ust four days into his new job as Syracuse University’s Chief of Public Safety, Robert “Bobby” Maldonado got an unexpected phone call.

Renate Simson, a professor in SU’s African American studies department, was teaching a section of AAS 138: “Writing About Black Culture,” over the summer and, at the behest of her students, wanted Maldonado to answer some tough questions.

On July 19, a week prior to the phone call, a University of Cincin-

nati officer shot and killed Samuel DuBose, an unarmed man, during a minor traffic stop. The incident made national headlines and it was the first time the national conversation about race and police brutality directly related to a college campus, Simson said.

“What about us?”

“Do we have body cameras?”

“Could this happen on our campus?”

Simson didn’t know the answers to these questions from her students, but she thought Maldonado would. Without hesitation, Maldonado told Simson he would come

into her class and talk to her students. They set a date, about a week later, for Maldonado to do a Q&A with the class.

The most powerful police officer on campus willingly submitted himself to be cross-examined by a room full of students, many of whom are activists. This is just part of Maldonado’s larger leadership strategy, especially after the recent high-profile killings of unarmed black men, like Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Freddie Gray, have strained police relations with the African-American community and brought rise to the national “Black

Lives Matter” movement.

Maldonado’s strategy as Chief of DPS, a position he took over in July, involves emphasizing community policing by building and maintaining positive relationships with students. All armed DPS officers will start wearing body cameras on Oct. 1. Although Maldonado was not there to make the decision to get body cameras, he said he supports the decision.

“As a police executive, I think it’s up to me, really, to set the tone for the department so that the police officers who work at SU see maldonado page 6

Body cameras to go into effect for armed officers

By Rachel Sandler asst. news editor

Every armed public safety officer at Syracuse University will start wearing body cameras on Oct. 1.

The Department of Public Safety employs a total of 42 public safety

officers and 36 of them, those who are armed, will be required to wear body cameras on shift, said newly appointed DPS Chief Bobby Maldonado. The move comes amidst nationwide instances of police brutality and subsequent protests.

A trial program for the use of

body cameras was started last year in response to the shooting death of Mike Brown, an unarmed teenager in Ferguson, Missouri. Former DPS Chief Tony Callisto spearheaded the program, said Maldonado.

“Our decision to proceed with body cameras was a proactive deci-

sion, not a reactive decision,” Maldonado added.

Although Maldonado was not involved in the decision to implement DPS’s body camera program, since he only started his job as DPS chief this summer, he said see body

TATTOO tuesday | kylie sanders

Lotus flower symbolizes overcoming struggles

By Hanna Horvath staff writer

The lotus, tattooed squarely in between junior Kylie Sanders’ shoulder blades serves as a reminder of the personal struggles she felt her freshman year of college.

“I was having a really bad year,” said Sanders, who found the combination of school and her own personal issues to be too overwhelming. In an attempt to open a new chapter in her life, Sanders decided to get a tattoo.

“I always wanted a tattoo, but wasn’t really sure what I wanted,” Sanders said. “But when I read the story about the lotus flower, I felt really inspired.”

The lotus flower, which is used in both Buddhist and Hindu religions, represents the three stages of evolution. Just as the lotus flower rises from the mud to reach full bloom, the individual progresses through their own problems to reach their full potential, Sanders said.

“It made me feel like I was being reborn into a new person — a less sh*tty person,” said Sanders.

The decision did not come without research, however: Sanders did a lot of

research looking for the right symbol that recognized her difficulties in addition to her development as a person.

Sanders considered getting a quote from her favorite childhood book, “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton, though she decided at the last minute against it.

“I just thought it was way too basic,”

she laughed. “So many people would have seen it and thought I was just getting it without knowing what it meant.”

Sanders admits that the process of deciding to get the tattoo was hard.

“I threw up in the middle of it,” she said. “[To get a tattoo] in the middle of your back — it hurts so bad. ”

Though she can’t see it, Sanders is comforted by the fact that it’s always there.

Said Sanders: “I broke away from a bad situation and got out of it, and I felt the tattoo was what I needed to get over it.” hrhorvat@syr.edu

Effect of SU policy unclear Expansion of SU Abroad has unknown impact on abroad enrollment

While the effect of a new Syracuse University study abroad policy is unclear, the university is taking steps to raise the number of students studying outside the country.

Last year, SU announced that beginning this fall, it would no longer grant credit to students who take a leave of absence to participate in a study abroad program that is not through the university or its affiliated schools. The number of students studying abroad in those programs is see su

Updated SU travel policy to take effect Tuesday

By Justin Mattingly news editor

A new travel and entertainment policy that is set to go into effect at Syracuse University on Tuesday will save the university an estimated $2 million annually.

As part of the new policy, BTI The Travel Consultants has been

named the university’s travel management partner for airline tickets, hotels and car rentals, according to an SU News release. SU will also implement Concur, an online travel portal available 24/7, for domestic and international travel, according to the release.

The policy affects faculty, staff and students who travel in official

university capacities and need to be reimbursed, according to the release.

