Dean adds leadership positions

By Natsumi Ajisaka ASST. NEWS EDITOR

Ken Kavajecz, dean of the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, has appointed three people to upper leadership positions in Whitman.

Two of the new appointments already have initiatives in mind, with one hoping to encourage undergraduate certification and extracurricular engagement, and the other envisioning changes to the Ph.D. program.

Kavajecz, who started his position as dean of Whitman in July, said he was able to interact with the faculty while traveling between the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he was employed before becoming dean, and Syracuse University.

Kavajecz said he got to know how individual faculty members like to spend their time and what they were passionate about during that time.

“You need to find people that can connect with others, that understand their audience, that have a strategic vision and are going to deliver enough energy to keep the program moving when it’s hard,” he said.

The people Kavajecz appointed to leadership positions are: Kevin Bailey, previously Whitman’s director of information technology, Michel Benaroch, associate dean of research and Amanda Nicholson, a professor of retail practice.

Nicholson’s new role will be associate dean of undergraduate programs — which she said came as a surprise to her.

Nicholson said she has been working with Clint Tankersley, the previous associate dean, to learn more about the position’s full responsibilities.

These responsibilities draw on a need to have a “close relationship” with undergraduate students to understand their needs and find what direction the school needs to go in to make them the “most successful

magine listening to a radio with no commericals or disc jockeys — only combact disc-quality sound.

Digital Cable Radio offers just that, and it is now available through Aldelphia Cable for $9.95 per month.

DCR provides 19 channels of continuous, digitally transmitted music, said Kevin West, sales supervisor at Aldelphia Cable in Syracuse.

These channels are transmitted directly to a cable subscriber’s stereo system, he said.

Each channel has its own format, said Kelly Smith, public relations representative for DCR. The formats range from dance and rock to new age and big band, Smith said.

Each channel has its own programmer, who is an expert in the music of that particular channel, Smith said.

DCR also offers informational channels such as Sports and C-Span International.

“It basically travels through a system of wires,” said Roosevelt Wright, a television, radio and film professor at The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

Unlike radio signals, which are sent through the atmosphere, DCR is not exposed to disturbances in the air, Wright said.

The perfect sound

Since there is no interference in DCR, the sound quality is “perfect,” West said.

Only cable subscribers can receive DCR since the cable wire is spliced and hooked into a stereo, he said.

It is solely a cable network, he said.

“DCR makes your stereo a direct link-up to cable,” West said.

Candlelight vigil honors lives lost in Pan Am 103

By Jesse Nichols CONTRIBUTING WRITER

From Hendricks Chapel, a large crowd of students walked toward the Place of Remembrance, holding small white candles.

They struggled to keep the flames lit, shielding them against the wind.

A few minutes earlier, they were gathered in a semicircle in front of the chapel steps for a vigil honoring the 35 SU students who died on Pan Am

Flight 103 almost 25 years ago. Terrorists set off a bomb aboard the plane over Lockerbie, Scotland. The students were coming home after studying abroad in London and Florence.

Each year, 35 seniors honor the memory and legacy of the students who died. Sunday marked the beginning of the annual Remembrance Week.

Erin Carhart, a Remembrance Scholar and senior policy studies major, gave the opening remarks,

thanking the crowd and making room for Pat Burak, the first speaker.

Burak, an assistant professor of Russian literature, has a personal connection to the Pan Am bombing as Jason Coker, one of the victims, was a student of hers.

“My mission is to keep the spirit of Jason alive,” Burak said in her opening speech, which centered on her former student.

She read an old postcard Coker had

written to her while he was visiting Russia in 1988.

In it, he told her his stay had been “fantastic,” but he wouldn’t share details about his trip until he returned to campus.

“I’m still waiting for that conversation,” Burak said, turning her head up to the sky as the crowd settled into a somber silence.

She asked those in attendance to

said Esther Gray, the lecture series’ coordinator. This year’s series starts on Tuesday night in Hendricks Chapel. Syracuse University is inviting eight speakers to campus.

The eight speakers include civic entrepreneur Eric Liu, poet Billy Collins, actress Anna Deavere Smith, historian Diane Ravitch, cartoonist Roz Chast, MSNBC host Chris Hayes, playwright Tony Kushner and former Sen. George Mitchell.

Playwright Tony Kushner, who wrote the Academy Award-nominated film “Lincoln,” will be the first speak-

er of the series on Tuesday.

Gray said that the organizers carefully choose their roster of speakers, though there is no theme to the series or even a straightforward process to choosing the speakers.

“It is very important to us to maintain a series each year that is different, with speakers who speak to different topics, disciplines and ideas,” she said.

“We don’t try to be controversial but will not avoid someone who presents a different viewpoint.”

When the University Lectures series started in 2001, former sena-

tor George Mitchell was the series’ first speaker.

Arriving three weeks after Sept. 11, he addressed the terrorist attacks in the series’ inaugural lecture, Gray said.

Mitchell will be coming to campus on Nov. 12 to speak in remembrance of the 25th anniversary of Pan Am 103, a plane bombing in 1988 that killed 35 students, she added.

“Sen. Mitchell is an amazing man and arguably one of the most respected public servants known,”

Hyper-political correctness should not override interests of American culture

W

ashington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder should not give in to outside political pressure coming from the cultural Left regarding the team’s nickname.

This reflects the hyper-political correctness that has detrimentally taken hold of much of American society today.

In an interview with the Associated Press on Saturday, President Obama said that if he was the owner of the Redskins, he’d “think about changing” the team name.

Given that Obama operates in Washington D.C. and the Redskins have a very large and loyal fan base that feels a connection to the name, this is a controversial statement to make.

Not only is the name of the Redskins absolutely none of Obama’s business, but it also shouldn’t be a priority at a time when significant parts of the federal government have been shut down.

The Redskins’ name is a cultural representation of something that existed in American history, and was never meant to offend anyone. Banal as the representation may be, the intention is to honor the nature of Native American culture.

Native Americans understandably may not particularly like this form of cultural stereotyping, however colleges and sports franchises

ETHAN DEMERS

monkey see, monkey do have a right to autonomy. The Washington Redskins are the property of Daniel Snyder, and he shouldn’t be compelled to change the name because interest groups and politicians urge him to do so.

