SU Abroad alters credit rule Students can no longer receive credit for nonaffiliated programs

By Justin Mattingly asst. news editor

Starting next fall, Syracuse University will no longer grant transfer credit for courses that students take while on a leave of absence to study abroad.

Beginning in the fall of 2015, study abroad opportunities for credit will be available to SU students through SU Abroad’s centers and their short term, summer and featured programming, said Kevin

C

hange is happening in E.S. Bird Library for the first time in 30 years as new ideas and renovations come to fruition – but not without financial struggle and political setbacks.

It wasn’t until Chancellor Kent Syverud said in his inauguration speech that he hoped to “empower research excellence at SU” and later visited Bird Library and noted its outdated appearance that the ball really started rolling, said Ronald Thiele, SU Libraries’ assistant dean for advancement.

While Syverud has expressed a desire to strengthen SU’s reputation as a research university, Thiele said his visit to Bird yielded fairly simple concerns:

improving the quality of the space.

The building’s first floor renovations were revealed in August and by next January the lower level will be completely redesigned. The renovations took place thanks to a generous $150,000 donation by the family of two Syracuse University students in 2012, Thiele said.

“I think the chancellor sees that the library is important to the academic rigor and student experience on campus,” Thiele said. “Bird was built prior to the student center, so because this was the center of information, where do kids go when they get out of class?

They come to the library.”

The current renovations are the first Bird Library has seen since 1972 but see library page 8

TATTOO tuesday | patricia szul

Lotus flower symbolizes true beauty, resilience

By Gigi Antonelle contributing writer

Seven years ago, Patricia Szul, an undeclared sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences, began what she considers the hardest fight of her life.

It started when Szul’s mother was diagnosed with cancer. As her mom became sicker, Szul began feeling depressed. These negative feelings transformed into an eating disorder, anorexia nervosa. Szul now remembers those feelings with a lotus flower tattoo on her back.

“I was in such a bad place with my mom being sick, I was so sad,” Szul said. “It gave me control over the situation.”

But even when her mom’s health improved, Szul’s condition worsened.

Szul said she refused to eat, and when she tried, she would get sick.

At the end of her sophomore year in high school and throughout the summer, Szul was in and out of the hospital for about five months.

After struggling with anorexia for four years, Szul got a tattoo of a lotus

flower on her back. It represents beauty and resilience, two things her therapist stressed during her treatment.

She got the tattoo at the end of her senior year when she finished treatment and was declared “cured” — although Szul recognizes that no one can be completely cured from an eating disorder.

“It’s a daily reminder that I went through that. I got through it,” Szul said. “I’ll never be fully cured, but I feel so much better about myself now.”

Szul considers her therapist one of her best friends — someone she can talk to about anything. She still speaks with her at least once a month.

“She really made me believe I was beautiful and helped me overcome a really hard time in my life,” Szul said.

Szul’s mom is now cancer-free and Szul promotes a healthy lifestyle. She offers a word of advice to girls and to anyone suffering from an eating disorder.

“Get help. Talk to people and be patient with yourself,” Szul said.

“Don’t waste your life trying to be perfect. It’s not worth it.” gantonel@syr.edu

Thai restaurant on Marshall Street expands menu

By Thomas Beckley-Forest contributing writer

Sweet Basil Thai House, Marshall Street’s newest dining option, will feature a menu with half Thai food and half Vietnamese food.

The new restaurant opened its doors on Sept. 5, replacing Cosmos Pizza & Grill. Sweet Basil, featuring a menu of half Thai and half Vietnamese cuisine, was previously located in Mattydale. The Mattydale store, located on Brewerton

Road, was very popular and the restaurant’s success prompted the move to Marshall Street, said Tom Tran, Sweet Basil’s manager.

“There are so many students and potential customers in this area,” he said. “By opening up this location, we’re offering something new on the market.”

Tran said he hopes to provide “authentic Vietnamese food” to Syracuse University and the surrounding area. He added that the restaurant would be sticking to its Vietnamese

menu at first, and would be rolling

Assembly discusses Syverud’s Fast Forward plan

By Alexa Torrens contributing writer

Fresh out of a “positive, engaged and active” meeting with the Board of Trustees, Student Association President Boris Gresely was excited at SA’s meeting on Monday about the prospects of Chancellor Kent Syverud’s Fast Forward Syracuse plan.

Gresely was able to sit down with

the board to make suggestions on how to improve Syracuse University, such as establishing “an alternative to Castle Court” for students and making a more positive “student climate with the chancellor.”

At their meeting in Maxwell Auditorium, SA assembly members discussed upcoming events that may lessen the apparent tension between the chancellor and SU students that

has formed as a result of the chancellor’s condemnation of SU’s top party school title. There were also discussions about the chancellor’s Town Hall meeting, Gresely’s meeting with the Board of Trustees and other SA events.

A Town Hall meeting for the chancellor to connect to SU students is being held Monday, Sept. 22 at 4:30 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel.

The purpose of the meeting is for

students to familiarize themselves with the Fast Forward Syracuse plan designed primarily by a steering committee and several working groups. A question-and answer session will also be held.

The three-part Fast Forward plan is being implemented to provide “the key strategic direction and framework” that is necessary

As the Ebola virus continues to spread throughout Africa, a Syracuse University professor is doing his part to help track its prevalence.

After six weeks and more than 500 hours of hard work and dedication, Ken Harper, an S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications professor and director for the Newhouse Center for Global Engagement, and his team launched the first website to successfully track the Ebola virus in Liberia on Sept. 8.

Harper heard from a former student that little to no information was being released to the public and even government officials were having trouble interpreting the data.

“Without information, there’s more fear. Without information, officials cannot make informed decisions,” Harper, the U.S. Director for the project, said. “Digestible, easyto-access information is the very first thing people need.”

#SpeakUpSU highlights 2 issues university must address

O

n Friday, a crowd of students, professors, administrators and community members gathered in Grant Auditorium for a town hall-style event, “#SpeakUpSU.” Hosted by the Syracuse National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, an array of student organizations showed up to voice their concerns, opinions and heartfelt comments concerning identity on Syracuse University’s campus.

