who is also the associate dean of undergradu-ate education for SU Libraries.
It provides a space for advocates of common interests to share thoughts and ideas in per-son, Moeckel said.
For SU libraries, this is an opportunity to “reinforce to campus that [SU Libraries are] committed to the cause,” Moeckel said.
Sometimes finances stand in the way of institutions accommodating people with dis-abilities as much as they’d like to, Moeckel
said. Trying to accommodate in a “reasonable and cost effective way” can pose problems if institutions are strapped for cash, she said.
T. Scott Burgess, a school library media specialist at Morgan Road Elementary in Liv-erpool, said he would like to see the university do more to increase communication and access to campus library resources, he said.
This can be done in simple ways, such as connections to alumni and better access to university-related news through technology, said Burgess, who is also an SU alumnus. For
Burgess, inclusion and access means com-municating important information between the university and the community — a com-plex idea that SU could act on in small ways, he said.
“I would love to see a conversation between the university library and school libraries and public libraries to just have that conversation of, ‘What are the differ-ences? What are the needs? What are the similarities?” Burgess said.
There was always an intention from the very, very beginning for Syracuse to support the creation of a new four-year institution, and then to allow that institution to become independent.Todd Huttonpresident of utica college

For many students, traveling home from Syracuse for breaks is usually easy and simple. For students like Aubrey Levin,
it is a long and exhausting affair.“Right now, it takes me seven hours and a
layover to get to school,” said Levin, a sopho-more public relations major from Palm Beach, Florida. “It’s really annoying because that’s almost a full day lost that could have been spent either at home or school.”
But starting in January, JetBlue is expand-ing its service to include non-stop daily flights from Syracuse to Fort Lauderdale. Flights will begin on Jan. 13, 2016 and continue through
May 1, 2016.“As New York’s Hometown Airline, we are
proud to further connect our home state with the Sunshine State by adding this new route between Syracuse and Fort Lauderdale-Holly-wood,” said Dave Clark, vice president network planning for JetBlue in a press release.
Growing traffic at Syracuse’s Hancock International Airport has left legislative leaders such as Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) trying to convince the airline to re-enact the service, which was discontinued in 2009 due to rising jet fuel costs and seasonal demand, according to the press release.
Schumer said this expansion will boost competition and availability of low-cost flights from Syracuse to this popular destina-
tion, particularly in the winter months when demand is highest.
“Expanding JetBlue service at Syracuse Hancock Airport is good news for both res-idents and the regional economy,” Schumer said in a press release. “There is a clear need for more flights from Syracuse to Florida and I am pleased JetBlue examined this option and will once again offer this route for the residents and business travelers of the Central NY Region.”
Hancock International has been experienc-ing steady traffic growth over the past few years. Last year, Hancock saw more than two million people pass through its doors, and experienced a steady 2.2 percent growth last month, accord-ing to the airport’s monthly report.
Schumer said in the release he hopes that
these new flights will increase competition between airline companies, and as a result, drive down prices. JetBlue ranks fourth in passenger traffic at Hancock, behind Delta, US Airways, and United, according to Hancock International’s 2015 annual report.
Starting in January, Levin can fly to and from Fort Lauderdale, which is a thirty-minute drive from her house, for less than $350.
“I’m so excited,” Levin said. “It’s going to make getting to and from school way less stressful and more enjoyable.”
Tickets went on sale last Wednesday for flights between mid-January until the begin-ning of March. One-way flights from Syracuse are $79 and include taxi fare.
JetBlue recently announced it will expand its services to include non-stop daily flights from Syracuse’s Hancock International Airport to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from Jan. 13, 2016 to May 1, 2016.

school’s average Yellow Ribbon Award.“Our mission is to help every student get
the best education money can buy,” said Josh McWilliam, co-founder and vice president of Product for College Factual who led the team that created the calculator.
Syracuse University is a Yellow Ribbon School, which means that all tuition and fees for veterans or their dependents are 100 per-cent covered. The university also has veter-ans and dependents on other programs who receive financial support from the govern-ment, said Patrick Jones, director of veteran enrollment practice at SU.
