Changes discussed at forum

By Madysan Foltz staff writer

The need to unify departments and programs across campus was one of the central points discussed at the final Fast Forward Syracuse forum on Monday morning.

The forum was part of the ongoing Fast Forward Syracuse initiative and was held in CrouseHinds Hall at 11:30 a.m. Monday.

The forum focused on taking audience suggestions and feedback on what the university’s strengths and weaknesses are in terms of its academic reputation.

We seem to be treating diversity as separate from the seven key plans.

Syracuse quarterback Terrel Hunt will miss 4-6 weeks with a fractured fibula, the football program announced in an email late Monday morning.

SU head coach Scott Shafer spoke to Orange All-Access host Matt Park on Monday and did not name a starting quarterback for the Orange’s upcoming game against No. 1 Florida State.

“I just feel so bad for the young man,” Shafer said of Hunt on Orange All-Access. “... But now we’re going to move forward this week and try to develop a plan for Austin (Wilson) and AJ (Long ) and have Mitch (Kimble) ready to go as well.”

Wilson, a sophomore, has been the second quarterback on SU’s depth chart all season. But Shafer hinted to a multi-quarterback system that would include Wilson and Long, a freshman, and possibly Kimble, a sophomore, as well.

“In an ideal world, you’d love to have one quarterback who can do all those things,” Shafer added in the video. “But right now the reality is we don’t want to put that weight on any singular player. “... There’s definitely a dropoff because Terrel’s a very good quarterback and his development just continued to ramp up. But now with him out, we go to the next ballplayer up.”

The forum was moderated by Andria Costello Staniec, an associate professor and associate provost for academic programs, and Cristina Marchetti, associate director of the Syracuse Biomaterials Institute in the physics department. Staniec and Marchetti informed the audience that they were unable to directly address individual questions, but rather would facilitate audience feedback on the initiative.

An overarching theme throughout the forum was the lack of unification across the SU campus. Different audience members expressed concern over the silo-based system in which parts of campus are divided into sections, which makes it difficult to unify the university.

Roommates celebrate friendship with tattoos

By Gigi Antonelle staff writer

When Jen Corletta and Emma Reed moved into Day Hall on the first day of their freshman year in college, they didnít know that the number 537 would become so special to them.

The two of them, now seniors, have been inseparable for the past four years.

“I didn’t come to college expecting to be best friends with my roommate,” Corletta said. “Our room became the hangout room, and it evolved as our group of friends was referred to by our room number.”

Their room number 537 is tattooed on the inside of their lower lips.

They spontaneously decided to get the tattoos in March of their freshman year.

“If I had to tag Chuck’s, it would be with 537,” Corletta said, laughing.

Corletta, a public relations major, and Reed, a communications design major, describe themselves as opposites.

“Jen’s more enthusiastic, more friendly. I’m more laid back,” Reed said.

The women are also physically opposite, Reed is 6 feet tall, while Corletta stands at only 5 feet, 2 inches.

Student presents resolution Assembly passes bill supporting changes to SU’s harrassment policy

#itooamSU photo exhibit goes on display in Schine

By Chris Libonati staff writer

The Syracuse University chapter of the NAACP has been fighting for marginalized students through rallies recently, but is now using a different method to continue its #itooamSU campaign.

On Monday, the organization unveiled photos of students holding a sign with the hashtag #itooamSU and a personal note. Around 30 photos will be displayed in the Panasci Lounge in Schine Student Center until Oct. 13.

The “I Too Am” campaign originated at Harvard in March of 2014 and has spread to over 30 campuses since. The SU NAACP chapter adopted the campaign after a video of Hanna Strong using racial and homophobic slurs was posted online last month.

The video was just a tipping point, however. Students needed a forum to respond to the Hanna Strong video, as well as other micro-aggressions or subtle stereotypical comments, said J’lessa Wallace, the vice president of external affairs with the Student African-American Society.

“This is about awareness of a bigger movement, this is bigger than Hanna Strong, this is bigger than cuts

to certain programs,” Wallace said.

Anthony Orendorff, a graduate student, took the photos in coordination with the NAACP for the event. The NAACP recruited students prior to the photo shoot, but Orendorff said even more students asked to join the photo shoot while he was taking photos.

“With unity, the minority population on campus gets the courage because they see other people, they get inspired and they’re not that scared to voice their opinion,” Orendorff said.

Students put wide-ranging messages on their “I Too Am” signs.

Many students at the unveiling thought Frediqua McCullers’ sign that read “brown skin, orange blood” was particularly powerful.

McCullers, a sophomore communications and rhetorical studies major, said she wanted something that was simple and straight to the point, but also emphasized that she was part of the campus.

“Those two things go together, skin and blood, my skin is brown, I am a brown-skinned woman, but I do have Orange blood like any other student here,” McCullers said.

So far, NAACP members think the campaign has been a success.

There is a new quote written on the wall of Student Association’s office: “What have we done for students?”

At the organization’s meeting on Monday night in the Life Sciences Complex, President Boris Gresely posed this question to assembly members. The question became the theme of the meeting. In addition, Gresely described his recent meetings regarding Chancellor Kent Syverud’s Fast Forward Syracuse strategic plan and SA passed law student Zachary Greenberg’s resolution supporting changes to Syracuse University’s harassment policy.

In his meeting with the Strategic Plan Steering Committee last week, Gresely discussed Fast Forward see sa page 6

BRIANNA DUTTON, a sophomore marketing and advertising dual major, presented a slideshow during the opening of the #itooamSU photo gallery in the Panasci Lounge on Monday night. Thirty photos were showcased in the gallery. renee zhou asst. photo editor

The NAACP has promoted the campaign on Twitter with the hashtag #itooamSU as well as on Tumblr and Instagram through photos. The organization has also sold #itooamSU buttons to students. In addition, 95 photos were put on the grassy knoll between Newhouse and Schine Student Center.

Wallace said she thinks the campaign has gained even more buzz than the NAACP and SAS expected.

“I’m very pleased with the outcome of just how viral things have been

going with #itooamSU, from Twitter, social media to the visual campaign on Instagram,” Wallace said.

The campaign has had its difficulties though. On Oct. 2 two students were seen with signs from the knoll. A fellow student educated them on the campaign and took the signs from the students.

The NAACP was prompted to remove the signs on the knoll to prevent any other signs from being taken. see photos page 6

letter to the editor

Student responds to points raised by University Lecture speaker Van Jones raised some undeniable truths when he spoke in Hendricks Chapel this past week about “Green Jobs and Sustainability.”