There is legitimate heroism and romanticism evoked by classic Native American images, and this naturally goes with sports. Ethnic stereotyping may seem demeaning to some, but that doesn’t make it intrinsically racist either.

A poll conducted in 2002 by Sports Illustrated found that 81 percent of Native Americans who live outside traditional Indian reservations and 53 percent of Indians on reservations did not find the images discriminatory.

Liberal political activists have been quite successful in recent years at coercing various colleges and professional sports franchises to discontinue using any nicknames

and mascots related to Native American culture. Look no further than here at Syracuse University.

Until 1978, the official SU mascot was the Saltine Warrior — a depiction of an Onondogan Chief. Student pressure to change the name resulted in Otto the Orange. More recently, feminist pressure caused SU to change from the Orangemen to the Orange.

It’s blatantly obvious that the former sounded a lot better than the latter.

The cultural left has ultimately pushed issues related to political correctness to absurd levels in recent years.

When taken to an extreme degree, political correctness has the potential to undermine and delegitimize our entire political, social and cultural discourse. When journalists become more concerned about not offending any particular interest group than in truth-telling, our news media becomes less trustworthy to the American people.

The truth is that Native American mascots by-in-large depict bravery and courage — two traits that are anything but derogatory.

If Snyder caves in to the political pressure from the left, it seems likely that less inherently disrespectful names such as the Indians, Braves and Blackhawks would be forced to take

a similar course.

The Redskins organization should become more active in attempting to garner the support of the Native American community. Florida State University was very successful in this. The Seminole tribe of Florida sanctioned the university to use the Seminole name.

Cooperation on these complex issues is within the realm of possibility.

The Redskins should explore solutions such as offering various employment opportunities and inexpensive tickets to Native Americans interested in football as a display of respect for the culture.

Native American mascots and team names will never be politically correct in the eyes of many cultural liberals. But they can be used in a respectful manner, and colleges and professional sports franchises have every right to self-determine their respective proper courses of action regarding these issues.

In the end, political correctness should not override the interests of our culture, specifically our sports franchises.

University administration should garner support to help pass NY DREAM Act Everyone has a right to an education.

For this reason, the New York State Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act should become a law. To help this effort, university administration should put pressure on local senators to move the bill through the Senate and into law.

The NY DREAM Act is proposed legislation that would extend state financial support for higher education to undocumented students by allowing them access to aid and scholarships. If enacted, New York would become the fourth state to offer undocumented college students financial assistance.

Unfortunately, support for the bill is lacking in the Senate. SU students have started to push senators to support the bill, but the proposal remains stagnant.

University officials should take it upon themselves to bolster sup-

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board port for the DREAM Act. This could promote the progress that is necessary for this proposal to become a law.

Passing the NY DREAM Act would provide the financial assistance that could motivate undocumented students to attend college.

Current in-state tuition rates are too high for undocumented students to attend a four-year institution. This limits their ability to achieve the higher education they might want.

Higher education is crucial to the future of this country. The NY DREAM Act would provide undocumented students with an affordable education. This will only support the economy, as an educated demographic of

undocumented students will be able to contribute to the country’s workforce post graduation.

The one individual who could be inf luential on the matter is SU’s chancellor. Although Chancellor Nancy Cantor’s tenure is ending soon, Chancellor-designate Kent Syverud should take a clear stance on the NY DREAM Act. Students should do their part and continue to garner support from politicians, but the voice of a university official would provide an authoritative perspective to propel the act to pass.

An official who leads a university that emphasizes diversity is the best way to attract attention toward the NY DREAM Act and its future.

And to achieve that future, there is no better place to start than at a university like SU.

Extensive number of furloughed EPA workers proves need to rethink ‘essentials’

A

s the government shutdown continues, 800,000 government workers have been furloughed — or sent home without pay. But at the current standpoint of government shutdown, the department with the penultimate percentage of furloughed workers is the Environmental Protection Agency.

Over 15,000 of those furloughed work for the EPA, according to The New York Times. This is a small number compared to some departments and agencies, but a number that includes a shocking 94 percent of the EPA. Though this solution saves money at a time when a budget has not been decided on, this also means vital jobs are not getting done.

Within the federal government workings, there must be a reassessment of valuing “essential” and “non-essential” workers in a more unbiased, objective stance.

While it is not an easy task to determine what barebones are necessary to get the country through these tough times, environmental health and safety is not a fleeting desire or privilege. It is a right belonging to all Americans that cannot be protected sufficiently when the department is near complete closure.

The EPA already has one of the smallest staffs for an executive department, only falling behind staff size for the Department of Energy.

Government furloughs mean that everyday workers’ lives get put on hold, all because higher-ups in the government do not view their jobs as “essential.”

While workers are likely to get their due pay whenever the furlough and shutdown come to an end, as it did 17 years ago in the last government shutdown, the uncertainty of this time is unfair to workers of every tier — no matter how essential their

21st-century tree hugger job may be.

While wages on the backburner are hard enough to think about, more importantly, vital jobs are not being performed — especially in the hardest hit departments.

The small six percent of workers in the EPA that are excepted and exempt from furlough either qualified because their duties were deemed “essential activities to the extent that they protect life and property,” according to the Office of Management and Budget. Or they are paid through fees and payments that the agency internally collects.

This group of workers predominantly comprises Superfund project managers, who regulate toxic waste sites across the country, and employees that utilize scientific equipment or test animals and plants in laboratories that need to be maintained.

All other personnel, including important positions such as pesticide regulators, are not working due to these budget issues.

If this federal government shutdown is to follow its predecessor in 1995, workers will be furloughed for another three weeks in the least.

The last negotiations on a budget of this kind took 28 days to finalize and work through.

This means that the EPA, and 94 percent of its staff, will not be monitoring our environmental health for the next month because government representatives and senators could not come to an agreement that would deem the appropriation of funds in

the sectors to be “essential.”

This is outrageous.

Environmental health affects the water, trees and animals and also affects our human livelihoods.

Without the EPA, we would not have a force mandating the protection of our world to better protect ourselves.

Our civilization is too large to self regulate the condition of our environment for all people. While local regulation and protection is vital, we need the federal governing power of the EPA to keep our air, water and resources safe. Our system may not be perfect, but we need the best system possible to maintain our health and wellness.

Our “non-essential” goods and ecosystem services that cannot be regulated at this time cannot wait a month. We need a clean world now.

