SU forms smoking task force

By Zach Schweikert CONTRIBUTING WRITER

“I don’t see any problem whatsoever,” Weber said. “It’s the first time in a long time that we got a committee together to be on the same page.

Which is just great.”

Weber, like others at the university, emphasized how the new practice will allow them to identify patterns of repeat offenders, and that “student can be anonymous, no ifs, ands or buts.”

Still, five students have sent out

The university’s Campus Sustainability Committee has created a task force to explore the option of making the school a tobacco-free campus after a student survey revealed that many oppose smoking.

There are about 1,182 smokefree campuses in the United States, according to Americans for Nonsmokers’ Rights, a national lobbying organization for nonsmokers. Syracuse University Alcohol, Other Drugs and Tobacco Policies discourages students from “using tobacco where it is offensive to others.” Yet, the policy recognizes the right to smoke where it’s legally permitted.

Outlawing tobacco on campus has been a point of discussion for many years, said Thomas Dennison, director of the program in Health Services Management and Policy.

The task force is still finalizing the results of a faculty and staff survey about the current number of tobacco users on campus, Dennison said. National and New York state studies are also helping the task force get an idea of tobacco use on campus, he added.

If the campus were to become tobacco-free, there would be some obstacles, but Dennison said they are mostly involved with implementing such a policy.

The biggest roadblocks, he said, would be in communications and making students aware that the campus is tobacco-free once the change happens.

“I don’t think that they are obstacles that are insurmountable,” Dennison said. He said he believes there’s a high probability the campus will become tobacco-free at some point.

Dennison said he understands

Students, experts respond to center’s practice

By Meredith Newman and Dylan Segelbaum THE DAILY ORANGE

Any information shared beyond the Advocacy Center is too much — that’s just one of the views shared about the center’s new practice.

Limited information — but not names — could be shared in cases of harassment, discrimination and sexual violence to check for patterns of repeat offenders.

The administration and campus

police say this will allow them to be proactive. But five students have sent out a letter claiming this will discourage students from using the Advocacy Center. The executive director of a local domestic and sexual violence service agency said she sees both positives and negatives to the situation.

The idea comes from a combination of best practices and guidance from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. The administration says there’s no issue

with repeat offenders at SU. The administration says the Advocacy Center isn’t changing — it’s the same resource students are used to, and they shouldn’t be deterred from going.

Ed Weber, a Department of Public Safety senior detective, said the new practice will not deter students from using the center’s resources. If students are really concerned, Weber added, there are other available resources, such as Vera House.

Plaintiff in Tinker v. Des Moines discusses First Amendment

By Claire Moran CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Mary Beth Tinker was a preacher’s daughter and didn’t want to get in trouble.

But through personal experience with the civil rights movement and activism, Tinker gradually realized the importance of standing up for something.

In 1965, Tinker and other students at her junior high school wore black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War. The students were eventually suspended, leading to the landmark Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District. The Supreme Court ruled that students’ First Amendment rights didn’t stop at the schoolhouse door.

Tinker talked about her story and the stories of other students who have struggled with having their First Amendment rights recognized at the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium on Wednesday afternoon.

The lecture was a part of a crosscountry tour to encourage free speech and hear from students across the country. Tinker teamed up with Student Press Law Center lawyer Mike Hiestand for the tour.

She also addressed the intersection of free speech and social media, as well as how student rights have evolved since her case.

“Of course I thought we would lose the whole thing,” Tinker said of the Supreme Court case, since students aren’t supposed to go against their schools and principals.

The person who sent her to the principal’s office was her favorite mathematics teacher, she said.

“People kept c a l li ng me brave,” Tinker said. “But I didn’t feel so brave.”

College of Law students to offer veterans free legal advice, services

By Kate Capodanno CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Syracuse University law students will provide a “one-stop shop” for veterans seeking legal aid services and resume reviews this Saturday.

The event is called Valor Day, and was created by three College of Law students. The day exists to help veterans adjust into civilian life, said third-year law student and Valor Day co-founder, 1st Lt. Josh Keefe.

“Valor Day is a culmination of the efforts of VISION,” Keefe said. He described VISION as a student-run organization within the College of Law that seeks to provide legal services to local veterans.

Last spring, Keefe created

VISION with co-founders Tom Caruso and Nelson Bauersfeld, all veterans themselves.

Caruso said Syracuse’s veteran population was a vital reason why he started both VISION and Valor Day. He added that community feedback has been positive and that he hopes to make Syracuse a hub for veteran services.

“When I first came to Syracuse, one of the first things I noticed was that the law school is directly across from the VA Hospital,” said Caruso, also the executive director of VISION. His observation inspired the three co-founders to create VISION and create three goals: provide free legal services, act as a policy advocate for

their issues and help connect them to other resources.

Caruso said he sees both Valor Day and VISION as stepping stones toward a permanent legal clinic within the College of Law. Saturday will be the second Valor Day hosted by VISION, following the previous one that was held in March, Keefe said. He added that in March, the organization had more people attend than they anticipated, with more than 80 participating veterans and their families.

Because of this, Keefe said VISION improved the appointment process and gathered more attorneys for this Saturday, which they are “hoping will alleviate the bot-

tlenecking” of veterans waiting to speak with a lawyer.

John Powers, an attorney who is volunteering at the event, said the program is similar to a pro bono clinic, where attorneys volunteer their time to provide free legal services.

Powers, also a veteran, said he can relate to and find common ground with the veterans. This can help them with their legal problems, he said.

“With many veterans, there are trust issues with respect to civilians or anybody they don’t know,” Powers said. “So the fact that I have gone through what they have gone through, and we both have a common military experience, helps to overcome some of those trust issues.”

He said he also runs his own monthly pro bono clinic for veterans through the Volunteer Lawyers Project of Onondaga County Inc. Sally Curran, the project’s executive director, said after the Valor Day in March, the attendance at Powers’ clinics have been “incredibly high.”

Both Powers and Curran are hosting an orientation Thursday for the law students that will be participating in Valor Day. Curran said they are providing sensitivity training so the students can familiarize themselves with the culture from which the veterans are coming, as well as a basic overview of the procedure that will be used on Saturday. kacapoda@syr.edu

Revamped constitution promotes interior change to make SA more effective

B

en Jones doesn’t crack codes, he creates them.

