Tickets for the Oct. 9 One World Concert — a public talk by the Dalai Lama and a festival-style concert in the Carrier Dome featuring more than 20 musical artists — will be available for students to purchase online on Friday at 2 p.m.

Tickets will be $25 for all Syracuse University and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students. Students will be able to purchase one ticket at the discounted price, said Chuck Merrihew, vice president of administration and engagement of advancement and external affairs at SU. There will be 5,000 discounted tickets available. The concert itself will hold about 30,000 attendees, Merrihew said. Students will be seated sequentially in the general admission student area of the Dome (sections 118 – 128).

Student ticket sales will end Sunday, Sept. 9 at midnight.

The general public will be able to purchase tickets on Monday, Sept.

10 at 10 a.m., with prices ranging from $ 35 to $ 55, Merrihew said.

Gold circle tickets for the first few rows will be $200. Those tickets will be available at ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets, the Carrier Dome Box Office and by phone at 888-DOMETIX. Ticket proceeds from the benefit concert will help fund a new scholarship named for Bassel Al Shahade, an SU graduate student killed in Syria in May while making a documentary film on the country’s violence.

The event, titled “Resolving Conf lict in One World through Global Consciousness,” will begin at 7 p.m. on Oct. 9. The Dalai Lama will speak about resolving conf lict through global consciousness, and more than 20 artists will then take the stage to perform an original

At the limit Enrollment increases produce uneven effects

f it seems like there are more freshmen on Syracuse University’s campus each year, it’s because there are.

From 2006 to 2010, full-time undergraduate enrollment increased by 11.8 percent and total enrollment increased by 10 percent, according to a report by the University Senate’s Ad Hoc Committee on Enrollment.

The additional revenue from tuition has primarily been used for two purposes: the increase of financial aid and the hiring of additional faculty, both to replace retired faculty and to fill new positions, said Eric Spina, vice chancellor and provost.

Additional money also paid for

CHANGING SPACES

facilities such as Newhouse III, Ernie Davis Hall, Dineen Hall and the Life Sciences Building, as well as maintenance and improvements to existing facilities, said Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs.

The university has hired more faculty members at a time when many institutions have either frozen hiring or laid off, Quinn said.

A look into the effects Increased enrollment has had an uneven effect across campus, with some areas feeling the crunch and others left unaffected.

A lack of clear communication between administration and some university faculty, as well as difficulty in compiling and analyzing

Due to increasing enrollment, SU has had to be increasingly creative with how it houses students on campus. In recent years, students have lived in the Sheraton Hotel, and study spaces and lounges in residence halls have been converted into rooms, said PJ Alampi, chair of the Student Association’s Student Life Committee.

pertinent data, has further hampered SU’s efforts to understand the effects of increasing enrollment.

The first increases in enrollment can be traced back to 2005, when both planned increases and higher demand resulted in more students on campus. At the time, SU typically had an incoming class of about 2,600 students, but the university was able to handle more, said Don Saleh, vice president for enrollment management.

Around the same time, SU also experienced an increase in demand in the form of a “bump in yield,” which means more admitted students decided to enroll than the university anticipated. This unexpected boost increased enrollment by at least “a couple hundred” students, Saleh said.

Even when enrollment increases are intentional, hitting targets is difficult because of the number of factors involved. The administration must make the numbers for both the individual colleges and the university as a

Buddhists eagerly anticipate Dalai Lama

For the past two years, Lily Fein has watched videos of the Dalai Lama on Netflix.

She watched him engage nations with profound speeches and discuss philosophical topics with simplicity.

She watched him again and again, but she never imagined she’d get the opportunity to see him in person.

“It almost hasn’t hit me yet that I’m going to actually be present when he’s there,” said Fein, vice president of the Student Buddhist Association at Syracuse University.

“To me, he represents another window into Buddhism — another way

to connect with the ideas.”

Fein, along with about 50 other SBA members, will have the opportunity to witness the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibet, speak in October during a two-day peace forum at SU. The Dalai Lama and more than 20 musical guests will engage the Syracuse community in talks about how to shift global consciousness toward peace.

The event is produced and sponsored by the One World Community Foundation, an organization established by SU trustee Samuel Nappi.

whole, Spina said. This year, the university hit its target enrollment number almost exactly, he said.

But these unplanned increases haven’t had a huge effect on the university, Spina said. When enrollment was a little high, the university had to provide additional support to some schools and colleges, but the issues were resolved in a way that didn’t decrease quality, he said.

Nonetheless, whether the growing number of students on campus has affected class sizes and strained faculty resources remains a hotly debated topic lacking a clear answer.

Mary Lovely, an economics professor and chair of the USen’s Ad Hoc Committee on Enrollment, said the committee spent almost a year studying the impact of increased enrollment on class sizes.

Throughout the process, the committee was hampered by an inability to find the data needed.

SU doesn’t keep track of how many classes faculty teach, making it hard to tell whether more students put a strain on faculty. Difficulty in measuring cross-listed classes and scheduling idiosyncrasies makes it hard to determine the effect of increased enrollment on class size, Lovely said.

“Last fall, we spent most of the semester working with the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment, the Office of Management and Budget, some very smart people who sincerely tried,” she said. “It can’t be done.”