Assembly proposes term changes

By Brett Samuels STAFF WRITER

After two hours of debate, Student Association passed an amendment to its proposed constitution, changing presidential terms to correspond with the academic year.

The SA president currently serves during a calendar year. The new amendment calls for the president to serve from Aug. 1 to July 31.

The changes will only take place if Syracuse University students approve SA’s new constitution in November. But during the meeting, many SA assembly representatives and officers disagreed as to whether the amendment will benefit the organization.

The meeting took place in the Life Sciences Complex and began at 8 p.m.

One effect the amendment would have is that the upcoming elected president, vice president and comptroller will serve three semesters from January 2014 to July 2015.

The debate about the amendment began with Kerry Foxx, associate director of student activities, talking to the assembly about the benefits of shifting presidential terms to an academic year.

One point Foxx brought up was how the current system affects SA between the spring and fall semesters.

“You really lose a lot of momentum in the summer, and then you get back in the fall and you elect new people, then you have to transition and orient new people and you’re trying to get initiatives under way,” Foxx said. “So you get trapped in a loop of recruiting and retaining.”

In the new system, he said, the summer would allow SA to come back to campus a week early — something he said isn’t necessarily feasible during winter break — and discuss its goals as an organization.

Comptroller Stephen DeSalvo said that the

graduates they can be,” she said.

Holding office hours, she said, will be a part of this, with an open door as a sign that anyone can walk in and talk to her.

One of the first things she and the undergraduate office will be doing this semester will be certifying freshmen in Microsoft Excel, a program Nicholson said is fundamental.

“Excel is to business what the alphabet is to reading and writing,” she said, adding that Whitman is planning to certify more than 300

Currently, the president’s term is aligned with the calendar year. amendment would be beneficial to students and SA members in leadership positions.

“When you’re returning for a new year, you expect student government is transitioning to a new year,” DeSalvo said. “I also think with the new system people will have more maturity and more understanding before they have to take on the role they want to run for, and they can still run for two terms.”

Nia Boles, chair of the Student Engagement Committee, added that with the current system, students sometimes forget who they elected while away on summer break, which she believed wouldn’t be the case with terms more

aligned to the academic calendar.

Vice President Duane Ford said by changing the term, the incoming president doesn’t have as many resources before transitioning into office.

President Allie Curtis said the current transition period is much more beneficial. Since people are still on campus, she said, the newly elected president is able to build relationships.

Curtis also said that with the academic calendar term, the new president loses the outgoing president as a resource.

“Since we have that overlap where the president serves the spring of their junior year and the fall of their senior year, it gives the outgoing

president a full semester to be there and support the new administration,” Curtis said.

A section was also added to the amendment, where the president would be permitted to finish the session through July 31 after graduating, to help the transition with the new administration.

The assembly also indefinitely tabled the motion brought up at last week’s meeting to change the organization’s name to Student Government Association.

“It was about setting a precedent about how we govern, and that can all be accomplished without the name change,” Ford said.

freshmen and 100 transfer students this semester.

Other plans for the undergraduate programs aren’t finalized yet, she said, but she plans to have a “creative brainstorming session” later this month to find ways to get students engaged in activities out of the classroom — shifting some focus to extracurricular activities.

Benaroch will now be associate dean of research and Ph.D. programs and has also started forming plans for this semester.

His new position was appended to his previous role as associate dean of research — which he said didn’t surprise him since the responsibilities for both positions overlap.

Research and collaboration with faculty, he

said, will be important elements of the changes he plans to make to the program, clarifying expectations for Ph.D. students.

Benaroch wants to refocus the program’s requirements on research, which he said hasn’t been as strong a focal point. The goal, he said, is to have Ph.D. students conduct research, write and publish peer-reviewed articles before graduating — which will let them have publications to show potential employers during job interviews they may begin having during their fourth year.

The question in the past, he said, has been when to allow students to begin focusing on their research and when to begin teaching while in the program. Publishing a peer-

reviewed research paper typically takes about two to three years, Benaroch said, and starting after the first year can leave students with too little time to publish.

Benaroch also wants to encourage departments to combine doctoral seminars, such as entrepreneurship, organizational behavior and strategic management to “capitalize on crossdepartment synergies.”

A good grouping of departments, he said, could strengthen students’ education, allowing graduates to distinguish themselves with more focused, niche knowledge — which he said could give Whitman Ph.D. graduates an edge.

of University Lectures will narrow it down to either seven or eight people, she added.

Kyle Bass, a part-time instructor at SU and a dramaturge at the Syracuse Stage, has seen several of the past speakers invited by University Lectures and said he will be attending Kushner’s lecture.

“These kinds of programs are exactly what universities need to be offering its students,

faculty, and staff and even community,” Bass said. “I encourage my students to attend these lectures and go and hear active and important writers talk about not only their work but their experiences.”

Since the speakers deal with interdisciplinary topics, they have a broad appeal and cater to all different types of people, said Kelly Rodoski, communications manager in the Office of News

Services. She said that she encourages students to take advantage of the opportunity to see these speakers and broaden their horizons.

“A lot of teachable moments happen during these lectures,” Rodoski said. “These are opportunities to learn and hear things from very dynamic and fascinating people who are making news and doing great things.”

campus.

On Monday, DPhiE began hosting daylong events at the sorority’s house, located at 705 Walnut Ave. The events are a part of the fall recruitment process and will help educate interested students about the organization. The sorority will be choosing its pledge class by the end of this week.

DPhiE officials hope to have about 152 students become part of the chapter and will recruit about 100 members before official recruitment begins this spring.

The sorority is looking for members who are forward thinking, community service-driven and have prior leadership skills, said Maggie Thompson, DPhiE’s coordinator of chapter services. The organization is also looking for women who want to help create traditions and legacies for the future chapter, she said.

“I can’t form that identity for them, but they know the campus, so they know what is expected of organizations, they know what greek life is like, but its really up to them to differentiate and decide what is going to be their identity,” said Thompson, who is also the head of colony recruitment.

She added that every sorority has a similar issue of figuring out what its identity is. She said she thinks a chapter needs to “capitalize on how you began, in order to know where you’re going.”

The sorority’s house is a constant reminder of this idea, with four out of the five founders of DPhiE pictured on its living room walls. Thompson said the women have come to symbolize forward thinking; all of them were students in the New York University School of Law, at a time when women were still unable to vote.