Of the many emotional experiences students shared at #SpeakUpSU about discrimination and marginalizing on campus, two recurring topics that stuck out to me were concerns over the word choice in Chancellor Kent Syverud’s email addressing the Hanna Strong video, along with multiple responses from some students in Newhouse shared concerning their experiences in the school. Both topics are representative of two areas of SU campus life that need the most addressing.

On Sept. 7, Chancellor Syverud sent out an email to the SU community as a reaction to the Hanna Strong story with the subject “Tolerance and Respect.” Syverud stated his plans for moving the campus community forward. “I believe this, and other less visible incidents, presents us with an opportunity to have an open, civil and frank discussion. Issues of tolerance and respect are something confronted by many people on campus and off, in ways visible and not,” he said.

After first reading the email, I couldn’t help but to feel a little uneasy with the use of the word “tolerance.” I realized I was not alone in my thoughts on Friday, when a number of students at #SpeakUpSU voiced their discontent with the use of that word. Students took to Twitter to share their thoughts on this conversation with comments such as, “I just don’t want to be tolerated,” or “Why should I be ‘tolerated’ on my own campus?”

I believe Chancellor Syverud had good intentions in his email — especially in acknowledging that instances of discrimination and hate speech

NINA RODGERS

A CHAIN REACTION

occur quite often on campus, but just might not be caught on camera. But tolerance is one of the darkest issues facing SU’s campus — to be put up with rather than accepted, constantly questioned, doubted and underestimated. Especially for me, as a student of color in Newhouse, ‘tolerance’ is something that I feel on nearly a daily basis. To first be discouraged from even transferring into the school by faculty advisors and then to be spoken-over and isolated socially from classes makes the already-challenging Newhouse experience even more daunting.

During the event — which even had to be extended for one additional hour to provide more time for feedback — members of the audience took turns on the microphone to let their voices be heard. Unlike some of the forums, panels and discussions that happen on campus, #SpeakUpSU stood out as an event where the changes to come afterwards were not just empty promises or thoughts, but actual plans of action. #SpeakUpSU was an event that should extend beyond the confines of Grant Auditorium and to the respective spaces on campus where there is a dire need for change. One thing that was made clear at #SpeakUpSU was that this was not a group of angry students who came together to whine, complain and blame the world for their life experiences. It was a valid discussion with a motive to shift the culture of SU to a space where no student — regardless of race, gender, class, sexual orientation, religion and all other forms of identity — should just feel tolerated.

Oprah ticket lottery lacks planning, communication The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications’ decision to automatically enter all Newhouse students in a lottery for Oprah Winfrey tickets was poorly planned and communicated.

Newhouse should have offered its students the option to be entered, in order to prioritize students that actually wanted to attend the event.

Winfrey will speak in Goldstein Auditorium on Sept. 29 as part of a day-long series of events to dedicate the Newhouse Studio and Innovation Center. Of the 500 tickets available for the Goldstein balcony, 200 were offered to Syracuse University students and the other 200–300 tickets were reserved for a lottery for Newhouse students.

Because Winfrey is here for a Newhouse event, it made sense for the school to reserve some tickets specifically for its students. However, the way in which the lottery was planned and publicized potentially took tickets away from students — both enrolled and not enrolled in Newhouse — who truly wanted to see Winfrey speak.

Newhouse could have improved its lottery in two ways: notifying its students about the lottery option before tickets were handed out in Schine

Student Center and by giving its students the option to be entered into the lottery instead of automatic entry.

If Newhouse students had known about the lottery, some may have made the choice not to stand in line for a ticket. This could have allowed more non-Newhouse students to get tickets. And if Newhouse had asked students to opt in for the lottery, it would have cut down on the number of people entered in the Newhouse lottery.

Newhouse students have 48 hours from when they’re selected to pick up their tickets. Because Newhouse automatically entered its entire student body, this could lead to a high number of unclaimed tickets than if they had required students interested in seeing Winfrey to opt into a lottery. Though the unclaimed tickets will re-enter the lottery, the 48-hour window could also make the process of handing out tickets more complicated and inconvenient.

The system Newhouse devised was inefficient, and it was a poor choice to notify students about the lottery after the initial tickets were handed out.

Students should fight net neutrality Tuesday, Sept. 10 was Internet Slowdown Day, devoted to advocating the idea of an open Internet.

Major tech behemoths like Netflix, Twitter and Reddit helped paint a dark picture of the Web’s potential future by participating. What users saw was a Web that contradicted the essence of online communication.

A Web that forced companies to pay to transmit information, one where Internet Service Providers regulated traffic with roadblocks and most importantly, one that completely violated the First Amendment.

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler recently refused to let ISPs slow down traffic, however Washington is still debating the idea that superior levels of service can be offered for an additional price1. Opponents of net neutrality fail to understand that either way you look at it, you are still creating a “fast lane” and a “slow lane” for Internet traffic2,

which prevents the democratization of information. The idea that all data is equal is what makes the Internet so powerful. Companies like Netflix and Twitter would not suffer without net neutrality, but the Web’s ability to foster entrepreneurship would be severely diminished. It empowers the individual to create and share content with nothing interfering. It allows for toddlers named Charlie who have a craving for fingers to become just as recognizable as a Hollywood superstar. Most importantly, it creates a level playing field that allows all of us to contribute to the collective intelligence of our species.

Knowing this, it seems unspeakable to put hurdles in the way of the average user. Unfortunately, major ISPs are able to fund lobbying campaigns to get their word across to officials in Washington. But the fight is far from over. I urge the Syracuse

University community to have their voice heard in this pivotal issue.

Contact your representative here and your one at home and voice your concern for the Internet’s future.

ISPs can lobby all they want but ultimately, a Congressional vote is the deciding factor.

This is not an issue that should divide the rich from the poor, this is one that is questioning who the government works for, and the answer should be obvious. If net neutrality loses, it would be the government serving the highest bidder, a corporation who could then easily monopolize the open Internet we know and love. It’s called the World Wide Web for a reason. Do not let one or two corporations seize control of it.

