very Friday, two Syracuse University students go to jail.

They’re not going because they’ve done anything wrong, but rather because they want to help prepare women inmates in the facility for when they get out.

Each Friday around 1 p.m., Taylor Brady and Katherine Desy, both seniors at SU, arrive at the Onondaga County Department of Correction to work with inmates in a minimum-security jail in Jamesville, New York.

From 1–2 p.m., Brady, Desy

and other volunteers from SU hold resume and cover letter workshops for women in the facility who are no more than 60 days away from their release. The program is called Best Foot Forward, and is a part of SU’s Enactus, a nonprofit group housed in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management that is dedicated to providing students with opportunities to assist local and international communities.

The workshop takes place in a small room with up to seven or eight women at a time, with computers that are provided by Best Foot Forward. Walking through a jail and seeing officers walk up and

down the hallways can feel intimidating at first, but once Brady met the inmates, the feeling faded.

“Once you meet the women for more than about five minutes, you wouldn’t think that you were in a jail,” said Brady, a finance and marketing dual major and co-president of the program.

Best Foot Forward is the only job training program available for women in the correctional facility that have a GED diploma or a high school diploma, said Randy Adamakis, the education programs supervisor for the Onondaga County Department of Correction.

By the end of the month, Syracuse University students will likely be able to freely check out and use bikes from Archbold Gymnasium, thanks to a pilot bike-share initiative being organized by the Student Association and various SU departments.

Officials plan to have bikes available by March 30 as long as road and weather conditions permit, said Rick Martin, an analyst for the program.

While the bikes will be free to use, students will have to pay fees when bikes are late, lost or damaged.

The bike-share program is a pilot program that will run for six weeks while officials gather more information about how to make the bike-share program successful in the future.

Officials will be using the feedback they get from students to learn more about what kind of bikes students want, what sort of bike-sharing program makes the most sense and if there is a demand for this kind of program, Martin said.

“It’s hard to get meaningful feedback about a program that only exists on paper,” Martin said. “So we want to put a small pilot program in place and get some real-world reaction from students.”

Officials have not ruled out running programs during the summer or fall semesters, but want an opportunity to re-examine the program and make any necessary changes after the pilot, Martin said.

In addition to SA, departments participating in the pilot effort include the Sustainability Division, Parking and Transit Services, Public Safety and Risk Management, Recreation Services and Students of Sustainability. see bike

Sign language interperter works with students

a.m.

noon hi 34° lo 12°

By Michaela Quigley staff writter

While volunteering at an elementary school, Mareike Larsen couldn’t fully understand the children at the school.

They were exclusively communicating through sign language.

“There were 5- and 6-year-olds whose hands were flying, and obviously they were talking a mile a minute, and I just couldn’t understand them,” Larsen said. “I wanted in. I wanted to know what they were saying, and I wanted to say what they were saying, too.”

Larsen, who is now fluent in American Sign Language, works as a freelance interpreter for two agencies, both of which utilize her services almost exclusively at Syracuse University.

To become fluent in sign language, Mareike attended the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The school accepted only 30 hearing students and accepted 1,100 deaf students at the time. The professors were deaf and the instructions were given in sign language.

Only some of the interpreting professors were hearing.

“It was in essence moving to a foreign country where they spoke in an entirely different language,” Larsen said.

cor r ection In the March 3 article “Gillibrand speaks at SU roundtable, promotes bill to combat sexual assault on college campuses,” the department that will be able to raise fines on colleges and universities found in violation of the Clery Act was misstated.

The Department of Education will oversee this. The Daily Orange regrets this error.

Larsen learned sign language through a textbook for two semesters in her undergraduate studies before attending NTID. Because she was adept in signing, people thought she was skilled in understanding it.

“I became terrified to communicate with anyone because they would

make assumptions on my level of output and I was embarrassed,” she said.

Larsen said she is most passionate about working with students in post-secondary education, which she has been doing since 2000. Larsen added she becomes invested in the students’ experience.

Said Larsen: “It’s nice that I develop these strong bonds and know the person very well, but it’s heart wrenching because over and over again the student graduates and goes off to their lives, which is what should be, but then I miss them terribly.” maquigle@syr.edu

Expert discusses possible applications of data

By Rob Romano staff writer

Andreas Weigend got a “real job” with Amazon. The job gave Weigend the opportunity to work with all sorts of data.

“We could try everything,” he said.

Weigend, former chief scientist at Amazon and data expert, delivered his lecture titled, “We Are Our Data: Harnessing the Power of Social Data” Tuesday night in Hen-

dricks Chapel to a crowd of about 130 members of the SU community.

Weigend’s was the first University Lecture of the spring semester, and he addressed the way data affects people’s daily lives.

The lecture began with a note from Weigend’s background in music. He said he had never spoken in a church before, but had performed the cello.

“I actually wanted to start off in audio engineering,” he said. “But

there was no place to study.” As a result, Weigend pursued a doctorate in physics, working as a professor at New York University and then for start-ups, until he got the call from Amazon. There, he worked with data.

Weigend spoke about customers’ relationship with data, which includes their sense of data collection and the traces of data they leave behind.

“In one day, we produce more data than we did in the year 2000,”

Weigend said.

Geolocation technology is an example of the trace of one’s data, he said, and this technology could have an effect on the retail industry. He added that like Gutenberg’s printing press, there could be a power shift between the consumer and the retailer.

“Many stores have just become show rooms where people go to actually look at the stuff before

Cuomo calls for assault reforms for private schools

By Brigid Kennedy staff writer

Gov. Andrew Cuomo is calling for private universities in New York state, such as Syracuse University, Le Moyne College and Cazenovia College, to adopt sexual assault policies recently put in place at the state’s public colleges.

The provisions of the campaign, titled “Enough is Enough,” urge stu-

dents and victims to seek help from outside law enforcement — rather than campus police — when reporting cases of assault. The policy was adopted for public schools in early December, according to a Feb. 25 Syracuse.com article.

The campaign encourages the public to get involved in advocating for the governor’s policy. It also creates a platform on which students and victims from across the country

can push their respective states to further combat sexual violence on college campuses, the governor’s office said in an email.

In addition to those stipulations, the new law grants immunity to any student under the influence of drugs or alcohol who wishes to report a sexual assault, and requires people to give clear and affirmative consent before engaging in sexual activity.

