    T o this day Melissa Chessher still has Andrew McClunes phone number scribbled on a worn piece of paper, now so old its unreadable. She still has the pictures of McClune and his family in her office.

    Chessher, the magazine depart-ment chair, went to McClunes high school prom when she visited him in his hometown of Locker-bie, Scotland. She befriended his mother and spent time at his home with his family.

    His mother wrestled with the idea of even sending McClune to Syracuse University, but understood how important it would be to the 2002 Lockerbie Scholar.

    McClune died ten years ago on Dec. 13, 2002, when he fell from a seventh-floor Sadler Hall window. As SU honors the 24th anniversary

    of the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing over Lockerbie, which killed 35 SU students, the campus continues to honor McClunes memory as well.

    Investigators ruled his death as an accident and closed the case. Reports showed that McClune had a blood alcohol level of 0.17, but his toxicology report was negative for the presence of any other drugs.

    Officers never uncovered any new information regarding how McClune fell from the window. Sgt. Tom Connellan, of the Syracuse Police Department, worked on the case at the time. Ten years later, he said that there is no evidence crimi-nal force was used against McClune. Officers also ruled out the possibil-ity of suicide.

    About two weeks after Nancy Can-tors announcement to leave her posi-tion as Syracuse Universitys chan-cellor in 2014, plans to find SUs 12th chancellor are in progress.

    Richard Thompson, chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Bruce Carter, chair of University Senates

    Agenda Committee, have been in touch regarding forming the search committee, although a concrete time-line and membership for the commit-tee is still being decided.

    The search is expected to take several months and Thompson said SU has plenty of time to find a new chancellor.

    Forming and preparing for the

    search committee could take about a month. The Board of Trustees for-mally establishes the search com-mittee, which according to univer-sity bylaws must have appropriate representation to students, faculty, exempt staff and trustees, after con-sulting with the Agenda Committee on representation.

    When John Prucha had a question or concern he wanted addressed, he didnt reach for the phone.

    Instead, the Syracuse University vice chancellor visited the college or faculty members to talk about the issue in person.

    He would sit down and say, Im concerned about this, said Cath-ryn Newton, dean emerita of the College of Arts and Sciences and a professor of interdisciplinary sci-ences. He immediately led with what he wanted to say.

    And while his remarks sometimes got mixed responses, most admired his approach, Newton said.

    Whether you liked it or hated it, what won him so much respect was that he always talked directly about whatever was concerning him, she said. He didnt have a hidden agenda.

    John James Prucha, former vice chancellor of Academic Affairs at SU, died Monday night in Syracuse at 88. During his more than 20-year career at the university, Prucha served as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and twice as chair of the earth sciences department. He also oversaw the construction of the Heroy Geology Building and the Carrier Dome, according to a Tuesday SU News release.

    The construction of the geol-ogy building was a particularly important project for Prucha, who first joined the university as a geology professor, said Jef-frey Karson, chair of the earth sciences department.

    When Prucha visited the univer-sity a year ago for an alumni open house, Karson said he was able to show Prucha, who was then using a wheelchair, all the changes that had been made to the geology building since its construction.

    It was a pleasure to escort him and show him the changes, Karson said. He was the one who designed the whole building.

    It was this sense of history that Prucha brought to his tenure as chair of the earth sciences department, Karson said. The department has a long history at SU, going back to the first chancellor, Alexander Winchell, who was also a geologist.

    While Prucha understood the departments historical roots, he was also always looking ahead. Pruchas

    Ron Brownstein, renowned political analyst and journalist, successfully condensed 70 years of American elec-toral history into an hour-and-a-half-long talk on Tuesday.

    In a discussion titled American Politics, Today and Tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel, Brownstein talked about long-term trends in party politics and how they are affecting the election.

    This election is showing the American people more of the weak-nesses of each party, rather than the strengths, Brownstein said.

    Throughout the lecture, he used historical analysis to explain why the competition among par-ties has steadily increased, the importance of class inversion and the increasing diversity within American society.

    From the 1940s through the early 1960s, you could draw a line through income levels, given the disparity between social classes, Brownstein said.

    During that time period, the blue-collar workers voted Democratic, while the educated and wealthy voted Republican, he said.

    But in the late 1960s, the Republi-

    can Party made inroads with racial issues, social rights and the impor-tance of state government, attract-ing many blue-collar, religious, white Americans, Brownstein said.

    Then, the Democratic Party gained a strong following of post-graduate Americans who held more liberal and progressive stances on

    various social and racial issues in the 1970s, he said.

    These trends still hold true today, Brownstein said.

    Gender and race also play signifi-cant roles in ones political views, he said. Women and minority groups often lean Democratic, and men and white Americans tend to favor Republicans, he said.

    Brownstein applied this knowl-edge to the current trends of

    todays election. The Obama administration, act-

    ing on knowledge of voter trends, he said, needs 80 percent of the minor-ity vote and 40 percent of the white vote to win.

    Romney on the other hand, Brownstein said, is hoping for 61 percent of the minority vote and 74

    percent of the white vote. The country is very closely

    divided, he said. It is a starkly polarized environment where nei-ther party has a decisive advantage over the other.

    The difference in numbers shows a distinct difference in demographics.

    Republicans, Brownstein said, have been unable to connect with the rising minority population while Democrats cannot articu-

    late a vision of an activist gov-ernment that can keep the white community engaged.

    With Brownsteins research on electoral trends proving drastic change can happen at any time, he leaves the winner of the election with three words of advice: Dont unpack everything.

    Corey Goldstone, a senior politi-cal science major, said Brownsteins lecture gave him a clearer under-standing of why race plays a huge part in elections.

    Brownstein highlighted race as having a much harsher distinction than other political analysts and journalists would like to admit, he said. He gave me a different way to look at the electoral process.

    Toward the very end of the discus-sion, Brownstein quoted Theodore Roosevelt and said: We are all Amer-icans. Our common interests are as broad as the continent.

    Brownstein said we need to think this way and not keep pushing issues onto future generations rather than resolve them now, he said.

    Remaining unbiased, Brownstein said: I think whomever is elected has the obligation to try. We need it to happen for the sake of divide.

    In more than eight years of leadership, Chancellor Nancy Cantor has led Syracuse University into the 21st century, progress-ing in myriad ways especially in the realm of environmental sustainability.

    On Oct. 12, Cantor announced her plan to leave the university at the end of her contract in 2014. She stressed her continuation of improving the university by saying she is sprinting to the finish line, according to her email.

    Though Cantor has dedicated her remain-ing time here to the continued development of the university, environmental sustain-ability initiatives must not be put on the back burner. Its easy to foresee the temporary forgetfulness that can ensue in crunch time, but Cantors history shows she has dedication to our campus and the universitys environ-mental initiatives.

    Although Cantor has never quoted environ-mentalism as a main goal, she built pathways for future sustainability efforts. Cantor has

    created university departments and set the universitys stance on climate change with the creation and signing of commitments.

