SU student murdered in DeWitt; investigation ongoing

By Sam Ogozalek and Satoshi Sugiyama the daily orange

A Syracuse University student was found dead in DeWitt in an apparent homicide on Friday, authorities said.

The Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office identified 23-year-old SU student Xiaopeng Yuan from Beijing, China after discovering him

dead behind the Springfield Garden Apartments located on Caton Drive on Friday afternoon, according to a report from the sheriff’s office.

Deputies and the DeWitt Police Department responded to 911 calls from residents in the apartment who reported they heard gunshots in the area, according to the report.

No suspects have been identi-

fied, per the report.

Tasha Epps, a 37-year-old woman who has lived in the apartment complex for nine months, said she heard no gunshots Friday afternoon.

Epps said she was asleep in her living room around the time the shots were reported.

“I haven’t seen anything or heard anything, so it doesn’t really bother me,” Epps said. “My kids

didn’t see anything so they’re OK.” This was the first time “anything like this” had occurred in her area of the complex since she moved in, Epps said. She added that she was unsure if other areas of Springfield Garden Apartments have experienced violence since she moved in.

But multiple stabbings and at least two homicides have previously

maxwell

occurred at the apartment complex, according to Syracuse.com.

Other complex residents said there was a large police presence in the area following the discovery of Yuan’s body, and said they heard no gunshots themselves Friday afternoon.

Official speaks on UU funding

Provost explains dean hire

By William Muoio staff writer

By Michael Burke asst. news editor

Syracuse University Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly responded to criticisms of the appointment process of David Van Slyke as Maxwell dean, denying that there wasn’t enough faculty consultation and saying the school at the time needed a full-time dean rather than an interim.

Her comments, made in an interview with The Daily Orange, came after several faculty members said the process of Van Slyke’s appointment was undemocratic and that it lacked proper transparency. Van Slyke was named dean of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs in June, just a week after the disbanding of the dean search committee he chaired.

Wheatly said that “though the timing might suggest otherwise,” the suspension of the search committee and the appointment of Van Slyke as dean were unrelated and disconnected processes.

A number of faculty members said they were never consulted prior to his appointment, while some said they were but that Van Slyke’s name was never mentioned. Others said Van Slyke’s name was mentioned but that they were under the impression he would be appointed to an interim position.

The confusion over the terms of Van Slyke’s appointment stemmed see wheatly page 6

Student Association Comptroller Malik Evans at last week’s SA meeting announced it would not be providing University Union the funds that were meant for rapper Fetty Wap. UU, the student organization that hosted Juice Jam on Sept. 25, had planned on Fetty Wap being the headline act. However, the rapper was not able to show up on time due to unforeseen travel delays and UU canceled his appearance.

“Fetty Wap breached his contract so therefore he will not be paid,” Evans said.

UU asked that the funds that were supposed to pay for Fetty Wap still go to the organization. But Evans said SA rejected this approach due to many different factors.

UU offered Evans and the Finance Board many ways that the reallocated funds could be used.

These funds, Evans said, would be used in bringing in bigger names or financing a new event.

He added that the ideas UU presented were enticing, but that it did not have a majority of students’ best interests in mind.

One reason for this is that UU would not budge on lowering the cost of new concerts, making students hesitant to spend the same amount of money in case of a similar situation happening again, Evans said.

“Fetty Wap fans will have to keep paying $20 for Block Party,” Evans said. “People took off on

Sophomore works to inspire through music

noon hi 67° lo 53°

By Giana Asterito staff writer

Gabe Krischer is a sophomore, but one with an old soul. His passion for music is obvious the second he begins speaking about it.

“It’s like its own language; it helps me with every issue in my life, it helps KRISCHER me talk to people, it helps me express myself and it gives me confidence,” he said.

The Rolling Stones in particular have had a huge influence on Krischer, especially their 1968 hit and one of their most well-known songs, “Sympathy for the Devil.” Krischer remembers hearing the famous electric guitar in third grade, and he pinpoints hearing the song as the moment he fell in love with music.

Krischer went on to learn how to play the guitar himself, and when he reached high school, he started writing his own music. He also formed a band with a few of his friends.

The band played at parties and a few clubs in Los Angeles, Krischer’s home city.

Although the band broke up after three years, he said there’s nothing like sharing connection and energy

through the love of music.

When Krischer got to Syracuse, he became more focused on his music. He started taking voice lessons through the Setnor School of Music and sometimes plays live shows at Funk ‘ Waffles.

He says his style is a mixture of Radiohead, Kings of Leon, old R&B and The National; his lyrics come from whatever is going on in his life, and finds the best ones come through his struggles. Music is Krischer’s passion — although he said it’s a time-consuming hobby,

playing music helps him out in more ways than he can explain.

He said, “I owe music so much.

So many of my decisions I’ve made and moments I’ve had have to do with music. It’s so powerful and makes everything so much better.”

Krischer said if he could sit down with one of his favorite artists it would be either George Harrison or John Lennon, as he is a huge Beatles fan.

Right now Krischer is working on finding his own sound and wants to put out more of his own music soon.

A great final product is important to

him, and wants it to be the best it can be; he said he won’t release anything until he thinks it’s perfect.

Krischer’s dream is to be a musician and to take in all of life’s experiences. Most importantly, he wants to be able to help people through their day with his own music, the way his favorite artists helped him.

“What I love about music is, you can connect with someone you have absolutely nothing in common with, but if they make you feel that sort of way… it’s incredible,” Krischer said. gnasteri@syr.edu

SU holds sexual assault awareness week

By Stacy Fernandez asst. news editor

Syracuse University’s Panhellenic Council will host the university’s first ever Red Zone Awareness Week starting Monday.

During the week, members of Greek life will be tabling in the Schine Student Center Atrium and collecting toiletry donations for Vera House, a domestic and sexual violence shelter in Syracuse. The week will also feature an “Enough is Enough” training for Greek councils and a talk about pornography in relation to domestic and sexual violence.