The revised policy is a part of the Operational Excellence component of Chancellor Kent Syverud’s Fast Forward initiative. The initiative has three components—the Academic Strategic Plan, the Campus Master Plan and Operational Excel-

lence. SU announced in July the completion of the Academic Strategic Plan.

Jaclyn Grosso, executive director of communications and public relations for Fast Forward Syracuse, said in an email that the policy fits into the Operational Excellence program because it see policy page 4

The university spent $36,000 on body cameras, at $1,000 per camera, said Maldonado.

Maldonado added that the body camera footage, which will be downloaded onto a private server at the end of each officer’s shift, will not be readily available to the public. It will be used as evidence by the district attor-

ney to prosecute cases and released to the public on a case-by-case basis.

“If you had an interaction with a peace officer here on campus, you’re not going to be able to ask the peace officer to share that data with you,” Maldonado said.

A number of other large, private research institutions, including Cornell University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have implemented mandated travel policies and are using Concur for online travel booking, according to benchmarking efforts led by the Fast Forward Syracuse travel and entertainment initiative team.

Grosso added that by booking through Concur and its online portal, SU will be able to better manage its travel spending.

DEAL OR NO DEAL Professors discuss impact, opposition of Iran nuclear deal

By Satoshi Sugiyama staff writer

T

he U.S., along with Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany, reached a historic agreement with Iran on July 14, curbing the country’s ability to develop nuclear weapons in exchange for removing sanctions.

While President Barack Obama praised the deal, two high-ranking U.S. senators, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ), announced their opposition to the deal.

The Daily Orange spoke to Miriam Elman, a political science professor at SU, and Bill Smullen, director of the national security studies program, about the deal.

The Daily Orange: Do you approve of the Iran deal?

Miriam Elman: The deal is terrific for Iran.

It legitimizes Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions in exchange for temporary and barely verifiable restrictions on its nuclear program.

The deal is a non-disarmament, limited-arms control accord and shouldn’t be sold as more than it is. It legally gives Iran, which has a

past record of cheating and concealing its nuclear activities, the ability to shorten the time to nuclear breakout within the next 15 years, virtually guaranteeing an Iranian bomb. Another fatal flaw is the immediate sanctions relief — billions of dollars will pour into Iran without it being required to change its policies of terror or aggression.

Bill Smullen: I am in favor of it for this reason: For 36 years, we have been at odds with a very important country in a very important part of the world. It is time for that to end. I think the nuclear deal, as you called it, is a better alternative than what we might face, which is war.

The D.O.: Sen. Schumer and Sen. Menendez oppose the deal. Are you surprised by these two influential Democratic senators going against the administration and not supporting the deal?

M.E.: I’m not surprised. They’ve been critical before the unveiling (of the deal) and both of them have considerable foreign policy expertise. I think that Democrats need to consider the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on its merits. Loyalty to the party shouldn’t be the

illustration by dani pendergast art director

deciding factor.

B.S.: I was surprised that Schumer did because he is probably going to be the (Senate minority leader), and his position is obviously going to be important. On the other hand, Harry Reid came in favor of the deal and several Democratic colleagues quickly voiced their intention to vote in favor of the deal.

The D.O.: Do you believe the two senators’ opposition to the deal would ultimately lead fellow Democrats to vote against the deal?

M.E.: Every single (vote) counts because the majority of Americans don’t support the deal and it’s important that the American people have a voice. Even if the president doesn’t have to exercise a veto, bipartisan congressional opposition now will be helpful for later efforts to shore up the deal and limit its negative impact.

The D.O.: Michael Mandelbaum, a foreign policy specialist at Johns Hopkins University, wrote in “The American Interest” that in terms of power relations, the U.S. is stronger than Iran, but has given major concessions because it is “not willing to use the ultimate form of power and the Iranian leaders know

this.” Do you believe the U.S. could have pushed Iran further and gotten a better deal?

M.E.: Yes, because at the end of the day the Iranians needed the deal more than we did.

They are desperate to have the sanctions removed. Why? Because the public is fed up with Iran’s lagging economy and above all the regime needs to survive. Sanctions are what brought (Iranian President) Rouhani with the Ayatollah’s (Iran’s Supreme Leader) blessing to the table. U.S. negotiators ended up caving on every one of their initial red lines. As a result, the deal falls short of the administration’s stated goals. It will leave Iran as a nuclear threshold state, raise the prospect for war, spur a conventional and nuclear arms race and threaten our regional allies.

B.S.: No, I do not think that we could have gained any more. And here is what Americans do not understand about the art of compromise: compromise means you find some middle ground where neither side gets everything they want. But the ultimate solution is better for both sides than if they did not have some kind of compromised agreement. ssugiyam@syr.edu

su abroad not known because the policy is still new, SU Abroad officials said. SU students are able to obtain credit through SU Abroad centers and affiliated programs.

If students want to go to a specific location that the university does not offer, they can petition, but it must be done nine to 12 months prior to their enrollment date for the program.

That nine to 12 months gives SU time to work with the student and their college to see what classes can be taken that will go toward their degree, said Margaret Himley, associate provost for international education and engagement.

maldonado recognize that community policing is more than a slogan, it’s more than something on the side of a car,” Maldonado said.

