Syracuse center DaJuan Coleman will undergo season-ending surgery on his left knee.
After starting the first 12 games for the No. 2 Orange, the sophomore said he bruised the side of his left knee during practice and was lim-ited to only six minutes in the team’s 78-62 win over Villanova on Dec. 28.
Since then, Coleman has not start-ed the Orange’s last six games, only seeing the floor for three minutes in

Snow flurries drifted around the Car-rier Dome Monday night, settling in piles on a ledge above Gate E of the stadium. Further down, past a green “Boeheimberg” sign and a thermom-eter, four tents sat on the cold con-crete in front of the gate’s entrance.
Although temperatures are expected to dip into single digits through Thursday, Syracuse Univer-sity students camping outside the Dome try not to think about it.
“What I have decided is; if you don’t look at the forecast, it doesn’t exist,” said Brad Slavin, Otto’s Army communications officer.
Students began camping Sunday night to vie for the best seats at the men’s basketball game against Duke

Stories. Everyone has them. Freeman Hrabowski III shared a few powerful sto-ries to almost 2,000 people in the Carrier
Dome on Sunday.When he was 12, he was thrown in jail for
peacefully marching with Martin Luther King Jr. in his hometown of Birmingham, Ala.
At the age of 19, he graduated from college, and went on to earn both a master’s and Ph.D before the age of 25.
In 2012, he was named by President Barack Obama to chair the President’s Advisory Com-mission on Educational Excellence for African Americans. Time magazine also named him one of the most influential people in the world.
Hrabowski, president of the University of Maryland Baltimore County, spoke to the Syracuse University community at the 29th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. With the theme of “Pursuing the Dream: Above All Odds,” Hrabowski shared two sto-ries emphasizing the power of education.
With the upbeat melody of Ray Charles’ rendition of “Country Roads” in the back-
ground, SU students, local residents and com-munity leaders all sat together.
Representative Dan Maffei (D-Syracuse) and Chancellor Kent Syverud were also in attendance.
Chatter quickly came to a close as the lights dimmed and the sound from Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. brothers’ stepping echoed throughout the Dome. The fraternity brought a valuable significance to the event, as both King and Hrabowski were brothers.
Hrabowski was introduced by Syeisha Byrd, the chair of the 2014 MLK Celebration committee. Hrabowski, Byrd said, pursued his dream — and King’s dream — despite the violence, name-calling and threats he faced.
Hrabowski’s first story focused on him being distracted in church as a ninth grade student liv-ing in Birmingham, Ala. during the 1960s.
As he sat in the pew — with a pencil for math problems in one hand and peanut M&Ms in the other — he said he somewhat remembers listen-ing to the speaker.
But he was soon paying full attention when the man said, “And if the children decide to participate in this peaceful march, all of America will understand that even 10-year-olds want a good education and know the difference between right and wrong.”
This man was Martin Luther King, Jr. — and he inspired Hrabowski to take a stand and fight against racial inequality.
“I was tired of being told my school was not as good,” he said. “I was tired of hand-me-down books that were raggedy and white kids had used for years. And I wanted to know what it meant to get a great education because I loved school.”
Hrabowski’s excitement soon turned to fear. Even though he knew there would be dogs and fire hoses threatening him, he knew he had to go through with it.
“Now students, the lesson is this: Sometimes

Tattoos often carry deep meaning for those who decide to get them inked. For some, they’re used to cre-ate closure from events and aspects of their lives.
Ty Cothren, a computer science and computer art and animation major, created three tattoos for simi-lar reasons: one on his right thigh, one on his left bicep and one on his upper back.
“I think skin is like the ultimate canvas,” Cothren said.
The first piece on his right thigh was the African symbol gye nyame, meaning “except God.” The piece signifies the ties his Catholic high school had to its sister school in Ghana, where he spent countless hours helping to improve the educa-tion system.
In his freshman year of college, Cothren got the national soccer team’s version of the German nation-al eagle on his left bicep. It was a way of honoring both his German roots and his love of soccer.
Roughly a year later, he got a sweeping image of an angel tattooed
on the center of his upper back at Good Life Tattoos & Piercings in Akron, Ohio, to remember a close friend’s passing.
“My best friend from home died a week after I came back from college. I worked with him and only got to see him one last time between shift changes,” he said. “We were planning on hanging out the night he died.”
Cothren is an artist of many mediums. His back piece, a black ink outline of a sketch he drew himself, brings together two images — it jux-taposes a “divine being” with Shiva, the Hindu god, as well as robotic elements, with which he’s always been obsessed.
The piece, which took roughly two hours to ink, memorializes their friendship in a way that no other piece of art could.
He plans to eventually get the piece completely filled in, but sees the importance in giving tattoos time to materialize on their own in his mind, describing that he wants to wait until “it seems right.”
“He was the closest thing to an older brother I’ve ever had,” Cothren said about his friend.

Construction is on schedule for a new student living facility downtown, with an expected unveiling this August.
Formerly a vacant office, Creekwalk Commons will be transformed into a four-story apartment building at 324 W. Water Street. The building is expect-ed to house 146 residents — including students from any of the area’s colleges and universities. It will also include a fitness center, several study rooms and about 8,000 square feet of commercial space on the first floor.
The building used to house Nation-al Grid offices and a customer service center, but became vacant in 2010, said Charlie Breuer, one of the building’s owners and project manager for Hue-ber-Breuer Construction Company.
“There is a lot of office space available downtown, so it’s a pretty saturated market,” Breuer said.
He added that the idea to reno-vate the building into student hous-ing surfaced roughly two years ago.
Breuer said living downtown gives students an “urban living experience.”
“With some of our prior expe-
rience with student housing, we thought it would be a good fit (down-town),” Breuer said.
Construction on the apartments began in October. Currently, the second and third floor apartments are completely framed out, and the fourth floor has to be added to the building, Breuer said.
The building will mostly hold two-bedroom apartments but will also include studio apartments, one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom suites, said Linda Charles, vice president of management for Sutton Real Estate. All apartments will be fully furnished.
Charles added that leases are 11.5 months and range from $1,050 to $1,250 per person, which includes utilities, basic cable and Internet. The company is currently accepting leasing applica-tions for the 2014-2015 school year.
Linda Hartsock, director of the office of community engagement and development at SU, said the building is close to the Warehouse and near the Student Sandbox.
In addition, the location will be con-venient for students who work down-town or on the Near West Side because
it will give them a chance to go home to study and sleep, Hartsock said.
Creekwalk Commons’ proximity to the Connective Corridor would allow students free transportation to and from campus as well, she said.
“At the Student Sandbox, students are working there and living there all semester long,” Hartsock said. “It was not uncommon for me to come in in the morning to see people sleeping on couches.”
Hartsock also said the housing will give the apartment residents a
chance to interact with the down-town community.
“I think students enjoy being part of Armory Square — the restaurants, the shopping, the nightlife,” she said.
Hartsock said she hopes students in that location will spur additional interest from area business owners in the Connective Corridor.
Breuer said Creekwalk Commons brings a different crowd to downtown.
Said Breuer: “Everyone’s excited for it to be happening.”

