Students present on sustainable themes By Susan Kim Staff Writer
Life-size dragon and bird puppets performed in the middle of the Quad on Monday. The dragon represented the students’ dreams, while the bird represented “the ominous forces of evil” preventing students from accomplishing their dreams, Geoffrey Navias said. The performance by students in SOL 345: “Puppets and Community,” which Navias teaches, and DRA 400: “Art in Action” was an interpretation of how students can sustain their dreams in college and in the real world. Elizabeth May, a junior acting major who participated in the puppetry perfor-
mance, said the message of the performance was open for interpretation. It was a chance for students to see how they can alter their dreams to make them sustainable, she said. “It’s like a play or piece of music,” Navias said. “People take from it what they want.” The event was a part of the newly redesigned SU Showcase. The day’s events attracted a larger audience than the organizers of the event expected, with the puppetry performance attracting 90 people. There were at least 25 people at every fellow’s presentation, said Steve Parks, director of SU Showcase. He expected about 20 to 25 people at each presentation, he said.
The goal of the day was to highlight and recognize student research, and the audience made that possible, Parks said. It also helped organizers recognize how next year’s event can be improved, he said. Students from SU and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry presented their works during the daylong event on the Quad, in Hendricks Chapel and in other buildings across campus. The presentations included debates, performances and poster displays about the theme of sustainability. Many of the day’s presentations were projects students completed in see sustainability page 4
Syracuse University running back Delone Carter was arraigned in Syracuse City Court on Monday on a misdemeanor third-degree assault charge related to an incident that occurred during the early hours of Feb. 27. Carter was officially suspended from the university and banned from campus, said his CARTER lawyer, George Raus. Syracuse University spokesman Kevin Morrow said he cannot comment on Carter’s status as a student. But Carter is still enrolled at SU, Morrow said. During Monday’s arraignment, Raus entered a “not guilty” plea for Carter, and though the case was adjourned until a June 2 pretrial conference, Raus said he intends on pushing forward sooner and moving the target date up. Raus said he is not worried about the criminal charges, but said he is concerned about the course of action the university will take. An appeals process to reinstate Carter at SU will begin in the next few days, Raus said. “They suspended him because of the arrest,” Raus said. “So there’s nothing we can do. The fact that he was charged with a crime means he see carter page 4
Police patrolling Euclid find no partying, violations The Department of Public Safety and Syracuse police patrolled Euclid Avenue on Monday, the day of SU Showcase, said DPS Deputy Chief Drew Buske. No citations were given out by Syracuse police, he said, and no partying activity or violations occurred. DPS had extra officers on duty Monday because of SU Showcase, when members of the community and local high school students can come to campus to see student
presentations, Buske said. “We had a few extra officers on today to help with the (SU) Showcase presentations,” he said. The officers would have been available to assist had there been partying or violations of city ordinances on Euclid Avenue, he said. Police said they will also be patrolling Euclid Avenue on Tuesday, as well. Last year, before MayFest and SU Showcase were separate days, many students chose to
party along Euclid Avenue instead of participating in the SU Showcase events on the Quad. This year, MayFest will occur on a separate day, April 30, and is a universitysanctioned event in Walnut Park. Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner sent an e-mail to students reminding them that all city ordinances would be strictly enforced that day on Euclid Avenue and elsewhere. — Compiled by Kathleen Ronayne, asst. news editor, kronayne@syr.edu