First and foremost, this approach toward managing and leading DPS is predicated on effective communication, a skill that Maldonado has all but mastered during his long career in law enforcement and higher education.

Unassuming and soft-spoken, with a strong New York City accent, Maldonado does not look or sound like a macho police officer when he discusses his vision for DPS. “My desire is to make sure that people

ing courses that can fulfill the requirements needed to graduate, Himley said.

Prague, Copenhagen and Barcelona are frequently requested by students to be added as study abroad locations so the university will begin offering them this semester through the World Partners Program, Himley said. She added that SU is also currently looking into Brazil.

To increase the number of students going abroad, SU is partnering with Generation Study Abroad to pledge to increase the already above-average number by 10 percent.

Generation Study Abroad, a five-year program by the Institute of International Education, works to double the number of American students who study abroad by the end of the decade, according to their website.

Universities and partners in the private and public sectors publically commit to this nation-wide initiative, where each take on the responsibility of promoting study abroad

programs, said Raquel Battle, senior program coordinator of IIE Initiatives.

Currently, less than 10 percent of students in the U.S. study abroad, according to research done by Generation Study Abroad. However, currently about 48 percent of all SU students study abroad, according to an SU News release.

“Syracuse has a well-known study abroad program, and as a leader in the field, we thought it was important to be a part of this initiative,” said Jennifer Horvath, manager of marketing and communications for SU Abroad.

SU joined the program in May, pledging to increase the university’s study abroad enrollment by 10 percent.

“For a very long time, students in Newhouse, management and Arts and Sciences were able to study abroad because it was easier (with the class selection), but we are working with engineering, Falk College and the iSchool to develop programming for them to study

abroad,” Horvath said.

Horvath added that they are working with the colleges to get classes approved and developing programs that add value to students’ careers at SU. SU’s study abroad program allows students to choose from eight oversees centers located in Beijing, Florence, Hong Kong, Istanbul, London, Strasbourg, Madrid and Santiago, Chile. Students also have the option to study in 60 additional countries through SU’s World Partners Program.

Through creating classes and adding new locations, the university hopes to achieve its Generation Study Abroad goal.

“It is really important for students to realize, even if they thought they couldn’t (study abroad) because of classes or financial reasons, we want more students to go abroad and we will work with them however we can to help them go,” Horvath said. ablinan@syr.edu

understand what the real mission is here and how important I think community policing is and a peacekeeping role is,” Maldonado said.

In that same vein, Maldonado added that diversity is an important component of community policing.

“There’s an educational aspect when police departments start to populate with people of color,” he said. “Police departments should reflect the community in which they serve.”

Two of Maldonado’s three children, Carly and Lorenzo, are currently students at SU. However, this did not factor into Maldonado’s decision to come here, he said.

Maldonado started his career in law

enforcement as a young college graduate in the late ‘70s interested in criminal justice, but unable to afford law school. After applying for and being accepted by both the New York City Police Department and the New York State Police Department, Maldonado chose to move away from his birthplace, the Bronx, in order to work for the NYSP in Rochester.

“I wanted to branch out and leave New York City,” Maldonado said. “I thought that if

lege, which was his previous job before coming to SU. Since 1998, Maldonado taught criminal justice courses as an adjunct professor at the Rochester Institute for Technology. It was at RIT and Nazareth that he learned both how to communicate and connect with students, he said.

Using his experience, policing philosophy and communication skills, Maldonado went into Simson’s AAS 138 class prepared and determined to talk and form non-adversarial relationships with students, even amidst exploding tensions between police and the African-American community.

Everyone, including Simson, liked and even bonded with Maldonado.

“He understood how they felt and he understood the importance of recognizing the feelings and concerns that young black men have about these issues,” Simson said. “He was thoughtful and considerate and professional. I was very impressed.”

By the end of the class, Maldonado had listened to the frustrations of students firsthand, talked about his peacekeeping policing philosophy and committed to meeting with student groups on campus.

“I want faculty and staff to understand that I’m accessible and I think it’s important that I communicate consistently with students especially,” he said. “That’s why we’re here.” rsandler@syr.edu

Awareness integral to body cams’ success The Department of Public Safety’s implementation of a body camera program is a policy that needs to be clearly communicated to the student body for it to reach its full potential as a safety measure.

Starting Oct. 1, all 36 armed public safety officers at SU will be required to wear body cameras while on duty. Last year, body cameras were used on a trial basis.

“Our decision to proceed with body cameras was a proactive decision, not a reactive decision,” said newly appointed Department of Public Safety Chief Bobby Maldonado in an interview with The Daily Orange.

The implementation of the body camera program is a positive reflection of the university and will ensure transparency of interaction between public safety officers and the student body. It is an exemplary

measure that keeps the university ahead of the curve in light of recent events surrounding law enforcement using excessive force.

In order for the program to function fairly and effectively, the university must work to establish that all students will be aware of the use of recording equipment when interacting with public safety officers on campus as students have the right to know that they may be recorded on SU grounds.

This education process must be thorough, and should potentially involve students acknowledging that they are aware of the program on their MySlice accounts.

Maldonado said the university spent $1,000 per camera for a total of $36,000 spent on body cameras.