I don’t tend to buy into the can-do-no-wrong attitude surrounding Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, but I can’t argue with the
superstar’s most recent feminist move. Penning three paragraphs titled “Gender
Equality is a Myth!” for the recently released Shriver Report, Knowles-Carter uses her star power responsibly by calling attention to a delicate point — male participation is critical for the success of feminist goals.
The Shriver Report in partnership with the Center for American Progress released “A Woman’s Nation Pushes Back From the Brink,” an extensive journalistic investigation into financial insecurity among American women and its effect on families and institutions.
Citing payroll disparities to prove that gen-der equality does not yet exist in the U.S., the celebrity demands, “Unless women and men both say this is unacceptable, things will not change. Men have to demand that their wives, daughters, mothers and sisters earn more — commensurate with their qualifications and
not their gender.”Although the overall report addresses
concerning statistics about the lopsided percentage of American women struggling in minimum wage jobs, I don’t think it’s neces-sarily bad that Knowles-Carter’s brief essay seems to be overshadowing the book-length investigation in terms of attention online and through social media.
Her point is independently important.Attracting men to feminist circles becomes
particularly sensitive in a society where the term “feminist” carries a negative connota-tion and where notable women have denied being feminist on grounds of as shaky as their not-hatred for men or their lack of anger about the issue.
In fact, only 16 percent of men and 23
percent of women identified as feminist in the Huffington Post’s and YouGov’s April 2013 poll of 1,000 adults.
But equal percentages of men and women comprised the 82 percent of respondents who claimed to believe that “men and women should be social, political and economic equals” — oth-erwise known as the definition of feminism.
So if root beliefs aren’t where the problem lies, why aren’t more men championing the feminist cause?
Feminism’s mistaken characteristic of hatred toward men and its perceived goal of women dominating — rather than reaching — men on social, political and economic levels is an excuse. But it’s not a good one.
Neither is the belief that feminist goals align strictly with women’s issues. In reality, the political, social and economic equality between males and females can benefit both genders.
It’s more than time to put aside inaccurate stereotypes and negative connotations sur-rounding feminism and start moving toward
gender equality as a united front. This starts with an end to sensationalizing individual femi-nists’ radical or anti-male views and recogniz-ing feminism as an effort for gender equality.
If gender equality is not a divisive issue, then feminism should not be either.
Feminism needs men in the same way that feminism needs women — as advocates of equality and agents of change. Gender equality cannot be accomplished with the participation of just the female half of the population, as Knowles-Carter notably points out.
“We have to teach our boys the rules of equality and respect, so that as they grow up, gender equality becomes a natural way of life,” she writes. “And we have to teach our girls that they can reach as high as humanly possible.”
Gender equality is feminism — and it’s not just a women’s struggle.

I am responding with a clarification to the editori-al entitled “Bird Library security changes protect students,” published in the Jan. 16 issue.
The rationale for the libraries’ decision to keep only the Waverly Avenue entrance to Bird Library open after 8 p.m. was based upon information provided by several Uni-versity departments, including the Depart-
ment of Public Safety. From them, we learned that we are
required to keep the Waverly Avenue entrance open for emergency response units (police, fire, ambulance, etc.) that may need immedi-ate access to the Bird facility.
If needed, those units — whether from the University, the City of Syracuse, or Onon-
daga County — will arrive on the scene from Waverly Avenue, a public street, rather than University Place, which is not.
Therefore, in order to provide a more secure building by instituting the single entrance protocol from 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., while simultaneously allowing emergency units to access Bird when necessary, the
Waverly entrance must remain accessible. In case of emergency, Bird Library occu-
pants can exit from both the Waverly Avenue and University Place sides at all hours the building is open.

Before a proposal for a new athletic facility comes to fruition, govern-ment and university officials must be more transparent with the proj-ect’s details.
For a project of such size, details matter.
Onondoga County Executive Joanie Mahoney recently convinced Gov. Andrew Cuomo to provide 200 million dollars in state money for a sports stadium on the site of the demolished Kennedy Square
public housing project. Last week, Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner asked for details regarding the facility, including where it would be built, how it would be financed and whether the land would be subject to property taxes.
These basic questions have not yet been outlined.
Fortunately, Cuomo announced Friday that the proposal was not yet ready to move forward.
It is irresponsible of university
and city officials to not clearly com-municate the logistics of a project of such scale as an athletic stadium. Although the project is exciting, Miner was rightfully skeptical of the details for this major initiative.
A drawing of the proposed sta-dium highlights the rapid pace at which the proposal was moving.
Miner proved the lack of detail surrounding the stadium by questioning its basic financial characteristics. The project should
not be initiated if university and city officials are unable to provide answers to the key details such as how the facility will be financed and its property tax.
The future of the Dome is also a detail that requires attention.
The facility’s future falls into question with the recently pro-posed stadium.
The Dome’s presence should be important to officials, as it is a landmark for both the city and the
university. If built, a new facility could replace the iconic structure. This alone could be unsettling for students and members of the city. If the project progresses, city and SU officials should improve upon their communication and transparency with the public so they can better understand the decision.
Without this, the stadium, meant for recreation and SU fandom, could turn into a point of great contention.