Lovely and the rest of the committee concluded in the report that during the 2006 to 2010 enrollment increase, “academic leadership could not monitor changes in class size because of an inability to confidently count the number of

news@ da ilyor a nge.com

students in classes with existing data resources.”

Lovely said some tension between faculty members and the chancellor in recent years has occurred, but that a collective approach to enrollment is needed to move forward.

“The chancellor has really pushed Scholarship in Action, but as a result, some of us feel we’ve lost sight of what’s happening in the classroom,” she said. “In some ways, this (report) was a much needed reminder of how the classroom is central to what we do.”

A look into the classroom Despite the lack of data available for the university as a whole, anecdotal evidence and individual department data point to increased class sizes in some areas.

The size of the university’s First Year Forum classes increased from 15 to 16 students in the last few years, and non faculty members started teaching these sections, said Kandice Salomone, an associate dean at the College of Arts and Sciences.

Arts and Sciences also increased the number of academic counselors, adding four full-time and one part-time counselor in the past two and a half years, Salomone said.

Specific departments in Arts and Sciences have also experienced the effects. The number of students taking classes in the math department has increased by 17.43 percent since 2006 and 40.27 percent since 2003, said Eugene Poletsky, chair of the mathematics department.

“We have as many students in classrooms as fire marshals will allow,” Poletsky said. “If enrollment continues to grow at the same pace, it will be horrifying.”

Enrollment in large and small lower-level

class sections has increased by 27.26 percent and 56.85 percent, respectively, since 2003. The problem will be helped a little bit this year, as the department is in the process of hiring two new faculty members, Poletsky said.

The department is also running out of both classroom and office space, Poletsky said, and has lost many of its priority classrooms in the last few years. Poletsky said he has spoken to the administration about adding another math building and was told it was a possibility, but won’t happen in the next five or 10 years.

Poletsky maintains the mathematics department can’t wait that long for additional space or resources. Increased enrollment should mean more tuition coming into SU, but Poletsky said he doesn’t understand how the additional funds are spent.

“I don’t know where the money goes,” he said.

“But it’s certainly not being used to alleviate our problems.”

A look into the future Regardless of the rationale behind enrollment increases, many faculty members simply want to be informed and included in discussions about enrollment plans.

More than two-thirds of faculty surveyed by the USen committee agreed that the SU administration only marginally included or did not include campus members in discussions about enrollment planning. While decision-making is handled differently in each department, 42.4 percent of department chairs and program directors surveyed said they had not been consulted on enrollment changes.

The committee also noted the lack of enrollment data available to the campus community

and said the administration could do a better job of providing information.

Enrollment numbers are primarily discussed in one-on-one meetings with deans and associate deans, and with the senate budget committee, Spina said. But the administration has begun working on establishing strategies to make sure deans communicate these conversations to faculty, he said.

“We felt that we were interacting with individuals who were representing the colleges in broad ways, but it’s also incumbent on us to make sure we are ensuring those conversations are happening,” he said. “This (report) was a useful thing for us to see that not as many faculty as we would like felt that they were aware of these conversations.”

Spina said he doesn’t expect enrollment to continue to increase. SU has learned how to handle a 3,400-student freshman class, and all the resources are in place to support them in terms of housing, financial aid and classes, he said.

“At this point we’re not looking to get substantially larger,” Spina said. “The number we have is the number we’re going to stay with.”

Instead, SU is looking to increase enrollment among specific groups of students. As enrollment at community college grows, Saleh said he hopes to add a total of 100 transfer students in the next four or five years. The university is also focused on its retention and graduation rates, he said.

Going forward, it’s important that central administration and university staff continue to talk about enrollment numbers, Spina said.

“We need to work together,” he said. “We need to work with the deans and the department chairs to make certain that whoever wants to be part of this conversation or have input into it does.” jliannet@syr.edu

Campus needs to construct bike lanes in commuter areas The recently constructed bike lane on University Avenue from Genesee Street to Waverly Avenue is exciting for biking enthusiasts in the area.

As a way to connect the university and city communities, the bike lane is a step in the right direction.

But the new bike lane is not beneficial in terms of accommodating Syracuse University students and faculty who live in the East neighborhood.

People living in the East neighborhood may not feel inclined to ride their bikes to University Avenue if there is no safe or convenient way to do so.

The majority of those who come to Main Campus from other locations are traveling from the East neighborhood streets or South Campus. If these people want to take their bikes to campus, to them, the new bike lane on University Avenue is worthless.

Constructing one bike lane is not enough if university officials want to create a bike-friendly community. The university should begin planning and coordinating with the city to improve the bike lanes on the main streets

by the daily orange editorial board surrounding campus. This area would include Euclid and Comstock avenues, where most people would be traveling.

The parking on Euclid, the winter weather in Syracuse, and the width and condition of the roads would obviously need to be taken into consideration before moving forward with this plan.

Encouraging biking on campus is a commendable cause, but long-term plans need to be developed to encourage a university-wide biking system that would benefit other areas surrounding the campus.

One 24-year-old reality star is right where the traditional 1950s girl would’ve been. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi popped out her son, Lorenzo Dominic LaValle, on Aug. 26. The “Jersey Shore” star, best known for her first-season bar brawl and tendency to show off her “cooka,” is now in charge of a very fragile human life, along with her fiance Jionni LaValle.

Although Polizzi is a reality star paid millions of dollars to hang out at the Jersey Shore, we all have something in common with her right now.