The Red Zone lasts about six weeks, from the beginning of the fall semester until Thanksgiving break, during which college students are more likely to be assaulted, said Nicole Sherwood, a senior

public relations major and president of SU’s Panhellenic Council.

More than 50 percent of sexual assaults occur during this time, according to statistics released by RAINN.

50

Percent of college sexual assaults occur in either August, September, October or November.

The Panhellenic Council at SU does the majority of their sexual assault Awareness campaigns during the spring. However, upon learning about the Red Zone, officials in the council decided to hold a week of awareness in the fall, since that is when sexual assault

is most prevalent, Sherwood said.

Sherwood added that she has been working closely with the Office of Health Promotion and Samantha Skaller, a senior viola performance and music history and cultures dual major and member of the national It’s On Us Advisory Committee, for advice and guidance.

The biggest event of the week will be the Quad display, Sherwood said.

One hundred different shirts — 80 of them white and 20 red — will represent that one in five women get sexually assaulted before they graduate.

The display will be accompanied by signs with statistics throughout the Quad. They chose to do shirts because shirts are gender neutral and they thought it wouldn’t be triggering to survivors, Sherwood said.

“We want to get people to stop and look and actually see that it’s

a materialized number,” Sherwood said.

A major part of Red Zone Awareness Week will be done in collaboration with local bars which include Faegan’s Cafe & Pub, Chuck’s Cafe, Lucy’s Retired Surfers Bar, Harry’s Bar and DJ’s On the Hill, said Daria Grineva-Oganesyan, program director for the event and a senior international relations major.

Starting Tuesday, the bars will rotate the days they participate.

Each bar will replace their stamps, which are used to the coverage charge has been paid, with one of the five stamps created for the campaign, Oganesyan said.

Among the stamps are phrases of empowerment: “Yes means yes,” “Our community our responsibility,” “#Theredzone” see red

Disorder advocate speaks to university students

By Sam Ogozalek staff writer

Syracuse University students, escaping a late Sunday evening downpour, watched slides of a young man laughing and running flash across a screen — a young man that would eventually die of an overdose in October 2013.

A nonprofit group gave a presentation on co-occurring disorders, kicking off SU’s inaugural Mental Health Awareness Week on Sunday in the Hall of Languages at 7 p.m.

Stephanie Marquesano, the founder of The Harris Project organization, spoke before a crowd of roughly 40 SU students and regional residents, detail-

ing what co-occurring disorders are and how the disorder classification does not receive enough attention by policymakers and rehabilitation programs.

“We really are the only ones talking about it,” Marquesano said.

A co-occurring disorder is a diagnosis of one or more mental health conditions and substance

misuses or abuses, Marquesano said near the beginning of her roughly hour-long presentation.

Marquesano said The Harris Project was formed after her son Harris’s overdose death in 2013.

Harris had been diagnosed with co-occurring disorders.

Since she was elected vice president of Student Association in April, Joyce LaLonde said she has worked to make the ideas she campaigned for a reality.

On Sept. 12, LaLonde announced to SA that there will be the first-ever Mental Health Awareness Week at Syracuse University from Oct. 2-8.

“The week is going to be a look at the intersectionality of mental health and a reminder to the tools and resources available on campus,” LaLonde said.

While campaigning alongside current SA President Eric Evangelista, LaLonde spoke on how it is necessary to have an event surrounding mental health on campus.

Both Evangelista and LaLonde highlighted that area as something they hope to improve by increasing access to mental health care.

“Mental health should be the forefront of what we wanted to run,” LaLonde said.

University Union’s partial defunding unclear, unfair This year’s Juice Jam ended on a bitter note: Headliner Fetty Wap didn’t just play a bad set, he didn’t show up at all. As dejected Syracuse University students left the music festival and University Union announced there would be no refunds, the next question was what would happen with the money.

Student Association decided last week that it would not provide UU with the funds that were meant for Fetty Wap. When UU requested that SA Comptroller Malik Evans grant them the money so it could go toward another project, SA refused and said its plan did not have students’ best interests in mind.

While the push to reallocate funds is understandable, SA’s decision to retain UU’s money is ultimately problematic. The two main issues are the undefined concept of what kinds of entertainment enrich student life and the partial defunding of UU at this point in the semester.

The best interests of students are pretty straightforward when it comes to questions of physical and mental well-being. But aspects of student life as subjective as preferred entertainment have too much grey area. SA needs to be more clear as to how giving UU its money back would not be a worthwhile extracurricular investment.

At the meeting, Evans said this decision was meant not to punish UU, but to better serve students. Yet it seems that UU is being penalized and even more unfairly, for a situation that it had no control over.

The rule for SU student organizations is that unused funds remain in an organization’s account throughout the semester, and return to the programming board at

the end. The way in which SA has gone after UU’s money begs the question of whether the board takes such careful account of its dollars with every registered student organization on campus. But of course, the visibility and stakes of UU’s programming make the organization an easy target.

what is student association?

Student Assocation is Syracuse University’s student governing body. Its mission is to “create a university community where the needs of students are met, the rights of students are represented and the voice of the students is heard.”

It is also unclear why these funds are being seized. It’s October. SA is supposed to get its money back at the end of the semester and SU is not even halfway through the semester. Apart from going against policy, SA’s decision also squashes any hope that UU had of putting on another or enhancing an already-scheduled event.

Sure, the smaller organizations could benefit from increased budgeting, so it may seem more egalitarian to redistribute money to more RSOs. But given that Juice Jam and similar events have an undeniably large, university-wide impact — due to UU being a well-established and popular SU group — SA should consider the consequences of altering these budgets.

If nothing else, this decision on behalf of SA should set a precedent for the student organizations whose acts and events fall through — even when, like UU, it’s through no fault of their own.

