MONEY TALKS Officials discuss city issues as Miner, Cuomo disagree over funding By Jake Cappuccino asst. copy editor

yracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner wants the New York state government’s money and she won’t take no for an answer. Over the past few months, Miner has pestered Gov. Andrew Cuomo for state funds. In Miner’s Syracuse Billion proposal, submitted in late 2014, Miner requested $726 million to fix Syracuse’s aging water mains, which have already broken 100 times in 2015. It took until Feb. 4 for Cuomo to for-

mally say no, but in a visit to the Syracuse Media Group, Cuomo did just that and offered a different approach. “Show us how you become economically stronger and create jobs,” he said. “Then you fix your own pipes.” The debate between city and state, public and private, and Miner and Cuomo re-intensified after Miner and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio released a statement alleging that the state is underfunding public schools. Community leaders weighed in on the ongoing debate, though neither the governor nor the mayor

could be reached for comment. Common Councilor Kathleen Joy sees both sides of the argument, but doesn’t understand why Miner won’t incorporate more of Cuomo’s ideas into her repair plans instead of asking again

and again for additional funding. Joy said that she agreed to a greater extent with the governor than with the mayor since Joy sees the lack of opportunity for prosperity as a

he said, she said

Cuomo: “Show us how you become economically stronger and create jobs then you fix your own pipes.”

Both Cuomo and Miner had a lot to say about Syracuse’s aging water mains. In a press conference with Syracuse Media Group in February, Cuomo challenged the city to fix its own problems by developing its economy. Not willing to accept that, two days later, Miner had something to say in response.

Miner: “We didn’t pay for the water mains and the 120-year-old infrastructure from Skaneateles (Lake) ourselves...(The state) should help pay for our water mains.”

Sound archivist works to preserve recordings By Momin Rafi design editor

Patrick Midtlyng’s grandparents, parents and 3-year-old son all own an LP record player. He said his family has a strong appreciation for vinyl records. But audio preservation didn’t strike him as a profession until he worked as a research assistant at the University of Chicago. He now works as a sound archivist at the Syracuse University Belfer Audio Archive. Midtlyng was working toward his Ph.D. in linguistics while employed at a field recordings laboratory and worked with anthropologists and sociologists who documented languages nearing extinction in Latin and South America. “I was working on the transfer of those and the descriptions of them so that the work that was done from the 1930s to the 1980s would not be lost, and the sounds of the languages would at least be preserved that way,” he said. Midtlyng began working at the Belfer Audio Archive in 2011. The archive boasts one of the largest collections of audio equipment in the country with recordings, records and equipment spanning from 1890 to 1970. Midtlyng procures audio requested from the archive, maintains the upkeep

By Sara Swann asst. news editor

The city of Syracuse was named one of the worst cities in the United States to rent in due to its low income and increasing renting costs, according to a report from the National Association of Realtors. Syracuse has experienced a 12 percent increase in rent since 2009, which is the second largest percentage of the eight cities listed in the article. In addition, Syracuse has only seen a 7 percent increase in income since 2009, according to the report, which was released Monday. Don Dutkowsky, an economics professor in the Maxwell School of

Citizenship and Public Affairs, said that it’s hard to argue with the data in the article, but it’s no secret the city of Syracuse has been experiencing economic difficulties since the recession. Dutkowsky said that he found the high rental prices surprising, but he believes there are two main reasons why renting prices are so bad in Syracuse. “First, there’s been a phenomenon of people moving downtown since the latter part of the last decade. These people are buying well-todo, if not luxury apartments in the downtown area almost faster than they can be built,” Dutkowsky said. “So this is pushing rental rates up because so many people are moving

downtown and out of the suburbs.” The second reason behind higher rental prices, Dutkowsky said, is because of the increased influx of Syracuse University students. “Syracuse University students are only going to stay on campus for a short amount of time then they will most likely rent,” Dutkowsky said. “Graduate students will also tend to rent apartments or houses instead of staying in dorms on campus.” Dutkowsky said the data found in the article is not going to stop people from renting in the city of Syracuse, saying he believes that people can still find affordable housing to rent. Yildiray Yildirim, a professor of finance and the Michael Falcone

chair in real estate in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, said in an email that the national rent index has increased about 14 percent between November 2010 and January 2015, according to the Zillow Rent Index, an online real estate database. While rent has increased in Syracuse over the last five years, Yildirim said it tends to move up and down. “Syracuse’s rent index fluctuates within a range, while the national rent index is always in an upwards trend,” Yildirim said. “This may tell us, rents are stable in the Syracuse market for now while the rents nationally are increasing.” smswann@syr.edu @saramswann

Two Syracuse University students will run for Student Association president and vice president as write-in candidates, creating some competition in this April’s election. AJ Abell, a junior broadcast and digital journalism major, and Jonathan Dawson, a junior biology major, are running for SA president and vice president, respectively. Since they did not turn in a petition before the Feb. 20 deadline, Abell and Dawson will not appear on the ballot. Instead, they will run as write-in candidates, something Abell said will be a challenge. “Obviously it’s going to be a lot more difficult because, first, people have to spell my name right,” he said. see sa page 8

Apple Watch kicks off beginning of wearables

s it did in 2007 with the iPhone, Apple is hoping to reign over the next era of tech innovation with the Apple Watch.

