HANNA STRONG SPEAKS OUT Editor’s note: Hanna Strong released this statement in an email to The Daily Orange on Tuesday night. Strong’s statement is in response to a video of her using racist and homophobic language, which went viral on Saturday.

STATEMENT FROM HANNA STRONG I don’t know how to express how truly sorry I am for my actions displayed in the recent online video. The words I chose are equally cruel and hurtful and do not reflect in any way how I view those it may have offended. The video does not accurately represent who I am or the person I strive to become. However, I put myself in a situation that resulted in this behavior and I take all the responsibility for my actions. To the Black and LGBT Communities, Coach Wheddon, Dr. Gross, both the athletic and academic community that is Syracuse University, and to my family, friends, and all those that have supported me: My sincere regret and apologies.

Student robbed at gunpoint on Comstock Ave. on Tuesday By Dylan Segelbaum staff writer

A Syracuse University student was robbed at gunpoint late Tuesday in a

parking lot about two minutes from the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, Syracuse police said. Here’s what police said happened: The student, 21, pulled into a lot

at her apartment on the 100 block of Comstock Avenue at about 9:50 p.m. and parked. When she was on her phone, a man opened the passenger door of

her car and demanded money. After the student said she did not have any, the man stole her phone and then ran away toward East Genesee Street.

Police said the man showed a black semi-automatic handgun during the robbery. dmsegelb@syr.edu @Dylan_Segelbaum

New York high court hears oral arguments in Boeheim case By Dylan Segelbaum staff writer

ALBANY, N.Y. — Almost three years after two former Syracuse University ball boys sued Jim Boeheim over his comments that they were lying about being sexually abused to get a payday, oral arguments held Tues-

day in New York state’s high court seemed to focus on one question. “Is it opinion or fact?” Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman of the New York Court of Appeals said. “He clearly stated our clients lied about being sexually abused,” said Mariann Wang, an attorney for Bobby Davis and Mike Lang, the

two former ball boys who allege former associate head men’s basketball coach Bernie Fine abused them. An attorney from each side had 10 minutes to present their argument to the court. Wang said the “reasonable reader” could conclude Boeheim was referencing facts others would not know and, thus, his

statements defending Fine were not opinions protected under free speech. Arguing for Boeheim and SU, Helen Cantwell said Boeheim was upset at the allegations against Fine and was trying to protect his reputation following the Pennsylvania State University scandal. SU fired Fine on Nov. 27, 2011.

He has denied all wrongdoing and was not charged after an almost yearlong federal investigation.

Here’s how we got here:

Buddhist chaplain leads students in meditation By Jesse Nichols staff writer

After becoming a Buddhist nun, Bonnie Shoultz shaved her head as a symbol of leaving home and renounced attachments to material things, relationships and expectations. Shoultz, the Buddhist chaplain and head of the Syracuse University Student Buddhist Association, has since been helping students cope with depression, anxiety and stress by offering meditation sessions. She has been offering these services for almost 10 years after retiring from the School of Education in 2005. “I ended up coming here to Hendricks Chapel to learn meditation, and I wanted to experience more about what it was all about,” Shoultz said. “It called to me. I guess you would call it a vocation.” This vocation has since lead to her chaplaincy and to her leadership of the Student Buddhist Association, which offers six meditation sessions per week. Shoultz said these meditation sessions have had multiple benefits on students of all different faiths and are being integrated into the campus

curriculum, including a new minor offered by the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics. “If you really want to move forward, you should have an academic base,” Shoultz said. Shoultz knows the benefits of meditation from firsthand experience, as she struggled with addiction before and after being ordained. “In the case of many (monks) who are in an urban setting, we do have a home, we do have relationships, we do have possessions and we may even have addictive behaviors,” she said. Shoultz’s own personal addiction was computer games, the most recent being the Chinese tile game Mahjong, which was initially hard for her to give up. Years have passed and she still has refrained from playing. Now, as Shoultz balances religious life and her own personal urban life, she continues to focus on leaving the door to Buddhism open for curious students. “Almost everyone that comes to Buddhism comes through suffering and some inside knowledge that there must be a better way,” Shoultz said. jlnich02@syr.edu

Few voters cast ballots in New York primary By Michael Passalacqua contributing writer

Tuesday’s primary elections at E.S. Bird Library produced a small number of voters. The Democratic ballot included three candidates vying for the Democratic nomination for New York state governor as well as candidates for lieutenant governor and city court judge. The New

York Times reported that, with 43 percent of precincts reporting, current Gov. Andrew Cuomo won the gubernatorial primary with 60.4 percent of the vote, and Kathy Hochul, a Syracuse University alumna and Cuomo’s running mate, won the primary for lieutenant governor. The Conservative ballot featured a candidate for Onondaga County sheriff with a write in option.