“Affirmative consent is a really big area that students may not have much exposure to before coming to college, and I think it’s a really important educational message that our Office of Health Promotion and others on campus have been and are working to promote,” said Hannah Warren, the public information and internal communications officer for the Department of see cuomo page 8

Isaiah Rashad, a hip-hop artist, will headline Syracuse University’s second Bandersnatch Concert Series show of the spring semester, University Union announced on Twitter Tuesday night.

New Orleans hip-hop artist Pell will be performing as direct support, according to a University Union press release. The show will take place March 17 in Schine Underground at 8 p.m.

Tickets will go on sale at Schine Box Office starting Wednesday and will cost $5 for SU and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students. A valid student ID is required to purchase tickets and to gain entry to the show.

Rashad is a member of Top Dawg Entertainment. The label also features top hip-hop artists Kendrick Lamar and Schoolboy Q. In 2014, Pell has performed with artists Waka Flocka Flame, Joey Bada$$ and Juicy J. jagedets@syr.edu

Dining halls utilize QR codes well, providing nutritional information

C

ollege dining halls often receive a bad rap because of unhealthy and limited food choices, but Syracuse University is trying to change that with a new technology upgrade.

In collaboration with the Student Association, SU’s Food Services has recently implemented a QR scanning system to allow students to be more informed about what exactly they are eating. Food Services added QR codes that provide nutrition facts and a list of allergens when scanned by smartphones to the name cards of entrees.

The university should be commended for not only improving transparency about the nutrition of its food, but also incorporating technology that students can easily access from the smartphones that they use everyday.

Using one of the many QR scanner apps available on the app market, students can

AARICK KNIGHTON

AN URBAN LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY quickly scan the codes and will then be directed to a menu with the option of viewing the nutrition facts or the big eight allergens — fish, crustacean shellfish, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts and tree nuts — the food might contain.

This initiative was first presented by Stephanie Haber, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences and member of the Student Association, who wanted to accommodate the needs of people with food allergies, sensitivities and preferences.

The mobile site’s interface is simple, visually friendly and easy to navigate, which lets students quickly check food contents without holding up

the line. Food Services could have easily printed the allergens on paper and put it on display, but its integration of smartphone technology proves that the group is forward thinking, aware of trends in technology and most importantly, cares about the health of students.

Unfortunately, many students are still unaware that this new system has been put in place. For these QR codes to become commonplace Food Services and Syracuse University must inform the students that this technology exists and is effective. If statistics show that students are actually using the new system, SU should consider expanding to all food centers on campus.

Quick Response Codes have been around for since 1994 and usable by smartphones since 2010. Businesses have had a tough time finding practical reasons and locations for QR tech. The

application of QR codes in dining halls is a perfect fit because they are easily accessible and provide immediate helpful information to students.

A primary complaint from students is that they cannot make healthy choices because there is lack of nutrition information in dining halls.

That complaint becomes a lot less effective with this upgrade. It is up to students to use this new system if healthy eating is important to them.

Whether you’re allergic to certain foods or just a conscious eater, QR codes in college dining centers are a great addition. QR codes may not be new, but its new role as a nutrition guide proves that you can teach old tech new tricks.

letter to the editor

Liberty in North Korea announces Seedat, Hong endorsement Liberty in North Korea is proud to announce our endorsement of Aysha Seedat and Jane Hong for presidential and vice presidential candidates of the Student Association 59th Session. We have never before endorsed a Student Association candidate, but we feel that Seedat and Hong’s platform of support and safety will represent our interests in a way that no other candidates could.

Liberty in North Korea, or LiNK, aims to shift the perception of North Korea from its politics to

its people. We are a nonprofit organization that rescues North Korean refugees and campaigns to spread awareness about important human rights issues, and our executive board spends the entire year brainstorming the most effective ways to fundraise for our cause. Our success hinges upon working with the student body to promote our messages of community and acceptance.

Not only does Seedat and Hong’s campaign rest on a very similar foundation of safety and support, but Hong also sits on our current exec-

utive board, working to promote our cause on top of her work with the Student Philanthropy Council, the Korean American Student Association and as an RA in the Sheraton. Seedat is the current Student Association director of student life, and works daily with students to build campus community by protecting their best interests through initiatives such as the Chat and Dine program and heat lamps at campus bus stops.

Due to their involvement and like-mindedness regarding the direction the campus

community should be going, and their advocacy and support work through their various student organization affiliations, LiNK asserts that the student body at Syracuse University will be in the best possible hands if Seedat and Hong are elected this spring. We wish Seedat and Hong the best of luck in the upcoming elections, and encourage students to learn more about their campaign through their website and social media.

editorial board

Students need late-night transportation Syracuse University students who are concerned about their safety and need to get home late at night have to wait for Centro and Ultimate Arrival buses for inappropriate lengths of time. This problem can realistically be addressed in one of two ways: the Department of Public Safety’s shuttle services could cater to on-campus housing during Centro hours of operation, or the bus services could run more frequently.

The current services organized

by DPS include walking escorts, Shuttle-U-Home and Shuttle 44.

Shuttle-U-Home and Shuttle 44 are free services that operate late nights and early mornings.

Students can receive free transportation home as long as they live with in the designated boundaries.

Neither of these services operate in areas covered by the Centro buses

during its hours of operation.

This means that students who live with in the boundaries of the Centro services and want an escort or shuttle during the bus hours of operation will only be escorted as far as the nearest bus stop. This rule applies to students who live in Brewster, Boland, Brockway, the Mount and on South Campus. DPS asserts that the Centro bus system is the first resource for safe student transportation, and that the various escort services provided are solely for safety and not for convenience.

But because some bus services run infrequently, for example the East Campus shuttle that is operated by Ultimate Arrival runs only every 40 minutes, students that are escorted to the bus station would still be left alone for an unreasonable amount of time. That period may push students

scribble

to walk home alone, which could then put them a dangerous situations. If the buses ran more frequently, students would feel comfortable waiting for their arrival.

The other alternative would be expanding the shuttle services organized by DPS to the transport students who live within Centro boundaries home even when the Centro buses are in operation. When the shuttle services are in operation and transporting students who live off campus, they should not restrict students who live on campus from also getting a ride.

There is no reason a student should feel they are left in a situation that compromises their safety.