AARICK KNIGHTON

AN URBAN LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY The long awaited wearable tech breakthrough was officially unveiled at the Apple’s March 9 event in San Francisco. The watch will hit retailers on April 24 and the prices will start at $349 for the Sport version and go up to $17,000 for the 18-Karat Rose Gold edition. The event provided tech enthusiasts plenty of fuel for debate on the future success of the product. Some are skeptical that while the watch is stylish and has a few cool tricks, it remains simply an expensive extension to the iPhone and lacks that unique, “must-have” feature. Wearable tech is still a foreign concept to most people and overtaking a new product category doesn’t happen overnight. Apple may not have it all figured out with its first release, but the watch is still in its infant stages and provides developers with a platform to get creative. Think back to 2007 and the launch of the iPhone. The combination of an iPod and cell phone was a mind-blowing concept and consumers really had no idea what was to come. Apps like Instagram, Snapchat and Uber, which can be found on the majority of iPhones today, weren’t even thought of yet. The same ecosystem of apps and features can be created for the Apple Watch, but obviously the watch has to come first. Critics argue that the product lacks features that make it useful without the iPhone nearby, however, there are a few new innovative additions

that make the new technology attractive. Apple Watch gives users personal ways to connect with friends by sharing your heartbeat, quick sketches or a light tap on the wrist to let them know you’re thinking about them. You can also respond to messages via voice command, answer phone calls and quickly share your location. It’s health and fitness features as well as the eventual integration of Apple Pay should be enough to attract curious consumers in the early stages. Critics also deemed the iPad a bigger version of the iPhone with no unique uses. Apple’s history of pioneering new product lines proves that you shouldn’t underestimate the power of the brand. The design of the watch is clean and Apple will offer multiple bands and faces to customize fit your preference. Apple products and wrist watches in general are often seen as status symbols so the two could be a perfect match. And this first version of the Apple Watch will likely sell well in the luxury tech category for wealthy Apple lovers. We could look back at the introduction of the Apple Watch as the point in history when smartwatches became widely adopted. This version is essentially the prototype and may look nothing like the Apple Watch we know of in five years. Rome wasn’t built in a day and Apple is laying the groundwork for developers around the world to try their hand at becoming the first wearable startup to really produce that missing piece.

New York must pay its debt to schools It’s time New York state gives local schools the money it owes them. Earlier this month, Mayor Stephanie Miner and New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to pay back the $5.8 billion dollars the state owes schools. In 2006, the Campaign for Fiscal Equity sued New York state for providing inadequate funding for its students. The New York State Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the CFS and said the state was violating it’s students rights to a “sound and basic education.” To comply with this ruling in 2007, the state committed to provide $5.5 billion in Foundation Aid, which would be paid out by 2011. As of August 2014, $4.9 billion of that money had yet to be paid out. Syracuse is owed $87.1 million of that funding, based on the original commitment, and it needs that money now. The Common Core State Standard,

a legislation that set new requirements for public schools, has increased the cost of education in the past several years. However, the city still receives the same amount of money from the state as it did in 2008–09. As a result, the city’s school budget is being filled by $25 million from its savings. This pattern cannot continue. The funds are already overdue, and the longer this capital is withheld from schools the worse the problem becomes. As more students enter the public school system, there are more students cycled through below-standard classrooms. For the past several years the graduation rate for the Syracuse City School District has consistently hovered around 50 percent. There are obvious failings in the education system, and Syracuse has plans to allocate the $87.1 million to address those needs. The city is pursu-

scribble

ing longer school days, creating more position for teachers and improving science, education, engineering and math education for students. But without proper funding the city cannot actualize these goals. In a response to Miner and DeBlasio’s letter, Cuomo pointed out that New York, “spend(s) more per pupil than any other state in the nation, yet our students remain in the bottom half when it comes to results.” Cuomo has also put forth his own education reform, which puts pressure on teachers and advocates for state-run charter schools. Instead of building new schools, Cuomo should invest in the teachers and schools that are already present. The Syracuse City School District is in desperate need of reform. But rather than Cuomo withholding funds and forcing his own proposal on schools, he should pay up.

Clinton email scandal speaks to larger problem within government

ver the past few weeks, the American public has heard little but news regarding Hillary Clinton’s usage of a non-government authorized email account for official business. Audiences are watching the scandal unfold as more details become available. Saturday, it was revealed that a close aide to President Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, was responsible for leaking the email situation. To some, the email controversy is just the Republican Party looking for distractions within Clinton’s potential presidential campaign. However, that is not the case. This scandal speaks to more than just Clinton’s violation of protocol; it speaks to the lack of transparency and communication within our government.

I’M ALWAYS RIGHT emails through the media. The fact that the president was not aware of a cabinet member blatantly breaching protocol is astonishing. The public likes to think of the president and his cabinet as a tight-knit group of people that works together to protect our country. This revelation disproves the utopian ideal held by many. That doesn’t mean that the president is solely at fault here. I mean, what are the chances of Obama checking his own email? As president, he wears many hats, so it’s understandable that he can’t see everything going on. But it’s assumed that cabinet members talk to one another. Asst. News Editor Sara Swann Asst.

Clinton isn’t just the former secretary of state: she has turned into a pop culture icon. As the cool kid of the cabinet, I guess it’s safe to say Clinton was taking selfies, shopping for pant suits and doing nothing to stop the Benghazi attacks all on her personal BlackBerry. Regardless of her popularity, she isn’t exempt from following the rules. This isn’t the first time a political figure has been in a similar situation. Former vice presidential candidate and Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin was in this predicament when in 2008 it was discovered that she was using two email accounts to conduct official business. When the Clinton scandal broke, she had a few words for her. “An honest politician has nothing to fear from the public seeing her emails,” said Palin in her op-ed on FoxNews. com. Palin is absolutely correct. Clin-

ton should have responded in a more prompt and clear manner to avoid such backlash and to fast-track the process of releasing her emails. There are stark differences between Palin and Clinton’s email controversies: Palin swiftly complied with the Freedom of Information Act requests to make her emails public. Clinton, on the other hand, is taking her time. In addition to that, Clinton’s email address is hosted on a private server, which she controls. This is where the problem lies — there is no way to be certain of what Mrs. Clinton was doing as secretary of state. Like Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a president and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.” If the American people want

to see Hillary Clinton’s emails, then they have every right to. The American people have the right to know what our government leaders are doing, but unfortunately, much of their business is done behind closed doors. Our leaders don’t communicate their decisions to the public, which is becoming a serious problem. Transparency and communication must be improved upon, otherwise more problems within the government will occur. When leaders of our nation don’t comply with the rules they’re hired to uphold, they break the trust that the American people put in them. Once that trust is broken, it takes years to repair.