This investment will prove beneficial in that it functions to create the documentation necessary for full

transparency on behalf of both the university and the student body.

The footage, which will be downloaded onto a private server upon competition of each officer’s shift, could be used as evidence by the district attorney to prosecute cases and released for public viewing on a case-by-case basis, as decided by Maldonado. While releasing every requested recording would be excessive, the university must be forthcoming in disclosing footage when necessary.

Though there has never been a DPS-involved shooting on the SU campus, instances of police brutality and resulting protests across the country have been consistent national stories. Implementing body cameras, if students are aware of them, can help DPS avoid the circumstances that surrounded many of those instances.

Generation Y’s high-tech lives do not make relationships easy. The perception of maintaining relationships is key to the justification of social media use. Yet, it is important to note that the actual effectiveness of online social networks at establishing and maintaining relationships has not been proven.

Technology is often a point of tension in romantic relationships. For the modern couple, constant contact is love. Because technology allows it, lovebirds expect to maintain all-day communication via iMessage. If Bae doesn’t text back for a few hours, it

is safe to assume they either died or aren’t loyal, even though they probably just fell asleep. It is not unusual for couples to monitor each other’s iPhones in search of transgressions to get salty about.

In addition to constantly proving their love to each other, couples must also validate it to the world. Facebook Official (FBO) status is recommended. Vows of love on Instagram in the form of paragraph-long anniversary captions are common.

Thanks to technology, Generation Y plays epic mind games. To start a fling with a millennial, wait a day before following them back on Twitter to avoid looking eager. Facebook stalk them back to their prom pics. Confer with friends before throwing the double text. Like Instagram posts. Send Snapchats while

ignoring texts.

Technology has completely changed the game of love. Spouses can turn to websites with the motto: “Life is short. Have an affair.”

Affection is conveyed through kissy emojis instead of the words “I like you.” Millennials have tough conversations screen-to-screen, scraping basic interactions clean of important elements like tone, eye contact and expression.

Does anyone else think this is complicated? Love is more of a puzzle than ever, and then we wonder why millennials marry later in life than any other generation in history.

SU alumni fund political satire card game with Kickstarter

T

he idea for a political version of Cards Against Humanity was born in a burrito shop.

Seven months ago, Justin Robert Young, a Syracuse University alumnus, wanted to develop a quick, easy-to-understand game for when guests were still arriving at a party. Meanwhile, his co-worker John Teasdale was thinking about creating a game that played like a conversation.

Fifteen minutes and two burritos later, Young and Teasdale had created The Contender, a political debate card game in the style of Cards Against Humanity and Apples to Apples. They organized a Kickstarter campaign for the game that began in early August and wrapped up Sunday night.

The Contender’s Kickstarter reached its $15,000 goal within 24 hours, and ended with 2,698 backers who pledged $142,552. Because of this huge success, the team now plans to sell The Contender on

Syracuse University alumna Kate Lemay said she landed her dream job this summer, as she began writing and researching artwork for the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Wa s h i n g t on , D.C. Considered KATE LEMAY to be the premier hub of American biographies, the National Portrait Gallery features portraits of Americans from a multitude of time periods and from all walks of life.

Lemay, who graduated in 2001 with degrees in art history and French, evaluates art pieces and decides if the work holds historical significance and should be placed in the gallery. Lemay took some time away from her research to reflect on her time at SU, talk The Daily Orange about her new position and discuss her favorite pieces in the gallery.

The Daily Orange: How do you think art helps tell the story of American history?

Kate Lemay: Art is kind of a window. It sort of creates a bridge between the here and now moments. A moment may not be as approachable, but if you put a face on a person that you can relate to, that relationship and that rapport that the viewer develops with the object helps to transport their time and create a kind of understanding. I never could deal with facts and figures and dates and dry reading, I always needed that kind of transportation that art offers. So, for me at least, it really works.

D.O.: How do you think SU influenced your career path?

K.L.: I think Syracuse — that was a time that I was 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 — I can’t remember how old I was now, I think 19-22, but that’s a time during which if

Students should understand every contraception available to them

T

he first time I went to the OB/GYN I was 17 and naive. I was abruptly awakened to the process when a lady in her late forties asked me to spread my legs and promptly shoved her fingers inside of me all the while maintaining a conversation about her son’s college process. As she sat back and removed her gloves, she cocked her head to one side and asked, “So what type of contraception would you like?”

What type? Here I was thinking I would just saunter in and ask for the pill, but after being felt up and swabbed, I was being asked to choose when I was unaware I had different options.

The baffled look on my face must have been evident as she continued on how I could choose between vaginal rings, diaphragms, IUDs (intrauterine devices), patches, shots, implants, the pill…

Still overwhelmed by the entire situation, I jumped at the familiar word “pill” and hastily mumbled I would take that. Feeling that the visit had gone on for entirely too long, I

motioned to get up but not before she lightly tapped my arm and said, “Even with the pill, promise me you will always use condoms.” I agreed, more to get out of the office than to protect myself from STDs and pregnancy.