As the first member of the Student Association to tackle revamping the governing body’s entire constitution since 1998, Jones is taking real action to solve the organization’s noticeable inefficiency. He is not fashioning lofty promises, but instead penning potential, visible reform.

At Monday’s SA meeting, Jones, the organization’s parliamentarian, presented the Committee on Administrative Operations’ draft of what it believes SA’s constitution should become.

In a vibrant blue collared shirt and orange tie, Jones proved to be more than just a keeper of constitutional coding — he is now also its maker.

The draft promotes effective change in several current problem areas, including a better outline of how disciplinary actions within the organization will be handled.

But, two particular aspects may truly make the organization more capable of its studentserving goals: the creation of a speaker of the assembly position and the forced re-vote

R ACHAEL BARILL ARI

campus watchdog ability of the president.

It’s time the general assembly gains a level of autonomy from the rest of the organization. Jones said his goal behind creating the speaker complies with this concept by allowing the assembly to take independent actions with its own leadership.

The speaker would now set the agenda for and be the leader of weekly assembly meetings instead of the president.

“If the assembly begins to have its own power and can organize policies that it wants, go in a direction it wants, then that makes assembly meetings more relevant,” Jones said.

Though this sense of relevance and selfdetermined leadership will hopefully allow the assembly to function with greater power,

the most important outcome of the speaker position is the betterment of the presidency.

By removing “procedural concerns from the president’s plate,” the president can focus on broader initiatives for the entire organization, Jones said.

In the context of Jones’ suggested progressive presidency also comes a forced assembly re-vote feature. As the leader of the association elected by the entire student body, the president’s vision for SA should be more clearly enforceable.

Jones’ concept may deliver exactly that.

His recommendation will allow a piece of legislation that is passed by the assembly to be forcibly revisited if the president feels “the action was wrong or it’s not the direction the organization as a whole should go in,” Jones said. After reconsidering the legislation, the assembly would need to pass it by a two-thirds vote to be finalized.

This will encourage the president to more clearly outline what his or her goals are at the start of the term.

The proposed language does not allow the president to force reconsideration if the assembly does not pass a piece of legisla-

tion. In the next several weeks of assembly approval, it would be wise to include this feature if members want presidential visions to be more effectively enacted.

It is imperative that the assembly adopts Jones’ proposal before the SA elections begin on Nov. 11. For the new constitution to be ratified, the student body must vote in favor of it as a referendum on the ballot.

Jones said his proposals are not a reaction to past issues within the organization.

Rather, it is a response to consistent concerns he has witnessed throughout his SA career. He plans to revamp the rest of the organization’s codes in the near future.

“I truly believe that by changing how we work on the inside we can make what we do on the outside that much better and that much more effective,” Jones said.

Though his ideas are credible, it is now up to the assembly to decide if Jones will continue his title as code maker, or if he will remain as the keeper of existing inefficiency.

Republicans should put partisanship aside, focus on human necessity U.S. politicians should put partisanship aside and further consider the hunger issues plaguing America.

Last week, Congressional Republicans approved a nearly $40 billion cut from the federal food stamp program. These Republicans say cutting funding from this program will alleviate the country’s debt issue.

Despite these claims, it is irresponsible to consider making cuts to a program that is essential to the most rudimentary and primary aspect of life: the ability to eat.

The country is not adequately dealing with this issue, according to a report about food stamps and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, conducted this year by the Institute of Medicine.

The food stamp program is already restricted in terms of who is eligible and the types of food available. It

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board

would not be reasonable to further limit the program.

In fact, the program is a necessity, particularly in the lives of Central New Yorkers.

In Onondaga County, among the working poor, dependency on food stamps has increased by 50 percent since the onset of the recession in 2008, according to county data.

Because of this, leadership is needed to prevent the onset of potentially detrimental cuts to a necessary program. Two elected officials have taken this step.

Both Central New York members in the U.S. House of Representatives, Democrat Daniel Maffei and Republican Richard Hanna, did not support cuts to the

food stamp program.

Although the majority of Republicans supported the cut, Hanna stood with the 15 Republicans who opposed it.

It is notable that Hanna is putting his party’s beliefs behind what is right for his constituents. Other Republicans should follow suit and put partisanship aside. They should not cut the federal food stamp program in what they think is an easy effort to diminish national debt.

In the end, it is highly unlikely that the bill will pass through the Democratcontrolled Senate. And if it ever reached him, President Barack Obama has said he would veto the bill.

The basic necessity of food and nourishment trumps the country’s financial problems. House Republicans cannot place the issue of national debt onto the backs of the nation’s impoverished.

SCRIBBLE

Despite ongoing controversy, e-cigarette serves as part of young adulthood If you haven’t noticed, there has always been a bit of an anti-tobacco stigma in the air.

The newest thing to hate in the United States is the e-cigarette, which is brewing up some conversation among tobacco industry protestors and the Food and Drug Administration. The Daily Orange ran a front-page article last week summarizing the situation and listing points of emphasis by the FDA and New York State lawmakers about the dangers of possibly toxic ingredients that these e-cigarettes may or may not contain.

For these “health” organizations like the FDA, it was never too early to get a jump on that inevitable nanny legislation. They’re

already setting out plans for marketing and product restrictions for the e-cig in the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, no definitive evidence has proven that they are any worse than the traditional cigarette. But, of course, they produce smoke so they must be the equivalent of hell on earth.

I find it rather puzzling that after decades of advocating for a cigarette-free world, anti-smoking organizations that have jumped on the anti-e-cig bandwagon have taken no time to acknowledge the significance of a revolutionary alternative with no tobacco.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR by moving to a rather innovative system of vaporized nicotine to get the satisfaction without the tar, chemicals and tobacco. But that just wasn’t enough.

A CBS news article quoted an FDA representative as saying, “People, especially kids, are being led to believe that e-cigarettes are a safe alternative, but they are highly addictive and can deliver strong doses of nicotine.”