Military Times ranks business school second-best for vets By Rachel Sandler staff writer

The Military Times ranked Syracuse University’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management as the second best business school in the country for veterans. The rankings, which were published by the Military Times last week, were determined through surveys completed by veterans as well as statistics from the U.S. Department of Education. The survey asked questions relating to university culture, student support, academic outcomes and quality, academic policies and cost. Only the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s College of Business Administration ranked higher. At Syracuse, 538 veterans were enrolled at from page 1

funding greater threat than aging infrastructure. “Overall, we need to embrace creating jobs and having an opportunity so if you have a job, (you can) get a better job,” Joy said. “It’s sustaining jobs so people come here and stay here.” She added that she thought there were a number of instances where the mayor’s administration had turned away economic opportunities. Common Council President Van Robinson said he thinks that one way or the other, the city will require some state assistance. The infrastructure problems and the economic problems go hand in hand, he said, so a solution

Whitman at the beginning of the fall 2014 semester, according to the rankings from the Military Times. Most of these students are enrolled in an MBA program, either on campus or online. “Historically, Whitman’s full-time MBA and online MBA programs are the most popular with veterans,” said Amy McHale, assistant dean for master’s programs at Whitman. In January 2015, Whitman launched a new online MBA program, MBA@Syracuse, which has seen a large amount of veteran enrollment. Nearly 25 percent of all students participating in the program are veterans, said McHale. Whitman is the only school in the Military Times’s top five that offers an online MBA program at all. “Our new program provides flexibility for

military and veteran students, with only three weekend-long themed residencies required over the course of their studies,” McHale added. “Our previous online program, the iMBA, required students to come to campus at the start of each semester.” When designing MBA@Syracuse, Whitman faculty intended the new residency format to be attractive to veterans, McHale said. Whitman also offers an accelerated MBA program specifically for veterans, which can be completed within 14 months. “Veterans come to us as nontraditional students, meaning that they are likely to be older than your average SU student, and some will even come to us with families,” said Mike Haynie, vice chancellor for veterans and military affairs at SU.

In addition to flexible academic programming, Syracuse has a historic culture of inclusiveness that accepts veterans. That culture, Haynie said, starts with campus leadership, namely Chancellor Kent Syverud. Syverud committed to making Syracuse the best school for veterans in his inaugural address last spring, which emphasized the importance of veterans’ issues on campus. “Syracuse’s long-standing leadership commitment, in both words and actions, has created a veteran friendly culture,” Haynie said. Without a campus culture that accommodates veterans, research suggests that veteran students fear they will not be welcomed on campus by faculty and staff, Haynie added.

will have to involve both camps. He said he thinks that the city can use economic development to help to fix the infrastructure. One way, he said, would be to have developers fix infrastructure as they go. “You identify the worst (infrastructure problems) then you use whatever means available to attempt to get the money to repair them,” Robinson said. Common Councilor Khalid Bey also thought that some kind of hybrid approach would work best for the city. He and the governor both thought Miner’s Syracuse Billion proposal was lacking in job development and creation, and for Bey, the biggest problem facing the city is unemployment. “You’ve got to invest in people and people

thereby pay back into the system and the system could possibly have some long term sustainability,” Bey said. “We don’t need quick fixes anymore. “Maybe that’s the governor’s position — ‘We bail you out but you still can’t pay for it yourself, you’ll only come back tomorrow.’ I get that argument. So it has to be a simultaneous effort.” Though he would’ve liked to see more job training and workforce development training in Miner’s proposal, Bey did support the mayor’s request that the state fulfill its money promise to the schools. New York state promised funding to public schools. It did not meet its obligation so the Campaign for Fiscal Equity sued the state and won in 2006. The Syracuse City School District still needs the promised money. Next year’s city school budget had to be filled out with $25 million from its savings, said Suzanne Slack, the chief financial officer of the Syracuse City School District. As costs have gone up with the increase

in students, the implementation of Common Core State Standards of education and other state mandates, state aid has not gone up. “We are still receiving the amount of money we used to receive seven years ago in 2008–09.” Slack said. “They made a promise for all this funding, but we never received that funding.” A public education system cannot develop itself out of a financial hole, but the governor has not responded to the accusation that the state has been underfunding poor school districts for years. But taken as a whole, Julie Cerio, the director of the Onondaga Office of Economic Development, said she thinks the county and the city are primed for economic development with just a little creative thinking and innovation. “Our county is a great place to live, work and raise a family,” Cerio said. “We just need to continue finding creative ways to show off all that we have.”