The turnout, which was expected to be low, saw only seven voters show up at the polls between noon and 7 p.m, said Tim Liebe, an election inspector. Only a few more were expected by closing at 9 p.m. Liebe credits the low turnout to the fact that no one is encouraged to vote. “The people that truly believe are the ones that come out and vote,” he said. “Not enough people

are being convinced that they need to believe.” Primaries have historically low turnout rates at Bird, with the last primary bringing in only four voters total, Liebe said. With more than 700 democrats registered to vote at Bird and only four voters by 5 p.m., the turnout rate was less than 1 percent for the first half of the day. see primary page 8

A call for campus dialogue Members of Pride Union, LGBT Resource Center react to comments By Brett Samuels asst. news editor

In the wake of the viral video that shows women’s soccer player Hanna Strong using derogatory language, some members of the LGBTQ community at Syracuse University are saying the incident should lead to a dialogue on campus about identity. Strong, a senior midfielder on the SU women’s soccer team, was recorded calling an unknown person a “f*ggot-a** n*gger” in a video that was posted online Saturday and went viral. Head coach Phil Wheddon suspended Strong from the team the

lawsuit to Onondaga County. There, state Supreme Court Justice Brian DeJoseph on May 11, 2012, threw out the lawsuit, ruling in a 30-page decision that Boeheim’s comments were opinions protected under free speech. — An intermediate state appellate court in Rochester on Oct. 4 upheld the decision to throw out the lawsuit 3-2. — The two dissenting appellate judges wrote Boeheim’s comments could be considered “mixed opinion” — meaning it was implied his statements were based on “insider knowledge.” With “mixed opinion” statements, someone can be found liable for defamation in New York state. Wang appealed six days later. On Tuesday, Chief Judge Lippman called the case at 2 p.m. — pronouncing Boeheim’s last name “Bah-heim” — opening up the approximately 25-minute hearing that seemed contentious at times in the ornate courtroom adorned by portraits of more than 100 former Court of Appeals judges. During Wang’s arguments, the judges repeatedly asked if the Penn State scandal affected the context of Boeheim’s comments. Wang said Boeheim made “factual statements” that could be proven wrong and were defamatory — including when Boeheim said Fine did not abuse them and they had sought money several times. By doing so, she said, Boeheim suggested the two had committed extortion as well as falsely reporting abuse. “How is that fact and not opinion?” said Senior Associate Judge Victoria Graffeo, who then asked whether the “reasonable reader” could conclude Boeheim was worried about

the reputation of his “football program.” Chief Judge Lippman then asked if Boeheim’s reaction was normal given the situation and at what point comments like these would become defamatory. But it does not matter if Boeheim was emotional, Wang said, as that does not allow someone to defame another person. Cantwell, arguing on behalf of Boeheim and SU, said he was emotional when the allegations arose. Several judges asked about Boeheim’s decision to issue a statement and give four separate interviews. A few also questioned why his comments were very specific, including that one of the stepbrothers only traveled when they babysat Fine’s children. Boeheim has a reputation for “bluntness,” Cantwell said. And in every article about his response to the sexual abuse allegations against Fine, she said, the Penn State scandal is also mentioned. “The question on everyone’s mind is, ‘What does Jim Boeheim know?’” Cantwell said. “Is he Joe Paterno?” she added, referring to the former Penn State head football coach. The hearing in the defamation lawsuit, coincidentally, came a day after Penn State’s sanctions were lifted. At the end of the arguments, Wang was given several minutes for rebuttal. Judge Robert Smith asked, using her argument, whether someone would have to “keep their mouth shut” if allegations were made against a friend. She said the case would be different if Boeheim had simply expressed disbelief about the allegations and said he stood by Fine. “If he had just said that, I don’t think we’d be here,” Wang said. dmsegelb@syr.edu | @dylan_segelbaum

