Al Davis, member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, owner of the Oakland Raiders and a 1950 graduate of Syracuse University, died Saturday. He was 82. The Raiders said he died at his home in Oakland, Calif. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed. Before Davis made his legacy DAVIS in helping shape pro football as the outspoken owner of the Raiders, he played junior varsity football, basketball and baseball at SU while pursuing an English degree. Throughout the years, Davis was a quiet supporter of Syracuse football. He donated money for new locker facilities for SU athletes, according to a 1992 article in The Post-Standard. “We have lost a Syracuse legend and pioneer with the passing of Al Davis. We are all deeply saddened,” SU Athletics Director Daryl Gross said in a statement. “His impact on the NFL is unmatched and was obvious. His standard for excellence has been copied by many. We will miss his communication with us and his love for Syracuse. We will memorialize his legacy, as he will never be forgotten in the Syracuse community.” Davis’ passion for football was evident at Syracuse when he went to varsity practices and spent every Saturday at the top of Hendricks Hill watching the team play in Archbold Stadium. Davis took notes on each play the Orangemen ran and then compared them to head coach Ben Schwartzwalder’s after the game. It served as an introduction to coaching in football for Davis, who would go on to coach at a variety of college programs and professional franchises before finally landing in Oakland as the head coach and general manager of the Raiders in 1963. In 48 years as a coach, general manager and owner of the Raiders, Davis led the franchise to 28 winnings seaSEE DAVIS PAGE 4

‘We are SU’ slogan leads Carr’s bid for presidency By Rachael Barillari STAFF WRITER

Taylor Carr, Student Life Committee chair, will run for president of Student Association’s 56th session with the goal of making SA more connected to the community. Carr will run his campaign with the slogan “We are SU,” he said, representing the idea that Syracuse University is nothCARR ing without its students. “We are SU, we make up this campus, it is our responsibility to make it better, to make a change and to make a difference,” Carr said.

If elected president, Carr said he hopes to work with PJ Alampi, the Board of Elections and Membership chair, to change the SA codes so each member has five required community service hours per semester. “We’re the student leaders who want to make a difference, and yet we look around and all these other organizations have mandated community service hours, they are going out and making a difference, not only on the hill, but off the hill. And Student Association, in my opinion, is lacking in that area,” Carr said. Carr also said he wants to work to distinguish the roles of vice president and chief of staff. He said he SEE CARR PAGE 6

Lustig to run for president with student-focused plan

By Rachael Barillari STAFF WRITER

Dylan Lustig, vice chair of the Student Engagement Committee, will run for president of the Student Association with the slogan: “We are giving the Student Association back to the students.” The sophomore international relations and economics major decided to run for president LUSTIG because he disagrees with the way SA is currently being administrated, Lustig said. “This is not functioning as a student government anymore,”

Lustig said. If elected, Lustig said his goal will be to better unite SA assembly members with the students each member represents. Lustig said he has already written a bill to begin amending the issue. The bill requires each member to be on a committee representing their home college, enabling them to keep in touch with constituents. To bring the student body together, Lustig’s solution is to create a campus-wide day of community service, Lustig said. “I think that as student leaders, as student government, it should be our duty to give back,” Lustig said.
