Gray uses past experiences with LGBT community to create safe spaces

By Lydia Wilson staff writer

A

t a Pride Union event last Wednesday to kick off LGBT History Month, Tiffany Gray listened as students shared their coming out stories and built community with each other.

“All I thought in that moment was, ‘I’m so glad students have this,’” Gray said. “When I was in college, it often felt like it was just me and my friends; a space like that didn’t exist.”

Gray has dedicated her professional career to building safe spaces and spreading social justice to campuses across the country. In August, Gray was named interim director of the LGBT Resource Center at Syracuse University after previously serving as the associate director from 2012-14.

Gray’s passion for social justice and desire to meet the need for these

safe spaces is threaded in her career work. Before coming to SU, Gray was a residential life coordinator and foundations of leadership instructor at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, California. She carried out staff training and diversity and inclusion work.

She also served as the director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs at Seattle University before returning to SU in August. Gray said her work at other colleges and universities helped her to narrow her focus to LGBTQ resources. It also helped her to realize the vested interest she holds in the Syracuse community.

“Over the course of one year, I came back twice to reconnect and see students graduate,” Gray said.

“I have always been drawn to this community. We have really smart, critical, in-depth thinkers that give me energy and fuel to understand my work and my role.”

Abby Fite, an administrative specialist at the LGBT Resource Center, said when they interviewed Gray to return as interim director, she blew everyone away.

“She’s brilliant, of course, but on top of that she’s funny, friendly and easy to talk to,” Fite said. “She’s the kind of person people gravitate toward.”

Fite also worked with Gray during her time as associate director. Fite said Gray’s ability to build relationships allowed the resource center to foster collaborations across campus, complete more intersectional work and better advertise their resources to students.

“This is by far the most fun place I’ve ever worked and also the place that produces the most valuable work,” Fite said. “I feel completely comfortable here, like we are intentionally redefining professionalism.”

Gray’s passion and the tone she sets as a boss provide a productive

yet personal workplace, Fite said.

Gray’s openness enables staff to bring their whole selves into the resource center, allowing the group to authentically explore how they work best together, Fite added.

A former Syracuse University student who claims he was involuntarily confined to the St. Joseph’s Hospital psychiatric ward is now suing the university and the hospital, making him the second student to come forward with such allegations.

Andrew Smith, a Seattle resident, claims he was held against his will in St. Joseph’s psychiatric ward for six days in March 2013.

He is now suing the hospital, SU and a university employee, arguing he’s suffered mental and physical damage due to improper medical treatment, administering unnecessary and harmful medication and failure to obtain informed consent, among other reasons, according to a lawsuit filed recently in New York County Supreme Court.

A similar case was filed by a former SU student against the hospital and the university last spring.

Kaitlyn Taylor, a Union County, New Jersey resident, sued both parties after she visited Health Services and was then confined to St. Joseph’s mental ward for six days, according to her lawsuit.

SU denied all wrongdoing in regards to Taylor’s allegations, saying it didn’t “act inappropriately in any way.”

Kevin Quinn, SU’s senior vice president for public affairs, was not immediately available to comment for this story.

Paul Hanrahan, St. Joseph’s attorney, was also not immediately available for comment.

Smith went to Health Services on March 28, 2013 when he began suffering from flu-like symptoms.

TATTOO tuesday | ivy christensen

Phoenix represents freshman’s perseverance

noon hi 67° lo 50°

By Lizzie Michael staff writer

Everything Ivy Christensen has been through in her life has taught her to be resilient.

She got her tattoo, a large phoenix on her back, to communicate that, she said.

Christensen, a freshman bioengineering major, designed her tattoo and got it in August, a week before she began school at Syracuse University. With the wings and head looking upward, Christensen said, it appears to be soaring through the sky.

Growing up, Christensen and her younger sister, Holly, were raised by a single mother. Times were often hard, Christensen said, and living in a small Pennsylvania town, it was difficult for her mother to find work and support the family.

Despite the challenges that came with her childhood, Christensen said she was able to learn how to be resilient and work hard.

As a senior in high school, Christensen had an opportunity no other girl in her school had in almost 25 years; to go to the state track meet

Unfortunately, Christensen’s dream was crushed when the qualifying race ended how all others

SU student selected for It’s On Us committee

By Stacy Fernandez staff writer

A Syracuse University student and survivor of sexual assault was selected as one of the 17 members of the new national It’s On Us Student Advisory Committee.

Samantha Skaller, a junior viola performance and music history and cultures dual major at SU, was selected to be a member of the committee. The It’s On Us initiative

was launched by President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in partnership with the Center for American Progress’ Generation Progress. Its mission is to prevent sexual assault on college campuses and encourage members of the campus community to sign a pledge to not be bystanders.

It’s On Us launched its first Student Advisory Committee this year as a way for exemplary student leaders to be able to play a larger role in

introducing the message of the campaign onto college campuses and the surrounding communities nationwide, according to a press release.

As a survivor of sexual assault, Skaller felt that through her recovery, she would like to advocate for other survivors and be able to empower them.

“Being able to talk to survivors and understand what they’ve gone through fuels a huge passion for this subject and a huge passion for want-

ing to see change,” she said.

While looking at resources, Skaller found the application online. She applied to the committee on a whim without knowing exactly what it was.

“Samantha really stood out as someone who could be a very strong leader for the campaign and really help organize on the grass roots level,” said Kristin Avery, campaign manager of It’s On Us. Avery said she wants to create a see skaller page 8

SU community petitions to replace Columbus Day

By Justin Mattingly news editor

About 40 members of the Syracuse University community gathered on the Quad Monday to encourage the recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day in place of Columbus Day. The members — some indigenous and some not — said recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ Day will “create a sustainably inclusive atmosphere on campus” and possibly increase enrollment of indigenous peoples

at the university. The Indigenous Students at Syracuse, which aims to “create visibility and awareness of indigenous culture and issues,” organized the rally.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day at SU would celebrate indigenous culture, a student at the rally said.

Some of those in attendance at the rally held signs saying, “We are still here,” “Celebrating Indigenous Survival” and “It’s a great day to be Indigenous.”

As SU students and faculty mem-

bers passed by the rally, some signed a petition to bring recognition to the day, which is intended to replace Columbus Day. Currently, SU, along with most of its peer institutions, does not formally recognize Columbus Day. Only four of SU’s peer institutions formally recognize the holiday: Northeastern University, Boston University, Georgetown University and Boston College.

A Change.org petition was created Sunday night for the cause and

received about 400 signatures, as of Monday night. Combining the Change.org petition numbers with the amount of written signatures Monday on the Quad would put the total over 500, a woman working the petition table said.