The chapel seemed to be the perfect locale as he spoke of such actions as building greater awareness and awakening in us our deepest sense of human compassion in response to countless global injustices. Jones shamelessly brought to light issues ranging from police brutality to social injustice to climate change.

What seems most powerful though was his ability to show the inherent, but often underrepresented, interconnectedness of these complex issues. Jones was bringing up issues of environmental injustice — the

unequal distribution of environmental hazards. Environmental injustice affects low-income and minority communities, as well as communities of color. It also represents the lack of minority voices from getting a say in political affairs pertaining to environmental decision-making.

An example that Jones gave during his speech particularly addressed this when he spoke of the People’s Climate March that occurred just a couple of weeks prior on the streets of New York City. As he walked to find his place in the crowd, he met eyes with indigenous peoples whose sacred land was now not only historically stolen from them, but currently threatened and destroyed from

pollution and larger climate threats. He also saw young people of color from the Bronx who fight the fight daily, suffering from smog and other city pollution. These issues are alive and significant and do not seem to be adequately represented by our media or political leaders.

However, another perspective was raised the night of the lecture: Jones was claimed as making “divisive” comments in regard to race. Is addressing the racial component of environmental justice issues indeed divisive?

Jones himself responded to this comment with “… there is no way to get to the unity that we want without first talking about the disunity that we’ve had.”

As we learn better how best to address the sensitive balance between diversity and unity, indeed many perspectives must be embraced. One hopeful action that is being done on campus is that student leaders of various organizations are coming together to work as a team in the effort to solve some of these complex and interconnected issues.

The movement for world justice is only growing. Van Jones raised the energy around environmental injustice issues among so much more and now it’s our collective obligation to ride that wave as far as it will take us.

letter to the editor

Graduate Student Organization President responds to editorial board The Graduate Student Organization and the graduate student body vehemently disagree with the Editorial Board’s recent opinion on the new grad student child care grant. The Editorial Board suggests that the grant should not be funded by the employee fringe benefit pool, but instead come from the graduate student fee.

Unfortunately, this suggestion does not take into account the complexities or realities of this program, which has the approval of the Board of Trustees and upper administration.

Graduate students desperately need child care assistance. The two on-campus child care

centers have a total of 120 slots, far too few to support the students, faculty and staff at SU. Child care elsewhere in Syracuse is difficult to find and expensive. Upper administration and the GSO have found a partial solution in providing funding for a grant to offset a small portion of this cost. This program supports graduate student parents as they complete their degrees, ensuring they have a better chance of completing at all, and completing on time, both of which are key university priorities. This grant also supports the most financially vulnerable segment of the university community, one for

which this university should stand in support of. In addition, the very need for this program is in part due to a failure by the university to provide additional child care options, both to students and employees. Thus, the university itself should bear the burden of funding this program, as it has committed to.

This program represents a moderate cost to the fringe benefit pool, but a cost too large to bear by the graduate student fee. In addition, this type of support is not appropriate for funding from a student fee. To say this should be funded from graduate student fees

is equivalent to saying that a portion of the financial aid given to undergraduates should come from the undergraduate student fee, instead of “unfairly” coming from full-paying undergraduate and graduate students, a clearly repulsive conclusion.

We are a university, which should mean that we are all willing to support each other in our struggles and endeavors. We hope the Editorial Board will take this into account in future opinions.

SU must work to reduce student loan debt The University of Chicago announced last week that it will replace student loans with grants starting in Fall 2015, according to the U.S. News and World Report.

The change will affect students that receive need-based aid and aims to reduce the number of students that need to apply for loans.

Syracuse University should also review how it can reduce student debt in the future.

The University of Chicago has joined more than 50 colleges in the U.S. — including Yale, Harvard and Cornell University — that have pledged to eliminate or decrease the need for students to take out loans, according to U.S. News and World Report. SU is not among the colleges listed on projectonstudent-

debt.org. While each university has different tactics to reduce student loans, the University of Chicago’s plan focuses on helping lower income students by replacing loans with grants.

Although providing more aid to students might not be practical for the university’s budget within the next few years, SU should investigate how it can reduce student loan debt.

SU has taken some measures to provide low-income students a chance to attend the university.

The Posse program, despite the cuts made to it, provides students from specific cities around the country full scholarships to the university.

SU also offers work-study and according to the U.S. News and World Report, offers students an

average of $25,670 in need-based scholarships or grant awards.

More attention needs to be paid to the students who can only afford tuition by taking out student loans. An estimated 40 million Americans now have student loan debt, according to an analysis from credit bureau Experian released in September. SU should look into how it can reduce that number.

This is not a change the university will likely be able to implement within the short-term future. But in order to reduce the need for student loans, as well as better serve students in lower income households, the university should follow the lead of the 50 other universities that have pledged to reduce or eliminate student debt.

University must ensure diversity conversation extends beyond forum

O

n Thursday, the student-university forum “Express Yourself: A Syracuse University Community Conversation on Diversity and Inclusion” took place in Hendricks Chapel. Led by members of the university’s leadership team, the event was a time for students, faculty and administrators to come together and discuss the fragile state of the university.

“Express Yourself” was a good step for continuing conversations and creating an inclusive space on campus. But above all, the event should serve as a wake-up call for SU to ensure that the important messages coming out of these conversations are not confined to the same groups identifying with these issues. The next step for the university should be to ensure that

NINA RODGERS A CHAIN REACTION

conversations about inclusiveness are not just preaching to the choir.

The university NAACP chapter, along with student organizations such as Pride Union, made strides in recognizing this need through a silent protest held just before the start of the forum. Students could be found sitting on the front steps of Hendricks Chapel with signs saying things such as, “We Exist,” “Why Do I Have to Choose Between My Identities” and “Send Me Emails About Your Thoughts on the Concerns of Your Students” to name a few. The silent protest spoke volumes in expressing that students

are not content with current practices of the university, and that all standpoints should be valued.

As a junior, I have been to a countless number of forums, panels and discussions on campus centered on these same topics.

Students oftentimes leave these events feeling frustrated that the conversations are redundant, and that the same groups of people always attend. “Express Yourself” may have started to bridge the gap between talk and action, but a general consensus among many of the people in attendance was that the stories and thoughts being discussed were things that the entire campus should be aware of.