DROPPING THE BO X ‘Ban the box’ policy to go into effect Sunday, will remove criminal record box from applications

illustration by tony chao art director

By Heather Rounds contributing writer

he “ban the box” movement, which aims to eliminate the criminal history box on initial job applications, has spread to Syracuse, and the policy will become effective locally on March 22. The Syracuse Common Council voted 8-1 on Dec. 8, 2014 that the city and all contractors working with the city must remove the criminal record box from their job applications. This will not include jobs in the private sector. After no response from Mayor Stephanie Miner, the law will automatically become effective on Sunday. “The ban opens up more employment opportunities because people with criminal records don’t get screened out. People get judged by their ability, not their past,” said Alan Rosenthal, a consultant from the Center for Community Alternatives, an organization that spearheaded the policy reform in Syracuse. Employers can still complete background checks or ask about criminal histories, but only after extending a tentative job offer. The ban does not necessarily apply to all city jobs. In Rochester, where the ban was recently passed, fire and police department jobs are excluded from the ban. Rosenthal said the exact structure of the ban in Syracuse is still being discussed. Common Councilor Jean Kessner, who worked to get the ban approved in the past two years, said she hopes the new policy will not only improve the quality of life for ex-offenders, but also benefit the local economy. Kessner said she hopes the ban will lower the number of families in poverty by allowing parents with criminal histories to rebuild their lives with better access to employment opportunities. “The whole economy really depends on people getting employment so they can take care of their families and have a better standard of living,” Kessner said. Many of the ban’s supporters share a similar vision that it will improve the livelihood of ex-offenders. “What ‘ban the box’ does is give people a second chance,”

Kessner said. CenterState Corporation for Economic Opportunity, an organization that claims to represent many of Syracuse’s businesses, was in opposition to the ban. Elle Hanna, director of communications and media relations for CenterState, said that the organization was moving forward with local partners to gauge the effects the ban would create. Kessner said CenterState believes the ban forces employers to hire ex-offenders and impedes on businesses’ autonomy. However, Rosenthal said the ban leaves the decision whether to hire an ex-offender or not in employers’ control. “It simply moves the disclosure of background information to the back of the application process,” Rosenthal said.

Syracuse Common Council vote in favor of removing the criminal record box

In the last several years, four other New York cities passed a variation of the ban, including Buffalo and New York City. Some cities adopt more conservative policies while others ban the box in almost all sectors, such as Rochester, which banned the box in both the public and private sector last year. Support from local businesses in the city affects the structure of the ban. Rochester was able to extensively eliminate the box because it had the support of the University of Rochester, a major source of employment in the city. Syracuse University did not promote the disposal of the box. This was one reason for the city’s limited ban, as SU creates many job opportunities in Syracuse, said Patricia Warth, director of justice strategies at the Center for Community Alternatives. “I would love to see Syracuse University as an employer say, ‘This is important.’ SU is uniquely positioned to be a leader as an employer,” Warth said. hgrounds@syr.edu

The second point is centered on improving the relationship between students on campus and the Department of Public Safety. Abell used the example of when parties were no longer allowed at Castle Court, and students began complaining. “Everyone feels like DPS is out to get them and out to shut down parties,” he said. “If you can just put that out in the open and have a

In the coming weeks leading up to the election in mid-April, Abell said the focus of his campaign will be on getting the word out that he’s running. The two said they are trying to have a large social media presence, and Abell added that word of mouth is key for their campaign. “We need to get our names out and make sure people know about us to write us in,” he said.

s soon as Isaiah Rashad entered the doors into Schine Underground, the audience went wild, drowning out his hype man who introduced the up-and-coming rapper to the crowd. Rashad jumped on stage wearing a rose-covered scarf, immediately threw it off and began his wild set with “Ronnie Drake.” University Union hosted Rashad, Pell and student DJ White Cliffs on Tuesday night for the final Bandersnatch Concert Series show of the school year. The show was an estimated four tickets away from selling out, said Rico Pedraza, co-director of the Bandersnatch Concert Series. “I consider it really successful, considering the short time constraint,” said Pedraza, a sophomore in the Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries. “We really only had five days to sell — two before Spring Break and three after. Hell yeah, I enjoyed it. I think it

Coffee offers healthier caffeine fix

ast week, I realized that a latte is milk and a shot of espresso. As a college student and daily visitor of Starbucks, I’m sort of embarrassed that it took me this long to realize that my caffeine fix is basically just a glass of milk. I’ve recently KATE become BECKMAN super health KEEPING IT CLASSY conscious — I’m now that obnoxious person that orders a lettuce wrap at Jimmy John’s instead of bread — so upon realizing that I was essentially drinking caffeinated warm milk with added sugar I thought, “There must be a better way.” So for the sake of journalism, and because I drink Starbucks every day, I decided to find out if there was a healthier alternative to my coffee habit. The most obvious way to cut out unhealthy caffeine would be just to sleep more. But this is America, damn it, and sleep is for the weak. Plus, I get headaches if I don’t drink something caffeinated every day. I thought about replacing my Starbucks coffee with Diet Coke. After all, it’s calorie-free. But whenever I drink Diet Coke, I can’t help but worry I’m drinking watered down jet fuel. I looked it up, and although there’s no jet fuel, artificial sweeteners like aspartame found in diet soda can dull your senses over time and trigger insulin which makes your body go into fat storage mode, according to health.com. It can also erode your teeth, among other bad side effects if you drink it regularly. Cross Diet Coke off my list of daily coffee substitute. 5-hour Energy was another option. Those little bottles only have four calories, zero sugar and as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, according to its website. The last time I had a 5-hour Energy, I was a junior in high school, and my mom found the empty bottle in the trash and grounded me. She thought I was experimenting with drugs. Now that I’m an adult, though, I figured I

bandersnatch was a great time.” Audience members in the front row sang along to each word and threw their hands in the air. “TDE” covered the TV screens behind Rashad as he dropped beats on stage, paying homage to his record label, Top Dawg Entertainment, where he works with artists Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q — who he calls his “family” and “mentors.” As soon as Rashad was done with his first track, he wasn’t afraid to interact and get close to the crowd. “I don’t make the type of music where you jump around,” Rashad said to the crowd, stomping his feet to start off a new song. One of the biggest hits of the night was “Heavenly Father,” which had students screaming Rashad’s lyrics back to him. The song has a deeper meaning for the rapper, as it