Whether the university decides to contract more late night bus services or expands the shuttle services, something must be done.

Republicans make right decision by focusing on millennial voters

T

his past weekend, Conservative leaders and activists came together at the Gaylord National Convention Center & Resort in National Harbor, Maryland for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference. From prominent media talking heads, to potential presidential hopefuls, CPAC was the No. 1 spot for all things politically conservative.

This year, the American Conservative Union, which hosts the event, made a few changes to the conference. The most important one, however, was that it made its target audience clear: young voters.

By making this crucial alteration to such a major event, the ACU is paving the path for the party itself to follow.

If the GOP takes this advice, then the 2016 presidential election will be a walk in the park.

I’M ALWAYS RIGHT discussed throughout the four-day conference affect each and every person in attendance, they have more of an affect on young voters. In a majority of speeches given at CPAC, it was said that reform is necessary to alleviate the financial and social burdens on the future generations.

The cohort politicians were referring to is current millennials.

Four notable speakers who appealed to the younger crowd were Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.Y.), Rep. Cathy McMorris Rogers (Wash.) and Donald Trump.

Paul had one of the strongest fan bases at the conference, which explains his third consecutive victory Asst. News Editor Sara Swann Asst. News Editor Lydia Wilson Asst.

in the straw poll. Despite the heavy content of his speech, mainly focusing on foreign policy and the Islamic State, the crowd cheered “President Paul” like there was no tomorrow.

Christie and McMorris Rogers both spoke about their humble beginnings. Christie reminisced about growing up in a middle class family with hard-working parents, and McMorris Rogers spoke about her journey from working as a McDonald’s drive-thru cashier to becoming a member of Congress. Lastly, Donald Trump was a major hit with college Republicans, but that was not because of his speech. If anything, his speech detracted from the overall wow factor that came with the fact Donald Trump attended the conference.

Despite some Republican political actors taking necessary steps to appeal to young voters, the party at

large needs to do the same. It will take more than former Gov. Jeb Bush taking selfies at happy hour to do that.

That doesn’t mean that it’s not a starting point, however.

Politicians need to overcome the cold, robotic, bland stereotype that GOP members are associated with. By Republicans humanizing themselves, they will attract younger voters regardless of political affiliation. The Democratic Party has one thing going for them, and that is its strategic utilization of social media.

If the GOP wants to become the party of cool, they can start taking notes from President Barack Obama’s campaign in 2012.

The Republican Party has already started to make strides to achieve this goal. It wasn’t just the conference that charmed young Republicans, but the various events occurring outside

of CPAC itself were targeted to that key demographic. From the College Republican National Committee hosting happy hours and brunches with potential presidential candidates, to the Young Conservative Coalition’s annual Reaganpalooza, college-aged Republicans were bound to find something to do after convention hours.

The convention’s planners took necessary measures to appeal to youth this year, however, they still have more work ahead of them. Young voters are a crucial demographic that the party needs to reclaim. Come election season, it will be important to captivate Generation Y if leaders want to obtain or remain in power.

enactus Without Best Foot Forward, Adamakis said women at the Jamesville correctional facility would have more difficulty getting jobs and transitioning out of jail than men, because most of the jail transition programs for women focus on housing, childcare and medical and financial assistance. Inmates do typically get jobs, particularly ones they want, after the Best Foot Forward workshops, he said.

Best Foot Forward began three years ago when an SU student wanted to work with a local disadvantaged population of women and reached out to the jail in Jamesville as a result, said Desy, a marketing and entrepreneurship dual major and co-president of the program.

Women are typically incarcerated for non-

violent crimes and are more likely to be coming from impoverished backgrounds, said Rachelle Ramirez, a staff member from the National Resource Center on Justice Involved Women.

In fact, Brady said one 65-year-old woman in the workshops last year was in jail for stealing a loaf of bread to feed her family. During the workshop, volunteers helped the older woman apply for the Higher Education Opportunity Program at SU, which provides students from lower economic backgrounds the opportunity to attend SU. Brady said she helped the woman write an essay for the application about where she grew up and how reading and writing were her outlet.

“You kind of had to gain her trust because you could tell she had gone through so much,” she said.

Brady added that it is often difficult to make those personal connections with inmates because volunteers only spend an hour for eight

bike sharing The Sustainability Division wants to promote bicycling as a clean alternative to fossil-fueled transportation for SU students, Martin said.

“More students are bringing their own bikes to campus and that’s great,” said Martin, who works in the Sustainability Division. “But we’d like to have a good option for folks who don’t have their own bicycle available on campus.”

One of the driving forces behind the program has been Daniela Lopez, vice president of SA and a senior political science, policy studies, and Spanish language, literature and culture triple major.

Lopez said that one benefit of the bike-share

When the women first begin the workshop they are asked if they have ever created a resume, and most have not, Desy said. Once Best Foot Forward volunteers help them create their resume, the women then must write a cover letter for a job they would like or one that is similar to the job they had before going to jail. The jobs inmates typically apply for are entry-level jobs, like at restaurants or chain stores, Desy said.

Volunteers will also help inmates fill out Free Application for Federal Student Aid forms and apply to local colleges such as Onondaga Community College if they want to go back to school, she added.

In addition to finding employment, most of the women Best Foot Forward has worked with have not returned to jail, said Amanda Nicholson, the adviser for Enactus and the associate

program is that students won’t have to walk across campus.

“We are one of the only schools that do not provide such service to the students,” Lopez said. “Even our neighbors at ESF have a program.”

Job training programs for inmates are important, Nicholson said, because working can reduce the temptation to return to the lifestyle that led former inmates to jail in the first place. Nicholson said she would like to see Best Foot Forward recruit new members and one day possibly bring volunteers to help the men in the Jamesville correctional facility as well.

Best Foot Forward is an important program, Nicholson said, because the students and inmates gain meaningful insight from interacting with people of different backgrounds.

“At the end of the day, there’s a sense of humanity that you understand when you meet people whose lives started generally in very different ways than the students lives do here,” she said. “You learn as much as you give.” almerod@syr.edu

bike-share program, which was established in 2013, provided a model for SU, said to Scot Vanderpool, an SU Parking Services Manager.