With the many changes occurring at SU, there have been very few dull moments this semester in activism. Groups such as the

NAACP and Student African American Society have led many discussions and rallies the campus’ most pertinent issues, but now, it is refreshing and exciting to see more student organizations such as Pride Union involved in strategic planning. This shows that students have begun to take it upon themselves to ensure that all voices and viewpoints are represented.

Although the planning leading up to “Express Yourself” had some students concerned about the transparency of administration and willingness to include the input of student leaders, the event turned out to be a successful discussion.

But the university cannot be content with just that one moment, since a large portion of the campus that should be aware of the issues at hand were not there. If the SU

community wants to change its climate for years to come, it must be steadfast in ensuring that they add new members to the choir.

fast forward said she has worked across multiple academic, support and administrative departments during her time at SU and said the university at large remains very divided.

“I find silos everywhere,” Alestalo said.

“When we’re dealing with silos I think some of it is we’ve all gotten very used to working in our own offices instead of reaching out across and I think as we look at that issue we have to look at the entire university.”

More than just across academic and administrative boundaries, Alestalo said she feels like diversity needs to be promoted within the

Syracuse’s vision and mission statements. He asked assembly members for their opinions on the statements, which he thinks are “too generic.” Gresely believes the vision statement, which says SU is “renowned for academic rigor, richly diverse learning experiences and a spirit of discovery,” isn’t distinct to SU. Assembly members felt similarly and suggested changing the word “renowned.”

Gresely also met with the Operational Excellence Steering Committee, which focuses on increasing efficiency within the university.

Gresely said the work this committee does mostly pertains to the internal operations of SU.

student and faculty body.

“We seem to be treating diversity as separate from the seven key plans,” she said. “If you want to have an excellent student body, you need a diverse student. You want to be global, you need to have a diverse student body and a diverse faculty body. If you want to be strong and be the best, you need diverse ideas.”

Jake Tanksley, director of recruitment and retention, stressed the importance of articulating the values of the university and finding a common identity that it can promote.

He added that if SU is able to articulate its values, it will help drive the rest of the university’s mission.

One audience member in attendance said

that if one of the issues that SU faces is problems maintaining and sharing resources across silos, SU should consider if it has too many silos and sub-silos.

“We have a number of silos here at all different academic levels,” he said. “Are there too many silos and within those silos, are there too many sub-silos? We need to figure out which ones are at high standards of excellence now, and which ones just aren’t. Trying to grow ones that aren’t seems to be putting money and resources into places that are just breaking up what we’re already famous for.”

Other problems and solutions that audience members proposed include: • Better promotion of these forums

around campus • Concentration on student and faculty

research experiences through the development of research data policy and

infrastructure on campus • SU going through zero-based budgeting • Systematic consideration of infrastructure • Careful promotion of quality undergradu

ate experience from the beginning • Have a systematic inventory of our assets Although Monday was the last scheduled open forum, students, faculty and staff members can still voice their opinions by filling out a “Share Your Idea” form on the Fast Forward website through the end of October.

Though the Operational Excellence Steering Committee “doesn’t have a direct impact on students,” Gresely said he also serves on the Working Group for Undergraduate Excellence, which focuses on issues that solely involve students. This workgroup tries to foster a better environment for students both inside and outside the classroom.

In addition to Gresely’s reports, Zachary Greenberg, a law student, presented a resolution he has written to make SU’s subjective harassment policy more specific. Greenberg said SU is one of the worst universities in the nation for free speech, and as a member of the Student Bar Association, the law school’s equivalent of SA, he wants to change that.

Greenberg said SU’s harassment policy is “egregious to free speech,” especially through

digital communication. The university has taken serious action against students who have violated this policy. In the past few years alone, an education student was expelled for a comment they wrote on Facebook, and an investigation into something a law student said online was conducted. These instances, which, according to the resolution, are “widely considered to be within the bounds of protected expression,” have damaged SU’s reputation.

Greenberg said he believes that constitutionally protected free speech should also be protected at SU. He wants to replace the policy’s vague and subjective definitions of harassment as “offensive” and “annoying” actions “with more specific language such as ‘threats of violence, obscenity, child pornography and

harassing communications as defined by law.’”

SA passed Greenberg’s resolution and gave him several suggestions for next steps. SA representative Nicole Sherwood advised Greenberg to have a forum so students can discuss what they classify as harassment. SA Vice President Daniela Lopez suggested Greenberg discuss his resolution with the Graduate Student Organization.

Assembly members are involved in SA during a crucial time for the university, said SA adviser Kerry Fox. Fox encouraged student representatives to talk about these changes with their constituencies. Fox warned that if assembly members are “not making noise,” then their hopes for the path SU will take may not be acknowledged.

Reed added that she wants to expand #itooamSU and other campaigns beyond organizations the NAACP is familiar with.

Although the campaign has gotten attention, Orrendorff, the photographer, said he hopes the

campaign extends beyond protests and pictures and can result in something being done.

College uses strategic planning process to focus on future

By Anjali Alwis staff writer

S

UNY-ESF has begun the process of setting goals for the college for the next five years and beyond.

In an effort to lay out the college’s long-term goals, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry President Quentin Wheeler has put in place a threestep strategic planning process.

The first phase is an envisioning exercise focused on the next five to 20 years for SUNYESF, according to the strategic planning website. In this phase, students and faculty aim to figure out how to play a larger role in American environmentalism, increase science literacy and increase the visibility of SUNY-ESF nationally and internationally as an institution focused on environmental issues.

The second phase, which will begin in January, will focus on setting priorities to figure out which goals the college can realistically pursue in the near future and how to allocate resources. The last phase, which will be com-

I want a clear vision of where I am leading the college and I want the entire ESF community to have the opportunity to shape that vision.

Quentin Wheeler suny-esf president

pleted by May 2015, is the creation of the strategic plan itself, with specific goals and dates set as well as metrics for tracking progress, according to the website.

Wheeler said in an email that the purpose of the plan is to focus SUNY-ESF’s vision on areas where it can make contributions to education, discovery and problem solving.

He added that he was inspired by scientist E.O. Wilson’s observation that in science, asking the right question is more important than finding the right answer. So, while asking a trivial question leads only to a trivial answer, asking the “right” question, even if unanswerable in exact form, will lead to major discoveries, Wheeler said.

As a result, Wheeler said he has challenged the SUNY-ESF community to consider which environmental and sustainability questions are “right” for the college. He said he wants to address “the most important issues facing science and society and which build upon ESF’s strengths.”

The three-step process also aims to discover the “optimal organization through which to excel at the pursuit of these questions,” Wheeler said.