Information can improve voter turnout In order to increase voter turnout rates among college students, Syracuse University and campus political organizations should better publicize how students can register to vote. The New York State Board of Elections should also make the process of registering to vote more accessible to students. As of 5 p.m. on Tuesday, only four students had shown up to E.S. Bird Library to vote for the primary elections. Out of the 700 democrats at SU registered to vote, the voter turnout rate was extremely low, at less than 1 percent. Overall, the turnout rates for primary elections tend to be lower than general elections. A report from the Center for the Study of the American Electorate revealed that only 1.4 percent of eligible Republicans in New York state voted in the 2012 Republican primary. Some of

these lost votes were from college students. In order to improve the voter turnout rate and encourage students to become knowledgeable about politics, the university and campus organizations should better promote where, when and how to vote. For example, SU News should include in its emails where voting will take place. Publicizing that voting is happening in such a central location on campus could encourage students to vote because of its convenience. For the upcoming election in November, SU News should start including the information in its emails well in advance of the election. Student organizations, such as College Democrats and College Republicans, should also reach out to their classmates to inform them

about primary location and dates. Another aspect of voting that deters students is the confusion of voting eligibility. According to elections.ny.gov, students only have to live at their present address at least 30 days before an election. The university should consider adding in its orientation packet for incoming freshmen and transfer students that out-of-state students have the opportunity to vote, and explain the registration process. There is currently no online registration process. In order to encourage more students to vote, the New York State Board of Elections should also consider adding an online application. Students should make an effort to vote even if it’s inconvenient. However, more students might show up to vote if the information they need to do so is better publicized.

Alternatives to minimum wage should be considered to fight poverty

very so often, the resounding crusade to raise the federal minimum wage picks up steam. The latest cry came from President Barack Obama on Labor Day as he admonished House Republicans for refusing to raise the federal minimum wage. I applaud the GOP for standing its ground on such an important issue. Raising the minimum wage is a costly tool to fight poverty. Less costly alternatives need to be considered, specifically the earned income tax credit. Many supporters of raising the federal minimum wage believe that people should have a “living wage.” Unfortunately, economics are not that simple. Raising the federal minimum wage would eliminate about 500,000

jobs from the U.S. economy by 2016, according to a Feb. 20 Wall Street Journal article. In an economy that is already struggling and a U-6 unemployment — unemployed plus underemployed and those who have given up looking for work — rate at 12 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, this is something the federal government cannot afford to do. Raising the minimum wage increases the cost to hire workers, therefore, many firms will be forced to either cut hours or fire employees. Some may cry foul against businesses for not swallowing the increased

cost of hiring unskilled workers, but businessmen and businesswomen are economic actors, not moral actors. One of the major arguments for raising the minimum wage is that it would lift workers out of poverty. According to the Congressional Budget Office, this argument has validity. The CBO reports that 900,000 people would be lifted out of poverty by 2016. Contrary to popular belief, I, along with many other conservatives, am not heartless. Plenty of right-wingers want to see as few people in poverty as possible. Lowering the poverty rate is achievable through raising the federal minimum wage, however it comes with a heavy cost of lost jobs. A very viable alternative to this costly solution would be to expand the earned income tax credit. The EITC is a refundable tax

credit for working families based off of their income and number of children. Expanding this tax measure would ensure that hard-working families get the tax break they deserve. According to the Brookings Institution, the extension of the EITC and child tax credit from the 2009 Recovery Act lowered the poverty rate by 2.8 percent. In addition, the child poverty rate was reduced by 6.8 percent in 2011, based on the Supplemental Poverty Measure provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. Clearly, the EITC is an effective anti-poverty measure that is workcentered and especially beneficial for children, without the cost of losing jobs in a sluggish economy. It is also much more politically feasible than raising the minimum wage. The Democrats would be in favor

of the EITC because it gives tax breaks to individuals and families who need the most help. Most of the GOP would also sign on because it is centered on working and lifts people out of poverty without the heavy cost of lost jobs. Being in favor of raising the federal minimum wage in the name of a “living wage” sounds great on the surface. But, the politically feasible and less costly alternative of the earned income tax credit needs to be considered in the name of assisting Americans who truly need the help. Being conservative and compassionate is possible. The EITC is a great place to start. Chris Pulliam is a sophomore policy studies and political science major. His column appears weekly.