“This day would honor the unlikely survival and resilience of over 567 distinct peoples, cultures, and traditions,” the Change.org petition reads. “As a neighbor to the Onondaga and Oneida Peoples, see indigenous page 8

student association Here’s some additional information from Monday night’s SA meeting: INTERNSHIP STIPENDS A Student Association initiative that would award students with unpaid internships a stipend for the summer is currently pending Syracuse University administration approval, SA Vice President Jane Hong said on Monday.

Hong worked with Sonia Suchak, SA’s academic affairs chair, to create the initiative.

If the administration were to approve the proposal, Hong said she hopes it would go into effect next summer.

The initiative would potentially fund 10 students with unpaid internships and help them pay for housing and other living expenses. Hong noted that most students with unpaid internships receive experience credit for them, which requires the students to pay the full price of at least one academic credit to complete their internship.

‘Scream Queens’ supplements premiere of ‘American Horror Story’

“I

want to show you something you’ll enjoy,” Lady Gaga’s the Countess said to a little boy in the season premiere of “American Horror Story: Hotel” on Wednesday.

Ironically, what often held the show back was creator Ryan Murphy’s desire to show us too many things to enjoy. Despite its huge success, “American Horror Story” never seemed like it knew what kind of show it wanted to be. But that is no longer the case.

The season premiere was easily the best episode of “AHS” I’ve ever seen — though I have not seen the “Coven” season. This is partially because of the strengths of the show itself, but also because of another show, “Scream Queens,” Ryan Murphy’s latest television venture.

By splitting several of his close creative interests into two different shows, Murphy has shown that sometimes the most effective content is created by the separating of ideas rather than the merging of them.

For a show with “horror” in the

MARK DIBONA

THE SOUND OF CULTURE GOING POP title, “AHS” was never particularly scary. The show seemed more interested in portraying campy, over-the-top horror à la “Rocky Horror Picture Show” or “Drag Me to Hell” than legitimately disturbing scares.

This would not be a problem as both of those movies are very enjoyable, but the show never felt like it fully embraced that style, either. Anything truly frightening was disarmed by quirky Theremin sounds and laughably bizarre juxtapositions, but you could never be fully amused by those things because the plot was so serious.

If “AHS” was ever going to enter the upper-echelon of television, something needed to be done about this incongruity.

Luckily, Ryan Murphy’s “Glee” came to an end, allowing him the time to create “Scream Queens.” Featuring several veterans

of “AHS,” as well as famous horror icons, it’s essentially the perfect take on the campy horror described above.

It is a hilarious show that gets its humor from a well-informed over-indulgence in horror tropes, such as the sidesplitting take on what would happen if the characters actually tried to beat up the killer. This, I thought, was what “AHS” should’ve been all along.

The campy horror that muddled and confused the tone of the show was completely removed in the premiere of “American Horror Story: Hotel.”

It was just plain scary and thrilling now, with nods to everything from cool neon vampire films like “The Lost Boys” to horror epics like “The Shining.” More focused than ever, it could end up being one of the best shows of the year.

The greatness of these shows demonstrates the importance of artists focusing on their ideas separately, rather than clustering them together.

So few people get a chance to create, they often try to get everything they want to say out at once. The problem is the great ideas get

in each other’s way, preventing them from reaching their full effectiveness.

When you look at someone like Quentin Tarantino, his debut “Reservoir Dogs” is very impressive, but it was only after he separated his creative interests from it into separate films like “Pulp Fiction” and “Inglorious Bastards” that he found huge box office success, Oscars and became one of the most famous filmmakers of the past 25 years.

Ideas are at their strongest when they are at their purest. To get them from one’s head to the rest of a culture they must be delivered in as clear a way as possible.

Ryan Murphy has finally found two tools to deliver two of his biggest creative interests to the world and it will be exciting to see how he can handle them now going forward.

Additional institutional change needed to move past ‘War on Drugs’

T

he Justice Department is preparing to release about 6,000 prison inmates early, the largest one-time release of federal offenders in U.S. history, according to

86

The Washington Post.

The nationwide releases, scheduled between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2, are part of a broad shift in the way the United States’ criminal jus-

THOMAS BECKLEY-FOREST

THE ONLY ONE LEFT

tice system sentences drug-related criminals.

The shift represents attempts to reverse harsh “War on Drugs”-era policies that many argue have led to overcrowded prisons and lopsidedly destructive effects on minority communities over the past few decades.

These releases come after the U.S. Sentencing Commission’s retroactive easing of federal guidelines for drug sentencing, which could mean eventual early releases for around 46,000 of the country’s 100,000 drug-related federal offenders.

The restructuring underway is ambitious, knocking an average of two years off many sentences and ordering federal prosecutors to seek lower charges in the future for small-time offenders not affiliated with gangs. A bipartisan reform bill proposed earlier this month would also reduce mandatory minimums for drug offenders and allow judges more case-by-case discretion.

Still, these reforms only scrape the surface of the deep structural damage that drug war policies have inflicted on many American communities.

These policies have been in effect across generations, long enough to set cycles in motion that perpetuate the drug trade; turning prisons into gang recruiting grounds, disadvantaging ex-cons in the job market and destabilizing inmates’ families, with their kids five times as likely as their peers to be imprisoned at some point.

While scaling back stiff federal drug sentences is a move in the right direction, a meaningful solution to the incarceration crisis should continue to address the local levels through which people enter the system, as well as the root issues incarceration originally aimed to solve.

The DOJ’s wide demand that its prosecutors soften penalties on low-level offenders is one thing, but careful implementation of similar pol-

icies by state and local attorneys will help make more progress in specific urban communities.

It’s also important to make local police a part of the solution. The “War on Drugs” has historically encouraged aggressive tactics and arrest-whoever-we-can, charge-whoever-wecan mentalities in urban police departments, like Baltimore’s — tactics that serve to flood the justice system with low-level offenders.

Cutting overtime pay incentives that encourage cops to chase smaller loitering and possession charges is only one example of how police departments can reprioritize.

Most crucial to a revolution against the incarceration state is addressing the economic and social causes at the root of urban drug crime.

One can argue that the drug trade became the roaring business it is today partly because of the economic vacuum created by poor economic prospects in at-risk communities.

The drug trade simply became the most viable economic sector for many of the young people who would end up behind bars.

Steering communities away from the drug trade then becomes an economic endeavor.

State, city and federal governments already spend so many tax dollars prosecuting and incarcerating drug-offenders — some of those funds should be reallocated toward job-training programs, expanding drug treatment court programs and subsidizing economic redevelopment programs that can gainfully employ ex-cons and young, at-risk men.

In many ways, it’s a staggering challenge to move past the U.S.’s mass incarceration culture — laws must be rewritten, systems rewired and entire communities essentially rebuilt from the ground up. However, if America is to dismantle the legacy of injustice created by its flawed policies, it’s a challenge the country must face.