Cuomo’s HIV/AIDS legislation empowers, educates NY youth

T

hough it’s been about four decades since the U.S.’s major epidemic, addressing HIV/AIDS is still crucial in this day and age. And in light of the misconceptions and stigma attached to AIDS, any program that can offer treatment or education for people living with HIV/ AIDS should be commended.

A prime example of a program that pushes back on the negative attention HIV/AIDS receives is New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s recently passed legislation that gives minors the freedom to get treatment without parental consent. In particular, the bill advances minor access to PrEP, which is a pharmaceutical one-aday HIV/AIDS preventive.

The bill is crucial because it provides sexual health resources and discussions that are more comprehensive than what kids get inside the classroom. Combined with the generally weak sex education in schools across the board, the stigma attached to anything to do with the LGBT community though HIV/AIDS is no longer just a “gay thing” — has

MYELLE LANSAT FEARLESS, FIERCE & FEMINIST

created resistance to conversations about fighting HIV/AIDS. And with youth aged 13-24 making up 26 percent of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S., it’s clear that Cuomo’s willingness to speak up for New York’s young people is much-needed and much appreciated. First introduced this May, Cuomo’s legislation permits health care providers to diagnose and treat illnesses related to HIV/AIDS to all persons under 18.

Previously, minors were allowed to be tested for STDs without consent from parents, but HIV was exempt from that list. And PrEP wasn’t accessible to youth either.

As Cuomo said himself when he announced plans for the bill, New York “has taken a holistic approach to ending the AIDS epidemic” in breaking down the barriers to treatment. This expanded health outreach is a great step toward demanding a more knowledgeable, accepting society — especially when it comes

to LGBT and AIDS-affected youth.

In this vein, McGill University professor Mark Wainberg, who has specialized in microbiology behind HIV/AIDS’s effect on the immune system since 1982, emphasized the importance of sexual resources without waiting for parents’ approval. As our culture becomes more accepting, young men who have sex with men are more willing to be sexually active. So any move toward making these resources more readily available is welcome.

Take increased access to PrEP, for example. Allowing at-risk minors access to the leading prevention drug is the least state governments can do.

“PrEP is a great idea and it has come a long way,” said Wainberg.

“The adolescent population may need far more counseling on staying adherent to PrEP, which may not be the case for older people.”

Ultimately, the ability to receive testing without parental consent is freeing for LGBT youth who may not have come out yet or do not feel comfortable discussing their concerns with their parents.

Still, Wainberg recognized the key

letter to the editor

role that parents can and do play.

“I’m sympathetic to parents’ rights. And the fact that there are probably a majority of parents — and even parents of LGBT children — who will be thoughtful and kind, and could be hurt if they weren’t included,” Wainberg said.

When it comes to this progress in New York state, HIV/AIDS prevention has been in the works for two years now. As outlined on the NY State Department of Health’s website, Cuomo has been working to end the NY state aids epidemic by the year 2020 since 2014. This echoes the campaign #EndAIDS2020,

26

The percentage of youth aged 13 to 24 who are HIV diagnoses, according to a 2016 study from Rice University

which was started by the American Foundation for AIDS Research around the same time.

But what makes Cuomo’s initiative so important is it making all

the difference to HIV-positive and AIDS-positive young people across New York. Especially when all of New York state’s AIDS resources seem to be centralized in New York City, this bill is remarkable because it addresses the issue throughout the rest of the state.

It is one thing to read about HIV/AIDS or watch “Dallas Buyers Club,” but it is another thing entirely to actually be a part of the fight. While we can’t all donate billions, we can volunteer, attend health courses and advocate for legislation like the kind that Cuomo has put in place.

There are many cultural and social revolutions that are happening in our lifetime, but the concept of contributing to a healthy and sex-positive society is an opportunity that shouldn’t go to waste. And on the uphill struggle of AIDS-affected communities, it’s clear that Cuomo is leading the way for New York.

Faculty criticizes Whitman dean firing For many of us who study the history of sexualities, and who teach about the shifting sexual morality plays that shape U.S. culture and politics, the current “scandal” surrounding the ex-Dean of the Whitman School does not lie in his individual actions. The scandal rests in the actions of a university administration trying to avoid brand damage by publicly sacrificing the Dean on the altar of heteronormative sexual ‘morality.’ For readers unfamiliar with several decades of scholarship analyzing heteronormativity—the regulation of sexual practices and identities by a powerful fiction of ‘normal’ relations, modeled on heterosexist, racialized images of sexual morality and transgression—the accusation here is quite straightforward:

by summarily firing a respected and successful Dean (see Daily Orange 8/30/2016) less than 24 hours after he was charged with a misdemeanor for soliciting paid sex work, the university displays happy ignorance of scholarly and ethical questions re: contested histories of criminalized sexual activities and intimate desires.

Would this SU administration applaud, in 1964, the firing of a university employee in Maryland who engaged in the illegal activity of miscegenation, i.e. marrying or having sexual relations across criminalized white-black racial lines? Would this administration cheerfully support the expulsion of a university employee in Michigan in 2002 who broke state laws against sodomy that criminalized forms of gay male sex? Would

This academic year’s budget is “exceptionally” less than in the past, Evans said, which led to a lot of budget cuts and strategic decision-making on how the funds were allocated.

“So we’re really talking about a true and real epidemic,” Marquesano said. “And, that’s what’s so puzzling to me. See in the beginning, I didn’t realize that I really and truly was the only person who founded an organization about co-occurring disorders.”

The Harris Project’s goal is to spread education and awareness on what co-occurring disorders are, but also to advocate lawmakers to merge state mental health and substance abuse agencies and resources, Marquesano said.

“I guess in my mind, I used that word (interim) largely because that is, in many settings, what happens next,” Wheatly said. “That a placeholder, a caretaker, a lame duck gets put in.”

But Wheatly said that as she began talking to Maxwell community members, it was made clear to her that a full-time dean was needed for the well-being of the school, and that one needed to be named quickly.