same day, and an active investigation by the university is underway. While many students responded in outrage, some in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community are saying the event can be used to create discussion among members of the university community. Angela Diaz, the director of public relations for Pride Union, said she first saw the video when a friend showed it to her Saturday. “My initial reaction was disappointment, not disbelief,” said Diaz, a junior sport management major. “Because this type of speech happens a lot on campus.” Molly Mendenhall, a senior women’s and gender studies major and president of Pride Union, added that she also hears language like what was said in the video on campus nearly everyday. Mendenhall said the video has created plenty of discussion in the university community, but she said that type of discussion hasn’t occurred much in her time at SU. “This is really the first campus-wide dialogue that has happened since I’ve been here, and I’m a senior,” she said. Moving forward, Mendenhall said Pride Union will be talking with other organizations about how the video affects communities on campus beside the LGBTQ community. In addition, she said the group hopes to participate in the forum that was mentioned in Chancellor Kent Syverud’s campus-wide email on Sunday. Michael Riley, the associate director of the LGBT Resource Center, said he believes many students are coming together in the aftermath of the video to “reframe the culture that allows

this type of thing to happen.” He added that various campus offices have released statements and some students have been doing their part to work toward making students on campus feel safe and secure regardless of their racial or sexual identity. Both Mendenhall and Diaz said they believe Strong’s comments have sparked a large response because she is a student-athlete. As a result, more people are paying attention and more people are discussing the issue of the hurtful language that was used. Mendenhall added that she thinks the conversation should shift away from just the one instance with Strong in order to start a larger conversation. “We need to start a dialogue about the culture that allows words like this to be used this way,” Mendenhall said. In addition, the words Strong chose have provided an opportunity to discuss identity and where certain identities intersect. Riley said it’s important to consider that people associate with more than just one identity, whether it’s based on race, sexual identity or something else. “I hope the situation highlights the importance of having an intersectional lens when you’re dealing with marginalized identities,” Riley said. Diaz and Mendenhall both added that they’re hopeful that in the wake of the video, there can be a conversation among people on campus in order to get to the root of the issues brought to light by the video. “I hope it creates more open and respectful dialogue between not only students on campus but also faculty, staff and the community,” Mendenhall said. “We need to be able to talk about where these issues come from.” blsamuel@syr.edu

Connective Corridor will release touch-screen kiosks promoting art and culture centers in Syracuse By Anagha Das staff writer

n the next few months, the Connective Corridor will unveil six new motion-controlled kiosks to promote the local art and culture scene. There are 11 kiosks with general information about the city already in development, but these six kiosks will focus exclusively on arts and culture, according to a Sept. 3 Syracuse New Times article. The project will cost more than $300,000 and will be completed in a few months, Linda Dickerson Hartsock, director of the Connective Corridor, said in an email. Money for the project came from a state grant that the Connective Corridor’s development budget then matched. The grant requires that the kiosks not post commercial advertisements and are used for art and cultural purposes only, according to the article. The software for the kiosks is being developed by SenSyr, a company founded by Syracuse University physics professor Ed Lipson. The company often works with human-computer interface systems. It also designed the singing sidewalk and LED-panels at Syracuse Stage. SU students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts are contributing to the development of the system, Hartsock said.

“We’d really love to stress the student involvement in developing this system,” she said. The kiosks are currently in the developmental stage, with software development and design still in the works. Quinton Fletchall is one of the VPA students contributing to the project. Fletchall, a graduate student majoring in communication and rhetorical studies, developed the graphic design templates and the map system for the kiosks. “Everything that we’ve done with the Connective Corridor has been for redeveloping Syracuse,” Fletchall said. “Our district is tied with the university and downtown, and we’re really trying to build off what’s there.” He cited the numerous galleries and museums along the corridor and said the kiosks are meant to serve as a “one-stop location” to help people navigate them. The kiosks will use Microsoft Kinect technology, making them stand out from the other touch screen kiosks in the city, Fletchall said. “This is the first time Xbox Kinect technology has been used in a system like this,” he said. “There is not another city with kiosks like these who we can turn to as an example and with questions to help design them, which has been a challenge.” Two of the six kiosks have already been ordered. They will be installed at the Erie Canal Museum and the Onondaga Historical Associa-

tion by the end of the year, Fletchall said. Lynne Pascale, the director of development for the Onondaga Historical Association, said she hopes that having a kiosk right in front of the museum will get more people to come inside. “Many people walk by our doors and don’t come inside,” she said. “But with the kiosk they’ll be able to see information about the museum and events without coming inside and that should encourage them to do so.” The Onondaga Historical Association includes a research center with photographs, archaeological records and architectural information about Onondaga County. Pascale wants to publicize the center because she believes it’s what makes the association dif-