SU’s Veterans Resource Center staff ensures that veterans and their designated dependents receive every benefit they are authorized to receive, Jones said.
The calculator also determines additional benefits including room and board, military housing allowance, books and supplies and mil-itary book stipend. The end result is an estimate of the veteran’s total out-of-pocket cost if they were to attend the school.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill is for military person-nel who were on active duty service at least 90 days after Sept. 10, 2001, were honorably discharged at least 30 days after this date or are still on active duty, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website. The GI Bill provides up to 36 months of education bene-fits and covers full tuition and fees for all public, in-state students and has a national maximum cap rate for private and international schools.
The GI calculator takes into account the GI
Bill, but not other benefits veterans may receive.“Some of the information on (the GI cal-
culator) is inaccurate, which could mislead potential students, so we will reach out to the creators and ask them to correct it,” Jones said.
Robert Pugh, the assistant resident director at Flint Hall who served in the U.S. Marines for eight and a half years, said his initial reaction was that the GI calculator was a “very helpful tool,” but after using it he didn’t think it was as thorough as it should be.
“The numbers we see as veterans versus what was on that calculator could be mislead-ing for somebody coming into this thinking that they’re going to receive a certain amount of money for coming to this school and then having to pay a different amount,” Pugh said after inputting his own data.
The new GI Bill calculator builds on a former ini-tiative by IAVA, but this partnership with College Factual has incorporated data, college rankings, school comparison, financial aid advice and insight as to whether the school is veteran-friendly.
“We don’t provide a search tool; we do matching, unlike other tools which treat vet-erans as one-dimensional,” McWilliam said.
McWilliam sees his development as a quality tool that can make the process man-ageable and transparent for the underserved veteran population.
He added that he is aware of the improve-ments that need to be made to the tool and plans on continuing to update it.
“Many features did not make the cut for the first release, however, we are expecting an update in a couple weeks with a new user interface,” McWilliam said.

While pursuing her dream of being a profes-sional photographer in New York City, Thilde Jensen received a call from an editor of News-
week offering her a job. Jensen could barely speak, but, deliriously, she accepted.
“It was just so painful to be there, it was just so hard,” Jensen said. “I felt like a haunted animal because everything made me sick.”
When she received the call, Jensen was suffering from Idiopathic Environmental Intolerances, or envi-ronmental illness.
Environmental illness is a severe sensitivity or allergy-like reaction to any type of pollutant, such as plastics, petroleum products or ink on the pages of
books. This extreme sickness drove Jensen away from New York City, her work and her husband.
Jensen, who is in her early-40s, is a central New York-based photographer who has been featured in publications such as The New York Times and The Telegraph. She is currently displaying a show “The Unwanted,” which will stay until Dec. 18 at the Light Work Hallway Gallery located on the Syracuse Univer-sity campus. The gallery depicts the lives of homeless people in and around Syracuse.
Jensen thought she could recover after a few months of waiting out her symptoms, but soon after, she was so ill she could no longer pick up a camera without an aluminum foil cover. She managed to finish the job for Newsweek but it would be her last job for many years.

It wasn’t until Jensen arrived in Syracuse in 2003 to pursue a degree at the State Uni-versity of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry that she found anoth-er environmental illness sufferer, Julianna Martin, who gave Jensen a lot of advice about handling the illness.
“Things that used to be relaxing and fun, like the movies — that is your worst night-mare. It’s like someone torturing you,” Martin said. “Like, if someone really hated you, they’d make you go to the movies.”
Jensen said she hoped her studies at ESF would help her escape urban life and get into a new field involving nature.
However, her respirator and gas mask were not protection enough from the chemicals she ran into on a day-to-day basis. Experiencing reactions to the heating system in her apart-ment, Jensen had to accept she could not live
through a Syracuse winter. She eventually had to call her mother to say she was coming home to Denmark, where she would stay for only a small time.
It wasn’t until Jensen returned to Arizona, where the desert provides a natural shield from the outside world, that she began to find suitable coping methods for her environmen-tal illness, she said.