Though the house has been vacant for more than two years, it was built to sustain a large

keep the memory of the victims alive by telling their stories and through events like the candlelight vigil.

Tiffany Steinwert, dean of Hendricks, was the next to speak.

“Indeed this is a sacred week,” she said.

Steinwert commanded the crowd to look to one another and shout out loud what they would do to create a living legacy. The audience was initially hesitant.

family, Thompson said.

The sorority is leasing the former home of Alpha Chi Omega. The sorority left the university in January 2011.

Built in 1911, the house has four floors, and after a new addition was built in 1960, it is able to hold 41 beds, said Lia Madray, a colony consultant for Delta Phi Epsilon International Sorority. Many of the bedrooms maintain their vintage monikers, such as the “locker room,” “city girls” room, a “zoo room” and a “marriage room,” where whoever stayed in the room was stipulated to get married after they move out, Madray said.

Many of the bedrooms are encapsulated by large, bay windows with stained glass paneling and ornate crown molding, giving off a sense of understated grandeur. Except for the added wing, the rest of the house has maintained its original design and architecture, Madray said.

After an eight-week colony period, the sorority can apply to gain charter status, which it intends on doing, Thompson said. Before they can apply to have a charter, members have to complete a list of 30 tasks that include holistic activities and educational activities, she said.

But DPhiE endured about a two-year wait before it was able to officially recolonize on campus, said Hannah McDonald, vice president of recruitment for the Panhellenic Council at SU. The council wanted to allow Alpha Gamma Delta, which established its chapter at SU a few years ago, to build its groundwork and have “time to breathe,” said McDonald, who is also a senior broadcast and digital journalism major.

She said she thinks that DPhiE wanted to return to campus due to the memories and traditions that were first established at SU. McDonald said she was very proud of the Greek community’s support of DPhiE’s arrival on campus. Numerous chapters have knocked on DPhiE’s door and introduced themselves, she said.

On Thursday, to further foster connections, the sorority is inviting the Panhellenic community to visit and tour the house, said Lyndsey Karp, a DPhiE membership manager from the University of Pittsburgh.

But even before the event, DPhiE was backed by a wide network of support — more than 300 alumnae indicated on the group’s Facebook page that they wanted to get “back on board,” said Felicia Bethea, membership manager from Florida Atlantic University.

The gamma chapter’s presence is existent in the house, with black and white photos on nearly every tabletop showing sisters mostly from the 1980s.

“The only thing other sororities asked us to

do was communicate with them,” Karp said. “In response, they’ve really welcomed us. They’ve actually been sending us girls who they think might be a good fit for the house.”

Karp said that since the sorority announced that it was recolonizing, many upperclassmen showed interest in the house, saying they missed the opportunity to “go Greek” in the past.

Most of the sisters won’t live in the house, Karp said, so the house’s large common spaces will accommodate for many visitors.

Said Karp: “When we first got here it was empty. But now even having one recruitment event has really brought a lot of energy into the house and has really lifted its spirits.”

By the third request, voices bellowed from different areas of the crowd: “Heal.” “Be kind to others.” “Love more.”

“Live well.”

Steinwert stepped away as the Remembrance Scholars began lighting each other’s candles, moving the flame down the line.

Shortly after everyone’s candles were lit, the students in attendance followed the Remembrance Scholars toward the Place of Remembrance in front of Hall of Languages.

As they tried to keep the candles lit, the Remembrance Scholars gathered around the Place of Remembrance.

Each of the 35 scholars took turns reading a brief description of the student they were representing.

“Peter Peirce was a modern renaissance man,” read Tory Brewster, the Remembrance Scholar assigned to represent Peirce.

Like Peirce, Brewster is an architecture major who had studied abroad in Florence — a “happy coincidence,” Brewster said.

“I definitely connected with his passion,” she said. She even wrote to Peirce’s widow that it was “great to see into his life” while researching Peirce’s life for the ceremony.

To close the ceremony, an SU a capella group

sang Electric Light Orchestra’s “Turn to Stone.”

Some of those gathered by the wall looked up, some with tears in their eyes.

At the end, students were told to blow out their candles and to leave when they felt it was appropriate.

Reflecting on the day the bombing happened, Burak, the first speaker, said what the vigil commemorates is sad, but the gesture itself is beautiful.

Said Burak: “Keep the Syracuse victims alive and ensure their immortality through stories and events like the one we’re having now.”

Campus canvas the sweet stuff in the middle

Café Kubal features graduate student’s SU-inspired artwork

By Katie Richards and Joe Infantino

A

THE DAILY ORANGE

s a child, Joseph Murphy always wanted his art to be on display. In middle school, he would ask his teachers to use the copier so he could distribute his drawings to as many people as possible.

Born and raised in Central New York, Murphy chose to attend Syracuse University, where he studied illustration for his 2007 undergraduate degree and is continuing to do so in the graduate program.

Before his professional training, he taught himself how to draw by recreating the images of his favorite “X-Men” characters from trading cards he collected.

Still fine-tuning his craft, Murphy is displaying some of his most recent work around campus, inspired by SU’s landscape.

“It has this old school kind of feel, the brown stones,” Murphy said, referring to SU. “It’s a look and feel that I think is very special.

It kind of reminds me of New York City a little bit.”

Café Kubal is displaying Murphy’s art in his second-ever solo exhibit, titled “Where the Vale of Onondaga Meets The Eastern Sky.” It started with a reception on Sept. 19, during which Murphy spoke to guests about the inspiration behind his work. His paintings and drawings will remain at the café until the middle of December, as the semester comes to a close.

All pieces on display are for sale.

The café’s media manager, Christina Trout, is responsible for all things visual in the store, including the art presentation, marketing and design of the café. Last semester, a lot of students wanted to display their art onsite, Trout said, and much of it ended up going on the walls to be critiqued for classes.

But while it offered the students a chance to see their art hanging in a more public space, Trout said she wanted to make it look more professional. She said there was a lack of a consistent theme, which made it appear “very amateur,” even though the artwork itself was strong.

This semester, the staff took submissions from more serious artists — students still included.

“We figured if people like to do that, why don’t we give this opportunity to a more established artist who can really use this opportunity to feature their artwork and get their names and work out there for people to see,” Trout said.

