DPS looks into filed complaint

By Nicki Gorny ASST. NEWS EDITOR

The Department of Public Safety has opened an investigation in response to a complaint that officers used excessive force during the incident at the Schine Student Center last Sunday, said DPS Associate Chief John Sardino on Tuesday.

“If we find out that excessive force was used, it’s not something that we tolerate,” he said. “That would be a serious matter.”

Sardino said he expected the investigation to take several days, in which the officer who heard the complaint interviews the person who filed the complaint, as well as others involved in the incident. This is done to clarify the facts of the incident, he said, especially as the person making a complaint sometimes does not see an entire interaction.

“I want this investigation to be done fully and completely as possible,” Sardino said.

One official complaint has been filed, Sardino said, and DPS has also received one anonymous complaint.

First Deputy Chief David Barrette of the Syracuse Police Department said no complaints had been filed with SPD.

A new cross-campus class agreement will simplify the registration process and allow Syracuse University and SUNY-ESF students to take classes more easily at the opposite campus.

The agreement, announced last Tuesday, improves on previous agree-

ments by outlining more precisely how many credit hours students can take and when they can take them, as well as enabling both schools to better budget for tuition fees. “(We) are excited by the fact that this does provide increased access and really does bring the institutions closer

Café Kubal makes fair trade deal

Class app explores CNY winters

By Heather Rounds Contributing Writer

By Eashaa Parekh Contributing Writer

Cafè Kubal recently entered into a direct trade agreement with Thrive Farmers Market in order to provide their customers with better quality coffee.

Thrive Farmers Coffee is a group of farmers who supply coffee to a number of private roasters, retailers and cafes.

Cafè Kubal, located at 720 University Ave., is one of three outlets that are part of the agreement, said Peter Pullen, head of staff at Cafè Kubal. He added that this agreement will ensure the farmers receive more of a profit from their crop, giving them more incentive to produce higher-quality crops.

As opposed to a fair trade agreement, which sets a fixed price for the coffee, the direct trade agreement varies with the quality of the crop produced, said Angie Hillman, coordinator of media relations at Thrive Farmers.

“The farmers get at least 50 percent of the revenue,” she said. “This has never been done in history.”

Matt Godard, the owner of Café Kubal, thought about the direct trade agreement for a while, Pullen said.

He said he hopes to have Café Kubal derive all of its coffee through direct trade agreements.

“It would be awesome,” he said.

“We don’t want to buy cheap coffee and sell it at a low price. We want our customers to enjoy coffee derived from premium sources.”

Pullen added that this agreement would increase the cost of the coffee being sold at the cafe because both the bean and process are taken into consideration. Instead of brewing the coffee, Cafè Kubal uses “the pour see café kubal page 6

Community reacts to ‘A+ school for B students’ ranking

By Caroline Strange Contributing Writer

U.S. News & World Report ranked Syracuse University tied for second on its list of “A+ Schools for B Students” for national universities in its most recent ranking, sparking reactions from SU students and alumni.

In addition to SU, the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry was also ranked on the list.

“I’m seriously offended,” said Madeline Chait, a freshman political

the daily orange

science major. “I worked really hard to get in here.”

U.S. News & World Report examined two key elements: ranking on the publication’s Best College Rankings list and the average freshman retention rate.

U.S. News sees its ranking as a sign of excellence, while the freshman retention rate can be a sign of student satisfaction, according U.S. News’ website.

Many in the SU community had mixed reactions regarding the findings.

Other factors used to compile the rankings include: class rank and the admittance of a significant number of

non-A students, which is determined by the critical reading and math sections of the SAT or composite ACT scores. Whichever exam had the most submissions for fall 2011 is used for the calculation, according the website.

The total number of students applying to the university has increased to more than 25,000 this year. SU’s admission rate was about 51 percent for the most recent class.

Don Saleh, vice president for enrollment management at SU, said in a March 2, 2011 Inside Higher Ed article that U.S. News rewards colleg-

es for high rejection rates. SU ranks No. 58 nationally.

Not all of the colleges at SU accept the same number or the same percentage of applicants each year, said Melissa Chessher, chair of the magazine journalism department in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. She added that it is better for the university as a whole to have a single acceptance rate displayed.

But regardless of how the acceptance rate is displayed, the ranking disappointed alumna Harriette Parton. see ranking page 6

For Syracuse University students in Seth Gitner’s multimedia projects class, a project has turned into something reaching far beyond the classroom.

Students in the class, ICC 300: “Selected Topics: Interactive Communications Core,” created an application called CNY32 Degrees, which is now available as a free app for the iPad in the iTunes store. The app features a variety of multimedia feature stories on the topic of Central New York winters.

“My intent is always to have my students make something that is real,” said Gitner, an assistant professor in the newspaper and online journalism department.

From the beginning of the class, the goal was to craft an app that could transition and function into the real digital world, Gitner said.

The app was originally going to consist of a compilation of stories that focused on the long, infamous Central New York winters, and serve as a magazine-style tourist guide about Central New York winters, he said.

The class was initially expecting to do typical winter stories centered around winter events and activities such as skiing, sledding and storms, said Kayla Rice, a senior photojournalism major in the class. But due to the mild winter that Syracuse experienced last year, the project had to shift to a spread that included spring and indoor activities, as well as some outside-of-the-box pieces.

In looking for story ideas, Gitner encouraged his students to think beyond the classroom and the campus.

Half of the day-in-the-life and feature-style pieces displayed in the app were inspired by a class field trip to Toggenburg Mountain.

The class spent a weekend finding inspiration, shooting, interviewing, photographing, editing and writing on the hilly terrain and in the ski lodge.

The other half of the stories focused on a variety of topics, such as hot cocoa recipes and tips on winter fashion.

SU support for betterment of local urban schools is encouraged to continue Syracuse University’s support of Say Yes to Education and the local urban schools is a worthy use of the university’s resources. As the most influential institute of higher education in Syracuse, the university holds an obligation to be involved with the betterment of these schools.

This university is a part of the community, a stance Chancellor Nancy Cantor has worked to establish during her time at SU. Aiding local urban schools is one of the university’s most

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board important community outreach projects, as it makes sense for this institution to inspire the local academic community.