“It’s not a campaign but a process to determine how the college can use existing resources and add resources to offer programs that would be among the best in the nation/ world,” said Donald Leopold, a professor at SUNY-ESF and a co-chair of one of the visioning groups, in an email.

SUNY-ESF is launching the strategic planning process because of the arrival of a new president, “which is when most institutions do this planning,” Leopold said.

their aspirations and desires.

“I want a clear vision of where I am leading the college and I want the entire ESF community to

A survey had been given in the spring that asked faculty and staff open-ended questions

about environmental issues, strengths and weaknesses of SUNY-ESF and about other top environmental universities. The strategic planning process was introduced on Sept. 17 and the first visioning group meeting was held on Sept. 24 and continued the survey’s job of collecting ideas for the future of the university.

Students are welcome to attend these sessions and there is an additional track put in place exclusively for student input as the president believes that open engagement with students is critically important to the process, Wheeler said.

“We are trying to envision the greatest issues on the horizon,” Wheeler said. ”Students will inherit that world and will be our only and best hope for solving those problems.” acalwis@syr.edu

Lower heating bills predicted for upstate NY this winter

By Lauren Doyle contributing writer

National Grid is predicting that the cost of heating bills in upstate New York will decrease by 10 percent this winter.

The average household will pay $65 less in heating bills than last winter, meaning it will only cost an average of $554 this year to pay for heat from November through March, according to National Grid. This is a decrease from last winter’s average heating bill of $619. The expected lower heating bill is in part due to decreasing costs of electricity and gas in the nation.

Virginia Limmiatis, a National Grid media relations representative, said the cost of electricity and gas has gone down because last year’s cold temperatures caused usage to go up. Since all units were competing for the same source of energy for heating, that made prices go up.

“The electricity generators used natural gas and competing for the same natural resources is what made prices higher,” she said. “They had to use coal and oil as an alternative mean to generate electricity.”

Melanie Littlejohn, the regional executive director of National Grid, said in a Sept. 30 Syracuse.com article that the forecast of lower bills assumes normal weather and extreme cold weather could change the outlook.

Mariana Espinal, a senior mechanical engi-

neering major, said last year she was really upset with National Grid after receiving an extremely high bill during the winter.

“Normally the bill ranged from about $65 to $200 per month. We had one month, I think February, that came out to about $400,” she said. “It was insane, our usage hadn’t changed, they just doubled the cost of everything for the month.”

Espinal said she wasn’t the only customer dealing with the rise in prices last winter.

Most of the people living in the neighborhood around Syracuse University had to deal with the high prices because National Grid is basically the only gas and electric company in the area, she said.

Espinal said the news about decreasing prices is encouraging but only if the cost difference is significant.

“If I start saving $20 to $40 each month on my bill, I’d probably be a happy National Grid customer,” she said.

“We had to just suck it up and pay $400 that month,” she said. “I was really angry but you know, you can’t really live without heat or electricity in the winter.”

Gisselle Cedeno, a junior communications and rhetorical studies major, is also looking forward to saving money.

“It would help a lot if my heating bill wasn’t as bad as everyone is saying it was last year,” Cedeno said. “I have other things I need to pay for so saving every little bit helps.” lmdoyle@syr.edu

SU’s synchronized skating team fundraises for winter competition

By Alexa Diaz contributing writer

When Marisha Schwab first joined Orange Experience, it consisted of only one member, but needed eight to compete.

Now, the synchronized skating team — with Schwab as its president and captain — has 11 members and is preparing to compete at the 24th Annual Skaneateles Figure Skating Competition in December.

Senior poses for Playboy’s ‘Girls of the ACC,’ fundraises for trip to LA

hen she was in high school, Ali Baron fell in love with the reality show “The Girls Next Door,” which followed the extravagant lives of Hugh Hefner’s three girlfriends.

“I used to watch it all the time and I had the posters and the DVDs and I had the necklaces,” said Baron, a senior sociology major and Syracuse native. “I kind of grew out of that phase a little bit, but it was something that I was always really interested in and I always followed it.”

Baron, who is currently taking the semester off, was chosen to represent Syracuse University in the October 2014 edition of Playboy Magazine. Now she’s been invited to the Playboy Mansion Halloween Party and has the opportunity to follow in the Bunnies’ footsteps.

Last semester, Baron’s friend told her that Playboy was looking for students interested in modeling. A couple months later, when Baron walked into Faegan’s Café and Pub, There is a lot of work two Playboy recruiters pulled her aside withbehind the whole thing, in minutes of arriving at the restaurant. with the lights and “I wasn’t sure what was going on, and cameras and wardrobe, it happened really quickly. They were just like, ‘Would you be interested in being in the hair and the makeup. I Playboy?’ and I was like, ‘Yeah,’” said Baron. had never modeled before That night Baron said she immediately so it was super cool, but called her friends first. Brittany Bunde started crying and screaming out of happiness they put a lot of work after getting the call about Baron’s news. in to get those shots.

“She said I was one of the first people she called because I would actually be happy for Ali Baron her,” Bunde said. “This is something she’s senior sociology major been wanting to do. It makes her happy, so why not do it?”

Baron also called her friend Danielle Caloia, who said she was surprised when Baron told her about the Playboy opportunity.

“When she called me I thought it was going to be bad,” Caloia said.

“But then she ended up telling me, and I was absolutely ecstatic for her, but my initial response was making sure it was all legitimate.”

The morning after hearing the news Caloia researched the contact information of the recruiters Baron had met and validated that they were from Playboy, she said. Baron set up her photo shoot that morning.

Baron said that the reaction from her friends was all positive and supportive. Her parents, who she called last, were not as excited, but still supported her anyway.

Coming to college and skating to Beyoncé is so much fun. A four-hour practice is so hard, but once they put on the music we get really pumped up.

Once the shoot was set up, Baron didn’t really know what to expect. With no prior modeling experience, she made sure she brought a friend to the shoot so she wouldn’t be caught off guard.

But when she got to the shoot, Baron soon noticed how professional the experience was and how friendly the staff members were.

“There is a lot of work behind the whole thing, with the lights and cameras and wardrobe, the hair and the makeup,” Baron said. “I had never modeled before so it was super cool, but they put a lot of work in to get those shots.”

During the shoot Baron took both nude and non-nude photos, both of which have been published both online and in Playboy Magazine.

“I hope that I represented the school well, and I hope more people like it than didn’t,” Baron said.