She also stressed that faculty members recommended Van Slyke to her as a possible candidate, and that she did not prime her discussions with Maxwell faculty “in any way.”

The provost said she heard repeatedly from people within Maxwell that the school needed “forward momentum” on a number of structural tasks, which she said would have been difficult for Van Slyke to tend to if he had an interim tag.

“What I heard from the thought leaders over there was, first of all, really strengthening the relationship with the (College of Arts and Sciences),” she said when asked what those structural tasks consisted of.

Evans said this was not supposed to be seen as a punishment toward UU, but a way to use the situation to help other organizations at the university.

UU’s Public Relations Director Grant Nygaard said the organization was disappointed with the decision not to reallocate the funds but respected the decision of the Finance Board.

Charles Mastoloni, a senior policy studies and political science dual major, wrote a letter to The Daily Orange that criticized SA for “violating their own Financial Code.”

Evans said the letter was a “huge misstatement” from Mastoloni.

In the letter, Mastoloni wrote SA was in violation of the carryover policy that is implemented by SA.

quesano said treatment for co-occurring disorders would improve dramatically.

In an interview following the event, Marquesano said she thinks there is an opportunity for a merge of the NYS OMH and OASAS, after discussions between her organization and OASAS. Marquesano added that The Harris Project focuses on raising education and awareness on the disorder classification with high school and college students.

Attendees of the presentation were visibly emotional, some crying after reading poems written by Harris that were displayed in PowerPoint slides.

kind of a person.”

Van Slyke, who was phoned into The Daily Orange’s interview with Wheatly, added that it would be difficult as an interim dean to get as many things done for the school.

“For example, if an interim dean is meeting with the donors, donors will be respectful and meet with the interim dean, but those donors are then waiting for the next dean before they make any decisions about how they want to further support the Maxwell School and Syracuse University,” he said.

Additionally, Wheatly said because former Maxwell Dean James Steinberg was scheduled to step down from his position at the end of June, SU needed to move quickly in naming the next dean.Wheatly appointed Van Slyke to the position on June 10.

That, Wheatly added, made it impossible to consult the majority of the Maxwell faculty prior to the appointment. Among the faculty she did speak with, Wheatly said she heard a range of names as possible candidates, but that Van Slyke’s name came up several times without her priming the conversation.

“I had only been here two weeks, so I didn’t know anybody,” said Wheatly, who assumed her role as vice chancellor and provost on May 16. “I would never have just thrown names out there.”

As Wheatly spoke with faculty, it became apparent to her, she said, that Van Slyke was the right person to appoint.

“We have a lot of confidence in David moving forward,” Wheatly said. “I stand behind the decision 100 percent.” mdburk01@syr.edu | @michaelburke47

Evans said the carryover policy is not applicable in this situation, as the funds UU had requested were allocated for Juice Jam would be used “toward our concerts planned for this school year,” according to a letter published to the students on Sept. 27.

Carryover policy cannot be carried over from an event to a different event, Evans said.

Evans has made SA President Eric Evangelista and Vice President Joyce LaLonde aware of the conversations between SA and UU, and said they have been “very supportive.”

Evans added that there will be a published letter regarding the decision in the coming days. wgmuoio@syr.edu

in broadcast and digital journalism, following the event. “Now that I know the name, I can actually connect (co-occurring disorders) to people in my family, some friends that I have.

Now I actually want to get involved.”

Marquesano encouraged students that attended the presentation to continue raising awareness about the disorder classification at SU. Many students signed up to receive more information on The Harris Project following the event, also taking free organization pins and rubber bracelets distributed by Marquesano.

“I think SU and colleges across the country need to be talking more about mental health in general,” said Kristelle Aisaka, SU’s new health promotion specialist at the Office of Health Promotion. “People like Stephanie are doing really great work, and there are a lot of people on campus that are doing a lot of really great work, and I think to bring all of these voices together is really impactful and effective.” sfogozal@syr.edu

Researcher receives National Parks Service grant to maintain cemetery

By Caroline Bartholomew staff writer

S

UNY-ESF’s Center for Cultural Landscape Preservation recently received grants for the preservation of national parks in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

The grants come from the United States National Parks Service to assess and develop plans for the preservation of the Fredericksburg National Cemetery and the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park.

Since 1992, the Center for Cultural Landscape Preservation has partnered with the Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation, a branch of the National Parks Service, to help manage historic landscapes in the northeast, according to the center’s website. The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry was one of the Olmsted Center’s first partners. Since 2000, they sponsored a staff research position at SUNY-ESF. The new grants for Fredericksburg are part of this cooperative agreement.

“Cultural landscape reports are essentially developing management documents for historic landscapes,” said John Auwaerter, co-director of the Center for Cultural Landscape Preservation.

Auwaeter said the reports provide documentation on how the landscape has changed over time, what’s important about the landscape, what’s worthy of preservation and any design and planning issues in the landscape.

“In other words, what could be restored, rehabilitated — basically outlining a plan for how the landscape should be managed in the future,”Auwaerter said.

Their work at Fredericksburg will

involve looking at how the vegetation has changed over time and how to fix the loss of some historic character including paths and views that have been blocked by overgrown vegetation, Auwaerter said.

Fredericksburg will be the third cultural landscape report the center has worked on for a national cemetery. The center completed one for Poplar Grove National Cemetery in Petersburg, Virginia seven years ago and another for Gettysburg National Cemetery in Pennsylvania, according to the center’s website. Additionally, the center also completed a cultural landscape report for Oakwood Cemetery in Syracuse.

The center also recently received a grant to create the first cultural landscape report for the Harriet Tubman National Historical Park in Auburn, New York, which they started over the summer, according to the grant document.

“We’re trying to re-establish some of the rural character of the site from the time when Harriet Tubman lived there,” Auwaerter said. “A lot of the fields have just grown up into woods and it’s hard to get the sense of it as a farm as it was historically, and there are other things like trying to decide where a new visitor’s center should be built.”

President Barack Obama signed the bill to make Tubman’s home a national historical park in December 2014, according to Syracuse.com.

Some of the center’s other ongoing projects include developing reports for Gettysburg National Military Park and National Cemetery and Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Marin County, California. cbarthol@syr.edu

mental health formed a relationship with SU’s new health promotion specialist, Kristelle Aisaka.

LaLonde also spoke with Active Minds, a group that opens up the dialogue for mental health on campuses throughout the United States.

Kylie Kerker, an SU junior and president of Active Minds Syracuse, said when she was in high school, one of her best friends was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

“No one should ever feel ashamed about their mental health and everyone should feel supported in seeking and asking for help when they need it,” Kerker said.

Kerker and LaLonde have worked together to finalize a plan for Mental Health Awareness Week. They will have group workshops and opportunities for students to speak about how they are feeling, LaLonde said.

“College students go through stressful times,” LaLonde said. “Everyone has experienced this kind of stress. They all can relate to mental health.”

She said the combination of pressure to drink and to do well in school is something that students always go through.

LaLonde said the new program will introduce the appropriate way for people to talk about mental health, a conversation she said

“It’s a way to spread awareness in a different kind of way,” Oganesyan said. “I know personally I would be super curious to see a different stamp than the regular Chuck’s

is “heavily stigmatized.”

There needs to be more opportunities for people to speak up and about mental health, Kerker said. She said she hopes to start that conversation and to educate not only the students but also the faculty and staff about how to address mental health.

“I hope that it sparks more conversations more broadly about how we talk about mental wellness and how that that might impact the people in our lives — friends, colleagues, teammates, peers and ultimately ourselves,” Aisaka said.

Kerker said SU does a good job of involving mental health on campus and the university has good resources, but she added that there aren’t enough to properly serve the size of the campus.

“Increasing the amount of resources available to students, I think, could go a long way, whether that was more staff at the Counseling Center or increasing the amount of resources and money available to the Office of Health Promotions who are doing a lot of work regarding mental health education,” she said.

Kerker said she hopes her work through Active Minds and their involvement with Mental Health Awareness Week will have an impact that will make this an annual event on campus. wgmuoio@syr.edu

eneral Davis was serving a sentence in Wyoming Correction Facility outside of Buffalo, New York when he got a visit from his mother.

He was a gang leader in Syracuse during the ‘70s and ‘80s, but still maintained a loving relationship with his mother. She never gave up on him.

The look of pain and disappointment on her face when she visited is what inspired him to change his life for good.

To Davis, this parental support is the main way to get kids off the streets. He started his nonprofit, Real Fathers, Real Men, seven years ago to hold workshops to encourage kids to stay in school or to get jobs, rather than getting themselves involved with gangs.

Davis has also written two books about gangs and children committing crimes, and a third book about police-on-children crime and children-on-children crime. This most recent book is projected to be published in November.

“We ask (the kids) questions at workshop: ‘How many of you here don’t

have fathers that live at home?’ And almost all of the hands go up,” Davis said. “I believe that’s why we have the problems we have in the neighborhoods, because there’s no father in the house.”

Real Fathers, Real Men focuses on at-risk children — predominantly males — who are raised in single-parent homes and need supervision or male role models. Davis often promotes his work through lectures and workshops in middle and high schools, but also works with the kids in the classrooms to get them to focus.

“No story is ever the same,” Davis said. He’s heard stories such as: “‘My mom turned her back on me,’ ‘My father abused me,’ ‘I watch my father abuse my mother,’ ‘My brother abused me.’ You name it. ‘I watched my sister get raped,’ ‘My mother sold my sister for drugs.’”

Demetry Spears had a history of getting suspended from Danforth Middle School in Syracuse until Davis helped him turn his grades and attitude around.

“I was running the halls, not listening to the teacher, not doing my work,” Spears said. “He was taking us to hockey games and movies if we see gener al davis page 12

Activists ‘trump hate’ at Westcott

By Maxine Williams staff writer

The Westcott community in Syracuse has always been known as a place for progressive thinkers to congregate and make a difference.

In the past, this activism has happened in the form of protests, peaceful demonstrations, and other supportive community events that rally Syracuse residents into joining a meaningful movement. On Oct. 1, that activism turned into the “Westcott Trumps Hate” Unity Festival, which dozens attended.

Sponsored and planned by Ben Tupper, a local landlord, the event

was designed to promote and support inclusive, liberal thinking, in light of the upcoming presidential election.

“The neighborhood has historically been a place that’s been extremely tolerant and open to discussing and enacting change and putting your politics into action,” Tupper said.

With its own rich history, Westcott Theater was the perfect venue for an event like “Westcott Trumps Hate.”

Access to a “progressive neighborhood and the ending to a heated political season” was all it took for Tupper to be inspired to create the “Westcott Trumps Hate” event.

Tupper happily funded the whole event, with the hopes of showcasing musicians from the community,

while raising funds to support different service organizations.

All the money made from tickets sold will go to different community service organizations.

There were four organizations at the event tabling to sell their merchandise and advertise about how they service the Syracuse community: The Girl Code Movement, The Eastern Farm Workers Association, ArtRage and the Westcott Community Center.

The event kicked off with a performance by Second Line Syracuse, an eight-member New Orleans inspired brass band. The band entered the doors of Westcott see westcott page 10

The different instruments worked well together to create an excitement in the room for what would follow during the rest of the performances.

After Second Line Syracuse’s set, Joe Driscoll, a local musician who helped plan the event, took the stage to welcome everyone.

“We’re here tonight to support a better world and draw awareness to the problems within and around our community, by getting all the progressive groups under one roof,” he said.

Driscoll also introduced the organiza-

tions in attendance and encouraged attendants to visit each of their tables. There was also a table setup for voter registration in preparation for next month’s election.

After these introductions, Driscoll took the stage. Known for his creative take on music through beatbox-looping funk, folk and hip-hop, there were several attendants who came out to hear his performance.

When Driscoll started his set, his performance demanded the attention of everyone in the room. Looping his vocals, beats, guitar riffs and harmonica notes in real time seemed like nothing anyone had ever seen before.

Throughout the event all types of people cycled in and out, from students and music enthusiasts to older adults and social activists. mswillia@syr.edu

‘Saturday Night Live’ finds its footing, returns for new season

T

he show “Saturday Night Live”’s 42nd season premiered Saturday with Margot Robbie hosting for the first time and The Weeknd appearing as the opening musical guest for a second consecutive year.

Election season is normally SNL’s main territory, but after a summer off and other late night shows devoting more time to election coverage, it was hard to see a need for more satire during a cycle devoid of seriousness.

However, SNL proved that there are still jokes to be made about Hillary and Donald.

This core cast has worked together for three to four full seasons. Despite dropping ratings as they tried to get out of the shadow of the supergroup that left before them, the cast really found its form last year.

The season opened with a shot of Michael Che as Lester Holt moderating a debate between McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton and Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump. Baldwin has been brought in to play Trump this season to let announcer/utility player Darryl Hammond stick to his genius Bill Clinton impersonation.

As always, “SNL”’s best political satire comes in mockery of the debates. They captured the crazy back and forth of last week’s event perfectly, ripping Trump’s interruptions and

KYLE STEVENS JUST LIKE, MY OPINION MAN

repeatedly implying Hillary is a robot whose life’s mission is to win the presidency.

From there, host Margot Robbie gave a factchecked monologue, which was far above par considering the host’s introduction is almost always the weakest point of the show.

The first two sketches both had the same “Margot is just way too hot” vibe, but they both lit up the hot crowd and exemplified tight and well-written sketch comedy.

One of the most obvious improvements over the last two years has been Weekend Update.

Colin Jost and Michael Che might have taken a season or two to find their voices behind the famous desk, but the segment is now clearly theirs and they look comfortable playing with the format. Che seems to love quick metaphorical monologues and Jost has found the right amount of white boy to project in a funny way.

The rest of the night followed suit. Usually there’s a dud sketch buried somewhere after midnight, but it became clear once 1 a.m. hit that this group of Not Ready for Primetime Players might just be hitting their prime, and at a perfect time to do so.

Of course, the big news this summer was the cold goodbyes to beloved cast members Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah.

SNL is a show that often needs changes to kickstart a new vibe or allow people to elevate themselves. While Killam was the ultimate team player, he was never going to be a star in the way that Bill Hader or Will Forte, people with similar roles during their time on the show, were destined for.

Pharoah was the perfect impressionist who just never had a starring role in a sketch. His standup is hilarious and every Weekend Update appearance he made became a YouTube hit, but like Killam, it became necessary to see if somebody else could step up in his role. Jon Rudnitsky, the lone addition to last year’s cast, was also let go after not making a huge splash.

The three additions this year, Mikey Day, Alex Moffat and Melissa Villaseñor, all appeared multiple times in the first episode of this season, yet another promising sign for the season these last three years have been building toward.

Sweet paradise

SU alumnus’ chocolate shop celebrates 5th anniversary of creating tasty treats

By Angelica Welch staff writer

S

yracuse University alumnus Michael Woloszyn didn’t think sitting behind a desk for the rest of his life was a realistic option for him. After graduating from the Whitman School of Management with a marketing degree in 2010, Woloszyn worked in his intended field for a while before realizing that his fascination with chocolate was more than just the interesting topic he chose to write his thesis on.

As a central New York native, Woloszyn saw the lack of small, quality artisans in the market of fine goods such as chocolate in Syracuse. His dissatisfaction with his career and desire to create drove Woloszyn and his wife to start their own chocolate shop, Lune Chocolat, just a few miles away from his alma mater.

Located in Manlius, Lune Chocolat sits within a quiet suburban setting. A short and picturesque drive from campus, this chocolate shop charms adults and kids alike.

The little blue house is warm and welcoming with its big “Open” flag waving in the fall breeze. Inside, the cozy, homey feel would make anyone crave a piece of chocolate or fresh cookie. Its wide range of handmade chocolates such as the Chai Buddha and the Cabernet Barrel, as well as homemade cookies, candies and ice cream, make Lune Chocolat a sweet paradise.

Woloszyn expertly pairs professional confectionary skills with non-traditional ingredients. Those who love chocolate and illustration by kelly o’neill contributing illustrator

are willing to try risky flavors should look no further. Some of the more intriguing creations are the edamame bar, the Abbey Hotlips — 60 percent dark chocolate with a rum and organic habanero pepper ganache center — the pineapple and jalapeno popsicle and the chamomile cookie sandwich, which has a grapefruit geranium ice cream center. There are also a variety of vegan options, including a mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwich.

For their 5th anniversary celebration this year, Lune pulled out all the stops.

Local vendors such as Simple Roast Coffee and Savvy Wine Cellar were there to both promote their products and provide pairing options.

Everything goes with chocolate, Woloszyn said, so there is no reason you shouldn’t pop a piece with your afternoon coffee or pick through a box during your evening glass — or bottle — of wine.

As autumn rears its head, Lune’s selection begins to reflect the fall offerings of central New York.

Woloszyn takes advantage of the plethora of apple orchards in the area by crafting handpicked apples into his confections, including an apple ganache filled chocolate that hits the balance between tangy and sweet perfectly. More non-traditional seasonal items like squash are also making the ingredients list this fall, as well as all of

the warm flavors that grace the menu year round such as chai, toffee and vanilla.

Lune Chocolat prides itself on being an all-natural artisan shop, selling products that support the local community. In addition to using preservative-free cream, the Woloszyns buy most of their fruit, peppers and honey from local farms and frequent the neighborhood farmers market. Even their chocolate — although not local — is from a small family farm in South America that does not use any pesticides or chemical fertilizers in growing their cacao.

They also provide services for weddings, showers, birthdays and corporate events. Upon request, they can create custom designs and flavor combinations to suit personal tastes. Online ordering and worldwide shipping is available if you are looking to send a loved one something sweet from central New York — or treat yourself with a chocolate of the month membership.

Woloszyn’s emphasis on locality and desire to serve only the highest quality treats makes this spot worth the trip out to the suburbs. Take a little drive this weekend and come in for a Caramel Pyramid or a Vanilla Latte Cup. anwelch@syr.edu

Shaffer gallery exhibit honors popular children’s author

By Jennifer Bourque contributing writer

Shaffer Art Building’s Wiezel Gallery has taken a trip back in time with an exhibit showcasing illustrations from a popular children’s book.

Running through Oct. 23, the exhibit pays homage to the late Maurice Sendak, best known for his beloved children’s book, “Where the Wild Things Are,” published 50 years ago.

The exhibit has been traveling around the country, reaching over 40 venues.

general davis did good in school. Get good report cards, he’d take us out to eat or something.”

Now, Spears said he wants to be a doctor when he grows up.

Davis knows the issue is not strictly between parents and children. He said sometimes the teachers don’t know how to work with inner-city students and will be quicker to punish them, especially if they are black. Davis added that the teachers need proper training to know how to give students what they need.

“Until we get that kind of training implemented in the school systems and the police station, we’re going to keep seeing these problems,” he said. “We have to be a collective force.”

Davis recognizes the same issue among the police force and said these disparities can play a part in children getting themselves into trouble.

Davis works on finding the proper resources that each student individually needs in order to better their focus and determination. He said his nonprofit is no

The collection came to Syracuse University through Emily Dittman, collection and exhibition manager at Syracuse University Art Galleries. Dittman was responsible for contacting the curators and making the presentation of this exhibit possible at SU. The works were chosen “to present as wide a scope of Sendak’s work as was possible for a small retrospective dedicated to a celebration of 50 years,” said Steve Brezzo, the curator of the exhibit.

Upon entering the gallery, visitors are met with nostalgic feelings of bliss and wonder in

the presence of Sendak’s work. Most will leave with a smile on their face as they view the illustrations that captivated their young minds.

The heartwarming feeling that came along with the exhibit was not a result of the artwork alone. Amongst the illustrations, there is a display of a long list of quotes by various high-profile figures — including Spike Jonze, Meredith Vieira, Judy Blume, and Neil Gaiman, to name a few. Each figure reflects on Sendak’s influence on them personally, and the world at large.

These quotes were solicited from those

people who had commented either when Sendak was alive or in the media when he died, Brezzo said.

“We selected from those that were the most cogent, touching and ultimately, supported the works we had available,” Brezzo said.

The quotes reflect on Sendak’s role as an author and illustrator.

In the words of author Neil Gaiman, “Sendak did not make books for children. He just made books. His linework was elegant, sometimes even cute, but always honest.” jabourqu@syr.edu

better or worse than any other drug or gang preventative program.

“I think any program that’s trying to help kids get off the streets is good,” he said. “Whatever you’re doing to help the kid is good. I don’t have what (resources) you have, you don’t have what I have, let’s just put them all together like a big puzzle. Everybody’s got a piece to play, then you got the big picture, you can see everything nice and clear.”

Clifford Ryans, founder of OG’s Against Violence, performs the same kind of services as General Davis does. Ryans walks the streets of Syracuse every day, keeping an eye on kids. Ryans and Davis sometimes work together in lectures or workshops.

“When you’re dealing with what we’re dealing with, there’s a lot of stress and everything else that comes with that stress,” Ryans said. “You have to be built for that.

You have to be … strong mentally as well as physically and it takes a lot.”

Ryans said that there are some people within the community that don’t believe in Davis’s hard work, which can set the improvement back because people will be hesitant to support or fund his project.

“They don’t think he’s serious or that they feel like maybe his time is done,” Ryans said.

“But I feel like he’s one of the major guys, one of the major players in the city who people need to give that opportunity to try to do better.”

Davis can be found at Danforth Middle School every Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., keeping the students in check and preventing violence among them. He’ll go to basketball and hockey games, or to the movies with a handful of children, just to keep them off the streets and give them something fun to do.

Davis pays out of pocket just to make sure the kids have eaten after school. More often than not, they haven’t.

Davis’ sponsors help pay for the activities for the students. His work has changed a lot of students for the better, but Davis has identified some areas that could improve.

He said he and his team are not so good with paperwork or keeping track of the children after several years. But he has seen some kids who have since graduated college and were elated to tell him that his workshops and programs worked.

The biggest challenge for Real Fathers,

Real Men is to not only have children understand the information ex-gang leaders give them, but to get their parents on the same page as Davis in order to drive the message home. When the children grow up in an environment of hate and crime, it’s all they know, Davis said.

“The work is trying to squeeze and purge that disease out of them, by just showing them love,” Davis said. “That’s the bottom line, all they need is love. Someone to be there for them, care for them, support them, give them that love that the father wasn’t there to give them, or the mother doesn’t know how to give because she wasn’t loved, so on and so forth.”

Although Davis’s mother died three years ago, his love for her is still as strong as ever.

He said his mother’s love and support made it so easy for him to turn his life around. Even though she is gone, he is still supporting the children who need that support themselves.

“I’ll die doing this work, because it’s the only way I can see myself giving back to the things I took away, or bad impressions that I’ve made,” Davis said. tathomps@syr.edu

His throws weren’t the sharpest again, but Dungey delivered in the red zone. SU abandoned the run game, putting the whole offense on Dungey’s shoulders, and he led it to 33 points. The offense did struggle after the opening two touchdowns again, but Dungey even slid twice on runs, which is an improvement for him.