“This semester I will start the Reform phase of my three-phase plan. I plan on creating two committees within the Student Association (Committee on Budget and Leadership Development Committee). These two committees will bring more transparency and accountability to members of the association. I also plan on having an Assembly retreat to enhance the focus among members. Along this I want members of the association to work on tangible/realistic ini-
tiatives. I plan on having more co-sponsor events with different organization. Furthermore, we will continue providing student services such as the New York Times Readership program, and Thanks-giving and Spring-break buses. My goal is to make sure that every single facet of SU is represented and it start by attending and talking to as many organization and students as possible.”
Boris Gresely president
“For the first time in Syracuse University and Student Association’s history I have the privilege to be the first vice-president elect. I ran on a platform with my running mate Boris Gresely in which we plan to Reform, Reconnect, and Redirect Student Association. Over the past few years the role of the vice-president has been to be the liaison between assembly representatives and the cabinet. However I plan to
go above and beyond this traditional role. I hope to bridge the gap between various ethnic groups on campus as well as between students and faculty. I intend to reach full represen-tation in the SA General Assembly. Most importantly, I plan on solving issues that affect students on a daily basis. I am excited for what the future holds ahead!”
Daniela Lopez vice president
“As Director of Technology, my main responsibility is keeping the Student Government website cur-rent with updates and incorporating new initiatives through working with the Director of Public Rela-tions. I will work to keep the student body informed on all issues surrounding the university and informa-tion technology. I plan to strengthen the communica-
tion between student interest and ITS. I will accomplish this by attending meetings within the university dealing with information technology, con-sulting students for their interest and using my knowledge and experi-ence in information technology. I will work to bring change by proposing legislation and implementing initiatives that relate to better serving the student body’s technology needs.”
Brittany Mooredirector of technology
“I’m very excited about the Student Engage-ment Committee chair opportunity. I hope to make SEC a very collaborative and goal-oriented committee this session, where mem-bers drive the direction of initiatives and those initiatives are successfully completed. I hope to direct the focus towards garnering student
opinion to show research-based claims in order to pave the way for stronger solutions in all four committees. I hope to continue the committee’s role as the liaison between SA and the student body while incorporating quantitative data into our endeavors to help assess progress and set realistic goals for the future.”
Sawyer Cresap director of student engagement
“I plan on working with transfer students and the Office of First Year and Transfer Programs to help ease the transition to student life at Syracuse. I also wish to work towards making our bi-weekly Wegmans and Target shuttles and transportation services to RTC and the Airport during breaks run more efficiently and make
sure that they are used to their maximum potential. At the end of the day, I really want to reach out the student population and hear what they want to help improve their student life, because that’s my job.”
Aysha Seedat director of student life
“As Director of Communications, it’s my respon-sibility to ensure that Student Association is known on campus. Student Association is an organization by students and for students. I will make it my duty this semester to improve stu-dent body access to what Student Association does behind the scenes, re-brand Student Asso-
ciation’s image as a true resource for students and increase Student Association’s presence in student run media. My ultimate goal is to educate the students on what Student Association can do for them.”
Anna Giles director of communications
“My goal for the coming semester is to translate good intentions into good actions. There are hard-working members in SA, devoted leaders and a lot of work being done, but often stu-dents don’t see it in their everyday lives. When students come home at night, after a day of classes, work and internships, they should be
able to identify at least one thing that SA did for them during the day. Students don’t expect SA to solve all of their problems, but I do think that many sense there is a role for SA to play.”
Kyle Coleman chief of staff
“As Director of Academic Affairs, I hope to reenergize the committee. I hope to see long-lasting results of all initiatives, as well tackle issues that are of great concern to the student body. Additionally, I hope to find a solution con-cerning college advising, in addition to working with administration to create a better atmo-
sphere for all SU students.”

University on Feb. 1. The first groups of four arrived around 9 p.m., when Otto’s army, the Syracuse student section organization, held a lottery to determine positioning.
Otto’s Army president Ben Glidden said the 13-day camping period leading up to the Orange’s first Atlantic Coast Conference game against Duke makes it the section’s longest student camp out. ESPN’s College Gameday program will also
be on campus before the game. “We’ve never really had a campout of this
magnitude before,” Glidden said. Scheduling and demand contributed to the
length of the campout, Glidden said. Students can start camping out three hours after the previous home game, which was on Satur-day against Pitt. SU’s Martin Luther King, Jr. event in the Dome Sunday pushed the start of camping back to Sunday night, Slavin said.
Glidden expects that more than 1,000 of the roughly 5,000 students attending the game
will camp out. Otto’s Army rules dictate that one student must stay in a tent at all times or the group gets sent to the back of the line.
Chris Libonati, a freshman newspaper and online journalism and policy studies major, stayed in his group’s tent Monday overnight.
Libonati said he is comfortable living in a tent if it leads to prime seating at the Duke game.
Said Libonati, “I’d say it’s completely worth it, but I definitely understand the reservations some people have.”
when people do courageous things, it is not really that they are courageous. It is that they feel they have no choice, but to do what they have to do,” Hrabowski said.
But during the time of the march, Hrabowski described himself to be a “fat little math nerd.”
“The only thing I ever attacked was a math prob-lem,” he said. “But I was determined to do this.”
Because of the march, Hrabowski spent the weekend in jail. But it’s an experience he said he would never forget.
“The message tonight is this — the values that we hold, will shape not only who we are today, but who we will be in the future,” he said.
Tiffany Steinwert, the dean of Hendricks Chapel, said she was inspired by Hrabowski’s reasons for why people do courageous things.
“What Dr. Hrabowski really highlighted in that moment was that we do courageous things all the time because we have to. And what we need to do now as a community, as a university, is to begin to think about what are those places that we have to,” Steinwert said.
The difference between 1963 and 2014, Hrabowski said, is that if one has been edu-
cated, no matter his or her race, all kinds of opportunities are available.
Hrabowski highlighted this idea with a story of a UMBC student from inner city Baltimore studying Russian culture and language.
When he met this student, Hrabowski said he asked about his family. The student replied that he didn’t have one; he was a ward of the state. At the age of 13, the student was left to fend for himself in a crack house.
This student knew the only way to get out of poverty was through education, Hrabowski said.
The student went on to become a Fulbright Scholar, earned a graduate degree from Princeton University and now works at the State Department.
Joseph Bryant, board president of the Southside Community Coalition, a nonprofit organization that works to revitalize parts of Syracuse’s South Side, said he thought Hrabowski’s speech was empowering.
“I think it hit on two points,” Bryant said after the speech. “One, always dream. And then you need to be educated to create opportunities in this world.”
Bryant was also one of the four recipients of the Unsung Hero Award, which is annually pre-sented to members of the Syracuse community.
Other recipients included Debra Person, the founder and executive director of Exodus 3 Min-
istries, a faith-based nonprofit organization for women in need; Georgia Popoff, a resident of the East neighborhood and is active in different arts programs in Syracuse; and Dorothy Russell — also known as “Dottie from the Schine” — who has spent her entire career in SU Food Services.
At some points, the crowd was so moved by Hrabowski’s stories that they almost drowned his words with applause.
“Students, with all of the problems you may have, with all of the challenges you may see, when you know there is somebody who cares about you — that is a strength you can always rely on,” Hrabowski said. “Syracuse you are a very special place, but you can be even better.”