Jensen was unable to use the computer or phone for prolonged periods of time. She needed to come up with creative ways to face everyday tasks.
“She had to have someone make her a phone that was made of wood with little plas-tic tubes that went over to the regular phone then she’d pick up the regular phone with a stick,” Martin said.
While recovering, Jensen began to real-ize she could “turn the camera around” on herself. She began documenting her coping experiences through self-portraits and fol-lowing others who had escaped to the safe haven of Arizona.
The compilation of photographs Jensen captured came together under the title “The Canaries” and, in 2006, became her first Light Work Grant-winning project. Jensen became well enough to return to New York to cap-ture images of environmental illness sufferers
trapped in the pollution of the city. “It felt very freeing and powering to be able
to tell the story and use my ability to do pho-tography to tell the story,” Jensen said.
John Mannion, the master printer for the Light Work gallery, worked with Jensen on “The Canaries.” In 2006, Jensen was still so ill she would have to sit a room’s length away from the computer on which her photographs were being edited.
“The Canaries” continued to be a massive success, earning critical acclaim, and Jensen self-published a book of the pictures. The col-lection was featured in 14 publications, includ-ing TIME LightBox’s Photobooks We Loved 2013 and Business Insider.
Jensen has returned to Light Work this year having received her second grant for her
current project, “The Unwanted.” This group of pictures documents the lives of
homeless people living in and around Syracuse. Mannion said Jensen’s photography
approach has not changed since recovering from environmental illness.
“She’s still interested in people who end up marginalized because of the condition that they find themselves in,” Mannion said.
Martin said she thinks it’s important for students to see the pictures of people strug-gling in the Syracuse community.
Jensen said she followed a lot of the people depicted in “The Unwanted” pictures for over a year. It is still difficult for her to enter into people’s homes because of her sensitivities — this project allows her to work outside, which doesn’t trigger her symptoms.
She said she probably wouldn’t have taken these pictures if it hadn’t been for her illness. She said she likes the honesty of the people pictured, adding that they show there is “no facade to protect us in daily life.”
“I feel great empathy for these people,” Jen-sen said. “I know what it’s like to lose — for your life to fall apart — whether it’s because of illness or because of the many other reasons why people can end up suddenly in a different situation than they had expected.”

playing video games with some friends of mine in the open triple aka the “no privacy dojo.” We weren’t sure if we were going out at that point, but you bet we would pregame regardless. For some reason, I thought it was a good idea to get myself a bottle of Captain Morgan. In the words of Drake, you know how that should go.
Thanks to a bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper (sav-ing calories) I did not taste a lot of the Captain Morgan while I was ingesting it. After a few games of FIFA, around three quarters of the bottle was gone, and so was I.
The night had seemed to wind down, no one was going out, but the tiger inside of me would refuse to purr. I was drunk, and it was time to go out. I was hell-bent on getting out of the cage that was an actually very spacious open triple. There was only one place that would save me from this pit of despair: I had to go to DJ’s.
It wouldn’t be appropriate to say I casually wanted to go to DJ’s, I proclaimed to do it and thus it would be so. And henceforth, a wrist-band was fashioned out of paper, tape and a highlighter. It was time to go.
(Pausing for a second here. It was at this point when my roommates should have seen the red flag. I was craving DJ’s on the Hill like it was a glass of water in the Sahara, and they encouraged it. Is it their fault that I was too drunk? Absolutely not, this night is still 110 percent my fault. But hey, next time, maybe don’t make the wristband?)
I walked to DJ’s, it was my journey and my journey alone; a sad, acne-riddled Frodo just trying to finish a quest in which he was chosen. I arrived, got in with no problem and headed
toward the bar. It gets pretty blurry from here. I remember drinking a red bull/vodka,
talking to a few people and then all of a sudden I was standing by myself in the bar, and someone grabbed my hand. I was escorted out of the bar and left to my own devices — which wasn’t fun.
A huge wave of shame hit me. I thought I had been discourteous or impolite, but I think I was just too drunk. Also my wristband fell off.