ferent from other museums in the area. “If they realize we have a research center that’ll be open to the public, they’ll realize that our place is unique,” she said. Vicki Krisak, the director of marketing and development for the Erie Canal Museum, said she thinks the new kiosks will benefit the museum. She said the system might get its users to take an interest in the museum, and maybe even become members. “Anything that provides information to people who are traveling down the Connective Corridor through the community that directs them toward our museum is beneficial,” she said. amdas@syr.edu

primary The only time the turnout seems higher is when there is a presidential election, said Margaret McKinley, another election inspector. “The presidential election was overwhelming,” McKinley said. “A flood of human beings were here, thousands lined up.” Total voter turnout in Onondaga County for the 2012 presidential election was 77

percent, according to the Onondaga County Board of Elections’ website. McKinley added that the reason for the low turnout, in her opinion, was a lack of people that care enough to come out and vote. “The more educated, the more diehard, politically processed people, the ones that take their experience as an American citizen seriously are the ones that are going to come out here and vote,” she said. mpassala@syr.edu

Film studio moves to Syracuse By Charlotte Balogh contributing writer

The silver screen may be closer than ever for Syracuse University film students. The Film House, a film production company, is moving into the Central New York Hub for Emerging Nano Industries. “The first thing you should know is that what they’re calling the film hub is actually a culmination of two things: a campus in Dewitt and a nanotechnology program,” said Larry Elin, a television, radio and film professor. While The Film House is creating a lot of buzz, some might wonder why they decided to come to the Syracuse area, where there has been no prior history of filmmaking. “Syracuse has the best film program

SUIT UP By Eva de Charleroy contributing writer

or at least one day a week, Syracuse University student body is getting a little more stylish. The Well Dressed Movement attempts to empower men of color and combat negative stereotypes of men of color by the way they dress, according to the movement’s blog. The most recognizable part of the movement has been “Well Dressed Wednesday,” where the members dress in business casual clothing. To Kavell Brown, a junior systems and information science major and one of the founders of the Well Dressed Movement, young black men are stereotyped differently by how they dress. Brown said people see them as “raggedy, intimidating and dangerous.” The founders felt these stereotypes did not reflect who they were as men of color. The way that people dress not only relays an image to others, but also affects how they are

treated, Brown said. “People are better received when well dressed,” Brown said. “(Our movement) is about promoting that mindset.”

A movement starts with people who have fresh minds and can form their own ideas. Kavell Brown co-founder of well-dressed movement

The founders, who met freshman year, instantly became friends. Bryan Ogletree, a junior economics major, said it wasn’t until sophomore year that they came up with “Well Dressed Wednesday,” where the founders and students wear business casual clothing. When Elijah Biggins’ sophomore year roommates started dressing up to go to class, he followed suit. Big-

gins, a junior sports management major and another founder of the movement, inspired “Well Dressed Wednesdays” because of his new style, DaeShawn Parker said. “I really felt like this could catch on,” Parker, a junior systems and information science major and founder, said. Parker suggested the founders could dress up to help change the image of young men of color. The movement was also inspired by how civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X presented themselves. “That’s what they went to war with: a suit and tie,” Brown said. Although “Well Dressed Wednesdays” was successful in spreading empowerment, there were roadblocks to overcome. Parker said that while girls were receptive to the Well Dressed Movement and the way it was executed, some boys were harder to reach. “(It was) difficult to break into a boy’s ego,” Parker said. Some students felt the founders and

their followers were trying to separate themselves from others as a clique. “That wasn’t the way we wanted to be perceived,” Parker said. “This is why we came up with the t-shirts.” The brothers of the Well Dressed Movement understood that making t-shirts to support the movement would act as an equalizer for their supporters. Not every student has the ability or the funds to buy and wear a suit, but many can buy a T-shirt for $15. But students were not the only ones who reacted positively to the creation of the T-shirts and the movement itself. Ogletree talked specifically about meeting a father and son, who approached him asking about the Well Dressed logo on his shirt. When Ogletree told them about the movement, the father asked for two shirts — one for him and one for his son. When Ogletree gave the man the shirts, he told Ogletree that the movement has the ability to “touch people’s lives.” The goal of the movement is to see well