The Marlboro, N.Y., native has just taken on a lot of responsibility. She’s trying to make sense out the twists and turns that come with adulthood while making everything up as she goes. A lot of us are doing that, although most of us without the baby.

It’s pretty hard for someone to separate from the kid he or she was and see the adult he or she has to become.

Last year, Polizzi was probably doing vodka shots with her roommates. Now, she has to feed her baby and plan a wedding.

non-existent, self-help books when I finally move from the Staten Island home I grew up in to some scary New York City apartment.

Polizzi is dealing with her new stage in life the way anyone growing up in the age of social media would: by tweeting about it. She tweeted her first picture of baby Lorenzo on Sept.

3 to her almost 5.7 million followers.

Although Polizzi waited over a week to tweet out a photo of her baby, that doesn’t mean she hasn’t been sharing other Twitpics since the birth. Almost all of her photos since Aug. 26 have been of herself. We’ve seen that Polizzi can fit into heels again. She’s slowly getting her “swag” back. But the girl that became famous for her “poof” doesn’t have time for her hair right now.

Polizzi’s social media image seems ridiculous and easy to mock. She clearly doesn’t need to share as many photos of leopard print anything or nude lip gloss as she does.

But most young adults in the 21st century are just kids at heart. When we leave school and join the real world, I’m willing to bet we’ll still be Instagramming overly artistic photos of our lunches, friends and skylines.

Our first move after having kids will probably be trying on our favorite pair of heels again, too.

So, don’t expect to see a Polizzi as the Holy Madonna anytime soon.

Code of conduct University of Colorado-Boulder allows handguns on campus

By Anna Giles

F

STAFF WRITER

or some college students in Colorado, pencils and notebooks may not be the only thing they’re carrying in their backpacks.

Officials at the University of Colorado-Boulder must comply with a state Supreme Court ruling from last March, which allows individuals with stateissued concealed carry permits to carry handguns on university property. This means students can now bring firearms on campus and into classrooms.

“I believe we have taken reasonable steps to adhere to the ruling of the Colorado Supreme Court, while balancing that with the priority of providing a safe environment for our students, faculty and staff,” said CU-Boulder Chancellor Philip DiStefano in a press release.

According to an analysis done by the University of Colorado, only 0.6 percent of the faculty, staff and

students on campus possess a CCP. The report also said a full 96 percent of CU-Boulder undergraduate students living in the residence halls are under the age of 21, and thus not eligible for a CCP. To carry a concealed firearm in Colorado, the holder must be at least 21 years of age, complete an FBI background check and prove either previous military or police experience, according to the press release.

Many students at CU-Boulder said allowing firearms on campus makes them feel unsafe and “uncomfortable.” One professor, Jerry Peterson, threatened to cancel classes if he learned students were carrying guns, according to an article published in The Huffington Post.

But, according to DiStefano, this action would break the contract professors signed with the university. When asked by The Daily Orange about this issue, Peterson refused to comment.

Although students with a concealed carry permit are allowed to bring firearms to class, university officials will either be relocated to university apartment housing or be released from the residence hall contract without financial penalty. Officials said the new regulation will only affect a small number of individuals, according to the press release.

CU Board of Regents policy prevents the open display of weapons like guns and knives, but anyone with a permit may carry a concealed weapon into most CU-Boulder buildings.

Permission to carry concealed firearms on the CUBoulder campus comes amid a nationwide debate over gun control. Former University of Colorado student James Holmes opened fire in an Aurora, Colo. movie theater, where 58 people were injured and 12 were killed at a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” in July. aegiles@syr.edu

“He has found a way to put these very deep concepts into simple speech, so as a result, one tends to remember things he’s said,” Shoultz said.

Tenzing Chonzom, a Buddhist student who was raised in India, has seen the Dalai Lama speak on multiple occasions. Chonzom said she learned life lessons from his latest conference in Washington, D.C., where he stressed positive thinking and good morals.

“When he speaks, it’s not about religion, it’s about being a good human being,” said Chonzom, a junior policy studies major.

The peace forum will mark the Dalai Lama’s third visit to SU, said Karen Nezelek, facilitator to the Student Buddhist Association and SU alumna. Nezelek encourages all students to attend the event, regardless of their religious beliefs, as everyone can take some wisdom away from the leader, she said.

“Somehow, when he talks about anything — no matter what questions he gets asked — you feel his answers,” Nezelek said. “And I think you won’t find many people like that to sit in front of and experience.” egsawyer@syr.edu @3sawyer

SU entrepreneur showcases feel-good fashion at J. Michael with trunk show

chase gaewski | asst. photo editor JAMES BARRETT, a senior communication design major, holds a sign indicating how many pinnies he’s sold at J. Michael Shoes.

On Friday, he will sell these peace pinnies along with other items from his collection in his third trunk show at the store.

lending in seamlessly with his surroundings like an average J. Michael customer, James Barrett stands next to a rack of clothes. Among various designers and styles, beside him hang multi-colored pinnies, the front of each decorated with a large hand making a peace sign. Next to the original design is a scribbled signature, to mark who had a hand in this — Barrett.

He holds a small white sign that says, “500 sold at J. Michael.” Memorializing the number of pinnies he’s already sold in the store, this numeric value is fleeting. On Friday, Barrett returns to J. Michael to sell his collection through a trunk show. Beginning at noon, this will be his third one through the store.