    The university has made great improve-ments in sustainability, predominantly with the restructuring of the Energy and Comput-ing Management department to Energy Sys-tems and Sustainability Management in 2007. ESSM is further divided into six functional service areas, including the SU Sustainabil-ity Division.

    The creation of the Sustainability Divi-sion brought the hiring of four full-time

    employees focused on the environmental sustainability of the university. The division run smultiple campaigns a year focusing on everything from transportation to recycling.

    A rideshare system has been created so faculty, staff and students can connect and carpool to campus, reducing carbon emis-sions. Electronic recycling programs have sprouted up on campus to properly dispose of e-waste. The dining centers compost food waste. All of this is due to the Sustainability Division and involvement of passionate students.

    The highest point of sustainability pro-gression has been the chancellors signing of the American College and University Presi-dents Climate Commitment. In February 2007, Cantor signed the agreement, making SU one of the largest private universities committed to zero net greenhouse gas emis-sions, according to the Sustainability Divi-sion website.

    With the signing of the agreement, SU cre-

    ated its Climate Action Plan in 2009, which created a goal of climate neutrality by 2040. This has far-reaching effects from a chancel-lor, since most hold the position for at least a decade.

    The creation of the Sustainability Divi-sion and SUs Climate Action Plan cemented sustainability progression for our campus. Cantor has not only made sustainability efforts possible in the here and now, but has also made these efforts possible in the future by forming goals and divisions to continue on without her leadership.

    Though Cantor may not have set envi-ronmental sustainability as her main goal, change has been made. She has set an example for our campus you dont have to be an environmental activist to care about sustainability. Whether you are a leader or not, environmentalism can be inclusive throughout our lives.

    Connective Corridor officials did not plan well when they installed expen-sive, waist-high lights.

    The lights are breakable, as 19 of 43 lights on University Avenue have already been damaged or broken. The lights heights and proximity to cam-pus also make them an easy target.

    Though students and other com-munity members should not commit acts of vandalism, the lights, as installed, provide easy targets for vandals. Sometimes people are out late at night, and they could be intoxi-cated and may break the law.

    It happens. Officials know this and should have planned ahead.

    Officials plan on repairing the current lights. Each light cost $1,100 initially, plus labor. The expense to fix them will not be as high, but it will still be an expensive repair. Unless action is taken to prevent vandalism, it will be a constant cost for Connec-tive Corridor officials to upkeep.

    One suggestion is that officials cut their losses now: Uninstall all the lights, try to find a way to repurpose or reuse them and invest in lights that will be less susceptible to vandal-ism. While this would fix the prob-lem, it may not be the most attractive solution to officials.

    Another solution would be to design a metal cage or fixture to cover the bulb. The overall design of the lights is industrial, and a practi-cal but aesthetic covering could be designed at a lower cost. This way, the lights would still serve their purpose, would be able to stay at the current height and would be harder to break.

    This incident signals poor plan-ning by officials. They should have taken the height and placement of the lights into consideration before installing them. But there are ways to prevent the problem from continuing.

    Vandalism shows lack of foresight

    In its October issue, Jerk Magazine published an unfair article attacking the popularity of frozen yogurt and positioning the new Yogurtland shop on Marshall Street as a negative stimulant to the imaginary crusade against ice cream.

    Jerks article argued frozen yogurt was not as satisfying or as indulgent as ice cream. Sure, everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. However, if frozen yogurt is so boring, why is the Yogurtland coupon ripped out of every copy of Jerk around campus?

    Yes, Jerk Magazine printed a full-page advertisement for Yogurtland in the same issue it published an article bashing the frozen-yogurt trend.

    Its easy to be upset with the publication that dropkicked your

    product. However, Id just like to take a moment to set the record straight.

    First, get your facts straight! Yogurtland did not replace Pita El Saha. Pita El Saha was located a few doors down.

    As a Yogurtland store associate, I was frustrated by this article. Yogurt-land was portrayed not only unfairly, but also incorrectly. The Jerk article questioned the health benefits of self-serve frozen yogurt and denounced the Yogurtland topping selections as a clusterf*** of cellulite-breeding delights. Rude much?

    Furthermore, the article stated that

    most Yogurtland customers walk past fruit on the topping bar and continue on to the selection of candy. Yogurtland employees are constantly peeling, chopping and dicing an exotic variety of fruit to keep up with custom-er demand. We replenish strawberries and kiwis on the topping bar far more often than any other treat.

    Yogurtland offers one of the healthiest alternatives to satisfying a sweet tooth. Many of our flavors are nonfat, gluten free and very low-cal. Additionally, every Yogurtland flavor is packed with essential vitamins and calcium needed for a healthy lifestyle. The calories in our flavors range from only 20-30 calories per ounce. Yogurt-land frozen yogurt is not a dessert you need to feel guilty about enjoying.

    Our valued customers will agree, each Yogurtland flavor tastes like the real thing. Our featured pumpkin pie tastes identical to the treat we will all enjoy with our families for the upcom-ing Thanksgiving holiday.

    All of us at Yogurtland have enjoyed being a part of your lives since our opening in August. We look forward to serving your frozen yogurt love in the future and making your Yogurtland experience memorable. See you on Marshall Street!

    P.S. Jerk Magazine, Taco Bell said it best: You got it wrong, and youre probably feeling pretty bad right about now. But you know what always helps? Saying to everyone, Im sorry.

    Carnival close-upAdvisory committee to audit Great New York State Fair

    By Marissa BlanchardCONTRIBUTING WRITER

    F or the first time in five years, a volunteer advisory committee will institute an audit of the Great New York State Fair to ensure the value of the $17- to $18-million event.

    The governor-established com-mittee hopes that an independent, outside auditor will guarantee the accuracy of financial records and display information that will help better budget the event, The Post Standard reported on Oct. 16.

    The fair underwent several chang-es in the past five years, including the elimination of the Industrial Exhibit Authority. This entity was disbanded in a unanimous New York state Sen-ate vote in 2009 after more than 70 years of operation, The Post Standard reported on May 5, 2009.

    The Industrial Exhibit Authority employed a majority of fair workers, owned five buildings at the fair and ran on a $6-million budget, The Post-Standard reported.

    New York state expected to save $150,000 a year in insurance

    and auditing costs by merging the entity with the current owner of the fairground, the Department of Agriculture and Markets, The Post-Standard reported.

    Gov. Andrew Cuomo established the fair advisory committee, which is now pushing for the audit, just a year ago. This committee can make suggestions, such as implementing an audit, but has no power to impose policy, The Post-Standard reported.

    The states inspector general published revealing reports of free tickets for New York State Police

    and even special discounts given to the former fair director, Peter Cappuccilli, as well. The former director pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanor and was forced to pay $50,000 to the state, The Post-Standard reported.