The process included “shopping around” on social media and then

( RIGHT) One of Joseph Murphy’s depictions of Crouse College, the home of the preforming arts school. narrowing down the list of artists who submitted links to their portfolios. After a collaborative effort between Trout and the other managers, Murphy was selected to be the featured artist. Trout said his artwork stood out because of his focus on the campus atmosphere.

Murphy’s current exhibit features about 15 colorful and vibrant prints, all portraying iconic SU buildings and locations. He creates his work

using various media, including acrylic paint, watercolor and oil mixed media with tar.

The Syracuse-inspired pieces began as personalized graduation gifts for friends, but when Murphy showed his work to the SU Bookstore and they began selling prints of his Hall of Languages piece, he decided to pursue this university theme and make a series out it. His print of the Hall of Languages is featured in the

Café Kubal ex hibit, along with images of Hendricks Chapel and Crouse College. In the future, he hopes to focus on buildings that he has not yet captured on the page, such as the Newhouse complex.

He is also currently working on a project that will incorporate some of the pieces from his Café Kubal exhibit. The personal project, entitled “The

Doors of Syracuse,” is based on the Doors of Dublin photograph, a photograph poster featuring a collection of various colored doors found along a main street in Dublin, Ireland.

“It’s a doors series, but there is going to be one door representing each of the different colleges at SU,”

Q&A with SU alumna, 5-time ‘Jeopardy!’ champion

By Margaret Lin

The Daily Orange: What was your journey back onto the “Jeopardy!” reunion show like?

The D.O.: How did you develop your initial interest in the game show?

Two decades after originally appearing on “Jeopardy!” one Syracuse University alumna might get the chance to answer Alex Trebek’s game show questions once again in the near future.

Diane Siegel, who received her undergraduate degree in 1971 and her master’s in 1972, first appeared on “Jeopardy!” in 1993 and became a five-time champion. From there, she earned a spot on the Ultimate Tournament of Champions in 2005.

She participated in a Jeopardy.com contest in which contestants with the most votes will be selected for a special reunion segment called “The Battle of the Decades.” The voting wrapped up on Monday, but Siegel won’t know if she was chosen for the reunion show until a later date.

The Daily Orange spoke with Siegel about her potential return to the “Jeopardy!” stage and why she needs all the SU support she can get.

Diane Siegel: I got an email in May of this year that invited all the former Tournament of Champions players to submit a picture, questionnaire and video. It didn’t exactly say what it was about — they were pretty mysterious about that. So right away, I turned in the questionnaire and sent the picture, but I didn’t send in a video because I didn’t really quite know what to do and it didn’t say that you had to. A month after that, I got an email that said, “We really encourage everyone to submit a video, and you need to send it in in a week. That’s the deadline.” I was totally overwhelmed and said, “Oh what do I do?” I talked to some people, and it really got down to the wire. I got help from a friend of mine, who was a media teacher, and I called her up in a panic and said, “Evelyn, what can I do? I need to send in a video.” And she told me, “Come on down. I can have some of my students help you.”

Siegel: Back when I was in elementary school, I used to watch it at lunchtime. Later on in life, when I was a stay-at-home mom of two kids, I used to watch TV, and sometimes I would play along with games. I tried out for a couple game shows and I did quite well, but I thought if I went on “Jeopardy!” and I did poorly, the whole world would see it and that would be embarrassing. At one point, though, I said, “Well you know, I should really try this because I do really like it and I might do well.” I used to live in Los Angeles, and they used to have a lot of people try out there. So, I went down there — and I studied like crazy — and I got called on, and it was one of those perfect moments when I filmed all five shows I was on in one day so it was a really, really incredible experience.

Columnist explores Italy’s culture through wine-making

I

’ve never been much of a drinker. I’ve never cared for beer’s taste or fizziness, and American wine has always been too strong for me to enjoy. I tried vodka once and promptly spit it out. With my lack of experience, drinking still had that “off-limits” feeling to me.

Then I tried Italian wine, and all of the above feelings changed.

MA X ANTONUCCI

lost and found in florence My host family always has a glass of red wine with dinner. The first night, it was still fairly strong, but the flavor was amazingly sweet, so I kept drinking it. I’d take a sip and let it rest on my tongue for about 15 seconds, letting my taste buds adjust to the alcohol. Less than a week later, drinking red wine was as natural as drinking water — although now I prefer white.

Even as I grew to love it, I was confused about why wine was so important in this country. It has a sentimental value here. Where does that come from? Is it the taste, the relaxing effect, the texture, the elegance or something else? The more I learned about what goes into making wine, the more I understood what it means to the Italian culture.

I saw where the wine-making process starts on a volunteering trip to Cinque Terre, when we walked up hills lined with thousands of growing wine grapes. We spent an afternoon picking them, tossing out the bad grapes and shipping the good ones to the bottom of the hill. We had only worked on a small part of the vineyard, but had gathered enough grapes for almost 100 medium-sized crates.

After that, the crates were individually dumped into a straining machine that separated the grapes from the stem. Each crate was weighed while dry ice was added to keep the grapes from oxidizing. Then, they went

About half of the acrylic illustrations have already been completed, but once all of the campus doors are created, Murphy plans to compile all of the images on a small poster and sell prints of it in the SU Bookstore.

through a tube into a giant tank where they began fermenting. This all took more than seven hours, and it turns out these were only the first few steps of a thousand toward the final result.

On another trip, I visited Montepulciano and Montalcino in Tuscany to visit two wineries. Both had giant cellars of huge, specially made barrels filled with wine, sealed tightly for years, allowing the flavors develop naturally. Some wines waited as few as nine months, while others sat for decades before finally being bottled.

We tasted several wines in small quantities — just enough to really understand them. One I remember vividly was the Vino Nobile, which began fermenting in 2007. It tasted sweet, like candy, with a small firework of intensity that settled into your taste buds. It was as though, in those six years, the wine’s flavor kept building until finally coming together, drunk in a single, fleeting moment that felt longer than it really was.

In that brief moment of tasting the wine, I may finally have understood why Italians put so much passion and effort into a drink that is finished so quickly.

It’s because that process has everything that makes Italian culture so remarkable: passion, dedication, love and a vibrant flavor that brings people together. It’s all of the ingredients of their culture, carefully gathered and distilled into its pure essence. It’s left alone to ferment for so long because they know it doesn’t need anything else added to it. It’s perfect as it is.