Although currently J. Michael only sells

his pinnies, Barrett will showcase more of his self-described “feel good” apparel from James Barrett Co. His two main designs are the hope design — hand with two fingers crossed — and peace design, both of which are on everything from T-shirts to tanks and hoodies to V-necks.

Some people have a lifelong dream for a start-up or an idea; the dream is all they work for. And, for some people, it just happens.

For Barrett, it was the latter. As a freshman, the business model came to fruition after taking a printmaking elective course.

Barrett knew he wanted to make a shirt whose design took up the front of the shirt, not just a logo in the chest area, and that had a feel-good vibe to it.

Although at the time he thought little of it, he posted a Facebook event asking if anyone would want this peace T-shirt. He anticipated making around 20 shirts and ended up creat-

ing 100 for the project.

Fast-forward from April 2010, and Barrett, now a senior, has seen his peace crew neck T-shirt worn in Aer’s music video, “What You Need.” An orange peace tank makes a brief cameo at the end of Humor Whore’s viral video, “Cuse Is Cray.”

He has an e-commerce website to show off and sell the products, a Facebook page with roughly 3,400 “likes” that he updates frequently, and has sold more than 4,000 items from his collection in about 31 different states.

Quite a change from a mere Facebook event.

Yet numbers don’t hold much meaning to him. He frequently shies away from mentioning them or any sort of financial gains; he tries to be modest.

April 2012 was the first time in two years that he received funding through placing third at the Panasci Business Plan Competi-

Student sells jewelry for charity

By Colleen Bidwill FEATURE EDITOR

At 4 or 5 years old, Brittney Rutigliano remembers making bracelets for the lunch ladies and selling them for a $1 each. Despite sometimes getting up to $7 — a gold mine for someone at her age — she would donate the funds to various charities her parents supported.

Some things never go out of style.

Rutigliano, a junior selected studies in education major, now sells her handcrafted jewelry pieces at J. Michael, among other stores in Long Island and online. Each item donates 15 percent to pediatric cancer research, such as to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

As someone with a passion for jewelry, she’s always realized how much some items broke the bank. She challenged herself to make items cheaper, especially for a college student’s budget.

Last December, The Alyse Collection was born. Ranging from earrings to necklaces to bracelets, the items contain semi-precious stones from disclosed locations around New York City, and usually a charm that symbolizes good luck, such as an elephant with a trunk up or a Buddha.

A friend who works at J. Michael recommended that she show her pieces there, and after showing them to the owner, they now sit in a glass case on the front counter behind the sunglasses. She credits her initial success to the store and its support.

“It really helped guide me to want to continue,” she said. “If I didn’t have them, then I probably wouldn’t have this business. They made me even more motivated … I can’t thank them enough.”

In charge of all levels of social media such as Facebook and Instagram, and her website, in a year’s time she wants to not only expand the stores she’s in, but also expand her online presence.

And at around 11 p.m., one would find her hunched over, working on the items, which take no more than 45 minutes each. But, she wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I guess some people are a midnight baker, I’m a midnight jewelry person,” she said. cbidwill@syr.edu

Juice Jam boosts production value

By Erik van Rheenen ASST. FEATURE EDITOR

Sunday’s Juice Jam is a rain-or-shine affair.

But University Union concert director Ken Consor is keeping his fingers crossed for shine.

“It’s been cloudy the past few years for the concert,” Consor said. “A clear day would be really nice.”

The concert, featuring electronic dance music disk jockey Calvin Harris and hip-hop artist Childish Gambino as headliners, will be University Union’s highest-selling concert since 2011’s Block Party. That event, featuring Kid Cudi, Nas and Damian Marley, sold 14,463 tickets. Tickets for Sunday’s show sold out Wednesday afternoon, breaking the Juice Jam ticket-sales record.

Juice Jam will open its doors at Skytop Field on South Campus at noon on Sunday, and opening Boston hip-hop group The Dean’s List will perform at 1 p.m. The group has been touring on a college circuit, Consor said.

The Dean’s List’s performance at Syracuse University is the first in a string of dates that will snake around the Northeast.

The group put on a concert at the Westcott Theater last October.

tion. He also won Student Entrepreneur of the Year and the Whitman Alumni Club Student CNY Business Start-up Award.

To this day, he’ll only mention that he got third place.

The magic number was seven — the number of pinnies that originally hung in J. Michael. In November 2011, on a whim, Barrett walked into the store with samples of his collection. After meeting with the buyer and owner, he left with a deal for a trial run with seven of his pinnies. Nervous and on edge about whether or not they’d even sell, in less than two days they were gone.

Despite his position as a full-time student, Barrett’s tasks extend much farther than mastermind or figurehead of the

The first headliner, Childish Gambino, who released his debut studio album “Camp” in 2011, is slated to go on around 2:30 p.m.

After stage changes, Calvin Harris will perform as the last act of the show. The concert will go until 6 p.m.

Childish Gambino is traveling with his backing band and some of his own production while on tour. Most artists perform at Juice Jam as a one-off concert, Consor said, but Childish Gambino is treating the show as a tour stop.

For concertgoers who haven’t gotten a taste of Calvin Harris’ live show, he will serve as the house DJ for MTV’s Video Music Awards on Thursday night. He was also nominated for Best Electronic Dance Music Video for his hit single, “Feel So Close.” Childish Gambino’s “Heartbeat” was nominated for a VMA for Best Hip-Hop Video.