beckman could get away with drinking what I wanted. Before deciding to leave my Starbucks habit in the past, I wanted to know how much caffeine 5-hour Energy had compared to normal coffee. In 2012, Forbes did a piece about the safety of energy drinks after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released a report on potential energy drink-related deaths and hospitalizations. The article broke down why consumers should and should not be afraid of drinking 5-hour Energy. According to the article, one 2 fluid ounce bottle has

was inspired by his father’s lacking presence in his life. Rashad said his own relationship with his son is different because even though he’s on tour or working on projects in the studio, he has a role in his son’s life — despite his son’s mother living in Tennessee and Rashad working on the road. About half of Schine Underground was full of hyped up students waiting eagerly for Rashad. When senior in the Bandier Program, Rafe Cohan, the student DJ who goes by the stage name White Cliffs, opened for the two rappers, the audience seemed confused by the different genre and talked throughout his set. It wasn’t until Pell came on that the audience came alive and followed his lead of waving their hands and dancing to his music. Pell amped up the audience during the night by yelling, “Pell yeah?” and having the audience repeat back to him, “Pell yeah.” The

rapper kept the exciting vibe alive by singing remixes and covers, such as Juvenile’s “Slow Motion.” His hype man on the keyboard behind him played for each song, while also managing the mix board.

about 215 milligrams of caffeine, which is actually less caffeine than a grande Starbucks regular brewed coffee, which averages 330 milligrams of caffeine. It contains a number of vitamins and amino acids, including the amino acid phenylalanine that is found in aspartame. The side effects are the same as any caffeinated beverage, including increased heart rate, nausea, tremors and anxiety. But it seems the biggest danger of 5-hour Energy is that because it is so concentrated, it’s easy to accidentally overdose on caffeine by drinking five shots in a row. Its biggest downfall is that it tastes like expired cough syrup, so I’ll just use it as a last resort.

Green tea is often brought up as a calorie-free, not dangerous alternative to coffee. But although it has caffeine, it only has 24–45 miligram of caffeine per 8 ounces. Eight ounces of coffee can have 75–150 miligram. Though green tea has other benefits, it just doesn’t have enough caffeine to be a suitable substitute for coffee, unless you’re one of those blessed people that get nine hours of sleep a night and doesn’t need a lot of caffeine. In the end, overpriced, over-sugared coffee is one of the few things I can count on for daily happiness. And actually, I found out that having a latte with whole or 2 percent milk can

Pell reflected on his hometown in New Orleans throughout his set, and how his relationship with the city after Hurricane Katrina, influenced his life. “I’m trying to convey a sense of being inspired and taking what I’ve done, and what me and my team have done in becoming successful in what I wanted to do,” Pell said. “Sharing and being a light to people in New Orleans and people in Louisiana who aren’t getting that same light — showing them to be yourself, and you can come out of wherever you’re from.” Pell ended his 30 minute set by taking a request straight from the crowd and sang his hit “Eleven:11.” Unusually, Rashad did not sing the last song of the night, but danced along with the crowd to Kendrick Lamar’s new song “Alright” and called out audience members who knew the lyrics to all of his songs throughout the show. jmfrere@syr.edu | @jackie_frere

keep you feeling full for longer and is a good source of calcium. Aspartame can’t do that. Maybe life isn’t just about the number of calories you consume in a day — rather, it’s about the nutritional value of what you consume and how it makes you feel. So after a search for the healthiest caffeinated drink, I decided to keep living my life the exact same way and continue selling my soul to Starbucks. Cheers.

DRAWING INSPIRATION Menswear illustrator discusses personal blog, fashion career By Eliza Weinreb staff writer

enowned menswear illustrator Richard Haines calls his story a “New York story.” Trusting his intuition, Haines moved to Manhattan in 1975 to pursue his dreams of fashion illustration and found security in a successful design career working with famous labels, like Perry Ellis, Calvin Klein and Bill Blass. In 2008, Haines started his blog, What I Saw Today, and reinvented himself by capturing the spirit and HAINES style of New York men in his sketches. Haines now collaborates with brands like Dries van Noten, Prada, GQ, J.Crew and The New York Times. The Daily Orange spoke with Haines about his love for illustration and his career in fashion. The Daily Orange: When did you discover your skills? Richard Haines: I’ve drawn all my life. I look back and I think now, it was kind of an escape for me. When I was 5 or 6, my father was really sick. He was in the hospital for a few months, and I just remember kind of creating my own worlds to escape what was happening. For a kid that age, it was terrifying. That really kind of propelled my drawing. But, I have been drawing ever since I could hold my pencil. The D.O.: How did you get started in fashion illustration and design? R.H.: I moved to New York thinking that I would be an illustrator, but I never studied it formally, so I kind of backed down from it. I didn’t really have the confidence to be an illustrator yet. Then I was in fashion design for most of my career. In 2008, when the economy tanked, I couldn’t get a big design director job again, so I started a blog — everything changed after that.