I find that statement somewhat interesting, since that is both exactly what they are and exactly what they are intended to do.

Yes, kids under 18 ideally wouldn’t be smoking anything, but I have a feeling that the future holds high taxes, crippling regulation and unfair marketing restrictions for e-cig companies that are trying to, yes, make money like any industry, but also change the way the world smokes for the better. And it’s all going to be under the guise of “protecting our youth.” Gag. But that isn’t the point. What ever happened to parenting?

What ever happened to teaching your kids what is good and bad for them? When did everyone just agree that the government is going to start deciding what is best for our offspring? It is the job of the

Misbehaving has always been a part of being a kid. I know adults who have told me their childhood stories of creeping around in graveyards at night and playing awful pranks on their neighbors’ homes.

Ideological warfare

By Tamara Rasamny

A

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

fter being thrown into the national spotlight after false reports surfaced about its new master’s program, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is clarifying the focus behind the degree.

An Associated Press article reported that the program offered a degree in “drone warfare.” But the program, formally called the Master of Science in Unmanned and Autonomous Systems Engineering, is not related to warfare in any way, said Nickolas Macchiarella, chair of the aeronautical science department at ERAU. “We do not have a master’s in drone warfare or anything related to warfare,” he said in an email.

ERAU is the first school of its kind to offer a Master of Science in Unmanned and Autonomous Systems Engineering, Macchiarella said.

The program, which currently has four students, started this fall and is listed under the school’s college of engineering, said Charles Reinholtz, a professor and chair of the department of mechanical engineering at ERAU. The program requires 30 credits, according to the ERAU website.

Reinholtz said he has encountered protesters who thought the program was associated with the drone strikes happening in the Middle East. He has also received feedback from students who have seen protesters, he said.

“The department is very broadly based, covering topics such as unmanned boats, autonomous underwater vehicles and ground vehicles,” Reinholtz said.

Reinholtz said an autonomous system being used inside a car is demonstrated when a car skids and has the technology to reposi-

a letter to volunteers and anyone interested about the issue. The letter claims the practice will “discourage victims from using the Advocacy Center as the resource it was intended to be” and that it “is no longer a confidential service” for SU students.

The letter calls on students to voice concerns about the center if they feel it’s necessary to do so. The students who created the letter also plan on organizing a meeting to discuss what’s been happening with the center.

Olivia McVoy, a sophomore social work major who signed the letter, said it’s a long, emotional process for someone to gather the courage to tell his or her story.

Some people might just want to explain what happened and then figure out what kind of assistance they can get, said McVoy, who’s also a volunteer at the center.

“It should be 100 percent up to the victim as to what happens to their information,” she said. “If they want to reveal the name of the perpetrator and the location of the attack, I feel that it should be their decision.”

After misleading reports on drone program, university officials clarify misconceptions

tion itself. Within the university’s program, there is also a focus on autonomous aircraft, he said.

Students in the program are equipped to work for companies such as Ford Motor Co., Honda Motor Co., Tesla Motors and Caterpillar Inc., he said.

As one of the program’s developers, Reinholtz said it was created because students have shown interest in the topic and companies have found the technology lucrative.

Admission requirements for the program include having a bachelor’s degree in an ABET accredited engineering program, international equivalent or closely related engineering discipline; a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0; completion of the Graduate Record Examination; and completion of the application before the deadline.

Some classes that are offered in the program include ME

503: “Unmanned and Autonomous Vehicle Systems,” EE 528: “Sensors and Data Links” and SYS 505: “System Safety and Certification,” according to the school’s website.

Reinholtz also said he favors hands-on, project-based classes where students and professors have to work together.

“We have

to try and solve problems together and we are on the same team,” he said. “It is just a fun environment to be in and I enjoy getting to know the students like that.” twrasamn@syr.edu

Eric McGriff, another student who signed the letter and a volunteer at the center, said students have told him that they won’t report anything if they don’t feel what’s said at the center will stay there.

McGriff, a junior political philosophy and women and gender studies major, said he’s speaking on his own behalf and not for the Advocacy Center. He said he’s not being told to speak for the center, either.

Advocacy Center Director Janet Epstein did not accept a request for an interview, and directed all questions about the new practice to the interim senior vice president and dean of student affairs.

The idea of using general surveys and details to help law enforcement and advocates isn’t unheard of — if it is being done in a way that ensures confidentiality and anonymity for a victim, said Jennifer Marsh, the vice president for victim service at RAINN. RAINN, the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, is the country’s largest anti-sexual violence organization.

“There’s certainly precedence, in general, for using patterns of incidents to try and to develop risk reduction or prevention strategies,” she said.

Marsh said she couldn’t speak about SU specifically without seeing exactly what and how data is being provided.

Victims should be informed, she said, if their information is being used for research purposes.

Randi Bregman, executive director of Vera House, said while it’s “wonderful” that the university is trying to be proactive about sexual assault on campus, this new practice could create some complexities.

“From our perspective, there’s a little bit of complexity due to the Advocacy Center not having what we knew to understand as confidentiality in the past,” she said.

Vera House was not involved in creating the new practice, but was later brought into the conversation with the university, she said.

Before this new practice, Bregman said Vera House would sometimes refer students to the Advocacy Center since it had a similar confidentiality policy in which no details were shared or reported to other parties.

“We take confidentiality very seriously, and that means any aspect in the story that could tie it back to a person. So I think the university’s effort to make sure they’re

reporting has created some additional challenges as to how the Advocacy Center responds,” she said.

In terms of the practice of eliminating repeat offenders, Bregman said this is “a very worthy and important effort” that can be accomplished for cases that are brought into the system.

“But for those cases where people say their lives are going to be ruined, and they just want someone to talk to, I would like to be sure their confidentiality is protected,” she said.

Still, Bregman said she thinks there are a lot of positive aspects to the university’s “renewed attention to this issue.” Eliminating repeating offenders and not underreporting assault cases are issues that other campuses are struggling with, she said.

