Thinking caps

By Alexa Torrens

A new 21-member faculty advisory committee will explore the feasibility of creating a veteran-focused college of medicine at Syracuse Un iver sit y, the university announced Wednesday.

The uniO’KEEFE versity first announced the idea of opening the medical school, which would train doctors and healthcare professionals to work at Veterans Administration hospitals across the country, in early August.

The committee will be responsible for getting input from faculty members regarding how SU’s different schools and colleges and students “could play a role in, and benefit from, a niche-focused college of medicine,” according to the release. The committee must submit a report of its findings to the chancellor by early October, according to the release.

Sean O’Keefe, a University Professor, will chair the committee.

The committee includes professors, chairs, directors and a dean from the College of Arts and Sciences, the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, the School of Architecture, the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the College of Visual and Performing Arts, the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, the Martin J. Whitman School of Management and Upstate Medical University, according to the release.

Political philosophy conference to come to SU, feature world-renowned philosophers

By Sara Swann asst. news editor

A

bout three years ago, a trio of professors joined together to create an international conference centered around political philosophy.

David Sobel, a philosophy professor at Syracuse University, teamed up with two professors at other schools to plan what the event would look like, and the trio pitched their idea to the Oxford Studies program.

The conference has since grown into an internationally renowned event, and top political philosophers will make their way to the SU campus this weekend for the Workshop for Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy.

SU will be hosting the third annual workshop from Friday to Sunday. The conference, which will be held in Barcelona next year, will feature speeches by professors from across the U.S., including keynote addresses by a UCLA professor and a University of Michigan professor. It is run by Sobel, along with Peter Vallentyn, a professor of philosophy at the University of Missouri, and Steve Wall, a professor of philosophy at the University of Arizona.

“It’s nice to be able to ask questions and have access to some of the best minds working in political philosophy right now,” Sobel said.

Oxford Studies approved Sobel, Vallentyn and Wall’s conference in 2012, and the first Workshop for Oxford Studies in Political

Brew packs hoppy punch, citrusy bitterness a.m.

Most of the time when I’m staring at the endless stacks of beer Wegmans has to offer, I end up choosing something I’ve never had before.

But this week I was drawn to an old, hometown favorite of mine — Victory HopDevil India Pale Ale. I’ll preface this review by saying that if you’re not an IPA drinker, this beer might not be for you. As its name indicates, this brew packs a very hoppy punch. However, if you’re like me and enjoy the bitter yet citrusy taste of hops, HopDevil is the holy grail.

Brewed and bottled in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, Victory Brewing Company has had its doors open for less than two decades but already is distributing to more than half the country. The HopDevil, named after a character founder Bill Covaleski created and drew before the beer was even made, was a part of Victory’s original lineup and is one of their finest.

HopDevil has a dark, burnt golden color to it and produces a thick and creamy head. The label’s claim that it is “bold, spicy and menacingly delicious” is on point.

Victory HopDevil India Pale Ale is for beer lovers that enjoy bitter hops. The dark, burnt gold pour has sweet and malty notes to cap of the many flavors with a smooth finish.

logan reidsma photo editor

You can smell the potent yet citrusy hops before even taking a sip.

You can certainly tell it’s an IPA from the first sip, but my favorite part about HopDevil is its surprisingly malty and rich flavor.

The aromatic flavor of hops hits you right off the bat, but HopDevil has a lasting, full-bodied finish, filled

with the flavor of the rich malts used to brew the beer. HopDevil is bitter, but not too bitter, with just the right amount of sweet, citrusy flavor to counterbalance the strong hops.

Sweet and malty notes cap off a plethora of flavors and give HopDevil a very smooth finish.

Best paired with cheddar cheese,

barbecue ribs and grilled meats, HopDevil is the real deal when it comes to IPA’s. The strong and sometimes overwhelming flavor of hops can be too much for some people, but if you’re bold enough to take on the HopDevil, I guarantee you’ll find heaven in a bottle. ckdyer@syr.edu

SU sees no effects from cuts 5 years later, SU officials say work study cuts haven’t affected jobs

Syracuse University did not feel any significant effects of a 20 percent cut in Federal Work Study funding that occurred five years ago this month, officials say.

A $600,000 cut five years ago from a stimulus package, which was allocated for the Work-Study program, caused the university to deny the money to some students who had previously received the award.

While SU did experience cuts at that time, Ryan Williams, associate vice president for enrollment management and director of scholarship in student aid, said the university found other ways to fund the program.

Professor announces campaign for Congress

By Rachel Sandler asst. news editor

A Syracuse University professor officially launched his campaign for Congress on Wednesday in front of about 30 people in Thornden Park.

Flanked by his wife, daughter and supporters, Eric Kingson, a professor of social work at SU, announced he would seek the democratic nomination to rep-

resent New York’s 24th congressional district. He is the first Democrat to announce he is running for the seat.

K i n g s o n , KINGSON 69, said he will continue to teach in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics during his campaign.

The Manlius native emphasized a major pillar of his platform on Wednesday: protecting and expanding social security.