“It’s tough to do outside because the weather up here changes every five minutes,” Consor said. “But we’ve definitely improved the production, especially for Childish Gambino and Calvin Harris. There will be surprises.”

Consor also said this year’s Juice Jam will feature the highest quality production value for the concert in its nine-year history.

Although he plans to keep some ele-

ments a surprise and stayed tight-lipped about specifics, the LED screens at the show will play a bigger role. The production improvements will build on last year’s Block Party featuring EDM artist Kaskade, Consor said.

“The timing of the awards is cool, and I’m rooting for both of them to bring home awards,” Consor said. “If students want a preview of how Calvin Harris performs, they just have to turn on the TV.” Sara Shivani can’t wait to see Childish Gambino’s performance.

“I really do love all the acts, but I’m a Gambino girl at heart,” said Shivani, a freshman international relations and anthropology dual major.

Though the show will be Shivani’s first Juice Jam concert, she was happy that the concert’s lineup represented more than one genre. She was excited to find out the rapper and Harris would be performing on campus.

The concert also coincides with another important even for Shivani — her 18th birthday.

Said Shivani: “It will definitely be one to remember.”

company. Taking inspiration from his time as a communication design major, he works with promotions and advertising.

He makes all of his posters himself, previously seen in the Schine Student Center or outside J. Michael.

With the awards under his belt, during this past summer he had a kiosk in Rockaway Townsquare Mall in New Jersey for most of July and August. Due to a time commitment with an internship in New York City, he relied on 16 friends, or friends of friends, that manned the kiosk, one at a time.

Most, if not all, of the individuals seen in advertisements or on his Facebook page are either friends or family members. His dad acts as a “business partner” and contributes what he can from home.

And Barrett has stayed hands-on throughout everything; he screens the T-shirts within a makeshift workshop in the basement of his

New Jersey home.

“So, that’s where all the magic happens,” said Barrett and laughed.

Magic. In a way, it was, with how quickly everything took off since his collaboration with J. Michael.

And compliments from J. Michael help.

Barrett said it’s amusing when he’s in J. Michael and someone’s looking at the pinnies and the owner says, “The designer is here!”

Although he has other ideas in mind, and wants to create a new website, he’s not in a rush. But, he named his company after himself so that he has the potential to branch out — the possibilities are endless.

But will this always be his job?

He pauses for a while, reaching and putting his hands behind his head.

Said Barrett: “If you do what you love, you never work a day in your life.”

FROM THE BOX OFFICE

What started as a promising fiscal summer for the film industry in May with Disney’s “The Avengers,” ended in this weekend’s colossal failure in “The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure,” which became the lowest opening ever for a movie in widerelease, with $448,000. So, as the summer comes to an end, it’s time to review this summer’s box office.

While there were two huge hits in Disney’s “The Avengers” and Warner Bros.’ “The Dark Knight Rises,” both of which earned more than a billion dollars, these box-office successes were not enough. Ticket sales this summer were down an estimated 3 percent from last summer, according to Hollywood. com. Even with higher ticket prices and a string of other successes in “The Amazing Spider-Man,” “Brave” and “Ted,” why was this a declining summer for Hollywood?

The first reason for the declining summer box office was the movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colo., on July 20, which killed 12 people and injured 58 others. It left many Americans uneasy about going to the movie theater.

Also, the London Olympics provided constant coverage and thwarted people from going to movie theaters, as entertainment was readily available online, on TV and even on mobile devices.

The main reason, however, lies in the movies themselves; studios simply were not releasing quality movies that resonated with audiences.

Though this summer may have been disappointing for those in the industry, there are important lessons that can be learned. First, star power is no longer a reliable source for box office success. This is evidenced by the box-office failures of stars like Tom Cruise (“Rock of Ages”), Adam Sandler (“That’s My Boy”) and even Johnny Depp (“Dark Shadows”).

Second, studios need to produce original movies that resonate with viewers. As long as studios are creative, audiences will continue to pay to see them, as proven by the successes of Universal’s “Ted,” Warner Bros.’ “Magic Mike,” and Disney’s “Brave.”

The summer was disappointing for Hollywood, as movie-theater attendance dropped 4 percent to 533 million, and ticket sales declined 3 percent to $4.28 billion, according to research firm National Research Group. But based on the upcoming films slated until the end of the year (“Wreck-It Ralph,” “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” “Skyfall,” “Lincoln,” “Zero Dark Thirty” and “Django Unchained,” to name a few), it looks very promising for the industry.

Independent film takes raw, brutally honest look at working class lifestyle

By Rob Marvin

W

STAFF WRITER

hen personal tragedy and financial ruin collide, everyone has a breaking point.

In “Blue Collar Boys,” director, writer and producer Mark Nistico explores what happens when everyday, hardworking Americans are pushed to the edge. The film takes a gritty, unapologetic look at a family contracting business that is struggling to survive and the decisions they make to avoid losing everything.

The low-budget, independent film has been racking up awards, winning Best Micro-Budget Feature Film at the Toronto Independent Film Festival, along with Best Screenplay at the Hoboken International Film Festival. The film’s world theatrical premiere is at 7 p.m. Friday at the Palace Theater in Syracuse, N.Y. Shot on location in New Jersey, the film has an authentically bleak feel. The family diners, local bars and construction sites seem familiar, and the characters and their burdens hit home — they break their backs to put food on the table every night in a way that is relatable.