Until then, though, Murphy said he is glad to see his long hours of work appreciated, thanks to his exhibit in Café Kubal. kjrichar@syr.edu @ktjrichards jtinfant@syr.edu @joeinfantino

Band of sisters

By Elaina Crockett

I

STAFF WRITER

n any other era, Haim may not have made it.

Haim is made up of sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim. Born in the late ’80s and early ’90s, these 20-somethings grew up listening to classic rock. Their parents were even part of a band called the Rockinhaim. As the sisters began to formulate their own sound, they combined their rock roots with contemporary rhythm and blues and have released their debut album, “Days Are Gone.”

The band has garnered comparisons to artists from the ‘70s, such as Fleetwood Mac, and the ’90s, like TLC. Perhaps because of the band members’ peculiar look, with their long hair and hippie wardrobe, people are not sure what other bands to parallel Haim with. And this may be a good thing.

The album art is a photo of the three sisters sitting oh-so-cool with glasses, staring off into the distance. But it leaves a lot to the imagination for the type of music listeners are in for.

There is an element of mystery with the sisters.

Who are they, and what makes them tick?

The opening song, “Falling,” is reminiscent of Stevie Nicks. Their voices harmonize over an infectious, 1970s-inspired bass line. As the third single off the album, “Falling” has received international acclaim, peaking at

“Falling” Rating:

HAIM

“Days Are Gone” Columbia Records

4/5

number 30 on the United Kingdom singles chart and 85 in Australia.

“Forever,” also released as a single, is extremely fun and catchy. Different instruments are used throughout the song, including a xylophone, synthesizer and groovy bass. It sounds like the lovechild of Eugene Wilde’s 1980s smash hit, “Gotta Get You Home Tonight.”

Danielle demonstrates some of her vocal influence from Elvis in “The Wire,” mimicking his iconic pronunciation of lyrics in a pseudolisp. It’s another fun song that makes a strong addition to the album.

“If I Could Change Your Mind” sounds a bit like an ’80s pop song. For those who appreciate old school music, this one has a very nostalgic feel.

Haim is incredibly eclectic, since the band does not just spew out one genre of music, and includes songs on the album that have their own catchy sounds.

Take, for example, “My Song 5,” which sounds vastly different from any of the other tracks. It has a faint dubstep sound, with bits of psychedelic and electronica.

Despite its differences from the others — and maybe because of them — this is one of the stronger songs on the album. The beat is simple, but what really make this song are the vocals. While there aren’t many instances where they are singing outside of their typical alto range, the Haim sisters can sing well, and this track displays that.

But besides their vocal talent, the Haim sisters also play instruments.

Rock-, R&B-infused group releases experimental, catchy debut full-length album

Este plays percussion, bass and guitar, Danielle plays guitar and drums and Alana plays percussion, guitar and keyboards.

Although the band seems indie, it’s actually signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label, which is strange considering that the music doesn’t seem to reflect the genres one would associate with Hov. But what really stand out about the band is its potential and its ability to intrigue listeners with how different it is.

Perhaps in the future Haim will collaborate with Stevie Nicks or

other similar artists, to whet the appetite of music enthusiasts everywhere. Haim is a breath of fresh air in an industry churning out the same prototype for each new up-and-coming artist, and the band seems promising enough to continue to stay relevant in today’s pop culture. ekcrocke@syr.edu

Class of 2014 wideouts offer potential for struggling group

By Jesse Dougherty ASST. COPY EDITOR

While Tajh Boyd’s record-setting performance on Saturday spells problems for Syracuse’s defense going forward, the game presented a bigger issue on the other side of the ball.

Out of eight completions by Terrel Hunt and three by Drew Allen, zero was caught by wide receivers.

Zero.

For senior Christopher Clark, junior Jarrod West and junior Jeremiah Kobena, the entire game was played under Clemson’s blanket of a secondary.

Their inability to create space paralyzed Hunt, but the sophomore’s problems could be remedied by the fall. For him — or whoever’s under center next fall — help is on the way.

Wideouts K.J. Williams, Corey Cooper and Jamal Custis have each verbally committed to the Orange for 2014, and could be the antidote to the team’s receiving woes. Williams is an all-around athlete that has seen success as a cornerback. Custis is a big-framed receiver with deceptive speed. Cooper is praised for his route running and ability to catch anything that is thrown at him.

For a receiving corps that lost Alec Lemon and Marcus Sales at the end of last season, its future is far more promising than its current build.

“They are going to make an impact as soon as they step on campus,” said A.J. Long, a quarterback who’s also committed to Syracuse for 2014. “These are big receivers that can run and are physical.

“If you look at the Clemson game, the guys coming in aren’t going to let (defensive backs) push them around because they are stronger than the receivers Syracuse has.”

After narrowing his decision down to Syracuse and Michigan, Williams was coaxed by his cousins Long and West to choose SU. A four-star recruit per Scout, he is the Orange’s highest-rated recruit since current sophomore Ron Thompson. At Liberty (Pa.) High School, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound receiver has excelled on both sides of the ball.

Liberty head coach John Truby said that with Williams, Syracuse is getting a pure athlete that can do whatever he pleases on the field.

“Sometimes it seems like he’s a better cor-

nerback,” Truby said. “Here’s a guy that can make any play he wants as a receiver and then turn around and shut down some of the best receivers in the state.”

While Custis’ 6-foot-6 frame is certainly something he uses to his advantage, his greatest asset is his speed. Scout reported that Custis runs a 4.37 40-yard dash, which would have made him the fourth fastest receiver at the 2013 NFL Draft Combine.

Still, Custis’ height — which will in all likelihood make him the tallest receiver on SU’s roster in the fall — is an attribute that shouldn’t be pushed aside. His rare combination of strength and speed has pegged him as a possible walk-on to the Syracuse basketball team next season, an opportunity “he’ll have to think about when he gets there.”

For now, he’s focusing on turning his physical gifts into success on the football field.

“I use my height and my speed to just pick on cornerbacks,” Custis said. “QBs can throw it higher because I always have a height advantage, I can beat guys and let’s say I’m in the back of the end zone, I can use my strength and my size to just go up and get it.”

Originally recruited out of Millbrook (N.C.) High School in the class of 2013, Cooper is currently a fifth-year senior at Jireh Prep (N.C.), where he plans to academically qualify to arrive at Syracuse in January.