“I’m tired of hearing people say that we have to cut social security,” Kingson said. “Today’s working Americans will not be able to maintain their standard of living without increasing social security benefits.”

The crowd, which skewed older,

applauded at each mention of expanding social security.

Kingson co-founded the advocacy group Social Security Works, which has the goal of maintaining and expanding social security benefits.

His academic career has also been focused on social security and economic inequality.

Report ranks school’s public affairs program No. 1

By Kenneth Mintz contributing writer

Syracuse University’s nearly 100-yearold Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs is now a national leader in public administration.

A U.S. News and World Report released last week ranked Maxwell’s public administration and international affairs program No. 1 in public

affairs programs nationwide. The program prepares students for leadership roles in government, nonprofits and other fields, according to the U.S. News and World Report website.

Program leaders said the recent rankings will help bring greater recognition to the Maxwell school and its graduate degree program.

“We’ve been a recognized leader in our field almost since the beginning,”

said David Van Slyke, professor and chair of the public administration and international affairs program at SU. “Even so, we do not rest on our laurels and are always striving to provide innovative and cutting-edge scholarship and education on behalf of our students.”

The program was the first of its kind when it was conceived almost 90 years ago, according to a 2008 press release by the Maxwell School. Through

the years, the public affairs field has become a pathway to careers in the public, nonprofit and private sectors that “help make the world a better place,” Van Slyke said.

Maxwell’s 40-credit program has nine core courses, including public administration and democracy, economics for public decisions, executive leadership and policy politics, among see maxwell page 6

Commit rule should be clear, consistent The Syracuse football team’s pre-commitment campus visit policy is beneficial for both parties involved, but it must be clearly communicated to all recruits.

The policy states that the football coaching staff will no longer accept a commitment unless the player has visited the Syracuse University campus first. The management of available spots with a visit prerequisite is common among college teams, as it allows coaches to meet and interact with a recruit, rather than only engaging with them remotely.

The rule recognizes extenuating circumstances, such as inability to travel to Syracuse. However, it is also based on the projected value of the player to the roster. This is unfair and the policy should be made applicable to all potential commits, and continue to consider any extenuating circumstances.

The expansion and increased

transparency of this policy would hold all recruits to the same standards and would avoid any instances of misunderstanding regarding spot availability.

SU’s director of recruiting operations Eric White said in an interview with The Daily Orange that the coaching staff tries to be upfront with recruits when positions are limited.

However, Devon Clarke, an Osceola (Florida) High School defensive back, wasn’t able to commit to the Orange in July because he was unaware of the campus visit rule.

The requirement of in-person visits provides recruits with the opportunity to learn more about the school they are considering and proves that the player views joining the Orange as a serious offer. The visit is equally beneficial for coaches, as they are able to accurately judge the character and physical build of a potential commit, giving the staff the chance to see if the recruit truly

deserves a spot on the team.

However, the Orange’s coaching staff has a desired number of players it wants at each position within the 85-scholarship allotment. Once it reaches that number for each recruiting class, the opportunity for other players essentially closes — even if they already have a scholarship offer.

This means that committing is essentially a race, and a player could lose a spot on the team if they are beat to a verbal commit. The possibility of losing out on a commitment opportunity should be transparently presented to all recruits, avoiding any case of confusion or frustration that may stem from these circumstances.

Though the current visit policy strategy is practical, it must be made universal to all potential football commits and be clearly communicated to all players, regardless of their anticipated success on the roster.

Jenner’s marriage equality reconsideration sets important precedent

J

ust because a celebrity strives to be socially aware doesn’t mean they have it all right.

Taylor Swift has risen as a feminist icon, but she lacks insight when it comes to less privileged women. Similarly, Miley Cyrus is making strides with her LGBTQ youth organization, but she capitalizes off of mocking black and Latino culture.

Fortunately, reality television star and transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner has made amends when it comes to her questionable views on marriage equality.

Earlier this month, Jenner made her first post-transition talk show appearance on “The Ellen Show.”

While conversations with Ellen DeGeneres tend to stay lighthearted, Jenner’s interview took a con-

troversial turn when she said she preferred “traditional” marriage to be protected by the law as opposed to same-sex marriage.

Jenner’s conservative perspective was unexpected because she is such an active member of the LGBTQ community as a transgender woman. Her dismissive attitude came as a surprise because marriage equality legislation empowers those who are marginalized because of their sexual orientation.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but Jenner’s statement pits members of the queer community against each

other when it is supposed to be an inclusive space. Further, her apprehensive acceptance of gay marriage on “The Ellen Show” reflected poorly on her as an LGBTQ advocate.

However, Jenner re-evaluated her stance on same-sex marriage and shared this publically, which was a move in the right direction.

On Monday, Jenner published a blog post entitled “What I’ve Learned,” where she discussed the wake-up calls that she has received as a newcomer to the LGBTQ community. Among them, she mentioned her former insensitivity to the importance of legal marriage for gay couples.