A Syracuse University professor is working to create a both never before seen and never before heard art exhibit, featuring artwork and music from the Italian Renaissance era.
Gary Radke, a humanities professor at Syracuse University, has been working to create a monumental exhibit that will begin this October at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
Marble panels from the Renaissance, originally created for the Florence Cathedral in 1431, will voyage from across the Atlantic for the first time ever for this exhibit. The “Cantoria” panels are made by Italian Renaissance art-ist, Luca della Robbia.
“Luca della Robbia’s stunning ‘Cantoria’ was created to be surrounded by music and we are happy to have the opportunity to return the ‘Cantoria’ to that setting,” according to a press release from the High Museum of Art. “We look forward to partnering with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to bring our audiences a multisensory experience that celebrates art in its many forms.”
In addition to the panels, the exhibit will also feature choir books from the archives of the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo in Florence as well as the original walnut lectern from the Florence baptistery that was used to hold them.
The “Cantoria” panels were among some of della Robbia’s earlier com-missioned works. They depict youth-ful smiling children singing, dancing and playing instruments in joyous celebration. Radke said he chose these panels because of the attracting and engaging images and its detailed anecdotal features.
Setting this exhibit apart from others is the pairing of art with music from the same era. This was no new concept for Radke, though, who has taught art and music history since 1980.
“There are no limits to what we can dream up, I just don’t always take yes for yes and no for no,” Radke said.
The department of art and music at SU is well recognized for its inter-disciplinary approach to the study of the arts. Radke in particular has com-bined an interest in music with a career in the history of art, specifically the Italian Renaissance.
Radke’s interest in Renaissance art goes back to his undergrad years, when he spent a semester abroad in what some call the “art capital” of the world — Florence, Italy. It was right after a major flood in the city and he said he was
inspired by the major restoration process to preserve the arts.Since then, he has studied, taught and worked on various exhibits involv-
ing Italian Renaissance art and has had many opportunities to establish friendships and connections with people both in Italy and the United States. In the past, he has worked on exhibits that focus on bringing other works of art from Florence to the American public, including works from Michelangelo and Verrocchio.
The choir books, roughly three by five feet when opened, have not been on display before — only moving in and out of archives — making them items that would have been nearly impossible to see in a museum in Florence, let alone in the U.S., Radke said. To complete the experience, Radke and his team are also working to develop a way to hear recordings of the music writ-ten in the books.
The idea is to have it similar to a choir experience. A choir would have gathered in front of the books to sing, a group of people at the museum will gather in front of each book and hear what would have been heard roughly 500 years ago.
Marci Tate, a representative from the museum, said the intention was to bring the panel back into the musical environment for which they were created.
“At the High, we like to bring world class exhibitions to the Atlanta area,”