    In order to prevent such occur-rences, the committee hopes to conduct the audit soon, but did not set a timeline, said Jim Bays, com-missioner of the Department of Agriculture and Markets, The Post-Standard reported.

    that night said they were all drinking on the third floor of Sadler when McClune began speak-ing gibberish and went to the bathroom, The Daily Orange reported on Feb. 26, 2003. Friends who followed McClune there said he was vis-ibly agitated and then went to the seventh floor, where he entered another friends room.

    The seventh-floor resident then struggled with McClune, causing the resident to seek medical attention for his shoulder. McClune was later found outside of Sadler after falling from the win-dow, and two hours later, medical personnel pro-nounced him dead at Upstate Medical University.

    Chessher, the magazine department chair, said McClunes mother and brothers cant find peace because they will never be able to solve the mystery of McClunes death.

    Every year on Dec. 13, Lawrence Mason, profes-sor of multimedia, photography and graphic design, writes to McClunes family in Lockerbie.

    He and Chessher were both close to McClune during his time at SU, after spending six months with him in Lockerbie while writing a book

    about the Pan Am Flight 103 disaster.His family told me once that their biggest

    fear was that he would be forgotten, he said. They didnt want him to be forgotten at home and they didnt want him to be forgotten here.

    Reflecting on McClunes death, Chessher began tearing up.

    All I could think about is that this woman had given us her son and trusted that we would take care of him, and we werent able to, Chessher said. I feel like we let down our end of the bar-gain. They took care of us and took care of our loved one, and we failed. We couldnt reciprocate.

    McClune was known for his athleticism, specifically for his talent for curling, a strong tradition in Lockerbie, Mason said.

    McClune created SUs club curling team, he said. Mason, the adviser of the team, said he will always remember standing in the observation room and watching McClunes elegant and nearly perfect glide on the ice, a difficult task in the sport.

    McClune and his three other teammates qualified for the U.S. Collegiate Champion-ships in St. Paul, Minn. Although McClune died before the competition, the team decided to compete without their skipper.

    They dedicated themselves to Andrew, Mason said. They started every match with a

    huddle and then they would break the huddle and say For Andrew.

    McClunes memory will be honored through-out Remembrance Week, which began Sunday. His portrait hangs in the Shaffer Art Building rotunda and his name is mentioned in the Remembrance Convocation program.

    While many wondered if the Lockerbie pro-gram would continue after McClunes death, applications from Lockerbie Academy never decreased, said Samuel Gorovitz, one of the Lockerbie Scholars program founders.

    The Lockerbie Scholar Program, as a pro-gram, makes real the fact that its possible to endure the most grotesque calamity and yet in a way rise up and go on with something positive, Gorovitz said.

    Throughout Remembrance Week, McClunes legacy has been on Claire Dorrances mind. Dorrance, one of this years Lockerbie Scholars, didnt personally know McClune, but was close with his mother Deborah and his youngest brother Christopher.

    McClune is still remembered and loved by those in Lockerbie. His presence is still a part of the community, she said.

    This week brings up so many emotions,

    Dorrance said. It has allowed me to have a deep connection with someone I have never met.

    Dorrance said she and Rachel Nicholson, the other Lockerbie Scholar, are planning on incor-porating McClune and his legacy into their speeches at the Rose Laying Ceremony.

    This has been the year of my life, Dorrance said. There is not a day that goes by where Im not thankful. The fact that it was cut short for Andrew is just so sad.

    While Chessher said she is torn about whether McClune should be included in Remembrance Week ceremonies, since he isnt a victim, she said he shares similarities with the 35 students who died.

    Like those who died, McClune was curious about the world and excited to experience other cultures.

    Mason said hed like the community to see McClunes legacy in the form of all the Locker-bie Scholars who continue to come to SU.

    Said Mason: I think that if people see Andrew in the eyes of the current scholars, then thats a good way to remember him because they share the same hopes and dreams and came from the same background from a small town in Scotland.

    CHANCELLORF R O M P A G E 1

    Cantor announced on Oct. 12 her plans to leave the university when her contract expires in 2014. She became SUs 11th chancellor in 2004 and has led the university for nearly a decade with a focus on expanding the SU name worldwide and strengthening the ties to the city through programs such as the Connective Corridor.

    Cantor said she does not plan on being involved in the search committee. Cantor will be consulted during the process and Thompson said he would like to find a candidate who matches Cantors commitment to the university.

    We certainly will talk with her about the process because thats important not only for the university, but also to sustain her legacy, Thompson said.

    University officials have said Cantor has

    given the search committee a generous amount of time to find the next chancellor. Kenneth Buzz Shaw, who served as SUs 10th chancel-lor from 1991 to 2004, announced he would retire a little more than a year ahead of time.

    The search committee that resulted in find-ing Cantor began in June 2003 and took about eight months, said Joe Lampe, former chairman of the SU Board of Trustees and chair of the 11th chancellor search committee. Lampe said the search committee was formed rather quickly.

    It took probably a week or 10 days to get it all done because we wanted to start the search, he said. The committee also hired a consultant from Korn/Ferry International, a consulting and recruiting firm for leadership positions in busi-ness and higher education, to assist in the process.

    In the bylaws governing the University Sen-ate and Board of Trustees, chancellor search procedures are laid out, but with enough flex-ibility that each search can and will vary.

    Bylaws call for appropriate representation from various university bodies, but do not dic-tate a specific number of committee members.

    During the process to find the 11th chancel-lor, Lampe said there were between 30 and 35 people who wanted to apply for an interview. The group was narrowed down to about 20 individuals who all had a background as either the leader or secondary leader of a university in the East or Midwest, and interviews were done with the com-mittee to find the top four candidates, Lampe said.

    Its kind of difficult. Youre looking for someone who youre obviously going to have a relatively long-term contract with, Lampe said. He said most university chancellors remain at a university for between five and 10 years.

    Cantor was among the top four candidates and interviewed again with the committee before being voted as the top choice by the committee. Six months after beginning the search, Lampe approached Cantor about taking

    the position. She accepted and about another month was spent working out details before the Board of Trustees officially voted for Cantor and announced the decision in February 2004.

    Lampe said looking back, Cantor was the right decision for the university because her appoint-ment was made by the consensus of the commit-tee. He said members of the search committee originally suggested Cantor and the specialist from Korn/Ferry International inquired about her interest in working at SU before she applied.

    Although Lampes search committee was able to find the 11th chancellor in under a year, he had only one piece of advice for the current board members:

    TIMELINE FOR NANCY CANTORS APPOINTMENTThe University Senate and Board of Trustees each have bylaws regarding the process of finding a chancellor. Although Kenneth Buzz Shaw and Nancy Cantor have announced their departures at different times in their tenures, former Chairman of the Board of Trust-ees Joe Lampe said he expects the process to be similar.

    April 2003Kenneth Buzz Shaw announces he will leave his position as 10th chan-cellor at SU in 2004.

    June 2003

    A search committee to find the next chancellor, formed through the Board of Trustees with input from the Uni-versity Senates agenda committee, begins its search. Then- Chairman of the Board of Trustees Joe Lampe heads the committee.

