teve St. Lucia has no plans to retire at 65. “Most people that I know, with the economic hit, have all delayed their retirement,” said St. Lucia, who graduated from Syracuse University in 1978 and is the current president and owner of Union Orthotics and Pedorthics. “I have little kids so I cannot see myself retiring any time soon, and I really don’t want to.” The first wave of baby boomers are turning 65 starting this year, and if the estimated 78 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964 retire at the normal age, an ample number of jobs may

or Kristi Andersen, being an educator wasn’t always the plan. “I didn’t grow up thinking I wanted to be a teacher at all,” Andersen said. “It was in college that I decided I wanted to do that.” Andersen, a political science professor, has been teaching at Syracuse University for 26 years, after teaching for about eight years at Ohio State University. She gave her first lecture as the Chapple Family Professor for Citizenship and Democracy on Monday at 9:30 a.m.

Robert McClure held the professorship since its inception in 2006, according to a Dec. 8 article in The Daily Orange. After McClure announced his retirement last year, Mitchel Wallerstein, former dean of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, selected Andersen to fi ll the position. “To manage the Maxwell courses requires someone who can work effectively across all of the departments,” McClure said. “By virtue of experience, interests, success, she was an obvious choice.”

J. Michael Shoes may temporarily relocate to a new location in the University Hill area to sell and receive shipments after a water main break Friday shut down the store and temporarily closed Marshall Street. “It’s just so strange,” said Jim Hicks, manager of J. Michael, about not being in the space the retailer has occupied for 28 years. Students have tried to get into the

store and walk around barricades thinking it is open, Hicks said. Hicks hopes to find a space in the area within the next two weeks, but there is not much space available, he said. The Marshall Street location will be closed for construction for two to three months, Hicks said. Hicks and others have been in the store for the past few days, going through inventory and packing up the store. The stock, such as Longchamp bags and North Face jackets, was kept

Big Sean, Donnis tickets sell out for Winter Carnival performance By Sara Tracey ASST. COPY EDITOR

Tickets for University Union’s upcoming Big Sean concert sold out Tuesday, said Gabrielle Landsman, a Bandersnatch co-director. Tickets went on sale at the Schine Box Office on Monday. The box office sold out of the maximum 350 tickets by about 2 p.m. Tuesday. This may be the fastest that tickets have sold out for a Bandersnatch concert for UU, Landsman said. “It’s a huge thing,” she said. “We listened to the students, and they responded overwhelmingly. It’s

really exciting.” Big Sean, a hip-hop artist, will headline the concert with the opening act, rapper Donnis. The concert will be held in Schine Underground on Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. The Big Sean concert is a combined effort between Bandersnatch, a subdivision of UU Concerts, and this year’s Winter Carnival, an annual winter event held by Syracuse University. This concert follows a recent string of sold-out shows for UU. Although most of the shows were