Indigenous Awareness Should Syracuse University officially recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day? See dailyorange.com

editorial board

Indigenous awareness should be promoted In order to increase awareness of Syracuse’s strong geographic ties to indigenous culture, the university community should work to host events that heighten the visibility of local indigenous groups.

A significant portion of Syracuse University is likely not aware that the city of Syracuse is geographically located near Onondaga Nation territory and neighbors the Oneida Nation.

These ties are a significant factor in the push by a sector of the SU community to recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day in place of Columbus Day, an idea that has garnered more than 500 signatures on its Change.org petition.

Appropriate student organizations and academic departments should work to promote indigenous visibility on the SU campus by

hosting events related to indigenous culture. To host these events would increase recognition of the relationship between Syracuse and local indigenous peoples.

Although SU does not formally recognize Columbus Day, there are efforts that can be made on behalf of the university community to increase awareness of indigenous presence in the Syracuse region.

There is an undergraduate enrollment of 350 Native American students at the university, according to the SU admissions website.

However, some members of The Daily Orange Editorial board feel that these efforts need to be taken one step further in that SU should formally recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day on its academic calendar, but that classes should continue to

scribble

be held on Oct. 12.

These members feel that for the university to recognize the holiday is to respectfully and effectively acknowledge indigenous presence in central New York on behalf of the SU community.

Others disagree, citing that because SU is a private institution and because it does not recognize Columbus Day, it does not have an obligation to recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Despite these differences, it is mutually agreed that the SU student body is generally uninformed of the relationship between the university and local indigenous communities, which is something that can be addressed through a communal effort to increase awareness of indigenous presence.

Revamped ‘Twilight’ rewrite challenges perceived gender roles

W

hen Stephenie Meyer’s publisher approached her about contributing a foreword to the 10th anniversary edition of “Twilight,” the author rejected the idea as boring. Instead, she decided to rewrite the book that started it all.

Meyer reworked the novel to feature a male protagonist and a female love interest. Released last Tuesday, “Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined” trades Bella Swan and Edward Cullen for Beau Swan and Edythe Cullen.

The decision to gender-swap the characters of “Twilight” is praiseworthy. Despite its cult status — No. 1 on the “The New York Times” Best Seller List, published in almost 40 languages, grossed over $3.3 billion in its film adaptations — Meyer’s vampire romance saga has faced criticism for

romanticizing abusive relationships.

Informed “Twilight” readers have found Bella to be a “damsel in distress.” Bella’s weak characterization reinforces her powerlessness in her relationship with Edward.

Due to Edward’s dominance, there is tension throughout the series between his restrictive, hyper-masculine nature and Bella’s autonomy.

The concern of most “Twilight” naysayers, particularly when the series was at peak popularity, was that the saga’s young fans would internalize the glamorous nature of lethal vampires and controlling boyfriends.

By releasing “Life and Death,” Meyer turns the much-criticized

gender power imbalance on its head. The vampires still have the upper hand over the humans and the werewolves, but, this time, the central female character isn’t completely powerless at the hands of the men in her life.

Meyer’s motivations for gender-flipping “Twilight” are just as interesting as the new power dynamic at play.

While she shied away from giving her detractors all of the credit, Meyer acknowledged in a recent NPR interview that negative perceptions of Bella played a part her decision.

However, the author made the distinction that, ultimately, “Life and Death” was a chance to show that the genders of the original characters were arbitrary.

From her point of view, Meyer

saw any power that Edward had over Bella as the result of his supernatural qualities and her human fragility.

While gender-swapping is already a phenomenon in fan fiction, it’s not often that the author puts a new face on their own work.

However, those who have kept up with Meyer know that she always seems to have some clever literary innovation up her sleeve.

Apart from the four main books, “The Twilight Saga” extends to graphic novels, the first unpublished “Twilight” reimagining and the spin-off novella “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner.”

The star-crossed love of Edward and Bella has survived a decade of literary analysis and sociological scrutiny. Despite all of the controversy, “Twilight” has become a modern

classic — if not for its intellectual value, then for its cultural impact.

Taking into account how critics have said “Twilight” has negatively influenced tween and teenage readers, “Life and Death” has the potential to effectively challenge these perceptions of Hollywood’s favorite vampire couple.

Meyer should be commended for working to dispel the notion that she reinforced gender roles in her original book.

“Life and Death” is Meyer’s opportunity to right the reverberating wrongs of the first incarnation of “Twilight.”

Organization passes bill calling for changes to ‘Kiss Cam’

By Michael Burke staff writer

The Syracuse Common Council will be voting on an ordinance Tuesday that, if passed, would make drinking off campus while making excessive noise a prisonable offense, Student Association President Aysha Seedat said Monday.

Seedat discussed the ordinance, which will be voted on Tuesday, with the assembly at SA’s Monday night meeting in the Hall of Languages. Additionally, SA passed a bill calling on Syracuse University’s administration to make restrictions to the “Kiss Cam” at football and men’s basketball games.

Seedat and Vice President Jane Hong learned of the ordinance on Friday at a Student Affairs Advisory Board meeting, which Common Councilor Pamela Hunter attended.

If passed, the law will be complaint-driven; Syracuse residents could call the Syracuse Police Department if there is excessive noise coming from a house. If the police deem the

noise to be extreme and find evidence of underage drinking, they would arrest the offenders.

The penalty would then be up to a judge, who could fine the offenders between $100 and $500 or send them to jail for up to 15 days.

what is sa?

The Student Association is the student government body of the university.

SA is currently in its 59th session and Aysha Seedat is president. Outside of the cabinet, there are four committees and four boards, which report to the association.

Hong said student offenders would be issued a warning for their first violation, and that wouldn’t count as the first offense.

The next offense would be considered the first offense.

The fine for the first offense would be between $100 and $250 if the offender were to not be incarcerated. The fine for the second offense would be between $150 and $300. The

fine for third and subsequent offenses would be between $250 and $500.

Hunter told Hong and Seedat that it is unlikely that a first or second offender would go to jail and that it would likely only happen if a situation were completely out of control.

Still, Seedat asked Hunter to consider amending the ordinance so first and second offenders would not face imprisonment, but Seedat doesn’t believe that will happen.

Hunter told Hong and Seedat that the ordinance will most likely pass on Tuesday. Seedat and Hong will be meeting soon with Eric Persons, SU’s associate vice president of government and community relations, to discuss their displeasure with the fact that students committing first and second offenses could go to jail. Additionally, Seedat told the assembly it could draft and pass a proposal taking a stance on the bill.

Later in SA’s meeting, the assembly passed a bill calling for reform of the use of the Kiss Cam at SU football and men’s basketball games.