    December 2003

    Six months after beginning its search, the commit-tee has interviewed about 20 candidates. After nar-rowing these candidates down to the top four favor-ites, more interviews are done before the committee votes for Nancy Cantor.

    February 2004

    After the Board of Trustees finalizes the decision to choose Cantor and a contract is decided on, university officials announce Cantor will serve as the 11th chancellor.

    masters and doctorate students conducted research on many topics ahead of their time, Karson said.

    But regardless of the research topic, Karson said, Prucha guided all of his stu-dents one of whom is the vice president of Exxon Mobil Corp. and another, Michael Thonis, who is an SU trustee with the same focus and dedication.

    He really mentored them in ways that allowed them to take off in their careers, he said.

    Pruchas student-centered approach also extended to his time as department chair,

    Newton said. He made sure students had special educational opportunities, such as field work, available to them and encour-aged close relationships between students and faculty.

    Even after Prucha left his position as vice chancellor and returned to teaching, he would often pile into a van with nine or 10 students and drive to geological sites all over the coun-try, Newton said.

    But regardless of where he was, Prucha rarely stopped teaching.

    His son, Stephen Prucha, a 1974 SU grad-uate, said he remembers his father as a consummate educator who was always teaching both his students at SU and his own children.

    He liked to sit around and have fun, but in

    the end it all came back to educating, he said.John Prucha was always educating himself

    too. As a geologist, his idea of a family trip was to look at rocks in the places his family, made up of 10 children, visited on vacation, Stephen Prucha recalled.

    This love of research extended to SU, where he emphasized fundamental research both in his own career as a geologist and his time as an administrator, Stephen Prucha said.

    But despite the many positions he held at SU, John Prucha never fit just one title, Newton said.

    He was a lot more than that, she said. He was someone with a lot of humanity and humor.

    the sweet stuff in the middle

    WEDNESDAYoctober 24, 2012

    By Allie CarenSTAFF WRITER

    Jesse Tyler Ferguson skipped onto the stage with a smile on his face and hands tucked in his coat pockets. It was to no ones surprise that he was welcomed with roaring applause.

    He sported an orange and blue bowtie given to him by Univer-sity Union just like the bow-ties that each member of UU also wore at the event.

    Ferguson, a Modern Family star, brought

    smiles, laughter and warm energy to

    Syracuse Universitys Goldstein Auditorium

    on Tuesday night at An Evening with Mod-

    ern Familys Jesse Tyler Ferguson, where he drew

    a crowd of more than 1,300 Syracuse community members.

    The event was presented by University Union Performing Arts, and co-sponsored by the LGBT Resource Center and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications Television-Radio-Film department.

    Richard Dubin, a television, radio and film professor, con-ducted the discussion. The talk started at 8:15 p.m., though it was planned to begin at 8 p.m. It began with a video for Fergu-sons Tie The Knot campaign, which sells bowties to raise money for marriage equality.

    Dubin led the conversation through the small roads of Fer-gusons home in Albuquerque, N.M., to the bustling avenues of Manhattan, where Ferguson moved at 18.

    The audience let out an audi-ble aw toward the end of the short clip when Ferguson said, Tie the knot, so one day we can too.

    Fergusons fiance, Justin Miki-ta, is his partner in the organiza-tion. Ferguson said it was wholly Mikitas idea.

    I just really wanted to design bowties, Ferguson said.

    Ferguson told the audience about adversity he faced from his peers as early as middle school.

    Alabaster skin, red hair, gay its not a good combination, he said.

    Ferguson switched schools in the 8th grade because of how much the bullying had elevated.

    Modern Family star speaksScandalous

    scaryor

    H alloween is a holiday full of tra-ditions. People tell ghost stories and trick-or-treat around friendly neighborhoods looking for seasonal candy. Costumes of ghouls and goblins were once a standard, scaring children into gleeful fits of frantic giggles all over the world.

    In recent years, the trend has shifted slightly. Scary has transformed into scantily clad as Halloween has become a ubiquitous party holiday across college campuses.

    It takes a lot to surprise Chloe Slade when it comes to Halloween. As a senior, shes seen student costumes run the gamut on the scan-dalous spectrum.

    And this year shouldnt be any different. Because Halloween falls on a Wednesday, Slade guessed that the holiday might last eight or nine days for some students.

    The freshmen will be in for a real treat, said Slade, a communication and rhetorical studies major. But for all of the older stu-dents, its not our first rodeo.

    But Slade feels like Halloween has lost its novelty with theme parties taking over normal weekends. So she plans to make her costumes stand out from the crowd.

    Scandalous attire is actually a year-round thing to wear for a lot of people, she said. Its the nonscandalous, creative costumes that stand out in this particular demographic.

    So, when planning costumes, Slade took that creative spark and ran

    Halloween costumes teeter between provocative, creative

    stars, Ferguson attended college. He attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City.

    It got me to the city, he said before whispering, I think this school is a little better.

    Questions posed by the audience shed a lot of light on Fergusons relationships with the other Modern Family actors and

    actresses on and off the stage. His opinions of his coworkers were posi-

    tive, as he said he loves the whole cast.Ferguson said that the show operates in

    the real world, and he likes the fact that his character and his characters gay relation-ship function as part of normal family and

    have it be a nonissue.He said that he and his partner on the

    show, Cam (Eric Stonestreet), arent the butt of the joke (on the show.) Theyre actu-ally a participatory part of the story a third of the family.

    For Modern Family fans, Ferguson told the audience that he and the other actors dont improvise their lines too often. The writers are that good, he said.

    And for those seeking some advice in how to go about getting oneself seen, Ferguson provided the following:

    A lot of its just putting yourself out there in as many ways as you can without being incredibly intrusive, he said. When people can come see you do what you do, thats always helpful.

    He also stressed the importance of keep-ing ones eyes on the prize when trying to break into the industry because its really, really difficult.

    Jorge Talamantes, a sophomore psychology major, came because Ferguson is a big advo-cate for gay rights.

    Being a gay student, I think its so important to see people like him speak to us, he said.

    Talamantes found Fergusons obvious genuineness impactful. He is a fan of Mod-ern Family.

    Said Talamentes: For him, getting to the point where he is in the media and people respecting him it makes a big impact towards me because I want to be to the point where were all able to be respected like that.

    with it. One of her costume ideas, suggested by a friend, is reality TV darling Honey Boo Boo.

    With a costume complete with a hot pink tutu, rhinestones and a pink corset, Slade said the search is on for white-laced socks.

    Instead of looking at reality TV for her sec-ond idea, Slade decided to zombify herself based on reality. She said that because it has been the year of the real-life zombies, she plans to join the walking dead for a night.

    Said Slade: I decided to go against the average scandalous Halloween costume and buy some fun face makeup to transform into a zombie one night.