I walked home incredibly upset and incred-ibly drunk, so I was basically every SU fan a few weeks later. I got home and it got messy. It’s just flashbulb memories for a while:

Reggae, roots group John Brown’s Body to perform at the Westcott Theater Oct. 10By Rebecca Plautstaff writer
John Brown’s Body describes their music as “future roots music,” a term they came up with many years ago to mean a mix of reggae and roots.
This eight-person group consists of a guitarist, bassist, drum-mer, keyboard player, saxophonist, trumpet player and a trom-bone player. The band also tours with a sound engineer and manager. They’re set to perform at the Westcott Theater Oct. 10.
In an almost 20-year career, John Brown’s Body has released 11 studio albums, some of which topped the charts. In 2008, “Amplify” was ranked among one of the best reggae albums on Billboard and in 2012, “JBB in Dub” made it to No. 1 on iTunes’ reggae chart.
Tommy Benedetti, a drummer and one of the two original members, enjoys playing with such a large collection of musicians.
“It’s great. I love the sound we all make together,” he said. “It’s a powerful sound to sit behind the drums and play with JBB. The guys and I are all really great friends.”
Along with Benedetti is Elliot Martin, the band’s lead singer,
songwriter and the other original member. Martin and Benedetti met when Martin’s former band
performed in Boston and later advertised that they were looking for a new drummer. Benedetti got the gig and the two have been accumulating members for John Brown’s Body ever since.
The band is inspired by blues and reggae music. They listen to Jimi Hendrix, The Black Seeds, Iron Maiden and a lot of material from the United Kingdom like Steel Pulse, Dennis Bovell and Aswad.
Benedetti said they love where the reggae comes from, but enjoy incorporating the current American music scene into their records as well.
The group considers themselves progressive because they generally sing about current news, historical events and social movements. On their most recent album “Kings and Queens,” they feature the song “Dust Bowl,” about the dust storm that swept the United States and Canada in the 1930’s and about John Brown, the abolitionist, for whom the band is named after.
This is not the first time John Brown’s Body has played in Syr-acuse. Previously, they’ve performed at The Westcott Theatre,
the now-closed Planet 505 and in Armory Square. Outside of the Salt City, they’ve performed alongside
Jimmy Cliff and Burning Spear and shared the stage at big festivals with headliners like Dave Matthews Band and The Flaming Lips.
The group has also performed both nationally and interna-tionally. Some of their favorite shows include their New Zealand tour and Reggae in the Rocks Festival this past summer at Red Rocks in Colorado. They performed for an audience of about 10,000, Benedetti said.
Lately, John Brown’s Body has only been playing about three to four shows at a time before returning to their home base. When performing, they try to mix it up. The band will play certain tunes that people hear every night as well as deeper cuts. They often play tracks from “Kings and Queens” and their 2002 studio album “Spirits All Around Us.”
The audience can expect to hear their unreleased track “New Fashion” at the band’s upcoming shows.
“We have shared a lot of miles and experiences together,” Benedetti said. “That’s life, that’s friends, that’s family.”
AMPED UPJOHN BROWN’S BODY is best known for its reggae sound. In its almost 20-year career, the band has released 11 studio albums. Its album “Amplify” was ranked as one of the best reggae albums on Billboard in 2012. The band is inspired by Jimi Hendrix, The Black Seeds, Steele Pulse and Aswad.
Buescher consumes snacks and Gatorade to improve in 2nd half By Chris Libonati asst. copy editor
With a little less than 12 minutes left, Julian Buescher took his arm and wiped it across his mouth.
Buescher’s jaw stopped chomping on the food Oskar Sewerin had just fetched for him from the locker room after Buescher had just helped sink the final bite into the Albany defense.
“Thank you to Oskar,” Buescher said. “Good thing he’s that fast and got me something.”
Even a tired, hungry and even a bit dis-tracted Buescher was able to extend his point streak on Tuesday night. Taking a swig from a Gatorade and grabbing a bite to eat on the field helped SU’s leading point scorer finish his ninth consecutive game with a goal or assist.