When I got home, I sat myself down and dedicated a good 90 minutes to Google, trying to decipher all of the contraception options I had just been enlightened to. I learned that the diaphragm is a flexible cup which your doctor can mold to your vagina and blocks any sperm from entering. I learned that the patch and the ring work much like the pill as they contain estrogen, but they save you the hassle of remembering to take something every day.

9 must-have wardrobe options to wear around campus this fall

I

t’s time for back to school, which means stocking your wardrobe with everything you’ll need for the year, or at least the semester. Incorporate these 10 items into your wardrobe to make the most of fashion meets function.

A great leather jacket:Throughout September and most of October, you won’t need a super heavy coat. A leather jacket will keep you warm while also adding edge to your style.

A black biker-style goes with almost everything in your closet and can take any boring outfit up a notch.

A plaid flannel shirt: Nothing says fall like a cozy flannel, but this piece can also transition into winter. Wear it with denim shorts now and layer it under a chunky sweater and coat when the temperatures drop. Flannel shirts look better the more authentic-looking they are, so skip Urban Outfitters and search for a worn-in one at a thrift store like 3fifteen in Marshall Square Mall or even Goodwill.

Trendy jewelry: In Syracuse weather, it can be difficult to look fashion-forward all the time — you’ll be tempted to throw on leggings, and your boots and coat don’t help the look. Instead of investing your money into seasonal trends that won’t last more than a year and will be nearly impossible to survive the winter in, opt for inexpensive jewelry trends to elevate your style.

A simple sweater looks chic when paired with a long drop necklace or a choker necklace set.

Cute snow boots: You’ll be living in snow boots all winter, so make sure to get a pair you really love. That being said, don’t sacrifice your toes for fashion — make sure you get a durable, warm pair. I recommend Sorel boots; the Conquest Carly Boot is functional and stylish (or as stylish as snow boots can get).

A felt floppy hat: If there is one clothing

JACKIE HOMAN

PROBABLY WEARING PAJAMAS item that can transform an outfit, it’s a hat.

A felt floppy hat is on-trend and popular with bloggers and magazines, but a surprisingly few number of people actually wear one around. A hat is bold, but it can pull together your outfit — and hide a bad hair day.

A fun jumpsuit: It’s no secret that ‘Cuse kids like to party. But even if you’re hopping around house parties and frats, you don’t need to submit to a boring bodycon dress. Instead, show off your style with a cool jumpsuit. You’ll stand out from the crowd in a good way.

Black leggings: When you have to wear boots, it’s hard to get creative with your pants.

Flowy and wide-leg pants are in fashion, but those are pretty hard to pull off with snow boots on. Still, you don’t have to wear the same boring black-stretch leggings every day.

Mix up your look with a few different kinds— try leather, biker style or corduroy.

A business-casual blazer: At some point in the year, you will be asked to dress in business casual attire. If you’re in Whitman, this will probably happen a lot. In any case, a good black blazer will come in handy more than you think. You can even dress it down with boyfriend jeans and a cute tank for class.

A warm parka: Stand out from a sea of The North Face and Canada Goose with a more fashion-forward parka. Of course you will need it to be warm enough, but as long as you have proper boots, gloves, and a hat, you won’t need to overdo it on the coat.

and helps to produce an increased amount of cervical mucus that helps to curb sperm travel.

I learned that an IUD is a “T” shaped device that does indeed work for years at a time. And I learned that just like my OB/GYN had warned, regardless of your contraception, you should still always wrap it before you tap it.

Two years later, my OB/GYN checkups have become significantly less stressful. I am still opting to take the pill, as it’s easy to obtain in college. For anyone who is sexually active and not on contraception in college — while I cannot force my opinions on you — you absolutely should be. You can go to either Syracuse University Health Services or the local Planned Parenthood, conveniently located at 1120 E. Genesee St., to discuss your options.

I also now consider myself a condom enthusiast. Even if you’re confident in your personal form of contraception, you should never put your full trust into any one method, not to mention STDs are very real on campus

smithsonian you don’t know what to do with the rest of your life, that is perfectly OK. And, in fact, you’re exactly where you should be because that’s a time when you should explore all of these different options, and Syracuse really offered a lot of different venues for me to try things out. I was in Newhouse first semester and I was studying television, radio and film, and then I was like, “What the hell am I doing here? This is crazy.” I was a really good writer, but it just wasn’t for me. So, I went back to Arts and Sciences, and I was surrounded by people in the Visual and Performing Arts College. I was really interested in the type of hands-on work that they were doing, and they got me roped into going to figure studying drawing classes that were open to all students.

the contender throughout the Kickstarter campaign. They brought back the infamous campaign button, decking them out with satirical slogans and giving them away as promotional pieces.

Paradise said that this historical aspect also ties into the game. The cards aren’t printed with random debate-style answers that the creators made up; the quotes are taken from actual presidential candidates.

“It’s not just a game with contemporary political cards; it spans the gamut throughout history,” Paradise said.

In the beginning, they planned to crank out the game as quickly as possible, maybe only as a printable PDF version, Teasdale said. But the game kept getting better and demanded more of their attention.

“It was too good of an idea to give it a half-effort,” Teasdale said.