The goal is to make it look easy, effortless and elegant; a good design will never reveal how difficult it was to put together.”Gary Radkesu humanities professor
By Joe Infantinofeature editor
Instead of attending class, five Syracuse University students spent the first week of the semes-ter touring Qatar and pitching an ad campaign to a panel of 2022 FIFA World Cup executives.
On Jan. 16, members of The NewHouse, a student-run adver-tising agency at SU, won first place at the Qatar 2022 Women’s Soccer Challenge advertising competi-tion. Elements from their cam-paign, along with some from the second and third place finishing teams, will be used to encourage Qatari girls, ages 6-14, to play soccer. EdVenture Partners, a student-marketing accelerator, managed the competition with the Centre for Integrated Marketing Communications at San Diego State University.
The winning campaign, “Find it in Football,” is a multiplatform marketing experience that pro-motes the physical and mental benefits of the sport, while high-lighting its ability to connect people cross-culturally through confidence, teamwork and family.
“We call it a human truth,” said Bryan Chin-Yu Chou, account manager and senior advertising major. “We believe that passion grows organically through play-ing football. You become depen-dent on your teammates; you grow to love your coach, the sport and the people you play with. And that is beyond language, religion and culture.”
The three finalists — from an original pool of 33 teams — were notified on Christmas Eve. From that point, up until the minutes
photo by james saulsky
preceding the final presentations, teams were allowed to edit their campaigns.
The NewHouse team only made a few very small changes during the four days leading up to the live pitch after traveling more than 1000 miles to Doha, Qatar — nearly missing a con-necting flight in Germany.
They didn’t feel a need to alter their cam-paign much. After months of preparation, the teammates said they had an air of confidence among them.
As they toured the city, they made mental notes of ideal locations for their advertisements — helpful details when presenting to the judges.
One of the team’s ideas was to place two billboards on opposite sides of a road. Each would play a video loop of a player kicking a ball off screen. Appearing as though the two athletes were passing the ball back and forth.
“Seeing everything and being there really affirmed our campaign,” said Kaitlyn Frobo-ese, a creative on the team and senior advertis-ing major. “We realized that a lot of their goals aligned with what we had set up.”
Before everything came together, though, the team worked all through winter break, developing mockups and rationales. Froboese said her family was annoyed that she worked all day on Christmas.
But neither holidays nor different time zones got in the way. Of the five teammates, two operated from the East Coast, one in Texas, another in California and a fifth from South Africa.
“It was nice to finally come together and see what we had been working on over break,” said Melanie Holohan, the team’s research
director and a senior advertising major. “It was
a confirmation.”They had only their speaking parts to polish
while in Qatar. The rest of their time was spent touring the extravagances of the city.
Each team took part in various activities, including a trip to the Museum of Islamic Art, a desert safari and a tour of Aspire Academy for Sports Excellence — a hub for the most promis-ing young male athletes in Qatar.
Additionally, participants were housed in private rooms at the W Doha Hotel, served complimentary three-course meals and sailed around the city in Dhow boats. Holohan said she suspected the five-star treatment was to show that the Qatari lifestyle could adapt to different cultures.
“They used us as kind of ambassadors for their culture,” Holohan said. “They want to make sure that when the World Cup comes around that people feel comfortable traveling there.”
Qatar won the bid for the 2022 World Cup in 2010 and started construction almost imme-diately. Though newly developed, Qatar has an estimated GDP per capita of $100,900 and as of 2012, an unemployment rate of 0.5 percent, according to the Central Intelligence Agency’s World Factbook.
The World Cup is part of Qatar’s plan to maintain that development and a high stan-dard of living, according to one of the Pillars of Qatar National Vision 2030. Its people are eager to present their country as a competitive nation among world leaders in sports.
The future of The NewHouse’s campaign lies in the hands of Qatar’s 2022 Supreme Com-mittee marketers, but it also seemed to align well with the Qatar National Vision. The five teammates, in fact, were approached after the competition and offered jobs after graduation in May, Bryan Chin-Yu Chou said.

qatarshe said. “This was of course a wonderful opportunity to do that, and these panels of the Canteria had not been seen in the U.S. before.”
One of Radke’s biggest challenges was to “create gallery space with quiet and seren-ity typical of museum, while also having the sound” of the music playing, he said. The viewer will only hear the music when standing directly in front of the artwork they are viewing, using speakers that are audible within only a certain distance.
“The goal is to make it look easy, effortless and elegant; a good design will never reveal how
difficult it was to put together,” Radke said.In addition to the recordings, there will
be a second music component — a series of performances from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Radke hopes to incorporate local school bands, gospel choirs and even rock bands that will all contribute to the exhibit’s title, “Make a Joyful Noise.” The music will also be included at the Detroit and New York locations.
The act of moving art from one place to another and presenting it with its full effect in historical context is not done solely by one person. Radke emphasizes that this is a team effort, one that is rooted in long-time friend-ships between people who are passionately dedicated to the arts.

Transgender Dysphoria BluesAgainst Me!
total trebel musicRelease date: Jan. 21
Top track: ”F*CKMYLIFE666”Rating: 3.5/5
Against the
currentBand becomes more open on issues after lead singer comes out as transgender
illustration by natalie riess art director
Jessica Cabestaff writer
The last line of “Bamboo Bomes,” a single off of Against Me!’s 2010 album “White Crosses” is shouted out defiantly by
singer and guitarist Laura Jane Grace: “What God doesn’t give to you, you’ve got to go out and get for yourself.”
And that’s what she did. The artist, born Thomas James Gabel, came out as transgender in 2012 and is currently transitioning. “Trans-gender Dysphoria Blues,” Against Me!’s sixth studio album, serves as a megaphone for every-thing the artist has bitten her tongue about for her entire life.
The sometimes graphic lyrics are strikingly honest and offer a window into Grace’s soul that has been bolted shut for the first decade and a half of the band’s existence. The album starts off with single “Transgender Dysphoria Blues,” a catchy pop-punk song about the daily internal struggles of a transgender woman: “You want them to notice, the ragged ends of your summer dress, you want them to see you, like they see every other girl,” Grace sings.
One pleasant surprise on the record is Grace’s newfound attention to melody. Against Me! has been characteristically unmelodic up to this point. It’s been a punk band that is more concerned with spitting out lyrics that chal-lenge authority than crafting catchy tunes.
Here, Grace has found a way to do both. She is still a defiant anarchist but she allows herself to be at least a little more vulnerable by singing more than screaming. This has been an ongoing development since the band’s 2007 major label debut, “New Wave,” but Grace has finally made it work by matching lyrical content to her vocal delivery.
While the band’s melodic development is
welcome and applauded, the music is still nothing spectacular.
Pop punk bands are notorious for being stuck somewhere outside the great, raw energy field of true punk music, leaving the listener nothing but fast power chords and mediocre vocals. A band like Against Me! has to have some pretty important stuff to say to make listening worthwhile. This time, Against Me! does.
“Transgender Dysphoria Blues” is fol-lowed by “True Trans Soul Rebel,” which features another infectious melody. The music is actually upbeat, but the lyrics again illustrate the thoughts and feelings of a woman fighting to be outwardly who she is inwardly. With lines like, “You should’ve been a mother, you should’ve been a wife, you should’ve been gone from here years ago, you should be living a different life,” Grace candidly discusses what she’s been struggling with secretly all this time.
Another standout track is “Drinking with the Jocks,” which exhibits the band’s clas-
sic fast, raw and pissed off sound. The song is about Grace wanting to fit in with jocks, despite hating them. Almost anyone could relate to this. It’s a timeless tale of wanting the
cool kids to like you even when you don’t really understand why.
“Drinking with the Jocks” shows how little the band has changed since Grace began her transition. It would be easy to assume the lead singer coming out as transgender might significantly change the band’s dynamic or message, but it has really done the opposite: The message hasn’t changed, it’s just gained some specificity.
Fans who look back at Against Me!’s catalog may find some clues to Grace’s struggle, the most obvious appearing in “The Ocean” from “New Wave.” She sings, “If I could have chosen, I would have been born a woman, my mother once told me she would have named me Laura.”
But what you’ll also find is an understand-ing that Grace is fighting the same things on “Transgender Dysphoria Blues” that she’s been fighting since the band’s first album in 2002, “Reinventing Axl Rose.”
On that album’s closing track, “8 Full
Hours of Sleep,” Grace sings about shattering society’s lies and living in discomfort rather than blissful ignorance. The song is probably not about her gender identity, but that doesn’t really matter. It’s about finding the end to all kinds of inequality, all the ways society can make an individual feel somehow wrong. This is a common theme throughout the band’s career. The new album simply stops shrouding the message in vague metaphor and makes it more personal to the singer.
The best song on “Transgender Dysphoria Blues” is “F*CKMYLIFE666.” The lyrical content is still tinged with sadness, regret and discouragement. “Is your mother proud of your eyelashes, silicone chest and collagen lips? How would you even recognize me?” Grace sings.
But the music and melody are hopeful. It changes the way a listener hears the words. By the end of the song, you feel like Laura Jane Grace is going to be just fine.

