OF SERVICE SU explores idea of opening a tuitionfree, veteran-focused medical school

By Alexa Torrens asst. news editor

I

f Syracuse University’s idea of a veteran-focused medical school comes to fruition, 40 to 60 undergraduates would enter the school tuition-free on a commitment that they will care for veterans in VA hospitals across the nation upon graduation.

The length of that commitment and the specific VA sites students would serve at are unknown. This is because the idea is still in

discussion among SU faculty and administrators and also under a microscope by Pittsburgh-based consulting firm Tripp Umbach.

The concept of the medical school is very much like ROTC, said Mike Haynie, vice chancellor of veterans and military affairs at SU. Students will come to SU tuition-free but incur an obligation for national service as healthcare providers in the VA medical system, which projects a 22,000 doctor shortage within the next 10 see veterans page 8

Scott Shafer needs to address the realities outside SU’s 3-0 record

S

cott Shafer was 21 seconds into his postgame press conference when he first said “3-0.” In the next 10 seconds, he recited Syracuse’s record and the phrase “24 years” three times each.

“So let’s not lose that with our questions,” the SU head coach said. “You guys with me?”

Shafer started off by trying to manipulate the media situated before him. After a 30-27

CLASS IS IN SESSION

overtime win against Central Michigan, a victory that gave the Orange three consecutive wins to start a season for the first time since 1991, Shafer stuck true to his motto of “right

here and right now.”

He snapped when asked point-blank if freshman quarterback Eric Dungey had a concussion.

He sarcastically preceded a reporter’s question with “drum roll” after the same reporter asked last week about red-zone struggles. He replaced a reporter’s last name with “downer” and told him not to be one this weekend.

Shafer did acknowledge the defense bend-

ing a little too much, stress brought about by his team’s youth and overall needs for improvement. But with No. 8 LSU visiting next weekend, coming off a 24-point win against Auburn, Shafer savored his in-the-moment mentality with a little too much vigor.

Don’t get it twisted, 24 years is a long time and a 3-0 start is certainly cause to celebrate. see schneidman page 12

Taylor Swift superfan talks meeting celebrity

noon hi 73° lo 52°

By Molly Berger contributing writer

While standing in Taylor Swift’s New York City apartment, the music icon told Syracuse University student Melissa Cubit something she’ll always remember: Being an awkward dancer is OK. The opportunity to meet Swift came when the artist held a live stream for her 2014 album “1989,” inviting fans to apply to see it at ABC studios.

Cubit submitted her application and was one of 89 people chosen out of at least 5,000. Cubit, a longtime fan of Swift, said she couldn’t believe she made the cut.

“I’ve been listening to her for so long, probably since I was 11 or 12, so for me it’s like I grew up with her,” Cubit said.

After the show ended, the selected applicants were told that they were going to get pizza.

Swift stood in her apartment and personally talked to each of the fans for a few minutes. Cubit was even able to snap a picture with the pop star and pet her cat.

Swift and Cubit even got to chat about the star’s chart-topping ‘Shake it Off’ music video. The video shows

Community marches to support Bernie Sanders

By Connor Layden contributing writer

Sporting a top hat plastered with red, white and blue stars, Amos Race chanted, “Feel the Bern!” in a British accent.

“I am a cynical old git and I’m here,” he said. “And I think there’s a lot of cynical old gits, frankly, who are going, ‘You know what? I will get behind this man because now we can make it happen.’”

Around 50 people gathered at the Westcott Community Center on Sunday afternoon in support of Sen. Sanders at the Westcott Street Cultural Fair. Supporters ranged from young

to old, all of whom were emphatically voicing their trust in Sanders.

The event was volunteer-led and not organized by anyone in Sanders’ official campaign.

Race, who was born in England and has lived in the U.S. for 15 years, is a freelance medical writer and an avid supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who is on the Democratic ticket for the 2016 presidency.

While New York state might not fully be behind Sanders, there’s a lot of excitement around the country for the candidate, Race said.

“We hope a lot of people are watching us and joining,” said Peggy Sterne, a 92-year-old woman. “He’s for every-

thing that I believe in and everything that’s good for the country.”

Sanders is running against Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley, Lincoln Chafee, Lawrence Lessig and Jim Webb in the Democratic primary. Currently he is second in the 2016 National Democratic Primary poll, according to a Sept. 18 Huffington Post article.

As more people arrived, ralliers handed out pamphlets, talked about Sanders’ goals and created signs with political slogans describing the campaign. Some read “Running for the 99%,” “A vote for Bernie is a vote for the people” and the highly popular “Feel the Bern.”

Signs and chants consistently reflected a goal of Sanders’ campaign: To represent the interests of the people and not those of the wealthy 1 percent.

“Bernie doesn’t want the money from the billionaires,” Camillus resident Mike Manley said. “He’s raised well over $18 million from people like us with donations of $25 or less; he is a people person and he sticks to his platform.”

Manley was among other supporters who sang while marching down Westcott Street. Led by a blaring trumpet horn, parade classics such as “When the Saints Go Marching In” see sanders page 6

Philosophy conference draws large attendance

By Genna Schindel contributing writer

The third annual Workshop for Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy, which was hosted at Syracuse University this weekend, attracted large crowds of students, faculty and philosophers from around the world.

The most crowded day for the conference was Friday, with professors from many different departments, in addition to philosophy, in attendance. The conference, one of the most well-known political philosophy conferences in the world, featured keynote lectures by a UCLA professor and a University

of Michigan professor.

Martha Garcia-Murillo, a professor in the School of Information Studies, was interested in how the conference related to her field of study.

“I can apply what I have learned about the ideas of inequality and how it has changed over time to my understanding of technology and its

effect on inequality,” she said.

A major theme at the conference was the idea of justice.

George Sher, a professor at Rice University who spoke on Sunday, focused on the idea that it is implausible to take justice to be a matter of desert, or the condition of being see conference page 6

Fifty-seven percent of college students classified themselves as having good or excellent personal finance skills, according to a recent study.

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants conducted the study to determine if college students are financially astute. The AICPA conducted the study online during the first two weeks of August.

Results were drawn from a sample of 751 students who are currently enrolled in a higher education institution. The study was weighted to account for how participants might respond in an online setting.

Carly Fiorina stands out, Ben Carson fails to impress at GOP debate

C

NN hosted the second GOP debate on Wednesday, making it the most watched broadcast in the network’s history at 23.1 million viewers. As with any debate, there are winners and losers. And while not every candidate proved to be fitting for either group, there were certainly two that stood out.