RICHARD HAINES moved to Manhattan in 1975 to pursue his dream of working as an illustrator and found security in a successful design career. He began his blog in 2008, and it launched his career illustrating for companies and publications. eliza weinreb staff writer The D.O.: Why did you decide to use a blog as a platform to showcase your work? R.H.: Someone said, “Oh you should start a blog. It’s free, and you could just put your work up on it.” I remember looking around and stumbling on The Sartorialist. I saw it and thought, “This is really interesting — I’ll just start drawing stuff and posting.” It was incredibly powerful to just draw what I wanted to draw and post it. After working for big companies, where everything was so edited and someone always had their hand in something, it felt freeing. All of a sudden, I could just draw, scan and post it. I was doing it for me. As a designer, I had great jobs. But the way the industry accepted me was kind of like the universe saying, “You’re not really as good as a designer as you are an artist,” because the minute I started posting on my blog, I started getting feedback. Two weeks after I started the blog, someone emailed me saying I

was written up on Style.com. It made me realize this is really what I’m meant to be doing. The D.O.: Your father was a naval officer, so you traveled around a great deal as a kid. Do you think that exposure has had an effect on your designs? R.H.: When I was a teenager, my father was stationed in Iceland, and I remember leaving the suburbs of Philadelphia at 13 and arriving there. It was so exotic. All the guys looked like Mick Jagger. I think it was the exposure to something so different that really opened my eyes. I was always so hungry to take things in visually — I was like a sponge. And, I still am. Traveling makes you think differently. The D.O.: Many see the fashion industry as competitive and cutthroat, while others argue it is more like one big community. What has

the experience been like for you? R.H.: I think it’s all those things. The kind of world I am in now is a real community, because menswear is such a small piece of the pie. Can it be catty and bitchy? Yeah. I don’t know any field that’s not. Can it be embracing and amazing? Well yeah, that too. The D.O.: If you had the chance to go back in time and talk to your 20-year-old self, what would you say? R.H.: Follow your bliss. I mean, it’s kind of Oprah, but it’s true. Do what you love and the universe will back you up. I think it’s really about trusting one’s instincts and getting really deep and listening to yourself, not what your teachers or parents have told you. Advice is great, but I do think that everyone has this inner core of truth. It took me a very long time to get to it. etweinre@syr.edu

McFarlane, Morris adapt to increased carries for Orange By Jesse Dougherty staff writer

George Morris II is sometimes still catching his breath when he steps to the front of the line for another rep. During training camp in 2014, Syracuse had six running backs cycling through drills. But with Prince-Tyson Gulley, Adonis AmeenMoore and Greg Tobias set to graduate and rising sophomore Ervin Philips moving to H-back, the handoffs are coming quick for rising seniors Morris and Devante McFarlane, along with a walk-on who the team has not announced. And until SU’s 2015 signees join the team for next season, Morris and McFarlane will be the center of the coaches’ attention — a welcomed opportunity for two rushers with minimal experience but a lot of carries ahead. “Sometimes you circle back after a handoff and you think, ‘I’m up again?” Morris said. “... We know we’re going to play big roles this year in the backfield and we need as much work as we can get to be ready for that.” Not much separates Morris and McFarlane. Both are 6 feet tall and McFarlane is only four pounds heavier than Morris. Neither had any carries in 2012 and both were secondary options in the last two seasons, with McFarlane running 76 times for 461 yards and a touchdown and Morris rushing 113 times for 435 yards and a score. When thinking how the two differ, Morris laughed and stumbled before saying that he’s more of a “natural runner” while McFarlane is better catching passes out of the backfield. Then he laughed and said that was probably a stretch because their skill sets are one in the same. “The fact that they are similar helps because they can go in and out and what we’re doing won’t change too much,” Philips said. That hasn’t been the case for the Orange in the last few seasons, as Gulley’s quickness around the edge complemented power runner Jerome

Smith — who left early for the NFL after the 2013 season — before five rushers with differing tools had at least 25 carries each last season. Now with offensive coordinator Tim Lester looking to incorporate the flexible outside zone-running play into his system, Morris and McFarlane’s ability to break tackles and run downhill will be crucial in setting up quarterback Terrel Hunt and SU’s passing game. The outside zone is used by the Seattle Seahawks, among other teams, and Morris and some of his teammates likened he and McFarlane’s rushing style to Marshawn Lynch’s. Lester said he isn’t planning on having one rusher carry the ball 200 times but added that he’ll ride the “hot hand” whenever one emerges. Last season, Wake Forest was the only Atlantic Coast Conference team with fewer team carries than SU, and SU running backs ran for just two touchdowns the whole year. They both came in the team’s season opener against Villanova. “It’s really exciting for us with the way that Coach Lester wants to run the ball,” Morris said. “It’s like me and Devante are moving up at the perfect time. That’s how it feels.” With three weeks until the spring game and then a summer of work ahead, Morris plans to master an offense the Orange hopes can flow like the Seahawks — with one small difference. When Seattle was driving on New England in the Super Bowl on Feb. 1, an outside zone handoff to Lynch got Seattle within a yard of a second-straight title. But then Seattle head coach Pete Carroll infamously called for a pass play on the next down and Malcolm Butler intercepted a Russell Wilson pass to seal a Patriots win. Morris remembers watching and shaking his head at the play call, hoping Lester wouldn’t do the same. “If we get in that spot, in that range, it’s going to be me or Devante pounding it in,” Morris said. “We’ll be ready for that.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

WR Funderburk to transfer after SU opts to part ways By Sam Blum and Connor Grossman the daily orange

Wide receiver Quinta Funderburk has been granted a release from the Syracuse football program and is seeking a transfer, SU head coach Scott Shafer confirmed Tuesday evening. Funderburk was told by Shafer that he would not be welcomed back for his final year of eligibility. “We decided to go in another direction,” Shafer said, “and that’s where we went with it.” The Post-Standard reported the news first a few hours earlier. Shafer declined to comment on why Funderburk wasn’t welcomed back. When asked if it was an athletic or academic reason, Shafer looked around at the group of reporters and said “next question.” Funderburk hasn’t practiced with Syracuse this spring. The rising fifth-year senior originally committed to play football at Arkansas in

the spring of 2011, but didn’t appear in any games for the Razorbacks. He transferred to Syracuse in 2012 as a sophomore and wasn’t eligible to play due to NCAA transfer rules. Funderburk debuted for the Orange during his junior season in 2013, appearing in four games while collecting three receptions for 50 yards. He appeared in eight games for Syracuse last season but didn’t record any receptions. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound wideout is on track to graduate Syracuse this spring, Shafer said, making him eligible to play next season as a graduate student. Quarterback Terrel Hunt — a close friend of Funderburk’s — said the wide receiver had some “mishaps” but believes he’ll bounce back. He said Funderburk was ready to “move on with his life.” “I know he’s going to succeed wherever he goes,” Hunt said. “That’s the type of player he is.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3 cgrossma@syr.edu | @connorgrossman