The Film House will film its first movie, “The Opium War,” starring Gina Carano and Stephen Lang. in the state outside of New York City, so if you’re going to go upstate, you’re going to look at Syracuse very seriously,” said Owen Shapiro, Shaffer Professor of Film in the Department of Transmedia in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. He cited on-hand student talent, geography and the smaller price tag, compared to that of working in New York City, as specific areas of allure for production companies. Other than SU’s strong film school, moving to Syracuse is also financially attractive, Elin said. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo started a series of tax breaks for companies that align themselves with state universities. The Film House will also receive a tax credit for post-production: if the company remains in-state instead of sending projects to places like California, the government will essentially pay the bills. Michael Haggerty, the chief operating officer of The Film House, said The Film House is intrigued by the prospect of student activity. “When we approached the idea of locating in Syracuse, one of the first things my business partner and I talked about was getting the university and the students involved,” Haggerty said. Another reason The Film House may be moving to central New York is see film

well dressed spread among all genders and races. The Well Dressed Movement doesn’t just end with minority men, according to the movement’s blog. Looking good and feeling good are synonymous for the founders of the Well Dressed Movement, and young people are the key to its success. “A movement doesn’t start with the people who are 30, 40, 50 years old. A movement starts with people who have fresh minds and can form their own ideas,” Brown said. The founders said that in the future they

the opportunity to work in conjunction with a nanotechnology program. Elin said in filmmaking, nanotechnology is used to create some of the most stunning visual effects, citing “Life of Pi” as an example. Dan Pacheco, a newspaper and online journalism professor, said that nanotechnology is incredibly relevant across all fields, including entertainment. He compared the kind of advances The Film House is hoping to invest in to a project he is involved with — a virtual reality headset that uses 3-D imaging to recreate immersive scenes. Although The Film House is interested in student involvement, both Elin and Shapiro have different views on exactly how viable of an opportunity The Film House will become. Shapiro said there will be opportunities for all students to work with The Film House. He added

will use the proceeds from T-shirt sales to raffle off a free suit once a month. They are passionate about this goal because a suit is more than just a nice outfit. A suit means making a first impression into a lasting impression. Parker said he and the other founders know that a free suit can change a person’s life in a subtle but important way, whether it’s a suit that someone will wear for a job interview or for a wedding proposal. “All we want to do is give people the opportunity to get their foot in the door,” Parker said. “If we’re doing that once a month, we’re doing something.” erdechar@syr.edu

that The Film House’s resident director Ryan Johnson is “counting on having Syracuse University students work as personal assistants or assistants or in other various roles, depending on their expertise.” Elin is more skeptical on how good a resource The Film House will be for SU students. “I’m going to be very hesitant to do anything until I’m more convinced that trustworthy people with a lot of integrity are involved in it and the likelihood that it will actually do what it’s been advertised to do,” Elin said. Regardless of how many SU students become involved with The Film House, the company represents a new opportunity for the film industry in central New York and has the potential to develop and utilize new technologies, Pacheco said. Said Pacheco: “For the area, it’s a really good thing. It’s going to be generating jobs and what I understand is that it is going to be focusing on computer advances and computer graphics.” clbalogh@syr.edu

Where we’re seeing it: We saw this in Marc by Marc Jacobs’

Where we’re seeing it: We saw the robe coat featured in

Where we’re seeing it: Supermodel and fashion icon Cara

and Chanel’s fall 2014 runway shows, but those are only two of the many. Supermodel Karlie Kloss shared a picture of her working out in an orange and purple pair of Nikes on her Instagram. We also saw this in some of the menswear shows, particularly Dolce & Gabbana.

Why we like it: You should take any opportunity you have to

wear shoes this comfortable. They’ll take you through fall until the snow falls, which is a major plus. Try to wear them with shorts for now or leggings later, but whatever you wear them with, it has to be relatively solid as opposed to a print. Guys, you can rock this look too. It’s an easy way to elevate the individuality of your outfit. Just throw on a pair of these with your favorite jeans, and you’re good to go.

Why we like it: This coat has a lot of things going for it. It’s a robe coat. It’s green, and it could be categorized as mod style. These are all big trends we saw on the runways for fall. The length is great because you can wear it throughout the year if you layer it well, and if you’re not having the best day wardrobe-wise, this is a good cover-up.