Winner: Carly Fiorina truly proved her worthiness for the presidency in Wednesday’s debate by taking on some big topics and well-known candidates. Her two most impressive moments were her scathing criticism of Planned Parenthood, and her witty attacks against Donald Trump.

In response to the popularized Planned Parenthood bill, which would defund the organization, Fiorina challenged Democratic figures to watch the infamous Planned Parenthood tapes, and still veto the bill.

“I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes... watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says, ‘We have to keep

VICTORIA RAZZI CANDIDLY CONSERVATIVE

it alive to harvest its brain,’” Fiorina said.

While this is a very difficult topic to take on due to its controversial nature, Fiorina’s responses earned her a thunderous applause from the crowd. This moment and the immediate approval of the crowd proved that she holds true to traditional Republican values in addition to highlighting her professionalism in discussing this issue.

Fiorina also called out Trump by hitting him where it hurts, his misogynistic treatment of women. She proved her own strength by using her well-developed public speaking skills to show people that maybe it is time for a woman to be in charge.

In response to comments Trump had made about her appearance, and then tried to take back, Fiorina said, “I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr. Trump said.”

Fiorina might just be exactly what the Republican party needs at this moment. She

is intelligent, not afraid to take on Trump and staunchly defends GOP ideals.

One of the most impressive aspects of her performance in the debate was how well she was able to provide succinct and informative answers to each question she was asked.

Fiorina proved that she genuinely has a plan for many imminent problems facing the United States, including Iran, which provides voters with a lot of confidence. If she can continue to provide American citizens with plans for the future and well-formed opinions, Fiorina may have a real shot at winning in 2016.

easily rebutted, but chose not to. He kept a calm demeanor during the debate, and interjected here and there, but overall, he failed to make a memorable impression.

Carson’s performance could be detrimental to his campaign. He was initially a front-runner, and this debate was an opportunity to secure his spot.

However, his future is quite uncertain at this juncture because of his underwhelming performance. It is definitely going to be interesting to see if he can bounce back from this blow, and get back in the running.

Loser:

Moving forward:

While his non-political background caught people’s interest early on, Dr. Ben Carson found himself struggling to retain affection in Wednesday’s debate.

Carson had multiple opportunities to steal the spotlight, especially when when it came to knocking Trump off his pedestal, but he decided to play it safe — too safe.

There was even a point where Trump gave some seemingly faulty scientific facts regarding vaccinations, which Carson could have

After her performance in the second debate, Fiorina seems to be the candidate everyone is talking about. Other hopefuls should use the remaining time before the election to provide voters with a clear picture of who they are as a candidate, what they believe and how they hope to inspire change if elected to office.

editorial board

Med school for veterans can set standard Syracuse University has the potential to be the best university in the country for veterans’ affairs, and the proposed medical school can make this a reality.

The administration is exploring the creation of a veteran-focused medical school and announced last week the formation of a 21-member committee to examine the feasibility of bringing such a school to the SU campus. The committee must submit a report of its findings to the chancellor by early October.

While specifics of the initiative are highly speculative at this point, the establishment of a veteran-focused medical school would be the first of its kind in the United States. SU should do what it can to help veterans, and the creation of a veteran-focused medical school is an

opportunity to place the university at the forefront of veterans’ affairs on a national basis.

Although financial support for the project should not come at the expense of existing schools, funding for the proposed college should not be seen as an obstacle, as monetary donations for veteran endeavors are not uncommon. Earlier this year, the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, a nonprofit organization at SU, received a total of $8.5 million in funding from external sources over the course of only three weeks.

The idea of a medical school at SU stemmed from the Academic Strategic Plan workgroup — a component of Chancellor Kent Syverud’s Fast Forward Syracuse initiative.

While the university community often hears of meetings associated

scribble

with Fast Forward Syracuse and the Campus Master Plan, the medical school proposal and the efforts behind it serve as a tangible example of the transformative ideas that can result from these collaborations.

The concept is an extension of two goals Syverud listed for the university in his inauguration speech in April 2014: to enhance the undergraduate experience and to restore SU as the best place for veterans. The creation of the medical school would bring these goals together and has even interested the United States Department of Veteran Affairs, including VA Secretary Bob McDonald.

While SU considers the feasibility of the proposal, the university should act on its capability to lead efforts of enhancing veterans’ affairs as an academic institution.

gender and sexuality

Students should lead cultural change to accept all gender identities

E

veryone is entitled to be called what they want. And now, more universities in New York are taking a positive step by promoting inclusive terminology regarding students and their varying identities.

The State University of New York system is creating a database with inclusive terms on how students would like to be identified.

This is part of a new diversity policy Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced earlier this month in hopes of encouraging universities to acknowledge the vast spectrum of gender identity.

SUNY students will now be able to select one of seven options, including man, woman, transgender man, transgender woman, genderqueer, genderfluid, questioning or unsure.

If students feel none of these are

specific enough to their personal preference, they can also write in their own identification term.

Embracing gender diversity is an important step for people to feel comfortable and safe in expressing themselves. While Syracuse University should follow the SUNY example and use gender-inclusive terms in university documents, the measure will only be successful if students embrace the responsibility of acknowledging each other’s identities and respecting gender pronouns.

“With this new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy, we are once again sending a strong message that the Empire State is

a national leader and a beacon of inclusion for all students,” Cuomo said in a statement.

Cuomo’s words are indicative of the important role New York plays setting an example for how universities and colleges should recognize their students’ individuality. And now, SU students should see this as an opportunity to inspire cultural change across the country.

Students should promote inclusive dialogue on campus by asking others how they like to be identified.

Then they should continue to refer to the person in the way they request.

It’s best not to assume, and not to deliberately refer to others as anything outside of what they want. Being conscious of how our dialogue impacts others creates a safe environment for all students, no matter how they identify on the

gender spectrum.

Liken it to someone purposely mispronouncing your name, after you’ve explained clearly how it is supposed to sound.

When it is understood that identity is made up of different elements that reflect the individual, students are more likely to honor one another and encourage the discourse that best represents how someone chooses to be seen.

Universities are a place where people can discover and become comfortable with who they are.

For these institutions to embrace gender identities that are different from those within the traditional binary is an important step of acceptance.

Harvard University made news earlier this month in encouraging students to register for the new

academic year under a gender or genderless pronoun. The university is giving students the ability to use either traditional pronouns such as “she” or “he,” or alternative ones including “ze” or “hir.”