However, the SUNY-ESF program required a $20 yearly user fee, unlike SU’s planned version. Melissa Fierke, a SUNYESF environmental and forest biology professor involved in SUNY-ESF’s bike-share program, told The Daily Orange in October 2014 that the school’s program was met with some challenges, primarily getting people to use the bikes.

Fierke cited the $20 user fee and the high number of SUNY-ESF students who already owned bikes as reasons for the program’s slow start, and said she thought a similar bikeshare program might fare better at SU. tjbeckle@syr.edu

TRAIL BLAZERS City gathers community input for phase two of Creekwalk project

By Hanna Horvath staff writer

P

ublic meetings are being held in Syracuse to brainstorm design ideas for the second phase of the Onondaga Creekwalk, a scenic bike route and walkway that runs through the city.

Led by Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner, the meetings are designed to receive public input as the government begins the design

for the second phase of the Creekwalk project, which started in 2007. Two meetings have already occurred and the third meeting will take place March 4 at 6 p.m. at the Museum of Science and Technology.

The first phase was a popular addition to Syracuse’s downtown area, and Miner said in a Feb. 24 press release that she hopes to expand the trail to connect the rest of the downtown area together.

The first phase — which cost the

city about $11 million — runs 2.6 miles through downtown Syracuse ending in Armory Square. The second phase will accomplish multiple goals for the city. It will add 2.2 additional miles to the existing pathway, connecting existing trails and parks, said Alexander Marion, press secretary for Miner.

The purpose of the Creekwalk is to enhance the beauty of the downtown area, in addition to promoting alternative transportation, such as

biking and walking, Marion added.

“It also links together with the park system of the South Side, such as Kirk Park,” said Russell Houck, who works in the city’s department of engineering.

The pathway will begin at the end of the trail in Armory Square created in the first phase and will extend south to Coven Street. There are currently two different designs for the second plan: one would remain close to the actual creek, while the

other would move in conjunction with the landscape, Houck said..

“It really spurs development in some areas,” Houck said. “The first phase of (the Creekwalk) really influenced the inner harbor. I am hoping for the same with the second phase.”

The next set of meetings will be in the summer. The design is projected to be finished in 2016 and construction will occur in 2017–18. hrhorvat@syr.edu

Phase one of the Onondaga Creekwalk project was completed in 2011 and linked downtown Syracuse with Onondaga Lake. The city is gathering feedback for phase two, which will extend from Armory Square south to Kirk Park. The third meeting to gather input will take place on Wednesday. Two have already occurred.

cuomo Public Safety, in an email.

Warren said she believes Cuomo’s law would help to promote that idea if it focused on “education as well as the restructuring of sexual assault reporting.”

It is important that they are aware of their rights if they are victimized, what they can do and the options that are available to them where sexual violence is concerned.

Gov. Cuomo’s Office

“Students deserve to know that their college and their government are protecting them to the greatest extent possible,” the governor’s office said.

dailyorange.com news@dailyorange.com

A new 24-hour hotline in charge of handling sexual assault reports on New York campuses was also launched recently by the New York State Police in response to Cuomo’s initiative.

The final two components of the governor’s prevention policy include extensive training requirements for staff, administrators and students, and a sexual violence victim/ survivor bill of rights that informs victims of their legal rights and their accessibility to appropriate resources.

Warren said she also supports “the training requirements for members of the university community — which is something our Title IX office and other programs are proactively doing at SU already.”

Syracuse University already meets a good portion of the law’s requirements, Warren added.

“We’ll follow the law if it’s passed but we don’t foresee any major changes in the way we handle reported incidents or investigations with the (Syracuse Police Department),” she said. brkenned@syr.edu

weigend ordering it online,” he said.

Weigend later extended his argument by talking about the power data has to affect everyday life in education, work and health insurance.

It seems to be one of the big fields, a field that is in vogue right now — lots of demands, lots of mystery.

Similar to retail, data could play a role in shifting the balance of power in the workplace. To demonstrate this, Weigend took out his watch that he wears for his current job. The watch records how much sleep Weigend got the night before along with

other details that could affect his work the next day. He said this could help people in the workplace.

In his discussion on healthcare, Weigend raised the question of whether data that reveals the timing of a person’s death should be part of one’s insurance bills.

After his lecture, Weigend held a question-and-answer session with students. Before the dialogue, he told attendees to introduce themselves to those they were sitting near and figure out one thing that might be worth doing that could not be done without data.

Glenn Allen, a freelance software developer and SU alumnus, suggested a ride share app that would require people to say where they were going and to give each other rides to help the environment. In an interview, Allen said data science is a field that continues to develop.

“It seems to be one of the big fields, a field that is in vogue right now — lots of demands, lots of mystery,” he said. “I just want to learn more about it.” rromano@syr.edu

Sullivan said although you can’t make students change what their favorite foods are, you can offer substitutions and reduce portion sizes to make their meals healthier.

Small substitutions — like changing to whole wheat — will also give the meal more fiber, she added.

In light of National Nutrition Month, Ruth Sullivan, Syracuse University’s official dietician, and Keone Weigl, promotions and marketing manager of SU Food Services, took The Daily Orange around Ernie Davis Dining Hall to show how to make a meal at the dining hall healthier.

plate 2 WHAT’S ON THE PLATE:

• Veggie pizza containing broccoli, yellow peppers, spinach, onions, tomato, mozzarella cheese and a whole wheat crust • Two orange slices • Four strawberries • Brown rice Adding vegetables is an easy way to make foods healthier, Sullivan said.

The veggie pizza reduces fat and has more vitamins and minerals.

Oranges, strawberries and brown rice also make the plate nutritiously balanced. Unlike white rice, brown rice is unprocessed and retains its nutrients.

“What we’ve got is a whole wheat crust with veggies, and as you can tell there’s not a lot of cheese on there, but it’s just loaded with vegetables and loaded with color,” Sullivan said, “and when you’re looking at fruit and vegetable intake, you want to think color. You don’t want just one color.”

t’s that time of year again — Spring Break beach body obsession. Cue the articles titled “10 moves that will tone you in time for Spring Break” and the people swearing off Chipotle and on to juice cleanses.

Exercising or dieting to look good on the beach is a personal choice. But if it’s achieved by counting calories or obsessive exercising, those making short-term lifestyle changes just to look good in a swimsuit should consider incorporating healthy choices into

KATE BECKMAN KEEPING IT CLASSY

their lives after Spring Break.