Administrators from local urban schools have expressed concern about whether the next SU chancellor, after Cantor’s retirement in June, will continue providing resources and support

to the schools. The next chancellor should pay the same amount of attention to the schools and carry on work Cantor has done with them.

This involvement benefits the schools, local community and SU students. The Say Yes to Education program helps SU students connect with the community beyond the Hill and gain possible future career experience.

This is especially accurate for students in the School of Education.

But university officials also need to ensure

resources put toward these initiatives are used wisely and that SU students’ education is not hindered.

Outreach to these schools is most important for the children and young adults these efforts affect. By bringing local students to campus, SU is acting as a role model for these possibly disadvantaged students. It provides a tangible view of what their futures could be, and inspires students who were previously unaware that they can obtain a college education.

Administration appreciates critical role of libraries, supports future enhancement I am writing to respond to a letter that appeared last week, signed by the members of the University Senate Library Committee. I am grateful for the committee’s support for the library and their advocacy for the students and faculty of Syracuse University. Their letter referenced the recommendations in the recent report by an external library review team, and urged the administration to heed their recommendations, including provision of additional resources and to “take seriously the SU Library as an integral part of the academic enterprise at the university.”

As the chief academic officer for SU, I can say that the university administration deeply appreciates the critical role the SU Library and its staff plays in advancing the diverse educational and scholarly aspirations of our students and faculty. It is fair to say that the level of funding dedicated to the SU Library during the past half-century has not always been commensurate with the quality of the institution, and has required compromises in parts of the collec-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR tion and their set of services. Over the past half dozen years or so, though, Dean Suzanne Thorin, the Senate Library Committee and faculty and students have advocated well for the library and its many constituencies, and — while not able to overcome years of underfunding — additional resources are being directed to the library. Dean Thorin and her staff have used this increased support and their hard work and ingenuity to enhance library services and begin to extend the collections.

SU has sought to be responsive to the needs of the library and our students and faculty in a variety of ways, including: · Increase in general (non-collections) operating support for the library, including a base budget increase of $1 million and onetime-only funding of $1.7 million over the past

five years. These increases have enabled key initiatives, ranging from the SUrface scholarly repository to staffing for the new storage facility. · Increase in the collections budget, including a base budget increase of $1.4 million and one-time-only funding of $1.2 million (for key collections and electronic backfiles) over the past five years, with future annual increments currently projected at five percent for print media and at least seven percent for electronic media. · Construction of a $5 million, climatecontrolled, high-density storage facility to alleviate overcrowding in Bird Library, allow for growth in the library collection and create flexible spaces that meet the collaborative learning needs of today’s students. · A multi-million dollar commitment to begin upgrading and transforming Bird Library, including key elements of a learning commons. · Substantial renovations to Carnegie Library, including restoration of the Reading Room

and a variety of building and mechanical upgrades. · A plan to repurpose Barclay Library for the University Library after the College of Law relocates to Dineen Hall in 2014.

The relentless evolution of information technology and the changing needs and expectations of students and faculty have generated unprecedented challenges for all academic research libraries in recent years, no matter their funding level. Our challenge as a university – as well a strategic opportunity – is to strive not simply to “rebuild” the optimal academic research library of yesterday, but to evolve to better meet the needs of our students and faculty of today and tomorrow. We must all be committed to communicate well about needs and relative priorities for the library, and I am certain that we can continue to enhance the support for, and centrality of, the modern research library at Syracuse.

NYPIRG campaigns allow student voices to be heard; action meeting Tuesday We’re already over one month into a new year.

For NYPIRG (the New York Public Interest Research Group) on campus, this semester will be filled with lots of numbers. 2013 marks 40 years NYPIRG has been fighting for students’ rights and the public interest all across New York state. As the state’s largest student-directed nonprofit organization, we are always looking to engage students on issues that matter most to our generation.

Our six campaigns this semester all have students at the helm working for positive

LETTER TO THE EDITOR legislative change in Albany. Specifically, the Higher Education Affordability campaign aims to fight against continued cuts to funding and the rising cost of tuition. New York students are graduating with over $26,000 in debt and landing into an ever-sinking quicksand pit that is the U.S. job market. In addition, we look to enact the NY DREAM Act,

which would extend TAP (the Tuition Assistance Program) to some 4,500 undocumented high school graduates who are seeking a higher education. This grassroots pressure will culminate in a Higher Education Action Day at the State Capitol Building on March 12, where students will have a chance to speak with their legislators and demand reforms to combat these problems.

This semester, our other campaigns include environmental protection, hunger and homelessness, consumer action, student empower-

ment and hydrofracking.

History shows that student voices make a difference and create change. Students looking to get involved with any of NYPIRG’s campaigns can attend a weekly chapter meeting, on Thursdays at 5:15 p.m. in our office above Faegan’s, or our Student Action Meeting, featuring a speaker from our central office in Manhattan, this Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 6:30 p.m. in Schine 304.

Advertising content dictated by society, made for specific target audiences This letter is in response to Paris Bethel’s Feb. 6 article, “Unilever promotes contradicting messages through Dove, Axe brands.” Bethel is looking at the world through an incredibly narrow lens in order to make her argument.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Holding companies like Unilever, P&G, etc. make it possible for brands to exist and have the money and resources to make moving, relevant marketing strategies like the Real Beauty Campaign, along with enabling a large distribution network for the label. Bethel, I urge you to look at many of the brands you buy, be it household goods, food, clothing, anything. Then look at the companies that own those brands. Then look at the other brands that same holding com-

pany owns and compare the various advertising techniques, messaging and brand identities.

You’ll see that it’s not feasible or smart for a holding company to market a wealth of products under the exact same message. Different brands appeal to people for different reasons.

While it would be great if every product could promote real beauty, self-esteem, world peace or any other feel-good cause, that’s not what all consumers want, and advertisers would be putting themselves out of a job if they tried to force that on the masses. At the end of the day, Axe and Dove are two entirely different brands that happen to be owned by the same company.

Axe makes waves with their hormonally driven raunchiness and occasionally, it gets a laugh.

Ever wonder why you see so many of those ads?

Because they’re working. That message delivers what the target audience wants to see. Don’t vilify Axe/Dove/Unilever – look at society. It’s easy to try to blame advertisers, but in reality, this industry has us in a vice grip by our respective genitals because of what we’re telling them and where we’re spending our money. Want to change the world? Start with changing yourself.

The advertising will follow.

SA must become more united to create substantial, needed reform

F

our candidates competed for the Student Association presidency in November. In their campaigns, they presented contrasting proposals for how to fix several problem areas within the organization. But the candidates did unanimously agree on one fact: SA needs reform.

President Allie Curtis believes she and her cabinet are bringing SA exactly that. The student body overwhelmingly elected Curtis, who, now one month into her yearlong term, said SA is in the best shape she has ever seen it.

“Every little aspect of SA is changing,” Curtis said, though not all members of the organization agree with this statement.

After the election, it was clear the next leader needed to improve internal inefficiency, improve SA’s relationship with registered student organizations and improve strategic student outreach. These are broad

but critical issues within the organization, and a deficiency in any of these components curtails SA’s ability to execute its job effectively.

Internal changes so far include measures to curtail the timeconsuming representative election process, introduced by Board of Elections and Membership Chair Emily Ballard. Curtis said she is working to rejuvenate the previously vague role of SA’s home college committees, as even members of the committees are unsure of how to operate them.

Outreach to registered student organizations was accurately presented as severely lacking during the campaign.

Curtis said she and the president of the Graduate Student Organization are building a liaison system between the two organizations, and SA Vice President Duane Ford has created monthly summits during which presidents of student organizations can learn about SA procedures.

campus watchdog themselves is another area in need of attention. Curtis’ biggest challenge thus far is motivating general assembly members to do more than attend the weekly meetings and make greater efforts to use their resources to “do more work that will actually affect the students,” she said.

It seems Curtis and her cabinet have employed a strategy of attempting to make many small changes to revamp the organization across the board. These concepts appear reformatory, potentially effective and should continue to be pursued.

But Comptroller Stephen DeSalvo does not share Curtis’

enthusiasm about the organization’s reform efforts. Though he is proud of the strides he and the Finance Board are making to be more effective financially for the student body, he does not feel there have been drastic changes made throughout the organization.

He said he has not witnessed much change internally or efforts to actually reform SA. But he does indicate that committee chairs and the chief of staff, specifically, are being very productive.

DeSalvo’s contributions to this session’s reform have been substantial. The restructuring of the tier system; the change to begin allocating funds toward transportation for large groups to travel off campus for events; and the improved fiscal training sessions for RSO members are all efforts to be applauded.

These are tangible reforms that completely benefit Syracuse University students.

progress being made throughout SA may be the root of the organization’s issues. How can a governing body successfully work together to reform if not all of the members are on the same page?

It is obvious that all want to improve the issues that surfaced during the campaign, but only the coming months of the 57th Session will tell whether Curtis can bring the assembly together to successfully achieve this.

Effective change does not have to come in the most drastic form or as a grand overhaul, but action from the entire assembly is in order. Curtis, cabinet and DeSalvo need to continue their respective projects and goals while creating a more united assembly in the process.

SCHINE FROM PAGE 1

The circumstances surrounding the complaints lie in the fights that broke out during a dance party at Schine last Sunday. Students who attended the event said the chaos of the fights and attempts to clear more than 800 people from an auditorium in 15 minutes elicited pushing and shoving from students, DPS and Syracuse police officers who came to assist.

Although the doors to Goldstein Auditorium opened at 11:30 p.m., most attendees of “Faded,” a dance party organized collaboratively by the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations and the National Pan-Hellenic Council, arrived after midnight, said John Hayden, a freshman architecture student who attended the party. When doors officially closed at 12:30 a.m., the auditorium was crowded with partygoers, he said.

A live DJ filled the space with rap and hiphop songs, Hayden said. Everyone seemed to be having fun and getting along, he said, until the party had nearly ended.

At about 1:45 a.m., just before the party’s scheduled end at 2 a.m., other partygoers jostled Hayden and his friends. When he turned to find a reason for the pushing, Hayden said he saw approximately five people fighting in the center of the room. More joined the fight, forming a “giant mob of people.” “(The fight) started toward the stairs and it kind of moved to the right,” said Chanell Chebuske, an undecided freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences who also attended the party.

“After that, it seemed to be more than one fight.”

As the fighting escalated, attendees congregated against the walls so that only students engaged in the fights occupied the center of the floor, Hayden said.

Several attendees tried to break up the fights, he said, and the DJ stopped the music and called for an end to the confrontations. But so many people were involved in various fights that as soon as one person calmed down and disengaged from an altercation, another would become upset and initiate a fight again, Hayden said.

Sardino, of DPS, said approximately 40 or 50 people engaged in some sort of pushing and shoving at the height of the fighting.

Six officers, the typical number for an event of this size in Goldstein, had been assigned to the party, Sardino said. As the fighting escalated, these officers turned on the lights and

Customers, such as Justin Hilgart, said they support the cafe’s new agreement.

Hilgart, a freshman in the School of Information Studies and Martin J. Whitman School of Management, approved of the agreement despite the higher prices.

“It sounds like a good business deal because both sides will make more money when you cut out the middle man,” he said.

Ugochukwu Obieshi, a junior aerospace engineering major, said he wasn’t aware of the agreement, but thinks it’s a great idea because it allows

stepped in to break up the fights.

But Chebuske, the freshman who attended the party, said there was not much DPS could do to quell the fighting.

“A lot of the guys fighting were really big. It took more than two DPS men to get them down,” she said, adding that other students were also proactive in trying to control those engaged in the fighting.

Seeing they were unable to control the situation, the officers called for assistance from other DPS officers and SPD, Sardino said. At the highest point, more than 20 or 25 officers from both organizations were on the scene, he said.

Sardino said DPS used pepper spray inside the auditorium on students who had been separated multiple times and still continued to fight.

When those causing the disruption refused to stop, Sardino said DPS decided shutting down the dance party would be in everyone’s best interests. He said while students expressed no resistance to this decision, there was some panic and congestion near the doors as approximately 850 students tried to leave the auditorium at the same time.

The situation was chaotic as DPS shouted and pushed students toward the doors, Chebuske said. Many were still trying to figure out what was happening, while others were trying to find friends or belongings in the coat rack next to the door. Coats lay all over the floor, and Chebuske said she was afraid to bend down to find her own for fear of being knocked down by the jostling crowd.

Another fight broke out by the door, she said, adding to the chaos.

While Chebuske said DPS’ presence helped to control the situation, she said officers were quickly trying to get students out of the room.

“I think they were just really impatient,” she said. “To be honest, I think they used unnecessary force on the wrong people. They were yelling at us, but we were just getting our coats.”

Officers cleared the auditorium in about 15 minutes, Sardino said, although fights continued in the area between Schine and E.S. Bird Library. No pepper spray was used outside, he said, and only physical force was used to separate those who continued to fight.

Fewer people were involved in the fights outside, Hayden said, and the fights were less intense.

By the time the entire incident had been broken up, eight students were arrested outside Schine. Several of these students have said they were not involved in the fighting.

Event to discuss race perception

By Nicki Gorny ASST. NEWS EDITOR

Due to increased attention regarding diversity issues at Syracuse University, several campus groups will sponsor “Scar: The Perception of the Minority Community at Syracuse University” to foster discussion on these topics.

The event, which will feature a panel discussion followed by a town hall-style meeting, will take place on Tuesday, Feb. 26 in Hendricks Chapel, according to a memo from Ronald Taylor, a student organizer. The goal is to foster a conversation on the state of diversity at SU. Taylor, a sophomore political science and policy studies major, said the concept has been in the works since September. Organization of the actual event began in late January, when Taylor spoke with representatives from the Student African American Society, the African Student Union and the Office of Multicultural Affairs.

Event organizers are still trying to secure panelists for the event, he said, and should be finalized by the end of the week.

Taylor said the concept arose from person-

al observations of structures at SU through which diversity is not respected.

He gave the example of Department of Public Safety releases that often describe suspects as black males, 5 feet, 8 inches tall, saying this becomes a racial categorization that stigmatizes black males.

“According to that categorization, I’d be a threat,” he said, saying that friends of different racial backgrounds do not have this concern.

Taylor also referenced arguments surrounding articles about SU’s recent fall in rankings, and the attribution of this drop to the increasing number of minority students accepted to SU under Chancellor Nancy Cantor.

While the incident at the Schine Student Center expedited the event by increasing conversations about race, Taylor said, it was not an integral factor in the organization of the event.

“In one sense, it was a coincidence,” he said. “It aided in the conversation I was having and made it a little bit more important.” nagorny@syr.edu

the cafe to pay more attention to the coffee it buys.

“The questionable part of the ordeal is that Kubal will not have to adhere to coffee quality regulations already in place,” Obieshi said.

Anjali Nayar, an undecided freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences, said she approves of the agreement because it will better the lives of many around the world.

ESF Taking notes every monday in news

By Shannon Hazlitt

A

STAFF WRITER

lthough SUNY-ESF has the oldest program in paper engineering in the country, a new connection will help students and faculty in the program dismiss myths about the paper industry.

The Department of Paper and Bioprocess Engineering at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry officially became a partner with the nonprofit organization Two Sides in January, according to a news release on the Two Sides website.

Gary Scott, chair of the department, said Two Sides is an advocacy group focused on improving the reputation of the paper industry through reliable information and connections to paper engineering institutions throughout the world.

“I think some of the messaging material that Two Sides has developed can help us recruit students into the program,” Scott said.

The partnership between ESF and Two Sides started after Scott and students in the paper engineering department heard the president of Two Sides, Phil Riebel, speak at an industry convention in North Carolina. ESF officials then talked with Two Sides about a partnership, Scott said.

Historically, the paper industry has not been good at promoting itself as a sustainable industry, Scott said. He said he thinks the partnership with Two Sides will help ESF educate people about the realities of the paper industry.

In New York state, paper industries selectively harvest trees according to a system planned 60 years in advance to ensure the continuous health and stability of forests, Scott said.

The paper industry is actually one of the largest industries in the United States based off of sustainable and renewable materials, Scott said.

He said Two Sides and ESF are combating the new

SUNY-ESF’s paper, bioprocess engineering department creates partnership to improve reputation trend of companies encouraging customers to take advantage of electronic billing because they claim it is better for the environment, since it saves paper and therefore trees. Scott said companies often do this to shift printing costs from company printing to home printing, however, at the same time, they paint the paper industry in the United States as unsustainable.

ESF’s new connection to Two Sides is helping paper engineering students such as Aislinn Brackman, dismiss myths about the paper industry.

“We are trying to inform people about the sustainability of paper because there is a huge misconception that paper is bad and kills trees,” said Brackman, a senior. “The paper industry actually promotes healthy forests.”

Brackman said she hopes Two Sides can help her paper science club, Papyrus, spread the word that the paper industry actually promotes healthy forests and overall sustainability.

Christopher Wood, a graduate student in the paper engineering program, said the paper industry saves forests in places such as South America, where companies would otherwise buy the land and clear-cut it for development or breeding livestock.

“There are counties in Maine that are nothing but trees, and they are owned by international paper industries,” Wood said.

“They are being careful with it because they know that is their raw material.”

Joseph Piazza, a junior paper engineering major, said his biggest hope is that the connection with Two Sides will increase education among people who are unfamiliar with what the department at ESF is all about.

He is also a member of the Papyrus club, and loves to see people’s faces light up when he gives tours of the paper creation process in Walters Hall.

Said Piazza: “We want people to see that we are trying to prepare for the future and become a savior of the urban environment.” smhazlit@syr.edu

together at a time when that kind of collaboration is really helpful to higher education,” said Eric Spina, SU vice chancellor and provost.

While SU students will continue to have access to State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry courses on a space-available basis, ESF students now have a specified credit allotment for SU courses.

The credit hour allotments for ESF students, starting in the 2013-14 academic school year, are as follows, according to ESF’s website: • Freshmen entering ESF next fall will receive 16 credit hours.

• Transfer students will receive a minimum of four credit hours. This depends on how many credits they have when they transfer to ESF. • Credit hours for current ESF upperclassmen will be determined by the number of credits they have already earned toward their ESF degree. Students will receive a minimum of four credit hours even if they have already surpassed the 16 credit hour maximum due to previous classes. They will also have the opportunity to petition for additional credit hours in order to take required courses.

• Graduate students will receive 15 credit hours at the start of their degree program.

In addition, ESF students can take no more than eight SU credit hours during their first 30 hours, and no more than 11 SU credit hours during their first 60 hours. ESF students can also purchase additional SU credit hours at approximately $340 per credit hour, according to the website.

A cross-campus class agreement between the two schools has existed since ESF became a SUNY school in 1911, said Robert French, ESF vice president for enrollment management and marketing, in an email.

Previously, SU would make a specified number of credit hours available to ESF students. SUNY would then pay SU based on the difference between the SU credit hours taken

by ESF students and ESF credit hours taken

by SU students, French said.

For example, ESF students are taking about 1,600 credit hours at SU this spring and SU students are registered for about 800 credit hours at ESF, French said, so SUNY will pay SU for the 800 credit hour difference.

But the number of credits taken by students at each school, and therefore the payment associated with it, has varied from year to year, making it difficult for long-term academic and budget planning, French said. The new agreement provides a more predictable budget, as credit hours are more predictable, he said.

The new agreement will also make the registration process easier for ESF students, French said.

Under the previous agreement, students had to get permission from an adviser to enroll in SU classes, and often had to get multiple signatures in order to get their course approved, he said.

SU and ESF officials will examine the agreement together every year to determine whether the number of credits being taken is as expected, whether the right classes are being offered and whether the deal is a “win-win” for both schools, said Spina, SU’s vice chancellor and provost.

Although many ESF students had not heard of the change, several said they appreciated it.

“There’s not a lot of variety,” said Hannah Comstock, a senior conservation biology major at ESF who has taken courses at SU. “I mean, the classes here are great, but I would have liked to have explored other options.”

Hope Papapietro, an ESF freshman chemistry major, said she didn’t have problems enrolling in the SU psychology class she’s currently taking, but is still glad the rules are now clearer.

“Now I don’t have to feel bad about it,” she said. “Like I’m betraying ESF or something.” jliannet@syr.edu @JessicaIannetta

I

f you were looking for a game to help you forget your snowy horror stories from this weekend, this third-person shooter is only bound to create more.

Though claustrophobic corridors of derelict spaceships initially defined the series, “Dead Space 3” brings protagonist Isaac Clarke down to the surface of the inhospitable ice planet, Tau Volantis.

The game begins with a fairly exhaustive video covering the first two games and their backstories.

The education is helpful, but most of this entry’s characters are new, and the new conflict is pretty self-contained. Set in 2514, engineer Clarke is on the run from both the Earth Government and religious extremists known as the Unitologists.

EarthGov tracks him to the moon, and they whisk him off to the far reaches of space to have him stomp out the source of the space zombies, known as Necromorphs.

The story eventually devolves into pretty standard “save the universe” stuff, but the game excels — as “Dead Space” always has — in atmosphere.

Every blood-smeared hallway tells a story, and hidden text and audio logs provide horrific glimpses into each area’s history.

Although this game is much more actionfocused than previous titles, the combat is still incredibly tense. The other two were more difficult, with more restrained player movement and scarce resources, but the unsettling string music, spooky lighting and terrifying monster designs combine to make every situation feel desperate.

I had at least one “Dead Space 3”-related nightmare during my time with the game.

But even if it all feels familiar, a few major changes have been made to the game’s structure.

It’s much more open, both in terms of outdoor environments and introduction of non-linear side missions, which offer bits of back story and piles of extra resources. These resources go toward the new weapon crafting system, which allows players to build their own guns, swapping out upper and lower barrels and ammo types. I personally preferred the previous simplicity of just buying new weapons, but this more flexible system contributes well to the faster-paced action.

Still, when the story is at its best, there are some serious pacing issues. The campaign is much longer than the standard action game (around 12 hours), yet the game is still padded by a couple of side missions with cut-and-paste rooms, each of them slightly too long for their own good. I sought them all out for the back story, but I wouldn’t recommend them for anyone who isn’t drawn into evil religion space drama.

Furthermore, the game is frontloaded with the best parts. The first third has the cool zero-gravity sections that help break up the shooting, but once

Clarke hits the planet’s surface, things feel a bit more monotonous.

The game also features online cooperative play for the first time. Rather than just creating a duplicate Clarke, the developers have fully integrated Carver, the new co-op player character, into the story. It’s a nice touch, but he’s pretty poorly written. He mainly plays the “jock bully” to Clarke’s “nerd,” except for an awkward character information dump during the last couple of missions. Still, it seems better considered than the competitive multiplayer of “Dead Space 2,” which is now completely absent. Fans were concerned that co-op would dull the horror experience, but it fits well with the heavier action focus.

This is easily the weakest “Dead Space” game, but the quality that comes with that name is well above that of the standard action game. With a lower difficulty curve than earlier games, this is a good place for newcomers to check things out, and the early parts will at least satisfy fans. ikdavis@syr.edu

Hip-hop, dubstep hybrid Krewella gets crowd moving

By Autumn Boatner CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Grimy. Dirty. Filthy. These are words that, in the electronic dance music scene, can be used to describe an atmosphere that is great for fans.

The new rise in electronic music is called trap, which is a mix of hip-hop, dubstep and dub (repetitive and low-frequency focus). Krewella, an electronic dance music group, is made up of Rain Man, Yasmin and Jahan Yousaf from Chicago.

Krewella, formed in 2007, came to fame in 2012 with the release of their EP “Play Hard,” performed Thursday night at The Westcott Theater.

The doors opened at 7 p.m. with a fair mix of locals and students in the audience. Even with temperatures as low as seven degrees that evening, showgoers didn’t let the wind chill discourage their good time. The show was full of energy and heat, despite Syracuse’s chilly landscape.

Through openers DJ Shamrock, Lazerbass, Direktor and DotEXE, the crowd grew slowly throughout the night, with scantily clad girls with tutus on their hips, gemstones on their chests and flowers in their hair filling onto the dance floor. A line quickly formed outside of the women’s restroom surrounding the coat racks, as the restroom doubled as a changing room.

Layers of clothing came in and plenty of flesh walked out.

Krewella didn’t come out to perform until 11:30 p.m., nearly five hours after the doors opened, but the group’s presence rejuvenated the crowd. The lucky audience members surrounding the barricades got to touch the group’s

hands as they greeted fans on their way toward the stage.

“Oh my God, she touched my hand. I’m never washing this hand again. Her hands were so soft,” remarked Louie LaGambino, a sophomore in the College of Visual and Performing Arts who succeeded in reaching over the barricade to touch Krewella member Yasmine.

The audience seemed to be a little worn down by 11:30 p.m. until Krewella’s hit “Alive” started playing, and more girls climbed on shoulders to sway. Even the shyest dancers in the room were enjoying themselves and letting loose. The performers let their audience members know the show isn’t about dancing the best or being the best. The bands encouraged the crowd to not worry about looking like a fool, since the next person might be dancing three times harder.

Many dancers incorporated lights and skill.

Orbitals and glovers were scattered throughout the crowd, popular for boosting the party atmosphere and providing light shows as entertainment for fans. A glove set is a set of gloves with colored LED lights at the fighter tips. An orbital is a simple square of colored LED lights on a string that’s twisted and contorted to appear in streams of light.

These “orbital artists” frequently got hugs from appreciative showgoers. One orbital artist was sophomore Emily Callahan. Callahan said orbiting is exhausting, since it’s tiresome enough to dance at a show, but she still loves it.

“Well, I like orbiting because it becomes a reflection of music, and it takes a lot of practice to really get the smoothness down,” Callahan

sinister. Todd attracts customers into his barbershop in need of a shave, and then slits their throats with his straight razor. The economical Mrs. Lovett then cleans the meat off of the bones and serves it in her meat pies.

Mrs. Lovett and Todd sing a humorous duet about the quality of the customers they get their meat from. Mrs. Lovett gloats: “Everybody shaves, so there should be plenty of flavors!”

Kyle Albertson stars as Todd, marking his Syracuse Opera debut like only a leading man should — with a dramatic entrance to the stage. After the cast belts out the opening number, “No Place Like London,” Albertson is slowly raised up from underneath the stage, staring menacingly out into the audience. Albertson’s mannerisms throughout the night’s performance prove to be just as creepily astute as one’s imagination could draw for a serial killer.

Luckily for Albertson, his talent is matched with a standout cast that has no weak links — an especially tough feat that not many casts can brag about.

Mrs. Lovett was perfectly portrayed by Jennifer Roderer. While she acted as the motherly figure of the production, she was the brain

Krewella kept up the energy of the crowd through songs like “Killin’ it,” “Play Hard” and “Feel Me” throughout the end of the night. It was well after 1 a.m. by the end of the show, and the sweaty, exhausted and happy crowd cheered as Krewella thanked Syracuse for coming out. aboatner@syr.edu

behind the sinister plan, piecing it together and smoothing out its rough edges when things began to fall apart. Happily, as is not always the case, her vocal performance as Mrs. Lovett was skillfully just comical enough, proving that she deserves the title of a leading lady.

The most notable performance of the evening came from actor Jonathan Christopher, who played Anthony Hope, a sailor who befriends Todd and lusts after Todd’s daughter, Johanna. Indeed, it was his love song to Johanna that brought down the house, his hearty baritone vibrato reaching all corners of the theater, his emotion emanating into the audience.

The only drawback from the performance was the choice not to mic the singers, although this is fairly common for opera troupes.

The leads had no problem projecting their voices, and they strongly articulated their dialogue for the most part, making it easy to understand the words being sung.

The chorus, however, was not as strong as the main voices. One-liners sung by select chorus members were lost in the spacious room, as they were either not sung loud enough or the notes were too low in their register to be sung strong enough. Still, when the company sang as a whole, the effect was chilling.

Performing a show that is often considered a musical rather than an opera is a risk by the

notice and roared.

Coming off of a month without game action, Southerland wasn’t in a rhythm right away. He missed his first four field goals, but sank two free throws toward the end of the first half that gave SU a 34-22 lead.

Southerland had time to settle in. A dominant offensive performance by everyone else around him created separation from St. John’s.

Syracuse shot 50 percent in the first half, and

was 5-of-11 (45.5 percent) from the arc. Southerland attempted two 3s but missed both.

“He’s going to be nervous,” head coach Jim Boeheim said. “He was a little bit off the first half, and then he got the same shots in the second half. He’s going to make those shots if he gets them.”

Southerland hit his first 3 from the right corner a little more than three minutes into the second half to give Syracuse a 43-31 lead. But St. John’s continued to hang around. D’Angelo Harrison hit a 3 at the other end to close the deficit to nine.

About a minute later, Southerland put a stamp on his return. Harrison missed a 3, and

Triche grabbed the rebound. He passed to Carter-Williams, who threaded a pass to a breaking Southerland. He slammed the ball through the rim, sending a charge through the crowd as the Orange took a 46-34 lead.

St. John’s made a run and closed the deficit to five. But that’s when Southerland started dealing his greatest damage, which came from the arc, as usual.

“I got a nice little free throw to get me going a little bit,” Southerland said. “I came out not even thinking about the first half, just going out there firing.”

In the next two minutes, Southerland hit two more 3-pointers, both from the top of the key. The second one put Syracuse up 58-45 as the Orange wrestled back momentum and control of the game. Having Southerland on the floor makes Syracuse’s offense deeper and more versatile.

“I know I’ve got someone out on the wing that’s capable of knocking down any type of shot,” Carter-Williams said. “I don’t have to force anything. I’ve got a pure shooter out on the wing.”

Having Southerland back means Syracuse can have an eight-man rotation again.

Boeheim said that’s the ideal number, not seven. Plus, Southerland forces defenses to expand to the outside.

“He’s a threat outside and pulls the defense out to him which should open some things up inside,” Boeheim said. “We aren’t taking advantage of that, but we need to.”

Southerland is a force off of the bench. Syracuse has more shooters to make big shots and opposing defense have more to defend. It’s a simple formula, but one that makes the Orange a more dynamic team.

“Now it’s going to be even more spread,” Triche said. “Now you know you have a knockdown shooter waiting on the 3-point line.” cjiseman@syr.edu @chris_iseman

Syracuse guards thrive on both ends; Grant remains starter

By Ryne Gery and Chris Iseman THE DAILY ORANGE

Brandon Triche and Michael Carter-Williams turned in nearly identical numbers in leading Syracuse against St. John’s on Sunday.

They set the tone on both ends of the court in the dominant 19-point victory, harassing the Red Storm guards at the top of the zone, knocking down open jumpers and feeding their teammates with precise passes.

The senior finished with 16 points, seven assists and a steal, while the sophomore registered 17 points, eight assists and six steals.

“I thought Brandon and Michael played well,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “I thought this was their best game in a long time that they were good on defense, good on offense.”

On defense, they were active and opportunistic, keeping their hands in the passing lanes and pressuring guards in their area.

Six-plus minutes into the game, the backcourt duo combined to force a St. John’s turnover that led to an easy bucket on the break.

Red Storm forward JaKarr Sampson held the ball in the left corner with nowhere to go. He looked to swing the ball back around the perimeter, but Triche denied the pass to

“They’ve been a good experience just to know that I can be on the court and I can play with anybody else in the NCAA. ” Jerami Grant SU FORWARD

guard D’Angelo Harrison on the wing. Sampson thought he had an opening to reach teammate Sir’Dominic Pointer at the top of the key. But that’s when Carter-Williams pounced in front and took off with the steal.

The 6-foot-6 point guard dribbled down court with his left hand before switching to his right

A mid-range jumper from the left corner swished through the net, just like his longrange attempt to get it started. It showed off another part of his well-rounded game, and gave Syracuse a comfortable 12-point lead with less than nine minutes to play.

Then came his second 3.

Again, it came from the left corner and again with an easy swish through the net. Only this time, Fair exaggerated his follow-through, holding it up for his teammates and opponents to see before he trotted down court with a smirk on his face.

“I felt good because I knocked down my first few 3s,” Fair said. “The team kept leaving me open because I’m not really known as the 3-point threat I guess, and for me to knock it down, them two shots got me going.”

St. John’s scouting report changed after the break.

The Red Storm was well aware of Fair’s ability to hit the open 3, and opted to challenge the forward when he caught the ball on the perimeter.

And as Fair said, that only opened up the

for an easy finger roll as Harrison flew by for a failed steal attempt.

Syracuse took a 16-8 lead that soon expanded to 21-10 after a 3-pointer and assist by Triche.

Another 3 by Triche off of a feed from CarterWilliams closed the half with the Orange up by 13.

“We were just flowing and finding our open teammates and they were knocking down shots,” Carter-Williams said.

While both scored and distributed the ball effectively, Triche was more impressed with the tandem’s low turnover total. The guards combined for just five turnovers, giving them a 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

After a pair of turnovers by the guards in a 13-second span in the opening minutes, both settled in.

Carter-Williams drilled a 3 off of a pass from Triche on the ensuing possession, inciting a fist pump from Boeheim as he urged Carter-Williams to get locked in heading down the court.

He and Triche did that as the team’s catalysts, powering an offense with four players in double figures while helping put Baye Moussa Keita in position for eight points on 4-for-4 shooting.

With the guards playing this way, Syracuse will continue to click as conference play continues.

“They both played well,” Jerami Grant said.

“Brandon played a great game. Mike played a great game – to get a contribution from them like that, we’re definitely going to be hard to beat going forward.”

Grant holds on to starting role Jerami Grant made it too difficult for head coach Jim Boeheim to take him out of Syracuse’s starting lineup. So for now, he’s not going anywhere.

Boeheim said after the Orange’s 77-58 win against St. John’s that Grant will continue to start and the message will be the same: “Get out there and play good.” Grant played 15 minutes Sunday, and finished up with four points on 2-of5 shooting. It was the fewest minutes he’s played since Jan. 9 at Providence, though his playing time isn’t likely to dwindle much more.

“He got a great experience. He really came through big time, tough situations,” Boeheim said. “We won four games out of six, that

“I kind of felt my rhythm early. I made a couple 3s and then after that, that kind of opened up the rest of my game.

That’s why I was able to drive and make the midrange shot as well.”

final weapon in his offensive arsenal.

With St. John’s closing in on Syracuse, cutting its lead to five points less than nine minutes into the second half, Fair caught the ball in the left corner, behind the arc. He drove baseline, absorbing contact from Red Storm forward JaKarr Sampson with each step to the basket, and released a high-arcing shot beyond the reach of St. John’s 6-foot-9 shot-blocker, Chris Obekpa.

The ball bounced around the rim and dropped. Syracuse led by seven and the threat was over. The Orange’s lead would never dip

could’ve been two out of six very easily. To play those games with seven guys was a very difficult stretch. Jerami stepped it up big time.”

Grant earned his first start in the Orange’s game at Pittsburgh last week. The loss of DaJuan Coleman, who had knee surgery and is out for four weeks, pushed C.J. Fair to power forward. Grant stepped in at small forward and thrived. It was a physical game against the Panthers, but Grant held his own to finish with five points and five rebounds.

Against Notre Dame on Monday, Grant was dominant. He scored 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting and grabbed six boards. Both performances proved Grant could not only be a formidable starter, but that he could also keep up in physical, aggressive games.

“They’ve been a good experience just to know that I can be on the court and I can play with anybody else in the NCAA,” Grant said. “It just helps me realize how good I am, and how comfortable I am out on the court.”

Grant’s ascension to a playmaking starter was even more critical, as Syracuse was without James Southerland. The senior forward averages 13.6 points per game. Grant scored at least 10 points in four of the six games the Orange was without Southerland.

“Jerami did a great job,” Southerland said.

“Even though he didn’t get as many minutes as he did the last time, 40 minutes, he’s definitely going to bring it in the tournament when we need him the most.”

Grant said after Saturday’s game that he doesn’t feel he has “competition” with Southerland. But like they did against St. John’s, they’ll likely continue to sub in and out for each other throughout the rest of the season.

While Southerland will begin games on the bench, Grant will be in the lineup from the opening tip.

“He’ll start, he’ll continue to start the rest of the year,” Boeheim said. “He’ll get a lot of good minutes, productive minutes.”

Southerland glad to be back The suspension dragged on, but the whole time James Southerland believed he did nothing wrong.

Southerland was declared ineligible before

below eight in the final 11 minutes.

“C.J. was great,” point guard Michael CarterWilliams said. “He got to the hoop, made his free throws, the pull-up jumper was good – he just had an all-around game and that’s the type of player C.J. is.”

The junior also paced SU with nine rebounds in a steady 39-minute performance that has come to be expected by Fair’s teammates and Boeheim.

Syracuse guard Brandon Triche said he expects Fair’s scoring average to continue to climb down the stretch. He was quick to point out that the forward leads the team in rebounding while playing nearly 40 minutes every game.

But on Sunday, it was Fair’s contribution to the offense that stood out. His first 3 sparked a strong start by the Orange, his mid-range jumpers kept St. John’s at arm’s length for much of the contest, and his tough drives sealed the game in the second half.

His all-around game came to the forefront right when Syracuse needed it against St. John’s.

“He’s our most complete or consistent player and he’s just bringing it every night,” Triche said. “That’s what we need.” rjgery@syr.edu

Syracuse’s game against Villanova at the Carrier Dome on Jan. 12. The suspension was related to an academic issue. Southerland missed the next six games. Finally, on Friday, Southerland had the chance to appeal the suspension in front of an SU judicial review board, and a day later, found out he won the appeal.

After Saturday’s game, head coach Jim Boeheim said the process Southerland had to go through was the same as it would be for any other student. The fact that he was an athlete didn’t matter.

“It took a long time to prove that, unfortunately,” Boeheim said. “That’s the way the system works. He had to go through it, just like anybody else. It wasn’t resolved until Friday.

That’s the normal process.”

While he couldn’t play in any games, Southerland continued to work hard in practice. Boeheim said the coaches put an emphasis on working Southerland hard in practice to keep him fresh.

During Southerland’s absence, Syracuse went 4-2. At times, the Orange’s offense was cold. Southerland wasn’t there to knock down big shots from the arc. Even more so, Syracuse’s bench took a significant hit.

The whole time, though, Southerland tried to stay positive. He said he was confident he would end up back on the court this season.

“It was tough, but at the same time, you’ve just got to stay mentally focused. You can still be a leader out there off the court,” Southerland said. “There’s a lot of bumps during the road, but you’ve just got to handle them. You can’t back away from them.”

Boeheim said it’s tough for any player to miss playing time, let alone six games. This is Southerland’s final season with Syracuse. Being off of the court, missing games, was a difficult stretch for both Southerland and the team.

About one month and six games later, Southerland’s back.

“It’s life and death, that game. Missing one game, missing one half, is huge for players,” Boeheim said. “You never get that back. He had to go through the process and he did. He hung in there through it.” rjgery@syr.edu cjiseman@syr.edu

Southerland makes return in win over Storm

SPORTS EDITOR

randon Triche peppered James Southerland with questions for two days. He wanted to know when Southerland would be back on the court. Not only so his friend could be back playing in his final season, but also because of how Southerland’s presence on the court affects the Orange’s offense.

Southerland knocks down shots from the outside. Defenses expand.

The inside opens up. It’s a formula that Syracuse thrives off of, but one it hasn’t had in a month.

The Orange could breathe easy for Sunday’s game. Southerland, who missed the last six games due to an academic issue, returned to the lineup and made big plays at both ends of the floor in Syracuse’s (20-3, 8-2 Big East) 77-58 win against St. John’s (159, 7-5) in the Carrier Dome. It was the Orange’s largest margin of victory since it beat Rutgers back on Jan. 2.

Southerland’s return wasn’t official until Saturday. His teammates were in the dark until then.

“It was almost like a secret. A lot of people weren’t sure,” Triche said. “I kept asking James ‘You going to play?’ He gave me a runaround answer. I had to ask him about 27 times.”

After winning his appeal in front of a judicial review board Friday, Southerland reclaimed his spot in Syracuse’s rotation. In 26 minutes, Southerland finished with 13 points on 4-of-10 shooting and nailed three of his seven 3-point attempts.

Southerland entered the game at the 13:17 mark of the first half, replacing Jerami Grant. As soon as he removed his warm-up top and rose from the bench, seemingly all of the 27,169 fans in attendance took

The forward finished with 13 points, burying three 3s and sparking SU to a 77-58 win over the Red Storm.

All alone, C.J. Fair caught the ball in the left corner and waited. The Syracuse forward had time to size up his first 3-point attempt of the game, which dropped smoothly through the basket moments later.

The shot – the first field goal by either team – came in the first 71 seconds of the game, but it revealed to St. John’s that Fair could score from anywhere on the floor, something he put on display for the remaining 39 minutes of the matchup Sunday.

“I kind of felt my rhythm early,” Fair said. “I made a couple 3s and then after that, that kind of opened up the rest of my game. That’s why I was able to drive and make the midrange shot as well.”

Fair scored in a variety of ways – from beyond the arc and on the offensive glass, on drives and mid-range jump shots – en route to notching a team-high 17 points in the Orange’s (20-3, 8-2 Big East) 77-58 victory against the Red Storm (15-9, 7-5) in the Carrier Dome. He was solid from start to finish, picking his spots within the offense and coming through to thwart a St. John’s comeback bid in the second half.

“C.J. was terrific as always,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “It was a good win.”

Fair’s open 3 from the corner to start the game got his adrenaline flowing. The confidence grew from there as he skied for an offensive rebound and banked in the follow to extend an early SU lead to six.