“This is not the only campus in the country trying to sort this out. This is happening everywhere,” Bergman said. “The good thing is that we’re not trying to sweep sexual assault under the rug.” mhnewman@syr.edu @MerNewman93 dmsegelb@syr.edu @dylan_segelbaum

cultural differences in attitudes toward tobacco when it comes to international students, and added that SU would take these differences into account with the decision.

Some students appear skeptical whether the university should further control smoking.

“If you look around, so many people are smoking, so how could you control that? And it’s legal,” said Ben Martines.

kind and compassionate world” by telling their stories.

After the lecture, she and Hiestand answered questions about her case, its implications today and how young people face new First Amendment challenges.

Alex Amico, a freshman broadcast and digital journalism major, asked Tinker how the First Amendment should be applied in instances of conflicting free speech rights.

He cited an example of a court case in which a student wore an anti-gay T-shirt to school on the day of the school’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender club’s Day of Silence.

The main problem, Tinker said, is hate speech and the question of where to draw the line.

Hiestand, the lawyer, said the line can be based on the “Tinker standard” — speech that’s unlawful or disrupts the educational environment.

Zhan Zhao, a sophomore mathematics major who said she did not smoke, appeared to agree with Martines’ view.

“Students should be allowed to smoke as long as they’re not bothering anybody,” she said.

She added that even if the university did ban tobacco on campus, students would probably smoke regardless.

If the university ends up prohibiting tobacco use, services that help smokers quit would be ramped up, Dennison said. One program designed to help students stop smoking is Quit and Stay Quit Monday, he said.

Said Dennison: “We need to give people an opportunity to prepare for a tobaccofree campus.” zdschwei@syr.edu

“I’ve experienced firsthand how young people’s rights are not respected. The children have to pay the price of policies they had no part in making.”

“It was just really cool that we had someone speak here who struck the single greatest blow for free speech in public schools in American history,” Amico said.

Tinker ended by telling students that she hopes they can speak up for what they believe in, too.

“You have your own issues as for standing up for rights,” she said. “I hope that you can also help kids stand up for their rights.” clmoran@syr.edu

Sailing enthusiast invents portable, foldable sailboats, co-launches company

wo summers ago, Anthony DiMare visited New York City to spend time with his girlfriend. He wanted to take her sailing — a hobby he picked up at age 14. But he became frustrated when he couldn’t find a sailboat rental store with reasonable prices.

He thought the only solution was to invent a portable sailboat that he could take with him everywhere. Now, almost a year and a half later, he’s close to achieving that dream.

He discovered a “wildly successful” Kickstarter page that funded a portable, foldable, origami-esque kayak called

“Why don’t I put two of those together with some carbon fiber tubes, throw a mast on it and some rudders, and I’ve got a sailboat that can fit into two suitcases,” said DiMare, a senior mechanical engineering major. “That was the ‘Aha!’ moment.”

But it needed a name. DiMare started with “regatta,” a sporting event consisting of a series of boat or yacht races, and then “portable.” His roommate fused the two words together and created the name for DiMare’s invention: Regattab le.

“If I had really put some time into it, I probably would have incorporated my last name, which means ‘of the sea’ in Italian, but I didn’t think of that at the time and I had already moved on,” DiMare said.

Originally from Hopkinton, Mass., DiMare grew up around sailing. His first job was as an assistant maintenance repairman with a local boating company, helping out with odd jobs. When repairing certain parts of the ships, he said he had to climb under the hull into cramped, sweaty spaces that no one else could fit into.

But that didn’t deter him from learning to love the makings of a sailboat.

During high school, he advanced within the company and became the head main-

tenance worker, sometimes designing and repairing entire sections of sailboats. Then, he became a summer camp counselor for a sailing camp, furthering his love for working on the water.

Sailing became a part of his life that he wasn’t quite ready to give up when he became a mechanical engineering student.

But it wasn’t until he created Regattable that he realized he could have a potential career in it.

“Where people would think I learned a lot of what I did didn’t really stem from this,” he said. “I learned most of this through a company internship two summers ago, and I learned almost none of it

“It’s green, but it’s a big advancement in the boating world.”

in school.”

Regarding the design process, everything was either self-taught or learned through summer internships, with the exception of skills from his minor in the School of Information Studies. DiMare is a part of the IDEA program, and credits it

with helping him learn the business side of his project.

Although DiMare created the concept of a foldable, portable sailboat, he cofounded the business side of Regattable with Nick Poorman, a recent computer science graduate from the State University of New York at Oswego. The two met last fall at a weekend startup entrepreneur event. DiMare asked him to come on board and help with the technology side of his business.

Now, Regattable is Poorman’s full-time job, and he’s excited to see it become a tangible product.

“Sailing has been around since the Vikings, so it’s not anything new,” Poorman said. “But we haven’t begun using our space-age engineering to build new boats. We’re still building them like the Vikings did.”

Wednesday marked the national sailboating competition America’s Cup. Team USA won by sailing a cabana sailboat, similar in design to Regattable.

While classic sailboats generally have one hull, cabanas have two. Thinking of this victory, DiMare and Poorman are excited for the future of the company.

Though the product is still in its early stages, Poorman said it has come a long way from when DiMare first conceptualized it. It has won awards, including

Zinda Fusion transcends traditional dance styles

By Kalia Zell-Barrow CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Zinda Fusion Dance Team is breaking barriers.

Syracuse University’s Zinda Fusion is a team of dancers that maintains a base of Indian Bollywood music and dance. They then combine that with other genres like hip-hop, Latin, modern and classical music. Zinda means “alive” or “lively,” which the team certainly demonstrates with its energetic and diverse members, performances and ambitions.

On Saturday, Zinda Fusion will perform at the New York India Festival at the New York

State Fairgrounds. This event is the largest Indian cultural festival in the state, showcasing and celebrating Indian food, décor, art, music, dance and more. There will even be a wedding booth where visitors can dress up as traditional Indian brides or grooms and take pictures.

Zinda Fusion will be performing a traditional, Indian-style dance inside the Horticulture building at 12:20 p.m.

“Just wanting to be there” is all it takes to be a part of Zinda Fusion, said Khamini Harinarain, a choreographer and junior civil engineering major.