As for Baron, she has said that since the magazine’s publication she has received a lot of attention, mainly online in the form of tweets or comments on articles written about her.

Not all of the attention has been positive, but despite some of the negative judgments and harsh words, her friends say that Baron is taking the new attention in stride.

And Baron’s days working with Playboy may not be over. She was see playboy page 10

“I came here to Syracuse because I knew there was a skating program, but there wasn’t a huge program for synchronized skating,” the junior biochemistry and forensics science major said. “I am very proud to see that the team and the collegiate synchronized skating program is growing here.”

Synchronized skating is judged similarly to figure skating, but with up to 16 skaters on the ice, teammates have to be completely in sync. To prepare for the competition, members practice three times a week and fund gear and traveling expenses on their own.

To make this possible, each member pays dues at the beginning of the season and works together to raise the rest of the expenses. In the past two weeks, the Orange Experience see skating page 10

Physical features, areas of residence determine place in Chilean class system

A

naked man stood proudly with a zigzagged rainbow painted on his legs. Other painted people — with and without clothes — filled the beach for the Mil Tambores carnival in Valparaíso, Chile. Drum circles started sporadically with the eclectic crowd dancing along.

The naked man and his friends were painting each other on the beach. They circled a banner in the sand that translated to “races of colors.” This made perfect sense when my friend and I were at the festival. In a conversation after we came home, we realized that the phrase didn’t quite work, at least not for Chile.

Chile has, more or less, a homogenous population. Nearly everyone has dark hair, brown eyes and olive-toned skin. However, discrimination called classism is enrooted in Chilean society. Lighter hair and skin indicate a higher class while darker features signify a lower status. This subtle difference in skin tone separates the society into different classes.

Those differing from the appearance of the average Chileans — blonde-haired people or

those of Asian or African decent — stick out.

Even though blonde people are not that common here, lighter hair and eyes are perceived as more beautiful than the prevalent brown features. Nearly all the women in advertisements are blonde-haired and blue-eyed.

Some perceive indigenous features, such as darker skin, as less beautiful. Last names of indigenous origins are seen as lesser than last names from Spain.

This all had to be explained to me when I first arrived because, as a foreigner, this class system is based on few differences.

But some markers of class are not so subtle.

Chile has the greatest difference of income inequality between classes according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a forum of 34 countries with

strong economies. A large middle class like in the United States doesn’t exist here.

Also, rigid classes don’t mix much in comparison to life in the U.S. Where someone lives marks which side of society they’re on.

My host sister said that there are two Santiago’s — the rich side and the poor side. Each municipality’s distinct reputation for wealth, or the lack thereof, feels more extreme than the segregation found in U.S. cities.

The closer a house is to the mountains, the higher its class status, and the highest class status live in the hills of the Andes Mountains.

The residents of one of the most elite municipalities, Vitacura, opposed the building of a metro line through the municipality a few years ago. According to my program director, the residents thought a metro would bring in less affluent people and ruin the ambiance of the neighborhood.

This reminded me of a story my mom told me about my hometown of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The Walnut Street Bridge connected the city with the suburbs across the

Susquehanna River until it broke in two after a blizzard in January of 1996. This river acts as a racial barrier in my hometown.

My mom told me that the residents of the West Shore — nicknamed the “White Shore” — didn’t want this walking bridge rebuilt because they didn’t like that minorities from the city could walk to the suburbs.

Whether it’s called racism or classism, these problems persist in all societies. As a foreigner, the discrimination among classes seems so absurd. When you flip that around to look at the U.S., our system of discrimination based on races is just as horrible.

Maybe we could all take a lesson from the relaxed carnival-goers I met in Valparaíso.

Stripped down to the skin, we’re just human.

But I think we should still opt to wear clothes.

Members of Orange Experience, SU’s synchronized skating team, practice their routine for a competition in Skaneateles in December. courtesy of delia ricker from page 9

skating skaters fundraised $1,050 of their $2,000 goal through a GoFundMe campaign.

Orange Experience will also compete in the 2015 Eastern Synchronized Skating Sectional Championships and the 2015 Empire State Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York.

“Right now we are in the choreography stage of putting the program together,” coach Lisa Mirabito said. “Then we will go back through and talk about what it takes to make it a better program to be competitive, the arms, bodies and heads, and all of these other things that will prepare them both physically and mentally.”

Mirabito, who began coaching the team in 2008, said practice, drills and team building are essential to competition preparation because the team is comprised of 11 skaters from diverse backgrounds coming together to compete.

When coordinating their routine for Skaneateles, the Orange Experience skaters pitched ideas for music to Mirabito until she approved a Beyoncé mix of “Halo,” “Crazy In Love” and “Love On Top.” Although the choreography is mainly in the coach’s hands, the end result is a joint collaboration with the skaters in order to create

the smoothest routine possible.

Liz Sprout, a first-year member of the team, said the music engages the skaters in their performance during a competition.

“Coming to college and skating to Beyoncé is so much fun. A four-hour practice is so hard, but once they put on the music we get really pumped up,” said Sprout, a sophomore broadcast and digital journalism and international relations double major. “It is definitely going to affect the way we perform — it’s going to make us more into the program and more excited about the performance.”

Mirabito and Schwab agree that the Orange Experience brings a certain passion to competitions that other teams may not have. The SU members have to fund their own expenses and have to want to attend practices each time they hit the ice.

Schwab said this passion has been a driving force in the team’s development, as she has seen the group grow from one performer to a full team. As someone who has been with Orange Experience for years, Schwab said it has been one of the greatest parts of her college experience.

Said Schwab: “To be able to share my skating passion with other girls and giving girls the opportunity to skate in college — it’s a great feeling.” adiaz02@syr.edu

recently invited to the Playboy Mansion for the organization’s annual Halloween party on October 25.

Baron said that attending the event would be an incredible opportunity, and to do so she set up a campaign on GoFundMe, called “Ali B goes to L.A.,” which as of Monday night, raised $340 toward a goal of $1,200.

“I was really interested in going out there.

I’ve never been to Los Angeles and I thought if I could get out there just to meet people and network that would be awesome and it would just be a great experience overall,” Baron said.

Baron said that if everything goes well in Los Angeles, she still does not know whether she will return to SU. But she does plan to get her degree eventually.

Although she is unsure about her future at SU, Baron said she knows one thing is for certain — if she gets more opportunities at Playboy, she will take them.

ory Tarallo wants to go out with a bang.

As a senior acting major, Tarallo wants to showcase his talents in a public performance before he leaves Syracuse. He said most acting students fulfill this tradition by performing in cabarets or monologue shows.

In an effort to step out of his comfort zone, Tarallo has decided to display his talents through a concert featuring several pop-rock hits and acoustic performances. The concert, called “Top Secret,” takes place on Friday, Oct. 10, at Funk ’n Waffles.

“My favorite part of performing is singing,” Tarallo said. “I sing, I act and I dance, and nothing really brings me as much joy as singing, especially when it’s music that I’m passionate about.”

Tarallo has rehearsed with an accompanying band and background singers for the last month and will perform songs he believes the

audience will be able to dance to.

“I will be doing songs like ‘Chandelier’ and ‘Bang Bang,’ which are more contemporary,” Tarallo said. “People are really jamming to (them) right now.”

Tarallo said the process of organizing his concert has been stressful, but his love of performing has made his efforts worth it. He coordinated the concert himself and said making his own decisions further motivated him to continue planning his show.

“Something I realize is that no one is going to make something happen for you,” Tarallo said. “If you want something to get done, you have to make it happen yourself.”

Tarallo said he views “Top Secret” as a showcase of the work he’s done while at SU. “It’s been really great to be a part of the music and performing and artistic community (at SU) for so many reasons,” Tarallo said. “I mean, self-expression is something that I value very much, and to see how other people do that

and to be able to do that yourself and to see how different it can be for every person, it’s just something that fascinates me.”

In addition to self-expression, Tarallo said he looks forward to his performance simply because he loves to entertain. He hopes his performance will provide an outlet for the audience to escape their daily lives and to relax.

Tarallo is also a member of the all-male SU a cappella group, Otto Tunes. The group, including Tarallo, will be the opening act of Tarallo’s show.

Fellow Otto Tunes member Alex Russell Ganes, a senior music composition major, said Tarallo’s vocal range and personality define his performances.

“He hits really, really, high notes, but also he’s just a great singer, and that trumps everything,” Ganes said. “He’s charismatic. Very outgoing, very friendly. I think that will translate well.”

Ganes will play the bass at Tarallo’s performance. Two guitarists, a keyboardist, a

drummer and three backing vocalists will also accompany Tarallo.

Bryana Greer, a sophomore psychology major, said her experience rehearsing with Tarallo was positive because of his talent and creativity.

“He really makes the songs his own, and he’s really fun to listen to because he has this really out of this world voice that makes anything sound good,” Greer said.

Tarallo’s high singing voice, which he said is not like most male voices, brings him the most satisfaction while singing and performing. His favorite part about his vocal skills is his ability to “screlt,” which is a screamed belt.

As a seasoned entertainer, Tarallo said he puts more emphasis on the audience than himself. However, he added that he has one request for his audience.

“If you’re going to come, make sure that you have a great time and dance,” Tarallo said. “I just want people to have a good time and have fun.” idamle@syr.edu

LB commits not bothered by defections

By Sam Blum asst. copy editor

Class of 2015 linebackers Doyle Grimes and Daiquan Kelly decommitted from Syracuse in September and in doing so, shaved a four-person contingent at the position to two-person group.

But when one of the remaining linebackers, Troy Henderson, was asked about what it meant for the incoming class, he was taken aback.

“Who decommitted?” Henderson asked.

“I didn’t even know anybody decommitted.”

Henderson and SU’s other linebacker commit, Shy Cullen, said the recently thinned-out class of players isn’t a concern. Grimes left the commit pool on Sept.

sanctions lifted.

Henderson, from St. Edward (Ohio) High School, said it was Syracuse linebackers coach Clark Lea that gave him confidence in the program. For Cullen, of Lowell (Massachusetts) High School, it was defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough. And that confidence hasn’t wavered.

Who’s coming in and who’s going out isn’t a point of contention, they said. Though members of the Orange’s recruiting class claim to be close, Henderson and Cullen are more focused on just playing, not the changes around them.

“Even if those two guys were to stay,” Cullen said, “I feel like I would have worked as hard as I can just to get the starting job for Syracuse.”

SU is currently recruiting six middle linebackers and 11 outside linebackers in the Class of 2015, according to Scout.com, but the overall class has had only one player verbally commit since July 15 and none since Aug. 25.

“I do feel that it could boost my chances,” said 2015 linebacker recruit Kevin Robinson, an outside linebacker from Montclair, New Jersey, who has yet to receive a formal offer. “And Syracuse is currently my No. 1.” sblum@syr.edu @SamBlum3

Levert looks to improve blocking, inflict damage on court

By Jack Rose staff writer

Freshman Leah Levert wants to puncture the court.

“I don’t care if no one’s ever done it before, I’m going to do it. Sorry,” she said.

The middle blocker’s goal for the season is simple: crush the ball.

In her first collegiate season, Levert is already making a difference for Syracuse (7-9, 0-4 Atlantic Coast), starting 13 matches and recording 67 blocks, good for sixth in the ACC. Despite her

youth, Levert’s personality makes her a leader on and off the court. She keeps her teammates laughing and confident while she strives to improve her swing blocking, footwork and timing.

Energy is often one of the first words used to describe Levert, and she considers her constant effort her best trait on the court. Del Hughes — the head coach of the Atlanta Boom, Levert’s high school club team — said she always gave the most energy on a team that was known for it.

“She came to us and had to learn a lot about footwork and hand positioning in blocking but once she got it down, she led us to be one of the best teams in the country in blocking,” he said.

Senior middle blocker Lindsay McCabe told Levert she sometimes overjumps into the net and out of position. Levert also said she jams her fingers blocking and needs to persist through pain better.

Even though blocking is Levert’s best skill, she’s focusing on improving, particularly swing blocking — a technique used when a player is late to the play and needs extra momentum to get high enough for the block.

“It’s kind of building torque, building momen-

tum to jump higher and get to a block faster,” Levert said of swing blocking.

Levert said swing blocking is hard because it’s counter-intuitive. She is trying to pull herself up without anything to physically hold onto. But

Nanco’s first goal of this season, which came in Syracuse’s season-opening victory over Niagara on Aug. 29, was similar to his tally against St. John’s.

With SU leading 1-0, Nanco entered the top left of the 18-yard box with a full head of steam and took two quick touches to get around Purple Eagles defender Roberto Fernandez-Andersson, and two more touches to set up a shot that beat goalkeeper Joel Gerberich.