For the fifth straight game, SU tallied mul-tiple goals. Buescher’s assist on a Ben Polk goal with less than 15 minutes left helped the No. 22 Orange (8-2-1, 2-1-1 Atlantic Coast) sneak past Albany (5-5-1, 0-1 America East), 2-1.
“Julian (Buescher) was a little off-color tonight, but we also hang our mast on him a little bit and so it’s a little tough for your attacking play-ers to be cooking every night,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “Having said that, when we needed him, he stepped up with a quality ball in the box.”
Buescher wasn’t dribbling through defend-ers or making the deft cuts he normally makes. At one point, he walked back onside while the Orange was still playing the ball. McIntyre yanked Buescher for one of the first times this season with 7:23 left in the first half.
The midfielder contributed on all of SU’s three goals in what McIntyre called a “quag-mire” on Friday at Duke, where the rain-soaked field was streaked with patches of mud.
One week ago, after the Orange played at Colgate, a staffer asked Buescher if he needed anything. He joked that he wanted two days off.
For the first time all season, against Albany, the fatigue Buescher joked about was apparent. The midfielder said he hadn’t eaten enough Tuesday. In the locker room at half-time, players typically get a quick banana.
“Even at halftime, I didn’t eat, so not that smart today,” Buescher said.
When he came back out for the second half, he could feel a stomachache coming on. He sent Sewerin back into the locker room quickly to grab the chocolate bar and banana.
Periodically, Buescher ran over to the bench and grabbed the food, even playing the ball with food in his hand or fighting defenders on headers while chewing.
With the game tied at one with 17:13 left in the game and players battling for the ball on the sideline, Buescher drank from an orange Gatorade. Midfielder Juuso Pasanen yelled, “Hey,” to get Buescher back into the game.
“He can yell at me all day,” Buescher joked.
He may not have swiped any sustenance at half, but Buescher and Polk talked adjustments. Polk asked for earlier balls into the box because Albany’s defenders were playing up higher.
Polk split two defenders as Buescher gave the forward just the type of ball he wanted. Polk flicked the ball up and into the net, giving SU the lead for good.
“We do well when we do early crosses before the defenders can get set,” Polk said. “… When defenders are running back to their own goal, it’s an easier chance.”
During the team’s postgame cool down, Buescher swung his leg less emphatically than
teammates. He was the only player clutching two blue Gatorades and carried another three purple Gatorades in the plastic holder six-packs typically come in.
He staved off fatigue just long enough to assist on the winning goal. And while he may not have been what SU’s come to expect, he was just enough of what the Orange needed.
“Maybe (he’s gassed). You can’t always be at your best,” McIntyre said. “We just went down to North Carolina, we just came back … He’s come out here and it’s tough to be cooking every night. He’s been outstanding for us.”
Orange defense improves after rough 1st period in 3-1 lossBy Chris Thomsen contributing writer
Clarkson’s Rhyen McGill took the puck follow-ing a missed shot from Syracuse’s Melissa Pia-centini and started skating furiously toward SU goalie Jenn Gilligan. Gilligan deflected McGill’s shot on the right side of the net. With no Clarkson players nearby, Gilligan looked safe from a rebound.
But one came from Syracuse’s Megan Quinn, who accidentally tipped the puck toward her own goal. The Orange, now down 1-0 midway through the first period in its season opener, had begun the 2015-16 campaign in the worst way possible.
“It’s not the way we want to start the sea-son,” Gilligan said. “I think Quinn felt worse about it than I did.”
Two minutes later, Clarkson’s Shannon MacAu-lay scored on a power-play goal. For a brief moment,
the flood gates that led to a 9-1 Clarkson win last year inched open again on Tuesday night. But Syr-acuse held them shut, only allowing one more goal.
“It would have been easy to lay back and fold a little bit,” SU head coach Paul Flanagan said. “But I thought our kids came back hard.”
The Orange defense not only held up for the remainder of the first period, but also improved as the game went on. Though the end result was a 3-1 loss to No. 5 Clarkson (3-0), Syracuse (0-1) was in a position to compete in the third period.
Syracuse’s prevented Clarkson from scor-ing in the second period after the two-goal first. Larissa Martyniuk, along with Quinn and freshman Allie Munroe, were instrumen-tal in breaking up Clarkson passes in transi-tion. Gilligan had 34 saves, with 16 coming in the third period.
Syracuse’s defense flashed its potential during a third-period penalty kill, stopping seven shots while shorthanded, with four saves
from Gilligan and four blocks from defenders.“I can’t even think about it,” Gilligan said
about the sequence. “Once it’s done, you’re gasp-ing for air. The team did a great job, and obvi-ously, Clarkson has one heck of a power play.”
But with just over two minutes left to play and the Orange trailing by one, Martyniuk was called for tripping. Clarkson’s Cayley Mercer scored just 24 seconds into the power play, preventing any chance of a Syracuse comeback.
But for the Orange, especially with its defen-sive miscues at the start, a 3-1 loss may not be as bad as the scoreboard lead on.
“It’s not great to lose to them, but we kept with them and dominated them in the second,” Martyniuk said. “We took it to them in the third and gave them a little run. It’s not horrible.”
Syracuse celebrates one of its two goals against Albany on Tuesday night. The Orange scored the game-winner with 12 minutes left in the game, thanks to a Julian Buescher assist. He fought his fatigue throughout the game. riley bunch staff photographer
Once it’s done, you’re gasping for air. The team did a great job, and obviously, Clarkson has one heck of a power play.
Lamontagne adapts to American style of play to excel for SUBy Matt Alexander staff writer
Alex Lamontagne cracks a smile recalling the memory. The swift attacker now slices through opposing defenses for Syracuse, but not long ago she used to be the last line of defense against players like herself.
“When I was younger, I used to be a goal-keeper,” she said. “So I was kind of in that for a while and then I would play defense.”
It seems humorous now. In her second season at Syracuse, Lamontagne is tied for the team lead in goals this season. She spent the summer playing for Durham United FC of League 1 Ontario, where her 18 goals were one behind the team leader. Lamontagne has adapted her skill set to better fit Syra-cuse’s style of play. After showcasing her versatility, she’s reaping newfound success as a playmaker.
Lamontagne first picked up a soccer ball when she was 4. She was quick, and her speed carried onto the track where she ran compet-itively until she was 16.
On the soccer field, Lamontagne has found a home in front of the net, where that speed and exceptional footwork allow her to penetrate opposing defenses.
“She does a lot of things very, very well,” said Tony LaFerrara, Lamontagne’s coach on Durham United FC “Speed is one of those things … She can shoot the ball and she loves to score goals. I mean, she just loves to score.”
But during her first year at Syracuse, Lam-ontagne was forced to adapt to an American style of soccer.
Discrepancies became more evident when she looked at her friends in Ontario, Canada who played the ball straight up the field in a more direct manner.
“The Canadian national team has a his-tory of playing more direct. Play the ball long
early and players like Alex run onto it,” said Syracuse head coach Phil Wheddon, who has international coaching experience for the men’s and women’s U.S. national teams.
Now, Lamontagne has shifted to the side. Instead of gathering the ball and simply
streaking down the field, she takes an extra touch or two in Syracuse’s tamed posses-sion-oriented style.
“My freshman year I was kind of adjusting to that,” she said. “… I’m playing out wide so it’s more combining with my other team-mates and then going up top.”
And while her speed perfectly suits the direct style of play in Canada, her crisp foot-work offers a similar match at Syracuse.
Maddie Iozzi lives 10 minutes away from Lamontagne in Canada and grew up playing with her. Each of them played for LaFerrara this summer.
Iozzi said Lamontagne is prolific at slid-ing the ball under the legs of unsuspect-ing defenders — also known as a nutmeg — a move she executed to perfection Sunday against Louisville to sneak into the box.
“She loves to (nutmeg) people,” said Iozzi. “And over the summer she would just (nut-meg) people left, right and center … Everyone knows she’s going to do it but she still gets away with it.”
After a high-scoring summer, Wheddon said he’s got a boost in confidence from Lam-ontagne. She’s garnered attention from the Canadian national team and has solidified her importance on the field for the Orange.
She’s adapted her game to better fit the style of play at Syracuse. Still, her potential to man the goal again remains to be seen.
“Well, if something happens to Courtney (Brosnan), we’ll see what happens,” Whed-don said with a grin. “She might have to put on a pair of gloves.”

SU struggles to convert in season-opening loss to ClarksonBy Matt Alexanderstaff writer
Midway though the third period, Megan Quinn sent in a shot into the crease that bounced off the pads of Clarkson goalkeeper Shea Tiley. Melissa Piacentini gathered the rebound off the left side of the goal and wrapped around behind the net, flicking it into the back of the net.
She skated toward the face-off circle and threw her hands in the air. After an abundance of opportunities, Syracuse finally broke through.
“I just got the lucky bounce and I saw the goalie slide across the crease and it was wide open,” Piacentini said.
The goal, however, came too late. Syracuse spent the first two and a half periods searching for its footing, and poor execution was the differ-ence on Tuesday as No. 5 Clarkson (3-0) defeated Syracuse (0-1), 3-1, at Tennity Ice Pavilion.
Eight minutes into the first period, Piacentini sent a pass that slid just wide of an open goal.
And as the first period winded down, Piacentini again unloaded a pass into the middle of the ice
with no one around to make something happen.“I think quality chances, we have to get bet-
ter,” Syracuse head coach Paul Flanagan said.After stalling in the first period, Syracuse
opened the second period with the coordina-tion and quality looks it had been lacking.
With three minutes left in the period, Emily Costales zipped a pass through two defenders that slid just out of the reach of Sibley. The Orange wasn’t able to even the score.
“We generated a lot of opportunities but I think we just need to start capitalizing on them,” Nicole Renault said.
Flanagan said many shots were directed right into the padding of Tiley. Piacentini’s goal in the third period cut the lead to 2-1 with 10 minutes remaining, but wasn’t able to flip the script.
“It went in stages,” said Flanagan, describing the offensive progression. “You’re going to be a little nervous, a little tentative; it’s the home opener … I thought that resulted in maybe not having enough ‘umph’ there offensively.”
“You’re trying to ensure that you keep playing,” McIntyre said, “and you don’t allow your frustration levels to go up.”
When SU goalie Hendrik Hilpert slid in the box to grab a through ball, the wet grass carried him to the edge of the box. The referee ruled the ball crossed the line and Hilpert
argued with the official before Alseth stepped between the two.
On the ensuing free kick, Albany defender Bernardo Mattos collected a pass and fired an open shot from the center of the box. Hil-pert sprawled to his left for the diving save.
“It was my duty to keep that ball because if
it was out, it was my mistake and I had to take over responsibility for that,” Hilpert said.
With less than two minutes left in the half, though, Hilpert lined up for a corner, but Albany midfielder Carlos Clark’s header floated into the top right corner over a jump-ing SU midfielder Andreas Jenssen. Hilpert said it might have been one of those shots that he could do nothing about.
The frustrations continued in the second half for the Orange. Nanco missed a wide-open net on a volley chance and shoved his face in his hands.
When Buescher lost the ball amid three defenders outside of the box, he and Calla-han both f lapped their arms at their sides and yelled to each other while jogging back on defense.
Eventually, Syracuse put the pieces together to convert on Polk’s late goal.
McIntyre said his team wasn’t in top form, coming off an “emotional” win at Duke on Oct. 2 and with a matchup against No. 2 North Carolina coming up on Saturday. But even in subpar form, the team was able to eke out the victory.
Wake Forest and missed the Central Michigan game. Shafer said that the five starting linemen are the five best in the eyes of his staff.
Shafer complimented Shanley and right guard Aaron Roberts, but said Emerich
has improved his consistency with his tech-nique and blocking.
“That gave us the luxury of saying, ‘Hey, let’s let Rob play the guard a little bit. He’s played that a bunch in the past, see how this combination goes in practice,’” Shafer said. “Felt like it went well, so we stuck with it.”
We weren’t fully at the races. Having said that, we found a way to win tonight.

SU rises to No. 1 spot in rankings
DOG POUNDSyracuse defeats Great Danes on late goal from Ben Polk
Syracuse receives 15 first-place votes to claim top rank
By Liam Sullivan staff writer
Syracuse (11-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast) moved from No. 2 to No. 1 in the latest NFHCA Coaches poll Tuesday morning to top the national rankings for the first time since 2012. The Orange is coming off a 2-0 weekend in which it outscored opponents Monmouth (3-9) and Cor-nell (5-4, 1-1 Ivy) by a 14-1 margin.
“Sixty days from now, it’s going to mean a heck of a lot more,” SU
head coach Ange Bradley said. “ We’d probably be the happi-est people in the world,” Bradley said. “For today, it ’s a reward of the work we’ve done, but it means nothing at this point in time.”
SU earned 915 points and 15 first-place votes to overtake the only other undefeated team in the country — No. 2 Connecticut (11-0) — who earned 894 points and 25 first-place votes. The Orange began the season ranked No. 4, climbed to No. 3 in the first poll and moved to No. 2 the following week before finally passing the Huskies.
The first-place ranking rests on the undefeated record coupled with six wins over ranked opponents, including then-No. 2 North Caro-lina, then-No. 4 Virginia, then-No. 6 Stanford, then-No. 11 Boston Col-lege, then-No. 17 Boston University and then-No. 18 Massachusetts.
Syracuse faces a pair of road matches this weekend when it visits No. 11 Louisville (7-4, 0-4 ACC) Friday at 6 p.m. and Indiana (6-5, 2-1 Big Ten) at 1 p.m. Sunday.
A pass from midfielder Julian Buescher met Ben Polk’s left foot as he jumped into the air near the top of the 18-yard box.
The ball arced high in the sky behind Albany goalie Danny Vitiello, who sprinted to the back left corner of the net and fell down in his futile attempt to bat it with his right arm.
“I knew the keeper was on his line so I just tried to direct it toward the far post,” Polk said. “I didn’t even see where it went.”
Midfielder Liam Callahan was the only player to celebrate. He kicked the ball sitting in the goal up around the back of the net and off the crossbar.
Polk squatted for 15 seconds, holding his nose after tak-ing an elbow to the face. His teammates huddled around to see if he was OK.
Though the reaction on the field didn’t show it, Polk’s goal with just 12 minutes left lifted No. 22 Syracuse (8-2-1, 2-1-1 Atlantic Coast) over Albany (5-5-1, 0-1 America East), 2-1, at
SU Soccer Stadium on Tuesday, extending the Orange’s win-ning streak to five games. Syracuse wasn’t at its best, head coach Ian McIntyre said, but goals from Polk and forward Chris Nanco were enough for the victory.
“We weren’t fully at the races,” McIntyre said. “Having said that, we found a way to win tonight.”
SU’s first half was marred by poor set-piece chances. Mid-fielder Oyvind Alseth sent a corner attempt past everyone and Buescher did the same on a free kick.
“Come on, let’s put a ball in,” McIntyre yelled to his team.He yelled to his players to come forward and play
tighter defense in their attacking thirdThirteen minutes in, Nanco danced around the top
left of the box as three defenders backed in in front of him. He placed a bouncing shot low in the bottom left corner of the net, but the goalie couldn’t dive in time.
Meanwhile, McIntyre was still unsatisfied with his team, screaming and pointing with two fingers to the grass in front of him while the forward celebrated.

Shafer: Trudo will start at right guard against USFBy Chris Libonati asst. copy editor
Syracuse (3-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) will start the same offensive line it rolled onto the field against Louisi-ana State this week against South
Florida (1-3, 0-1 American Athlet-ic), SU head coach Scott Shafer said during his weekly teleconference on Tuesday.
After starting senior Seamus Shanley at right guard for the first three games, junior Jason Emerich
took over at center and senior Rob Trudo played right guard for the Orange against LSU, pushing Shan-ley out of the lineup.
“That’s how we’ll start it out and we’ll see how those guys are play-ing,” Shafer said. “I think it was a
good combination and those guys are playing well together. I think that we have some other guys that could rotate in at times.”