The bill proposes that the SU administration

ensure that the Kiss Cam “prevents non-consensual situations” by pre-determining the people who would appear on the Kiss Cam, both in the student section and elsewhere in the Carrier Dome.

The bill is meant to represent the student body’s stance on the issue. It won’t necessarily change anything; rather, the administration will take the bill into consideration as it decides what to do.

The “Kiss Cam” has not been used at the last two SU home football games against Central Michigan and LSU since a letter to the editor of Syracuse.com said it condoned sexual assault and male entitlement. The reassessment of the “Kiss Cam” made national headlines.

The controversy around the “Kiss Cam” also comes at a time when sexual assault is a pressing topic on college campuses.

A recent survey said that over 25 percent of female college students “experienced some kind of unwanted sexual contact” since entering college. mdburk01@syr.edu

DPS looks to crack down on speeding, stop sign neglect

By Justin Mattingly news editor

The Department of Public Safety is distributing pamphlets on South Campus in a general response to high driving speeds and lack of attention to stop signs.

The pamphlet, titled “Traffic Safety on South Campus,” goes over the dangers of Driving While Intoxicated, DPS traffic stops, stop signs and speeding, among other things. The high driving speeds and lack of attention to stop signs are a “relatively common and cyclical issue each academic year,” said Hannah

Warren, DPS’s public information officer.

The speed limits on South Campus range from 15 mph to 30 mph. Warren said enforcement of speed limits and other traffic laws on South Campus may be a higher priority for officers working the South Campus posts.

“There is no extreme change planned, just

that traffic safety will be an area where we focus slightly more attention,” she said.

Under the “Rules of the Road” section of the pamphlet, it tells drivers that “when you drive a motor vehicle, on or off campus, you represent Syracuse University.” jmatting@syr.edu | @jmattingly306

The United States and 11 other countries have concluded the Trans-Pacific Partnership, commonly referred to as the TPP, a trade deal impacting up to 40 percent of the global economy.

Part of President Barack Obama’s effort to “pivot” to Asia, the trade deal sets a new standard on not only eliminating and reducing tariffs but also on protecting intellectual property in Asia-Pacific countries, where significant economic growth is expected.

The Daily Orange interviewed Mary Lovely, an economics professor, and Miriam Elman, an associate professor of political science, of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs via email about the trade deal involving the U.S. and 11 Pacific Rim countries.

Mary Lovely: I support the Trans-Pacific Partnership for three reasons. First, TPP breaks down formal and informal barriers to trade and allows production to occur where costs are lowest. Secondly, TPP sets ambitious standards for labor and environmental stan-

dards — protections that will require some countries to significantly improve working conditions and pollution control. … Lastly, I support TPP because it engages the United States in a meaningful way in Asia and creates deeper links between the U.S. and what is perhaps the world’s most dynamic region.

Miriam Elman: That’s certainly going to be good for a lot of U.S.-based industries, including in sectors of the economy like machinery, info tech, apparel and consumer goods, and especially agriculture. The deal is also good for both the developed and less developed nations that are signatories to it — they are also going to gain new access to the Canadian and American markets.

The D.O.: What kind of benefits would the TPP bring to the U.S. and global economy?

M.E.: The TPP is going to be of major benefit to some U.S. industries, while others will be losers from this deal. U.S. agriculture, large manufacturers (like aerospace) and tech companies are going to be TPP winners. Boeing for example has endorsed the accord. The TPP will definitely boost American exports for our country’s dairy farmers and Midwest cattle ranchers, who up until now have been closed

out of the Japanese and Canadian markets.

This is why some U.S. companies and industries are applauding the deal while others are opposed — saying that it will cost Americans jobs. Overall, the deal is good for the other 11 Pacific countries involved.

The D.O.: The TPP did not include China within the 12 nations. What are the benefits or disadvantages of excluding China from the TPP? M.L.: There is a disadvantage in excluding China since further opening of its market to U.S. exports would increase the benefits from the deal for all other parties. The benefit of not including China is that China does not want to be constrained by certain TPP restrictions, especially with regard to domestic policies, such as labor rights and environmental protection, but also with regard to the opening of all sectors of the economy to foreign investment and competition.

The D.O.: The TPP negotiation started in March 2010. Why has it taken this long to achieve this deal?

M.E.: There were a number of sticking points, especially surrounding the pharmaceutical industry. The less developed countries in the pact wanted access to affordable medicine.

The big pharmaceutical and giant bio-tech industries (mainly located in the U.S.) wanted to protect their drugs from cheaper imitations, known as biosimilars. They wanted protection for 12 years. In the end a compromise was reached — five years of market exclusivity in each country.

The D.O.: Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton announced her opposition to the deal. What are the effects of the TPP deal for U.S. domestic politics?

M.L.: Trade deals are always fair game for domestic politics, and that is proper under our Constitution. Hillary Clinton faced a difficult choice in deciding to oppose the deal. Previously, she promoted the TPP while serving in the Obama Administration. Now, however, she faces strong opposition to further trade liberalization by many Democratic primary voters.

M.E.: Clinton is in a tough spot, as she was firmly committed to the TPP in the past and also can’t afford to be on opposing sides to a popular President among Democratic voters, as this could hurt her vis-à-vis the challenge that Biden poses, should he decide to enter the race. ssugiyam@syr.edu

of the leadership team that built the Safer People, Safer Spaces program, a three-hour interactive allyship development training session.

Fite said the program is now the center’s main vehicle for diversity and inclusion education across campus.

As the center moves into a new year under Gray’s leadership, the staff is discussing the best ways to overcome new and old challenges.

Fite said there are dozens if not hundreds of students identifying with transgender and queer communities on campus, and though the center aims to represent all of those identities, it faces real limitations in terms of

staffing and funding.

“A staggering number of students, staff and faculty don’t even know that we exist,” Fite said. “It makes it challenging for us to program and influence the program in the way we would like to.”

Chase Catalano, former director of the LGBT Resource Center, said thoroughly representing a marginalized student population takes much more work than people expect.

“LGBTQ students are not a solved marginalized student population; new issues are arising and changing,” Catalano said. “Just because gay marriage is legal doesn’t mean gay students aren’t assaulted physically and verbally on campuses or that trans students have access to enough resources.”

As director, Gray said one of her main mis-

sions and methods to combat issues as they arise is to listen to students.

One month ago, Gray met with a student who mentioned holding more events outside of the resource center. Gray said the center, located on the outskirts of campus on Ostrom Avenue, may not always be accessible or appealing to those seeking community or resources, and she wanted to address that need.

On Oct. 1, the center held a kickoff event for Coming Out Month at the Jabberwocky Café.

Students shared stories and enjoyed food, games and each other’s company, Gray said.