The only prerequisite to join is passion, so

the group welcomes members from a broad range of backgrounds. Dance skill levels among members range from little, none to years of experience. The dance team’s goal is to craft the most enjoyable performances possible for spectators, so planning always starts with the future audience in mind, whether it’s predominantly students, the local community or an Indian audience.

Next, team leaders cut and edit the music they want for the routine, then work with the dancers to choreograph unique moves. The team — composed of 16 members — practices three times a week on campus. The members truly collaborate, feeding off of each others’ ideas, experimenting with fusion and, most importantly, pushing each other to make it all work.

“Practices give me a reason to get out of bed on the weekends and are fun and effective exercise,” said dancer and choreographer Shefali Haldar, a senior information management and technology and biology major.

Since its founding in 2006, Zinda Fusion has emerged as an involved and fun team. It brings a taste of home to campus for students from India while illuminating a sense of the country and its adaptability to all areas of life and art.

“It’s our little family,” said Haldar, a fouryear member.

Starting out as a club supported almost solely by the SU Department of Recreation Services, Zinda Fusion has started to gain support from its members. Additionally, recognition from both the school and local communities has inspired members of the team to think bigger and bolder. This year, they are planning more public and private performances, in addition to several competitive events, both in and out of the state.

Along with this weekend’s India festival, Zinda Fusion’s agenda also includes the upcoming DanceWorks Homecoming Showcase on Oct. 4, an event featuring many of the unique dance teams on campus. The event theme is “Around the World” and Zinda Fusion will represent Morocco. This event provides an opportunity to experience and support the extensive dance culture at Syracuse University.

The members of Zinda Fusion said they hope to accomplish something big this year. Their goal is to continue breaking the barriers of dance, music and culture through an explorative, open approach to the capabilities of a diverse dance team and globalized society. kzbarrow@syr.edu

Off the beaten path Picturesque Skaneateles presents relaxing weekend excursion

J

By Luke Rafferty VIDEO EDITOR

ust an easy 30 minutes from downtown Syracuse sits the hidden gem of the Finger Lakes region: the small, quaint town of Skaneateles.

Located on the north end of the Skaneateles Lake, the area has a small-town feel while still offering everything from dinner cruises to shops overlooking the water. The town is centered on a main street, which stretches for three blocks and is lined with antique shops, restaurants, ice cream parlors and a pub.

“Everyone works together to run business,” said Ryan Kavanaugh, a resident of

Skaneateles. “We all depend on each other.”

Kavanaugh works as a bartender at The LakeHouse Pub, situated on the main drag at 6 W. Genesee St. The pub offers live music on the weekends and happy hour on Fridays from 5-7 p.m. It boasts a sizable menu throughout the day and evening.

“We’re one of the only legit bars here,” Kavanaugh said. “Everywhere else is just a restaurant, so we get big crowds at night.”

Besides the bar, the street is filled with independent restaurants, most notably the Bluewater Grill, which is perched on the side of the water and offers stunning views of the lake. Bluewater has an extensive menu of seafood and traditional grill food, all served at

a reasonable price.

For dessert, Doug’s Ice Cream offers some of the most popular scoops in town. Located just off the main street, the store is only large enough for about one or two customers at a time.

Aside from the dining options, Skaneateles Lake is easily accessible for picnics or scenic post-dinner strolls. The entire area offers photographic views of the sunset.

“I just like the peacefulness of it on the water. It seems very quaint,” said Annie Stuchell, a visitor from Buffalo. She also said she appreciated that the city doesn’t have a McDonald’s or Starbucks, which adds to the classic, small-town feel.

New York State Fairgrounds When: Saturday 9 a.m. - 8 p.m.; Sunday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

How much: Two-day package: $45; Saturday: $35; Sunday: $20

Costumes are welcome at this local two-day anime convention, so come prepared. Events include more than 30 anime title screenings, various board and card games, art contests, a musical guest and a panel discussion with voice actors Cherami Leigh (“Soul Eater”), Bryan Massey (“Baccano!”) and Alexis Tipton (“Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos”).

The journey there affords refreshing views of rural farmlands, as well as shops and small produce stands along the way that can provide breaks during the drive. Skaneateles is also reachable by Centro bus, which offers a daily route to and from Syracuse.

Consider spending a nice, quiet evening with friends in Skaneateles this weekend. Or, for the perfect date night, pack the car and head out for the evening. From dining on the water to sharing drinks at The LakeHouse to a late night stroll on the pier, Skaneateles seems to have it all. lcraffer@syr.edu

Kissing Bench curse plagues student searching for quiet space on campus

I

have made a monumental discovery.

Now when I say monumental, I wouldn’t say it’s on par with the moon landing or Doritos Locos Tacos from Taco Bell. But it was life-changing.

I have found a new favorite bench.

Don’t get too excited about this. But do know that I’m now a man in love. It has everything I want in a bench. It has a view, it’s big enough for a man of my stature to lie down and it’s never occupied.

This is something that is almost unheard of at Syracuse University, where you have to aggressively guard your outlets at the library or wrestle people to death to get one of the coveted chairs facing the windows in Panasci Lounge.

But on my new favorite bench, I am blissfully alone and able to lie down and eat my bagel completely drenched in cream cheese.

It’s like an old Jewish man’s Narnia.

It was on one of these glorious bagel days that one of my friends walked by.

This friend then proceeded to reveal to me the real story, the deep, dark secret of the

making the product portable — was making it eco-friendly. The hulls are made of plastics that can be recycled and, thus, won’t fill up landfills. DiMare said Regattable is one of the

CHRISTIAN UNKENHOLZ

bench that I was sitting on — the kind of secret that truly tests the love of a man and his bench.

It was the legendary Kissing Bench.

For anyone who hasn’t been on one of those prospective student tours of the university where they tell you facts only your parents would find interesting, let me fill you in on the lore.

The Kissing Bench sits right outside the Hall of Languages. It’s made of stone and big enough for two people — or one very large man and his bagel — to sit comfortably.

According to legend, if you kiss your main squeeze on said bench, you apparently either get married, stay together forever or

both. Either way, it’s about as binding of a contract as anything the state of New York can draw up.