Delevingne is wearing a lot of these small trendy backpacks right now, proving they aren’t just for kids going to school. We saw a leather version in Rag and Bone’s fall 2014 show and a plaid version at Tommy Hilfiger’s show. The days of the tote bag may be on the way out.

Why we like it: It’s an alternative to the typical North Face

Freshman Ishmael surfaces as starting receiver on depth chart Freshman wideout Steve Ishmael leapfrogged senior Jarrod West on the team’s latest depth chart after catching two passes for 13 yards in Syracuse’s 27-26 win over Villanova. The depth chart was released Tuesday ahead of the Orange’s trip to Central Michigan this weekend and puts Ishmael alongside senior Adrian Flemming as the top two receivers. West hauled in five passes for 59 yards and was SU’s leading receiver against the Wildcats, which means he probably won’t see a significant dip in touches against the Chippewas. But Ishmael’s ascension to the top of the depth chart hints that his involvement could increase in the coming weeks. Aside from Ishmael, Flemming and West, Ben Lewis is behind Flemming on the depth chart and junior Ashton Broyld is ahead of sophomore Brisly Estime at H-back.

Wide receiver-turned-cornerback Winfield replaces Dowels as 4th CB Corey Winfield entered training camp as a wide receiver before switching to cornerback for a better chance to see the field. He didn’t make the two-deep depth chart before Syracuse played Villanova, but replaced freshman Juwan Dowels in Tuesday’s depth chart. Senior Brandon Reddish and junior Julian Whigham remained the team’s starting cornerbacks, with Winfield behind Reddish and junior Wayne Morgan behind Whigham. Villanova collected 12.4 yards per completion in Week 1 as the Syracuse secondary was largely inconsistent in coverage.

Shafer thinks junior nose tackle Williams will get reps against CMU Syracuse’s defensive front controlled the middle of the field against Villanova and more help could be on the way. Junior nose tackle Wayne Williams didn’t see the field against the Wildcats and Shafer confirmed that he was available. After that, Shafer added that the 6-foot-4, 326-pound lineman may be in the mix at Central Michigan. “He’s working to try and get some reps and I think he will get some reps in this game,” Shafer said on his weekly teleconference. “How many will probably be dependent on how he practices today and tomorrow.” When asked what Williams needed to work on, Shafer continually circled back to “consistency” and said that Williams has room to grow in both the pass and run games. “Consistency’s a big thing on defense and when he’s consistent, he’s a pretty good football player,” Shafer said. “It just needs to be amped up a little bit.” Defending the run game is a big point of focus heading into the weekend, as Chippewas’ running back Thomas Rawles has had a quick start to the season. Rawles carried the ball 31 times and collected 155 yards and two touchdowns in Central Michigan’s 38-17 win over Purdue on Saturday. SU’s new depth chart listed Ron Thompson and Eric Crume as the team’s starting defensive tackle and nose tackle, respectively. jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

between me and him. But the moral of it was, ‘Just be calm, you’re the leader of the team. You can’t let little things affect you.’ “... We’re men. It’s a tough sport, it’s emotional,” Hunt said. When asked how he’ll prevent further outbursts from happening again, he responded, “It’s not going to happen again. Plain and simple.” While Hunt said the extended break was tough, it didn’t spawn any seminal reflections.

“Nothing I didn’t already know about myself,” he said. “I’m the same person. I made a mistake. It’s simple. You make mistakes, you learn from them and you move forward. That’s all.” When offensive coordinator George McDonald was asked what he wants to improve on against Central Michigan matchup, he said he just wants a complete game from Hunt. “I want to see Terrel Hunt not get thrown out of the game,” McDonald said. “I want to play a full game with our starting quarterback. I want to get in the flow and I want to see us just go out and execute.” jmklinge@syr.edu | @Jacob_Klinger_

callahan Callahan spent two years as a member of the Wildcats and started every game last year after breaking his ankle in the first year. But for an undisclosed reason, he decided to transfer. Because he’d played on an Empire United Academy team, a central New York based club, with players from Rochester and Syracuse, including Bono and Stamoulacatos, Callahan felt a familiarity with the Orange. It not only led him there, but is easing his transition into a system that he’s never played in before. He’s become one of the catalysts from the wing-back back position with a defense that has yet to allow a goal this season. It’s a defense that’s crowded and features established players such as Jordan Murrell, Skylar Thomas and Oyvind Alseth. But despite being the new name, Callahan has quickly developed credibility. “He had an advantage to work here all spring and an advantage that he knew several of the guys beforehand,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “We know him very well from being one of the local guys. He’s doing very well.” The familiarity has helped Callahan adjust not only to a new team, but also to a new defensive system. At Villanova and before, he’d only been a part of a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 formation, which wing backs, as Syracuse uses them, don’t exist. With four players in the back, he didn’t have the opportunity to get up the field as much. But now with Syracuse’s 3-5-2 positioning, Callahan is able to get up the field a little more and he smiled when he said he’s even being