“When I ask students their opinions, I truly mean it,” Gray said. “Their experiences and perspectives strengthen my ability to do my job and have a full breadth for who our students are and who people are.”

As a leader at SU, Gray said her mission is for all students, genders, sexualities and identities to have a seat at the table where decisions are made. She said a part of her job is recognizing that she has an opportunity to be a voice for those students, and sparking conversations with administrators and professionals who may not have been previously challenged to think about social justice or issues that don’t directly effect them.

“I have an incredible privilege to be in spaces where I have the influence to impact change,” Gray said. “I take every opportunity that I get to be a voice for those who don’t often have a space at the table. I try to make sure that I live that and do it with integrity, meaning and purpose.”

Syracuse students went to the school infirmary due to a physical illness and found themselves locked up against their will in the mental ward of St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Pinson and other Health Services employees “pressured and directed” Smith to go to the hospital, the lawsuit states. On March 28, 2013, Pinson dropped Smith off at St. Joseph’s emergency room, where, after meeting with hospital employees, he was transferred to St. Joseph’s Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program, according to the lawsuit.

“Syracuse students went to the school infirmary due to a physical illness and found themselves locked up against their will in the mental ward of St. Joseph’s Hospital,” said

Marc Held, Smith’s attorney.

Smith was in the mental ward from March 28 to April 3 — a total of seven days, the lawsuit states. While there, his personal possessions were confiscated, he had limited outside communication, was forced to take “inappropriate” medications and received limited examination by the hospital, according to the lawsuit.

In all, the experience caused Smith mental and emotional anguish and physical pain and suffering, the lawsuit states.

their ties with the campus community. After the online application, there were two phone interviews and the candidates had to be vetted.

“It was a long process, but I’m really glad I did it,” Skaller said.

Skaller said she is focused on giving presentations for organizations in which she discusses the It’s On Us campaign and her role on the campus as a student ambassador. She is also heavily targeting social media to spread awareness about the campaign, to inform the public on how to get involved and to create a conversation about the definition of consent.

Her social media impact is being tracked through the hashtag she created — #itsonussu.

“I don’t want anybody else to have to go through what I’ve had to go through,” Skaller said. “I really want to see a change, I want to be able to feel safe in my own community and I want everyone else to be able to feel safe in their own community.”

Skaller has been working with the Office of Health Promotions at SU to help plan events for the National Week of Action, which will take place Nov. 8-Nov. 14. The week is organized by the It’s On Us campaign to mobilize students to

take action in preventing sexual assault.

Katelyn Cowen, the director of the Office of Health Promotions, said she is excited about the partnership with Skaller. Although the university has programs in place for incoming first-year students to get educated on sexual assault, Cowen said she is aware that more still needs to be done.

“We’re still learning ourselves,” Cowen said. “It’s a great opportunity to have national connections and conversations which we’re really excited about.”

ling students in violation of it.

Some critics claim the definition limits academic freedom on college campuses, while others say the definition protects the university community from being subjected to hate speech.

SU faced a similar debate last fall when University Senators Mark Rupert and Margaret Susan Thompson introduced an academic freedom resolution to the University Senate.

The resolution concerned the firing of Steven Salaita, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who lost his job after tweeting controversial thoughts about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The resolution sought to uphold faculty governance in issues of hiring and firing, said Rupert, who is a political science professor.

After extensive discussion, Rupert said in an email that the resolution was abandoned.

The conflict lied in preserving free speech among faculty members and making sure

SU didn’t appear that it was condoning hate speech, he said.

It was that kind of language that Miriam Elman, an associate professor of political science, said Jewish students need to be protected from at SU. The university is generally welcoming to pro-Israel advocates, she said.

But problems arose last year when a speaker who compared Israel to Nazi Germany was scheduled to speak at SU on Holocaust Remembrance Day, Elman said, so she and other professors tried to get the university to reschedule his talk for another time. The request was denied on the grounds of academic freedom, Elman said.

While Elman said she promotes studying adverse ideas, she added that universities must be mindful of how they’re presenting them.

“I can see the value in studying them, but I don’t see the value in giving them a podium,” Elman said. “I don’t want to work in a place like that, where any bigot can come in and speak.”

The State Department definition could be a valuable guide for universities when they look at anti-Semitism, Elman said, because it suggests there are ways in which the demonization of Jews is starting to be applied to Israel and Israelis.

But Rupert said he believes the definition may incorrectly draw a parallel between political criticism of Israeli policies and anti-Semitic hate speech. The end result could be a stale, one-sided conversation about global policy.

Above that, Rupert said, it could limit free speech on college campuses.

“I fear that using the State Department guidelines would have a chilling effect on important public debates that ought to be happening on American campuses,” Rupert said.

SU was not immediately available at press time to answer if the university would consider adopting the State Department definition.

The letter that accompanies the Change.org petition is addressed to the SU Board of Trustees, University College Dean Bea Gonzalez and Syracuse University.

There are 125 American Native or Alaska Native students at SU, according to the Office

of Institutional Research and Assessment.

Vicky Zhou, a junior psychology major at SU, said she attended the rally on the Quad because she wanted to support her friends who are indigenous.

“Clearly no matter what race you are, there

are a lot of different students coming out here and actively wanting to know about Native American culture and that really means something because that means students actually care about the Native people,” she said.

At SU, Navot said she felt accepted. SU has a zero-tolerance policy toward hate speech and with 16 percent of its undergraduate population being Jewish, it has one of the top 60 Jewish populations in the nation, according to Hillel International’s website.

But some colleges are at a crossroads between preserving free speech and ensuring that Israeli Jewish students feel safe.

The University of California is facing pressure from students, alumni, trustees and, allegedly, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), to adopt the State Department’s definition of anti-Semitism into the UC system. If the definition — which applies specifically to criticisms of Israel — were to be adopted at UC, members of the university’s governing board of regents may consider suspending or expel-

The

jazz age Former professor discusses career as jazz musician

By Annie Palmer development editor

I

t can be difficult to break down a musician’s mind, where words become sounds, colors become feelings and arms become instruments.

But when Joe Riposo plays his saxophone, all those abstract ideas make sense. The easiest way to understand is to listen.

“Music’s not a prescription, it’s learning to play how you feel,” Riposo said. He’s been told that when he plays — eyes closed and confident — whatever instrument it is, it becomes an extension of him.

For Riposo, 82, music might as well be his first language. His list of careers and accomplishments can be arranged much like the tracklist

of a jazz album: Track one being chief instructor of the United States Army School of Music in the 1950s, all the way down to track eight, when he was the Director of Jazz Studies in the College of Visual and Performing Arts for nearly 28 years.