But apparently, the catch is that if you sit on this bench alone — as I have blissfully done many times before — then you die alone. Let that sink in a little. Alone. All by yourself. Your life becomes that Celine Dion song.

I’m a pretty superstitious person. To this day, I still avoid all cracks in the sidewalk to ensure the safety of my mom’s back. I make it a point to cross to the other side of the street if I see a black cat. That last one is both superstition and safety, because cats either find me incredibly arousing or very, very threatening — two emotions that elicit less than ideal interactions between felines and myself.

So when I heard I was cursed to die alone, things became mighty bleak for ole Christian Unkenholz. What was the point of living if I could never make my family and friends decide whether they want to eat mediocre fish or chicken at my wedding reception?

I wished I had more specifics about this curse. I also wondered what the appeal process was for such curses. Was there a way to counteract it?

Days later, I got a text — from the same friend who informed me about my now-cursed life — that there was a girl sitting alone on the Kissing Bench.

“A girl,” I thought. “I can find her and we can both die alone together!”

Clearly I had not thought out this paradox, but I left to go find her anyway. When I passed the bench, there was no girl to be found. I sat down with my bagel, defeated.

A glob of cream cheese fell onto my shirt, which I promptly scooped up with the remnants of my bagel. I ate it before realizing I was in public and being watched by a gaggle of women. Maybe curses are the least of my problems.

first companies to use these materials in the marine industry.

“It’s green, but it’s a big advancement in the boating world,” he said. “The big problem with boats is you use them for 10, 20 years and then you move onto another one. Your boat rots and sits there, but your hull never degrades. They’ll sit in a landfill forever

because they’re made of fiberglass, which never breaks down.”

Graduating soon, DiMare said it’s hard to balance being a student and running a company with other activities like the ski team and spending time with his girlfriend.

Even with all the work, DiMare isn’t ready to stop — not when it’s still just the

beginning.

He dreams of shipping orders for Regattable worldwide. But what he really wants is to open a shop in SoHo, in New York City.

Then maybe, one day, he can sell portable sailboats to couples looking to go sailing around New York City.

The defense only allowed five total shots on Wednesday, two on-goal. Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre said he was pleased that his defense avoided a letdown after Friday’s 2-1 win at Duke.

“For a lot of programs, these midweek games can be difficult, sandwiched between two games,” McIntyre said. “I’m proud of the way the guys applied themselves tonight.”

UMass came into the game struggling to get the ball in the net. The Minutemen had tallied only three goals in eight games the entire season, and the Syracuse defense kept them off the board once again. Bono stressed that the team’s preparedness played a role in the win.

“We know everything about a team when they come in — from their stats, to what formation they play to what players play where,” Bono said. “But once that whistle blows, it doesn’t mean anything. They could have scored three goals all season and scored four tonight.”

Bono credited Brandon Albert for stepping in for the injured Skylar Thomas, saying he’s become a consistent regular starter.

The Orange had a scare midway through the first half when defender Jordan Murrell took a hit and spent several moments with his head facedown in the grass before being taken off the field.

His time on he bench was short-lived when he willed his way back for the last few minutes of the first half. Murrell said he didn’t want to let his team down by coming out, knowing he needed to aid the defensive effort.

“As I say all the time, we pride ourselves on getting clean sheets, we hate conceding goals,” Murrell said. “From the strikers, all the way down to the goalkeeper, we pride the ball out of the back of the net.”

McIntyre said that even though UMass has struggled to score goals, the Minuteman offense is still a threat. He was satisfied that his defenders were able to neutralize its aerial attack.

“UMass is a very honest, hardworking group,” McIntyre said. “I thought our goalkeeper, back four and the guys did a good job not just contesting that first ball, but I thought we did a good job of kind of rolling our sleeves up tonight and picking up those second balls.” sblum@syr.edu

WOM EN ’ S SO CCER

Lifelong bond with Berry brings Haenlin to Orange defense

By Austin Mirmina STAFF WRITER

Chelsea Berry sat in the family living room, cradling a younger Taylor Haenlin when Chelsea was 12 years old.

“Taylor was the first person Who: Clemson I ever babysat. I Where: SU Soccer Stadium can remember When: Today 7 p.m. holding her in my arms,” Berry said.

“She was pretty easy to handle.”

The evening hangout marked the beginning of a relationship between the two Lowville, N.Y., natives. Berry, who played for SU from 20062009, remained an influential figure throughout Haenlin’s childhood, acting as a mentor both on and off the soccer field.

Now a sophomore, Haenlin is blazing her own trail as a starting member of the Orange defense.

Haenlin, who learned from her experiences with Berry, has blossomed at the collegiate level. She has played an important role in anchoring a gritty SU defense, and her determination will be on display when Syracuse (4-5-1, 0-3-1 Atlantic Coast) faces Clemson (5-2-2, 2-1-0) on Thursday at 7 p.m., and Wake Forest (7-1-1, 2-1-1) on Sunday at noon at the SU Soccer Stadium.

Haenlin has always expressed enthusiasm about playing soccer, a sentiment she acquired while acting as the ball girl for Lowville Academy’s varsity program, Berry said. Berry, who played varsity for the Red Raiders, vividly remembers Haenlin’s eagerness to help during those team practices.

UP NEXT

“She was always the one on the sidelines that, you know, when all the other kids would be sitting on the balls, she would be running up and down the sidelines,” Berry said. “She did whatever she could to help. I thought she was always such an overachiever.”

As a sixth-grader at Lowville Academy, Haenlin sat in the school auditorium with the rest of the ball girls and fixed her eyes on the stage. She watched with great excitement as her role model Berry signed a Letter of Intent to play at Syracuse.

From that point, Haenlin knew she wanted to follow in Berry’s footsteps. Syracuse was her destination.

“I always wanted to be like her,” Haenlin said.

“Once she (signed), it really set an example and made me think that even though we are from a small town, we can still play at a high level.”

Berry was instrumental in SU’s recruitment of Haenlin. Berry developed a personal relationship with head coach Phil Wheddon, who took over the Orange in the spring of 2008, and praised Haenlin’s potential because of her athleticism and drive to succeed.