It doesn’t hurt that The Contender is com-

and elsewhere. According to the SU Health Services website, one in two people will experience some sort of STD in their life.

While condoms are fairly cheap — a box of 36 Trojans will only put you out about 17 bucks — SU Health Services has a table next to their pharmacy that is stocked with free condoms, lubricants and even dental dams. They also tell RAs and members of certain organizations such as fraternities and sororities that they are able to go to the front desk and ask for a bag of condoms to take back to their hall or house to share.

Personally, I think it’s less awkward to just always have a condom. If you just grab one from your RA or from Health Services or even just buy your own, then that intimate moment can’t be ruined by the awkward realization that neither of you are prepared.

to face.” It’s by this artist named Joseph Siffred Duplessis and it’s a really nice portrait of Ben Franklin, who was not only an important American, but my father actually wrote about Ben Franklin; my dad was a Franklin Scholar.

My dad died in 2008, so of course that’s sort of missing him, but when I see this Franklin portrait I’m like, “Hey, what’s up dad?” It’s this weird indirect connection I have with my father, who was like a mentor.

D.O.: How has it been and what have you experienced the past few months working at the National Portrait Gallery?

K.L.: It’s been great; I have no complaints.

I’ve been doing things that I love, which is research and writing. I’m fortunate because my colleagues are really nice and they’re funny. The institution is a healthy and vibrant place. This is the dream job. I’ve been around enough to know that this is a really good job. When you’ve gotten experience and you’ve gone through a career, even though I am still in the beginning of my career, I have some experience, and I’m just really happy. slgozins@syr.edu

BACK TO COOL

4 outfits to work into every student’s back-to-school wardrobes during fall semester Text By Alexis McDonell staff writer

Photos By Moriah Ratner asst. photo editor

S

chool’s back in session and we all want to put our best foot (covered in a stylish boot, heel, flat or sandal, of course) forward. Everyone’s dressed to impress and trying to embrace the last bit of warm weather. Here’s how to wear some of this fall’s top trends so you’re the chicest student in the classroom.

1

Flower Child It’s time to embrace your inner hippie because the ‘70s are back and here to stay. Bring out the denim, fringe, lace and florals for a free-spirited

feel. This trend is all about flowy silhouettes and comfort. Wide-leg patterned pants, peasant blouses, lace shifts, suede skirts and fringe vests are all you need to look like you did a little time traveling. Check your mom’s closet to see if she has anything left from the carefree days of The Beatles and the Eagles. Peace dude.

2 Mod Maven

When it comes to necklines this fall, the higher the better. Turtlenecks are no longer just items you find in your grandma’s closet or see on a nun. By having a higher collar you can show a little more skin elsewhere in your outfit — an open back or a shorter skirt. Balance is key.

You can also play it up by experimenting with different silhouettes — a loose turtleneck dress

like I’m wearing or a tight-fitting short-sleeve turtleneck paired with a buttoned-down A-line skirt. The possibilities are endless.

3 Plaid Princess

Tap into your outdoorsy side with this cozy flannel and Sherpa number. Pair plaids with comfy jeans, leather boots and furry vests to keep you warm as the weather starts to get gold (or if you get those random professors that like to blast the AC). You’ll be the cutest lumberjack out there. Stay cozy, look good, feel good.

Whether it’s looking flirty in a pair of flare jeans, fun in a denim shift, cozy in a plaid flannel or sophisticated in a turtleneck dress, there is a trend this fall for everyone. This is

the year to dress up and excite everyone with your new flair. Keep calm and style on.

4 Bell-bottom Babe

Skinny jeans are no more. Just kidding, but you no longer have to restrict your jeans to fit tight around the ankles. If you’re not feeling full-on bell-bottoms that start to flare at the knees, don’t fret. There are a wide variety of widths out there, so you can get the right amount of flare. You can easily dress flares up with a button-down and blazer with wedges for work or a plain white tee and sandals for class. Go big or go home.

Rhynhart’s improved finishing adds potential scoring threat

By Chris Libonati asst. copy editor

Noah Rhynhart scored two goals in the 2011 New York state club championship for Blackwatch Midlothian. The moment serves as Charles Rhynhart’s favorite memory of watching his son play soccer, but also as an aspect of Noah’s game that he’s trying to recapture this season — his scoring touch.

“He was far above his peers in (speed and finishing ability), which made him a special player,” Jeff Rockmore, an assistant coach for Rhynhart’s club team said.

But in 46 games at No. 15 Syracuse (1-1), Rhynhart has converted just two shots and taken 12. A senior, Rhynhart is stepping into more playing time and an increased scoring role in his last season at SU. The departure of about one-third of Syracuse’s offense from last season has left a void that Rhynhart will have to help fill. After coming to Syracuse as a Top 150 recruit in the ESPN Rise rankings, he’s started two games in parts of four seasons.

“Hopefully I can show (that I’ve improved my finishing) this year because, for a forward, I don’t have as many goals as I’d like in my career,” Rhynhart said.

Rhynhart’s transition to the college game flipped his role. In high school, his teammates pushed the ball to him to score, Roslyn Jefferson, Rhynhart’s mother said. At Syracuse, he pushes the ball to teammates and has come off the bench.

The transition wasn’t a simple one. Rhynhart enrolled at Syracuse early in the 2012 spring semester, but a misdiagnosed broken leg sidelined him, Charles Rhynhart said. Rhynhart missed practices, having to sit and watch his teammates play while he did core exercises on the sideline, but his mother doesn’t think the injury set her son back in his development.

After missing time in his freshman season, Rhynhart sat behind newer players like Chris Nanco and Emil Ekblom in his sophomore and junior seasons. Ekblom led SU in scoring and started every game in 2013, while Rhynhart played just 13 of 21 games. “(Ekblom’s) a tough guy to try to knock out of the lineup,” Charles Rhynhart said.

Approaching this season with Syracuse, Rhynhart knows this is his last chance.

When he’s gone home during the summer, he’s worked with local club teams that have college-caliber coaches and players, Rockmore said. Rhynhart has worked on his ball-striking ability, including the angle he approaches the ball when he shoots, according to Rockmore.

Rhynhart also said he’s learned to get shots off quicker, gaining confidence and shedding timidity that plagued him earlier in his career.

He was named team MVP after the spring season, his father said.

“I’m seeing the team put the ball up to him more readily and kind of more trusting relationship,” Charles Rhynhart said.

Adding finishing ability to his speed makes him a potentially dangerous pairing with Nanco,

NOAH RHYNHART worked on his scoring ability heading into the season. The senior forward sat behind Chris Nanco and Emil Ekblom on the depth chart in previous years, but his role has been expanded early on in 2015.

SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. Rhynhart said when the two are on the field, their speed can help stretch the defense.

Rhynhart’s father describes his son’s playing style as passing the ball to teammates and making off-ball runs instead of dribbling through the defense, which can help him play off of Nanco and vice versa.

Despite Rhynhart’s improvements, he is goalless in three exhibitions and two regular season games this season, and he knows his role could be diminished if he can’t produce.

“At the end of the day,” Rhynhart said, “for the forwards, it’s whoever’s scoring the goals is going to play.” cjlibono@syr.edu | @ChrisLibonati

Orange completes California sweep with 4-1 win over UP

By Liam Sullivan staff writer

The No. 4 Orange (3-0) finished its California road trip with a 4-1 win over Pacific (1-1) to sweep all three teams it played.

For the third game in a row, Syracuse struck first and pulled ahead early. Alma Fenne notched her first career goal off of a penalty corner 19 minutes into play. Emma Lamison followed Fenne with a goal of her own just 50 seconds later. Following a Pacific turnover, Lamison moved the ball past two defenders into the circle, shot and scored to make it 2-0.

The Orange and Lamison scored once more in the first half after the junior forward found the back of the net from the left side to give her team a 3-0 lead heading to halftime.

Syracuse controlled play in its first two games and Monday was no different. The

shooting season

Orange outshot No. 6 Stanford, UC Davis and Pacific by a combined 28 shots. On Monday, SU dominated those scoring attempts in the first half, 10-6, but Pacific finished with the same number of shots, 13, for the game. Syracuse held a 6-3 advantage in penalty corner attempts.

Syracuse rounded out its scoring with an Alyssa Manley goal after she assisted on two scores in the first half.

What would have been back-to-back shutouts for SU was spoiled by a goal from Pacific’s Leah Cofer when she redirected an Ali Campos shot past goalkeeper Jess Jecko. The goal came with under five minutes remaining in a game that wasn’t in doubt.

packed buses heading from Main Campus to the soccer field.

The Orange’s average attendance filled 94.9 percent of its stadium capacity — the sixth-highest percentage in all of Division-I soccer. Louisville, the closest ACC school on that list, satisfied just 67.4 percent of its capacity.

SU’s five times surpassing the seating capacity of the field accounted for nearly half of its home games. Only two other schools in the ACC — Boston College and Louisville — broke their seating max more than once.

“When we’ve played well and had a good atmosphere our stadium has been cooking,” McIntyre said. “It’s not just a soccer match, it’s an event.”

The only two schools in the ACC with smaller stadiums — Boston College and Pittsburgh — were the worst teams in the conference, combining for just one ACC win. Boston College’s venue fits 1,000 fans while Pittsburgh’s holds 735.

On the other end, Clemson’s 28-year-old venue boasts a 6,500-person capacity and recently underwent renovations. Louisville unveiled an $18.5 million soccer complex in 2014 that fits over 5,300 and Pasanen called “amazing.”

“Those stadiums are always tough to play in when the other team has that many fans in the crowd,” Nanco said.

SU Soccer Stadium, which opened in 1996, pales in comparison to the size of fields of the other top teams around the conference.

Nanco and Pasanen said they like SU Soccer Stadium’s compact layout and the ability for fans to stand or sit practically on the field. It creates a feeling of togetherness, Nanco added, while Pasanen said he doesn’t want to see seats go up on the hill.