But some tracks are hidden. Riposo won’t readily tell you that he’s played with such jazz legends as Dizzy Gillespie, Natalie and Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and Tony Bennett, among others. He won’t tell you that he’s been honored by the New York State Senate for his lifetime achievements as a musician and a teacher. He said he doesn’t like to “drop names.”

What he will tell you is how he came to love jazz, and continues to today.

“I wanted to be a classical clarinetist because I thought my father would appreciate that more,

it might be more respectable,” Riposo said. That is, until he heard a Swedish jazz clarinetist.

“When I heard him play, I said ‘Wow.’ And from that moment on, I started playing jazz.”

He still plays concerts in Washington D.C. and Tennessee. On the first Wednesday of every month at the Syracuse Suds Factory in Armory Square, he performs in his hometown.

The Suds Factory isn’t too far from where Riposo played his first shows. As a 16-year-old, he would make the rounds in Syracuse’s gin mills, biergartens and jazz clubs — a vibrant scene that is now a distant memory, Riposo said.

He would eagerly walk up to the stage, met by adults playing piano, drums and saxophones, carrying the clarinet his older brother had gifted see jazz

Leaked photos of H&M’s Balmain collaboration creates necessary buzz

Y

ou have less than a month to save up some money because on Nov. 5, H&M will be flooded with its newest collaboration with Balmain. Based on the photos that leaked over Instagram Thursday — and the hype generated by the leak — it looks like it’s going to be a good one.

JACKIE HOMAN

PROBABLY WEARING PAJAMAS

Although a full preview of a designer collaboration is typically shown a couple of weeks before the

release, H&M did not intend for the world to see the collection this early. That was compromised last week when a Chicago woman put dozens of photos of the collection on her Instagram.

Kathryn Swartz Rees had only a couple hundred followers on social media and no clear ties to the fash-

ion industry. In an interview with The Cut, she said she just happened to search at the right time and came upon the H&M URL that contained all the photos. That H&M link was taken down immediately after the leak, and the Instagram account (@kswartz83) removed all photos of the collection. Sunday, Swartz Rees

Instagrammed a note saying that H&M reps requested she take down the photos, and she complied.

Despite the efforts to clean up the chaos, once something is on the Internet, it is there for good. Evidently, screenshots were taken and the photos are now in the hands of

jazz age him. He heard him playing it in his room — the first time a 10-year-old Riposo had ever picked up a clarinet — and gave it to him right then and there.

“He couldn’t believe it was me who was playing it,” Riposo said. “He said, ‘That’s your clarinet, kid, you keep it.’”

As Riposo went from club to club, he became exposed to the malleability of jazz music. Even if a band in the Clover Club was playing the same song as the band at Luigi’s Jazz Centre, it would sound different every time he heard it. That was what made him want to pursue jazz over classical music, he said.

“They [jazz musicians] all had their own kind of musical fingerprint, or style and that intrigued me,” Riposo said. “I thought, there’s got to be something to this.”

In the 1950s, any jazz that wasn’t classical was looked down upon, Riposo said. Perhaps it was musicians like Miles Davis, Bill Evans or John Coltrane who were so prolific in their craft but died from overdosing on drugs so young that attributed to the perception, he said.

So when he started an underground jazz band while he was a student at Syracuse University, Riposo said the dean was less than pleased. The dean told him to shut down the club or he’d lose his scholarship, he said.

For all the dean knew, the band was gone. But in the basement of SU’s student center — at that time near South Crouse Avenue and Marshall Street — they continued to play, filling students’ ears with sounds reminiscent of legendary drummer Buddy Rich, Riposo said.

“Jazz at that time became a part of me,” Riposo said, adding that throughout his time at SU, he would play in restaurants, such as the nearby Three Rivers Inn. Sometimes he would play until

RIPOSO (LEFT) performed at local restaurants throughout his time as a student at SU. He would often do his homework between his sets.

At the time he attended SU, types of jazz other than classical jazz were largely frowned upon. logan reidsma photo editor

3 a.m., but in between sets, he would go up to his dressing room and finish his homework.

Although Riposo was still learning the fundamentals of classical jazz at SU, he felt it was necessary to get out and play. This idea would later be a major principle as he taught students in VPA. “For me, in order to be a good teacher, you can’t teach anything you haven’t experienced,” Riposo said. “So that was my back-

ground to become a good teacher, because I had that experience.”

These skill sets — being both a teacher and a player — were what made Riposo such a valuable professor, said John Coggiola, who currently serves as VPA’s director of jazz studies. Coggiola grew to know Riposo when Coggiola was a music education professor in the late 1990’s.

Riposo even named a big band jazz song after Coggiola, titled “Cool Strut.”

The two would play and teach together, up until Riposo left SU in 2013. What Coggiola said he remembers most about their relationship is a chemistry and like-mindedness that’s hard to find.

“To tell you the truth, I’ve never worked with anybody that I can do that with like I had with Joe,” Coggiola said.

And just how Riposo is as a professor who Coggiola said left lasting impressions on his students, Riposo said it was one of his mentors whose words, to this day, continue to guide him.

One day, while practicing with clarinetist and teacher Howard Simmons, Riposo said he

purposely “screwed up” the keys. Simmons became so frustrated that he exasperatedly yelled at him, opened his desk drawer and pulled out his clarinet — an instrument Simmons had quit playing.

Upon hearing Simmons play, Riposo was simultaneously transfixed and confused.

“I thought, ‘Wow, what a gorgeous sound.’ But I said, ‘Dr. Simmons, how come you quit playing?’”

Riposo said. “He said he quit because he didn’t want to see the other side of the mountain.”

What he meant, Riposo said, was that people only remember musicians by their last performance. For Simmons, he wanted it to quit at the peak of his career.

Seventy-two years after Riposo first picked up the clarinet, he’s still at the top of the mountain. For now, he doesn’t show any signs of coming down.

“I hope I’m going to be smart enough to realize that it’s my time to go,” Riposo said. “But so far, I feel great.”

you create hype.” Since media attention and excitement from fans is such a large part of special releases, Rousteing and H&M may just have to thank Swartz Rees and her lucky discovery.

As for the collection, shoppers can expect edgy statement pieces, like embellished dresses, furry jackets and bold jewelry, among other pieces. The collaboration ties the French house’s glamorous aesthetic with H&M’s ease and lower price points.

As with any designer collaboration, it is expected to sell out fast — people will surely line up around the block at stores across the nation and break the Internet to buy out the online goods. Now that we can see most of the clothes online through this leak, it’s time to make a shopping list.

homan who-knows-how-many people. H&M handled the frenzy with ease, releasing a statement to confirm that the photos were legitimate. The company said it was happy with the positive reactions to the photos, and it is looking forward to sharing more in the coming weeks.