Creating inclusive dialogue policies will likely make its way to SU, but will begin with students working with one another to accentuate the importance of appropriate gender pronoun language.

There is a freedom in allowing people to be themselves, and to deny this right further delegitimizes students who may already be marginalized for their identities.

Launch NY to help upstate startups with $500,000 grant

By Arva Hassonjee contributing writer

A grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce will allow the New York State Science and Technology Law Center at Syracuse University to give advice to budding local entrepreneurs.

Launch NY, a nonprofit aimed at helping companies and improving the entrepreneurship culture in upstate New York, has set up a partnership with the SU center to allow for clients to receive advice and support, targeted to life sciences and high-tech companies. The $500,000 grant, which also helped Launch NY, set up an affiliation with the Innovation Center of the Rockies.

Launch NY identifies, supports and invests in high-growth, high-impact companies “to drive and transform the economy through entrepreneurship,” said President and CEO Marnie LaVigne.

An important aspect of the program is to help companies with high growth potential make it to the market. The services offered by SU are critical to making that happen, LaVigne said.

Seth Lazar, a professor at the Research School of Social Sciences at the Australian National University, and Laura Valentini, a professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science, also talked about the idea of justice, but in the context of war.

Lazar and Valentini spoke about their paper, “Proxy Battle in the Ethics of War,” which discusses the just war debate between the orthodox and revisionist theories of justice.

companies — which add up to about 1,000 jobs — since 2012, said Jack Rudnick, director of NYS STLC and of SU’s Technology Commercialization Law Program.

Rudnick said economic growth is going to come from these startups because they are the companies that are hiring. The technology and law center helps startup companies by informing them about intellectual property, its regulations, competitive analysis and what the market looks like.

“You take those services and match them with what Launch NY is trying to do, helping startups in their region ... it’s a perfect relationship,” Rudnick said.

Launch NY sends select clients who are in the product or technology fields to NYS STLC. Rudnick said he, along with his colleagues, graduate students and law students, help these clients in the initial stage.

New York state provided a grant to the academic program that involves two to three credit programs that Rudnick teaches because of the work the NYS STLC does, said Molly Zimmerman, associate director of the NYS STLC. “They saw the efficacy of what we were

Wesley would yell: “Who do we want?” to which the crowd would respond, “Bernie!” The same format continued with: “When do we want him?” “Now!” “We want to get the message out that Sanders wants to work for everyone and we’re trying to have folks in Syracuse to ‘Feel the Bern’ as much as we do,” Wesley said.

Deborah Justice, a music history professor

at Syracuse University, also walked in the rally by playing a string instrument and singing with other supporters. She said she didn’t realize how many people felt so passionately or that there were so many local supporters of Sanders.

She added that she sees it as a positive that people care when there’s an event such as the one Sunday.

Throughout the half hour of parading down Westcott Street, some bystanders observed the march while others yelled, “Feel the Bern!” and “Go Bernie!” at the ralliers.

Others, who were not part of the rally to begin with, often began to walk with the supporters down the barricaded streets after they were given pamphlets.

batant equality and noncombatant immunity.

Lazar and Valentini argue that the specific focus on first-order moral disputes led revisionists and orthodox into this battle. However, deeper second-order disagreements of nature and purpose of political theory are also traceable.

“We’re not talking about whether or not to stop at a traffic lights, but whether or not to kill an innocent person,” Lazar said.

David Sobel, one of the conference organizers and a philosophy professor at SU, said the use of commentators was a new and “successful” addition to the conference this year.

“It provoked even more talk and constructive criticism,” Sobel said.

Sobel said the tone of the conference also

improved, as the conversations were more polite, constructive and cooperative than in past years.

“The quality of the conference was exceptionally high this year,” said Sher, who also attended the conference last year at the University of Missouri.

Sher said he also appreciated the new structure of the conference, as the speakers were limited and stretched over the course of three days rather than many speakers being compacted into two days. He added that it was easier to stay focused and engaged on the speakers when there were fewer of them.

Renee Bolinger, a graduate student at the University of Southern California, said she loved the conference because she got to inter-

act with internationally-renowned philosophers with “cutting edge ideas.”

Many conference attendees enjoyed Elizabeth Anderson’s keynote speech on Saturday on “The Problem of Equality from a Political Economy Perspective,” giving her the biggest turnout of the three-day event.

Nicole Dular, a graduate student studying philosophy at SU, said she was impressed with Anderson’s viewpoints and ability to “keep in mind what was important.”

“I love philosophy because it’s just like a puzzle,” Dular said. “It makes me a better person because I have the ability to critically evaluate myself and everything around me.”

have less than $100 in the bank.

Elder said that while Whitman students may have more exposure to budgeting based off of their curriculum, all college students should be actively seeking ways to be better financial planners.

The rise of technology may have caused the generation of current college students to have problems with budgeting and long-term financial planning, said Maryann Monforte, a professor of accounting practice in Whitman.

“I gained a lot of my skills from watching my parents budgeting,” Monforte said. “But today, so much of it is online, kids aren’t watching their parents sit at the table and pay their bills.”

Monforte said with the rise of technology — particularly online monitoring and banking

apps — students think they already know how much money is in their bank account, and aren’t making budgets because they are aware of how much money they have. However they aren’t usually thinking about how long the money will last, she added.

Susan Weinstock, director of consumer banking at Pew Charitable Trusts, a financial research and public policy organization, said the statistic that 50 percent of college students who had less than $100 in the bank at some point in the last year could put these college students at risk of having to pay an overdraft fee.

Many banks have an optional program in which the bank will charge an overdraft fee if there are not sufficient funds in an account

to complete a transaction. This will prevent the consumer’s card from getting declined, allowing the transaction to go through. Pew Charitable Trusts found that 52 percent of people who opt into this program do not realize they are even in it.

Weinstock added that it is important for students to find out whether they have opted in to pay these fees, and that they can always contact their bank to opt out.

Elder, the accounting professor in Whitman, said it’s usually after graduation when the learning takes place.

Elder said: “It is when a student graduates and is truly on their own, that’s when the real learning of personal finance comes in.”

They saw the efficacy of what we were doing and so they gave us a grant of a million dollars over three years.

dents to learn as it provides them with projects to work on, Zimmerman said.

Heather Roark Parker, a third-year law student, is in charge of creating an intellectual property landscape surrounding a particular technology that Launch NY approaches the law center with. Parker said often times an entrepreneur has a promising idea, but a deter-

mination of its worth can’t be made until later in the process.

