States that have Say Yes to Education programs States that do not have Say Yes to Education programs

The former Syracuse University student living in Alpha Chi Rho, who was arrested on several felony and misdemeanor drug charges, was released Tuesday on a $25,000 bail.

Syracuse police arrested Patrick Jackson, 23, Thursday night and seized 4.23 ounces of cocaine, 15.6 grams of marijuana and $5,560 in cash in his room in AXP. He pled not guilty to his charges, which included: criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second and third degrees, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the

Say Yes to Education adds 11 schools across US, to expand outreach at Syracuse schools

ay Yes to Education’s model is catching own across the country — and it’s giving even more students the opportunity to receive a college education.

The national, nonprofit educational foundation, which came to Syracuse in 2007, offers financial and academic support to high school students. Say Yes has added 11 new partner schools— five of which are covering all expenses, including room and board, as well as tuition.

Once admitted, students within the Syracuse City School District can now choose from about 130 schools across the country.

Out of those 130, 54 are private institutions, said Pat Driscoll, director of operations at Say Yes to Education Syracuse. Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Rice University and several other

colleges are all offering full rides, according to Say Yes to Education Syracuse’s website.

Syracuse was the first site of a citywide implementation of Say Yes to Education.

“I think it will offer students within the Syracuse City School District an opportunity to explore different colleges and universities that are part of the Say Yes Compact,” he said. “It’s a remarkable opportunity for a student from the Syracuse City School District to consider enrolling in an Ivy League school.”

The schools Say Yes recently partnered with may be offering full rides to increase their geographic reach, Driscoll said, seeking to attract students from other parts of the country.

Adding these schools has, at the very least, drawn attention to the program.

“I can say, anecdotally, that peo-

ple are keeping an eye on the program because of the new schools,” he said. The selection includes some “very nice options,” particularly for students looking to go out of state or to an Ivy League school.

The umbrella organization for the Say Yes programs, has seen more requests to become a partner from other schools with

backgrounds similar to the latest eleven added to the network, Driscoll said. He declined to name any specific schools.

Ahmeed Turner, the scholarships director at Syracuse’s Say Yes to Education, said there’s a growing push across the United States to

send students to college.

This interest has an especially large concentration in New York, where he said several school districts’ graduation rates are much lower than they should be.

Syracuse students in particular didn’t see college as a viable option, he said. With many of them growing up in low-income families, tuition was cost-prohibitive — a barrier he said Say Yes is “chipping away at.”

Students also had limited exposure to information about different options and strategies, something Say Yes has tried to address through outreach.

There seems to be more optimism among students considering college, Turner said.

The program’s received more inquiries from students, particularly because of the new partner schools, he said.

The 11 new schools, and the fact that more may be added in the future, signal possibilities for students, he said.

Last year, he said 2,148 students enrolled as first-year college

Obamacare dispute leads to shutdown

By Alfred Ng ASST. NEWS EDITOR

The first government shutdown in 17 years occurred Tuesday because Congress failed to reach an agreement on the country’s budget.

Essential programs by the federal government, such as social security, public safety and the postal service, will continue operating during the government shutdown. But national parks and certain government office buildings will be closed and paychecks will be delayed for government employees, according to a transcript of President Barack Obama’s speech on Monday.

A main issue of the disagreement among Congress members was the debate concerning the Affordable Care Act, Obama said.

Food experts give advice on dieting

By Zane Warman CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Nicole Christina, a clinical social worker and local psychotherapist, had different kinds of dietary advice for the small crowd gathered in front of her.

“You can’t hate yourself thin, you can’t hate yourself happy,” said Nicole Christina. “That puts you into a fight-or-flight stress mode.”

She and dietician Lisa Thomas led the final meeting of the “Simple and Satisfying” nutrition series on Tuesday in Bird Library. The series was advertised as changing people’s relationship with food, but the session’s philosophy focused less on dietary commandments and more on advice for de-stressing and relaxing during midterms.

Being offered to students for the first time, the final seminar only drew five students and one staff member.

But the audience, despite the small turnout, was highly invested in the workshop’s topics.

Carl Fisk, a sophomore drama major who was at the meeting, said he’s struggled with his weight, and put “a lot” of emphasis on diet and monitoring his weight. After attending the seminar, he said he now sees how other factors can affect weight.

Now that students are living on their own, they need to better understand how to take care of themselves, he said.

In the fall, students face stressors such as illness and exams, Christina said. The Tuesday meeting weighed the effects of all these on student health.

Making time to eat, let alone eating wisely, was a big discussion topic.

Students offered instances of when they were too busy with homework and studying to leave their dorm room — which forced them to eat in front of their computer screens as they worked.

Thomas, the dietician at Health Services who also led the discussion, insisted students not give into the urge to multitask and instead delegate a time to eat in peace.

“In this country, it becomes about ‘hurry, hurry, hurry’, and I think we need to slow down in more ways than one, not just about eating, but in various ways,” she said. “Worrying about food and worrying about eating ends up causing more issues than food choices sometimes.”

Christina then led the group in a meditative exercise known as “guided

Eco-friendly organization reopens SU chapter

By Lydia Wilson CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Franciscan Earth Corps will put its roots in 16 cities this fall and bring its Syracuse chapter back to life.

As an ecological justice initiative, FEC created its first local chapter in Syracuse in 2003, but hasn’t been active in recent years, according to the organization’s website.

The FEC is a branch of the Franciscan Action Network, which is a nationwide organization for social justice. The group works on campus through the Syracuse University Catholic ministry, said Sr. Caryn Crook, action commissioner for FAN and Franciscan ecology coordinator.

The group carries out environmental service projects, promotes social

and ecological justice and hosts activities such as clean-up projects, community gardening and hiking, Crook said.

The group’s first service project will be on Saturday, Oct. 5. It will work with the youth group in the Brady Faith Center’s community garden while teaching about ecological justice.

Crook said the group believes that all people should have proper access to healthy natural environments.