Although Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing and H&M have been creating anticipation for the collection release with occasional teasers, like showing off looks from the collection on Kendall Jenner and Jourdan Dunn at the Billboard Music Awards, it seems that this accidental leak has caused more buzz than any intentional sneak preview.

An open letter to American Apparel as company faces bankruptcy, possible shutdown

By Alexis McDonell staff writer

Dear American Apparel, This has been a hard year for you. In 2015, your debt has crippled business, sales have been on the decline with almost no hope of ever rising again, employees are complaining and ex-CEO and founder Dov Charney just won’t seem to go away (nor will that lawsuit between you two). Not to mention, last week you filed for bankruptcy. What a sad day it was for actual American-made businesses.

But in reality, your bankruptcy could be what saves you. Without that, you wouldn’t have been able to reduce your debt by debt-for-equity conversion and keep your Los Angeles manufacturing operations running.

Without bankruptcy, you would have been

signing your own death wish.

Wet Seal, Delia’s, and Body Central have all already gone under this year, but you, you may be able to stick it out. You started in 1989 as a T-shirt label and continued as a front-runner of the alternative, edgy look of the ‘90s and early 2000s with your bodysuits and disco pants (which you can still pretty much get if you shop there today). You committed yourself to being a brand that would supply local jobs in Los Angeles, priding yourself as one of the few brands that is actually made in the U.S., rather than China, Bangladesh, India or Vietnam. No outsourcing here!

Some people might say you’re overpriced for basics you could get somewhere else for 10 bucks cheaper, but here’s the truth: you can get similar basics somewhere else for $10 cheaper that will fall apart within a year. America has

become so obsessed with fast fashion that quality has diminished as an effect. But not for you. Your clothes are a buy once, last forever-type deal.

While people might be bashing you for your questionable advertising techniques, they can’t deny that your clothes and the bulk of your business aren’t questionable; they’re the real deal. That shirt I bought my sophomore year of high school? Yep, I can still wear it as a senior in college and can probably wear it for the next five years of my life (because after then I should probably look nice for a real job).

Your fabric doesn’t fall apart in the washing machine. Your hemlines are even. I can mix and match any of your pieces to create hundreds of different outfit options. You still keep up with the trends, so I can get those just-in trendy pieces that I see in magazines for a

better quality than I can get elsewhere. You keep things interesting with bold patterns and fabrics. You might have pretty much all basics in your stores, but you don’t always keep them simple — you always have a different take.

You also have a voice. I can tell any one of your pieces from a mile away — the leggings, the patterned bodysuits, the denim-buttoned skirts, the high neck ribbed sweaters, the shiny Lycra everything. You are iconic.

So don’t give up, American Apparel. Things might look dim, but you have a following.

There are plenty of us who love our basics that are going to last us until the end of time. And we’ll show up at your doors with our own shopping bags. We’ll shop until we drop, not you.

Love, Your loyal American Apparel customers admcdone@syr.edu

man with a silky smooth jumper might see a significant role for an SU team that lacks significant depth in the frontcourt. During the first week of practice, he’s shown ability to score against junior forward Tyler Roberson, and was able to get guard Trevor Cooney open with his strong on-ball screens.

Before practice, he’s been working with assistant coach Adrian Autry on his jump shot.

Lydon, along with DaJuan Coleman, Chinonso Obokoh, and Roberson, make up the only scholarship players expected to see significant time in the frontcourt.

Malachi Richardson: The 6-foot-6, 195-

pound guard has a legitimate shot to crack the starting lineup when the Orange faces Lehigh to start the season on Nov. 13. The New Jersey native was a four-start commit and fits the Orange blueprint for lanky guards with the ability to shoot from the outside.

He’s shown a knack for knocking down an outside jumper as well as driving to the rim, and if inserted into the starting five, would give the Orange a smaller, but athletic lineup.

Franklin Howard: The 6-foot-4, 170-pound freshman guard has struggled on both ends of the court in practice, at times not getting wide enough on the wing on offense and letting ball-handlers split him atop the zone.

He has showed some potential on his longrange shooting ability, but may have a longer

road than Richardson and Lydon to crack Boeheim’s typically shallow rotation. sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

Midfielder Serra Degnan flies under the radar for top-ranked SU

By Liam Sullivan staff writer

Serra Degnan passed the ball up the right side of the field to Alyssa Manley, who took it in toward the circle. Manley quickly found a diving Liz Sack for a goal that put Syracuse ahead 3-0 over Monmouth.

Sack and Manley embraced, but instead of joining her two teammates, Degnan fistpumped, looked to the SU sideline, nodded and headed back to the midfield.

She felt confident she had done her job.

“I play a lot,” Degnan said. “It’s my team who helps me and allows me to make plays to help them. I don’t care about scoring or anything.”

Listed as a forward but with the ability to play midfield, Degnan is the “heart and soul” of No. 1 Syracuse (13-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast), according to head coach Ange Bradley, and a primary reason the Orange has excelled both offensively and defensively this season. Though her three goals, three assists and 12 shots are nowhere near tops on the team, the junior has started each game and quietly led the team with her awareness and communication.

“She’s steady and she’s a real servant of the team,” Bradley said. “She’s solid, simple, nothing flashy. She just is glue for us.”

Even with mostly just high school experience — Degnan never played at the club level — she played in all 20 of the team’s games her freshman year, starting 16 times and scoring four goals. Last year, she started all 24 games — including the national championship — but only scored one point, which came on an assist in the fourth game of the season against Kent State.

In a 9-1 Syracuse win over Cornell this season, Degnan scored two goals and tallied an assist in the breakout scoring game of her career. Without that game, her statistics once more pale in comparison to those of her fellow starters.

But Degnan’s value is undeniable, forward Emma Russell said.

“She’s a great communicator and she’s always organizing in the midfield, which sets the tone for the forwards in the attack,” Russell said.

“Look Ben,” Polk recalls SU head coach Ian McIntyre telling him, “worry about the controllables. Don’t worry about what you can’t control.”

As a child, ignowrance was his best companion when his mother shouted to stay inside as gunmen infiltrated the sole entrance of the compound.

Polk was fine. He didn’t know any better.

He didn’t mind the “shady characters” his mother had in their Oxford home after they left his father in Saudi Arabia. Polk wasn’t fazed walking in on his mom passed out drunk on the couch.

“Time to watch TV,” he’d think to himself.

If there was one thing he could control, it was the secrecy of the life he lived inside his home. No one knew anything. He turned away school counselors and friends concerned with his quiet spells.

He preferred to bury a gradually fracturing home life, even in his own mind.

“At the time, I didn’t really know too much,” Polk said. “I was just ignorant, fortunately.”

But ignorance dissolved like any imaginary friend. Polk knew he was a gifted soccer player.