“The purpose of an intellectual property landscape is to evaluate patents that may be similar to the presented technology and identify whether the entrepreneur has a competitive advantage,” Parker said. “If it is found a patent of another directly conflicts with the presented technology, the entrepreneur will likely have a more complicated path to commercialization.”

Parker added that the intellectual property landscape, which is commonly referred to as due diligence, provides a broad view of competing technologies.

Jessica Chesher, who looks after the marketing and communications tasks along with managing some of the grant money, said the center is naturally set up to be a partner with Launch NY. “The organizations have many mutual interests in terms of helping people even though they have slightly different capabilities,” Chesher said. “NYS STLC hones in on the specific legal aspects whereas Launch NY is more broad in their works.” ahassonj@syr.edu

Welcoming state Cuomo announces new SUNY diversity, inclusion policy illustration by dani pendergast art director

By Rachel Sandler asst. news editor

A

ll SUNY schools are now subject to a new diversity policy that requires each school to hire a chief diversity officer.

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy will apply to each State University of New York campus — including State University of New York Environmental Science and Forestry — to employ a chief diversity officer, according to a press release from New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office.

SUNY-ESF already has an interim chief diversity officer, said Quentin Wheeler, the university’s president.

The policy also includes a data collection tool for SUNY colleges to collect information about sexual orientation and gender identity from students. These fields will only be voluntary, though, and not mandatory for students to fill out, according to the release.

“SUNY makes another clear statement that it is a welcoming

place for members of the LGBTQ communities,” Richard Socarides, a member of the SUNY Board of Trustees, said in the release.

The goal of the policy, according to the release, is to have SUNY campuses mirror the population demographics of New York state.

“With this new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy, we are once again sending a strong message that the Empire State is a national leader and a beacon of inclusion for all students,” Cuomo said in the release.

For the 2014 academic year, 59.6 percent of students attending SUNY schools were white and 10.8 percent and 10.2 percent were Hispanic/Latino and black, respectively, according to a SUNY data brief. The statewide populations for Hispanics/ Latinos and blacks are 16.4 percent and 14.6 percent, respectively, according to United States Census Bureau statistics.

“New York State’s communities and schools are becoming increasingly diverse and our colleges and universities are hosting more and more first-generation students,” SUNY Board

Chairman H. Carl McCall said in the release. “SUNY is proud to implement this comprehensive diversity and inclusion policy on behalf of today’s students and those who will attend SUNY for years to come.”

The policy defines diversity to include, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and expression, age, socioeconomic status, status as a veteran, status as a student with a disability, first-generation students and international students or those transferring between colleges, according to the release.

The policy was created in response to suggestions from the SUNY Diversity Task Force, which was created in January 2014

by SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher, according to a September TimesUnion article.

Said Zimpher: “As the public university system serving one of the nation’s most diverse states, it is essential that SUNY adapt to the evolving needs of all students.” rsandler@syr.edu

veterans years, Haynie said.

“I think what we’re doing here is potentially providing another way for young people to serve — an alternative to, for example, putting on a uniform,” Haynie said.

The students’ tuition would be funded by donations, a tangible piece of the goodwill Haynie said this country has toward the veteran community.

The idea of a veteran-focused medical school intrigued the United States Department of Veteran Affairs, including VA Secretary Bob McDonald, when SU administrators met with the department in Washington, D.C., Haynie said.

“VA hospitals support the residencies for almost every medical school in the country, but what’s interesting and what was intriguing from the VA’s perspective was never in their history have they had the opportunity to actually be part of and be at the table in terms of creating a new medical school,” Haynie said.

The medical school idea stemmed from the Academic Strategic Plan workgroup — a component of Chancellor Kent Syverud’s Fast Forward Syracuse initiative. The workgroup saw an opportunity for SU to help veterans with clinical health and wellness issues nationwide, Haynie said, but this opportunity was blocked

by SU’s lack of a medical school.

The idea came forward to start a servicemodel medical school “that is specifically focused toward preparing medical professionals to serve the sometimes unique needs of those who have served in uniform — the 22.5 million veterans in this country,” Haynie — who spent 14 years in the military — said.

The concept is also an extension of two goals Syverud listed out for the university

dailyorange.com news@dailyorange.com

in his inauguration speech in April 2014: to enhance the undergraduate experience and to restore SU as the best place for veterans to gain a college education.

A veteran-focused medical school brings both those goals together, said Kevin Quinn, SU’s senior vice president for public affairs.

Syverud’s goal to make SU the best institution of higher learning for veterans is a reflection of the university’s rich history in veterans’ affairs.

Former Chancellor William Tolley was invited by then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt at the end of World War II to be part of a team that created the original G.I. Bill, Haynie said.

I think what we’re doing here is potentially providing another way for young people to serve an alternative to, for example, putting on a uniform.

Mike Haynie

vice chancellor of veterans and military affairs at su

Upon his return to Syracuse, Tolley addressed a letter to returning war veterans, and wrote that any returning war veteran that wanted a college education was welcome to come to SU, Haynie said. The addition of veterans propelled SU from a small school of 5,000 students to a university of 17,000 students by the middle of 1950, Haynie added.

The letter hangs on a wall of a conference room in SU’s Institute of Veterans and Military Families — a reminder of the work the university has done for the veteran community, and a reason to keep doing that work.

“At the same time that (Tolley) did that, the president of Harvard gives a speech saying you know, they’re not welcome here,” Haynie said. “We did something different, and as a consequence it transformed this place. And I think what we’re talking about now is a similar kind of opportunity.”

This opportunity is under intense review by two parallel efforts: the internal faculty advisory committee and the external consulting firm Tripp Umbach.

The purpose of the 21-member faculty advisory committee, which represents nine colleges across the university, is to collect input and information regarding the medical school from faculty in different departments and colleges, said Sean O’Keefe, chair of the committee and a University Professor. The committee will consolidate their findings in a report due to the chancellor on Oct. 5.

O’Keefe said a concern among faculty members with any new initiative is if it is a zero-sum game or something additive and complementary to “what we’re already doing.”

The chancellor has made clear that if funding for the medical school comes at the expense of other schools, then the idea is a non-starter, Haynie said.

“If we can’t develop an economic model for this that is about bringing new resources to the university, this doesn’t get off the ground,” he said.

Consulting firm Tripp Umbach will help SU determine whether the medical school would bring new resources to the university. The results of the firm’s feasibility analysis will determine if SU can move into phase two of the planning process — which may even be short of making a final decision about the medical school, Haynie said.

“It wouldn’t make sense for us to even go onto those next steps if we can’t adequately for Syracuse University answer a first set of

questions,” Haynie said. “Economically, is this feasible? Operationally, is this feasible? Politically, is this feasible?”

The firm will determine the feasibility of the idea based on whether there are funding resources to support the school, whether there are clinical sites for students to train, whether it will harm existing medical schools and most of all, the university’s need for a medical school, said Beth Paul, principal and chief of staff at Tripp Umbach.

The timing of the feasibility analysis results is unknown, but Haynie said the university has an obligation to have enough evidence for the decision makers to act on sometime within the next four to six weeks.

The question of how a medical school at SU would affect SUNY Upstate Medical School is not being left out of the equation. Paul said existing medical schools are most concerned about their students being displaced by students at a new medical school. The firm has told representatives from SUNY Upstate that clinical training for students at the medical school would take place at VA facilities outside of Syracuse, Paul said.

Haynie, an entrepreneurship professor by academic training, said he has learned that differentiation is the key to comparative advantage.

“We spend a lot of time talking about opportunity for Syracuse University, but the most powerful and transformative opportunities come when we try to do something that is truly differentiating for this institution,” Haynie said.

The opportunity to create a veteran-focused, service-modeled medical school — an idea Quinn called “one of a kind” — is something Haynie thinks could transform the university. atorrens@syr.edu | @alexa_torrens

‘American Dresser’ film shot in Syracuse area

Text by Sam Gozinsky contributing writer

O

n a warm September night in central New York, motorcycles and pickups line the parking lot of a remote East Syracuse bar. Inside the venue, the tempers of bikers and muscle heads flare, causing a full-fledged bar fight — punches are thrown and a bottle is shattered over someone’s head.

Abruptly, the brawl comes to an end as soon as assistant director Brent Geisler yells “Cut!” This is a scene in “American Dresser,” a movie coming out in 2016 that is being filmed in the Syracuse area. “American Dresser” is the first of many movies to be filmed at the brand new Central New

York Hub for Emerging Nano Industries, said producer Ryan Johnson. The crew will finish filming in this area on Sept. 22.

The film features actors Tom Berenger, Keith David and Andrew Bryniarski, who have acted in films such as “Inception” and “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”

The plot follows the lead character, John (Tom Berenger) on a cross-country motorcycle trip with his best friend Charlie (Keith David). After John’s wife dies, he discovers that he has a son from a relationship 25 years ago, which inspires him to embark on the journey. The name “American Dresser” is a motorcycle designed for touring.

“It’s really sweet at the end of the day, but along the way you get this big, vast, adventure road movie that takes you through all things Americana,” Johnson said. see american

Next month’s biopics work as complete films, not just as true stories

B

iopics and historical films are easy to advertise. Throw on the “based on a true story” tagline and watch the audience fill up the theater.

It seems that every other movie today is a biopic and after every big new event everybody’s first thought is, “I can’t wait for the movie!”

This creates problems from both historical and movie-making points of view.

In historical context, we seem to pair the movie version of somebody’s life to their actual life as if they have equal cultural significance. It’s why we keep seeing Steve Jobs biopics; the guy was so great, we have to make another movie about him.

For the movie industry, the increase in quantity of biopics and historical pieces mean a decrease in quality. In most cases, the allure doubles as its downfall. The accuracy of a story adds a layer of intrigue, but when you remove that context, a lot of biopics and historical pieces are boring, mediocre movies.

Essentially, a lot of studios play it safe and use the fact that it is a true story as a crutch.

Recent examples include the way-too-long, 2014 Frankie Valli biopic “Jersey Boys” and last year’s brilliantly acted but severely overrated “The Theory of Everything.” Both stories had interesting parts, but as a whole, their weak

KYLE STEVENS JUST LIKE, MY OPINION MAN

narratives were given passes because they could default back to, “But hey, it’s a real story!”

There are historical figures and stories that deserve to be told on the big screen, but the success of the good ones has brought a phony demand for too many.

There is a sense of renewed optimism for biopics this fall. Over the next month, four new true stories will hit the big screen.

Here’s why they have a chance to work as movies and not just true stories.

“Black Mass” The anti-hero has become a big draw for both TV shows and movies over the last ten years.

Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne/Batman, James Gandolfini’s Tony Soprano and Brian Cranston’s Walter White all managed to keep rooting interest on their side despite the imperfect and sometimes perverse nature of their characters. “Black Mass” will break the mold of boring biopic because it has a real life anti-hero in James “Whitey” Bulger (Johnny Depp), a Boston-Irish mob boss. Can you really root for a real-life

version of one of those characters? If “Black Mass” can make you ask yourself that question, it will be a biopic worth your time.

be worth a watch as a movie first and a true story second. That should be the goal for all historical films.

“Pawn Sacrifice”

“Steve Jobs”

Ever seen a movie about a chess player before?

Me neither. “Pawn Sacrifice” separates itself from other recent biopics because it focuses on a character, setting and a story that has yet to be put onto the silver screen. Bobby Fischer (Tobey Maguire) is one of those historical figures that you’ve probably heard about a few times, but you don’t know his whole story.

That’s the exact kind of person biopics should be made about; there’s a reason to tell his story and he’s not somebody you already know everything about.

Here is where it gets tricky. “Steve Jobs” should be one of the historical context problems. We know his story already and there has already been a biopic about the Apple founder. Why will this biopic be worth seeing? The answer is found in the trailer when Steve Wozniack (Seth Rogen) asks Jobs (Michael Fassbender), “You can’t write code.

You are not an engineer. What do you do?”

This simple question is essential in showing the audience that they still have questions about Jobs. There is still a reason to examine the enigma he was.

“Everest” Another good example of a story you probably have heard something about but there’s a lot to fill in. “Everest” recounts the 1996 disaster on top of the world’s tallest mountain. It’s somewhat surprising that this is the first major picture about one of the world’s most storied places. That only works in this film’s favor and the impending doom aspect is a big draw both from a story perspective and a visual one. “Everest” will

american dresser Johnson serves as the president and CEO of The Film House, a movie production company that recently moved its offices to “the hub,” as many crewmembers refer to the $15 million building. One factor contributing to The Film House’s move to upstate New York is Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s tax credits that are offered to the film industry.

The incentive program began in 2015 and started giving tax credits of up to 40 percent on production in certain upstate counties, including Onondaga County. The incentive program provides $420 million per year in benefits and extends through 2019.

The hope is that this credit will give enough incentive to production companies so that a strong film industry will be fostered in upstate New York.

It’s a win-win for everybody, and haters can hate, but we’re filming up here in New York state.

Andrew Bryniarski “american dresser“ actor

Eric Vinal, film commissioner for Onondaga County’s Office of Economic Development, said he thinks once word gets out about all the resources in the area available to filmmakers, it will drive business.

Bryniarski, best known for his role as Leatherface in the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” movies, had never been to central New York before.

These new movies have the chance to be stories worth being told because they are great stories, not just because they are true. That should be the reason to make any biopic. Hopefully, the success and quality of these movies will change the overall quality of a genre packed with quantity.

Kyle Stevens is a sophomore advertising major. You can email him at ksteve03@syr.edu or reach him on Twitter at @kstevs_.

“There’s a lot of beautiful scenery in upstate New York in general and in Syracuse,” said Bryniarski, fully dressed for his role as a biker and bully named Earl. “It’s really wonderful, and there’s no need for production to keep running off to Canada to film. It’s my first time working up here, and for a long time, a lot of movies were shooting in Canada, but we’re trying to turn that around.”

$15 million

The amount of money it cost to build the Central New York Hub studio for Emerging Nano Industries.

In the parking lot of the bar, Bryniarski spoke about his impression of the area over a plate of eggrolls and lo mein. He discussed his time in Syracuse as he guzzled a beer and puffed on a cigarette.

“It’s a win-win for everybody, and haters can hate, but we’re filming up here in New York state,” Bryniarski said.

Vinal added that he believes “American Dresser” and other Film House projects will leave a lasting positive mark on central New York and said opportunities will be created for students and residents alike to jump into the industry.

“That’s the main goal, making people happy and showing them that they can take pride in their area. When they see this on the big screen, they’re going to know the locations and say ‘Oh, we were in that area while it was being filmed,’ or ‘Oh, we always go to that bar,’” Vinal said. “We want people to have a sense of pride when they see this movie and that is what we hope people take from it.” slgozins@syr.edu

Café at 407 offers local community space, donates funds to nonprofit

W

hile most restaurants exist to make a financial profit, Café at 407 exists to help others.

I recently went to Café at 407 and absolutely loved it. Not only did I enjoy the food, but I liked their whole concept. Café at 407 has a simple mission: to serve seasonal, homemade food, made with love. The café’s overall mission is to nourish the body, feed the soul and build a community around it.

Café at 407 opened in 2009 to provide a place of community and fund Ophelia’s Place, which is a nonprofit focused on helping people with eating disorders and body dissatisfactions. Ophelia’s Place aims to change the way people think and talk about body image.

Café at 407 is known for having a sustainable menu. Their specialties include fresh salads, sandwiches and smoothies. The café does not use any high fructose corn syrup or other artificial ingredients to make their food.

I was excited to try one of the salads on the menu but didn’t know which one to choose. I finally made up my mind and ordered the Café Classic Salad, which consists of tomatoes, chickpeas, a hard-boiled egg, Parmesan cheese and bacon, served on fresh greens with roasted chicken.

My dressing of choice was balsamic vinaigrette. I thought that the ingredients blended together well. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the Parmesan cheese added a nice touch. I definitely think the salad should have been chopped, but other than that I really enjoyed this dish.

I couldn’t leave the café empty-handed so I decided to bring some dessert back to school to try later. I couldn’t resist all of the delicious-looking baked goods sitting right in front of me, so I ordered one of each. I got a chocolate chip cookie, oatmeal raisin cookie, blueberry muffin, pumpkin scone and an orange scone.

I tried a piece of each and fell in love with the orange scone. The combination of fresh orange and shortbread melted in my mouth. The pumpkin scone was scrumptious and flavorful. I had a black coffee as well and thought it had fragrant, balanced flavor.

On the flip side, I didn’t love the chocolate chip cookie because it was too crunchy for my liking — I preferred the oatmeal raisin cookie. The blueberry muffin was subpar as well.

Everything is made with fresh ingredients and is “as real as possible,” the front of the house manager Robin Winsor said. They get some of their ingredients, like fresh eggs, from local farms in Cazenovia, New York.

The café has a very laid back atmosphere. When you walk in, there are couches and tables all around. Soothing music is played and there is free Wi-Fi. Throughout the café there are quotes and inspirational messages on the walls. In fact, Café at 407 sells T-shirts and cups with these messages on them. All of the profits made from the merchandise goes straight to Ophelia’s Place. caweinst@syr.edu

Syracuse tops Buffalo, 3-0, to complete weekend sweep

By Tomer Langer staff writer

The Syracuse bench players all stood up and clapped slowly in anticipation of the final point. It had only been an hour and a half since the match began, but the Orange was already on the verge of victory.

SU (9-2) worked economically and dismantled the Buffalo Bulls (1-12) in three sets on Sunday night at the Women’s Building. It was the third win of the weekend for Syracuse and it secured a first-place finish in the Syracuse Tournament.

SU played a game earlier Sunday against Navy and though the Orange was the better team coming into the match, it started slowly and seemed to have an impact on how Syracuse played in the nightcap.

“We actually stepped up because the morning game we started actually rough,” said senior outside hitter Monika Salkute. “We have to be the leaders of this tournament, and that was our goal, so we just focused more than the first game.”

Syracuse won all three sets by scores of 25-13, 25-16 and 25-10. The Orange played better than the Bulls in many facets of the game. SU racked up kills quickly, preventing the Bulls from keeping rallies alive for an extended period of time.

On defense, the Orange managed to dig out most of the hits that the Bulls sent over. Improved ball control helped the offense run at nearly peak efficiency throughout much of the match.

Head coach Leonid Yelin was pleased with the cohesiveness and synergy that his team showed on the court.

“Our ball control got better, so the setter has an opportunity to move (the) ball around, and puts hitters in better situations when (they) open spots, they can hit better,” Yelin said.

That formula was on full display tonight, as the Orange was also aided by Buffalo’s poor attack. The team came into the match sporting an exceptionally low hitting percentage of .127.

from page 1

schneidman This Syracuse team has been through the ringer with injuries, losing starters at five different offensive positions. It has overcome a 373-yard effort from Wake Forest quarterback John Wolford on top of losing Ervin Philips and Terrel Hunt on offense. Then a 430-yard day from CMU QB Cooper Rush was bailed out by an offense without Dungey, Steve Ishmael, Rob Trudo and Josh Parris.