Progressive legislation should continue to be tested at state level

C

alifornia is among other states that have recently made tremendous progress for worker’s rights and have passed legislation that, if successful, could set a nationwide standard. Labor laws in the U.S. are often unforgiving to the problems of everyday life, such as sickness of employees or their family members.

According to a Sept. 10 Los Angeles Times article, Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) signed a new law that requires employers to provide one hour of paid sick leave for every thirty hours worked, but only up to 3 days per year.

According to the governor’s office, about 40 percent of California’s workforce has no paid sick benefits.

Paid sick days provide a more reasonable and higher standard for treatment of employees, but its economic success remains to be seen.

RACHEL POTTER

50 SHADES OF BLUE Passing legislation at a state level is an effective way to test for the economic success of a bill before proposing it at a national level. If the bill is successful in California, it should be implemented nationally in order to improve employee treatment.

California is the second state, after Connecticut, to pass legislation that mandates paid sick leave. According to a Sept. 11 US News article, Eileen Appelbaum, a senior economist at the Center for Economic Policy Research, says that in Connecticut there was very little abuse of the sick day policy.

Appelbaum also claims that thirty percent reported cost increases of 2 Web Developer Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. Feature Editor Asst. Feature Editor Asst.

percent or less and the remainders had higher cost increases or were unable to report the costs. In short, there are some drawbacks to the policy, but its implementation in Connecticut has provided generally positive results.

Improved treatment of workers by providing paid sick days not only benefits the worker, but fosters better employee-employer relationships and prevents the spread of illness.

Mandating paid sick leave is not the only way Brown is helping employees.

This year, Brown also signed legislation raising California’s minimum wage to $10 per hour by 2016. Brown says that there is more similar legislation to come. Higher minimum wages and paid sick days have the strongest influence on the labor standards for lower working class; they tend to hold jobs where employers do not readily offer

benefits to their employees. It is clear that we can expect a lot from Brown’s administration.

These pieces of legislation, which protect California’s workers, are very progressive and help to raise the standard level of treatment for workers.

However, it is important to test legislation in big states like California before bringing them to national prominence. After the legislation has been implemented, economists and politicians can analyze the costs and benefits and determine whether or not it is not only beneficial to the worker, but causes little or no harm to the economy. While every state has different needs, values and economies, data gathered from the implementation of policies in individual states can help form national policy decisions.

President Barack Obama should

wait and see the effects of higher labor standards before trying to implement them nationally.

According to the White House website, the Obama Administration supports the Healthy Families Act, which would offer up to seven days paid sick leave. This legislation is premature and should be postponed until the effects of paid sick leave in California and Connecticut are thoroughly analyzed.

Brown and the State of California may be setting nationwide standards for sick leave and other employee beneficial labor laws. They should continue proposing progressive legislation in order to set a standard for other states and eventually the federal government.

In addition, the website shows a colored map of the affected areas with the total number of Ebola cases for each specific region displayed.

It’s important that health care workers, volunteers, journalists and the public have accurate information about the state of the outbreak.

At his recent meeting with the Board of Trustees, Gresely shared concerns that assembly members spoke about at last week’s SA meeting.

Gresely also suggested a student-led tour of campus for the Board of Trustees, which he hopes will allow some disconnected members of the administration to get a bet-

Brian Dawson, who is a 2011 graduate of Newhouse’s photojournalism program and currently works for IDEO in San Francisco, has been leading the user interface/user experience (UI/UX) design for the project. Dawson’s main job is to decide what information needs to be presented and what the best way to present that information is.

“It’s important that health care workers, volunteers, journalists and the public have accurate information about the state of the outbreak.

“In times of great crisis we must work together to overcome great odds. When people are suffering we must not be bound by ego or institutional greed, this project is an example of such ideals — good people with varying talents working together towards a common goal,” Harper said. “I’m proud to count myself among these people who choose to do more than care — they act.” smswann@syr.edu

College climbs to highest ranking in school history in U.S. News and World Report

By Anjali Alwis staff writer

S

The Gateway Center at SUNY-ESF is a hub for campus activities. The college was recently ranked No. 30 in U.S. News and World Report’s 2015 rankings of top public universities — its highest ranking ever.

margaret lin photo editor

UNY-ESF has climbed to an all-time high in the U.S. News and World Report college rankings.

U.S. News and World Report ranked the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry No. 30 in the nation’s top public universities for the 2015 edition of U.S. News’ Best Colleges.

SUNY-ESF also earned the No. 45 spot in the “Great Schools, Great Prices” category, which calculates the best-value schools in the nation. SUNY-ESF is the only SUNY campus listed among 50 schools selected for this recognition, according to a SUNY-ESF press release.

“Rankings mean a lot for any school, but they are especially important for a small college like ESF,” said Robert French, SUNY-ESF vice president for enrollment management and marketing, in an email. “We are by far the smallest school on the National Public Universities list this year, so we don’t have the broad name recognition that comes from being a bigger university.”

French said the higher rankings the school achieved this year were primarily due to improvements in the rating component tied to graduation rate — which has been rising steadily — and the college reputation rating that is based on a U.S. News survey of peer institutions.

Students at SUNY-ESF echoed the same sentiments — the university has been thriving for years and is finally getting recognized for it.

“It’s a big deal, it’s a very prestigious school

and it’s specialized so it’s tough to get into. It’s cool that it’s being recognized as top 30. It’s finally getting some press,” said Bridget Snover, a sophomore landscaping architecture major.

There have been some changes implemented lately that may account for the newfound recognition, French said. The college recently renovated Centennial Hall, which the Princeton Review ranked among the 20 best college residence halls, as well as added the new Gateway Center.

SUNY-ESF has recently added popular new majors in Sustainable Energy Management and Environmental Health, as well as a Mighty Oaks intercollegiate athletics program just four years ago, he added.

“I would say for the most part our recognition has come from having great faculty, strong research programs aimed at solving environmental problems and other factors that have been important to ESF’s success for a long time — and those factors would include our long standing partnership with Syracuse University ,” French said.

French noted that while these are the highest rankings SUNY-ESF has received, they are by no means a surprise.