To get that automatic bid back, the conference will either have to reach out to an outside school to join in lacrosse, or have a school already in the conference add lacrosse as a varsity sport. “You hope somebody adds it, but I’m not sure that’s going to happen,” North Carolina head coach Joe Breschi said. Meanwhile, the Big Ten instead has the six teams required for an automatic qualifier to the NCAA tournament in both men’s and

It was important.” Off the opening draw, Treanor took the ball down low and drew the double team before dishing to SU attack Kailah Kempney after only 17 seconds had elapsed. Syracuse won the next draw and midfielder Taylor Gait put one in the back of the net. But then, Cornell midfielder Sarah Hefner gave the Big Red life.

women’s lacrosse. Rutgers and Maryland joining the Big Ten wasn’t fueled by lacrosse, but for Johns Hopkins, whose only Division I sport is lacrosse, the move was. Since 1883, the Blue Jays had been independent, playing without a conference and without a chance at an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. But when the team missed out on the NCAA tournament in 2013 for the first time in 42 years, JHU reconsidered its situation as the sport began to expand. “We were concerned with where we would be … if we were an independent,” Johns Hopkins head coach Dave Pietramala said. “We had no idea, no safety net, no guarantees — nothing.” So Johns Hopkins latched onto the Big Ten, giving it what Pietramala calls, “a second bite of the apple.” Johns Hopkins can make the tournament

with an at-large bid or by winning the Big Ten. The conference, with the Big Ten Network, will increase the exposure for all the teams in the conference by broadcasting into more than 60 million homes. The increased exposure has turned into a recruiting tool for many of the teams. Recruits recognize the chance to play on TV more and have acknowledged the prestige of some of the teams in the Big Ten, Paul said. “It creates more of a foothold in the Midwest, which is important,” Paul said. “It gives it credibility and more attention in the Midwest … People pay attention to it when it says Big Ten out here.” Though the Big Ten is expanding lacrosse into the Midwest, its conference tournaments are mostly being held in the East to start. The men’s tournament will be at Maryland

and Johns Hopkins for the next two years, respectively. The women’s tournament will be held in Rutgers, Northwestern, Michigan and Maryland for the next four. As viewership increases, the Big Ten will consider more locations in the Midwest in the future, said Brad Traviolia, Big Ten chief financial officer and chief operating officer. At the end of the month, the Big Ten will begin conference play in lacrosse for the first time, showcasing its new teams on a new network for college lacrosse. Lacrosse is expanding, Paul said, and the Big Ten is just the first step. “I never would’ve imagined even a few years ago that we would have Big Ten lacrosse at this point,” Paul said. “I think it’s pretty exciting for the sport.”

tions with seven straight goals. Majorana slung one in while crashing to the ground, then Treanor faked high and pocketed one low before Majorana cut through the middle again and muscled a shot in off the goalie’s stick. Each time, Gary Gait would watch the ball go in and turn to send a new group of players on the field for the draw. “I think it was just the way the Cornell D was playing us,” Majorana said. “They played us in a backer D so it just opened up a lot of in the middle. I was able to cut and find the wide open spots in the field.” Just under six and a half minutes into the game, SU was already ahead 5-1, and Gait began sending in backups. Majorana’s third goal came on a three-onone in transition for SU that left her alone just

a few steps in front of the crease. Cornell goalie Renee Poullott threw her head back in frustration and stared into bleachers behind the net while her teammates huddled together. “(We) jumped on them,” Gary Gait said. “ … (Our) first-half shooting was great.” When SU had the ball on offense, Cornell could hardly do anything to get it back. The Orange passed around defenders and cut through the middle with ease. Even Treanor was occasionally left undefended near the net. She had been held without a goal the past two games, but managed two on Tuesday. On the defensive end, Syracuse pressured the Big Red ball carriers into staying outside the 12-meter mark. Syracuse’s defenders and midfielders cut in front of passes and forced Cornell to throw several away.

“We were getting a lot of good pressure on the ball and we were causing a lot of turnovers,” SU defender Mallory Vehar said. By the end of the first half, the Big Red had 14 turnovers and Syracuse had already used 21 different players. Though Cornell was able to score five second-half goals, it was never able to overcome SU’s dominant start. For a team that had played five of its last six games to one-goal decisions, a comfortable win was nice, Majorana said. And for just the second time all season, the defense kept its opponent to associate head coach Regy Thorpe’s goal of less than 10 goals allowed. Said Vehar: “It was really nice today to come out strong and flying like I know we can.”