The head coach even admitted his team had only a few hours to enjoy the win Saturday night before flipping the page to the Southeastern Conference powerhouse Tigers. But the menace with which he answered some questions, even chiding and mocking reporters, begs the question as to why Shafer won’t address realities surrounding his team.

“I hate the fact that you guys always want to give the specifics out because really, it doesn’t help our cause,” Shafer said, following the question about Dungey’s exact injury.

But the media’s job isn’t to help a team’s cause. It’s to provide as much information as possible to gain credibility in a specific business field. Just like it’s Shafer’s job to win foot-

With the Bulls failing to hit many balls well, there were many instances when Syracuse got easy points with a very textbook dig-to-set and set-to-kill cycle.

Playing such a pristine and crisp game seemed to wear out Buffalo. Although they lost the second set the Bulls brought it to within two points when a kill cut the deficit to 14-16.

At that point, though, it wasn’t about losing his starting quarterback for the second time in three games. It wasn’t about a defense that allowed 520 yards and is about to face arguably the best running back in the country. And it wasn’t about sophomore Austin Wilson and walk-on sophomore Zack Mahoney’s level of understanding of an offense that will face LSU in less than six days.

But with the last question, it was clear what Shafer was about.

Asked why he went with Mahoney in overtime, Shafer could’ve simply praised the walkon. Instead, he did that briefly then took another shot at the media, wondering why they care so much about quarterbacks — this one a oncefifth-stringer playing in overtime in Week 3.

And as he firmly tapped his thin stack of papers on the podium before walking off, Shafer had shown it was about protecting an image of Syracuse that has undeniable flaws despite an undefeated start.

“We’re just going to try to find a way to win and we’re 3-0 and it’s been 24 years,” Shafer said. “… and I cant wait to go hug my players.” mcschei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

Orange opened up the third set with an 11-1 run that effectively sealed the fate of the match.

There wasn’t a single moment in the set in which the Bulls scored even two points in a row as the Orange seemed to save its best for last.

The Orange will play Boston College on Friday night in its first Atlantic Coast Conference match of the season. ACC play was a struggle for the team last season, but the improved

efficiency that the team showed Sunday — and throughout the whole season thus far — has most of its players, including Gosia Wlaszczuk, excited about the challenge.

“I expect to have the best season I had in Syracuse, and I know that my team is the best one I’ve had in the period that I’m here,” Wlaszczuk said. tdlanger@syr.edu

quarterbacks on Tuesday to see if one’s playing better than the other.”

Neither Wilson nor Mahoney had the chance to give a telling statistical sample size, good or bad, against the Chippewas. Wilson finished 4-of-7 for 49 yards, a touchdown and an interception, with the highlight of his day coming on a 7-yard fade pass that found Jamal Custis in the back-left corner of the end zone. Mahoney went 4-for-4 for 19 yards, his shining moment a 3rd-and-5 conversion in overtime that led to a 4-yard option pitch to Jordan Fredericks for the win.

It’ll be interesting to see what we do. We have to put a plan together.

Tim Lester su offensive coordinator

What’s apparent is that Mahoney is more equipped to run the triple option Lester was regularly calling before Dungey exited. Lester said Mahoney doesn’t really have a hole in his game, he just needs to keep getting reps to improve. Wilson has been complimented for his strong arm in the past, but Lester said he didn’t put him in “too many tough situations where he had to run with his feet.”

How Syracuse separates the two will in part be dictated by the game plan for LSU. Lester said the coaches will watch and grade the game on Sunday, then spend all Monday — an off day for the players — solidifying the Week 4 scheme.

That will be just in time for Tuesday’s practice, where Mahoney and Wilson will vie to be the next quarterback up should the Orange need one.

“It’ll be interesting to see what we do. We have to put a plan together, see if it fits one better and then see how they do during the week,” Lester said. “So we’ll have to figure that out.”

Long not in the picture When Hunt went down with a fractured fibula against Louisville last year, Syracuse tried out Wilson and then-freshman AJ Long against No. 1 Florida State.

Long became the starter for the rest of the season — finishing with 935 yards, four touchdowns, eight interceptions and two rushing touchdowns — but Lester said Long is not currently in the mix at quarterback, even if Dungey misses time moving forward.

“He’s doing a good job, he’s getting better.

He’s still not throwing the ball great yet, not consistently enough,” Lester said. “… You have to be able to throw the ball down the field. And he’s struggling there right now; he’s frustrated, he’s working on it though.”

Lester said Long’s development was slowed by an injury to his throwing hand, which kept him out of parts of training camp. Lester added that Long is frequently in Lester’s office and is working on “getting back to where he was.”

“He was getting better and then the hand, that was a big setback,” Lester said. “I just can’t, until I know he can make all the throws, I don’t want to put him out there where he’s too limited to go out there and play.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

powell Still, the first goal Powell ever scored in an NLL game was off a one-handed over-theshoulder and under-his-elbow shot.

“I was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’” said Tim Soudan, a former Knighthawks teammate and current assistant with the U.S. team.

Yet Powell didn’t fully grasp the concepts of the indoor game until 2008 when he played with the New York Titans. Years earlier, he thought he never would have success with it. He was improving his outside shot, forcing defenders to press up on him. When they overextended, he could run past them and crash the net.

The way Powell sacrificed his body became one of his trademarks. He absorbed hits that would have injured most players.

“If you look over the course of the last 20-plus years, I don’t even understand how he’s still walking,” Carcaterra said, “let alone running around like he’s in his mid-20s.”

In order to stay fit, Powell emphasizes drinking water, stretching and playing basketball. When he’s not coaching or running clinics, he’s often playing “speed lacrosse,” a combination of field and box lacrosse similar to playing “in the backyard.”

Even at the later stages of his career, Powell was named the NLL’s Most Valuable Player in 2010 — the only American to accomplish this — and won the same award in Major League Lacrosse (field lacrosse) in 2014.

When Powell went to a bank in Sarasota, Florida, a week before joining the team, a worker peaked at his business card that says, “CP Lacrosse.” “‘Oh, you used to play lacrosse when you were younger?’” she asked Powell. “‘Yeah, I still play,’” he replied.

At 39, Powell plays “smarter, not harder.” He can still handle it physically and his passion for

the game hasn’t dropped off.

Fans around his age often thank him for representing their demographic and encourage him to keep playing until he can’t. His friends joke by calling him Brett Favre.

“He’s still one of the best players in the game,” said Joe Walters, one of Powell’s teammates with Team USA. “Not based on history.

He’s still playing at an exceptionally high level.