“ESF was ranked No. 77 on the National Universities list just two years ago,” French said, “and we have done well in the rankings for many years now.”

For Snover, the rankings reflect her experience on campus.

“For the future, I think for anyone that goes here — it just helps you a lot,” Snover said. “You learn a lot. It’s not easy but you’ll definitely get your money’s worth by going here.” acalwis@syr.edu

library administrators say more funding is needed for the library to compete with the country’s top college libraries. As the library enters its next chapter, there are also questions about whether Bird should continue to act as a social space or whether it should become a place for more serious study.

But Syverud was not the first person to notice the libraries out of date facilities. In 2012, SU established a review committee to evaluate the collections, services and operations in the university’s libraries, according to the committee’s report. In its recommendations, the committee said SU Libraries must redefine its “strategic direction” on campus and establish priorities for library investment and development.

This same sentiment was noted in the 2003 Campus Master Plan, which details a need to expand Bird Library. The plan is written every 10 years and states architectural and campus planning improvements as recommended by an architectural firm.

It has been 10 years since the last Campus Master Plan was issued and a committee is now being formed to create a new one, said Student Association President Boris Gresely. Gresely said he hopes the committee will use the opportunity to renew infrastructure that’s out of date, such as the library.

“The library should be state of the art, it should be a place where you’re like ‘wow,’ and it’s unfortunate that it has been pushed aside (by the administration) to a certain extent in the past,” Gresely said.

A social sphere While students have traditionally used Bird as a place of social gathering, Graduate Student

Organization President Patrick Neary said he believes students have lost sight of what the library is truly intended to be — a place for research and learning.

The new renovations only further that misconception as they involve an open floor plan that encourages collaborative workspaces, Neary said. Collaborative workspaces can be places where students earnestly work, but they don’t always mesh with individual study spaces when placed side by side, he said.

“There are a lot of floors that are terrible places to study,” Neary said. “If I’m going to sit here and do five hours of math research, and there are people talking all around me, how am I going to study?”

Slowly, slowly donations have to happen. And there is money being pinpointed, but for something like collections you need regular funding.

This means that the current state of Bird Library, and some undergraduates’ desire to keep it a social sphere, do not align with the chancellor’s vision. But students also have an important stake in the future of Bird, said Gresely.

Students “pay into the big pocket” because SU is tuition driven, Gresely said. It then becomes the university’s responsibility to decide how the money is budgeted. But if students voice where they think the money should go, they could see real change, he said.

The need for donations Deborah Pellow, head of the University Senate Library Committee, said that while physical changes are the easiest modifications to make, they usually yield little effect on the internal quality of the library. The most recent renovations have made Bird appear more like a “21st century library,” but Bird and SU Libraries’ collections need both renovations and funding.

Once the collections are able to be improved, she said Bird Library may be more in line with the national standard for research libraries.

“Slowly, slowly donations have to happen,” Pellow said. “And there is money being pinpointed, but for something like collections you need regular funding.”

For facilities like Bird, alumni donations really drive its ability to afford the renovations it needs, said Thiele, the assistant dean for advancement. And data backs up this assertion: according to a report issued by the University Senate Budget Committee, SU Libraries currently spend $18,372,392 in order to operate

study abroad affordable for a lot of students,” said Margaret Himley, associate provost for international education and engagement.

SU students’ eligibility for financial aid and confidence in the academic and professional value of the abroad experience are some advantages of the policy change, according to an email from Himley to SU faculty obtained

by The Daily Orange.

“This policy will support SU Abroad over the long term, both programmatically and fiscally, while ensuring students with special circumstances have an opportunity to petition to study abroad via a non-affiliated program,” the email reads.

SU students who wish to study in a non-affiliated abroad program will petition to Himley and the dean of the applicable school/college.

Petitioning students should submit their petition form nine to 12 months prior to the program start date, according to the form. In the email, Himley said that SU Abroad will meet with each school and college to fine tune the procedure for the petitioning process. If the petition is approved, students pay SU tuition, receive SU

— this placed SU at No. 84 in the Association of Research Libraries’ ranking of peer institutions.

The Budget Committee report also states that in order for SU to be among the Top 50 Association of Research Libraries, it would need “an infusion of $7,000,000 plus regular increases” to bring SU equal to No. 50.

But it’s not as easy as just “asking someone for a million dollars,” said Thiele. Most alumni choose to donate to their home college, and securing donations for the library can be challenging because some believe that it is part of the operating budget of the university, he said.

Now that the chancellor has set goals to improve the university’s research capacity, he said he believes Bird has a real chance to improve both aesthetically and in how it serves the students.

“So one way that donors can facilitate this is to fund the library,” Thiele said. “Then we can make those things happen, just as we have with the furniture — we don’t see that as the end.

It’s one of those things that can pay it forward for the entire university.” apalme05@syr.edu

financial aid and receive SU credit, which is calculated into GPAs, according to the email.

A process will be in place for vetting non-affiliated programs before sending SU students to the location, according to the email.

In an interview with The Daily Orange, Himley said safety is one of the reasons SU Abroad vets the programs.

“We want to be sure that there are things in place should something happen, there are evacuation and medical procedures so we know that our students are safe when they’re studying abroad,” she said.

SU Abroad is looking into the programs that students have been going on during their leave of absence, Himley said.

“We don’t know all of those programs (yet),” she said. “One such program is in Prague, for example, and we have sent a staff person to review it, and it’s a good program in terms of academics and support and student safety.”

Himley said SU Abroad is in the process of adding Prague to its list of World Partners. SU Abroad hopes the new policy will add to the list of World Partners, she said.

The first deadline for petition submissions is Nov. 1, which will be for fall 2015 programs. jmatting@syr.edu

Landlord plans time capsule

By Madysan Foltz staff writer

Syracuse University isn’t simply a learning institution for Ben Tupper — it’s a way of life.

A popular landlord, SU alumnus and current SU graduate student, Tupper has been a major part of the SU landscape for the past several decades.

Tupper’s newest project is a time capsule, which he hopes to bring to campus within the next few months.