Cooper, a three-star recruit and the smallest of the three, chose SU instead of Miami (Fla.), Oklahoma State, Louisville and Tennessee, among other quality programs.

Although Ken Helms was new to the Millbrook football staff last season and only got to watch Cooper play for a brief period of time, he was immediately impressed with the “quiet and unassuming” playmaker.

“What stood out to me was his strong hands in traffic,” Helms said, “he could go up and get it.”

When asked about playing with these three receivers starting next fall, all Long could do was laugh.

Signing to a major-conference Division I program was one thing, but having them join him took his excitement to a new level.

Said Long: “It’s a dream come true knowing these guys are coming. They’re all great players.” jcdoug01@syr.edu @dougherty_ jesse

Geyer surges through Syracuse record book Twin Sudokus.

By Tyler Piccotti STAFF WRITER

Senior forward Leonie Geyer entered Syracuse’s Saturday showdown with No. 4 Virginia tied in fourth place on the Syracuse all-time scoring list with Julie Williamson (1991-94) and Yvonne Milionis (1988-91) at 94 points.

She had no idea.

“Yeah, I didn’t know that. That’s really cool to hear,” she said. “It’s different for me because I’m usually not the one who scores. I love to pass and sometimes that’s annoying to coach (Ange Bradley) because she wants me to score more.”

Much to Bradley’s delight, Geyer did plenty of both against the Cavaliers and Monmouth this weekend.

After exploding with four goals and three assists in a span of 27 hours, including a hat trick against Virginia, the Germany native broke the fourth-place tie and continued her torrid rampage through the Syracuse (10-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast) history books. Her 39 career helpers are good for third-most in team history, and she is also one goal away from cracking the top 10 in that category. Her 30 total points this season also tie her personal best as a sophomore in 2011.

Accolades like those are reason to brag, but Geyer will do nothing of the sort.

“She’s really quiet and doesn’t speak a lot, but I think her statistics tell you a lot about her,” Bradley said. “You don’t realize how much she does for a team until you look at the numbers.”

One thing she has done this season is come

through in the clutch. Her four game-winning goals led the team, and three of them came against Top 10 opponents.

But the other thing that everyone seems to notice about Geyer is her innate unselfishness.

“She doesn’t really like to be the center of attention. A lot of times she’d rather pass and get the assist than score a goal,” junior midfielder Jordan Page said. “She’s a phenomenal player. Very highly skilled and just really great to play with.”

“You don’t realize how much she does for a team until you look at the numbers.”

SYRACUSE HEAD COACH

Bradley said that Geyer’s ability to set up teammates is among the best that she’s ever seen.

“She just moves the ball so well,” Bradley said. “She reads a situation really well, and if she sees someone who has a better look than her, she will pass it.”

Geyer said that her time on the German national team was crucial for her development as a player. She was a participant in the U-16, U-18 and U-21 divisions from 200510 before making the long journey halfway across the globe to Syracuse.

She credited the style of play in her home

country for her tendency to look for passing lanes and spread the field.

“Here it’s way more athletic, whereas in Germany it’s more about tactics than individual skills,” Geyer said. “Here, timing and speed are important. If you’re a good athlete here, usually you’re good to go, but in Germany you need a bit more intelligence.”

For a team mostly composed of freshmen and sophomores, that intelligence has provided crucial leadership during a strong 10-1 start.

In addition, Bradley said that Geyer’s field vision sets her apart from some of the other great players that have donned an Orange uniform.

Although past star Kelsey Millman (200912) was an offensive finisher and Martina Loncarica (2008-11) used her personal agility to beat defenders, Bradley said that Geyer is the type of player that searches for openings in passing lanes to create opportunities.

Although Geyer is willing to pass up a scoring chance, she does not want to waste her final run at a national championship.

Forget the records and the stats. They’re nice, but the senior said that they’re not the ultimate goal.

They never were, and one of the most productive careers in school history hasn’t changed that fact.

“Now the exciting part is coming up with the good opponents in the ACC,” Geyer said.

“We’ll just keep working on coming together as a team and playing hard, and hopefully we’ll get the good final results.” tfpiccot@syr.edu

or smiling as they form the foundation for Syracuse (5-11, 0-4 Atlantic Coast).

Wlaszczuk and Salkute both said that the ability to communicate with someone in a similar situation was important in making the transition to Syracuse easier.

“First time we came we didn’t know the language so well,” Salkute said. “So we were trying to explain other way and Americans didn’t understand it. But we understand each other.”

Added Wlaszczuk: “Like even though, for example, I’m not speaking Russian, but I would understand 75 percent of what Silvi is saying, Silvi would understand 75 percent of what I’m speaking in Polish. Monika understands Russian.

“It’s really hard to understand Lithuanian, though. No chance.”

When they arrived in Syracuse, many of the players on the team lived far away from each other. But Wlaszczuk lived with Uattara on South Campus last year and does again this year. Salkute is their next-door neighbor for the second consecutive year. Although Salkute does

“We’ve talked about our need to share the load,” McIntyre said. “It’s important that we share the load, because I don’t think we have a 15-to-20-goal player on our team.”

Ekblom leapfrogged to the top of the scoring column after his hat trick — SU’s first since 2008 — against North Carolina State on Friday, a 5-0 beating in which Syracuse’s forwards had a field day.

For the Orange’s second goal of the night, Ekblom led Nanco with a perfect cross just past the goalkeeper. Ekblom then proceeded to put on a three-goal performance — the last of which was made possible by a pass from fellow freshman Oyvind Alseth.

“We are fluid up front,” Ekblom said on Friday. “Our front guys play well together. We try to find each other up front and it worked out well tonight.”

That chemistry has struck opposing defens-

not physically live with them, Wlaszczuk said that she pretty much lives at their apartment.

While they had many similarities and lived together, Wlaszczuk and Salkute both said that it really took them until after winter break to feel that bond that they had built over the course of the season.

“We saw each other we jumped on each other,” Wlaszczuk said. “We missed each other.”

“Now we realize,” Salkute interjected, “every evening we are all the time together. Going to classes together, having lunch together.”

“We’re like cooking for each other,” Wlaszczuk said. “We’re like family, like sisters.”

The three all come from different countries, but those countries’ cultures are more similar to each other than that of the United States.

Living close by certainly helped their relationship grow, but the biggest reason they are now so tight is because of how easily they can relate to one another and the similar problems they go through.