“Chelsea told me repeatedly about Taylor and how she wanted to play for Syracuse. Her family bled orange,” Wheddon recalled. “Chelsea was more of a mentor to Taylor, so it was good to have that connection.”

Haenlin stepped into an experienced lineup as a freshman and got exposed a few times because of the speed of play, Wheddon said. But Haenlin adjusted to the learning curve and played a pivotal role in defining SU’s sound

defensive identity.

This season, the Orange has relied on Haenlin’s experience at the center back position to complement an already solid defensive unit.

Wheddon referenced SU’s last game against Duke, when the leader of the defense, Kayla Afonso, suffered a hip pointer in the first half and did not return. Haenlin rallied the defense and stepped up in the second half, stifling the Blue Devils’ forwards.

Berry has yet to see her longtime friend play a game this season, as she’s been tending to her

2-month-old daughter Mareesa Lynn. But Berry is considering attending the game against Wake Forest on Sunday.

If she does, she’ll be reminded how much soccer has defined her cherished relationship with Haenlin.

“I remember when Taylor signed (with Syracuse). I went and watched her in the auditorium. … It was pretty emotional,” Berry said. “It made me realize how lucky we were to experience something like that.” awmirmin@syr.edu

“I tried to get him to switch,” Chaplick said. “I threw the bait out there. You know how you go fishing, you throw the bait out there? He didn’t bite.”

Instead, Broyld focused on quarterback.

After amassing more than 3,500 total yards and 48 touchdowns as a senior at Rush-Henrietta Senior High School in Henrietta, N.Y., he logged

“Just fooling around in drills, oh my God, he’d jump over himself every now and then.”

Buff Bowen

MILFORD (N.Y.) ACADEMY QUARTERBACKS COACH

686 total yards and 12 scores at Milford, splitting snaps with another quarterback.

He came to Milford with a run-first mindset and a throwing posture with the ball at his hip.

But he left with a clean form and a very tight spiral for someone with small hands, Bowen said.

Still, neither Bowen nor Chaplick expected Syracuse to keep Broyld at quarterback. He was too big, better suited to be a Southeastern Conference safety or outside linebacker, Chaplick said. After one year on offense, Chaplick expected the Orange to flip him.

Occasionally, Broyld would hop into the safety position for skeleton drills at Milford — mostly to prove that he could, Bowen said.

And when he did, he put on a show.

“Just fooling around in drills, oh my God,

he’d jump over himself every now and then,” Bowen said. “Even just doing 1-on-1s or (skeleton), he’d just take the field away. He was that good of an athlete.”

“If you jump to the other side of the ball,” Bowen would tell Broyld, “you’ll have every school in the country drooling.”

He was tough, too.

When approached at practice by patented instigating defensive tackle Dimitrius Smith — younger brother of New York Knicks guards J.R. and Chris Smith — Broyld didn’t back down, Bowen said. He stared Smith down face to face until Bowen could see in his eyes that Smith wanted nothing to do with Broyld.

Broyld never budged from his place in the backfield at Milford, either. Chaplick kept his preseason promise to allow Broyld to play quarterback. And Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone kept Broyld on offense — experimenting with him all over the field.

From running the Wildcat to taking pitches from the backfield and catching bubble screens in the slot, the Orange tried to find ways to get the ball in Broyld’s hands.

And while there were bumps in the road, it appears to have paid off. He has a position now.

His position. And he can do more for the Orange there than he can on defense.

That’s why Shafer told the seemingly petrified Broyld eight months ago that he wasn’t going anywhere.

“I probably would if I was the defensive coordinator,” Shafer told Broyld, “but I’m the head coach now, so we’re going to keep you on offense to get the ball in your hands.”

Shafer says Welsh improves, Reddish’s status in question

By Stephen Bailey and Trevor Hass THE DAILY ORANGE

Syracuse might be without cornerback Brandon Reddish when it hosts No. 3 Clemson in its Atlantic Coast Conference debut on Oct. 5, SU head coach Scott Shafer announced Wednesday.

“Brandon Reddish will probably be questionable for Clemson with a lower-leg injury,” Shafer said during the ACC coaches’ teleconference.

Reddish — who mixes in with Ri’Shard Anderson at cornerback opposite Keon Lyn — and starting defensive end Robert Welsh both missed the second half of SU’s 52-17 win against Tulane last week. Welsh, who had to be helped off the field and was unable to

“We’re coming out of a really physical game with North Carolina and I’m sure they had a lot of plays going into triple overtime.”

put any weight on his left leg, is returning to practice this week, Shafer said.

“Robbie Welsh is doing well,” Shafer said.

“We had a scare with him, but he’s back.”

Also returning to practice this week is offensive lineman Kyle Knapp, who suffered a head injury during training camp and has yet to play for the Orange this season.

Shafer said practices this week will focus primarily on lifting and running.

shot was saved by goalkeeper Nick Ruiz. Halis sprinted past UMass’ Danny Belza into the open field, but couldn’t corral a pass from Ekblom.

Twenty-two minutes in, the game was still scoreless — but Syracuse was on the verge of breaking through.

After Ruiz guessed correctly in making the stop on Perea’s penalty kick in the 24th minute, the SU midfielder got his goal seven minutes later. Off a corner kick from Jordan Murrell, Perea nodded the ball inside the right post to put

He was not asked about senior kicker Ross Krautman, who will have season-ending surgery on a hip-related injury and is eligible to apply for a medical hardship waiver.

VT, GT ready for Thursday showdown When Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech square off in Atlanta on Thursday night, they will both be coming off five days of rest and a grueling game last Saturday.

Georgia Tech rallied against North Carolina, while Virginia Tech barely survived in triple overtime against Marshall.

This Saturday’s game is on ESPN at 7:30 p.m., and could have long-term implications as both teams jockey for the ACC Coastal Division championship.

“It’s just really tough to come off five days’ rest,” Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson said at the teleconference Wednesday. “And it’s hard on the kids.”

The Yellow Jackets trailed 20-7 in the second quarter against the Tar Heels. They scored 21 unanswered points the rest of the way, though, remaining undefeated on the year.

The Hokies, meanwhile, battled Marshall in front of more than 64,000 fans as rain poured down at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va. Virginia Tech survived an ugly game, scoring with 3:09 left in regulation and outlasting the Thundering Herd in triple overtime.

“We’re coming out of a really physical game with North Carolina,” Johnson said, “and I’m sure they had a lot of plays going into triple overtime.”

Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer said at the teleconference that he expects a serious challenge ahead.

“Well, as you can imagine, your whole week is sped up,” Beamer said, “trying to cover a lot of things in a short period of time.”

Syracuse ahead.

“This was a potential — coaching cliché — banana skin, and I was proud of the way that the guys approached this game” Ian McIntyre

ziniu chen | staff photographer ROBERT WELSH gave Syracuse a scare when he left with an injury against Tulane. In the ACC coaches’ teleconference, Scott Shafer said he is making good progress.

Beamer said Georgia Tech’s option offense is completely different than Marshall’s offense. He added that 32 of the 69 players traveling with Virginia Tech are first- or second-year players.

Despite the challenges, though, Beamer believes his players are excited for the opportunity to play on national television.

Beamer said: “It’s certainly being on national TV on Thursday night that’s different for your kids.”

Ebron impresses early in season for UNC Eric Ebron reached up with his left hand, tapped the ball to himself and corralled it for a touchdown. The touchdown reception came late in the first quarter in North Carolina’s 28-20 loss against Georgia Tech.

That was Ebron’s first touchdown of the year, but he’s been a consistent force at tight end all season. The 6-foot-4 Ebron has 13 receptions and exactly 200 receiving yards through three games.

His 15.4 yards per reception ties him with Miami’s Clive Walford for most in the ACC among tight ends.

“The guy is really talented,” North Carolina head coach Larry Fedora said at the teleconference. “I mean, he really is.”

Fedora said Ebron has a knack for making extremely difficult plays. He said he does a great job concentrating on the ball and not worrying about his body.

“He’s usually getting the tar knocked out of him,” Fedora said.

Ebron, along with quarterback Bryn Renner, has been a bright spot for an offense that’s trying to re-find an identity after the departure of current Cincinnati Bengals budding star Giovani Bernard.

Ebron has been Renner’s favorite target so far. No other player has more than eight receptions for North Carolina, and only one player besides Ebron has more than 100 yards receiving.

Said Fedora: “He’s definitely a threat in every situation that we’re in.”

“We were very fluid up front, practiced our set pieces yesterday and we did well,” midfielder Stefanos Stamoulacatos said.

The Orange struck again with just more than two minutes remaining in the half, when UMass’ Josh Jess whiffed on a clear attempt in the box. Stamoulacatos was there waiting and drilled the ball into the back of the net for a 2-0 lead.

Out of the half, Syracuse converted on another set piece goal when Juuso Pasanen headed in his first-career goal off a cross from Murrell. Not even three minutes into the second frame and the Orange had given itself a three-goal cushion.

From there, the Orange coasted. Nanco and Stamoulacatos easily executed their one-touch passes to maneuver around the exhausted Minutemen and into the attacking third, where the Orange had a handful of open looks in the second half.

None of them went in, but McIntyre was more than satisfied.

“As the game wore on, we created some chances tonight,” he said. “On another night, we probably do get a fourth. Got to be happy.

“I’m proud of the way the guys applied themselves tonight and ultimately, job done.”

Syracuse cruises to 3-0 win over UMass

By Phil D’Abbraccio ASST. COPY EDITOR

Speed kills, and Massachusetts was the victim Wednesday night.

“We have a lot of speed up front and try to use it a lot,” Syracuse midfielder Nick SYRACUSE 3 Perea MASSACHUSETTS 0 s“ aWi de. always tell (the forwards) to out run players and use their pace, so that helped. I think we did very well tonight.”

Utilizing its superior swiftness to its advantage, the Orange (6-2-0, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) had no problems cruising past Massachusetts (0-8-1) to a 3-0 victory on Wednesday before an SU Soccer Stadium crowd of 593. The Minutemen could not keep up with the SU attack, and Syracuse extended its winning streak to three games.

UMass came in having scored just three goals thus far this season, but the Orange didn’t take

the Minutemen lightly.

“They made life very difficult, and we knew that coming in,” said head coach Ian McIntyre.

“This was a potential — coaching cliché — banana skin, and I was proud of the way that the guys approached this game and ultimately found a way.”

Because the Minutemen defended with plenty of manto-man coverage, the Orange “dragged” them around the field, McIntyre said. Once Syracuse broke the Minutemen’s initial press, space opened up and SU was able to bring the ball into the attacking third and create opportunities.

Syracuse’s offense had some chances early, but it was unable to score in the first 30 minutes.

Alex Halis ran down a pass in the corner seven minutes in, but his cross was ahead of Emil Ekblom. Chris Nanco flew by the Minutemen’s back line down the left wing soon after, but his

Broyld finds role after pressure to switch sides at Milford

N

EW BERLIN, N.Y. — There’s a reason Ashton Broyld was scared when Scott Shafer sat him down in his office in January.

For Broyld’s entire year at Milford Academy before coming to Syracuse, coaches suggested that he become either a linebacker or a safety.

“I could see that kid going in the weight room, putting on 20 pounds of muscle and having ‘NFL’ written across his forehead,” Milford quarterbacks coach Buff Bowen said.

Bowen worked with Broyld and the rest of the quarterbacks every day during Broyld’s season at Milford.

in the middle anyway And every day, Bowen and the rest of the coaching staff watched the then-235-pound Broyld work out at a position they thought was not his most promising. Fellow Milford-toSyracuse product Dyshawn Davis had switched from wide receiver to safety the year before. Yet, despite

frequent urging from Bowen, head coach Bill Chaplick and others, Broyld decided to remain a quarterback.

Two years later, he’s no longer a quarterback, but he still plays on the offensive side of the ball. The sophomore H-back has become arguably the most explosive and talented player on the team, playing a position originally designed to get the ball in his hands. And he’s thriving.

What seemed like an inevitability to Bowen and Chaplick — Syracuse turning Broyld into a linebacker or safety — hasn’t happened.