Tupper wants to get a 55-gallon “indestructible” bucket to hold items that represent SU students as individuals and as a collective community. He plans to put the time capsule on one of his properties – 137 Clarendon Ave. “Being involved in student culture and student life both as a landlord and as a student, I wake up everyday feeling like I’m 21 years old,” Tupper said. “I don’t feel like an old tired man, I think ‘Hey, what can I do to make the experience even better?’”

While he still needs to get clearance from the city to dig at this location, Tupper said he is confident in the outcome.

“It’s all still in the planning stages,” Tupper said. “I’ve already sent the word out to my tenants and they’re all excited.”

Tupper got the idea when his Tupper Property Management business partner Tiffany Buza told him about a few stu-

dents who “buried some Zimas in a backyard 15 years ago and couldn’t remember where they put it.” He found it hilarious, and it got the ball rolling.

Students may not know the significance of 137 Clarendon Ave., the place where the stage was set for Livingstock, Tupper said. The precursor to Mayfest, Livingstock raged on from as early as the 1960s to the 1990s see time

Relaxed Sundays in South America encompass food, family bonding

W

hen my host family and I ate empanadas during my first Sunday in Chile, I was in love — with my hosts, but also with the bready, cheesy goodness of Chile’s national food. When we ate empanadas during my second Sunday, I was overjoyed.

Now that I’ve been here for almost two months, my stomach growls when I think of Empanada Sundays. I’m like Pavlov’s dog, except way more excited when the bell rings.

Lunches are the most important and largest meal in Chile, Ecuador and most of South America. The lunches are so large that rather than dinner, Chileans have “once” (pronounced “on-say”). “Once” takes place sometime between 8–10 p.m.

The little baked delicacies—small slices of heaven—come in many variations, but they’re always cheesy and delicious. My favorite is the

time capsule before it was ultimately shut down after a riot in 1999.

“That front yard has always been a historical place,” Tupper said.

Now the area is known as the heart of Kappa’s Corner — an area on campus dominated by members of SU’s marching band and brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi, a national honorary band fraternity.

But it’s not just Tupper’s tenants and

“napolitana” with cheese, ham and tomato inside. The Chilean specialty is called “pino” and it has beef, onions, raisins, black olives and hard-boiled eggs.

Bonding with my host family is the only thing better than the empanadas on Empanada Sundays. Our normal routine is to take a 10-minute walk to an empanada store and buy two empanadas per person, as my hosts and I haven’t made them. This is the only meal my family doesn’t cook because they said the process is long.

This tradition of relaxing Sundays was even stronger in Cuenca, Ecuador, where I spent a month for the fi rst leg of SU Abroad’s program.

There, my host family and I would drive about 40 minutes to their homestead in the countryside to spend the day with the entire extended family and eat a huge lunch.

Even on my fi rst day in Cuenca, I was whisked off to the countryside moments after meeting my host mother. About 20 relatives were gathered in the house they use just for Sunday gatherings. I greeted everyone with a kiss on the cheek, as is customary in Ecuador and Chile. This was my fi rst time speaking with native Spanish speakers. My fi rst “relaxing Sunday” was more of a “sink or swim” language immersion experience.

Downtown Cuenca turned eerie on Sundays. All the locals were most likely enjoying lunch with their families. The central plaza, which is normally full of people, was empty.

The only people walking around were tourists and “gringos,” people from the United States.

During my second night with my Ecuadorian host family, I was waiting around for dinner until about 10 p.m. After working up a real appetite, I went to my host mom to ask if dinner was soon. Apparently the tea we shared earlier in the night was our “dinner.” I explained to her the United States concept of dinner. We shared a good laugh and had some more tea as I ate a little dinner. Unfortunately, it wasn’t an empanada.

Not every family spends their Sundays like my hosts, but relaxing with family and a good meal has been a staple in my experience in South America.

members of the marching band that can get involved — Tupper said he wants everyone in Syracuse to get involved.

Kelsey May, a junior policy studies and geography major, is excited for the time capsule because it embodies a tradition that she holds dear.

“I’d be interested in learning what’s important to a student 50 years ago,” May said. “When you talk to someone that went to Syracuse, you’re like, ‘Oh my god, I went to Syracuse too!’ There’s just this bond that (Syracuse students) have I hope translates

well into the time capsule.”

Samantha Steinert also wants a hand in the action. The sophomore child and family studies major said she would put a laminated picture of Jim Boeheim in the capsule.

“School spirit is what unites us all -— we’re all crazy Orange fans,” Steinert said. “I hope that’s one tradition that sticks around.”

May and Steinert will have a chance to place their respective items in the capsule on the Friday before homecoming, when Tupper plans to hold a ceremony.

As for the contents of the time capsule, Tupper

has a few ideas in mind. He wants a marching band uniform, any unused pieces of early-2000s technology and a pack of red solo cups, which he said is the “symbol” of students today, but he still wants students, faculty and local residents to have the majority vote.

“People almost always come back after they graduate. Forty or 50 years from now, there will be someone who comes back and will be there to open the capsule,” Tupper said. “And people now can come together and have fun thinking of things to put in it.”

In good faith

Alternative rock band Faith and Fiction divides time between Syracuse, Buffalo

By Isha Damle contributing writer

M

ichael Montante’s band didn’t start in a friend’s garage. It started through Facebook.

Montante, a sophomore in the Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries, became one of four members of the poppunk, alternative rock group Faith and Fiction.

A founding band member, who is no longer in the band, approached Montante via Facebook.

From there, Faith and Fiction was born.

Though all four members of the group, which was formed in 2011, are based in Buffalo, they’ve recently been splitting their time between Syracuse and Buffalo.

Last week, the band finished recording its second EP, “Kids in the Clouds,” at Syracuse’s The Square Studio with producer Steve Sopchak. The EP, which the band began recording last November, will likely be released in the next few months.

Montante, one of the band’s guitarists, chose the Bandier program with Faith and Fiction in mind, hoping to use the skills and expertise he acquires there to help the band progress. “(It) actually motivated me a lot more because I see what can be done in this industry and now I’m kind of learning what to do,” he said.