Orange’s unquestioned star in the preseason. When Ennis played with Andrew Wiggins with CIA Bounce in the Amateur Athletic Union, it was Wiggins, not Ennis, who typi-cally stole the show.
“I’ve watched him for three years now and every time I’ve watched him,” McNamara said, “he’s made every player on the court a better basketball player.”
In the final moments on Saturday, it played to his benefit. Ennis is no longer a relative unknown — he’s a legitimate ACC Player of the Year and National Freshman of the Year candi-date — but he also has a plethora of options to distribute to.
Cooney went just 2-for-8 but he’s too dan-gerous when open to be left alone. Fair scored fewer points than Ennis, but is SU’s leading scorer for the season. Ennis doesn’t have the offensive reputation of the two, so the Panthers often left him one-on-one.
He just had to get his man off balance and
the help from the wings wouldn’t be quick enough to close in on him at the rim.
“You kind of just spread it out and let him go to work,” Cooney said. “If they’re going to try and take him away, he’ll make the right play and find the open guy, but you’ve got to cover every-one else and he made spectacular plays.”
For the opening 20 minutes on Saturday, though, Ennis was a non-factor offensively. He had just one assist and his two points came from a pair of free throws.
But he’s started slow before — particularly of late — and still managed to put together stand-out performances. He followed up a two-point first half against Boston College with a 10-point second and recovered from a handful of early turnovers to score 10 against North Carolina.
“You’ve never seen any intimidation when you look at him,” Fair said. “He always plays the same game no matter what the score is.”
Less than three minutes into the second half, Ennis was able to get himself going. He found his way to the heart of the defense, but got stuck in no-man’s land and twirled around. Somehow, the defense sagged off him and he pulled up for a mid-range jump shot.
Moments later, the talented two-way fresh-man grabbed a steal and found Cooney in transition for one of his two 3-pointers. Syra-cuse’s lead swelled to seven. The Orange led by as many as 10, but a barrage of 3s from Pittsburgh wing Lamar Patterson made it a struggle until the end.
There aren’t many freshmen that Boeheim could turn to at the end of the game when in need of a steadying presence and critical buck-et. He said Carmelo Anthony and McNamara were two. Ennis is another.
Said Boeheim: “He won the game down the stretch for us.”

difficult not to love him as a teammate.”During the team’s practice Friday, Ennis
and Jerami Grant paired up in competitive shooting drills. Twice, Ron Patterson had a chance to knock down a drill-winning shot, and twice, Ennis tried to spook his fellow freshman by yelling.
After practice ended, Ennis jogged over to the sideline to wrestle with assistant coach Mike Hopkins’ 12-year-old son Griff.
“Where have you been?” Ennis yelled as he wrapped his arms around Griff and they scrambled laughing onto the court.
Ennis hoisted up a shot with Griff draped over his back. Wide right.
“No easy buckets,” Griff joked.It may seem like a trivial moment, but it’s
one players said didn’t happen at the start of the year.
“He’s grown on us,” Grant said. “He’s grown to play around a little bit more and have fun. Not just be serious and all that.”
Family members and coaches agree it’s the same way he was at St. Benedict’s (Newark, N.J.) Prep School and the same way he is
around new friends. It just takes time to see “the real Tyler.”“He gets to know a person first,” his mother,
Suzette Ennis, said. “He’s really a joker.”During his last two years at St. Benedict’s,
Ennis grew close with assistant coach Bob Far-rell. So much so that Ennis would stay with the Farrells at their Point Pleasant Beach house off the New Jersey Shore during weekends without games.
Bob’s wife, Michelle, remembers the reserved Ennis she met. The one afraid to open the refrig-erator for study breaks and ask about laundry.
Most specifically, she remembers the first time Ennis sat down with the extended family for Sunday dinner.
Surrounded by 20 boisterous Italians, she asked him a question, but couldn’t hear his response.
“He had to repeat himself,” Michelle said, “and I finally just said, ‘If you want to stay here, you’re definitely going to have to speak up because nobody can hear you.’”
It didn’t take too long for Ennis to grow comfortable with the Farrells. As a senior, he turned the Gray Bees from a mediocre program to the No. 2 prep school in the state with a school-record 35 wins.
“He analyzes everything,” St. Benedict’s head coach Mark Taylor said. “If you ever watch Tyler from a distance, he’s not the guy that’s the loud one, but he sees everything that goes on.”
And now that Ennis has seen enough of the Syracuse program, he is truly comfortable. He’s ready to take the reins of the Syracuse offense at the end of games and carry the team into its first Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.
Maybe the Pitt game wasn’t the end of Ennis’ growth. Maybe it’s only beginning.

the team’s 72-52 win against Virginia Tech on Jan. 7.
“This is a tremendous disappointment, especially considering the amount of hard work DaJuan has been putting in with our basketball team,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said in a statement. “We will cer-tainly miss his contributions.”
Coleman was averaging 4.3 points and 4.2 rebounds per game this season. He missed eight games last season with an MCL injury to the same knee.
SU Athletics spokesman Pete Moore said Coleman’s injury this year is a bone bruise and is not believed to be related to the MCL issue.
Moore does not expect Coleman to be granted a medical redshirt. NCA A bylaw 14.2.4.3.4 states that to be eligible for a medical hardship waiver, a player cannot play in 30 percent of a team’s games and the injury must occur before the first competi-tion of the second half of the season in con-junction with the NCAA Tournament. Cole-man has played in 13 games this season.
Junior center Rakeem Christmas has filled in for Coleman in the middle of Syracuse’s 2-3 zone while sophomore for-ward Jerami Grant has started five of the last six games, posting 12 points and 7.8 rebounds in that span.

After a busy recruiting weekend, Syracuse added two defensive backs to its incoming recruiting class.
Three-star defensive back Treevon Prater verbally committed to Syracuse on Sunday. Then cornerback Juwan Dowels pledged the Orange on Monday night. Dowels isn’t ranked by Scout.com, but is listed a three-star recruit on Rivals.com.
At 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, Prater is listed
by Scout.com as a safety, cornerback and wide receiver, and by Rivals.com as an athlete.
Prater initially verbally committed to Western Michigan as a wide receiver, but recently reopened his commitment to consider offers from Syracuse, Kansas, Illinois State and Indiana State.
Dowels will join the Orange’s secondary in the fall. At 5-foot-10 inches and 160 pounds, he received offers from Clemson, Oklahoma and Cincinnati, among other top schools according to Scout.
The Orange now has five defensive backs committed for 2014, as these two recent sign-

In three of Syracuse’s road losses this season, it saw sizable second half leads evaporate into disheartening losses.
On Sunday, when a 13-point advantage was whittled to three, it appeared that the Orange was on track to suffer a similar fate.
This time, though, Syracuse (13-5, 2-3 Atlantic Coast) made the plays that it needed to in a 58-47 win over Pittsburgh (9-10, 1-4) at the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh. It marked the first ever ACC road win in program history.
“Down the stretch we did a better job rebounding, we did a better job knocking down shots,” SU head coach Quentin Hillsman said.
“We were able to get down the floor and into our offense, and got some shots.”
After an Ashlee Anderson long-range swish with 16:21 left put Pitt up six, it would be the last made field goal for the Panthers for nearly 10 minutes.
Nine minutes and 56 seconds later it was Anderson again, knocking down a jumper. This time though, it was to end a 19-2 Syracuse run

and a stretch of 13 straight missed Pitt shots.“We were getting solid possessions,” Hills-
man said. “We were getting shots. If we weren’t getting shots, then it would be a different story.”
Syracuse led by 12 going into the break, and by nine with just under six minutes remaining, but an 8-2 run brought the Panthers within three.
But when a Panthers inbound with 1:52 left went into the hands of Brianna Butler, who fed it to a cutting Brittney Sykes for an uncon-tested layup, Syracuse sealed the win.
“We need (Sykes) to score the basketball for us at the rim,” Hillsman said. “She’s done a really good job of doing that. Getting to the rim and getting opportunities.”
Sykes led the Orange with 15 points, which included a stretch of seven straight late in the second half. Taylor Ford and Briana Day both finished with double-doubles off the bench to lead a well-balanced Syracuse effort that fea-tured four players scoring in double figures.
Bria Day came in and collected five boards when Briana Day and Shakeya Leary were on the bench with foul trouble.
“Bria came in and played solid,” Hillsman said. “We didn’t have much of a drop-off with her in the game today. I thought she played really, really solid on the boards.”
Hillsman said getting off the first road confer-ence win is a big step and gives the Orange momen-tum heading into two home games this week.
“It’s important obviously,” Hillsman said. “We really wanted to start winning some road games. It was big for us. Now we can go home and take care of our home court. Then go back on the road and get some W’s there.”

3-star offensive tackle Ward says he is 50-50 between Syracuse, USF
Three-star offensive tackle Denzel Ward has narrowed his college decision to Syracuse and South Florida, he tweeted Sunday after spend-ing his weekend in Syracuse on his official visit.
“Just to let people know I’m 50/50 between Syracuse and USF,” Ward tweeted.
The tackle may have slightly tipped his hand Monday night, tweeting “It’s so weird that my top school’s head coach worked with my favor-ite NFL team coach, Coach Harbaugh. That’s a great coaching tree!”
When current San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh took the head-coaching job at Stanford in 2006, he hired Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer as his defensive coordinator.
Ward, who stands at 6-foot-8 and weighs 290 pounds, also received offers from Florida, Michi-gan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, UCLA and Wiscon-sin, among other schools according to Scout.com.
He attends Simeon Vocational High School in Chicago and is ranked the 79th best tackle of the class by Scout.
Ward would join two-star guard Aaron Rob-erts (Chicago) as the second offensive lineman in SU’s 2014 class. He’d also be the sixth player to verbally commit from Illinois, after Prater committed to SU on Sunday.