“Environmental degradation tends to affect marginalized poorer communities the most, which can essentially lead to continued social degradation,” she said.

With the expansion, the group hopes to increase the number of young people involved and raise

awareness for addressing climate change on a national level, Crook said.

“More numbers is more power, and with more young people we want the group to have a more balanced view of the world and approach to problem solving,” she said.

FEC Syracuse had its first meeting last week and currently has about five student members, said Stephen Terzolo, an adviser for FEC Syracuse. Membership is open to both SU and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students, he said.

“We want a new presence among young adults and university students,” Terzolo said. “We have campus ministries, but we’re pushing for

something beyond that.”

The new chapters will include cities such as Little Rock, Nashville, New York City, Long Island, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Charlottesville, he said.

Terzolo also worked with other FEC leaders in Washington, D.C., during the summer to carry out “guerrilla gardening,” he said. The group went to an abandoned lot in a poor neighborhood, cleaned the area and created a community garden, he said.

While one can give money or donate time, helping improve the quality of the local natural environment has a “powerful, more permanent impact on the communities’ quality of life,” he said.

Changes to Advocacy Center policy demand input from students, volunteers

C

ases of rape and sexual assault on college campuses continue to gain national attention, often because university administrations mishandle the reports.

It’s important that universities constantly work toward ways to prevent such violent abuse.

But first, it is necessary to be sensitive to the needs of these victims before using their private information to go after perpetrators.

Syracuse University is enforcing a policy that disables the Advocacy Center from remaining a confidential service for students who have been affected by sexual and relationship violence.

It’s meant to be proactive regarding Title IX, a law that prohibits gender discrimination in any equity educational program that receives federal funding.

The university’s policy is problematic in that it enables limited information to be shared to help check for patterns of repeat offenders. While the victim’s name is not allowed to be shared, his or her identity can still get out. The name of the perpetrator or location of the assault can easily lead back to

L AUR A COHEN

head over heels the victim, which, in most cases, is not what the victim wants.

This change in policy could possibly discourage students from coming to the Advocacy Center, which would be incredibly sad, as the center can still help students.

University officials must understand, however, that keeping the Advocacy Center completely confidential would allow students to continue to view the center as a valuable resource.

It takes courage for a survivor to share his or her story with a trusted confidant. It is also a personal and emotional process to decide if he or she wants to report information to authorities. A support system during

this time is helpful when assisting the survivor in making whatever choices he or she wants to make.

Options for releasing information about sexual assault should be decided solely by the survivor of the assault, not the Title IX coordinator or any other university administrators.

Members of the university’s administration have come across as insensitive toward the needs of survivors of sexual assault or rape by advising them to go to “privileged” resources like the Counseling Center or the Vera House. While both are helpful institutions, they are not substitutions for the Advocacy Center, which has trained professionals who are best equipped to deal with these issues, and is also located on campus.

Students should be involved in decisions relating to services that directly affect them.

The Advocacy Center has created a community of caring individuals who work to prevent violence and promote respect.Advocacy Center student volunteers have put time and effort into understanding the issues of sexual and relationship violence on campus.

Unfortunately, they were not given the opportunity to provide input on the policy changes relating to Title IX. Their opinions would have been incredibly beneficial.

The university needs to conduct a dialogue with students to find better ways to look into factors of sexual assault and create courses of action to prevent it. One approach to getting information could be through general surveys to find patterns in these crimes. This would still ensure confidentiality and anonymity.

A college campus must have a safe space where victims of sexual assault and relationship violence can get the skilled and individualized attention they deserve. SU is unique in having the Advocacy Center as a place to deal with these issues, specifically.

For the university to interfere with any of the great advantages to this resource is unfair to our campus and its students.

SA should not change title; larger student initiatives deserve focus The Student Association does not govern students and should not change its title to reflect that.

At Monday’s SA meeting, supporters of the change said the inclusion of “government” in the organization’s name would help students understand its role on campus. They also claimed that because SA handles student money and passes legislation affecting students, “government” is a proper title.

This potential name change is not a pertinent issue for SA right now. The name would not better define the organization’s role for students, as it is an inaccurate portrayal of its duties.

“Government” is defined as a group that controls and makes decisions for a body of people.

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board tion for the organization. SA Parliamentarian Ben Jones pointed out at Monday’s meeting that the organization does not govern students. This is correct: SA does not actually control students.

An “association” is defined as a group of people organized for a joint purpose. For now, “Student Association” is a fitting title for the organization and its focus on campus.

This title change is a minor issue compared to the larger initiatives SA should be focusing on during its meetings. To date, this session has yet to achieve any large-scale initiatives that

would help students’ perceptions of its abilities.

While a rebranding for the organization might be needed in the future, it should not be considered in the middle of a session.

Still, a title only holds so much significance for students. What matters most is how the organization acts on its authority. The best way for the organization to change how it’s perceived is to act on issues its members find pertinent to the university.

SA is more similar to a group of lobbyists that serves as a voice for the student body than it is to a government. It should maintain this vision and implement needed change, not worry about an aesthetic component to the organization.

Colbert, Stewart contribute to evolution of late-night television

olitical satire has taken over late-night comedy.

Last Tuesday, in a hilarious skit on “The Colbert Report,” Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert tacitly celebrated this conquest. The skit opened Colbert’s first show since last Sunday’s Emmy Awards, when his show ended the 10-year winning streak of “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” in the Outstanding Variety Series category.

Colbert jokingly gloated to Stewart, who deflected the bait by saying how happy he was for his friend.

The two portrayed themselves as adversaries in the skit, but they were clearly in on the same joke: With 11 straight Emmy victories against adversaries like David Letterman and Jay Leno, political satire has surpassed the celebrity-driven talk show as the more celebrated form of late-night comedy.

The ascension of fake news in the 2000s is similar to the ascension of the

celebrity-driven model in the 1950s and 1960s. One host, Ed Sullivan, made it popular. Another, Johnny Carson, showed that its success was not limited to one star.