The Syracuse University connection was a coincidence, as the band had decided to record with The Square Studio before Montante decided to attend SU. The other band members are bassist and backing vocalist Konstantin Klimuk; lead vocalist and guitarist Timothy MacDonald and drummer Wyatt Kluckhohn.

Both Montante and Kluckhohn, a sophomore at Rochester Institute of Technology, have had to frequently travel to and from Buffalo to keep up with band-related events. Despite the distance,

Montante said the band is in constant contact.

MacDonald, 23, said even though it took them a while to complete recording the album, the environment of the studio and Sopchak’s style of producing made it worth the wait.

“He’s just really down to earth, so just working with him helps the creativity, the spark, and that just makes the songs that much better,” MacDonald said.

Kluckhohn, 20, said he was excited to have a second EP out on the music market. Now the band has something tangible to show off for the hard work the members have put into the EP, along with the experiences and memories they have.

“Everybody really put all of themselves in here and it’s a really good representation of who we are and what we’re capable of,” he said.

Kluckhohn said the band’s newest member, bass player and backing vocalist Konstantin Klimuk, has been an influential factor in the band’s growth as songwriters. Klimuk, 23, joined the band two years ago.

“I love recording and I love writing probably the best,” Klimuk said. “I love playing live, but I think my favorite part is actually starting with a small idea and working, watching it progress until it’s actually in the studio and it’s all done.”

Montante said as the band’s following grows larger and stronger, live performances are his favorite part about being in the band.

This July, more than 200 fans came to the band’s show at the Forvm in Buffalo. Montante said it was exciting to hear them singing along to the songs they had written. He considers the show one of his favorite experiences performing live.

“There’s nothing better than when you have a show where everything goes right for you,” Montante said.

Faith and Fiction’s music is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and Xbox Music. The band will perform in Buffalo on Sept. 25, and is

currently working to organize a show in Syracuse.

Although labels have approached the band, it is not signed to one yet. Band members said they’d be open to signing with a label when they find one that meets their needs.

The band also has plans to produce a music video to accompany the release of “Kids in the Clouds.” The group has released lyric videos before, most notably in December for its single

“You Stole My Sweater.”

As Faith and Fiction’s popularity grows, the band members have no plans of changing who they are to please other people.

“We’re obviously going to make music that we think people are going to like, but at the same time, we’re not confining ourselves to a certain genre or a certain sound,” Kluckhohn said. idamle@syr.ed

O’Boyle’s versatility rules all over for Chadron State

By Paul Schwedelson staff writer

Needing a spark in its season opener, Chadron State turned to backup quarterback Patrick O’Boyle.

O’Boyle led the Eagles to three touchdown drives and a 42-25 win over Missouri University of Science and Technology as he went 3-for-3 in the air with 91 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 79 yards with another score.

But O’Boyle doesn’t just play quarterback. On extra points, he is the holder. On kickoffs, he plays on the coverage team. On punts, he is the team’s long snapper. In his niche, four-position role, the senior O’Boyle has earned a spot on Chadron State’s (1-1) 12-player leadership council.

“I’m just a guy that if they ask me to play free safety on defense, I’d go out there and do my absolute best,” O’Boyle said.

In 2013, the Eagles unveiled the “Pat Project” — their version of the wildcat offense. The package centers on O’Boyle going in at quarterback and other players also substituting to fit his passing and scrambling skills. The “Pat Project” forces defenses to prepare for O’Boyle and cuts into their time to prepare for the rest of the team.

“They were struggling to try and stop it and whenever a defense is struggling, you want to continue to attack that part of their defense,” Chadron State head coach Jay Long said. “It was something that really helped us out” This past spring, the Eagles’ long snapper graduated. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound O’Boyle volunteered to try the new position. After practicing throughout the spring, he earned the starting

long snapper job on the punt team.

When O’Boyle told his father and former high school football coach, Tom O’Boyle, that he would be long snapping, Tom O’Boyle laughed.

“Who better understands that the most important completion is the center to the quarterback or the center to the punter on the offensive side of things?” Tom O’Boyle said.

“He loves being in the clutch, critical situations and coming through.”

Being a coach’s son exposed O’Boyle to more game film and all the positions at an early age.

Now, watching more film is more important than ever with his new roles on special teams.

Throughout most of his life, O’Boyle only played quarterback in football. He was a holder for extra points in high school and college.

He also played basketball in the winter, ran track in the spring and played baseball in the summer. Learning how to transition from one sport to the next has eased O’Boyle’s crossover between positions.

“To see the game from so many aspects, you learn to take on different roles,” said Danny O’Boyle, O’Boyle’s brother and a Chadron State wide receiver. “I really think that’s helped him especially now where he’s playing so many different roles on our team.”

O’Boyle’s upbringing is continuing to pay off.

The two brothers still argue about who is faster.

They were raised as all-around athletes, not stuck in any one position.

“My dad really tried to instill in us that it’s a team game and it takes a team effort,” Danny O’Boyle said. “You can’t just do it with one guy.” pmschwed@syr.edu

volleyball

Connelly’s athleticism helps freshman excel at Syracuse

By Sam Fortier contributing writer

In one of the first volleyball games she ever played, Anna Connelly broke an opponent’s nose with a serve. She was in seventh grade.

Volleyball was her first non-contact sport.

Connelly grew up in Minnesota, which meant learning to skate as she learned to walk.

She was raised on hockey; it was in the family’s fabric. Skating against local boys molded her into an especially physical competitor. But when she was eight and the family moved to

California, she found volleyball “I got sick of playing hockey,” she said. “I wanted to play a girl’s sport.”

Connelly has played the sport ever since, from Los Angeles to Syracuse. In her first season as an SU libero, Connelly revels in SU head coach Leonid Yelin’s expectations while fighting through homesickness.

At age 10 on a beach in California, she saw her first volleyball tournament. By the time her family moved to Arizona when she was 11, Connelly told her parents she wanted to quit hockey.

Because of her husband’s job as a Fox Sports

executive, Connelly’s mother, Cara Connelly, said their family had seen an ugly side of overly involved parents in athletics and tried not to micromanage their daughter. They told her to play whatever sport she wanted.

“When she came up with volleyball, I was shocked,” Cara said. “I had no idea, but she signed herself up for the school team.”

When Connelly was 13, she became more serious and joined an Arizona club team, which practiced nine hours per week. She hated it. The next season, a friend coaxed her into switching clubs. There, she flourished.

When she came up with volleyball, I was shocked. I had no idea, but she signed herself up for the school team.

By the time she moved back to California at age 17, Connelly was ready for a harder challenge. She

mancz athletic program’s top strength and conditioning assistant, and has since used his connection with the players to develop new training regimens with different individual players.

“I (was an intern) purely for the experience,” Mancz said. “It was something I really enjoyed doing, but I really didn’t think I’d be back here a couple years later as a hired assistant strength coach.”

After Mancz’s internship ended in May of 2012, he went back home to Levittown, New York, to live with his parents without much of a plan. Mancz worked as a personal trainer, but spent much of his free time sending out resumes and cover letters to different schools, trying to find a place where he could replicate the experience he’d had at Syracuse.

But when Luther was forced to get a hip replacement before the start of Syracuse football training camp in 2012, he needed someone to fill in for him.

“I said, ‘I can’t pay you, but I’ll try to find you a part-time job and we can give you meals during training camp,’” Luther said of his conversation with Mancz.

“He said, ‘I’ll be there.’”

On paper, Mancz was a volunteer. He didn’t make money and he didn’t hold the same stature that Hicks had as a 12-year veteran at the time.

But Mancz shifted into a different role. While Hicks was a father figure to many of the players, Luther said, Mancz was more of an older brother.

Luther said when Mancz first started, he was quieter. He worked on learning the tendencies of the players and building relationships with them, which allowed him to work well with the younger players.

It was Mancz’s job to notice the players that didn’t get noticed.

“People on the other part of the athletic

found the Southern California Volleyball Club, owned by USC men’s volleyball head coach Bill Ferguson and his wife, Brenn Ferguson. Connelly missed tryouts, but they put her on the team anyway, albeit with no guarantees of playing time.

“She’s burning to be coached, and she asks so many questions,” said Brenn, who also coached Connelly in private lessons.

The Fergusons thought so highly of Connelly that they hired her to coach a 7–10-yearold’s league.

Moving so much as a child prepared Connelly for leaving her home in Los Angeles, but the transition to life at Syracuse still wasn’t easy. To help, her parents sent a memento: a panoramic shot of her backyard — complete with blue ocean, sandy beach, setting sun and, in the distance, the Hollywood sign.

“If I wake up homesick, that gets me through the day,” she said.

The same physical defending she honed in her youth hockey career translates well to the demands of playing libero under Yelin. The gritty, hard-nosed style of play has carried Connelly through her first few months at SU. “He expects so much out of us,” she said. “He makes you want to be better, to not let him down.” sjfortie@syr.edu

staff never realized he was an intern or that he was volunteering at the time,” Hicks said.

“They all thought he was an assistant coach.

The way he goes about his business, you wouldn’t know the difference.”

After Mancz became a full-time employee, he started to not hold back on the players.

Senior running back Adonis AmeenMoore said that Mancz had to earn everyone’s respect. For Ameen-Moore, that happened when Mancz suggested he switch to working out on the Stairmaster instead of the bikes and treadmills. Ameen-Moore slimmed down prior to this season, and credits Mancz for that.

“He was definitely more reserved, we already had an assistant strength guy,” Ameen-Moore said. “Now he’s definitely more open and vocal and talking to us, telling us we got to go.”

In addition to assisting the football program, Mancz has also taken on the primary strength coach role with both the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams.

“Some guys need to get pushed,” Luther said, “some guys need to get hugged, some guys need to be left alone, some guys need to be talked to all the time. You can’t train each player exactly the same.

“Matt paid attention to those details.”

Mancz isn’t afraid to push players, yet being able to speak up, change regimens and get a nickname is a product of respect earned.

The name Muscle Matt is playful. He chuckles when he hears it. “Matt” replacing “marinara” in his nickname is just one more sign of the lasting influence he’s left at Syracuse, just two years out of college himself.

“A lot of people try to tell you how much they know or how smart they are or how many books they wrote or how much they can lift or any of those kinds of things,” Luther said. “An athlete doesn’t care about that. They want to know: what you are going to do to help me get better?

“Matt’s doing a really good job.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

Pongetti adjusts to midfield role, Syracuse’s style of play

By Chris Libonati contributing writer

Another year, another campus, another team.

Last year, Rebecca Pongetti started her freshman year of college at Louisiana State, starting 11 and playing in 18 of the Tigers’ 20 games. But just a few months before this season began, she transferred to Syracuse, preferring the Orange’s quicker, possession-based style of play.

“I got the opportunity with Syracuse and I took it and I didn’t look back,” she said.

Pongetti described her start at Syracuse as “frantic.” LSU was something she had planned in advance when she committed in 10th grade.

But SU was a little more unexpected.

As she switches from what she called LSU’s “kick-and-run” style to the Orange’s more

cornell After allowing his first goal of the season in SU’ s loss on Saturday, Bono hopes to take sole possession of second place with another shutout as the Orange hosts Cornell (2-1-1) on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The goalie he’s looking to surpass, Robert Cavicchia, will be watching from the stands.

“It’s an honor and a privilege and I don’t take that lightly,” Bono said. “My career at Syracuse, I can’t really describe it in words. I can’t describe it in numbers or stats or anything. I couldn’t have asked for any better of an experience, and there’s so much more to go.”

Cavicchia, who played at Syracuse from 2005–2008, will not just travel from Toronto to watch his alma mater. He’ll be specifically watching Bono, who’s only a junior, attempt to further etch his name alongside Joe Papaleo, Alim Karim and Kevin Bacher as one of the top keepers the school has seen.

“Hopefully I will be able to congratulate Alex in person for tying and passing me on the all-time list,” Cavicchia said in an email.

patient, purposeful passing, she’s rotating into more playing time and a new position because of Hanna Strong’s indefinite suspension from the team.