Lamar Patterson held his hands wide and stared down the Syracuse student section. He flexed and curled his arms in front of him, arched his head back and let out an incoherent roar.
The Pittsburgh senior forward had just drained his third 3-pointer in three posses-sions, bringing the Panthers back from 10 points down to just three with 13:09 to play.
The Orange tried to stretch its 2-3 zone. Instead, it snapped.
“They got momentum, we kind of stretched out more and that’s when they killed us on offensive rebounds,” Syracuse forward C.J. Fair said. “If we don’t let him get that, I think we can win this game easy.”
But for the still undefeated No. 2 Orange (18-0, 5-0 Atlantic Coast), its 59-54 win against No. 22 Pittsburgh (16-2, 4-1) in the Carrier Dome on Saturday was anything but easy down the stretch. The stout defense that held the Panthers to just 10-of-28 shooting through the first 25:43 lost control of Patterson. The man who missed five of his first seven shots forced SU’s guards to rise, opening up the high post and leaving the Orange back line exposed on the glass.
Syracuse escaped, thanks in part to the clutch play of freshman point guard Tyler Ennis, but Pitt senior center Talib Zanna and Co. gave the Orange all it could handle in the final minutes.
“It’s the first time that’s happened this year,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “We just didn’t rebound for a long stretch and it
could’ve cost us the game.“And it will cost us a game if we don’t cor-
rect that.”All it took for the Panthers to deny the Orange
its put-away run was three flicks of the wrist.First, Patterson answered an Ennis 3 with
a triple from the right wing. After a Rakeem Christmas jumper, Patterson connected closer to the top of the key. Then, following a Jerami Grant missed jumper, Patterson struck from the point.
The scoreboard blurred from 37-27 to 39-36 in 79 seconds. The 30,046 that filled the Car-rier Dome fell silent and the Panthers were all of a sudden within three.
“(Patterson)’s really worked hard,” Boeheim said. “He’s improved his shooting. I don’t remember him his freshman year being able to make a shot.”
Over the next 4:33, Pitt grabbed six of seven rebounds and rallied ahead to a 49-48 lead with 5:59 left.
The broad-shouldered Zanna dominated the paint during that span, scoring six of his 12 points and handling Christmas on the boards.
He played a large part in the Panthers scor-ing 19 second-chance points, 14 of which came in the second half.
“We just weren’t getting better position than them,” Christmas said.
As the minutes waned, the Orange contin-ued to have trouble rebounding. Even after Ennis’ go-ahead layup, Pitt guard Michael Young was left alone to snare a Patterson
missed 3-pointer with 1:14 to play.Then James Robinson hauled in another
Patterson missed 3 with five seconds left.The difference on those plays was that the
Panthers couldn’t capitalize. Rebounds deflect-ed out of bounds and in that last instance, Fair committed a foul to avoid another game-tying opportunity for Pitt.
But with Patterson at the line having missed his first of two free throws and the Orange leading 57-54 with three seconds left, Christmas grabbed arguably the biggest rebound of the game.
“I tried to get (Zanna) a little earlier than
normal and the ball didn’t come off real hard so I came down with it,” Christmas said.
For Syracuse, the scare serves as a lesson. If you leave a shooter open, a balanced team can tear your defense apart.
And there will be plenty more shooters to face during the ACC season.
Said Fair: “They made us work in the zone. You get used to playing that style and then you’re going to play other teams with that style.
“It kind of helps us out.”[email protected] | @Stephen_Bailey1

IN THE CLUTCH
The unflinching expression on Tyler Ennis’ face broke for maybe the first time in a game
this season.After 17 seconds of pure domi-
nance from the Syracuse backcourt — ending in a Trevor Cooney 3-pointer from the right wing — the coldblooded freshman point guard couldn’t help but smile as he turned his hips slightly and answered Cooney’s call for a chest bump.
It was a sign of comfort from the rising superstar viewed by many as emotionless.
In truth, those who know him best describe Ennis as goofy and playful; the kind of guy who’ll rag on his team-mates in practice and swap celebrity
imitations with his brothers. But also the kind of guy who won’t
be like that right away. It takes time.“He has to open up to you,” SU
junior center Rakeem Christmas said. “When he just got here, he wasn’t talking as much or laughing around a lot. Now that he knows us, he’s opened up a lot. Tyler’s a goofy kid.”
The apparent comfort has become very real during Ennis’ ascent from talented rookie to the nation’s most valuable freshman. His tangible rise
peaked on Saturday when he scored six points in the final 1:48 to almost singlehandedly deny then-No. 22 Pittsburgh its upset. His emotional growth has been apparent in the way he interacts with teammates and the subtle jokes he makes with the media after games.
Ennis is fully comfortable as a leader of the undefeated Orange, and more than just the cool, calm and collected rookie he appears to be on the surface.
“He’s fun to be around,” Syracuse assistant coach Gerry McNamara said. “People don’t realize he’s more outgoing than he appears to be and these guys love him. It’d be really

At this point, Tyler Ennis’ actions can’t surprise anybody. None of his teammates look at him as a freshman — they really haven’t all year. Trevor Cooney expects Syracuse to go to his backcourt mate for big plays. Jim Boeheim said the guard is as good at getting to the rim as anyone he’s seen.
There was never a doubt that Syr-acuse’s head coach could look to his freshman point guard for a critical play during a close game. Pittsburgh stops players from getting to the rim as well as anyone, but it couldn’t stop Ennis.
“He made some of the best plays I’ve seen in a long time,” Boeheim said.
Ennis darted through an off-bal-anced defense for a go-ahead scoop shot with less than two minutes remaining. Just over a minute later, he went with his left hand to end the No. 22 Panthers’ (16-2, 4-1 Atlantic Coast) upset bid and seal a 59-54 win for No. 2 Syracuse (18-0, 5-0) on Saturday in the Carrier Dome.
“They don’t let you get all the way to the rim,” Ennis said. “I got there once. I wasn’t really expecting to get it a second time.”
The guard, who led the Orange with 16 points, scored six of the SU’s final eight and kept Syracuse atop the ACC in front of a raucous 30,046 — the second largest crowd this year.
It was just the second time this season that Ennis led the Orange in scoring, but he’s been one of SU’s most reliable offensive weapons. Syracuse has other options but the freshman is the catalyst.
“From the moment I started to work with him,” assistant coach Gerry McNamara said, “I kind of got the feel-ing that he was a little bit different.”
McNamara is surprised at how often Ennis gets overlooked.