Within the growing celebrity culture after World War II, “The Ed Sullivan Show” harbored breakthrough performances by musicians like Elvis Presley and The Beatles.

In 1954, six years after Sullivan’s show premiered on CBS, “The Tonight Show” premiered on NBC. When Carson became the host in 1962, “The Tonight Show” became the launching pad for comedians like Sullivan’s show was for musicians.

But when Carson became Sullivan’s equal, they spawned two generations of imitators.

Throughout time, celebrity-driven talk shows, while maintaining their popularity, lost their vitality because of a sudden abundance of competitors.

reality vision premiered extra late-night talk shows immediately after late-night talk shows. ABC also became a competitor by hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Performers were no longer competing to be on the shows because the shows were competing for them.

With the Internet, entertainers also didn’t need primetime television to launch their fame. Where they once created celebrities, talk shows began to just promote them.

This opened the door for a fresh late-night alternative.

format similar to the “Weekend Update” segment on “Saturday Night Live.” Comedy Central adopted Winstead’s vision and “The Daily Show” premiered in 1996 with ESPN’s Craig Kilborn as host.

In January 1999, Stewart took over and shifted the focus from pop culture to politics. Much like “The Ed Sullivan Show,” “The Daily Show” became a pioneer for its format that got good at the right time.

The Internet proliferated in the late 1990s, making it easier than ever for people to voice displeasure about public policies and how the media portrays them. By playing on these themes, Stewart became an everyman leader who kept us educated and offered identifiable perspectives.

At about the beginning of Stewart’s Emmy streak in 2003, political satire gained the vitality the celebrity-driven model had lost.

became educational.

Stewart focused on events, trends and people we didn’t know much about because politics was less transparent than entertainment.

His guests included scientists, economists, authors and experts from other important professions that aren’t typically visible in mainstream media.

With the rise of “The Colbert Report,” political satire has sustained this vitality. And Colbert, after his Emmy win, has finally been acknowledged as Stewart’s equal.

In their skit, Stewart and Colbert were not just celebrating the present, but a long and prosperous future with similar imitators. But as celebrity-driven talk shows have proven, if you give too much of a good thing, it becomes less and less important.

Syracuse teams up with company to repurpose seized firearms into jewelry

T

By Nicki Gorny STAFF WRITER

he same guns that are seized as crime scene evidence in Syracuse could now reappear on the city’s streets – this time, as jewelry wrapped around necks, wrists and fingers.

Syracuse is among three cities that have partnered with Liberty United, an online U.S.based company that launched in June to repurpose guns and bullets into jewelry and art.

Police departments in Syracuse, Philadelphia and Newburgh, N.Y. supply the company with the materials, which founder and CEO Peter Thum said are typically items seized as evidence in closed investigations or the loot of gun buyback programs.

The purpose, Thum said, is to “reduce gun violence in the U.S. and get people engaged in solving the problem.”

For every purchase, a customer has an option to select a city as a beneficiary of the funds, Thum said. This money will then support programming within the city to combat gun violence. If the customer does not choose a beneficiary city,

In Syracuse, the nonprofit organization that will receive the funds has not yet been determined, Thum said. Any money raised under a Syracuse preference is being saved for this organization upon announcement.

“I am pleased to welcome Liberty United into the city of Syracuse,” Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner said in a Sept. 25 press release. “Witnessing the destructive effect gun violence has in our communities, any effort to raise awareness and get guns off our streets is important.”

Thum said building a relationship with individual cities has been a critical part of the program since its inception last summer. City governments are influential both in providing gun material and connecting nonprofits with those geared toward the reduction of gun violence.

Company representatives reached out to many cities before the company had even launched, he said. One of the successful connections was with the mayor’s office in Syracuse, he said, and the relationship built from there.

“It happened pretty fast,” he said. Although Thum said he traveled to Syracuse for an official announcement of the partnership last week, Syracuse has been a partner since the middle of June.

Jewelry designed by Liberty United artist

Philip Crangi runs between $85 and $1,485, according to Liberty United’s website.

Less than three months old, Liberty United is just starting to look into expanding beyond online sales to retail as well, he said.

“You’ll see it get into some retail places in the next few months,” Thum said.

Liberty United localizes the mission of Fonderie 47, a similar but separate online company that operates in Africa.

Thum founded Fonderie 47 in 2009, according to the Liberty United website. The two companies share some staff, he said.

“It’s something we’d been thinking about for a while,” Thum said. nagorny@syr.edu @Nicki_Gorny

SHUTDOWN

JACKSON

“The problem is Congress cannot agree to fund the continued operations of the government,” said Robert McClure, a professor of political science and public affairs at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. “They see the world differently and don’t share the same priorities.”

The Republican Party’s goal within Congress has been to end excessive government spending, SU College Republicans Chairman James Ward said in an email. The Republicans proposed a continuing resolution, which would’ve allowed the government to continue running, but Democrats refused to accept the deal, he said.

“The Democratic Senate has continually failed to pass budgets and has demonstrated its irresponsibility of spending tax-payer money,” Ward said. “In the mind of the Democrats, nothing can be cut. This is simply not sustainable.”

But Democrats were unable to reach an agreement because Republicans wanted to eliminate Obamacare with the continuing resolution, said Christopher Leist, SU College Democrats president. He also said the government shutdown was a “last ditch effort” to shut down Obamacare.

“It’s a terrible thing for the country, it’s really a shame that one faction or party of one chamber of Congress has taken us to this point,” Leist said. “It’s something that’s completely unnecessary, there’s absolutely no reason why the Republican Party shouldn’t pass a clean continuing resolution to keep the government functioning.”

McClure, the political science professor, said the consequences of the shutdown will depend on how long it lasts. One of the long-term issues of the shutdown could be that the country may fail to raise the national debt limit, which could lead to “serious and substantial” consequences for the U.S. economy.

McClure added that short-term consequences will not have a major effect on the American public, but said the substantial inconveniences will eventually begin to add up.

The last time a government shutdown occurred, it was in 1996 during the Clinton administration. As a result of the previous government shutdown, public opinion of the Republican Party dropped fairly low, McClure said. He said the recent shutdown could produce the same results of public opinion as in 1996.

“Polls out today confirmed what we’ve been seeing earlier,” he said. “The damage to the Republican Party label and their prospects in the 2014 election have certainly taken a hit.”

He added that public opinions of federal government representatives have gone down across the board, but Republicans have been the most affected.

seventh degree, two counts of criminal use of drug paraphernalia in the second degree and unlawful possession of marijuana.

At his arraignment on Friday, a city court judge did not grant bail because of the severity of his charges.

Following a bail hearing, the decision was later changed to a $25,000 bail— which Jackson posted on Tuesday, said Victoria Jackson, Patrick Jackson’s mother.

“I’m feeling a lot better, it’s such a huge relief,” she said about her son’s release.

Victoria Jackson had been present during Patrick Jackson’s arraignment and pleaded with the judge to grant her son bail. She said she had been in the “worst state of her life” while Patrick Jackson was in prison.

She said she had been contacted by mothers of Patrick Jackson’s friends, who told her they were willing to testify on Patrick

students for the fall semester — a number that dropped to less than 1,200 by the spring semester for a variety of reasons.

Some students transferred from two-year to four-year schools, while others transferred to schools not participating with Say Yes to Education, he said. In addition, others went on sabbatical and were not participating for the semester.

But there was also a number of students, Turner said, who would enroll in the fall and have to leave for disciplinary reasons, or because they weren’t showing enough academic progress.

When this scenario happens, he said, it’s a sign that more still needs to be done to prepare high school students for the transition to college.

He said a higher number of first-year students enrolled in college this year, but said it’s too early in the semester to determine how the number will change. A more accurate assessment, he said, will most likely be available by November.

Though the organization has made strides nationally, the organization is also now trying to find ways to support students before they enter college.

Driscoll, the director of operations, said in-school support for students and their families has increased as part of a partnership with the Syracuse City School District and Onondaga County.

A school support specialist is now in every elementary and junior high school building, he said. He added that four out of five high schools also have their own specialist.

These specialists tend to come from a social work or teaching background, he

She also said Patrick Jackson will not be returning to the fraternity house, which she said both his lawyer advised and he insisted on.

“He’s never going to come back to that house, he doesn’t want to go back,” she said.

“There’s no possibility of it.”

When Victoria Jackson saw her son, he said he only wanted to return to their home in Connecticut.

Now that Jackson is released on bail, he will attend therapy and be evaluated on whether he has a drug problem, his mother said.

“This was a wake-up call, and we’re going to do whatever is possible to fix it,” she said.

“I need to figure out for myself what happened and why.”

said, and are trained to recognize and help students who may be struggling in school.

They are also responsible for keeping track of how many families are receiving support from the schools, he said.

The position incorporates case management and preventative work, meant to focus on a student’s attendance, behavior and health-related issues, Driscoll said.

Say Yes to Education is also holding its SAT prep class on Saturday, he said.

The class is now full, with around 125 students signed up — an “encouraging” sign, Driscoll said.

“I think that having fellow students enrolling and going to college and seeing that opportunity is hope for them and is starting to change their mindset,” he said.

Michelle Mignano, a member of the SCSD’s Board of Education, said the program is one of the “most important drivers” behind SCSD’s outreach to students — though that’s not to say teachers didn’t care before.

Programs like Say Yes gave teachers something to help them push their students and raise expectations, as well as hope, she said.

A major challenge, Mignano said, is changing the expectations surrounding the students in Syracuse.

“When you look at the poverty and you look at the unemployment rate for innercity youth, it’s different from anything else,” she said.

Changing opinions about what these students are capable of, she said, is “very difficult.” Though confronting it is no easy task, the district has many people willing to do so, she said.

“You have a lot of people who care a lot about our kids,” she said. “We’re fighting and we’ll swim upriver as much as possible.” najisaka@syr.edu

Angela Copes, a second-year student in the architecture program, said she joined Syracuse FEC as a way to make substantial improvements to her community.

“I wanted to physically help people out instead of just talking about ideas,” Copes said.

Though the FEC is affiliated with the Catholic ministry on campus, it welcomes all faiths or non-denominational faiths.

“You don’t have to be Catholic or even religious to be a part of the group,” Copes said. “Anyone with an appreciation for nature and a desire to improve their community will enjoy it.” lawilson@syr.edu

imagery”.

For 10 minutes, Christina asked the group to visualize the perfect dining atmosphere: the room “in vivid detail,” who was preparing the dish, and, finally, the “celebratory” and “textured” qualities of a favorite meal.

“Worrying about food and worrying about eating ends up causing more issues than food choices sometimes.”

Lisa Thomas

DIETICIAN AT HEALTH SERVICES

Calming strategies like this were offered in place of more ubiquitous dietary strategies, such as tracking calories or the impulse to exercise constantly.

These, Thomas and Christina said, are examples of pressuring yourself into health, to which the body has adverse responses.

If eating causes one to have more anxiety, it slows digestion, Thomas said.

“Your whole metabolism changes – the way you process food, the way you process weight, all that stuff – is working against you,” he said.

Carol Hornstein, a receptionist at Career Services who participated in the course, said she had tried traditional dieting such as Weight Watchers for some time. Unlike those, she said, this approach promotes more self-awareness after eating.

“The idea is to be kind to yourself and to work towards a goal of wholeness as opposed to finding out another diet or another magic bullet to lose weight,” Hornstein said. “It’s more than that; it’s a personal approach to eating and good health.” zmwarman@syr.edu

Ten things to do in Syracuse before winter arrives

t’s finally hoodies and jeans weather — the perfect time of year. But in snowy Syracuse, it won’t last long.

Take advantage of the fall season while you still can.

— Compiled by The Daily Orange feature staff

Take a hike On a crisp fall day, throw on a pair of boots, grab a sweatshirt and go for a hike. The Onondaga Lake Park has a number of different trails to walk through, and if you’re looking for something even closer, try walking around the quarry on South Campus.

Tune in If you feel like staying inside, cuddle up under a blanket with hot chocolate and watch some fall TV premieres.

There are season premiers of “The Walking Dead” on AMC (Oct. 13) and “Supernatural” on the CW (Oct. 8), and new series to start like “Sean Saves the World” on NBC (Oct. 3) and “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” on ABC (Oct. 10).

Fine wine For those looking for something a little more sophisticated, try one of the wine tours that run through the Finger Lakes. Make a reservation to ride a wine

trolley that runs up and down Lakes Cayuga and Seneca.

Reservations are about $45 per person with an additional $3-$5 tasting fee, depending on the winery.

Pumpkin picking Visit Pumpkins at the Hollow, which has more than 15 acres of pumpkins. Pick and carve your pumpkin, but save the seeds. You can roast them, toast them or make pumpkin seed brittle with them. If you aren’t a fan of scooping out slimy goop, paint the outside instead.

Seasonal flicks Catch up on your favorite Halloween movies to fully embrace fall. If you’re a horror film fanatic, watch “Halloween,” “Friday the 13th” or “The Exorcist.” But if you scream like a little girl during scary movies, opt for tamer classics like “Hocus Pocus” or “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”

Catching fire As night falls and the temperature drops, enjoy the brisk autumn nights with a bonfire. Huddle around the

fire, wrap up in scarves and coats and bring hot chocolate. But no bonfire is complete without s’mores. For an even more indulgent treat, swap graham crackers for chocolate chip cookies.

Oktoberfest Celebrate a pseudo-Oktoberfest right here in Syracuse. Grab your friends, some hard ciders and pumpkin ales, German sausages and giant pretzels and dance the polka in your lederhosen. Or, check out the Great Syracuse Oktoberfest this Sunday in Liverpool, N.Y.

All things apples Head to Beak & Skiff Apple Orchard and do some apple picking in the autumn sunshine.

Then, haul them home and conjure up some treats. Bake pie, or, if you’re feeling less ambitious, do some apple decorating — cover them in chocolate, chewy caramel, or hard candy and enjoy. It’s fruit, so it’s healthy, right?

Home makeover You’re at school, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do seasonal decorating. Put out some fake pumpkins or hang some skeletons. Or, con your parents into sending you candy by reminiscing about the good ‘ole days. At the very least, buy yourself an apple-scented plug-in air freshener.

Haunted getaways The Syracuse area is chock-full of haunted attractions — so many that the website Scarycuse.com was created to list them. From hayrides to corn mazes, shock-seekers are sure to find their fill of eerie entertainment. Don’t know where to start? Orange After Dark offers trips to Fright Nights at the Fair just before Halloween.

Movie raises awareness about disabilities

By Yang Bai

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

College is hard enough as it is. But for those with intellectual disabilities, there are even more challenges to face.

The Syracuse University Disability Cultural Center screened “Through the Same Door: Inclusion Includes College” Tuesday night to raise awareness about disabilities. The documentary tells the story of Micah Fialka-Feldman, an inspiring man with an intellectual disability, who commits to living a life without boundaries.

The film, which won the TASH Image Award, demonstrates how Fialka-Feldman achieved his goal of attending college and is about including all kinds of people into everyday life.

“This is an educational event with a social component,” said Diane Wiener, the director of the center. She said this movie was for “raising awareness about all disabilities, including invisible disabilities, not only physical disabilities” and to make sure that individuals with intellectual disabilities are “included in conversations about everything, not as an afterthought, but from the beginning.”

Fialka-Feldman, the subject of the film who is currently pursuing a non-degree certificate in disability studies at Syracuse University, introduced himself to the audience before the 25-minute documentary began.

The documentary started out with FialkaFeldman answering the question of why he wanted to go to college.

“Because that’s what kids do when they graduate from high school,” he answered in the movie. “They go to college.”

Going to college is a common desire among teenagers, but for Fialka-Feldman, and many

other people that share similar disabilities, it is a huge barrier that most of them may not be able to overcome. Fialka-Feldman manages to not only get through it, but also “teaches others along the way,” said Betsy Valnes, the executive director of the National Youth Leadership Network.

The challenges he had to overcome are evident in the film: To write an email correctly, Fialka-Feldman had to dictate to a computer; he had to get up at 6:30 a.m. every morning and wait two hours for a bus to go to school; and he had to work very hard to learn how to read.

His struggles and his ability to overcome them convinced the audience that he deserves to experience a “regular life.”

The documentary also showed that FialkaFeldman cared greatly for the world and the people around him. He said “hi” to everyone, when others did not. He asked the cameraman to watch out for people passing by. He responded to unfriendly forces in society with kindness. His

behaviors and speeches in the film welcomed plenty of laughter and applause from the audience in Tuesday evening’s showing.

During a Q-and-A session that followed, Fialka-Feldman was asked why he screened this movie and what it meant to him. He said this was his way of having people with disabilities come together and share their stories. He said schools often don’t arrange events like this, so it became his responsibility to raise disability awareness on campus. He also mentioned that he might want to make another movie in the future, depicting his experience at SU. Ethan Lewis, a social work graduate student in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, said the movie was “genuine and authentic,” and asked Fialka-Feldman whether there was any part in the movie he didn’t like.

Fialka-Feldman responded that he loved every minute of it because it’s just as real as his life. ybai08@syr.edu

GUILTY PLEASURE

Thought-provoking rom-com follows unconventional storyline, portrays pornaddicted protagonist

“DON JON”

Director: Joseph Gordon-Levitt Cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore Release date: Sept. 27 Rating: 4/5

W

By Brittany Russell STAFF WRITER

hile “Don Jon” is a clever and witty film that draws audiences in, it also takes an insightful approach to gender divides and the long-lived battles between men and women, real life and fantasy.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt was smart in the way he wrote the script. He was able to reel the audience in with dramatic fantasies and then turn them around to teach a lesson about the important things in life, all while revolving around a hilarious narrative about a porn addiction.

In the opening minutes of the movie, we learn there are only a “few” important things to Gordon-Levitt’s character: “my body, my pad, my ride, my family, my church, my boys, my girls, my porn.”

Gordon-Levitt plays “Jon,” making his writing and directing debut while starring alongside the beautiful Scarlett Johansson. He

acquired the name Don Jon from his friends for his ability to pick up girls at the club whenever they go out. They use a 1-10 rating system for girls, and Jon never ends up with anyone less than an eight.

Jon is initially portrayed as a Jersey Shore juicehead with a porn addiction, and struggles with fantasies versus true love. But what makes him different from a stereotypical Jersey kid is the way the character is approached. He is set up as a family man who spends Sundays at church with his parents and sister.

Despite his peculiarities, the audience respects Jon, as it is apparent that he has a serious, romantic side.

It’s first noticeable when Jon falls head over heels for Barbara (Johansson), who is a perfect 10 — according to the rating system — and who he believes to be “the one.” He even introduces her to his stereotypical Italian parents (Tony Danza and Glenne Headly), who are thrilled

when Jon finally brings a girl home.

Johansson fit her role perfectly. She has the right acting skills to make her an authentic woman, and manages to make the audience like her and also realize she is too high maintenance.

Though she doesn’t approve of Jon’s addiction, Barbara was raised on romantic comedies that are just as removed from real life as porn is to Jon. She expects Jon to become friends with her friends and go back to night school, despite the fact that he has a steady job as a bartender.

The demands and the fantasies strain their relationship, making them unable to accept something that is real. This leads to a breakup, which adds an interesting element to the movie.

As the movie progresses, porn becomes a symbol of Jon’s unrealistic expectations of women and inaccurate understanding of what love is. This doesn’t change until he befriends Esther (Julianne Moore), a women who enlight-

ens him with her life experiences. Moore is an excellent actress to portray Esther, because her quirkiness brings humor to the strange and sorrowful character, who is the exact opposite of Barbara. She changes his feelings about porn and the way he looks at the world. While this ending was unexpected and somewhat rushed, it was very fitting.

Because of its content, “Don Jon” is definitely a movie for adults. It has that rom-com style, but with much more emphasis on the “com” than the “rom,” while still showing that, in the end, love is the most important thing.

The film also shows that Gordon-Levitt is just as comfortable behind the camera as he is in front of it. He took risks, but he was able to accomplish them. Pornography can be a very controversial topic, and Gordon-Levitt found the humor in it, exploiting the differences between males and females in a completely new way. baruss01@syr.edu

BINGHAMTON

APARTMENTS FOR RENT

F ROM PAGE 16

Tuesday night. In what Bono characterized as a “rivalry,” the Orange couldn’t net a second goal in the second half despite a flurry of chances. But Halis remedied SU’s inconsistent play with a sudden-death goal to help the Orange avoid tying a lesser opponent.

“I’m still in shock and it hasn’t hit me yet,” Halis said after the game. “I saw Oyvind (Alseth) wind up for a shot and my first thing was to go to the net. Luckily it came my way, I picked up the garbage then scored.”

Although Syracuse escaped with the win, Binghamton should have been a cinch.

But SU has been lackadaisical in some of its nonconference games. Earlier in the season, Syracuse needed a boost from its bench to achieve a 2-0 win against Hartwick, and Manhattan hung around before the Orange ran away with a 4-1 victory.

Bono called Tuesday a “trap game,” in which the Orange let the Bearcats hang around for too long.

“We didn’t put away our chances,” Bono said. “The more you let an average team hang around, the more you let them believe they can win.”

After three straight acrobatic saves by Bono in the 26th minute, Stefanos Stamoulacatos capitalized on a bad touch by Binghamton defender Derrick Ladeairous and slotted the ball into the left side of the net, giving SU a 1-0 lead.

“They were beating us on the counterattack, but it’s also a strategy that helps us,” Bono said. “We scored on it tonight, so it really went both ways.”

“We didn’t put away our chances.”

Alex Bono

SYRACUSE GOALKEEPER

But SU had trouble playing with a lead for the rest of the night. The offense was sloppy, the defense was lethargic and a lazy turnover

by Nick Perea in the 79th minute gave the Bearcats a window of opportunity.

Binghamton’s Ben Nicholson snuck behind defender Tyler Hilliard and put home a rebound goal that knotted the score 1-1.

With the Orange stunned, Nicholson cartwheeled then flipped by the far sideline before a crowd of Bearcats interrupted him.

Syracuse was 11 minutes away from escaping with an ugly win, but instead it was again a stalemate.

“I thought we started well but when we scored I think they got a foothold in the game,” McIntyre said. “If you don’t get that second goal you’re always leaving yourself a little open, and they took their chance.”

Before overtime, the tension surrounding Syracuse was palpable. Bono repeatedly shook his head. The team had lost its competitive flare and McIntyre anxiously paced. Back-and-forth, back-and-forth, from the sideline to his seat.

But a strong offensive push just before the midway point of the second overtime period was punctuated by the one thing Syracuse needed.

Halis hardly saw the ball touch the back of the net before he sprinted to the corner where the entire team, bench included, went into a frenzy.

Just when the Orange was about to implode, it exploded instead.

“A win is a win to be honest,” Halis said.

“Winning in overtime, winning in extra time. Like I said, win’s a win.” jcdoug01@syr.edu

Alseth shifts to midfield in Syracuse’s win over Bearcats

By Josh Hyber STAFF WRITER

Back home in Norway, one of Oyvind Alseth’s coaches used to tell him that midfield players needed to possess a certain “bit of crazy.”

On Tuesday night at SU Soccer Stadium in Syracuse’s 2-1 overtime victory over Binghamton (2-6-2), Alseth joined that craze.

Instead of starting in his customary right back position, as he had done in each of Syracuse’s first nine games this season, the freshman Alseth started alongside Nick Perea as a central midfielder. In the 105th minute, Alseth capped a spectacular performance with a 30-yard strike that set up Alex Halis’ gamewinning goal.

“He balled out,” Perea said. “He did great. I think he’s one of the best soccer players on our team, so he fit the role pretty well.”

Alseth said SU head coach Ian McIntyre informed him of the position change before the Orange’s Monday walkthrough. Juuso Pasanen, who had started every game in that position this season, was given the night off to rest.

Alseth said he was comfortable with the position switch because he has played midfield before. He also said that playing in the midfield gives him more of a chance to showcase his skills.

“There’s more of a war in there,” Alseth said. “You always have to have the atti-

tude that you want to impress, you want to dominate the game, and you want to help your team win, so that’s the same wherever you’re playing.”

Against Binghamton, Alseth displayed his offensive skill throughout the match with a nice arsenal of moves in the open field. But he also stayed true to his defensive roots, slide tackled Bearcat ball handlers and intercepted a few Binghamton passing attempts.

Five minutes into the match, the Norwegian showcased his offensive skill with a slick sidestep of a Bearcat defender and slid a pass to Perea. In the last minute of the first half, Alseth secured the ball and danced around a defender by tapping the ball with his right foot around his back to his left foot.

“We linked up great,” Perea said. “We knew where each other was on the field at all times. I liked it a lot.”

Throughout the match, Alseth was near the landing spot of goalkeeper Alex Bono’s free kicks. He got his head on a handful of free kicks, and several times collided with Bearcat midfielders Marts Reid-Warden and Logan Roberts. Alseth fell to the ground three times, but got back up and rejoined the action right away.

In the 56th minute, Alseth came back and took the ball off the foot of Reid-Warden on the defensive end.

ziniu chen | staff photographer ALEX HALIS prepares to strike the ball against Binghamton at SU Soccer Stadium on Tuesday. After a rough first 90 minutes, Halis came through in overtime with a goal.

Toward the end of the second half and into the overtime periods, Alseth asserted himself offensively. With 15 minutes left in the game, he ran for 30 yards through the middle of the field. He found Stefanos Stamoulacatos, but the sophomore’s pass to Emil Ekblom was too long.

Just as time was running out, Alseth had the ball on his foot in the middle of the field with a head of steam.

“The ball came out to me and I thought, ‘This is my chance,’” he said. “I striked it and actually didn’t think the keeper would reach it, but he did.”

“He certainly got a hold of it,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said.

Alseth played right back in Norway for the last three or four years, but for a couple of months before he came to Syracuse, he played midfield for his club team because the team had a couple of injuries.

“When coach (McIntyre) said he wanted to try me out at midfielder I was pretty happy because it’s something new (for me to do at Syracuse) and I always want to improve my skills,” Alseth said. “He let me do that by playing the midfield.” jmhyber@syr.edu

Shafer to treat Clemson like any other game; Syracuse nears full health

By Stephen Bailey and David Wilson THE DAILY ORANGE

As of now, Clemson is the biggest game on Syracuse’s schedule.

The Tigers are the No. 3 team in the country, the Atlantic Coast Conference preseason favorite and one of the most legitimate national title contenders to come through Central New York in years.

The Orange players are excited — as they’ve expressed on Twitter and during interviews throughout the season. The SU fan base is excited — there’s a reason this is the most expensive Carrier Dome ticket of the season. But head coach Scott Shafer is a bit more subdued. He’s taking this week like any other one.

“I haven’t changed and our staff hasn’t changed,” he said in his weekly teleconference. “We’ve gone to work and gone about our business the same way we would any other week.”

because I was too loud. But I was just excited. It was a good feeling having basically a brother, a best friend, supporting you.”

Nanco was intrigued, and soon thereafter committed to SU. Now freshmen at Syracuse, Halis leads the team in points, and Nanco is fourth. The two have been integral members of an SU team that has been competitive in its first year in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

“It makes the transition from high school to here, and even country to country, much easier,” Nanco said.

What they’re doing on the field at SU comes as no surprise for those who saw them as children and teenagers in Brampton.

FC Sigma technical director and coach Bobby Smyrniotis has known Nanco since he was 11 years old and coached Halis for two years. Smyrniotis coached the two this summer in an under-21 league, and said that they fed off each other and combined for numerous goals.

“They can basically see each other with their eyes closed,” he said.

As members of St. Edmund and Sigma, Halis and Nanco played together in tournaments in Belgium, Germany and Mexico.

The more time they spent as roommates in foreign countries, the more their bond grew.

After tough losses, it was easier to console each other.

During high school, the two helped each other mature a great deal.

In each of the past two seasons, when Shafer was Syracuse’s defensive coordinator, the Orange toppled the toughest opponent that entered the Dome. In 2011, SU shocked Geno Smith and then-No. 11 West Virginia. Last year, Syracuse stunned Teddy Bridgewater and thenNo. 11 Louisville.

In 2013, it will be Tajh Boyd and Clemson that come to a fired up Dome atmosphere.

“I haven’t changed and our staff hasn’t changed.”

Scott Shafer

SYRACUSE HEAD COACH

Shafer’s defenses were able to rattle the opponent’s star quarterback in each of those games, but the head coach doesn’t treat these any different than other games.

He focuses on the clichés that he truly

“My first year in high school playing high school soccer with Halis we lost in the championship game. That was a bad loss for us, because we were a good team and expected to go further,” Nanco said. “We built a better bond through that.”

“We’ve been through a lot together,” Halis said, “the good and the bad.”

Because Halis committed early, he was able to attend Syracuse for the spring 2013 semester.

When Nanco arrived this fall, Halis taught him what to expect from SU. Although Nanco’s mother Paulette was initially scared about her son moving away, she knew he would be in good hands. She knew of Nanco’s friendship with Halis, about their bowling outings and their soccer escapades. She even was friendly with Halis’ parents and Halis was there when Paulette said goodbye to Nanco.

“Alex just looked at me and gave me a hug and goes, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll take care of him,’” Paulette Nanco said. “ … It was kind of comforting for Alex to say don’t worry, we’ll take care of him.”

On the field for the Orange, Halis and Nanco accepted the challenge of stepping into a lineup that lost its top five point scorers from a season ago. They both knew they had a chance to play right away, and have pushed each other to play up to their capabilities.

Against Manhattan on Sept. 9, the duo gave SU a sign of what to expect for the next four years. Halis found Nanco in the right side of the box in the 51st minute, and Nanco sent a shot into the back of the net. It was the first assist of Halis’ career.

ever Atlantic Coast Conference matchup. Reddish’s potential absence would make the task that much more difficult.

“They don’t make mistakes often,” Whigham said. “We’ve really got to be on top of our game.” tbhass@syr.edu @TrevorHass

believes. “Don’t you change.” “Control the controllables.” Follow those principles against an elite opponent, and the rest should come naturally.

“It’s going to sound crazy, but really just take care of yourself and look at the process of being the same process it is in every game,” Shafer said. “Big games take care of themselves as far as getting kids emotionally ready. They’ll be as ready as you want them to be without trying to get them to that point.”

Syracuse nearly health against Clemson After announcing Tuesday that he expects everyone but kicker Ross Krautman to play against No. 3 Clemson on Saturday, Shafer contradicted himself when a reporter asked about cornerback Brandon Reddish later in the teleconference.

“He’s questionable right now,” Shafer said.

“We’d love to have him out there on Saturday.

We’ll take it day by day and we’ll see.”

Reddish suffered a lower-body injury in the

Orange’s blowout win against Tulane on Sept.

21 and missed the second half. Shafer said three days later that he expected Reddish to be questionable, but seemed to indicate Tuesday that was no longer the case when a reporter asked if anyone would miss the Clemson game.

“Not as of now,” Shafer said.

Shafer also said he and Krautman have discusses applying for a medical hardship waiver.

“I think he’s got some more kicks in him,” Shafer said.

Offensive lineman Kyle Knapp is back practicing, Shafer said. Knapp suffered a head injury in training camp and has not played for Syracuse yet this season.

He did not have a specific update about defensive end Robert Welsh, who also missed the second half against the Green Wave with a lower-body injury.

“Those two get along very well,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “They were close beforehand, they’re close here, and they both fit in to what we’re trying to do.”

But more than the connection on the field, their personalities click. Smyrniotis said that the two have two completely different personas — Nanco is more reserved and business-like, while Halis is more open and talkative.

“They have two distinct personalities,” Smyrniotis said. “But the funny thing is when they’re together, it’s like one personality.”

The two compete at everything from FIFA to

who’s going to be the first person to reach the “washroom.” Although Halis is a diehard FC Barcelona fan, he plays with Bayern Munich.

Nanco plays with Real Madrid.

“It gets a little bit rowdy,” Halis said.

From competing in middle school or in FIFA games now, Halis and Nanco are best friends.

Like brothers.

“It’s good to know that both of them have come together from so far and are still playing soccer together,” Paulette Nanco said. “I hope their friendship lasts for a while.”

Halis’ OT goal beats Bearcats

KICKS

By Jesse Dougherty ASST. COPY EDITOR

It wasn’t Alex Halis’ night.

After his poor form in the first half, Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre sat Halis after halftime in favor of Grant Chong. The freshSYRACUSE 2 man midfielder didn’t re-enter BINGHAMTON 1 until there were just three minutes left in regulation, finishing the game with the least playing time of any starter.

But when Binghamton’s scrappy effort sent the game into overtime, SU goalkeeper Alex Bono called Halis over and the two had a long talk before jogging back onto the field.

“Listen,” Bono told him, “you’re the hero on this team, you’re the superstar, and all it’s going to take is one.”

“It’s a new game. You didn’t have the greatest 90 minutes, but get it out of your head.”

Halis listened.

In the 105th minute, Binghamton goalie Stefan Frantellizzi allowed a rebound in front of the net and Halis tapped in the gameclinching goal. In a f lash, his subpar performance was erased by the contest’s defining moment.

the best friends stayed and discussed their past, present and, most importantly, their future.

More than 10 years earlier, the two had met as rivals on local middle school soccer teams. When Halis’ Royal Orchard faced Nanco’s Cheney, the matchups were pegged

as “Alex against Chris” or “Chris against Alex.” But soon they’d be on the same side — for St. Edmund, FC Sigma and the U-17 Canadian national team.

That day in the cafeteria, Halis and Nanco discussed the possibility of continuing their careers together

at the next level. Halis had just committed to Syracuse and urged Nanco to join.

“What I remember the most from that is trying to get on Chris’ good side,” Halis said. “ … I think I got in trouble from a teacher that day

Whigham, Morgan prepare for expanded roles with Reddish questionable

By Trevor Hass ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Syracuse cornerbacks Julian Whigham and Wayne Morgan don’t know if Brandon Reddish will suit up against No. 3 Clemson on Saturday, but they’re preparing to play significant snaps in various packages regardless.

“I’m just focused on film,” Whigham said Tuesday night.

“Studying everything, making sure I know everything and when I get in there, play my game.”

Reddish, a junior cornerback, suffered a lower-body injury in the first half of Syracuse’s 52-17 pummeling of Tulane on Sept. 21 and didn’t return to the game. Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer listed Reddish as questionable during his weekly teleconference Tuesday.

Reddish hasn’t practiced since then, Morgan said, but he expects him to return Wednesday.

Defensive back coach Fred Reed said Reddish’s status for Saturday is still up in the air.

“Really toward the end of the week we’ll have a better indication of what’s going on (with Reddish),” Reed said. “His rehab really went well, so we’ll see how it goes.”

In the event Reddish doesn’t play, Morgan said he’s re-familiarized himself with the playbook in the past week just in case.