    Halloween is an opportunity to be someone else for a night. But for many Syracuse Univer-sity students, its also an opportunity to show off their scandalous side. As Lauren Levy argues, this may be students last chance.

    Levy said that during her time at SU, she has realized that a scandalous Halloween costume

    is expected if youre female. Its become some-what of a running joke how far girls will go.

    But after graduation, all that will change: Levy said she would never feel comfortable donning a revealing costume once she leaves campus for good.

    You would come out looking like Legally Blonde, she said.

    Zoe Guzman, a senior forensic science and anthropology major, agrees and understands why costumes that leave a lot to be desired fabric-wise seem to be the norm: Its the one night a year girls can wear whatever they want and escape judgment.

    Some girls are like, I want to feel pretty; I want to show off my assets so Im going to do it this night, she said.

    Guzman plans on dressing up as Dora the Explorer this Halloween, but wouldnt rule out the idea of scandalous attire.

    Said Guzman: I dont mind looking sexy because I mean, sure, why not. Its part of being a woman. But theres a difference. I wouldnt wear a bra and hot pants.

    Among the decisions that Halloween presents

    are which weekend to party, and whether to go with a group costume or to fly solo.

    Group costumes are hard to pull off, espe-cially with a large amount of people. But Emilia Barron and her sisters in Kappa Alpha Theta made up their minds.

    Barron, a sophomore advertising major, and her Theta pledge class will go as the 50 states, each representing a different state.

    I chose Vermont, she said. Since Ben and Jerrys ice cream is made in Vermont, Ive decided to dress up as Ben and Jerrys.

    Not choosing the group costume route, Mackenzie Ruby, a freshman biochemistry and chemical engineering dual major, chose her costume based on her own inspiration.

    I wanted to be a mix of something modern yet something old and vintage, she said. I decided to take a twist on the classic masquerade costume.

    Ruby sees the reoccurring theme in scandal-ous clothes taking precedence over comfort.

    It can almost be a societal norm. If youre not sporting a slutty costume, youre not fitting in, she said.

    Despite the weather getting colder, the Hal-loween costumes seem to be getting smaller and smaller in sheer body surface area covered.

    Mary Dickinson Jensen, a senior internation-al relations major, found this element of the inap-propriate apparel trend particularly unnerving.

    We live in Syracuse, N.Y. Youre going to freeze, Jensen said. I had a roommate and I was legitimately worried about her going out. She had like three different costumes and none of them were appropriate clothing.

    Jensen will be dressing up as the hippopota-mus ballerina from Fantasia, a costume that coincides with her philosophy on dress; she is a self-described conservative dresser.

    She is a practicing Muslim and partly attri-butes her cultural background to her lack of desire to join any of her scantily clad peers.

    I mean, I guess if people just want to do it, sure, Jensen said. But I dont think its neces-sarily a good thing.

    Lindsay Cameron, a junior public relations and writing dual major, also finds elements of campus Halloween costumes somewhat ridiculous.

    Cameron referenced the movie Mean Girls, where they talk about how it has become the only night in the year where girls can dress inappropriately without being judged.

    She pointed out, however, that people still judge.Said Cameron: People think that its OK just

    because its a holiday and theyre like, Oh no, this is a costume. I look like a bunny, Im wear-ing bunny ears. No. You look like a playboy bunny wearing a leotard.

    By Danielle OdiamarSTAFF WRITER

    A s two friends who once bonded over hunting down Asian noodle shops in the Spanish capitol of Madrid, my dining partner and I switched gears and searched for some quality Latin fare in Syracuse.

    We didnt have to go far. Scrunched in the cen-ter of a crowded strip of stores on Westcott Street, its fluorescent lights bouncing off the pale walls, Las Delicias Latin American- and Caribbean-influenced dishes were a flavorful surprise.

    The menu read like the best-eats list from our southern neighbors: Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba and the Caribbean, to name a few. The menu had me craving mofongo, a dish of mashed plantains that I had never tried before, but heard was a delicious Latin staple. But when I lined up to place my order I was instantly faced with the dilemma of vibrant mounds of yellow rice and oxtail stew simmering behind the glass display.

    All was saved when my friend gladly volun-teered to get the mofongo con chicharrones de pollo, ($10.95). Our plates were wider than our

    heads and generously piled up. I didnt know what to expect of the mofongo; I thought it might be too mushy for my taste. But it turns out the mofongo was solid and had a slightly chewy con-sistency. The flavor was surprisingly starchy and reminded me a bit of polenta, a great pairing with the strips of moist, boldly seasoned chicken.

    My oxtail stew and yellow rice ($10.35) was a little difficult to get off the bone, but very tender and flavorful. Oxtail has natural flavor that should be emphasized, not added to, and the rich herbs and veggies it had been stewing in did just that. The yellow rice mixed with green olives was the perfect companion. Between the two of our dishes and the rela-tively tiny space at Las Delicias, my friend and I agreed that it felt like we were eating a hearty, home-cooked meal made just for the two of us.

    Fully aware of how much we can eat, we both indulged in some side dishes that were equally delicious and dynamic in flavor. The list of empanada choices was hard to chose from: chicken, broccoli, guava, cinnamon and apples all sounded like good bets. My dining partner got a traditional beef empanada ($1.45) that

    came out fresh from the oven, steam floating up from its crisp edges. The ground beef inside was warm with a little spice to it, an otherwise simple patty that perfectly hit the spot.

    French fries are my ultimate vice, so I was intrigued by the yuca fritas ($4.50) variation. The yuca was cut into thick steak fries and cooked exactly how I love fries a crisp crunch outside and smooth inside. Alone, the texture was what really stood out, but with the addition of some ketchup and hot sauce, the woody, nutty flavor of the root was highlighted and really helped it stand out.

    In retrospect, the yuca flavor would have ben-efited from banana ketchup, a popular Philippine condiment made from mashed banana, sugar, vin-egar and spices. But normal ketchup worked too.

    As we ate, we found our shoulders shifting slightly back and forth with the soft Spanish music playing in the otherwise quiet dining area. The occasional pot would clang from the open kitchen behind the counter followed by the choppy mix of Spanish and English exchanged between staff members.

    The staff didnt offer up any fake smiles or

    flowery welcomes. They were direct and to the point, which could come off as blunt, even rude. But the woman behind the counter was, in fact, conversational and helpfully decisive in mak-ing my order while the woman who brought us our food had a warm, friendly smile. Both of them treated us like wed been coming in every Monday night for the past four years. A part of me wishes we had been.

    Simon settles into offense as freshman at SUBy Jack Truitt

    STAFF WRITER

    It was senior day when Syracuse defeated St. Johns on Sunday.

    But it was impossible to miss the effect of a freshman, Erin Simon, who seemed to be in the middle of every Orange attack.

    Simons persistence on the field has gar-nered comparisons from her coach to the Energizer Bunny.

    Shes one of those people you would hate to play against because she just doesnt stop, head coach Phil Wheddon said. She just keeps going and going and going and going. Shes got an extra battery pack hidden somewhere I think.