Before I start talking about exercise and healthy eating, I want to clarify that I am not an expert and that this is specifically for people who want ideas on how to tone up or make their lifestyle healthier. I’m not trying to say that health should become everyone’s

priority. Not everyone has time to fit in a workout, and that’s totally OK. But if the upcoming Spring Break has made you want to lose five or 10 pounds, this is how you can turn lastditch weight loss efforts into sustainable habits.

Instead of obsessively counting calories on a fitness app, use it as a way to look at your eating habits. At the beginning of this semester, I started using a fitness app and it told me I should only eat 1200 calories a day in

order to lose weight. About a week into using it, I realized I was just trying to stay under the calorie limit instead of actually eating healthy foods.

If you download a calorie tracker, ignore the calorie limit and use it to keep track of what you’re eating. Once you’re aware of the fact that you eat an all-carb lunch every day, you can start to figure out ways to make small changes. If you’ve been eating pizza and pasta every day, for example, just replace the pizza with grilled chicken and maybe

add some type of vegetable.

If you’ve been torturing yourself with intense two-hour workouts the week before Spring Break, instead try incorporating short workouts into your schedule throughout the week. According to a Jan. 14, 2014 Livestrong.com article, spending just 20–30 minutes on an elliptical machine three days a week can give you a full body workout and improve your aerobic fitness.

VPA

LA program offers art students professional experiences

By McKenna Moore contributing writer

Located in San Pedro, California is an 850-squarefoot studio overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

It’s this studio that four Syracuse University graduate students pursuing a master’s of fine arts degree are sharing while they participate in the Turner Semester, a program operated by the College of Visual and Performing Arts.

Through the program, which VPA is offering for the first time this spring, the students get to experience the West Coast art scene firsthand by meeting artists and curators from the city and have their own studio space to work in that overlooks the Pacific Ocean.

Caitlin Foley, the project manager overseeing the Turner Semester, said the program gives students the opportunity to find themselves as artists and to explore the professional atmosphere of Los Angeles.

beckman willing to spend some money to easily increase your activity, invest in a fitness tracker like Fitbit or Jawbone that tells you how many steps you’re taking a day, and how many you should be taking.

Instead of cutting out all sweets from your diet leading up to Spring Break — because you know that can’t last forever — just cut down on how often you eat that extra cupcake or jar of Nutella.

Foley added that while the students are learning and experiencing the art culture of the city of Los Angeles, they are also getting the time and space to create, allowing them to forge connections with artists and build networks for the end of their schooling. Foley notes that this program is a transition from the students’ long educational career into the real world of art as a career.

The students intern at the Museum of Latin American Art and the Angels Gate Cultural Center to promote engagement on different levels. Each student only works 10 hours a week, but those hours are important to forming their vision of what kind of work they want to do post-graduation, Foley said.

Ozan Atalan, one of the graduate students participating in the Turner Semester, believes the characteristics of the program will take SU’s MFA program one step further than other art programs around the country.

“This program offers a great opportunity

for creating a realistic sense of what it would be like after getting an MFA degree and helps a lot for developing adaptation skills in the art world,” Atalan said.

If you’ve been having dessert with every dinner, limit it to three times a week. And if your go-to snack from the vending is M&M’s, swap it for trail mix with M&M’s instead.

There are little changes that don’t require eating differently or exercising that can make a big difference in your health. Drinking more water, for example, can help energize muscles and flush out toxins, according to WebMD. FitDay.com and other sources also claim that drinking a lot of water can help you

consume less calories because you feel more full. Additionally, green tea can speed up your metabolism and reduce bad cholesterol, but it has caffeine and zero calories, which makes it a healthy substitute for a latte. And it’s one of the cheapest drinks at Starbucks, so it’s a good “I need the free Wi-Fi but don’t want to buy something expensive” drink.

Nobody should feel like they need to change their body to look better in a swimsuit. But if you do want to look a certain way for Spring

I have never experienced LA — it’s very different from the art scene I am used to at home in San Francisco and at school in New York.

Marsha Mack turner semester graduate student

Marsha Mack, also one of the four graduate students, said her favorite part of the semester so far is exploring the city and being inspired by a new place.

“I have never experienced LA — it’s very differ-

ent from the art scene I am used to at home in San Francisco and at school in New York,” said Mack, a third-year graduate student studying ceramics.

She said it allows for the students participating to “get an understanding of the flavor” of Los Angeles art, and that grasping the microcosm of art in LA is enlightening but also challenging.

Atalan said the Turner Semester is great experience for him to re-evaluate his work.

He takes into account insight he gets from art events, artists, professors of other art schools, audiences and curators he meets in Los Angeles.

Having reached the midpoint of the semester, Atalan said the Turner program is a success. He said it provides students a wide range of opportunities to network, get different feedback from professionals in the art world, have a unique life experience that reflects their work and adjust to participating in the art world by learning how to be present and validate themselves. mpmoor02@syr.edu

Break, take it as an opportunity to change your entire lifestyle when it comes to health and fitness. Making small changes to your diet and exercise habits over time is a lot safer — and probably more effective — than turning to crash dieting or other extremes.

Risqué business Senior works to finish provocative fashion collection inspired by women, sexuality

KIERA HENDERSON spends hours every week working on her first full collection. She’s constantly surrounded by sewing machines on every table. frankie prijatel photo editor

HENDERSON said her senior collection features daring pieces, like a caged skirt constructed out of leather and velvet, a silky floor-length robe with a caged back, gray lacy bralettes and high-waisted underwear. frankie prijatel photo editor

“She puts her personality into her pieces. You can see each part of her in the work she does.

She loves to take risks,” said McKinney, a senior magazine journalism major. “It’s going to be a shocker — it’s not the norm for a Syracuse University fashion show.”

Henderson describes her personal style as “very chill but kind of eclectic.” She avoids wearing what she considers “basic” clothing, such as black leggings and plain T-shirts.

“I try not to let (trends) take over my whole style,” she said. “I try to just be an individual — I don’t like to wear what everyone else is wearing.”

Todd Conover, Henderson’s senior collection professor, has watched her confidence as a designer grow since last semester. He is positive that the lingerie-inspired collection will be a success due to Henderson’s “striking” application of historic elements of fashion but with a contemporary twist.