“After hearing from my gay friends and learning more about the hardships they faced because of discrimination, it became clear to me that everyone

should be able to marry the person they love,” Jenner wrote. “I can only hope that by sharing my story, there’s someone out there whose mind has been changed about trans people.

Because regardless of whether you are transgender or not, we all have stuff to deal with in our lives.”

Admitting that you made a mistake takes courage. By listening to insightful criticism, Jenner has set a precedent for celebrities when it comes to turning backlash into an educational opportunity.

Too often, those who disapprove of a celebrity’s harmful opinions or culturally-appropriative styles are written off as “haters,” when these moments should serve as an opportunity to empathize with people from different backgrounds and cultures.

Although Jenner has admitted that she has much to learn, she is living up to her status as a celebrity activist. She always makes sure to uplift the LGBTQ community by living her truth, but also knowing when to listen to others.

In order to make veritable progress, it’s important that LGBTQ-identified people have high-profile figures that listen to them.

Caitlyn Jenner did not sign up to be an activist; however, when celebrities become a voice for a disenfranchised community, they must use their platform to fight for those who look up to them.

As a Democrat, Kingson framed his social security platform in opposition to the Republican Party, specifically Republicans in Washington. He said that as a professor, he’s not a career politician and represents a voice outside normal Washington politics.

“I think people are a little tired of politics as usual,” Kingson said in an interview following the campaign launch.

Although Kingson’s campaign is mainly focused on social security, Liz Gerace, a former student of Kingson’s and a campaign staffer, said she isn’t worried about appealing to younger voters.

Kingson also talked about income inequality, echoing the rhetoric of other progressive candidates, such as presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. He said for the past several decades, most of the country’s income growth has gone to the richest people in the country, something he opposes.

Addressing a recent study, which concluded that Syracuse has the highest rates of poverty for blacks and Hispanics among the top 100 metropolitan areas in the country, Kingson railed against policies that led to the problem.

“If we don’t see the pain of hardworking

families of all incomes, all races, all ethnicities, all preferences for marriage, all gender preferences, then we lose as a society,” Kingson said.

John Katko, a republican, is the 24th district’s current representative. He unseated democratic incumbent Dan Maffei in an election last year where he earned 60 percent of the vote.

“I’m going to raise the issues correctly and without rancor,” Kingson said in an interview.

“I think he (Katko) is a decent man, but I’m going to raise the issues very hard and I’m going to fight.”

“We expect several hundred more students to become employed throughout the year. There are also several hundred additional students working, however they are not using FWS,” he added.

While some on-campus jobs require FWS and others do not, there is a high demand for on-campus jobs this year, Williams said.

Students are allowed to choose where they work and what time they work in accordance with their academic schedule and need for the position. Some positions on campus are more attractive to students than others, but if a student is really interested in working there is

usually a job available, Williams said.

One of the largest student employers on campus is SU’s Food Services. About 2,000 students are employed by Food Services during the course of the academic year and approximately 30 percent are college Work-Study, said Lynne Mowers, secretary to the director of SU Food Services, in an email.

Even with the number of students employed

by SUFS, the 20 percent cut in funding did not have an effect on the number of jobs Food Services has available for students.

“There were no lost positions as SUFS did not cut back student shifts five years ago,” Mowers said.

The university has actually increased the

number of student shifts the past several years.

SU has added student jobs in new locations such as the iCafe in Hinds Hall in 2011, the Campus West Express in the Campus West Building in 2013 and the Neporent Café in Dineen Hall in 2014, Mowers said. She added that SU expanded hours of operation in Sadler Dining Hall in 2013 and Graham Dining Hall in 2015.

“We think it is important for students to work if and when they can,” Williams said. “The experience can be valuable regardless of the job. It can add so much to your college experience and of course provide additional financial support.”

good across levels of government and with nonprofit and for-profit organizations,” the program’s mission statement states. “The (Master of Public Administration) program is grounded in a comprehensive view of public service education that appreciates the need for three areas of mastery.”

The school boasts many alumni who have excelled in their respective fields, including NCAA President Mark Emmert, former Deputy Secre-

tary of Defense John White, U.S. Representative Steve Rothman and many college presidents, according to the Maxwell website.

Though Maxwell is about to embark on a transitional period as Dean James Steinberg announced Sept. 1 that he would be stepping down following the 2015-16 academic year, the school maintains a competitive edge in both its programs and recent graduates.

“They are sought-after by employers across all sectors of government, the nonprofit and related private sectors,” Van Slyke said regarding the program’s graduates. “With the education they obtain at Maxwell they are well poised to hit the ground running and move into positions of influence and leadership all over the U.S. and the world.”

University of North CarolinaGreensboro professor offers course on the Coen brothers

By Brigid Kennedy staff writer

T

he University of North Carolina-Greensboro has a distinct class for film lovers.

Jeffrey Adams, associate professor of film studies and German at UNC-Greensboro, created a course centered entirely on the cinematic works of the Coen brothers, a famous movie directing duo.

The class, now celebrating its fifth year, has grown in popularity over the years.

The Coen brothers, known individually as Joel and Ethan Coen, are responsible for blockbusters “The Big Lebowski” and “Fargo,” among others. They have a total of four Academy Awards and many nominations between them.

Adams originally created the course, Media Studies 321: “The Coen Brothers,” as a way to supplement the research process for his recently

published book, “The Cinema of the Coen Brothers,” which is used as the textbook for the class. When he was contracted to write the book, Adams said he figured there was no better way to delve into research on the duo than to teach a course on the brothers themselves.

“I integrated the teaching with my research and they became very closely related, which is something I don’t get to do often,” Adams said.

Many of the Coen brothers’ films fall into the category of film noir, a distinct era of film history with roots in German Expressionism. As a professor of German at UNC-Greensboro, Adams specializes in this area of research.

As course subject matter, Adams said he was also drawn to the Coen brothers because of the ease with which their movie texts can be used as springboards into other areas of study.

“Once I’ve got students on the hook, I can introduce them to other related literary texts, historical texts and even religious texts,” Adams said. “The study of the Coen brothers is very interdisciplinary.”

Will Dodson, the Ashby Residential College Coordinator at UNC-Greensboro and one of Adams’ former students, described a class with Adams as a “strange and multilayered experience, not unlike watching a Coen

brothers movie.”

Dodson said Adams “knows a vast amount about expressionism and film noir,” and added that part of his knowledge comes from the fact that he came to the field of media studies from a different field.

Students in the class watch films on their own time and then come prepared for a lecture and discussion with Adams.

“Classes with him are exceptionally challenging in a good way,” Dodson said. “Those who aren’t ready to bring the effort are generally left befuddled, but those who enjoy the challenge really have an enlightening time.”

Adams said the Coen brothers in particular are excellent subjects of study if one wants to be intellectually provoked. Adams said he likes the combination of “entertainment appeal and intellectualism” that informs the Coens’ films. He added that the general audience might not realize how much is hidden in the brothers’ film texts.

“For a course of study, you’re able to look at the Coen brothers as being parts of a whole,” Dodson said. “You look at their body of work and it’s a major artistic statement about 21st century America, and I think that’s really valuable.” brkenned@syr.edu

Next year’s Workshop for Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy will be held in Barcelona. The masterminds behind the conference want it to be held in Europe every four years.

Vallentyn said philosophers from all across the country and world, including those from Cornell University, Oxford University and the London School of Economics and Political Science, will be in attendance.

He added that this year the conference has a nice mix of younger and older philosophers.

The organizers held an open submission for papers, Vallentyn said, inviting political philosophers to submit their papers for the conference. The papers were selected blindly in order to determine who would present at this year’s conference.

Ken Baynes, professor of philosophy at SU, said the event coordinators received about 120 papers for this year’s event for a limited amount of spots, making the confer-

ence very competitive.

Each of the 10 presenters will also be accompanied by a commentator and a chairperson, who presides over the talk.

Included in the 10 presenters are two keynote speakers: Seana Shiffrin from the University of California at Los Angeles and Elizabeth Anderson from the University of Michigan. This year’s Sanders Prize winner, Keith Hyams from Warwick University, will also be one of the presenters at the event.

This is the first year that the Sanders Prize will be awarded during the Workshop for Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy.

Hyams will receive $10,000 for having the best paper submitted by a junior philosopher.

Vallentyn said the plan is to give the award at the conference every two years. The $10,000 award, which is funded by the Mark Sanders Foundation, will always go to a junior philosopher — a graduate student or someone who received their doctorate less than 15 years ago.

Sobel said the event is exciting because it draws attention to the philosophy department at the different schools that host it.

“It’s an opportunity to exchange ideas about political philosophy and to hear what these philosophers have come up with,” he said.

Matt Koehler, an eight-year graduate student studying political philosophy at SU, said he is looking forward to attending different talks during the conference and picking the brains of the political philosophers that will be in attendance.

“First and foremost, it’s nice to get individuals excited about political philosophy,” Koehler said. “It’s also nice exposure for the philosophy department as this will raise our profile and bring good attention to the program.” smswann@syr.edu | @saramswann

By Rachel Gilbert asst. copy editor

W

alton Street in downtown Syracuse is set to be transformed into a fashion runway on Thursday night. Models will grace the catwalk showcasing designs, accessories and styles all created by local businesses for “Syracuse Style,” the center piece of the city’s fall fashion week.

“Syracuse Style is the premier fashion event in Syracuse,” said Merike Treier, the executive director of the Downtown Committee, in a press release. The showcase aims to highlight the talents of clothing retailers, boutiques and salons in central New York.

This is the sixth year fashion week

will bring life to Armory Square. The event is organized by Lisa Butler, a local fashion designer of “Inspired Designs.” Downtown retailers will showcase designs, jewelry and accessories at 7 p.m. Thursday with four local salons styling the models.

The models will showcase various styles accessories for both men’s and women’s fashion. Some of the participating retailers sell brands that can be seen on students around campus including Lululemon Athletica, Hugo Boss and Ted Baker.

Kathie Morris, who works at The Changing Room, has six models walking the runway in her designs in her second time at Syracuse Style.

The Changing Room describes its products as “feminine, vintage see syracuse

The Syracuse Style event is going on this weekend in Armory Square. To continue the trend of the worldwide fashion month, here’s a look at Syracuse University student styles from 1950 to 1993.

By Alexis McDonell staff writer

1950 In the ‘50s, the U.S. was in a powerful position globally and fashion matched the mood of the country: cheerful. It was a time to play around with dress. This shirt dress, from 1950, shows off her tiny waist and the simple design of the dress keeps it classic.

1965 The ‘60s was a time when all fashion traditions were broken. People were finally able to express themselves as individuals — they could be mod, rocker or hippie.

This woman decided to embrace

the mod trend, which was much inspired by British model Twiggy.

Her skirt reaches above the knee, which was not seen before the ‘60s and paired with Mary Janes and a turtleneck. What really suits her outfit the most is her bob hairstyle which was big for that decade.

into the workforce in the ‘80s, fashion entered into the era of power dressing (think tight suits and shoulder pads). On the other spectrum, punk fashion rose to a high. The two in this picture have clearly embraced their style by dressing in graphic printed tees, snapback hats and denim.

1978 As the ‘60s eased into the ‘70s, the hippie trend eased itself from one decade to another. The ‘70s were defined by looser, more fluid silhouettes. The ‘70s also saw a rise in rock n’ roll, which produced a high interest in rock band T-shirts.

1993 Fashion in the ‘90s became a lot more casual and minimal, reflecting the carefree nature of America at that time. As you can see in the picture, men’s and women’s fashions of the ‘90s looked very similar. Women often wore masculine silhouettes and both genders often wore bright prints.

Graduate student, mother launch LIFT Protein Muffins

By Andrew Mendes contributing writer

Mother and son Debbie and Zach Schleien have been baking together for as long as Zach can remember. Now the duo is turning that family bonding time into a business.

The Schleiens created LIFT Protein Muffins, a small startup that sells protein-packed muffins.

Zach, a Syracuse University graduate student, started a Kickstarter campaign to help fund their business. With 13 days left, the duo has raised $4,101 as of Wednesday night. In only five days, they reached their goal of $2,500.

With hopes of becoming a nationwide brand, the Schleiens have signed a deal with Whole Foods to supply LIFT in their New England stores and an e-commerce site will be opening around October, Zach said.

“It’s so unique to see a mother-son team and I think people are drawn to that,” Zach said.

Although the event is free, various VIP ticket bundles are being sold for $50 and $160. $50 will buy a front row seat to the runway show and a gift bag containing coupons to local stores and freebies. For $160, fashion lovers will receive a street seat high top table, two bottles of wine, chocolate and a gift bag, all

Zach and Debbie felt they had a great idea and wanted to gauge if their product was going to be well-received, so they turned to the popular crowd-funding site, Kickstarter. The response was overwhelmingly positive.

Zach said he wanted to create a product for people who don’t know how to eat healthily. As a certified health coach, he knew that many people turn to protein shakes or pseudo superfoods to try and live healthier.

“There is a certain sense of nostalgia that is attributed with food,” Zach said. “I had a friend tell me our zucchini muffin reminded him of his mother’s cooking and that is exactly what my mom and I were aiming for.”

“While it felt great to see the project being funded, the Kickstarter was never the end goal,” Schleien said.

Zach said that he is very close to his mother and they call each other one to three times a day, whether it be discussing a route for the busi-

ness, or just talking to one another about life.

Debbie said that working with her son on this project has been “one of the most fantastically rewarding experiences I’ve ever had, after marriage and childbirth.”

Zach attended Syracuse for his undergraduate degree, earning his B.A. in history and minoring in marketing. After graduating in 2012 and taking a few years off, he has returned to Syracuse after receiving a grant to work on startups like LIFT. LIFT Protein Muffins are gluten-free, 100 percent paleo (a diet based on the types of foods presumed to have been eaten by early humans) and come in three flavors: banana chocolate, chocolate zucchini and apple cinnamon.

Sixteen to 19 grams of protein are packed into each muffin, depending on the flavor. The muffins come in packs of six and are frozen, requiring only a short amount of time in the microwave before they are ready to eat.

provided by local vendors.

Tara DeSalvo, the custom showroom manager for Mr. Shop, a men’s clothing store in Syracuse, said the event will be a special one. She said Lisa Butler, who organizes the event, “works her butt off” every year to put on a great show that benefits the community and raises money for charity. All of the proceeds from VIP ticket sales will be donated to the Food Bank of CNY. DeSalvo said she is hopeful SU students will attend Thursday’s festivities. She said it would be extremely beneficial for students to get down into Armory Square, if not just to see

how “cool” it is. Discussing the event’s longevity and growth DeSalvo said, “It’s still going and it gets better every year.”

Although Syracuse style is the centerpiece of Syracuse fashion week, it’s far from the only event. The celebration kicked off last week when the windows of The Landmark Theatre were brought to life by moving window displays. Twenty-two windows featured live models and displays created by 16 local businesses.

Each business created a concept around which they created their window design. The model was then styled to match that concept.

The windows have remained decorated since the unveiling in order to drum up excitement for Thursday’s transformation.

Organizers expect 300-400 spectators to attend the runway show after which guests are invited to an after-party at The Landmark Theatre.

DeSalvo said that the show could be a great platform for students to showcase their work in the future.

“The energy of it is just amazing it’s so cool,” DeSalvo said. “It’s just special.”

It’s so unique to see a mother-son team and I think people are drawn to that.

Syracuse Gun Show to bring firearm culture to New York State Fairgrounds

By Joe Leonard staff writer

T

wo weeks after the closing of the Great New York State Fair, the fairgrounds will once again be alive with vendors and consumers. The items that will be bought and sold, however, will be drastically different than anything you could find at the fair.

For the second time in 2015, the Syracuse Gun Show will roll into town this weekend. Put on by the New York State Arms Commission, the show offers more than 1,000 tables for over 300 vendors. The largest of its kind in the state, the show acts as a venue that brings together gun vendors, consumers and enthusiasts in one setting to celebrate firearm culture.

The Syracuse Gun Show has been held at the fairgrounds since 1954 and since the 1960s, someone in the Ackerman family has managed the show. Today that person is Sandy Ackerman Klinger, who took over management after her parents died ten years ago.

“One of the things I like to promote is the

passion and history in these shows,” said Klinger, who expects a very large crowd, selling out the vendor tables weeks ago. “I don’t even like to pick up the phone, because I hate to cancel on vendors.”

Since 1954, the Syracuse Gun Show has blended a mix of modern and historic firearms to provide show goers with a wide range of entertainment. The show is a place for vendors to sell firearms and ammunition, but also presents gun enthusiasts with a chance to view some incredibly historic and very expensive pieces.

Displays will come from both the United States and Canada and exhibit military relics dating from before the Revolutionary War to the present day. At the show, consumers can buy all types of weapons ranging from Colt Revolvers and high-grade double-barreled shotguns to other military items such as bowie knives and powder horns, according to nysfair.org.

Gun shows across the country are at a critical juncture as people throughout the United States debate Second Amendment rights. Just this week, a professor was shot and killed at

Delta State University. This is just one in a string of recent tragedies involving gun violence that have brought the debate about who should be able to purchase and own guns to the forefront of news coverage.

“When you read and hear about all these horrible things, everyone is aware that there is a mental issue involved,” said Klinger. She said the people that buy and sell guns at gun shows should not suffer because of these events. “We are the good guys.”

In 2013, gun show operators in New York, including Klinger, agreed to new procedures required by the New York Attorney General’s Office to ensure that criminal and mental health background checks for buyers had been conducted.

Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman had two undercover agents attempt to buy firearms at gun shows without the proper background checks. Schneiderman charged 10 vendors at six shows across the state of New York with a Class A misdemeanor and began enforcing stricter rules, according to the Attorney General’s Office.

The shows that Klinger manages have never

been part of the problem, but she was happy to oblige the new rules anyway.

“You got to make sure people know the rules,” she said. “We have to jump through so many hoops just to put this show on, but we don’t want any issues.”

Every gun at the fairgrounds this weekend will have been checked on the way in, and every gun that leaves will be checked on the way out. If buyers do not have the appropriate tags on their purchases, they will not be able to keep them.

However, the crowd that Klinger expects should not have a problem following these rules.

“It’s not a bunch of bad guys, it’s everyday people like lawyers, doctors and businessmen,” said Klinger, who does not own a gun herself. “If there were no gun shows, where would these people buy these things legally?”

The show is $6 for adult entry, $5 for seniors and free for kids under 12 with an adult. It opens Saturday at 9 a.m. and remains open until 5 p.m. If you can’t make it on Saturday, the show reopens on Sunday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. joepleonar@syr.edu

Syracuse moving on from extended scoring drought

By Matt Alexander staff writer

LOUIS CROSS (5) AND BEN POLK (7) set up on a corner kick against Louisville last Friday night. Two of SU’s five goals allowed have come off corners. logan reidsma photo editor from page 16

corners caused SU to stray from its man-to-man setup and play a single line of zone defense.

“We’re a new team and a young team,” McIntyre said. “We’re still learning and kind of tweaking some things.”

McIntyre drills his players in practice about “having an appetite to defend.” Before each game, he decides what defensive formation his team will use to combat corner kicks based on his players’ abilities, not the opponent’s.

Typically the Orange spreads itself out with men on each goalpost, one player in the middle of the six-yard box and one at the top of it while the remaining players match up with an oppo-

nent of similar size.

Juuso Pasanen and Cross ensure McIntyre’s practice mantra is not forgotten. The duo has emerged as the de facto leaders on defense, verbally orchestrating the counterattack on each corner-kick attempt.

“It’s really all about being hungry and trying to get to the ball first,” Miller said. “We just need communication from one person whether we’re going to step out (of the box) or stay in.”

With players from all positions getting in the mix on corner-kick attempts, the aim for a defense is to control the chaos.

“It’s a different mindset you have to have on a set piece,” Miller said. “You have to know you’re going to be first to the ball.” cgrossma@syr.edu | @connorgrossman

The clock hit all zeroes Friday night against Cornell and Syracuse slowly jogged off the field of another scoreless game.

Frustration loomed large. Jackie Firenze struggled to find words for the lack of production. Syra-cuse head coach Phil Wheddon said his players weren’t connecting the final pass on the attack.

“It’s really a whole team effort,” Firenze said following the game. “We all need to talk about it off the field and kind of bring it on the field.”

So on Saturday, a team meeting was held and opinions were put out in the open.

Fifth-year senior Alexis Koval called it a gut check. Everyone spoke. Even the freshmen and in-jured players shared their thoughts. Syracuse coaches participated as well to try and decipher what was missing on the field.

“We knew that each one of us weren’t bringing what we had to the table,” Koval said. “So all we went through … what we thought we were missing. And everybody said desire.”

Syracuse responded differently in its next game against Colgate on Sunday, scoring twice in the second half for its first win in four games. It was a testament to the team’s added emphasis placed on technique and routine in practice. Syracuse (3-41) will try to carry that momentum into Thursday’s 7 p.m. contest against Drexel (6-2) at SU Soccer Stadium.

When Syracuse was struggling to score, Wheddon said he chose not to overemphasize the issue or the frustration. Overthinking could lead to further problems, he said, and drilling the need to score too much would prove counterproductive.

“We did a balance,” Wheddon said. “We did some finishing sessions and then we eased off and just talked about how we need to play.”

He turned to steady progression: Drills with no pressure, then a little bit of pres-

sure, then full pressure. The routine is how Syracuse has been able to establish a rapport among one another.

Syracuse scrimmaged on a condensed field with shorter boundaries in Tuesday’s practice. The team split between blue practice jerseys and yellow pinnies and the players executed quick give-and-go’s, weaving the ball through each other with adept quickness.

We always talk about having more dynamic runs up top and being dynamic in attack.

Jackie Firenze su midfielder

The smaller field forced speedy decisions and increased the pace of play on the ball. It’s the type of quick and high-pressure play Wheddon said Syracuse is expecting from Drexel.

“We always talk about having more dynamic runs up top and being dynamic in attack,” Firenze said.

On Sunday, Koval looped around her defender, received the ball and scored deep in the box.

It was a blindside run — when a player runs out of a defender’s field of vision to get open and receive a pass — and is something Syracuse has been practicing to add an element of surprise on the field.

Wheddon called it technical repetition, and staying true to the process is what Syracuse has done all season.

Consistent offense, however, has been more difficult for Syracuse. Two goals on Sunday brought a much-needed boost of confidence. Now, SU will look to put all the pieces together and contin-ue the upswing.

“The season’s been rolling; unfortunately we haven’t caught up to it yet,” Wheddon said.

“Sunday was our best performance so far.

We’re hoping that we can put out the same type of performance on Thursday.” mralex01@syr.edu

recruiting Clarke, a Class of 2016 player, hadn’t visited Syracuse yet, so the coaches didn’t accept his commitment.

The next day, Clarke tweeted, “(Shaking my head) thought the big orange was the place.”

But after speaking with tight ends coach Jake Moreland, Clarke learned that he needed to visit SU first. He’s now setting up a visit to SU at some point this fall. “‘I don’t know where I want to go anymore because I really wanted to go to Syracuse,’” Clarke recalled. “But then they said, ‘We still want you. We just want you to come visit our campus.’ … I was like alright, that’s fine.”

Once Clarke visits campus, the coaching staff will get a better sense of how he might fit in with the team. Or, perhaps the coaches will realize that he wouldn’t be a good fit.

A lot of those kids will say no to us and there are instances where we have to say no to them as well.

Scott Shafer syracuse head coach

That’s what happened to Class of 2016 Colonia (New Jersey) High School outside linebacker Solomon Manning. After attending Syracuse’s prospect camp in June, Manning was hoping to make a decision days later so he could wrap up his recruitment and focus on his senior year.

Manning’s top three choices were SU, Rutgers and North Carolina. But on his ride home from Syracuse, wide receivers coach Bobby Acosta contacted him and said he wouldn’t be able to commit to SU until midway through the season. The decision to make the offer uncommittable was Shafer’s, Manning said. Acosta told Manning that Shafer thought he was stiff in the hips.

“If you give someone an offer and they can’t commit to it, it’s like giving someone a car and they can’t drive it,” Manning said.

Over the next few months, Manning would have to improve his flexibility for his offer to be back in tact. But he wanted to commit over the summer, so he ruled out the Orange and committed to Rutgers.

In the next two weeks, two outside linebackers verbally committed to the Orange.

While it’s unknown how many OLB spots remain, it’s two fewer spots than were available when Manning committed to Rutgers.