The film opens with a man being arrested, his face pressed in the dirt. The story picks up nine months earlier, as 27-year-old Charlie “Red” Redkin (Gabe Fazio) is forced to take over his family construction business from his aging father, Doug “Senior” (Bruce Kirkpatrick).

When mounting project costs, late payments and corrupt developers bring the family to the brink of bankruptcy and foreclosure, Red reluctantly turns to threats, violence and petty crime.

Red is in over his head, his actions guided by anger and frustration. Along with his hotheaded half-brother Nick “Nazo” (Kevin Interdonato) and friends Mason (Joshua Paled) and Slim (Russ Russo), he slowly sinks deeper into a mafia mentality, justifying his means to protect his family.

At the heart of “Blue Collar Boys” is a character study — it takes the conventional mold of blue-collar workers and turns it on its head. The group constantly engages in bar fights, and the boys rely on homophobic and racial slurs. But the story fleshes out why they act the way they do. Behind Nazo’s obnoxious attitude and Red’s brooding anger is a deep-seated disillusionment with the American dream.

The film captures the devastating ripple effects of economic hardship with unf linching realism, a bold script and several intensely emotional performances from its young lead actors.

The acting brings these themes to life, with relative newcomer Gabe Fazio giving a heart-

wrenching performance as Red. Fazio wears his emotions on his sleeve, his quiet presence erupting into anger and rage glaring in his eyes as he chokes a developer through a drywall. As Red hunches over, weeping in an empty, unfinished house, he epitomizes a man completely broken.

Interdonato and Paled play Nazo and Mason, respectively, adding depth to the gruff workingman stereotype. These are the guys people avoid in bars, the ones always looking for an excuse to pick a fight. But behind their facades is fear. Fear of losing what they have and of letting their families down. Their performances reveal the underlying mentality of the so-called “common man with calloused hands.”

Nistico’s script is straightforward and blunt, but with a certain poetic subtlety, in a similar vein to HBO’s “The Wire.” The dialogue is brash and profane, with characters constantly cursing and yelling at one another. Yet scattered throughout the film are lines that dig much deeper. For example, at one point, Slim said, “It’s hunger, it’s strife and it’s necessity. That’s how gangs are formed. It’s hate. The hate runs deep.”

Political undertones course throughout the film. During a monologue, Red said, “Blood runs deep? That’s some bulls*** they sell kids

on the street. It’s hate that runs deep. The generations that carried this nation on their backs have been driven from their homes and left for dead. The American dream lies in the sewer.”

These guys are easily provoked, they drink and they brawl. In one scene, they even bash and kick a car to pieces. But when “Blue Collar Boys” comes full circle, as Red is handcuffed and his face pushed against the cold ground, it’s easy to understand why.

Iroquois Nationals to host international event

By Chris Iseman ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

The Iroquois Nationals will host the 2015 Federation of International Lacrosse World Indoor Lacrosse Championships at Tsha’Hon’nonyen’dakhwa’ Onondaga Nation Arena in Nedrow, N.Y., and First Niagara Center in Buffalo, N.Y., the team announced Wednesday.

The event will last six days in September 2015. It’s expected to bring in about 300 athletes and 15,000 fans, which will result in approximately $4 million in local travel spending, according to a press release.

“We are pleased that the Federation of International Lacrosse selected the Iroquois Nationals to host this prestigious event,” Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney said in the release. “The Onondaga Nation is an integral part of our community and we welcome the opportunity to show people from all over the world what Central New York has to offer.”

The World Championships take place every four years, and the 2015 tournament will be the

fourth tournament. It will mark the first time any international sporting event is held on indigenous grounds.

Pool play and the quarterfinals of the tournament will be held at the Onondaga Nation Arena, which seats 3,000 people. The remaining rounds will take place at the First Niagara Center, home of the Buffalo Bandits of the National Lacrosse League. The Buffalo Sabres of the NHL also play at the venue.

The Bandits were first in the NLL in attendance in 2012 with 15,918 fans per game.

“The Buffalo Bandits are extremely pleased to be chosen as co-host of WILC 2015 along with the Onondaga Nation,” said Scott Loffler, director of lacrosse operations of the Buffalo Bandits, in the release. “Western New York and Southern Ontario has a strong and passionate following when it comes to indoor lacrosse and we are excited to show that off to the lacrosse world.

“We look forward to working in conjunction with the Iroquois Nationals to make this event

successful and a positive experience for all involved.”

The FIL was formed in 2008 in a merger of the men’s and women’s international lacrosse associations.

About 10 to 12 nations will participate in Nora’s Hair Salon the event. Canada won the gold medal at the 2011 championships held in Prague. Australia, Specializing in Ethnic Czech Republic, England, Ireland and Slovakia Haircare and Treatments all competed. The U.S. won the bronze medal.

Israel, Thailand and Turkey — all new FIL members — have also expressed interest in now offering student specials Shampoo and Sets $15.00 participating, according to the release.

Relaxers and Touch-up $30.00 The event will be one to remember thanks to Monday - Friday the Bandits organization and the historical significance, said Onondaga Faithkeeper Oren Lyons on 315-472-5164 behalf of the Onondaga Nation Council of Chiefs.

week, and I think, more than anything, he’s trying to guard against USC looking past Syracuse based on what happened last season having played them, and the fact that USC has been such a hyped team through the preseason. … I think he’s taking every chance to get his message out that Syracuse can be a formidable opponent and the Trojans better not look past them.

If Syracuse does decide to sling the ball around like it did last week against Northwestern, how does that match up against the back seven of the USC defense? Is that a strength of the Trojans’ defense so far

delivers the ball anywhere in the receivers’ range, they’re going to haul it in.

At the line of scrimmage, Barkley is harder to read than almost any other college quarterback. Reddish said as soon as the ball is snapped the cornerbacks have to take off. Barkley will exploit any hesitation.

Reddish called Barkley a “baby Peyton Manning.”

“He’s just smart,” Reddish said. “When the ball is snapped, you’ve just got to go. You can’t sit there, because if you sit there, he’s going to pick you apart.”

But USC can beat defenses on the ground as well as it can through the air.

this season?

GK: USC’s back seven was regarded as a strength going into the season, but after one game, it’s hard to tell just how good they are.

They faced a quarterback from Hawaii, Sean Schroeder, who had never thrown a pass in a college game, and they intercepted two passes. The big question for USC had been their defensive line and just how well it was going to play because there are so many new players, and one of their starters was out.

They were able to get pressure, cause some turnovers and create some havoc, so they were encouraged by that.

One of the ways Syracuse was tested last week was on special teams. The Orange’s punt coverage was not very good on multiple occasions, and USC has some of the

State. Like McNeal, Redd also ran for 1,000 yards last year.

SU linebacker Marquis Spruill called it “hectic.” The Trojans offense has so many weapons that everyone on the Syracuse defense has to have their eyes on several spots at once.

“It’s tough because you can’t keep your scheme set to one player,” Spruill said. “You’ve got to worry about the wide receivers, the running backs and quarterback, as well. It just makes it that much harder. You’ve got to read this, watch out for that.”

Spruill said he will zone in on Barkley’s eyes to guess where he’s going to go with the ball. And then Spruill and the SU defense have to combine that with trying to disguise their coverage because Barkley can pick up on the slightest of signs.

The test for the Orange is as much mental as it is physical. Against the No. 2 team in the nation, every second is a battle. The intensity is always heightened.

Last season, Spruill said he was going for a

most talented returners there are in college football. Is that an area where USC feels it has a distinct advantage?

GK: I’m not sure that they necessarily feel they have an advantage, although it would certainly appear that way. Since Lane Kiffin has arrived, with John Baxter as his special teams coach, they spend as much time, it seems, working on special teams as they do working on offense and defense. Whereas before, special teams during the Pete Carroll era were more of an afterthought, if you will.

This is something that is very, very important to them, and they work on it extremely hard. … They’ve obviously seen the film of what happened to Syracuse, and Syracuse is going to take pains to fix those mistakes, but I’m sure USC is looking forward to going

up against those units and seeing if they can have some success.

It wasn’t difficult for Doug Marrone to pick out players on USC that his team needs to focus on because they are the players that everyone has been talking about. But did Lane Kiffin identify any particular players he wanted his team to focus on?

GK: Most of the talk at this point has been about Nassib, the quarterback, since he had such a big day. I know Syracuse has a receiver (Alec Lemon) that did not play in the last game who is a big part of his attack. They are thinking that he is probably going to come back or counting on the fact that they have to play against him. Those are the headline guys at this point. mjcohe02@syr.edu @Michael_Cohen13

focused on trying to get Woods back.

Considering Woods’ athleticism, that wasn’t easy.

“The rest of the game, I was just trying to hammer him, the whole game. I got him back a couple times, not like I wanted to,” Woods said.

“He probably didn’t know it was a beef, but it was in my eyes.”

But it’s a new season and both teams have new players, he said.

And the Trojans as a whole are considered more explosive and talented than they were in 2011. Against arguably the top quarterback in college football, one who has a variety of playmakers on his side, the Orange’s defense has to be perfect.

Barkley torched Syracuse’s defense last season, and he’s back to do it again.

“The playmakers will make plays. That’s a given,” Spruill said. “It’s just going to make it that much harder to beat them, and we’re going to try our best.”

After building support at home, SU looks to stay hot on road

By Nick Toney ASST. COPY EDITOR

Hearing the postgame cheers was bittersweet for Lars Muller. On one hand, the stands were still filled with fans that stuck around to applaud Syracuse’s six-goal win over Colgate.

On the other hand, Muller knew he’d have to wait a month to hear the cheers of the home crowd Who: NJIT again.

Where: Oneonta, N.Y. SU’s next home When: Friday, 7:30 p.m. game is on Sept.

22. On the heels of its biggest win in 18 years, the Orange (3-1) will play the New Jersey Institute of Technology (2-2) and St. Bonaventure (0-4) this weekend in the Mayor’s Cup in Oneonta, N.Y. The Orange plays six of the seven its next seven games on the road in four different states.

“It’s sad to have one of our most exciting games at home in front of our fans, then turn around and leave,” said Muller. “But we’re

excited about this road trip and representing our school.”

There’s an excitement about this road trip that Muller’s never seen before. After all, last year’s team lost five of its six games, including deflating overtime losses to Siena, Louisville and Pittsburgh en route to a disappointing three-win season.

With this year’s fast start, spending a month on the road doesn’t seem like such a grueling prospect. And younger players who notched their first road win in their first away game earlier this season only add to a growing positive outlook about the team’s chances away from home.

Muller might not remember a time where Syracuse looked forward to playing on the road, but freshman Stefanos Stamoulacatos doesn’t know any better. The midfielder and local product from Camillus, N.Y., has known nothing but a confident Syracuse team so far in his young career.

It’s a far cry from what Stamoulacatos saw

when he attended SU games last fall as a senior at West Genesee High School. He saw sagging shoulders and poor postures after every goal, and wondered about the future of the team.

He ended up enrolling at Syracuse and became a member of the team that would start to change the culture. And players that don’t

“It’s sad to have one of our most exciting games at home in front of our fans, then turn around and leave. But we’re excited about this road trip and representing our school.”

Lars Muller

SU FORWARD

remember last season’s terrible road record, like Stamoulacatos, have helped reduce a mindset that plagued the team last year.

“It’s night and day,” Stamoulacatos said about the difference he’s seen in just one year.

“Watching from the stands, they just didn’t look like they had the mindset to win. Now, you can tell just by being around the guys we have

on this team that we’ll have no problem hitting the road and playing some teams close.”

Even older players like Muller echo that youthful confidence. Ted Cribley said after Monday’s game that “it feels good to play soccer again.” As those veteran players were pulled off the field, each one had a smile on his face.

Syracuse didn’t even enter the Mayor’s Cup last season during its disappointing season.

With three wins in the books so far, head coach Ian McIntyre is already talking about winning the tournament.

“It’d be great to get a trophy for these guys, for them to have a little piece of their own history,” McIntyre said. “Especially for the younger guys to start their careers off with something they can hang their hats on.”

The youth movement is working. Coming off its biggest win of the season and under their head coach’s tenure, many teams would bemoan a momentum-breaking month of road games.

Syracuse used to be that team. It isn’t anymore.

“We’ll be playing a lot of minutes and putting some younger guys out there to stay fresh,” said sophomore defender Skylar Thomas. “I think this road trip will be good for us, honestly. We can only get better by playing together.” nctoney@syr.edu

about shutting down the Southern California quarterback for a second straight season, and Barkley would be another elite rookie preparing for his first pro season. Instead, Barkley returned for his senior season with the Trojans, hoping to lead them to a national championship after a twoyear bowl ban.

“I’m not going to sit here and tell you I’m happy that he came back,” Marrone said Monday in the Big East

coaches’ teleconference. “I make that statement so people can understand exactly how I feel about him.”

This is the test Syracuse (0-1) signed up for when it agreed to play Southern California (1-0) for two games in 2011 and 2012. The No. 2 Trojans’ offense is filled with stars, and Barkley serves as the headlining act.

The Orange defense, which allowed 42 points to Northwestern in the opener, will face arguably its biggest challenge of the season when it lines up against the Trojans in MetLife Stadium at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

SU already fell to USC 38-17 at the Los Angeles Coliseum last season.

In that game, Barkley threw for 324 yards and five touchdown passes.

The Orange’s secondary struggled mightily against the Trojans’ superior receivers. With another year under his belt, Barkley has only gotten better.

And so have his receivers.

Robert Woods and Marquis Lee combined for 145 yards receiving and scored two touchdowns against SU a year ago. In the Trojans’ first game against Hawaii, the pair had 239 yards, 16 catches and three touchdowns.

Q&A with Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times

By Michael Cohen STAFF WRITER

One week after climbing back from a 22-point deficit only to fall short in the final minutes against Northwestern, Syracuse faces what could be its toughest challenge of the season when it takes on No. 2 Southern California

at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, as part of New York’s College Classic.

Last season, the Orange traveled out to California and lost to the Trojans 38-17, but this year, USC is far better and one of the favorites to win the national championship. The Daily Orange caught up with USC beat

writer Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times to discuss some of the main storylines heading into the weekend and examine what to expect from either side.

The D.O.: Doug Marrone has said that his team needs a perfect game to really keep up with Southern

California this weekend. How has Lane Kiffin been billing this weekend’s game?

The Big East announced its men’s basketball conference schedule for the 2012-13 season, which will be Syracuse’s last in the league before it moves to the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The conference will have 56 percent of its games televised nationally on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and CBS Sports, according to a Big East press release on Wednesday.

“Big East men’s basketball and unparalleled national media exposure have always been synonymous,” Big East commissioner Mike Aresco said in the release. “The 2012-13 schedule is unmatched in its scope of telecasts nationally, regionally and locally.”

Syracuse will play Villanova, Georgetown, Louisville and Providence twice during its 18-game conference slate. SU enters the season as the defending regular season conference champions and opens Big East play against Rutgers in the Carrier Dome on Jan. 2, 2013. The Big East tournament will take place in Madison Square Garden from March 12 – 16, 2013.

Among the highlights on the Orange’s conference schedule is its regular-season finale matchup in Washington, D.C., with the Hoyas — a game that could be the final time the schools play as conference rivals. The game is set for March 9 at noon and will be featured on ESPN College GameDay. No conference team plays more than two consecutive road games, something the Orange does three different times. rjgery@syr.edu