Each unsurprisingly have national brands, which is the only excuse to say the stadium was three-quarters full. SU, as a program, was only truly prepared to play USC at the time schedules were set. The Orange faced a weaker PSU team because of NCA A sanctions the season before the matchup. Maybe the series has given back what’s deserved. SU has served up games befitting of a contest that’s been misbranded.

After four years of Doug Marrone’s tenure, when the football program appeared to be turning around, the game may have been appropriate. SU was good enough to play USC, then the No. 2 team in the country. With Marrone leaving, the games outpaced how good Syracuse could be under Scott Shafer.

At least 70 percent of the crowd was pro-Notre Dame. In 2012, the MetLife game drew 39,507 people, 61,202 attended in 2013 and 76,802 attended in 2014.

from Syracuse’s 43 that went out of bounds after only 13 yards. He seems to have mishit several punts this season, but he’s tied for being the 10th-most used punter in the country, averaging 6.4 per game. His yards per punt average is 48th in the nation.

Hofrichter also mishandled a PAT snap as the holder, costing SU a point.

Cordell Hudson, redshirt sophomore cornerback Cordell Hudson did prevent himself from being hurdled again and made a few nice stops, but he was also apart of three of Notre Dame’s four offensive touchdowns that went for more than 50 yards.

On the very first play of the game, Hudson squared up Equanimeous St. Brown run-

ning laterally across the field toward him at about the Notre Dame 45. St. Brown cut up the field and Hudson just fell to the ground after only getting a hand on him.

On Notre Dame’s next offensive possession, Hudson covered St. Brown one-on-one.

Hudson slowed up while St. Brown accelerated as the ball was thrown and St. Brown caught it a step ahead of Hudson, who faceplanted into the ground again as St. Brown went in for a score.

Hudson was the man with backside contain on Dexter Williams’ 59-yard cutback touchdown run, but Hudson again was caught off guard with a cut up field and missed the tackle, only grazing Williams with his left hand. jrmettus@syr.edu | @jmettus

been playing all along. SU will also play Louisiana State, another game against a big team for the Orange, the type of game SU doesn’t need. By no means is any game automatic, but getting a team on its slate that could get SU to a bowl game could have been more useful.

Another win may have pushed SU to seven regular season wins in 2013 and could’ve earned SU a better bowl game than the Texas Bowl. Another win in 2014 could’ve helped SU blunt its loss to Maryland and get on track. With a team this season that’s on the fringe of a bowl game, another win could be

key to SU making the postseason.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda is gone now. SU played out its first contract with MetLife.

And despite MetLife and SU saying it’d sign a contract to play 10 games over 20 seasons from 2019 to 2038, the two sides never did.

As the workers cleared up those physical remnants, they scrubbed away only some of the series’ effects.

The rest is left to Babers and Wildhack.

Syracuse has not fared well at MetLife Stadium in the four games it has played at the East Rutherford, New Jersey venue. In a major market, MetLife has hosted four Orange losses to some of the country’s top programs, including Southern California, Penn State and Notre Dame.

AFTERLIFE

The series at MetLife Stadium met its necessary end

E

AST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — After Syracuse and Notre Dame left MetLife Stadium on Saturday, the grounds crew took over the stadium. Workers took down banners for the SU-UND game and put up New York Jets banners on the walls around the field. They peeled back the turf with “Syracuse” and “Orange” on it in the end zones, replacing it with “Jets” in both.

A MetLife light turned from orange to blue to off.

It took only three hours to wipe away most of the physical residue from Syracuse’s series in East Rutherford.

On Saturday, the MetLife series met its

death. Syracuse (2-3, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) dropped its game against Notre Dame (2-3), 50-33, marking its fourth loss in the series by a combined 52 points — 13 points per game. Even as the game reached its start, few fans filled the stadium. The drizzling of fans who entered in the 11 minutes between the national anthem and kickoff were decidedly dressed in more green than orange.

SU’s fourth loss in the series heaps another blow to the unsuccessful series.

The series, started under former Director of Athletics Daryl Gross, has been long bemoaned by fans and those who follow Syracuse football.

At a time when Syracuse needed its program to recover, the series has helped rebury the program.

Director of Athletics John Wildhack and head coach Dino Babers have a chance to right the program minus a money grab (Syracuse made as much as $5 million per game and $3 million against Penn State, per Syracuse.com) holding SU back.

Stock watch: A look back at the Orange’s loss to the Irish

By Jon Mettus asst. sports editor

The opening five minutes of Syracuse against Notre Dame saw 36 points scored, a blocked extra point returned for two points and a kickoff return for a touchdown. By halftime, Syracuse was within six points. Take away the blocked PAT and give the Orange the field goal missed at the buzzer and it would have been tied. But the Fighting

Irish opened the half with 17 unanswered points and stomped on SU, 50-33, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Here’s a look at where some players and units stood out.

STOCK UP Brisly Estime, senior wide receiver Brisly Estime was electric in the punt return game, catching three kicks and taking them a total of

128 yards. His best return of the day came with less than a minute left in the first half. Several Notre Dame players were within a few yards of Estime as he caught the ball at his own 12, but they stopped, apparently thinking he called for a fair catch. So Estime bolted forward, shed about three tackles, and was finally brought down at Notre Dame’s 14. The Orange scored a touchdown right before the half as a result of his return.

After the first week of the season, head coach Dino Babers took Estime off punt returns to save his energy for offense. But his replacement, freshman receiver Sean Riley, looked a bit shaky.

Estime took the last punt in the fourth quarter against UConn last week and started taking punts in the second quarter this week.

He already has the seventh-most yards in FBS despite being tied for 48th in number of punt returns,

with seven. His 21.9 yards per return in second best.

Zaire Franklin, junior linebacker Syracuse’s defense did not look good against Notre Dame, but one player that shined in moments was Zaire Franklin. The middle linebacker came up with three of the defense’s biggest plays on the day. Franklin finished with nine see stock