“The speed of play in the (Atlantic Coast Conference) is a little quicker than it is in the (Southeastern Conference),” head coach Phil Wheddon said. “The SEC is a big, physical game and the ACC is a quicker game.”

Pongetti has settled in, but the transition is ongoing. After starting the first three games of the season, Pongetti did not play against Connecticut on Sept. 1 as Wheddon said Strong was better suited for the matchup.

But the team will be without Strong indefinitely. She was suspended Sept. 6 after she was recorded using racist and homophobic language. Strong plays holding midfielder, the

same position as Pongetti.

Strong’s suspension may help Pongetti get more time on the field. Her absence opens a rotational gap at the holding midfielder position in Syracuse’s 3-5-2 formation. Strong played more than 30 minutes in four of Syracuse’s first five games. Now, the Orange will have to find someone else to play those minutes. “(Pongetti) still working on her speed of play, taking a quicker first touch so she can play more quickly,” Wheddon said.

She’s also working out of a new position.

Pognetti’s played center back since she started playing with the Canadian Youth National Team in her mid-early teens years, but when she arrived at Syracuse, she was shifted to midfield.

Switching from center back to the midfield made it clear to Pongetti that her work was

cut out for her. She had to build her stamina to physically prepare herself for playing in the midfield and adjusting to the new playing style that came with transfer.

“This summer I worked every single day.”

Pongetti said. “I ran, I lifted — I did everything I could to be possibly fit for the midfield.”

As a freshman at LSU, Pongetti had to prove herself. This year is no different.

Maddie Iozzi, a sophomore defender, said that Pongetti has continued to improve since she arrived. Iozzi could see it better than most — the two played together on the Canadian Youth National Team.

Said Iozzi: “She was a bit timid at first, but now she’s zipping (passes) in there and she’s gotten a lot better from when she first came.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing him continue to move up the ranks as one of SU’s all-time goalkeeping greats.”

With four shutouts in Syracuse’s first four games this season, Bono tied Cavicchia’s 22 career shutouts in 25 fewer games. Bono trails Papaleo (1979-82) — who is a family friend of Bono’s — by nine career shutouts, despite starting 27 fewer games than the school’s alltime wins leader.

As a freshman in 2012, Bono became the first freshman keeper since Cavicchia to start a season opener, and proceeded to record a shutout in seven of his first nine games. His 10 total shutouts that year were one short of Chris Whitcomb’s (1985-88) single-season school record.

“We placed a ton of responsibility on him the moment he walked into the program,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “Alex, from the moment he stepped in, he’s been a presence back there.

“Certainly you measure goalkeepers with shutouts, but it’s more than that. It’s important times in important games making that save, but also to have the presence to calm us down when it’s necessary.”

The junior’s 434-minute shutout streak to start this season came to an end Saturday night when Syracuse lost 1-0 to visiting University of Notre Dame. Despite finishing with a season-high seven saves, Bono allowed a goal in 74th minute on a header from Irish defender Brandon Aubrey.

Of his four shutouts this year and 22 total, Bono pointed to last year’s shutout against Connecticut and its goalkeeper Andre Blake, Rutgers and St. John’s this year, and Cornell in the first round of the 2012 NCAA tournament as the shutouts he best remembers.

“Every shutout feels the same afterward

because there’s a zero on the other team’s score at the end of the game,” Bono said. “That’s important for me and the rest of the team.”

Regardless of whether he comes up with a clean sheet, as he’s done in over 50 percent of his career starts, Bono has established himself as what McIntyre called “an elite goalkeeper.”

“Alex seems to be playing at the top of his game, and it’s great that he is high up on the records list and accomplishing so much and he is only in his junior season,” Cavicchia said. “The season has just begun. Hopefully he continues to play well throughout and will finish at the top of the list.”

ALEX BONO, SU’s junior gaolie, is one clean sheet away from moving into sole posession of second place on the program’s all-time shutout list. He’ll get the opportunity to get his 23rd shutout when Syracuse hosts Cornell on Tuesday. hannah wagner staff photographer

Assistant strength and conditioning coach earns players’ respect, nickname

R

yan Nassib called him “Muscles Marinara.” Hal Luther dubbed him “Muscular Matt.” To Will Hicks, he was simply “Muscles.”

Matt Mancz says his current nickname, Muscle Matt, is a mixture of all three.

First it was just the football team that called him that. Then men’s and women’s lacrosse followed suit. Muscle Matt isn’t just a nickname anymore, it’s a title that is both a product of his own physique, as well as the respect he’s earned from the athletes and staff at Syracuse since joining as a full-time as the assistant strength and conditioning coordinator.

brick house Matt Mancz is 5-foot-9 and weighs 195 pounds, but the weights that he lifts are just one indication of why he’s earned the nickname Muscle Matt.

“It’s like being called ‘Coach,’” said Dan MacNeill, Mancz’s football coach at State University of New York-Cortland. “Who gets called ‘Coach’ is the guy who is usually revered and knows what he’s doing. He’s in that domain.”

Mancz was an intern with Luther, SU’s director of strength and conditioning at the time, in 2012. Though Mancz was mostly in charge with setting up and cleaning up the gym, Luther said Mancz’s attention to detail helped him stand out in a way that very few interns had in Luther’s 17 years with the Orange. He meshed well with the players and fit into both Luther and Hicks‘ — Syracuse’s current assistant athletic director for athletic performance — mindset.

Now with Luther occupying a similar job with the Buffalo Bills, Mancz has stepped into a full-time role with Syracuse. In July, he was promoted to the

Syracuse and Notre Dame will play at 8 p.m. on Sept. 27 and be televised on ABC, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced on Monday.

The game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, will be the third time Syracuse has played there in as many seasons.

All three of the Orange’s visits to the stadium have been known as the “New York College Classic.”

SU played Penn State there last year and Southern California in 2012, SU and UND have played each other six times and twice in the New York City area. Syracuse beat the Fighting Irish at Yankee Stadium in 1963. In the most recent meeting, visiting SU pulled off a 24-23 comeback victory over Notre Dame in 2008.