    Simon was named to the Big East Honor Roll this week after scoring the first goal in Syracuses 3-0 victory over St. Johns.

    Definitely means a lot, she said of the honor. Its not just my hard work, its the players around me who make me better every day and give me the ball as I need to do to put it in the back of the net.

    The recognition may have come at the end of the regular season, but Simon has been a key player for the Orange (9-6-2, 6-3-1 Big East) since scoring against Long Island on Sept. 7 in the 90th minute to beat the Blackbirds 2-1.

    It was Simons first goal of the season. Six

    weeks later, she is tied for second on the team in both goals and points.

    Three of the four goals Simon has scored this year have decided games for the Orange. She scored the first goal of the game in shutouts against both Pittsburgh and St. Johns, in addi-tion to the late goal against Long Island.

    And all of this comes after missing her senior season in high school because of injury. Coming off a missed year, Simon said she had to prove herself once she came to Syracuse.

    I definitely had to put my name out there and make an impact as soon as I stepped on the field because they had no idea what I was like, Simon said.

    Though averaging more than 66 minutes per game, Simon did not start until the seventh game of the season against Army, two days after her game-winning header against Long Island.

    But since then she has started nine of the final 11 games of the season, averaging 75 minutes per game.

    Wheddon and his staff aired on the side of caution in playing Simon early on, given that she was not only a freshman, but had also been recovering from an injury.

    She came in, she proved she was ready and shes been a very pleasant surprise because obviously her senior year she didnt really

    play, so shes been terrific, Wheddon said. I cant say enough about her.

    Junior midfielder Rachel Blum said Simon has become increasingly confident through-out the season, and is only improving as she becomes more comfortable in the offense. Blum credits Simons vision and positioning as the reasons for her success.

    Thats what you look for in a forward: someone who has clear vision for the goal and is going to be tenacious to get on the end of the ball, Blum said. She keeps getting in the right positions and she doesnt get nervous under pressure.

    Simon said she has merely been at the right place at the right time, and is only finish-ing the chances her teammates create for her. When you get the opportunities, you have to put them in the back of the net, Simon said.

    In a season where a failure to finish has plagued the Orange, Simons ability to do so has been that much more important.

    Shes been very composed in front of goal for someone whos relatively, you know, new to this level of soccer, Wheddon said. In all honesty, she probably could have had a few more goals, but the goals that she has scored have been very important to us.

    opponent took penalty kick after penalty kick. Somehow the ball would get through the wall

    and every time shed come out with the ball on the other side, Anghels mother said. It was amaz-ing. And this kept on happening because she kept on taking more than six steps.

    Anghels success continued with stints on various travel and school teams, including the renowned Albertson Fury.

    Over the years she always came up with saves that were just mind boggling, Fury coach Phil Casella said. Shes just perfected the position as well as anyone could have done at her age on Long Island or in New York.

    Although she took over the starting posi-tion at SU early in her freshmen season, her success didnt come easily. She struggled with the teams fitness standards.

    I got pretty down on myself, she said. After that, after I dug myself out of that little rut, I stopped complaining and being nega-tive and became this really positive person. Every day I kind of just tell myself to be happy and just seize the moment.

    About three years ago, Anghel began keeping a journal. She chronicles every-thing in life, soccer and not. She tries to do it three times a week, and says its a great way to clear her mind. She goes into games lighthearted and relaxed, and its a big reason for her success.

    When I came back to school (for sophomore year), I came from a spring where I was struggling, wasnt fit, wasnt ready for the standard, Anghel said. I came back after the summer I was killing all the fitness tests. The coaches were so proud of me.

    SU head coach Phil Wheddon said one thing thats impressed him about Anghel is her never-ending drive to get better, specifically with fitness. Anghel ranks in the top eight on the team in fitness and Wheddon said shes set a standard for field players as well.

    Wheddon, who was also a goalkeeper and

    has experience as an assistant coach with the mens and womens national teams, has men-tored Anghel. Wheddon works with her for an hour each practice and the two occasionally meet to watch film.

    He strives for perfection, and thats what I want. I want to be perfect, Anghel said. Hes the best of the best, he really is. Hes trained Hope Solo, Tim Howard, been to the highest levels, World Cups. Hes seen the world. And to have him coaching me, teaching me how to play the game, thats pretty special.

    Wheddon rewarded Anghel for her play when he invited her to the U.S. national camp in May.

    Hes so cheesy, Anghel said. He was like, Do you have sunscreen? Im like, What, what are you talking about, Phil? And hes like, Well, you just got invited to L.A. to train with the (U-23) national team. And I was like, Whoa.

    Wheddon said a roster spot opened up and he naturally recommended Anghel. Wheddon said she performed so well in camp that if there were an international game to be played at that point, she would have been the starting keeper.

    Wheddon said he sees the competitive drive in Anghel that Solo and U.S. goaltend-ing great Briana Scurry have, and that will help her as she improves.

    Anghel has five shutouts this year and is a big reason for the teams nine wins. As the team preps for the postseason, Anghel is ready to take another step in her career.

    Although it was hard at the beginning, it was all worth it, she said. Ive learned valuable things here that I wouldnt have learned anywhere else. I really think these girls have an opportunity to do something not only this year, but in years coming. I really think that Syracuse is going to be a powerhouse.

    SUs turnaround strongly correlates with Anghels arrival. Shes a main character in a narrative that could have a fairytale ending this season. A story Anghel would surely make room for in her journal.

    The field goal was blocked, and one play later, the Owls ran for a 35-yard game-sealing score.

    Its a common theme for the Bulls during Daniels tenure. The fourth-year quarter-back starts slow early on, plays better late and puts his team in a position to win. Then, by virtue of a defensive gaffe or an ill-timed interception, the Bulls lose again.

    As a team leader, I cant point fingers, Daniels said. I can only try and get better with the group of guys we have, and I know we have a team here we can win. We all believe were better than our record indicates.

    After every game, the Bulls come together in the locker room for their post-game vow. Win or lose, they pledge that they wont surrender.

    Daniels said this team is sticking to that pledge. And Holtz, who has watched his pro-gram wither from upstart title contender to Big East bottom feeder, is happy that his team hasnt lost hope yet.

    Everyones upset; were upset, Holtz said. We preach that last weeks game doesnt have anything to do with this weeks unless we allow it. But thats certainly hard-er to do when youve been through what weve been through.

    Syracuse mens hockey team draws from inspiration in improved seasonBy Adelyn Biedenbach

    STAFF WRITER

    A No. 1 jersey hangs next to blue stickers spell-ing out Syracuse on the bench in front of the empty and ready ice.

    The Syracuse mens ice hockey team remembers the former wearer of that jersey and taps his picture before taking the ice for each home game, drawing inspiration from the memory. Its just part of the game-day ritual for the close-knit hockey club.

    The jersey belonged to Richie Carlston, who would be a member of the senior class this year had he not had his life cut short by a car accident the summer after his freshman year.

    He was a very uplifting kid to be around one of those guys in the locker room that you cant ever replace, said senior center Wes Rene, a captain of an SU hockey team off to one of its best starts in program history.

    The memory of the former teammate lives on, contributing to the forward momentum of the team.

    I think when you are in a team environ-ment like we are and you are playing such a

    competitive sport at a high level, you really grow close to every single person, junior right wing Russell Suskind said.

    Suskind, a native of Hollywood, Fla., weighed the hockey team in his choice to come to Syracuse University, as did other players on the team.

    I think Syracuse represented the perfect blend between having hockey be a part of my life and having it being a competitive aspect of my life, but also being able to really enjoy the college experience, he said.

    A member of the American Collegiate Hock-ey Associations Northeast Colligate League, Syracuse plays about 15 home games each year. The Tennity Ice Pavilion on South Cam-pus is its primary facility.

    The team works through a rigorous schedule, usually holding practices Tuesdays through Thursdays with game days and potential travel days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

    After tryouts at the beginning of the sea-son narrow the team down to around 30, competition in practice decides the weekly-adjusted, four-line roster.

    Playing to make the weekly lineup allows

    the players to bring the best out of each other, senior center Simon Hebert said.

    It increases the eagerness and the competi-tiveness of the players during practice, Hebert said. Overall the skill level since my freshman year has increased dramatically.

    Each season, new opponents are being added to the schedule.

    We are starting to get some of the more competitive teams in the country on our sched-ule because weve progressed tremendously throughout the past three years, Rene said.

    Rene and Hebert have seen numerous changes in the caliber of game play since joining the team.

    My sophomore year, we ended up win-ning our conference and it was a huge come-back game, Hebert said. We were down 3-0 going into the third period and we ended up winning 8-4.

    Rene agreed, adding that moment was a big stepping point for the current group, which has the goal of making it to nationals this season.

    A strong start to the season was comprised of matchups against No. 16 Rhode Island and No. 25 West Chester. The then-unranked SU team

    took three of the four possible victories and is now ranked No. 19 in the latest ACHA Mens Division-I rankings.

    Despite the strong start, Rene and the group have taken an approach of weeding out a fixa-tion on statistics and individual rankings, and replacing it with team values.

    Ive tried to make it a point for mental prepa-ration, to play every game like its sudden death facing elimination, Rene said.

    Going forward, the team hopes to win league games and make program history.

    Its pretty exciting because weve seen the program grow from a team that used to kind of get walked over to now being a very formidable opponent, and a team thats look-ing to make noise and go to nationals this year, Suskind said.

    It's a team that would make Carlston proud. And before each home game the rest of the way, players will continue to tap the picture of Carlston and draw inspiration from the No. 1 jersey that hangs on the Syracuse bench.

    Said Hebert: "His presence is always visible."[email protected]

    SUs 2nd line develops chemistry, provides boost on offense

    sam maller | asst. photo editor

    MELISSA PIACENTINI and Syracuses green line have been SUs most dynamic line. The line, which also includes Shiann Darkangelo and Laurie Kingsbury, scored four goals in two games this past weekend, three of which were assisted by a linemate.

    By Jacob KlingerASST. COPY EDITOR

    Some teams live and die by their top forward line. Their best attackers suffer through long, frequent shifts due to a lack of talent, chemistry and trust in the teams depth.

    Not so for Syracuse. The second, or green, line of Shiann Darkangelo, Laurie Kingsbury and Melissa Piacentini has actually outscored the teams first-shift attack in full-strength play. When head coach Paul Flanagan talks about his second-liners he consistently comes back to one word: dynamic.

    That green line, its dynamic, Flanagan said. If Laurie Kingsbury goes down the wall they either got to shes either going to get by them or they got to take a penalty; they cant stop her.

    But SUs second forward line is built around more than Kingsburys physical dominance. The lefty Darkangelo skates the middle of the ice where she has a natural passing lane to connect with Kingsbury on the left wing. Mean-while the 5-foot-2-inch Piacentini Kingsbury is 5 feet 10 inches tall and Darkangelo is 5 feet 9 inches tall slips into dangerous positions on the break as well as a set offense. Her forechecks pester, creating chaos and preventing oppo-nents from exposing the Orange (3-3, 2-0 College Hockey America) on line changes.

    The linemates take time for each other away from hockey too. Over regularly shared meals and similar personalities they sharpen their chemistry on the ice.

    They always give advice and theyre always looking out for teammates, Piacentini said.

    Piacentini more than holds her own, and the towering Kingsbury hardly hesitates to join dead-puck skirmishes.

    The line is constantly talking about what shots to take and passes to make, yet a collective innate vision for the game chiefly binds the unit together.

    I think theres just good chemistry and we can read off of each other, and when one of us goes the other can kind of and (Piacentini) she has a good sense of the ice, so she can also read out for both of us, Darkangelo said.

    Early season games can be marred by missed connections, sloppy passes and disjointed play. But when Syracuses green line takes the ice, this simply is not the case. Both Northeast-ern and Quinnipiac skated their featured lines for heavy minutes, while the Orange switched between its top two to keep the team fresh.

    A 4-0 first-period shellacking by NU largely put the game out of reach, but SU won the final two periods 2-1 against a heavy-legged squad. After falling to Quinnipiac 4-3 in overtime on Friday, the Orange made the Bobcats pay for their over-reliance on the top line featuring leading scorer Kelly Babstock.

    It obviously gives you that kind of one-two punch that maybe we havent had in the past, so we can have that second line come out and be able to be every bit as good or better on certain nights than the first line, Flangan said. Obviously teams have to adjust to that and they have to take note that obviously were not just a one-line team.

    SU has scored 21 goals this season. The green line has scored 10 of them. The group scored four goals last weekend, and all but one of them was assisted by a linemate.

    The line also represents the future of Orange hockey. Kingsbury and Piacentini are freshmen and Darkangelo is a sophomore. Off the ice, the trio is generally laid back. Energetic, but relaxed. When they walk through the doors of Tennity Ice Pavilion, they enter pregame mode. And when they take the ice they are an all-action blur.

    Theres an added degree of abandon in the green lines play. Whether its in physical alter-cations, fast breaks or simply the way the play-ers skate, its changing the 5-year-old program.

    A lot of girls talk about the history of the program, the ones that have been here for a long time and just how when they started it was a new program and teams kind of looked at them like Oh theyre Syracuse, Piacentini said. But now I think the older kids are teaching the younger kids that they want to transform the program into like Oh, its Syracuse, this is a big game.

    By Kevin PriseSTAFF WRITER

    When Teddy Bridgewater took the field with just more than three minutes remaining in Saturdays game, Louisvilles blemish-free record was on the line. Down by four to South Florida, Bridgewaters Cardinals needed a quick touchdown drive to get to 7-0 and stay nationally relevant.

    Mission accomplished. Bridgewater calmly guided the Cardinals on a 75-yard touchdown drive that took just 1:34. No. 16 Louisville remained undefeated.

    We had to rally from behind there, Louis-ville head coach Charlie Strong said during the Big East coaches teleconference on Monday. Teddy Bridgewater did a great job of just tak-ing our offense down the field. We had to protect our quarterback and just let him make the throws, and Teddy made some big throws.

    Saturdays game was another positive note in Bridgewaters sophomore campaign, which has been marked by high efficiency and poise. The 6-foot-3-inch quarterback is completing 73.4 percent of his passes this season, good for third in the nation, and has led the Cardinals to a series of close victories in the 7-0 start.

    Despite a successful freshman season where he completed 64.5 percent of his passes during a 7-6 season, Bridgewater saw room for improvement for 2012. Even though his completion percentage ranked 29th in the country, he threw 12 intercep-tions, including a three-interception performance against North Carolina State in the Belk Bowl.

    Last year, when he took over as the quarter-back, he knew he had a lot of learning (to do), Strong said. He really needed to study the game,

    and study the defenses and study the coverages.Understanding the value of acquiring foot-

    ball knowledge, he devoted the offseason to analyzing film and immersing himself in the nuances of the game.

    So far, the results have paid off. Bridgewater has thrown for 11 touchdowns and only three interceptions in 2012, while raising his comple-tion percentage by 8.9 percent.

    Thats what he did over the spring and over the summer, Strong said. He put in the work and he wanted to learn more football. Going through the camp, he just made himself a better football player.

    He put his work to use against South Flor-ida. Bridgewater went 5-for-7 for 64 yards on the game-deciding drive while contributing an 11-yard run. The drive culminated when Bridgewater connected with Eli Rogers for an 11-yard score that gave Louisville a 27-25 advantage. South Florida couldnt get into field-goal range on its final drive.

    Although Bridgewaters success in 2012 has been pronounced, he makes sure to remember that he cant do it alone, Strong said. An offense can be hindered by poor performance in any facet quarterback play, running game, receiv-ers or the line. The Louisville offense has done its part to help Bridgewaters game shine.

    Also key is that he gives his teammates a lot of credit, Strong said. He knows that when his offensive line protects him and his receivers make the catches, hes able to stand in there and make the throws and have the success that he has.

    Louisvilles next challenge in staying unde-feated is Cincinnati, which opened the season

    with five consecutive wins before falling at Toledo last Saturday. Cincinnatis defense has started strong, holding four of six opponents to 17 points or less, and could pose a difficult matchup for Bridgewater.

    Bearcats head coach Butch Jones regards Bridgewater as an intelligent player and doesnt expect him to make many careless mistakes.

    When you look at Teddy Bridgewater, I think you see a disciplined quarterback, Jones said. Hes a quarterback that doesnt put his team in negative situations. He knows where hes going with the football on every snap, and he takes care of the football.

    Jones feels the chance to start as a true fresh-man put Bridgewater ahead of the curve imme-diately. Although he suffered some growing pains, he learned on the job what was necessary to succeed in the Big East.

    Bridgewater is a veteran now, despite being only a sophomore. When he executes a late-game rally like he did against USF, people take notice.

    We always talk about the quarterback being the alpha male out there, and you can tell he runs the Louisville offense, Jones said. I know his players really believe in him, leading them in some come-from-behind victories. The mark of a great quarterback is to lead your team from behind in a one-minute drill.

    Regardless of how 2012 shakes out, Bridge-water has two more seasons to hone his craft before graduation.

    If he can keep it up, Jones expects the NFL to call soon enough.

    Hes a high-vision quarterback, Jones said. He can scramble and make a run and make

    a play, but hes always looking up for the open receiver as well. I think hes an NFL-caliber quarterback.Game to WatchKent State at Rutgers, Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

    Rutgers returns home from a successful trip to Temple and now puts its undefeated record on the line against Kent State of the Mid-American Conference. The Scarlet Knights exploded for 35 second-half points in their 35-10 victory over the Owls, and will need to maintain the tempo against the Golden Flashes.

    Kent State carries a 6-1 record 4-0 in the MAC into the contest and has scored 41 or more points in three of its last four contests. The matchup between the stingy Rutgers defense and the explosive Kent offense should be inter-esting.

    Cincinnati suffered its first loss of 2012 to MAC foe Toledo last week, and Rutgers could suffer a similar surprise without a strong effort.Legaux struggles

    Assuming the challenge of replacing the graduated Zach Collaros, Cincinnati junior quarterback Munchie Legaux has suffered through stretches of poor play despite his teams 5-1 start. Legaux has had trouble finding open receivers and is completing only 53.3 percent of his passes in 2012.

    In the loss at Toledo, Legaux went 15-for-36 with a touchdown and two interceptions. Despite the poor performance, head coach Butch Jones remained committed to his quar-terback when questioned on Mondays Big East conference call.

    Despite wealth of talent, South Floridas futility in Big East continuesBy Nick Toney

    STAFF WRITER

    The South Florida defense is stacked with top Florida talent. Breakout receiver Andre Davis is a Mohamed Sanu clone that looks primed for the NFL. And just over a year ago, quar-terback B.J. Daniels toyed with Doug Marrones team on its own home turf.

    If you ask Marrone, the roster of Syra-cuses next opponent speaks for itself.

    They have the ability to beat every team they play, Marrone said during the Big East coaches teleconference on Monday. I just see a lot of talent on the field, but theyre not catching the kind of breaks out there.

    It has to be more than just bad luck by now. Despite its talent, South Florida is 2-5. The team has lost each of its three Big East conference games during its current five-game slide. And of its last 11 conference games, the Bulls have won only once.

    Its been five seasons since the Bulls posted a winning record in Big East play. In 2007, Matt Grothe was USFs quarterback. Jim Leavitt was USFs head coach. And for one week during that season, the Bulls were ranked No. 2 in the Bowl Champion-ship Series poll, right behind even-tual runner-up Ohio State.

    This years USF team is nowhere

    near the annual powers of college football. Picked to finish second in the Big Easts preseason poll, the Bulls have dropped crushing games to Ball State and Temple after a quick 2-0 start to the season. They havent won a game since Sept. 8 at Nevada.

    Head coach Skip Holtz thought that streak was about to change last week-end. On the road against No. 16 Louis-ville, Holtz saw running back Lindsey Lamar find lanes against a stout rush-ing defense. Daniels threw the third of his three second-half touchdown passes and Holtz began to hope that his defense could hold on for a much-needed win.

    It didnt. A 75-yard drive sparked

    by a personal foul on cornerback Kay-von Webster let the Cardinals reclaim the lead for good and forced Holtz to start searching for answers.

    Five in a row, Holtz said with a laugh during the coaches teleconfer-ence. Somebody else might have to answer that question.

    Holtz can answer it himself by tak-ing a look at his defense. He said his secondary is porous and mistake prone.