“We have the same problems, we’re thinking the same way. Even we would be like, ‘Oh my God, Americans,’” Wlaszczuk said, rolling her eyes. “It’s so much different and we have exactly same problems in Europe.”

Head coach Leonid Yelin is also is from over-

seas — he was born in what was then the Soviet Union — and has been coaching for more than 25 years. Oftentimes, he even lands multiple players from the same country.

But that does not always cause strong bonds

es in a handful of occasions this season.

Alseth found Ekblom for SU’s fourth goal in its season-opening win at Colgate. Nanco and Halis combined for nine points — four goals and one assist — in the Orange’s win against Manhattan.

And if the Orange needs heroics, its freshman group has proved reliable.

Halis netted the only goal in Syracuse’s upset of then-No. 12 Connecticut on Sept. 17. Ekblom and Nanco each scored in the second half of SU’s comeback win at Duke three days later.

Deadlocked in overtime against Binghamton on Oct. 1, Halis came through with his third game-winning goal of the season.

“Our freshmen are very, very talented,” McIntyre said. “We realized that our new guys would have to contribute with some goals and some important goals at important times.”

Still, the ACC transition has not been easy for the Orange. Syracuse sits at just 2-3 in-conference and takes on a Boston College team that managed to tie the same Notre

Dame team that dominated the Orange.

Building off of SU’s confidence-boosting victory against N.C. State, its freshmen will need to continue to rise to the challenge as ACC play intensifies.

“I think as time goes on, we’ll pick up the speed and tempo,” Nanco said after SU’s loss to Virginia, “and play the way we know how to play, which is very fast and moving the ball forward and getting after scoring goals.”

spencer bodian | asst. photo editor CHRIS NANCO and fellow freshman forwards Alex Halis and Emil Ekblom are the top three leading scorers for the Orange, which lost its five leading scorers from 2012.

between those athletes like the one Uattara, Salkute and Wlaszczuk share.

“Sometimes you bring in two players from the same country and you expect they going to be helping each other and close to each other,” Yelin said. “Absolutely not. They not from the same country but somehow they, I don’t know, maybe it’s feeling like we all foreigner here.”

Yelin has struggled to recruit American-born players in his brief career at Syracuse. He said it’s difficult to convince them to come to a program that hasn’t had much success and has outdated facilities.

This is exactly why he recruits players like

Uattara, Salkute and Wlaszczuk from overseas.

“I can bring in international players,” Yelin said. “They’re going to come just because of me.

From the coaches, from parents who’ve played for me. Their parents know what I can do for them, they know they can trust me. They’re going to send their kids.”

None of the three specifically said that Yelin was the main reason they ended up at SU, but Yelin pushed hard to recruit in an area with which he’s familiar.

Coming from somewhere in the United States can be hard, but it is a lot easier for Americans to contact their loved ones from home and to visit than it is for someone from Russia or Lithuania.

Uattara admits that initially it was quite hard to be so far away from her family and that the time difference can make it hard to contact her loved ones.

But it’s become easier now. For all three of them, it was hard at the start, but now they have each other.

“It was big change to leave home for first time,” Wlaszczuk said. “I feel it’s much better that we have each other in Monika and Silvi.

We’re all international at the same time.” rlraigro@syr.edu

Freshmen lift new-look SU offense

CB Lyn will miss rest of 2013 season

By Phil D’Abbraccio

By Stephen Bailey

Before this season even began, the Syracuse offense faced a tall order: It needed to replace its top five leading scorers from 2012.

Tony Asante, Who: Boston College a senior Where: Chesnut Hill, f o r Mass. ward, When: Today, 5 p.m. tore his A C L before the season started. Jordan Vale, whose nine goals led SU and tied for sixth in the Big East, transferred to UCLA. Lars Muller and Ted Cribley graduated, as did Louis Clark — who is still on Syracuse’s sideline in a coaching capacity.

Despite the scoring challenge that confronted the Orange, its youth has answered the call.

“We understood that we were replacing the majority of our goal production, so we understood that the new guys have to step up,” head coach Ian McIntyre said, “and we have confidence in them.”

A trio of Syracuse freshman forwards — Emil Ekblom, Alex Halis and Chris Nanco — has accounted for 15 of the Orange’s 24 goals thus far, and the three players rank as SU’s top three scorers.

They’ll look to continue to carry the Syracuse (8-3, 2-3 Atlantic Coast) attack when SU travels to Boston College (4-3-2, 2-2-1) on Tuesday for a 5 p.m. matchup.

Even with so many proven threats from a year ago unavailable now, the Orange attack is on pace to eclipse its own numbers from a year ago.

Through 11 games, SU’s shooting percentage is up from 13.7 to 18.5 percent, and the team averages 2.18 goals per game after netting 1.86 goals per contest in 2012.

In 21 games last year, the Orange logged 39 goals — a total that SU is primed to surpass.

The freshmen’s execution has been balanced. Ekblom tops SU with six goals, while Halis has scored five and Nanco four.

Syracuse cornerback Keon Lyn will miss the rest of the season with a lower-body injury that requires surgery, SU Athletics announced on Monday. “ O u r thoughts and prayers go out to him and his mom, Louise,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said on Orange AllKEON LYN Access. “It’s a tough deal. It’s the worst part of the sport are these injures. He’s given us a lot, and we’re going to sincerely miss him.”

Lyn appeared to suffer the injury in the Orange’s 49-14 loss to No. 3 Clemson on Saturday.

The senior will leave Syracuse with 89 career tackles and three interceptions. He had 16 tackles through five games this season.

Lyn’s injury leaves the Orange without two of its top three cornerbacks. Brandon Reddish missed the Clemson game with a lower-body injury suffered against Tulane on Sept. 21.

Reddish and Ri’Shard Anderson will now likely serve as the starting cornerbacks moving forward. Julian Whigham, who played as the Orange’s nickel corner against the Tigers, would likely step into the starting lineup, should Reddish also be unavailable against North Carolina State on Saturday. Whigham hauled in his second career interception on Saturday, picking off Tajh Boyd for the first time this year.

Wayne Morgan could also continue to see an expanded role at cornerback.

“Minor setback for a major comeback. My college career at cuse is over but I enjoyed it. This won’t be the last thing yall hear of me,” Lyn said in a tweet on Monday.