SERRA DEGNAN, a junior, has started all but four games in her Syracuse career. SU head coach Ange Bradley described her as the glue for the Orange. In a 9-1 win over Cornell on Oct. 4, Degnan had two goals and an assist. jessica sheldon staff photographer

The ability to reshape the attack and defense is something that Degnan does particularly well, Russell said, as she has become more vocal throughout her career at Syracuse. Starting the game on the sideline just four times in her career has given Degnan the opportunity to learn on the job and now she’s able to react quicker to opponents.

As she’s progressed from a quiet freshman to an upperclass veteran, Degnan finds it easier to relay what she’s seeing, providing help to her teammates.

“Coming in freshman year, I worried about myself,” Degnan said. “This year, it’s on me to set the tone in practice and in games.”

Russell first noticed Degnan taking on a bigger role as one of the team’s leaders this season during fitness training and conditioning sessions. As a player who’s effective in two positions, Degnan rarely comes off the field.

Degnan admitted that she used to only focus on her own fitness, but this season’s been different. As one of the players in the best shape, she can be seen encouraging others to keep up with her.

This year she’s been the primary “stick-stopper” on penalty-corner insertions.

Degnan admitted it’s been nerve-wracking to be the table-setter for arguably the sport’s most important play, but it’s simply the next obstacle in an expanding arsenal.

“She continues to impress on the field, and her role keeps increasing,” Russell said. “She doesn’t get the recognition she deserves, but her teammates know at the end of the game she’s a big reason we keep winning.”

The budding, 10-year-old center midfielder began a six-week tryout to join Oxford United — a professional soccer academy. It took just two days of tryouts before he was offered a two-year contract.

With the contract came rigorous expectations and methods of accountability. He stood nervously on the sidelines before each of his Sunday morning games, knowing a series of slipups could haunt him come the re-signing period.

Polk’s coach pulled him and his mother into a room at the conclusion of his contract.

In front of Polk was a sheet of attributes and grades. He aced passing abilities but was docked on “decision making.”

Polk’s soccer fate with Oxford United was decided in front of his eyes: four more years.

“It was a big deal,” Polk said. “I still get nervous now.”

His long-term contract was curtailed after two years by his mother’s drinking. She lost her driver’s license and couldn’t get her son to events.

Polk was taken in by the Frenzel family down the street after the mother, Anna, walked in on Polk’s mother drunkenly passed out multiple times with him sitting by the TV,

having not eaten dinner.

“I’d had enough,” Polk said. “It was like, how could you not give it up for me?

“It’s so long ago now, there’s no anger.

There’s nothing there.”

Sandwiched between a fabricated American lifestyle and stressful, professional-style youth soccer are aspects of his childhood he stills holds onto. Polk positively spins his lifetime of travels by remembering he can count to 10 in four languages.

He’s found an appreciation in “little things,” he said, such as the genuine nature of those in his inner-circle after an upbringing that didn’t lend itself to sincerity.

Polk leaned back on a newly curated support system to get through an imperfect start to his SU career. He missed the Orange’s first two games before the NCAA granted him eligibility following his transfer from Herkimer County Community College, and then sulked in a fivegame goal-scoring drought.

He spoke with Pepe Aragon, his former coach at Herkimer, before SU’s game against Pittsburgh on Sept. 25.

Aragon told him to stop worrying about when the goal would come —a familiar message from his current coach — and start having fun, like he did scoring 33 goals for Herkimer last year.

Polk made good on Aragon’s word, netting three goals against the Panthers.

“That kid has worked for everything in his life,” Aragon said. “Nobody has handed him one thing.”

Polk finds solace in the trials of his time growing up. He maintains his upbringing matured him quicker than others, not finding laughter in the same things as his fellow 10-year-old teammates.

He never took a single item or memento with him from the 10-plus countries he’s traveled. A physical remembrance could only impede him from going forward.

The imprints and scars from his journey are only between his ears, where the heaviest lifting of Polk’s life has taken place.

“I would hope to say ‘struggled to success,’” Polk said, trying to encapsulate his life in a sentence.

“Done the struggle part, still kind of struggling.

Hopefully the end of the tunnel will be bright.”

HEAVY LIFTING

Ben Polk carries aspects from turbulent childhood into Syracuse career

By Connor Grossman asst. sports editor

B

en Polk didn’t have much to hold onto growing up on an American compound in Saudi Arabia. He had a dirt field.

It was configured in the shape of a diamond and was the sanctuary that fostered Polk’s first love: kickball.

With each booming kick sent

toward the towering walls of the compound, he gradually discovered his knack for kicking.

Outside the walls was an unstable Middle Eastern nation. But inside, he learned English, attended school and lived as normal as the situation would allow with his father working an a fighter jet engineer.

His American lifestyle displaced 7,000 miles was approaching nor-

mality, but his mother’s desire to leave the compound led her to leave her husband and move with her son to England.

“I have been everywhere,” Polk said, reflecting on a 22-year journey that’s brought him near death

by Saudi Arabian gunmen, to the negotiating table as a 12-year-old vying for a soccer contract in Oxford, England, to now settling in Syracuse

— his third collegiate soccer team.

Polk’s childhood was punctuated by uprooting moments. He’s been molded by living in three different countries and indented by a toxic home life — he rarely speaks with his father and hasn’t seen his mother since he was 16. He took shelter on the soccer field, the only line of consistency in Polk’s seismographic-looking life.

Things have straightened out of

late for Polk — a junior forward with five goals in his last five games after not scoring in the first seven. He rides waves of confidence as long as he can. He has an intuition they can crash prematurely, having endured anxious periods wondering if his mom was too hung over to drive to soccer practice or if the NCAA would grant his eligibility to play at Syracuse. see polk page 14

Syracuse to kick off against Pitt at noon on ESPNU Oct. 24

By Matt Schneidman asst. sports editor

Syracuse and Pittsburgh, who play Oct. 24 in the Carrier Dome, will kick off at noon on ESPNU, SU announced in a tweet Monday afternoon.

The Panthers have won nine of the last 10 games between the two schools and lead the all-time series, 36-31-3. Pittsburgh currently sits at 4-1 overall with a 2-0 record in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Panthers are led

by head coach Pat Narduzzi, who coached with Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer at both Rhode Island and Northern Illinois. He is in his first year as head coach at Pitt.

Chris Clark, a former five-star Class of 2015 tight end, is deciding

between Syracuse and Pittsburgh after transferring from UCLA. He will reportedly be attending the game between the Orange and Panthers.

Before Syracuse hosts Pittsburgh, it travels to Charlottesville, Virginia for a 3:30 p.m. date with UVA (1-4, 0-1

ACC) on Saturday. The Orange (3-2, 1-0) is coming off a 45-24 loss to South Florida in Tampa last Saturday.

Virginia’s last game was a 26-19 loss to Pitt. mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman
