SU uses extensive operation to lobby state, federal leaders

By Kate Capodanno staff writer

S

yracuse University officials say the university’s influence on Capitol Hill and in the New York State Assembly is integral to the university’s success.

The decisions made both in the U.S. and state capitols can directly impact SU students, faculty and staff. To remain relevant and ensure that its interests are being represented when decisions are made, SU strategically lobbies and maintains contact with national and state politicians, said former U.S. Rep. Jim Walsh (R-NY), who was a congressman for 20 years and represented SU along with other parts of central New York.

As an organization that employs in-house lobbyists, SU is responsible for filing a lobbying report every

quarter. The report details the type of contact the university has had with the elected officials and the total amount of money the university spent on lobbying activities that quarter, said Kevin Quinn, senior vice president of public affairs at SU. The university released its third quarter report for 2015 on Tuesday, in which it reported spending $60,000 on lobbying efforts. Over the past five years, SU has spent on average $65,000 per quarter on lobbying efforts, according to lobbying disclosure forms on the U.S. House of Representatives website.

A majority of the money SU spends on lobbying goes toward the salaries of full-time government relations’ staffers at the university, Quinn said. He added that SU uses its staff to maintain a constant presence in Washington, D.C. and Albany see operation page 6

SU lobbies for reauthorization of loan program in 3rd quarter

By Justin Mattingly news editor

Syracuse University officials “urged” the reauthorization of the Federal Perkins Loan Program, according to a lobbying report filed on Tuesday.

The university reported $60,000 in total lobbying activity for the third quarter of 2015, the same amount reported for the second quarter. The third quarter report covered July 1 through Sept. 30. Through three quarters, SU has lobbied for a total of $190,000, which is the same as the $190,000 reported in lobbying through three quarters in 2014.

In the second quarter, SU contacted Rep. John Katko (R-NY) about support of the reauthorization of the Federal Perkins Loan

Program, which expired earlier this month. Perkins Loans are low-interest federal student loans for undergraduate and graduate students with “exceptional financial need,” according to the report.

Eric Persons, the associate vice president of government and community relations, was listed as the university’s lobbyist for the reauthorization of the Federal Perkins Loan Program, according to the report.

Persons said in an email that SU lobbied for reauthorization of the program because it “is a very important program for our students and their families.” He added that about a quarter of undergraduate students at SU use the program.

While Syracuse University alumna and Democratic candidate for Congress Colleen Deacon hasn’t solidified her platform, she said she plans to take on student issues including student debt, an increased job market, sexual assault and campus safety.

Deacon filed her paperwork on Oct. 1 to run for New York’s 24th Congressional District. At the time, she became the second Democrat to declare a bid to challenge Rep. John Katko (R-NY), but since then, another candidate, Steve Williams, has come into the race. SU social work professor Eric Kingson is also running for the Democratic nomination.

I know what it is like to have this burden on your shoulders while looking for a job. I know how hard it is when there aren’t job opportunities.

Deacon previously worked as an aide to former Syracuse Mayor Matt Driscoll and as a congressional aide to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) for six years.

Deciding to run for Congress was a choice Deacon made because she said she believes “politicians in Washington spend an enormous amount of time on issues that don’t matter … that don’t affect people … (or) reflect the issues people have.”

Cafe Kubal owner discusses local coffee shop

noon hi 64° lo 55°

By Lizzie Michael staff writer

For Syracuse native Matt Godard, coffee isn’t just an addiction; it’s his life’s work.

To Godard, coffee means finding a farmer who sells ethically sourced coffee beans, it means roasting the beans himself at his roasting space, La Roasteria, and it means running Cafe Kubal, a popular local coffee business, day and night.

Godard started Kubal Coffee Roasters less than a year after he took a trip to Guatemala in 2004.

He learned about the process of growing coffee beans from local farmers, and was quickly captivated by the industry.

His first roastery began operation in his parents’ basement, and two years later, he opened his first café in Syracuse’s Eastwood neighborhood.

“We often forget that you need to take time and enjoy the coffee,” Godard said.

Although the first shop was small — barely big enough to fit five or six customers — the venture was enough to keep Godard extremely busy, especially since he and his wife Rachel had

Since that first cafe opened, Cafe Kubal has expanded to four cafes throughout Syracuse, including a student favorite off Marshall Street, and has at least 32 wholesale custom-

Godard said, Kubal is first and foremost a Syracuse company. Kubal is active with local charities and puts on local events, and even its employ-

ees are screened for commitment to the community.

“In my mind, we’re just playing the role of the neighborhood cafe,” Godard said.

SU to honor Medal of Honor recipient Friday

By Justin Mattingly news editor

Syracuse University will honor Class of 1924 alumnus and late Sgt. William Shemin, who received the Medal of Honor in June, at a ceremony on campus Friday.

The ceremony, which will take place at 1 p.m. at the Office of Veterans and Military Affairs, will be officiated by SU administrators, including

Chancellor Kent Syverud and Vice Chancellor for Veterans and Military Affairs Mike Haynie. A bronze plaque will also be unveiled to recognize Shemin’s receipt of the Medal of Honor. The plaque will be hung on the SU campus “for generations to come.”

Members of the Shemin family will also attend the ceremony, according to a release.

“The ceremony seeks to memorialize Sergeant William Shemin

at Syracuse University and ensure that future Syracusans know his story,” said Executive Director of the Office of Veteran and Military Affairs Ron Novack in a release.

Shemin was awarded the Medal of Honor at a White House ceremony on June 2. He became the first SU alumnus to be awarded the highest military award for valor in the U.S. Two of Shemin’s daughters, including Elsie Shemin-Roth — who advo-

cated for years for her father to receive the distinction — received the honor in June on behalf of their late father.

Following the ceremony honoring Shemin, the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, Office of Veteran and Military Affairs, along with the Department of Veterans Affairs’ VetSuccess on Campus program will hold an open house from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. jmatting@syr.edu

The study will look into about 24 national high courts and will focus on several thousand free speech decisions over a period of three years. However, not all of the

courts have records of these cases readily available.

One of the many goals of the project, Keck said, is to create a centralized location where scholars could go to look at the results of free speech cases from different courts and study them in a userfriendly way.

The main component of the project will essentially be to analyze these cases, Keck said. He added

that the biggest question being examined is — using free speech as an example — to find out who benefits from judicial power.

Keck said he is particularly interested in the concept of free speech because, “It is a constitutional principle that gets invoked by a wide variety of political actors.”

Move to end tipping sets precedent for restaurants, government

T

he next couple weeks may mark the end of dining out as New Yorkers know it.

According to The New York Times, Danny Meyer, chief executive of the Union Square Hospitality Group and founder of Shake Shack, announced that by November of this year, 11 of his restaurant chains will no longer be allowing customers to tip their servers.

When the minimum wage is raised by the government, owners of eateries and restaurant chains are left to deal with the aftermath.

Meyer made an intelligent and economically sound move by eliminating tipping. His decision sets a precedent for business owners affected by

minimum wage legislation to take back control of how their establishments are run. For this reason, state and federal governments must acknowledge these problems and set new standards for levels of involvement with private enterprises.

Even before minimum wage legislation, restaurants were dealing with problems pertaining to employee pay. Waiters and waitresses have the opportunity to receive tips for their services, a luxury that other restaurant workers do not have.

In an interview with CBS News, Meyer explained that there are laws that prohibit cooks from receiving any percentage of the tip that a customer leaves. The legislation only allows tip money to be divided between

employees who interact with customers.

As acknowledged by Meyer, this policy is unjustifiable due to the fact that cooks are often times the sole reason for the success of an establishment.

This pay discrepancy is only worsened by state and federal government mandated minimum raise wages, which have forced restaurants to rethink how they deal with these costs.

While the price per meal will be increasing in Meyer’s restaurants, the total at the bottom of the receipt will likely remain almost the same because customers do not have to pay an additional tip.

The elimination of tipping by Meyer highlights the fact that the government should not meddle with business. Oftentimes, the government does not have a great understanding of how the internal operations of different businesses work.

For example, when the state of New York decides to raise the minimum wage again for fast-food workers, it will be indirectly affecting employees of all food-related establishments. This is because the employers of workers at high-end restaurants will soon be facing demand for wage raises because their employees will probably say it’s unfair to be receiving less pay than someone working the drive-thru at McDonald’s.

The money to pay workers the new wage minimums does not just appear out of thin air.

Many customers will soon discover that restaurants that keep their tipping policy will continue to raise food prices because it is necessary in

order to cover additional wage costs.

Meyer banned tips to remain profitable as the state moves toward a $15 minimum wage for fast-food workers.

This move was the right one. By eliminating the need for tipping, he has allowed the wage gap to close, kept the total price paid by customers virtually the same and taken back control of financial distributions in his restaurants.

The government often involves itself in private enterprise. However, it is decisions like Meyer’s that will cause the government to realize that businesses need to be allowed to prosper, struggle and recover on their own.

editorial board

Diversity of music acts should continue Bringing diverse, high-profile musical acts to the Carrier Dome is a refreshing way to provide entertainment for Syracuse University and the surrounding community.

Country music singer Luke Bryan announced his 2016 “Kill the Lights” tour dates on Tuesday, which included a spring concert in the Carrier Dome on April 9, 2016. This is the second biggest concert the Dome has housed in the last academic year since Billy Joel performed there in March.

It should be a goal for Carrier Dome event organizers to host performers that appeal to a variety of music genres at least once per academic year. These events attract wider audiences and serve as an opportunity to connect the university to the central New York community.

The majority of musical acts

brought to the SU campus are organized by University Union; however, the group provides a limited range of musical performances and primarily brings electronic and rap artists in efforts to appeal to the student demographic. But these acts do not interest all students and often exclude genres.

For this reason, the university should consistently work to broaden its concert lineup by continuing to bring acts like Luke Bryan and Billy Joel to campus. These performances provide entertainment opportunities that are in walking distance for students and have the potential to attract people from across central New York.

These acts bring larger crowds into Syracuse, which in turn fuels the local economy and is a positive way to engage the local community directly with SU.

scribble

However, event organizers must remain conscious of any logistical problems that may arise from holding events of this scale. During the Billy Joel concert earlier this year, concertgoers cited a lack of instruction, heavy traffic and parking problems as weak points of event organization.

Moving forward, organizers should look for solutions to these problems to ensure that the Luke Bryan concert and similar events remain accessible and comfortable for attendees. Solving these problems are even more critical if the Dome is to become a destination for big concert events once per year.

The Carrier Dome is a fixture on the SU campus, but bringing in a high-profile performer annually will ensure that its reach extends to more students and to the central New York community.

Changing landscapes of YouTube, television warrant apprehension

O

ne of the best qualities of YouTube is the power it puts in the hands of the people.

All one needs to post content is access to a camera and a computer connected to the Internet. That may not sound like much, but the simplicity of that process gives everyday people unique capabilities that were previously only held by television studios.

This has been true for a few years, but what has distinctly separated YouTube from television has been money, until now. As indicated by a recent Forbes article, the site that was once a go-to for home videos and blooper reels is now a content platform where its most popular creators are making millions of dollars in revenue.

While this news is encouraging for anyone with a dream of making

it big online, it also indicates the changing landscape of the Internet.

When looking over the reported income of the creators on the top ten YouTube channels, it’s hard to keep your jaw from dropping.

Leading the pack by a mile, and the only one making over $10 million, is Felix Kjellberg, known online as “PewDiePie,” at $12 million a year.

Of the other nine earners, three made more than $5 million and all of them made at least $2.50 million.

We’re talking big-time money here with, compared to television at least, low-budget production. In this respect, YouTube creators seem

Asst. Sports Editor Asst. Photo Editor Asst. Photo Editor Design Editor Design Editor Design Editor Design Editor Design Editor Design Editor Asst. Copy Editor Asst. Copy Editor Asst. Copy Editor Asst. Copy Editor Asst. Copy Editor Asst. Copy Editor Asst. Web Editor Asst. Web Editor Asst. Web Editor

to have it easy compared to their counterparts on television.

Consider that “PewDiePie” earns $12 million a year for recording himself playing video games and making commentary on it. He doesn’t even have to leave his house to go to work.

Meanwhile, Jeff Probst, the host of “Survivor,” makes $4 million a year, according to therichest.com.

Probst has been working longer, most likely works more hours and is the host of one of the most successful reality television shows ever created, but he makes a third of the richest YouTube star’s salary.

The exciting part of all of this is the insanely low barrier to entry that these top 10 creators had to go through. They didn’t go before a network, have to pitch their show, hope it got picked up and then have their creative choices limited by the

demands of their boss’ boss.

They got a camera, shot their video and uploaded it to YouTube.

Maybe they paid to promote it and may have invested in equipment to improve the quality of their videos, but, really, they did all this on a relatively small budget. That’s what makes YouTube revolutionary.

The troubling part is that as the salary of creators’ rise, the similarities between YouTube and traditional television increase. As the entertainment industry slowly makes its way to the Internet, it may bring with it all the features that previously existed within television.

Traditional networks are starting to make the leap to the non-traditional medium. Disney has already invested $500 million into Maker Studios, a network that produces channels such as “Epic

Rap Battles of History.” More networks are bound to follow suit, and eventually, the unique power that YouTube gives us may be diminished or entirely expunged by the same entities that rule television.

It is encouraging to hear that everyday people can become famous and rich with some basic equipment and talent, but that excitement should be tempered with a skepticism that things are always going to be this way.

If history has shown us anything about media, it’s that the power stays in the people’s hands for only so long.

operation and will lobby for anything from veterans resources to financial aid, the latter of which has been a focus in SU’s recent lobbying efforts.

The university is currently focused on sustaining programs like the state’s Tuition Assistance Program and the country’s Pell Grant and Perkins Loan Programs, Quinn said.

“We work every day to ensure that the financial aid and support our students get from federal and state entities is sustained,” Quinn said. “We are always looking to gain more support for our students and families when it comes to the cost of college.”

SU remains in constant contact with elected officials and hires consultants outside the university to help with things like federal relations, Quinn said.

Walsh, the former House representative, said building a relationship with SU’s political representatives is the most important thing the university can do. He said universities need to establish an open channel of communication and prioritize their relationships with elected officials.

from page 1

third quarter

by Persons, SU also reported recommending to the U.S. Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee to reauthorize the America Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education, and Science (COMPETES) Act, which was signed into law by President

As a congressman, Walsh said he would often receive phone calls from the chancellor or the Office of Government and Community Relations updating him on the issues most important to the university.

One such issue was veteran affairs. Walsh said he remembers SU officials coming to him asking for the initial funds for a veterans’ outreach program, and now the university is a national leader in providing support for veterans.

“Those official funds really launched them to become nationally recognized,” Walsh said.

“So this shows that you need to spend time with your representatives and show them a long-term view of where the university’s priorities are, and then start small and build from there.”

In order to determine SU’s priorities, there is constant discussion between SU’s students, faculty, deans and leadership, Quinn said. The university tries to invite elected officials to as many campus events as possible so they can see firsthand the work SU’s students and faculty do every day, he added.

This personalized touch is important, especially since representatives in Congress are introduced to thousands of bills each year and

only about 4 percent of the bills traditionally pass, said Mike Fulton, a member of the Association of Government Relations Professionals.

Communication is essential because it is possible for bills to interfere or conflict with a university’s mission, and there are a lot of unintended consequences that can occur if universities are not voicing their concerns with elected officials from the beginning, Fulton said.

“There is a saying that is if you are not at the table, you are probably on the menu,” Fulton said.

To avoid being the dinner special, SU officials actively engage with people at all levels of government — federal, state and local — and the university is a member of organizations such as the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and the Commission of Independent Colleges and Universities, said Eric Persons, the associate vice president of the Office of Government and Community Relations, in an email.

These organizations often lobby for national and state issues important to all higher education institutions, allowing SU to focus its efforts on issues more specific to SU, Persons said.

The SU-specific issues that the Office of

Government and Community Relations advocates for vary, as seen in the university’s first and second quarter lobby reports for 2015.

SU contacted U.S. Rep. John Katko (R-NY) twice about education matters: once to discuss higher education issues with New York state Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and then later to discuss the reauthorization of the Federal Perkins Loan Program.

Between Jan. 1 and June 30, SU also discussed veterans-related initiatives with the congressman and senators, encouraged the Committee on Energy and Commerce to support the 21st Century Cures Act and spoke with Katko about an amendment regarding public broadcast facilities, according to the reports.

Although SU collaborates with its representatives and creates relationships based on trust, former U.S. Rep. Walsh is quick to point out the importance of being flexible as well.

“Things change in politics,” Walsh said.

“Things change in Washington. Sometimes the Republicans are in charge; sometimes the Democrats are in charge. And you have to adjust to that.”

George W. Bush in 2007. In 2011, President Barack Obama signed into law the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act. The act is aimed at investing “in innovation through research and development, and to improve the competitiveness of the United States,” according to the act summary.

In the same filing by Persons, the university also lobbied Congress, asking to support funding for high-energy physics research.

In a separate report, Daniel J. French & Associates, a firm hired by SU to lobby, reported $50,000 in lobbying for the university. The reported lobbying activity focused on veterans affairs and SU’s idea of a veteranfocused medical school.

SU had discussion of issues as they relate to a VA affiliation with the veteran-focused medical school.

SU is currently exploring the idea of a medical school that would have 40 to 60 undergraduates enter the school tuitionfree and train them to serve in VA hospitals across the U.S. after graduation. The idea of the school intrigued the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, including VA Secretary Bob McDonald, SU Vice Chancellor for Veterans and Military Affairs Mike Haynie told The Daily Orange in September.

In the report filed by Daniel J. French &

Associates, the firm has reported $50,000 in lobbying activity every quarter since the third quarter of 2008, when it reported $60,000 in activity.

In the second quarter of 2015, SU recommended to the Committee on Energy and Commerce in the House of Representatives that it support the 21st Century Cures Act, which passed in the House on July 10. The act aims to bring health care innovation infrastructure into the 21st century, according to the committee’s website.

Going forward, Persons said SU will “continue to advocate for funding programs for our students and their families, and other opportunities to advance the University’s educational mission.

The fourth quarter runs from Oct. 1 to Dec. 30 with a filing deadline of Jan. 20.

The project will bring in many scholars to SU and aims to create public events and conferences that could be available to the general student body, Keck added. Some students will also have the opportunity to work alongside Keck as he conducts his research.

“It is great whenever we can look at these international issues and bring them back to the SU campus,” said Roy Gutterman, the director of the Tully Center for Free Speech at SU. Gutterman said he thinks that Keck’s research can “help give (students) a global perspective and will help students know about things that are going on in other parts of the world.”

There are plans being discussed to have a series of annual events hosted at Maxwell with scholars, faculty and graduate students to talk about the diverse issues of free speech, Keck said.

Keck said he is already thinking about a follow-up grant proposal in order to expand the project in the coming years.

TACO TIME Buffalo-based fast-food restaurant Mighty Taco to open in Cicero in January 2016

By Rachel Sandler asst. news editor

A

popular Western New York taco joint is opening a new location in Cicero.

Mighty Taco, a Buffalo-area fast-food restaurant, announced last week that it plans to open a location in Syracuse on 911 N. Main St. in Cicero in January 2016, according to an Oct. 12 Buffalo News article. Previously, the restaurant had a location in Carousel Center before it was rebuilt into what is now the Destiny USA shopping mall in 2012.

The location in Cicero would replace a Tim Hortons. At the North Main Street location in Cicero, there is still a Tim Hortons sign on the main entrance that tells customers that the Tim Hortons at that location is no longer open.

A Mighty Taco sign, featuring a half-bitten taco on the right-hand side of the logo, hangs on the left side of street-facing restaurant.

There is also a drive thru at the location, although it’s unclear if the drive thru will be used by Mighty Taco or if it’s simply leftover from Tim Hortons. The Mighty Taco location, which is about a 15-minute drive from the Syracuse University campus, is next to a CopperTop

Tavern and a small strip mall. It’s located about two minutes from I-481.

The eatery, which is consistently rated between three and four stars on Yelp, currently has 23 locations in upstate New York. Most of those locations are in the Buffalo area, where the restaurant was founded in 1973. Additionally, there are two locations in the suburbs of Rochester.

The Cicero spot would be Mighty Taco’s 24th location, according to Syracuse.com.

Other than its Mexican food, Mighty Taco is known for serving a Buffalo staple — a Loganberry drink, according to the restaurant’s website. The drink is made from a fruit that is a hybrid between a blackberry and a raspberry, and is a “Buffalo-thing,” according to Buffalo’s “Mix 96” radio show.

The Syracuse community reacted strongly via social media to the news of the new location, with several people tweeting out their excitement.

Mighty Taco’s director of operations, Russell Jasulevich, said in an interview with The Buffalo News that the restaurant has no plans to expand past Syracuse.

“The crystal ball only goes so far as Syracuse right now,” Jasulevich said. rsandler@syr.edu

“I am very interested in being a champion on this issue,” Deacon said. “I am glad to see that the issue is being raised at the local, regional and national level.”

Deacon said she believes that it is something that needs to be talked about in order for there to be change.

Additionally, the issue on campus safety is one that “hits home” to the mother of a 12-year-old boy.

Recounting her own days on the SU campus, Deacon said she didn’t have to worry about the same issues that students now have to worry about now, like gun violence on or around campus.

Syracuse University Press adapts to changing field Text by Jacob Gedetsis

T

he Syracuse University Press spends over $10,000 to publish a single title with the SU press logo emblazoned inside.

Tucked in a small building on South Campus near Tennity Ice Pavilion, the 15-person staff works to publish 50-60 titles per year. Authors seeking publication go through an almost yearlong editing, negotiating and marketing process before the book ever hits the shelves.

“Acquisition deals with the most projects because they have to sift through and actually eliminate 90-95 percent of stuff,” said Alice Pfeiffer, director of SU Press.

“Once they are through, they have a peer review and we actually accept a book, it goes under contract. It usually takes about a year from the time we get the final manuscript to when we get the final books.”

Annually, the Press’s three-person acquisition team filters through thousands of submissions to publish two lists — one in the fall and one in the spring — that contain 20-30 book titles each. The Press staff will launch its marketing campaign for its spring 2016 list during the first week of November. As the publishing world’s landscape shifts with the changes of the digital age, the Press has had to adapt during its 72 years of existence in order to survive, Pfeiffer said. see su

Tours of Crouse College bell tower to be held Saturday

By A.J. Gersh contributing writer

Disney soundtracks, The Beatles and Lady Gaga music can all be heard across the Syracuse University campus when Crouse College’s chimes ring in the morning and evening.

Behind the towering walls of the Hogwarts look-alike playing the bells is an unnamed on-campus organization. The group is composed of seven musicians from the College

of Visual and Performing Arts.

It’s not every day that Crouse’s historic bell tower is opened to the public.

But this Saturday, alumni and students will have the opportunity to experience the bells first-hand as a part of Syracuse’s Orange Central events.

From 8:30 to 9:15 a.m., the Setnor School of Music will open its doors, displaying an organ demonstration and offering a tour of Crouse College chimes.

Carolyn Goldstein, a senior in VPA studying violin performance and music history, is one of Crouse’s seven chime-masters.

“My main role is like the majority of the chime-masters: to ring at my scheduled slot, to be very professional about it and really respect the tradition that I hold.

It’s an honor to be part of the organization,” Goldstein said.

She, along with the six other students who work the chimes, some-

times wake up to ring the chimes at 8 a.m.

Despite the large level of commitment, Goldstein finds it a very rewarding experience.She admitted the 8 a.m. shifts are sometimes hard to get up for in the morning, but said it was a privilege to wake up the campus.

Michelle Taylor, assistant director for operations at the Setnor School of Music, also believes that the early ringing is an enjoyable

tradition at SU. “Most of the time, the first ringing in the morning people are walking to their first class or into work or into teach and they hear the chime. It’s a great way to start the day,” Taylor said.

Taylor praised the work ethic of the chime-masters — all of the music performed is completely transposed and written by the students.

She said the arrangements have see crouse page 10

Columnist breaks down the best Halloween costumes for this season

H

alloween is a wonderful time at Syracuse University. I was so excited sophomore year that I threw up from eating too much candy (I wish I was kidding).

But we all can’t splurge on fancy costumes like Princess Kate or Kathy Griffin, which is why I’m here to help with your search for the perfect Halloween costume. Below are my top bargains of the season, and I’m such a nice guy I even included how to put the whole shindig together.

Have fun and remember, unless they’ve eaten it, it’s technically not their candy.

Netflix Binge-Watcher Materials: Sweatpants, T-shirt (preferably with Cheetos crumbs), Netflix account, laptop

For the guy who is too cool for Halloween but still kind of wants to be a part of the fad, I present the Netflix binge-watcher. A simple and elegant design, it’s just as comfortable as it is relatable.

Plus, now you can go out while still keeping up with “House of Cards.” Everybody wins.

Materials: Whatever your uncle wears, a large sign that you can wear on your chest or one that you can hold up while yelling, pamphlets

This one takes extra dedication, since you’ll have to come up with your own propaganda. Some past suggestions from people I’ve never asked have included “God Hates Mags,” “Jesus Christ is a 5 Star on Rivals.com” and “Do it for the Wine (Jesus’ Blood).” What sucks about this one is that you can’t really go out and get candy if you’re yelling about God all night next to Starbucks. But that’s the price one must pay to wear the costume.

Bernie Sanders Materials: A suit, opinions

This one is fun because once you say that you are Bernie Sanders, you pretty much have license to say anything. Candy should be

“We send it out for a pretty rigorous peer review process. We send it out to two scholars or colleagues in the field who can read the manuscript in full and can really comment on the manuscript as a whole,” said Suzanne Guiod, SU Press’s editor in chief.

illegal in Nevada? Sure. The minimum wage should be paid in Bitcoin? Why not? As Bernie Sanders, nothing is out of the realm of possibility. You’ll know you’re doing a really good job if the college students around you wholeheartedly believe what you are saying.

Syracuse Basketball Player Materials: Jersey, shorts, headband, sleeve (optional)

This is more about execution than attire.

Once you put everything together, what you do is go to South Campus and stay there for about three months. Then, when Mayfest rolls around, come back to campus and resume normal activities.

Mets/Cubs Fan Materials: T-shirt with a logo, crippling anxiety.

One team hasn’t won since 1986, the other since 1908. This is a big deal for both teams and furthermore, their fan bases. Your responsibilities include: only talking about

your favorite team and talking about how catastrophic losing would be to you and your mental health. Bonus for live-tweeting during every pitch, regardless of the amount of damage you are doing to other people’s timelines.

A Freshman Waiting to get into a Party Materials: Whatever freshmen wear. I don’t know, a flannel with a chain wallet? I’m old.

This one is great because you’re guaranteed to spend no money. What you want to do is get into a line for any party you see, preferably with a group of no less than 25-30 girls. What happens next is, you get all the way to the front of the line, and then leave once they ask for your money. Proceed to do this about seven or eight times over the course of the night until you just give up and order Domino’s at 1:30 a.m.

either accept or deny those changes. The book is reviewed by the Press’s six-person faculty editorial board, and they decide if SU’s name should be on the work and if the author is offered a contract.

The author then works closely with the Press during further editing, working with designers to create the layout and book cover and finally marketing their book for sale. Next, the book is sent to an offsite manufacturer because the Press has never owned its own printing press, and it’s finally made available to the public.

Over the years, these fundamentals of the editing process have remained constant, but the Press has adapted in order to overcome what Pfeiffer described as the Press’s two biggest challenges: generating revenue and keeping up with the changes in the publishing industry.

“There are two fronts. It’s challenging to generate enough revenue to support our operation, so we do try to get grants, donations and support and the university, of course, affords us,” Pfeiffer said.

The other factor, he added, is adapting to the technology to keep up. Every year there’s a change to keep up with, he said.

One way the Press has adapted is by working to excel in niche publication. Based on past professors and the strengths of individual

colleges, SU Press has developed focuses in specific genres of scholarly books, predominately publishing titles in Middle East Studies, Irish Studies, regional studies and television pop culture.

“It has this really long history, 72 years, and for decades and decades as they have grown, they have really focused on these niche areas as they have grown it,” said Deborah Manion, an acquisitions editor. “Being small, we can’t compete with Harvard University Press or anything like that, but you can be really strong if you focus your research.”

With the rise of the digital age and the use of e-books, every year the Press has to adapt to the latest technology in order to compete. Pfeiffer said people are concerned with the death or decline of the book, but she doesn’t see it that way.

“I think people are publishing and reading more books than ever,” Pfeiffer said. “We don’t really care what format they are in — we are more about the content. Our mission is to get the research out there as widely as possible so other people can build off of that. We don’t care if it’s an e-book or print book. We just want people to read it.”

joy that follows is worth it.

Savage has been arranging and performing bell-tunes since his sophomore year. He explained that the process of picking new performers is tough, as the chimers work to keep the tower sacred and selective.

Much like Lorne Michaels and Saturday Night Live, Savage and a group of chime-masters don’t hold open auditions for new performers.

If someone is talented enough, they will find him or her.

“It’s been sort of an internal system where we seek out the people we know will be the best at reading and arranging music and who would adapt to the instrument and would also treat it with respect. We don’t take just anybody up there,” Savage said.

“It’s student-based. They’re not buying arrangements or walking up to the bell tower and finding old books of music with Lady Gaga songs,” Taylor said.

One chime-master, senior cello performance and music history major Brian Savage, said the chime-masters this semester do not have an easy job.

He said that performing for thousands of people within a one-mile radius of Crouse can definitely be nerve-wracking.

very day, Jason Rosen walks two blocks to his sister’s apartment and is met by uninterrupted silence, just what he needs.

In his makeshift studio, he’s surrounded by a simple array of equipment, a microphone, its stand and a pop filter, used to enhance the quality of sound when recording.

Rosen, whose artist name is Jay Rose, launched his public rap career Sept. 30 on SoundCloud. His premier track, “Dreams” is about how he’s been waiting for an opportunity to arrive, working hard and having a goal.

“One day, I just woke up and realized that this is what I wanted to do,” Rosen said. “I kept getting better and better after practicing a lot.”

Just three days into working an office job this summer, Rosen walked away to devote his time to his musical career.

“It was my only chance to really get to rap since I’ll probably need to get an internship next summer,” Rosen said.

As he continues to record more original material, Rosen plans to produce music videos for his songs. For now, he uses SoundCloud to get his music noticed and relies heavily on Syracuse Facebook pages.

The north New Jersey native’s first rap experience was in seventh grade when his teacher assigned a book report on the S.E. Hinton coming-of-age novel “The Outsiders.” The students were given the option to show their comprehension of the book in many ways. Rose and his friend decided to write a song.

“We worked on GarageBand as a simply platform when we made the song,” he said. “We played it for the teacher and she loved it; everyone then in the school started playing it.”

In his eighth grade talent show, Rosen performed for the first time. Since then, he has not rapped or sang live.

He didn’t rap or sing during high school, but after the four-year hiatus, Rosen said he is back on the grid. His current roommate, who he met his freshman year, is a very passionate rapper and music lover. Since last year, they would freestyle nearly every day.

So far, Rosen has only recorded and publicized solo music. He has rough drafts of songs he’s written with his roommate, but has no plans of putting any of that material out for the next few weeks.

Virtually all of Rosen’s roommates are interested in music. They all frequently create music, rap together and turn one another onto new artists.

Rosen said he listens to Drake most often, but that J. Cole is his biggest inspiration.

“J. Cole is so deep in all of his songs,” Rosen said. “He does this thing where he sings his chorus in his own way; he sings and incorporates the rap. All of his songs are so meaningful and they come straight from his heart.”

The rapper views music as an art in that sometimes one can write a song just for fun and sometimes one can write something incredibly meaningful to them.

His three songs fit this idea as they are about varying topics and have different sounds.

His song, “Coming With You” is an emotional relationship song. The beat is slow and his vocals are methodic.

His most recent song “Woke Up Like This,” which was released on Monday, plays off the idea that he has been preparing and working hard to get to where he is today. The sound has an electronic sound and a fast-paced beat.

Rose sees himself rapping, singing and writing music at least for the next 10 years.

“I know my life’s going to be revolved around music,” he said. “I’d rather do this than be rich any day.” rcplaut@syr.edu

Rhynhart creates chances from wing for SU

Tina Millet at (619) 322-6161 Up and down the right side of the field, Noah Rhynhart was able to find a little bit more space than usual. Accustomed to playing forward, the senior was forced out on the wing for Syracuse by an injury to Korab Syla.

“Noah’s been kind of struggling a little bit with illness, but I thought when he came on up front first half, he was very good,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “So we wanted to try and keep him on the field.”

Rhynhart, Andreas Jenssen and Jonathan Hagman all played increased minutes because of injuries to Syla and Juuso Pasanen. In SU’s (9-4-2, 2-3-1 Atlantic Coast) 2-2 overtime tie against Hartford (4-5-5, 0-2-2 America East), the senior forward created the chances, but others failed to convert on opportunities that could have put SU out in front.

The senior has started only one game this season, but played in 14 of 15 matches total.

“He was good, was one of the best guys we had out there,” midfielder Julian Buescher said. “He came in and gave us some energy.

That’s what we need from him.”

From the forward spot, Rhynhart had found some success. After coming into the game for Nanco with a little less than 11 minutes remaining in the first half, Rhynhart never came out in the next 85 minutes.

Less than three minutes into the second half, Rhynhart ripped a cross through the box that carried to Syla along the endline. Syla passed to Liam Callahan at the top of the box, and an Oyvind Alseth shot was sent wide of the net.

Syla sat on the turf while a trainer attended to him after a jumbled play in the box with about 30 minutes left in regulation.

“It wasn’t too difficult (of a transition),” Rhynhart said. “The game really opened up.”

The injury forced Hagman, who has only

played eight games this season, onto the field and pushed Rhynhart out on the right wing, where Syla typically plays. Rhynhart said his speed allows him to play out on the edge and fill in at a spot that has been crucial for SU this season.

Syla and Callahan, who plays the other wing in SU’s 3-5-2 formation, have contributed seven combined assists from the outside and Alseth has scored on three others. That accounts for about 30 percent of SU’s goals.

On the edge, one of the best chances Rhynhart was able to produce was a cross to Nanco,

who leaped to get his foot on the ball with just 15 minutes left in the game. Instead, the junior forward missed and the ball sailed wide.

After the game, Syla was walking around under his own power. Although it didn’t yield a goal, Rhynhart’s play helped give SU a shot in the arm down the stretch.

“I’m glad that he showed he can do it,” Buescher said of playing the wing. “That he comes from the bench and says, ‘Oh, whatever.

I’ll show them that I’m here.’” cjlabona@syr.edu

hartford play and uniforms.

SU ditched its orange jerseys and shorts for white jerseys with blue shorts to help the players differentiate between the two teams.

Before Hartford could even gain possession in SU’s half, the Orange took three shots and forced three corners. Buescher converted on a penalty kick after one of his shots was blocked in the box with a hand and it seemed like Syracuse could run away with the game.

Hartford couldn’t maintain a single offensive possession until 17 minutes into the half.

But then a cross from about 30 yards out found its way over Alseth’s head and to an unmarked Hartford defender Blake Jones in the back of the penalty area, who scored on the Hawks’ only shot of the half.

Seven minutes after it seemed like SU had turned the whole game around everything stopped: the momentum, the quality of chances and the intensity.

“We came out of the locker room fired up,” Alseth said, “then got that second goal and kind of dropped a little bit after that and couldn’t get back up to the intensity level that we had.”

and went without a goal as did 20 minutes of overtime. McIntyre’s voiced cracked and popped as he urged his players to press, but nothing made a difference.

Passes fluttered through the box and players ended their runs early. Buescher’s last shot to salvage the game was chipped just over the crossbar

as players crashed to the ground in front of him.

“Maybe we should have believed more in it and pressed more,” Buescher said. “It looked like a couple guys didn’t really believe we could score a goal. And in the last quarter we weren’t really that tough or that strong.” jrmettus@syr.edu | @jmettus

Schwarz improves at point position of Syracuse power play

By Matt Alexander staff writer

Heather Schwarz admitted she was nervous the first couple times she lined up to practice the power play at the beginning of the season.

She said she would “choke up” on the puck when pressure came at her. She wasn’t quite sure when to get rid of the puck and when to hold onto it. Schwarz’s nerves on the power play dulled her confidence, but she’s hit a turning point.

“After a couple practices,” Schwarz said, “(I’m) just having more confidence with it and just getting control of the puck, seeing what’s around me.”

Schwarz, a junior, is enjoying a new experience this season as the point of Syracuse’s (2-3) power play, where she has been forced to adjust to something she wasn’t expecting to participate in.

She notched her first goal of the season on a power play against New Hampshire on Oct. 10 and will continue to refine her role as a scoring threat heading into Wednesday’s matchup against conference rival RIT (1-3) at 7 p.m. at Tennity Ice Pavilion.

Schwarz dabbled on the power play during the final few games of last season, but her role wasn’t as official as it is now. This season, the forward holds her position near the blue line — because she has the most powerful shot — when Syracuse has a man-up opportunity.

Still, Schwarz’s job is to shoot, and Syracuse head coach Paul Flanagan is hoping Schwarz

can develop into her role as a “trigger person” on the power play.

“She’s got a quick shot,” Flanagan said. “...

She’s got a quick release.”

By playing back on the blue line, Schwarz will have more time to look for and unload her shot.

“That probably is the one thing that can maybe separate her from a lot of girls on our team,” Flanagan said. “We have some defensemen that shoot the puck well but we don’t have anybody that’s got a bomb from back there... So I think Heather gives us that element.”

Still, her adjustment took some time.

While her job to score remained the same, she also had to balance controlling the puck, reading situations and making quick decisions.

“It’s definitely hard as a forward … being last man back, it’s hard,” sophomore defender Megan Quinn said. “And you have pressure on you to decide what to do with (the puck). I think she does a really good job taking her time.”

The progression came full circle against New Hampshire, when Schwarz said the net opened up perfectly and she was able to punch in the goal.

The move to place Schwarz on the power play was strategic, Flanagan said that it was also a result of the personnel he had on the ice.

Syracuse already had the players it wanted on its power play, and Schwarz proved to be the final piece.

“I wouldn’t say we just took a stab at it,” Flanagan said. “We said ‘let’s try Heather there’ . mralex01@syr.edu

Syracuse advances 1 spot in latest rankings to No. 15

By Paul Schwedelson asst. copy editor

Syracuse (9-4-2, 2-3-1 Atlantic Coast) moved up one spot to No. 15 in this week’s National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll released on Tuesday. Since being ranked No. 16 last week, SU defeated Bowling Green 3-0 and lost to No. 4 Clemson 1-0.

The Orange occupied the No. 1 spot last season, but after losing nearly 70 percent of its scoring from 2014, No. 15 is the highest rank Syracuse has reached this year.

SU has two games remaining against North Carolina State and Boston College, two unranked teams that each received votes in this week’s poll. Aside from the Orange, there

Shafer, Narduzzi meet again Now head coaches, the duo coached together at URI and NIU in the 1990s

By Chris Libonati asst. copy editor

Scott Shafer and Pat Narduzzi are accustomed to putting defenses together with one another, but when Pittsburgh plays Syracuse on Saturday, they’ll each be trying to dismantle each other’s.

Syracuse is ‘2nd-best’ in scrappy 2-2 overtime tie with Hartford

By Jon Mettus asst. web editor

B

y the time the final whistle blew, the majority of the fans had already left. Soggy, ripped-up roster sheets lay in their places as the players, drenched, limped off the field with dejected looks on their faces.

“We’ve been wonderful all year and tonight we weren’t,” Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre said.

It wasn’t the game that people had come to see. Save for a few bright moments, Syracuse slugged

out a sloppy game with Hartford.

Passes rolled out of bounds, players ran into each other and quality offensive chances on either end were at a premium.

Both times midfielder Julian Buescher found a way to scrap for a goal to put the Orange on top, Hartford answered just minutes later. Syracuse didn’t look like a team that played even with No. 4 Clemson for 89 minutes and nine seconds on Saturday. Instead, No. 15 SU (9-4-2, 2-3-1 Atlantic Coast) struggled to a 2-2 tie against Hartford (4-5-5, 0-2-2 America East) at SU Soccer Stadium on Tuesday.

“I was expecting a reaction, but unfortunately it wasn’t the one I was hoping for,” McIntyre said. “…

We were a little bit off color and we looked a little bit second-best.”

Buescher’s first goal came 18 minutes in when midfielder Juuso Pasanen’s shot was blocked and bounced right to him. Buescher fired a ball from the left side of the box into the top right corner.

Three minutes later, though, defender Louis Cross and goalkeeper Hendrik Hilpert collided on a free kick, sending both players to the ground and leaving Hartford’s

Andre Morrison with an uncontested goal along the back post.

The Hawks nearly took the lead when a pass from defender Miles Robinson back to Hilpert had to be kicked away as a Hartford forward reached the ball, sending it flying sideways.

“First half was one of the worst performances we’ve had all year,” midfielder Oyvind Alseth said. “Bad quality, bad intensity. We didn’t seem like a team that wanted to win the game.”

The Orange came out in the second half looking like a new team in both its

Cooney, Gbinije to represent SU at ACC Media Day

By Matt Schneidman asst. sports editor

Syracuse will send Trevor Cooney and Michael Gbinije to 2015 Atlantic Coast Conference Media Day, the conference announced Tues-

Last season, Cooney and Gbinije ranked second and third,

We were learning on the run. We started putting together some defensive thought and stole some ideas from some really good coaches.

Narduzzi, No. 25 Pittsburgh’s (5-1, 3-0 Atlantic Coast) head coach, will face SU (3-3, 1-1) head coach Scott Shafer after coaching together at Rhode Island and Northern Illinois together in the 1990s. Shafer served as the defensive backs coach for Rhode Island while Narduzzi was in charge of the linebackers.

“We were learning on the run,” Shafer said. “We started putting together some defensive thought and stole some ideas from some really good coaches.”

At Rhode Island, Shafer said he and Narduzzi met coaches like Bob Stoops, the head coach at Oklahoma, and Jim Leavitt, the head coach at South Florida from 1996 until 2009.

Every year, Indiana head coach Bill Mallory would get Narduzzi and Shafer free tickets to an invitation-only 4-3 defense clinic. Once Shafer and Narduzzi coached at NIU, the two started putting together packages with three down lineman.

“Back in that time, we did some things that were kind of neat, kind of creative,” Shafer said. “....We also pressed the envelope on some of the things we wanted to do defensively.” cjlabona@syr.edu