“She has a gift for that. She’s a very assured

iera Henderson had no sewing experience, little interest indesign and no idea what career path to take by her junior year of high school.

That all changed when she got an email about a summer program for fashion design at Syracuse University, where she discovered her passion.

“In high school when we had dress-down days, I was just that girl who did the most and just like went all out — I had never taken that into consideration,” she said. “My mom was like, ‘Why not go and see how it is?’ and after (the program) I realized it’s definitely what I want to do.”

Henderson, now a senior fashion design major, spends hours every week working on her first full collection. She’s constantly surrounded by sewing machines on every table, pop art photos of supermodel Twiggy around the room and dress-form mannequins on every corner.

After spending last spring abroad in London where she experienced an environment that was more accepting of nudity, Henderson was moved to create a collection inspired by female sexuality.

Henderson said her senior collection features daring pieces, like a caged skirt constructed out of leather and velvet, a silky floor-length robe with a caged back, gray lacy bralettes and high-waisted underwear made out of mesh and spandex. She said her collection aims to break down the barrier between women and sexuality.

“It’s very 50 Shades-esque — that wasn’t where it was supposed to go, but it did,” she said. “There’s definitely some boobs, and it’s very revealing but in a cool way, not overly nasty and freaky.”

Jessica McKinney, Henderson’s roommate and best friend, claims that the collection also matches Henderson’s edgy and adventurous personality.

designer. I appreciate that she’s willing to stretch that far,” Connover said. “It will be a memorable collection because it’s out of the box and risqué.”

When she’s finished, Henderson will present her full collection at the senior fashion show on April 23 alongside other fashion design students.

“It’s girly, but it’s like ‘I’m a boss bitch,’” she said about her collection. “I’m pretty sure people aren’t going to be ready.” camadi@syr.edu

women’s lacrosse

Attack Majorana shines for SU after transfer from UMD

By Paul Schwedelson asst. copy editor

Halle Majorana is always smiling.

She smiles when teammates make fun of her for not knowing a drill in practice.

She smiles at Syracuse’s 8 a.m. weight-lifting sessions.

She smiles when she tells a joke and her infectious laugh causes her teammates to too, even if they don’t think it’s funny.

“I definitely smile here a lot more,” said Majorana, who is in her first season at Syracuse.

Majorana transferred to No. 5 SU (5-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast) over the summer after playing her freshman and sophomore years at Maryland, the defending national champion and Syracuse’s opponent on Saturday. When the two teams met in the national championship last season, Majorana didn’t play.

The junior said she transferred for personal reasons and is much happier with the Orange than at UMD as she gains more playing time than she said she’s ever received.

And so far at SU, Majorana’s making the most of her second opportunity. After earning a spot on the starting attack, she’s put up 14 goals and 14 assists to rank fourth nationally in points as of Tuesday. Her 14 assists in six games match her total from last year over 20 games.

“She’s good left (hand), right (hand), good finisher, great feeder,” SU head coach Gary Gait said. “So she has kind of everything you need to be a standout player.”

The biggest difference between Syracuse and Maryland, Majorana said, is that Gait has encouraged her to embrace more creativity in her game. He tells his players to incorporate unique ways of passing the ball, including behind-the-back passes, and it’s resulted in Majorana having more fun on the field.

While learning a three-on-two drill in the fall, her teammates flipped the ball to each other instead of passing overhand. Majorana wasn’t used to it and her teammates sometimes made fun of her for not understanding — and now it’s one of her favorite drills.

The transformation from bench player at UMD to star attack at SU has been eye-catching, but Syracuse coaches and teammates knew the potential she could bring. ESPN Rise ranked Majorana the top attack and Inside Lacrosse rated her the class’ 14th-best freshman in the Class of 2012. from page 16

“They’re my daughters. So if one of them gets hurt, you hurt.”

Peterson earns All-ACC 2nd team honors Sophomore point guard Alexis Peterson has been named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference second team, the conference announced Tuesday afternoon.

Peterson leads No. 22 Syracuse (21-8, 11-5 ACC) in scoring with 15.1 points per game,

“That was a long time ago,” Majorana said.

Now, Majorana is only focused on Syracuse. She said it’ll be emotional when she plays her former team later this week, but she’s trying not to think about that too much.

Majorana said the transition to SU was smooth because of her teammates. They helped her find Grant Auditorium when she couldn’t last semester. They brought her to Goldstein Student Center where they would spend hours after practice. They accepted her silly personality and her singing during practice.

Part of the camaraderie was built in high school, when she played with Erica Bodt and Kelly Cross at the Vail Shootout in Colorado.

She also played with Kayla Treanor at the Under Armour All-American Game. She is now one of 35 New York natives on SU’s roster, so she had no problem finding people that she already knew.

She’s good left (hand), right (hand), good finisher, great feeder. So she has kind of everything you need to be a standout player.

“She came in with just a great attitude about it. She knew that it was going to be hard and she would have to work to try to fit in,” Cross said. “… She has become a huge presence on the field and has just really stepped up her game.”

Majorana credits part of her improvement to Treanor. The two play at opposite sides of the field behind the goal and when Treanor draws a double team, Majorana is often open on the opposite side. Treanor has given advice to Majorana and helped her stay calm during games.

When Majorana gets asked about why she left Maryland, she doesn’t like to say much.

But when she gets asked about coming to Syracuse, her go-to phrase is “second opportunity.”

“I’m definitely having more fun,” Majorana said. “… It’s very important not to put too much pressure on yourself and I really used to do that and now I’m going out and having fun every single game.”

gait

While Timchal coached at Northwestern in the 1980s, she pushed the United States Women’s Lacrosse Association to change the size of a goalie stick. Unlike in the men’s game, a women’s goalie’s stick had been the size of a field player’s stick, but she successfully petitioned to change that, said Nancy Stevens, Timchal’s former assistant at Northwestern and now Connecticut’s field hockey coach.

Some disliked the move because they thought goalies would save too many shots, Stevens said. When Timchal brought in Gait, she faced further pushback. Stevens said other coaches were afraid of Timchal and Gait making the women’s game into the men’s game.

“At the time, it was not a popular decision among her colleagues,” Stevens said. “Some people thought of it as a kind of unwritten rule like, ‘We don’t hire men.’ “… People were aghast.”