Ciferri adjusts to expanded role as defensive midfielder By Sam Blum asst. sports editor

Paolo Ciferri has been told to “act like he’s been there.” A defensive midfielder scoring goals is a rare sight in lacrosse, but something that Ciferri has done twice during Syracuse’s last three games. After his first against Cornell, he did the whip — a popular dance move — next to the goal as his teammates came to celebrate. After a crucial score against Johns Hopkins in the Carrier Dome he flung his stick, stuck his arms out and pretended to soar through the air. But on the off chance he scores again, the reaction will likely be more subdued. “It’s a surreal feeling scoring a goal in the

Dome,” Ciferri said. “It’s unlike anything I’ve ever been a part of. When you do score, the place erupts and it’s overwhelming at times. I guess my celebrations have been pretty excessive.” When Ciferri was recruited to play at Syracuse, he expected to have many more goal-scoring moments. Now a sophomore, the Ithaca (New York) High School graduate was once a prolific offensive player that was forced to adjust upon arriving at SU. And despite having to earn his role after a hamstring injury forced him to miss all but three games last year, Ciferri’s taken the change in stride and developed into a reliable player for the top-ranked Orange (6-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast). “He has great knowledge of the game,” SU head coach John Desko said. “He’s got the green light to go to the goal if he has opportunities to over the course of the game.”

shafer NCAA says we’re in charge of everything, then we’ve got to try and be in charge of everything.” He went onto say that monitoring everyone under him is a difficult task, but one he, and any other head coach, is well aware they’ll have to undertake when they take a job. Syracuse’s football program will vacate 11 wins and be put on probation for five years,

Ciferri said it helps that Desko is liberal with the way he handles his defensive midfielders, and that he wouldn’t know what to do if his offensive role was limited to passing the ball then getting off the field. That’s not to say he plays a dual role, but rather has the option to attack in transition if it makes sense in the flow of the offense. “It’s a comfort thing, too. As a D-middy, especially a younger D-middy, you’re kind of reluctant to make mistakes and shoot the ball,” midfielder Peter Macartney said. “Everyone’s pretty experienced now, everyone’s better now.“ The transition to a defensive-minded player was one that required Ciferri to build up more strength and stamina. Coming in as a freshman, he stood at just 6 feet tall and weighed only 150 pounds. He’s since bulked up to 175. He was forced to get in better shape, noting at first it was nearly impossible to defend against someone’s third or fourth dodge. But being an offensive player by trade helped his defensive instincts, since the two positions have many interchangeable aspects, Ciferri said. Ciferri said his injury helped him refocus. He was so devastated to be on the sideline, rehabbing instead of playing, that when he finally got the chance, he made the most of his return and is now getting a chance to play significant time. “That time period, you grow hungry,” Ciferri said. “Once you get back to full potential, you’re so happy to be playing and competing again that you hit the ground running.” Ciferri still has two years to play after this one and said he doesn’t know if his role in the defense is cemented. He’d welcome a change or the same role. His celebrations — which he planned out with his roommate beforehand — might be over the top, but they’re coming from a player that no longer has an expectation to score. So when he does, he wants the experience to be memorable. “You get recruited here pretty much because you’re a goal scorer or a big-time athlete or something of that sort,” Ciferri said. “And playing defense is the complete opposite, you have to be on your toes, a behind-thescenes kind of guy. You don’t really get a lot of glory. “It’s humbling.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

but neither penalty was the result of an occurrence during Shafer’s time as head coach. He was one of the members of SU’s contingent to attend the Committee on Infractions hearing in Chicago in late October, and explained how he only attended because he was asked to, and was representing the program as its head coach. “I was there for maybe two hours, really. I sat, listened and then I said, ‘Thanks for having me, I hope I never have to see you again,’” Shafer said. “That’s the truth of the story.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

acrosse in the Big Ten wasn’t possible. At least not in the mind of John Paul, head coach of Michigan’s then-club men’s lacrosse team. But in 2012, when he became the head coach of a Michigan team that was the first notable football school to add men’s lacrosse as a varsity sport in 31 years, it helped make it a possibility. At a small recruiting dinner the next winter, then-UM Director of Athletics Dave Brandon pulled Paul aside and asked him what he thought about adding Johns Hopkins to the Big Ten. “Of course my reaction was one, shock, and two, ‘Yeah, let’s do it,’” Paul said. Michigan, along with Maryland, Rutgers, Penn State and Ohio State, are five of the lacrosse programs in the Big Ten, which is midway through its first year as a Division I lacrosse conference. Johns Hopkins’ men team, which fell to SU on Saturday, is the sixth Big Ten participant and the Northwestern women’s team — a national powerhouse and SU’s opponent this upcoming Sunday — rounds out the women’s contingent in the Big Ten. Joining the ACC as the only power-five conferences to sponsor lacrosse, the Big Ten’s addition of lacrosse also increases exposure and the presence of lacrosse into the Midwest. “To have another major conference have the sport only helps,” Syracuse head coach John Desko said. “I think it’ll help the sport grow and help the quality

of teams in that conference grow, which will help Division I lacrosse all across the country.” Although the birth of the Big Ten is a step in development in college lacrosse, Maryland’s move

In the wake of the NCAA handing down sanctions on Syracuse University, the topic of head coaches being held accountable for actions in their program has arisen often. SU football head coach Scott Shafer addressed the topic Tuesday evening, expressing his opinion that part of his job is to simply follow the rules the NCA A lays out for him. “It’s got to be reasonable,” Shafer said of head coaches being held responsible. “You know, the speed limit’s 55, you have to stay within a reasonable speed so you don’t get a ticket.“

SU owns 1st half to beat Cornell By Jon Mettus staff writer

As Syracuse’s players circled together just after the pregame introductions, Cornell’s sprinted to the far cornell 8 sideline and syracuse 14 back to the bench — a ritual normally practiced postgame. Within the first 41 seconds of the game, the Orange had already scored twice and from there, SU dominated. Led by attacks Halle Majorana and Kayla Treanor, who had five and four points respectively, the Orange put Cornell away after capturing an early eight-goal lead. The Big Red was able to scrap a few goals at the end of each half, but No. 5 Syracuse (8-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast) beat Cornell (5-2, 2-0 Ivy League), 14-8, in front of 433 at the Carrier Dome on Tuesday. “We had some players step up, I see cornell page 14