“With Chris, it’s about having another gear,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “But it’s not just speed. It’s about taking a chance and knowing when to hit the channels … Chris has that ability to really make life difficult for opposing defenders.”

After both of his goals this season, Nanco has made a sprint toward the left corner of the field — a spot on the field Nanco says feels natural for him to create from. After the goal against St. John’s, Nanco ran to the left corner with his arms held wide like a jet plane and after the Niagara goal he busted out a Super Mario-like jump move.

“I try to get in certain spots and receive the ball.

“As the game goes on, guys get tired, especially with the guys we have and the depth coming off the bench, I get to rest and come back with fresh legs,” Nanco said.

In two, three weeks, she’s going to say how in love she is with hitting.

Leonid Yelin su head coach

unlike footwork, she thinks the concept of swing blocking is simple enough.

When asked what footwork she is trying to achieve, Levert stood up and ran over to an imaginary court a few feet away. Once she was in position, she found the virtual ball on the other side of the court and shuffled her feet — “right, left-right, up”— to get into position for the block.

“In two, three weeks, she’s going to say how

in love she is with hitting,” SU head coach Leonid Yelin said.

SU setter Alyssa Anderson, a close friend and former Atlanta Boom teammate of Levert’s, called Levert a perfectionist.

“She critiques herself very well and what I like is that I’ve always been able to help her with that,” Anderson said. “She’ll get down on herself and I’ll just give her a look that say, ‘You’ve got this,’ and she’ll be ready for the next play.”

When they played club together, Levert was called “Sexy Beast,” Hughes said, a nickname given to her by Hughes’ daughter to inspire confidence in the then-timid Levert.

Now, confidence abounds. Anderson said Levert celebrates the most after a kill, circling the court, the way her teammates want. And Levert genuinely believes that one will break the court some day. If not this season, soon after.

Said Levert: “I believe I can be better, to do my best and even if my best isn’t where I should be, that’s alright.

“I just keep believing I will get there.” jlrose@syr.edu

Mac always talks about getting into goal-scoring opportunities,” Nanco said. “I just try to get into the box because I know the ball is going to end up there somehow.”

Last season, Nanco burst onto the scene, scoring four goals in the team’s first 11 games including the game-winner in a 2-1 victory over Duke. His chemistry with fellow freshman Alex Halis ignited the Orange in the early stages of the season. The duo started 17 of SU’s 18 games and combined for one-third of the team’s final goal total.

Although the spotlight has been on striker Emil Ekblom and freshman Julian Buescher so far this season, McIntyre said he expects more scoring from Nanco down the stretch.

And Nanco’s quietly on pace to exceed his statistics from last season. The forward has two goals and two assists through 10 games, and had four goals and one assist in 18 games last year.

“He’s creating a disturbance for the other team,” Ekblom said. “Sometimes they really don’t know how to handle it.” jmhyber@syr.edu

compare hand-sizes with his 6-foot-2 grandfather.

When the two pressed their palms together, Bono’s were always bigger.

“He had big feet, big hands, it was like, ‘Great, you’re going to grow into those and be tall,’” Kim Bono said. “… It’s kind of like when you buy a puppy and they have big paws, and you’re like ‘Oh my God, this is going to be a huge dog.’ He was always the big-boned boy.”

But it was also his size that forced him to focus on improving his natural quickness. Following his senior year at C.W. Baker (New York) High School in Baldwinsville, he started training three days a

week with Pete Rowley, a former SU and professional soccer player. It was with Rowley that Bono worked on his lateral movement and reaction time.

Rowley would take away Bono’s other abilities to hone in on one. Sometimes that meant forcing him to make saves from his knees to mimic an in-game situation where he’d have to make multiple back-to-back stops.

He’d make Bono make a save while turning around from facing the goal. The purpose was to heighten his neurological responses by taking away other senses, Rowley said.

To improve his lateral movement, Rowley would put him through resistance training.

He’d attach his legs to cords and force him to move side-to-side. Rowley tried to recreate him

defending breakaways by having him jump hurdles before making saves.

“Alex has all the innate abilities that you want in a goalkeeper,” Rowley said.

Bono’s experience, which extends past starting all but one game since coming to SU, has aided his development. In high school he played for Empire United of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy system. He was a member of the United States under-18 National Soccer Team player pool. After his freshman and sophomore seasons at Syracuse, he spent his summers playing for Reading United of the Premier Development League.

In the PDL he worked on his live-ball distribution to teammates. He worked on managing

the game, in terms of figuring out when his passing should be quick and when it should be slower and more deliberate.

“No matter what environment you’re in, it can become a little monotonous after a while, and that’s why I think the PDL is a valuable tool,” said Reading United head coach Brendan Burke. “…But it’s refreshing for a player or a coach to be in a different environment.”

Then there’s Bono’s mental makeup, adding the final dimension to his game. He prides himself on his communication skills, saying that there’s a tree of communication with the rest of the players on the field. He’s the stump.

Bono commands the Orange defense, telling

You’re not looking for an anxious goalkeeper. You want to be able to turn around and ultimately know that everything’s OK. Ian McIntyre su head coach

his teammates when to step and when to hold their line. They, in turn, communicate with the players on offense.

The best goalies are doing their job if the ball never comes their way, Bono said.

“He’s got a very calm demeanor, and I think that’s very important at that position,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “You’re not looking for an anxious goalkeeper. You want to be able to turn around and ultimately know that everything’s OK.” This season, in part, has been a celebration of Bono’s prowess. He has an uncompromising defense in front of him and just one shot that’s gotten past him.

Bono classifies himself as both orthodox and unorthodox. The orthodox part is his physical build that sets him up to dominate and the technical skills that ensure he does. The unorthodox part is when those technical skills don’t come in handy, when a play breaks down, he can still stop the ball.

“As far as his height and his quickness,” Rowley said. “There are very few goalkeepers in the country that can offer both.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

Lagerweij, Visser make transition from Netherlands to SU

By Hanna Horvath contributing writer

Lies Lagerweij and Lieke Visser were baffled by Americans’ use of peanut butter when they first arrived in the country.

“There is peanut butter on everything,” Visser said, laughing.

Lagerweij, a forward, and Visser, a midfielder, are two of the four freshmen on the Syracuse field hockey team hailing from foreign countries.

The two Netherlands natives have helped build a strong freshman class that SU head coach Ange Bradley called the most talented she’s had.

Bradley said both players have the build and talent of professional players — though Lagerweij hasn’t had much opportunity on the field yet due to an injury.