Gait was equally aghast at the rules of the sport. There was no contact allowed, meaning games had endless whistles, no out of bounds lines and no restraining lines, which limit the number of players that can play on one end of the field. Coaches could stand anywhere — even on the other team’s sideline.

Two or three years into coaching at Maryland, Gait asked Erin Brown Millon, a co-worker at sports equipment company STX, “What is the deal with these rules?” But he read the rulebook, took the lineless field and made it his personal canvas.

Most teams dropped three defenders back and played with eight offensive players.

Not Gait.

He threw all 11 field players forward on offense, which disrupted half-field play. As teams started picking up on the trend, Gait’s innovation was soon followed by the NCAA’s addition of restraining lines in 1998.

“He was so smart in figuring out how some aspects of the men’s game could fit into the women’s game, but he also took the time to really understand the women’s game and really make it better,” said Missy Doherty, a UMD player from 1994–97 and now Penn State’s head coach.

While men’s lacrosse uses a white ball, women’s lacrosse uses a yellow one. In the late 1980s, Syracuse men’s lacrosse started playing with all white heads and mesh on their sticks, making it harder to track the white ball out of the stick.

80%

Sixteen of the last 20 NCAA women’s lacrosse championships have been won by Cindy Timchal or by her former players who have since become head coaches.

At Maryland, Gait had his players use yellow heads for the same reason. Gait even had the stick of Alex Kahoe, a Maryland goalie from 1997–2000, strung yellow in case he ever ran a hidden-ball trick with his goalie.

That’s where Gait may have made his biggest difference in women’s lacrosse — the stick.

Gait helped players enhance their stick skills, a trait he was known for while he played.

“It wasn’t just a men’s player saying, ‘This is how we should do it,’ and then showing stuff and using a guy’s stick,” Brown Millon said. “…

He actually walked the walk, playing with a women’s stick.”

He allowed Maryland players to be more

creative than they had ever been before, throwing behind-the-back passes and doing aroundthe-worlds, a move where the player brings the stick behind them and shoots forward.

He also helped push along the redesign of the stick itself. When Maryland faced Princeton in the 1995 national championship — Gait’s second year of coaching — the Tigers still used wooden sticks.

The first time he spoke at an Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association convention, he made a presentation about the benefits of plastic sticks over wooden sticks. Gait said about half the coaches agreed that plastic sticks are more balanced and give players better control of the ball. A wood stick had less of a pocket and the ball sat at the base of the head, instead of by the shooting strings.

“I think I told them to burn their wooden sticks,” Gait said. “I gave reasons why and I demonstrated and I think we went on to prove the plastic stick era was well on its way.”

Gait even further influenced equipment, too.

Under Armour, founded in Maryland, worked with Gait on designing light kilts for the players to wear. At the same time Gait was helping Under Armour design its first products, he was working on footwear products with Nike.

His women’s lacrosse reformation is still unfinished. The men’s game has added stall warnings and ensuing shot clock, but women’s contests can turn into keep-away late in games.

Gait’s called for a shot clock numerous times.

“I would like to see it,” Gait said after a slow game against Boston College on Saturday, “but that’s just me. I’m just one person.”

But if Gait’s past is any indication, it may not take much more than that. cjlibona@syr.edu

Wings show improvement for Syracuse with Williams at X

By Sam Blum asst. sports editor

Neither Syracuse’s Zack Vehar nor Virginia’s Jason Murphy could take control at the faceoff X. As the ball dribbled out to the enclosing wings, Mike Messina found himself surrounded

by three navy UVA jerseys. But he sidestepped his opponents, swiftly picked up the ball and escaped into Syracuse’s side of the field.

“Our job mainly is just to let him know where we are on the field when he gets into a stalemate with the other guy,” Messina said of SU faceoff specialist Ben Williams. “Let him

MIKE MESSINA has recorded 16 ground balls for SU, three more than last season. Ben Williams has thrived at the X and so too have his wings. spencer bodian staff photographer

know where he could put the ball and stuff like that. It gives us an opportunity to get the ball.”

And the wings — made up primarily of Messina, Peter Macartney and Scott Firman — have done their job well for No. 1 Syracuse through its 4-0 start to the season. Messina has picked up 16 ground balls, three more than all of last season, while Macartney and Firman have combined for 21 more. On the season Syracuse has secured 55 more ground balls than its opponents and its wings credited their communication with Williams for the improved numbers.

And Williams, who has started the season by winning 62-of-86 faceoffs, has made a point on several occasions to credit his wings as well.

“I was on the ground a couple times and saw the ball bouncing around and they swooped through and picked up some really good ground balls,” Williams said of his 21-of-25 performance against Army on Feb. 22. “And I’m sitting there thinking, ‘Wow. I can’t believe it. That’s impressive.’ … Ground balls win games.”

Macartney said that before the faceoff, all three are communicating around the X about where the other wings are, where their opponent is and who will guard against the fast break in the event that Syracuse doesn’t win the faceoff. The purpose is to keep Williams aware of what’s going on around him when his focus is on capturing the ball.

Their job is also to box out the other wings

Gibson uses WNBA experience as SU recruiter

By Paul Schwedelson asst. copy editor

Quentin Hillsman said recruiting has gotten harder since he became the head coach at Syracuse. He used to tell recruits they would get playing time to persuade them to join the Orange. But as his team improved, he could no longer make those guarantees.

Enter Kelley Gibson, a former WNBA champion.

“Just that she’s done it,” Hillsman said, “and her background and her success as a player has been a major reason why we’ve gotten some of the All-Americans, some of the other players we’ve gotten.”

Gibson is No. 22 SU’s (21-8, 11-5 Atlantic Coast) recruiting coordinator and has played a significant role in shaping SU’s team, which will start the ACC tournament Thursday morning. Gibson learned from WNBA legends and helped the Houston Comets win their fourth-consecutive championship as a rookie in 2000. Fifteen years later, the fourth-year assistant passes on what she learned.

She compared the work ethics of Sheryl Swoopes, Tina Thompson and Cynthia Cooper

to Kobe Bryant’s. Gibson would get to practice and see Cooper was there before anyone else and would stay after practice, too. When the Comets’ best players were also the hardest working, that’s what taught Gibson how to be a pro and that’s what she tries to instill in SU’s players.

“We all say hey, you got to work hard, you got to come in early and stay late,” Gibson said. “But when you witness it from great players … when you’re there and you see it and you witness it, that’s the experience that I talk about.”

Hillsman and Gibson said recruiting’s about building relationships and trust. With Gibson’s background in the WNBA, it’s made it easier for her to gain the attention of recruits right away.

“She can tell players ‘I played at the highest level, I won at the highest level and I know what it takes to get there,’” Hillsman said.

She sends morning texts and afternoon texts to the recruits that she prioritizes. She checks their Instagram, Twitter and Facebook pages to gather information. Gibson makes sure to stay in touch with coaches that have sent players to SU in the past to check on their upcoming prospects.

Gibson strives to get the recruits to visit Syracuse as early as possible and from there,

she lets the campus and the team’s current players speak for themselves.

“She was different from most coaches that tried to recruit me,” center Briana Day said. “She was very easy to talk to … She just talks like a player since she’s played at all levels. We can relate and she knows what she’s talking about.”

In practice, Gibson primarily works with the guards and her method is hands-on. St. Francis (Georgia) High School head coach Aisha Kennedy witnessed it when she visited a Syracuse practice.

“I was impressed that she was so passionate about it,” Kennedy said, “and that she took the time to explain the drill, why they do the drill.”

Kennedy coached SU senior Diamond Henderson and still coaches Abby Grant, who has signed with SU for next year. Henderson said what stands out about Gibson is, “She’s just cool.”

And it’s Gibson’s experience that has helped her connect that way with players.

“You got to be yourself,” Gibson said. “I’ve been a former player, I’ve been in their shoes. So I understand a lot of it, what they’re going through, trying to manage being a student and an athlete.

It’s like a job, and I’ve been in their shoes.” pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

so Williams has space to make a play and gain total control of the ball. Messina said that Williams is better than Chris Daddio was last season at getting the ball to different places because he’s quicker and more athletic.

“It’s trying to keep Ben aware, because he’s got his head down the whole time,” Macartney said.

“It’s keeping Ben aware of where the open space is.”

Last season SU picked up 25 fewer ground balls than its opponents. The year before that, 21 fewer. This season, though, Syracuse has flipped that script, and has made it a staple of a team that — as of Monday — is ranked as the nation’s best.

In past years, the faceoff game was different, and specialists were less prone to running out with the ball. But now, Messina says, his job is more about precise timing. And so far this season, Messina and the rest that unit have been an integral part of Syracuse’s success.

“The faceoff X, a lot people think is an individual position,” Williams said. “But it’s a three-man game.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

GARY GAIT, now in his eighth season as Syracuse’s head coach, has left his mark as a pioneer in the women’s lacrosse game. In addition to fueling the shift from wood sticks to plastic, he had a hand in the addition of field boundaries while he was an assistant coach at Maryland, which hosts his No. 5 Orange this Saturday.

Gait faces Maryland years after revamping sport with Timchal

By Chris Libonati staff writer

A

women’s lacrosse game has all the markings of Gary Gait and Cindy Timchal. From the lines on the field, the sticks in players’ hands and the skirts on players’ waists, Gait and Timchal moved forward an undeveloped game.

Women’s lacrosse was brutal to watch in the mid-1990s, said John Blatchley, a friend of Gait and his fellow assistant at

Maryland for two years. Whistles constantly stopped play and Blatchley estimates only about 500 people showed up to an NCAA championship game in the mid-1990s — a fraction of the 10,311 fans that showed up to the 2014 title game.

There was no out of bounds. The referees determined when the players moved too close to a wall, the stands or the bench, too far from the game. With Gait as an assistant coach, Timchal won seven national titles as Maryland head coach from 1994–2002, the first being in 1995.

Twenty years later, Gait, Syracuse’s eighth-year head coach, will lead his No. 5 Orange against Maryland — the school where Gait and Timchal constantly re-evaluated and revamped women’s lacrosse — on Saturday for the 10th time in his career.

“She wanted to move the game forward, she was very progressive in her thought,” Gait said. “I certainly supported those ideas and always have and did.”

Gait — who won two national championships and holds the record for goals in his career at Syracuse from 1987–90 — originally planned on just playing professionally, not coaching. But his daughter Taylor had recently been born, so he decided to take Timchal’s offer to be an assistant coach on a whim.

“It was kind of out of the box,” Timchal said, “I felt just watching Gary play for Syracuse — his style was very unique — I thought his style wasn’t your normal brute strength.” see gait page 14

Long expects to redshirt Syracuse’s Henderson tears ACL upcoming 2015 season

By Josh Hyber and Paul Schwedelson the daily orange

By Matt Schneidman asst. sports editor

Rising sophomore quarterback AJ Long expects to redshirt this upcoming season, he told a group of reporters at Tuesday night’s media availability. News Channel 9’s Shannon Shepherd was the first to report it via Twitter.

In six total games in 2014, Long

threw for 935 yards and ran for a net loss of four. SU only won one game during that time, a 30-7 victory over Wake Forest on Oct. 18.

Aside from Long, SU’s crop of quarterbacks will consist of rising senior Terrel Hunt, rising junior Austin Wilson, incoming freshman Eric Dungey and preferred walk-on Zack Mahoney. mcschnei@syr.edu @matt_schneidman

Senior guard Diamond Henderson has torn her left ACL and will be out for the rest of the season, Syracuse head coach Quentin Hillsman announced Tuesday morning.

Henderson, who’s third on the team with 10.5 points per game, injured the knee in a non-contact play about three minutes into the second half of SU’s regular-season

finale against Clemson on Thursday.

Henderson was going for a transition layup and landed awkwardly, with her left foot hitting the floor and her knee bending the other way.

“Hopefully she can get herself back together and get her knee repaired and move on and play at the next level,” Hillsman said. “Obviously, we’re waiting for her to get herself together and get her a full recovery.”

Hillsman routinely talks about his team’s depth, and said Tuesday, “I guess this is when our depth will

be tested and we’ll see how deep we really are.”

Henderson, who transferred to SU this season from Tennessee Tech, was the Orange’s leading contributor off the bench.

“It’s disappointing when any of your players get hurt,” Hillsman said.

“You hate to see your players go down when you know how hard they work.

I know that their heart’s in it. I know that they compete at a very high level.

So anytime someone gets hurt, it’s see notebook page 12