“If I knew it wouldn’t be committable until the season, I didn’t want to take that chance waiting on them and then never making an offer because they would have other spots fill up,” he said.

Managing who can and can’t commit is tough, White said. Once SU hits the desired number, it won’t take another player at that position unless their talent is off the charts.

Regardless of how strong a relationship is with a player, the Orange sticks to Shafer’s formula.

SU follows a structure similar to most schools, Shafer and White both said. And despite recognizing its flaws, Syracuse carries on with it.

“When spots are gone, they’re gone, for the most part,” White said. “It’s a bad deal, but it’s kind of how the business works.” pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

New recruiting policy complicating management of available scholarships

By Paul Schwedelson asst. copy editor

S

cott Shafer called it a formula that comes down to numbers and timing.

The Orange’s coaching staff has a desired number of players it wants at each position within the 85-scholarship allotment. Once they reach that for each recruiting class, the opportunity for other players essentially closes — even if they have a scholarship offer.

Offering more scholarships than spots available is a necessity, but also problematic.

“A lot of those kids will say no to us and there are instances where we have to say no to them as well,” Syracuse head coach Shafer said.

As big-time recruits have started verbally committing as sophomores and juniors, Shafer said SU’s coaching staff added a prerequisite this year. In order to further evaluate prospects, it wouldn’t accept a commitment unless a player visited campus first, barring extenuating circumstances.

But by implementing that rule, Syracuse has temporarily turned down players that already received scholarship offers.

“When you see his film and it says he’s 6-foot-5 and you see him in person he’s at 6-foot-1,” SU’s director of recruiting operations Eric White said of a hypothetical situation, “… Now we don’t know if we can take someone at his position that doesn’t hit the criteria that we wanted.”

In June, Class of 2016 offensive

illustration by dani pendergast art director

tackle Sam Heckel planned on committing to Northwestern. But just four days earlier, the Wildcats received a verbal from another offensive lineman.

All of a sudden, Heckel didn’t have a spot.

“Most schools just care about the player not the person,” Heckel said.

When Heckel visited Syracuse a couple weeks following the Northwestern situation, he received a scholarship offer and guards and centers coach Joe Adam told him that SU only had one spot left at the

position. Fearing that he would lose another opportunity, Heckel chose the Orange two days later.

If another offensive lineman had committed to Syracuse before Heckel, he wouldn’t have a spot on the team.

After Class of 2016 wide receiver KJ Gray committed to Boston College in June, it was reported by Syracuse.com that he was told two months earlier that SU didn’t have any more spots left at his position.

Sadiq Palmer was the second Class of 2016 player to choose the Orange and

is the only wide receiver in the class.

Gray declined to comment for this story.

“We try to avoid (uncommittable offers) if we can,” White said. “But a lot of times what will happen is … this kid committed to us and now we’re full and we can’t take the other kid. But we try to be upfront with the kid as much as we can (beforehand) and just tell them, ‘Hey, we have two spots left at this position.’”

By adding in the mandatory pre-commitment visit, Syracuse’s

coaches get a better picture of whom they’re recruiting. They can actually shake the recruit’s hand instead of exchanging direct messages on Twitter. They can look them in the eye instead of looking at their avatar photo.

In late July, Osceola (Florida) High School defensive back Devon Clarke tweeted that he was committing to Syracuse. He had an offer from SU, but didn’t talk to the coaches before sending the tweet. He didn’t know the Orange’s rules. see recruiting page 15

Syracuse grooming inexperienced defenders on corner kicks

By Connor Grossman asst. sports editor

The importance of defending corner kicks isn’t lost on Syracuse’s inexperienced starting defenders.

Even with freshmen Kamal Miller and Miles Robinson, SU’s veterans ensure the memories are still fresh.

The Orange’s 2014 season ended in the third round of the NCAA tournament when Georgetown converted on two corner kicks — one in the 80th

minute and a game-winner in overtime.

It was the Hoyas’ only goals off corner kicks all season, and it’s a painful statistic that SU has translated into a newfound precision and delicacy.

“It’s about knowing how much it means to defend set pieces,” defender Louis Cross said. “You don’t want to concede sloppy goals.”

Syracuse has allowed only five goals in five games this season, but two have come off services from corners. The Orange (3-1-1, 0-0-1 Atlantic

Coast) will continue to fine-tune its defensive mechanics with its youthful defense when it plays at Wake Forest (5-1, 1-0) on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

SU was most recently victimized on a corner kick against Louisville on Saturday. The ball ricocheted out of the box to an open Daniel Johnson, who converted on his shot.

“Defending restarts, you’ve got to understand your role,” McIntyre said. “Attack spaces and also

ensure that your guy doesn’t end up converting the chance.”

In the heart of the mosh of players was Miller, who said he saw some of Syracuse’s defenders mistakenly step out of the box to try and draw the Cardinals offside while others stayed back to defend.

The Orange was caught in transition as it tried to acclimate to a zone formation to defend the corner kick.