Despite having grown up thousands of miles

away, both players knew from a young age that they wanted to play in the states, specifically at SU. “This was my main goal. I never really considered anything else,” Visser said.

For these two players, the high caliber of both athletics and academics appealed to them. A lengthy recruiting process followed.

“I’ve been busy with (being recruited) for two years,” Lagerweij said. “It’s a great opportunity to combine playing and studying like this.”

Bradley first reached out to them by email and followed up over Skype.

Then Bradley and her assistant coach took the next step: boarding a flight to the Netherlands.

Though the program has welcomed many international players, Bradley said she and her staff don’t specifically search for recruits from across the Atlantic.

But for the past few years Bradley has grown

accustomed to international players taking a defining role on the team.

“We just look to try and get the best players we can, and where they come from, that’s where they come from,” Bradley said. “One of the strengths of SU hockey is that we are diverse.

“From my staff to our players, it makes us one family, the Syracuse family. Syracuse is bigger than all of us.”

SU assistant coach Tara Zollinger said international players are often considered “hidden gems” by recruiters, going unnoticed by other schools.

But one issue that many coaches, including Bradley, run into when recruiting outside of the U.S. is having to deal with different styles of play.

In the Netherlands, Bradley said, the athletes start playing at a younger age and practice two to three times a week with one game per weekend.

But athletes in the Netherlands maintain this

type of schedule throughout the whole year.

The mentality is different than what Visser and Lagerweij are used, but they haven’t had to adapt much in style of play.

“The systems are different, but they are overlapping,” Visser said. “My team back home played basically the same.”

While to U.S. portion sizes, each player has the occasional struggles with understanding American behavior.

“Everyone says, ‘Hey, how are you?’ and then just walks away,” Lagerweij said.

In the Netherlands, greetings are a more structured ordeal.

But the difficulties are made easier by the fact that they have each other.

Said Lagerweij with a smile: “I can say Leike is one of my best friends here.” hrhorvat@syr.edu

Lester replaces McDonald

By Jacob Klinger asst. sports editor

ALEX BONO has led Syracuse to nine shutouts in its first 10 games, the best start in program history. The junior goalkeeper has used a mixture of his size, experience and mentality to become statistically the best in the nation at his position. bridget williams staff photographer

If Alex Bono wasn’t born to play goalkeeper, the junior has certainly grown into and refined himself as one of the nation’s best for Syracuse

lex Bono always wanted to stop the ball.

When he was 3 years old, he’d set up a net in his kitchen and pretend to be a hockey goalie. When he played Little League baseball, he only wanted to play catcher. And when he started playing soccer in first grade, there was only one position he would play.

“Goalies kind of have to have a little intuition to them, it’s not something that can be taught,” said his mother, Kim Bono. “It has to be something you just sense. I just think he just had a great sense of the game.

“He always enjoyed being that person to block the shot.”

He is built to block that shot.

Bono’s 6-foot-3, 195-pound frame, quick reflexes and feet make him the consummate keeper in size and skill.

Layer in his level-headed mentality,

experience and ability to communicate and Syracuse gets the nation’s top collegiate goalie, as far as numbers can see.

He captains the defense, leading No. 9 Syracuse (9-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast) to its best start in program history.

Out of the 41 shots that have come his way this season, he’s saved 40. In the 10 games Syracuse has played, nine have been shutouts.

“It’s not my job to do the classifying of the type of goalie that I am,” Bono said. “I’ll leave that up to the other peo-

ple and I’ll just try and shape the classification that they put me in.”

Bono jokes around with his teammates that he’d like to be a few inches taller. Being one of three 6-foot-3 players on the team, those complaints often fall on deaf ears. Bono said goalies can be anywhere between 5-foot-5 and 7 feet, and claims to be average in height.

But Bono has more than height. His wingspan is 76 inches. His hands are 8 1/2 inches tall. When he was a boy, he’d see bono page 15

Nanco looks to utilize speed as SU faces Albany

By Josh Hyber staff writer

Chris Nanco’s goal against St. John’s on Sept. 6 was a quintessential Chris Nanco goal.

In four seconds, Nanco went from trailing Red Storm defender Simon Tchoukriel by 5 yards to being two steps ahead of the defender with the ball at his feet after a pass from Emil Ekblom.

After Tchoukriel fell to the ground, Nanco slid a precise shot into the b o t up next tom-rig ht corner of VS Albany @ SU Soccer Stadium the net to Tuesday, 7 p.m. give the Orange a 1-0 lead.

“I’ve always been the player running around the field, no matter what

position,” said Nanco, an SU forward. “The speed runs in my family.

All my brothers are fast. My sister’s fast … It’s been natural to me. ” Nanco will look to utilize his quickness when the No. 9 Orange (9-1-0, 3-1 Atlantic Coast) takes on Albany (3-3-5, 1-0 America East) at SU Soccer Stadium at 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Since he arrived at Syracuse last year, Nanco’s speed has been one of the most prev-

alent characteristics of any SU player.

With an assist on Ekblom’s game-winning goal to beat Virginia Tech on Saturday in double overtime, Nanco recorded his sixth point of the year, tied for second on the team, and his first since Sept. 16.

Nanco flicked an Oyvind Alseth cross onto the head of Ekblom, who redirected it into the net to beat the Hokies see nanco page 14

Syracuse quarterbacks coach Tim Lester has taken over as offensive coordinator for the SU football team and offensive coordinator and associate head coach George McDonald is demoted to wide r e c ei v er s c o a c h , according to an SU A t h le t ic s release TIM LESTER published Monday morning.

“I’ve made the decision to change roles to use our staff’s GEORGE talents MCDONALD together more effectively. Coach Tim Lester will call the plays and coordinate the offense moving forward,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said in the release. “He, George and the offensive staff will continue to work alongside one another striving to improve our offense together.”

The SU offense under McDonald has scored three touchdowns in the past three games — all losses. After SU’s 28-6 loss to Louisville on Friday night, McDonald took full responsibility for the struggles.

Both McDonald and Lester joined Shafer’s staff in 2013 when then-defensive coordinator Shafer, took over for Doug Marrone. Lester was the quarterbacks coach at Western Michigan from 2005–06, when Shafer was the defensive coordinator for and McDonald was the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach at WMU. Pete Roussel of 247sports.com first reported the news Sunday night, anonymously, and The Post-Standard’s Stephen Bailey confirmed the story Monday morning. jmklinge@syr.edu | @Jacob_ Klinger_