presented with the chance to score. “It’s been a big transition for myself,” Callahan said. “As far as the team goes, it’s actually helped in our benefit. We’re a transition team. “I think it’s just fit well as the season’s gone so far.” McIntyre said the transition was “seamless.” Callahan enrolled at SU in January and got through what McIntyre called the “dark times” of January and February with relative ease and the results have proven that point. Bono, who also considered playing at Villanova, said he knew that would be the case

before the defender ever put on an SU uniform. He’s known about Callahan’s abilities as a passer, crosser and defender for the past seven years. “He realized that if he had the opportunity to come here, he’d want to do it and team up again,” Bono said. “He realized we had something special going on, came in, visited, liked the school, liked the staff, liked the way we play. “And the rest is history.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

‘IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.’ Hunt faces media for 1st time since ejection in opener, takes ownership for throwing punch By Jacob Klinger asst. sports editor

errel Hunt watched the final 33 minutes 24 seconds plus the overtime periods of Syracuse’s season-opening win against Villanova with Omari Palmer and Josh Parris. They were injured. He had been ejected for punching Villanova linebacker Dillon Lucas in the face mask with his left hand. Speaking to the media Tuesday evening for the first time since the ejection on Aug. 29, Hunt said that his return on Saturday at noon against Central Michigan won’t be a do-over. His team beat the Wildcats with Austin Wilson playing the remainder of regulation and double overtime in the 27-26 SU win. After a week-plus of apologizing to his teammates, talking to Orange alumni and preparing for the Chippewas, the SU starting quarterback is eager just to play a competitive game again. “I want to stay in the game all four quarters and win,” Hunt said.

“That’s all.” The punch was out of his character and a response to what he maintains was a late hit to the head. It was also a response to what he said were dirty plays earlier in the game. In addition to his teammates, former SU stars Donovan McNabb and

Callahan transitions to Shafer talks guards Robinson, Palmer SU after transferring By Jesse Dougherty sports editor

By Sam Blum asst. copy editor

When Liam Callahan was an everyday starter at Villanova in 2013, he’d make time to watch his former travel teammates Alex Bono and Stefanos Stamoulacatos play for Syracuse. When Callahan would stay over at Bono’s house after travel tournaments in high school, the two would imagine a future of playing college soccer together.

So when Callahan decided to leave Villanova, it was clear to him that the Orange would be the only other place he’d want to go. “Syracuse is actually like my second home,” said Callahan, an Amherst, New York native. “It’s close to home. It’s comfortable … they’ve done great the past few years. They’ve been improving every year, there’s great people playing here.” see callahan page 15

Syracuse was without offensive guards Nick Robinson and Omari Palmer in its Week 1 win over Villanova, and SU head coach Scott Shafer said Tuesday that both players are active and working back into the mix ahead of Syracuse’s (1-0) game at Central Michigan (2-0) at noon on Saturday. “They’re practicing now and I’m looking forward to how things go in today’s practice,” Shafer said on his weekly teleconference.

“They’re both active right now. We’re going to give them a chance to put the pads on today and play some football.” Against the Wildcats, Rob Trudo started at left guard and Michael Lasker at right guard — Lasker is listed as a tackle on SU’s depth chart but slid inside due to Palmer’s knee injury. Robinson has been working back from a foot injury since the middle of training camp and both injuries have muddied the Orange’s offensive line picture. Trudo started at left guard all last season and Robinson started

at right guard. Palmer and Lasker made pushes for starting spots during this training camp and injuries have delayed tangible decisions by Shafer and offensive line coach Joe Adam. If all of Robinson, Palmer, Trudo and Lasker are good to go, it’ll be time to sift through the options. “All four of those guys you mentioned are ready to go,” Shafer said. “We’ll see who gives us the best chance to be competitive for Saturday as we get through the week of practice.”