Due to limited space in bleachers, Syracuse fans had no choice but to stand on the hill behind one of the goals at SU Soccer Stadium, which holds 1,500 people. When the hill filled up, fans stood behind the field’s fence next to East Colvin Street. logan reidsma photo editor

McIntyre doesn’t know whether or not fans would fill a 5,000-person stadium and said any changes to the soccer facilities aren’t his decision to make. Though there are nice stadiums around the country, he said, he wouldn’t swap out SU Soccer Stadium for another.

“You want a facility where, on certain occasions, you have it packed to the rafters and we’ve been able to do that the last couple years,” McIntyre said. “… We’ve got to ensure that we keep playing well and keep bringing people back and if there becomes a problem then that becomes a good problem to have.” jrmettus@syr.edu

Syracuse’s game-week preparations for Rhode Island will officially begin with Tuesday’s practice after Scott Shafer gave his team an off day Monday. Training camp ended Sunday with a “mock game” in the Carrier Dome, and here are the top three takeaways from the Orange’s preseason.

State of the defensive line Two of the Orange’s most important defensive linemen, senior defensive end Ron Thompson and senior defensive tackle John Raymon, were limited throughout training camp.

Raymon wore a brace on his right arm and Thompson a boot on his left foot. They were worn often during the first 20 minutes of practice open to the media, though both are listed as starters on the depth chart for week one.

Freshman defensive end Qaadir Sheppard and freshman defensive tackle Steven Clark both made the two-deep depth chart, along with upperclassmen defensive ends Luke Arciniega and Donnie Simmons. But for a defensive line from 2014 already weakened by graduation, Thompson and Raymon’s health will be pivotal.

Youth in the second tier Two freshmen and a junior will start for Syracuse’s linebacking corps a year after seniors Cam Lynch and Dyshawn Davis anchored the unit.

Sophomore Zaire Franklin has been the face of the defense throughout training camp and was named a captain Saturday night along with 23-year-old Luke Arciniega and fifth-year seniors Terrel Hunt and Rob Trudo.

Second-year linebacker Parris Bennett won the third spot after impressing Shafer with his athleticism and explosion around the edge in camp. Marqez Hodge, a junior, is the returning starter and will start at the weakside linebacker spot.

Brisly’s back At Shafer’s first media opportunity of training camp, he said last season he was hesitant putting then-sophomore Brisly Estime on the punt return unit because he was prone to injuries.

Estime only played in five games last season due to injury, but after training camp Shafer’s trust in the junior’s health seems to be fine.

Estime is listed as a starter at wide receiver, kick returner and punt returner for the season-opener against Rhode Island. mcschnei@syr.edu | @Matt_Schneidman

URI coach discusses SU game Jim Fleming hopes to compete in ”hostile” Dome

he lines to buy tickets into SU Soccer Stadium stretched through the parking lot and nearly to Manley Field House. Any seating available in the bleachers filled up well before kickoff and fans were sent to the hill in front of East Colvin Street to watch the game.

The aftermath was a scene of trash, torn up grass and mud on the hill as a record 2,533 fans watched Syracuse beat Duke and advance to the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament semifinals on a chilly 45-degree day in early November. It topped the previous record of 2,442 set just two months earlier against then-No. 4 Notre Dame.

“Best atmosphere ever,” senior midfielder Juuso Pasanen said. “I love when the hill gets packed, oh my goodness. It feels good every time.”

Five times during the best-ever season for the Orange, the number of fans exceeded the seating capacity of SU Soccer Stadium, turning the trampled hill into a common occurrence.

But despite being one of the top teams in the ACC last season and in the top half in average attendance, Syracuse has the third-smallest venue with a maximum seating capacity of 1,500 fans. With the support of the team growing and new attendance records being set, fans are pushing the venue to its limit.

“As the program grows, that crowd keeps coming out,” junior forward Chris Nanco said. “… We love the support.”

Rhode Island head coach Jim Fleming hopes that it will be “anybody’s game” in the fourth quarter. He expects the Carrier Dome will be hostile on Friday night and he’s planning to use a quarterback that’s never played at the Division I level, but still has high expectations of his team in its season opener against Syracuse.

“At the end of the day, we get on a bus, I hope we got a tape that shows a team that plays very physical, very hard and plays within themselves and don’t make stupid penalties that hurt you,” Fleming said. “This game is all about that. Particularly the first game.”

Syracuse hosts Rhode Island on Friday in its season opener. The Rams finished last season 1-11, while getting outscored 402-137 in their losses. When asked what the best-case scenario for his team was against SU during Monday’s Colonial Athletic Association teleconference, Fleming never mentioned a win.

“What you’re hoping for is a clean operation on offense, defense and special teams,” Fleming said.

“And not let the environment get you distracted and be able to execute your plays.”

The head coach said he was watching old tapes of SU offensive coordinator Tim Lester’s previous coaching stops. Lester has implemented a new type of offense in the offseason, and Syracuse has mostly been tight-lipped about the types of plays it plans to run come Sept. 4.

With Paul Mroz, a junior college transfer, now starting behind center, there’s uncertainty for a young offense that struggled mightily a season ago. Against SU, Fleming hopes his defense holds up against the Orange’s new-look offense.

“We’ve got as good a beat as we can on it,” Fleming said. “Obviously, it’s going to come down to game-time adjustments once we see things we’re unprepared for.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3