Age really doesn’t matter.”

Despite his top form, Powell wasn’t going to play in this year’s WILC as recently as a few months ago. He didn’t try out with the team, but after seeing the rosters and coaching staff, he decided he would give it a shot.

At the team’s training camp on Labor Day weekend, he pulled players aside during drills and shared knowledge about the indoor game.

The man who was once questioned for switching hands is helping to shape the next generation of American players.

“I remember being in my 20s and seeing guys in their late 30s or mid-30s and saying, ‘What the hell is that guy still doing playing?’”

Powell said. “And here I am. I’m sure I’m getting some of the same looks.” pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

No. 1 Virginia sinks SU with 5 goals in conference opener

By Michael Burke staff writer

Syracuse and goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan allowed more than two goals for the first time in 2015 on Sunday.

The Orange surrendered five goals and SU’s (4-5-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) attack couldn’t counter with any goals of its own in a 5-0 loss to No. 1 Virginia (7-0-1, 1-0) at Klöckner Stadium in both teams’ conference opener.

The Cavaliers got the scoring started in the 17th minute, when Kaili Torres assisted Makenzy Doniak on a goal. The score stayed at 1-0 into halftime, but the Cavaliers broke open the game in the second half. Brittany

Ratcliffe, Kristen McNabb and Alexis Shaffer combined to score three goals in six minutes, starting with Ratcliffe’s goal in the 55th minute. McNabb then added another goal in the 83rd minute.

Meanwhile, the Orange registered just one shot on goal in the game’s full 90 minutes. That shot came off the foot of Erin Simon. On the other end of the field, Brosnan came away with three saves on the eight shots on goal she faced.

The game was the first of three in a row for SU against teams that are ranked in the top 10 of the NSCAA Coaches Poll. Syracuse will next play Thursday against North Carolina, the No. 3-ranked team in the country. mdburke01@syr.edu

Russell sets all-time goals record in 5-0 win over Yale

By Sam Fortier asst. web editor

Needing one goal to become No. 2 Syracuse’s all-time leading goal scorer, senior forward Emma Russell intercepted a Yale outlet pass and broke toward the net. She put home the 48th goal of her career to unseat Lindsey Conrad as the program’s top scorer and spearheaded SU’s (7-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) 5-0 win over Yale (2-3) on Sunday at Johnson Field.

The Orange outshot the Bulldogs 36-6, including 26 shots on goal. Additionally, SU drew 12 penalty corners.

Nine minutes into the contest, Emma Lamison, a transfer from Northeastern, scored on a pass from Alma Fenne. It was Lamison’s fifth point of the weekend after scoring the game-winner over No. 11 Boston College Saturday and adding an assist in the game.

Three minutes later, Zoe Wilson assisted a Roos Weers goal and the Orange headed to

halftime with a 2-0 lead. It was a contrast from Syracuse’s last two games that have been headlined by second-half comebacks against ranked opponents.

The Orange didn’t stop rolling in the second half as Russell scored her record-breaking goal just over a minute into the second frame.

On a day when one of SU’s seniors punctuated her career with a record-breaking goal, freshman Niki Neidhart scored her first collegiate goal to pile on the Orange’s lead.

Alyssa Manley converted on a penalty-corner chance in the final minutes to cement the 5-0 final score.

Senior goalkeeper Jess Jecko saw four shots on net and turned away each of them to record her third shutout in seven games this season.

CASE IN

POINT Former SU star Casey Powell continues lacrosse career at 39

By Paul Schwedelson asst. copy editor

C

CASEY POWELL, 39, wasn’t initially sure if he would play in this year’s World Indoor Lacrosse Championship.

But after seeing the coaches and roster, he decided to give it a shot. courtesy of zach hefner

asey Powell had no clue what he was doing.

He was used to playing on an outdoor lacrosse field, without walls that restrict space.

But after graduating high school, he dabbled in box lacrosse for three months with the Toronto Beaches of the Ontario Lacrosse Association. “‘What the eff are you doing, eh?’” Powell recalled his coach screaming in his first practice. “‘What hand are you?’”

“Right-handed,” Powell said after he switched his stick from his right hand to his left. “‘Then keep it in your effing right hand.’”

Powell didn’t understand players don’t switch hands in box lacrosse since the game is played on a hockey rink-sized field without time and space to use both.

After finishing his decorated college career at Syracuse, in which he was named Division I National Player of the Year twice, the Roch-

ester Knighthawks took him No. 1 overall in the National Lacrosse League’s draft even without a background in box lacrosse.

Sixteen years later, Powell is considered one of the best American players to play both box and field lacrosse, despite a challenging transition early on. At 39 years old, he will join Team USA on Monday for the World Indoor Lacrosse Championship taking place this week in Syracuse after missing the first two games due to a prior commitment.

“I don’t think it’s even close when you think of a professional American lacrosse player that’s dominated in the outdoor and indoor league like Casey Powell,” said Paul Carcaterra, his sophomore year roommate at Syracuse and current ESPN lacrosse analyst.

Even without understanding the concepts of box lacrosse, Powell fell back on his stick skills and athleticism. When he first started playing professionally, he said he wasted too much energy running around without a purpose. see powell page 14

How Syracuse will decide Dungey’s replacement, if need be

By Jesse Dougherty web editor

Zack Mahoney led Syracuse to a game-winning touchdown against Central Michigan, but that doesn’t mean he’s locked in as the starting quarterback if freshman Eric Dun-

gey misses the Orange’s next game.

Dungey left SU’s (3-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) 30-27 win over the Chippewas (1-2) with 9:20 left in the second quarter. He was leveled by a helmet-to-helmet hit that triggered an ejection for CMU defensive lineman Mitch Stanitzek. SU head coach

Scott Shafer said Dungey has as an “upper-body” injury and his status for the Orange’s Week 4 game against No. 8 Louisiana State is unknown.

If he is unable to suit up when the Tigers visit the Carrier Dome at noon on Saturday, SU will either roll out the sophomore walk-on Mahoney or soph-

omore Austin Wilson. In either case, a new starting quarterback would be Syracuse’s third in four weeks after Terrel Hunt suffered a season-ending Achilles injury 7:27 into Week 1.

After the win over the Chippewas, SU offensive coordinator Tim Lester expressed a lot of confidence

in Mahoney before saying Dungey’s possible replacement will be decided during the week.

“Probably by Monday night we’ll have a pretty good plan of what the (offensive game) plan is,” Lester said.

“Then we’ll see how they go out there
