LSU 34, SYRACUSE 24

College introduces center Falk College opens new nutrition facility Friday

By Alexa Torrens asst. news editor

Eye of the tiger LEONARD FOURNETTE ran for 244 yards in Syracuse’s 34-24 loss to LSU on Saturday in the Carrier Dome. The Orange was within a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, but couldn’t complete the comeback against the No. 8 team in the country.

Tim Lester shows leadership in difficult QB situation

T

im Lester walked through the bowels of the Carrier Dome following Syracuse’s Sept. 4 win over Rhode Island. His face was sweaty, but he masked discomfort and displeasure with a welcoming smile.

The 47-0 win was a secondary topic of conversation. Lester had lost his quarterback, Terrel Hunt, likely for the whole season. He had to portray uncertainty and even optimism onto a situation that was assuredly inevitable.

Two weeks and one day later, he needed to ease a man that had at one point been a fifth-string quarterback, into a starter. Eric Dungey, who only just begun to excel, had

THAT’S WHAT I SAID taken a hit to the head.

First, Lester went to the more experienced Austin Wilson, but always with the intent to make Mahoney the man. And then when Mahoney did go in, he gradually expanded the types of plays he called as the games progressed and the nerves faded.

“It’s not easy,” Lester said when asked if he was frustrated. “Coach (Scott Shafer) says control the controllables, and that’s something we can’t control. I think the thing that’s

frustrating the most is a lot of (the injuries) are flukes.”

Nothing about what Lester has dealt with as the Syracuse offensive coordinator has been easy. Whether it was running George McDonald’s futile offense with backup quarterbacks the final seven games of last season or installing his own during spring practice and fall training camp.

The first four games of the season, though, prove that Lester is the right person to handle the miserable nature of Syracuse’s injury situation. The Orange has run for 345 more yards than its opponents and thrown for five more touchdowns.

If Dungey had enough attempts, he’d have the second-best passing

efficiency in Division I. Mahoney, a walk-on transfer from the College of DuPage, threw for three touchdowns in one half against an SEC defense.

The injuries may have been flukes — a torn Achilles’ in a non-contact run and a targeting hit that downplayed an SU TD celebration — but Lester’s success in the face of them is not.

“There’s no doubt,” Shafer said.

“Having his experience has been comforting for me as the head coach.”

Lester succeeds because he knows the capabilities of his quarterbacks. Even before Hunt went down, he had Dungey go through and highlight all the plays in the playbook that he was comfortable

The Falk College officially opened its new, comprehensive nutrition center on Friday, marking another completed step in the college’s transformation.

The Nutrition, Assessment, Consultation and Education (ACE) Center will open further research opportunities for students in the nutrition program.

It will also allow the program to remain one step ahead of accreditation standards, which are revised every five years, said Kay Bruening, the undergraduate program director of the Nutrition Science and Dietetics Program in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics.

The center was funded exclusively through a donation by Rhoda Dearman Morrisroe, a Class of 1969 Syracuse University alumna, according to a Falk College release. It has been a dream 18 years in the making for Bruening and Tanya Horacek, a professor in the department of public health, food studies and nutrition, Bruening said.

“This will give us more handson learning instruction opportunities, but it will also greatly improve our research capacity,” Bruening said.

The two began working with the Falk College development officer about three years ago to raise the money for the project and then received the offer from the donor, Bruening said. Around the same time, the nutrition program received input from students about what they would like to see in the center. This input has been used as a guide to determine see falk page 6

Student collaborates on Destiny USA movie

By Molly Berger contributing writer

Caleb Rudge and Nicolas Sessler are interested in more than simply shopping at Destiny USA. Rudge, a senior at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry and Sessler, a Syracuse University alumnus, created the documentary, “Destiny USA: The Movie.”

“Nick and I both have always wanted to use our creative energy and put it into something that we were passionate about,” Rudge said.

“We both have always had a lot of fun laughing, but we wanted to make sure we were laughing for the right reasons. So we wanted to create a medium for people to learn about Syracuse, [specifically] Destiny USA, and also laugh at it.”

The two worked on the project every day during spring semester 2015. They sat together for hours coming up with the plotline and writing the script. Sessler taught Rudge how to use a camera, and Rudge spent

most of his time working it proficiently while Sessler acted for the film.

Though Rudge is majoring in environmental studies and Sessler majored in television, radio and film, they are both passionate about urban policy and urban planning.

“We wanted to make people excited about this because cities matter and if we can get someone’s attention through humor, and teach them that the city of Syracuse is a pattern of poor planning, then we will be successful,” Rudge said.

“Destiny USA: The Movie” tells the humorous story about a young boy infatuated by the mall, but intertwines information about the mall and how it got there. Rudge explains that very few people are aware of the circumstances under which the mall was built.

“I would like people to have a renewed sense of appreciation for urban planning,” Rudge said.

“I want people to see cities as an opportunity for working together and worthy of investment — but the right kind of investment.” moberger@syr.edu

TA study reveals correlation Research finds link between TAs’ race, student grades

Campaign continues to raise awareness at SU

By Alexi McCammond contributing writer

A year after Syracuse University became a partner with the It’s On Us campaign, the university is still working to increase awareness of the campaign on campus.

It’s On Us, a national movement developed by the White House to change the way students think about sexual assault on college campuses, encourages students to pledge not to be a bystander to sexual assault, but

to be part of the solution. The Office of Health Promotions at SU began spreading the message last fall.

Since the national campaign started, more than 220,000 people have taken the pledge to end sexual assault on college campuses, according to a White House release. More than 300 schools have It’s On Us campaigns, according to a White House fact sheet.

Over the past year, the Office of Health Promotions has implemented various strategies to get students

involved in the It’s On Us discussions.

“Last year was mostly focused on getting a foundation started with the campaign,” said Katelyn Cowen, the director of the Office of Health Promotions. “Because It’s On Us was so fresh and new, we ended up focusing a lot on consent.”

Part of that foundation involved Cowen and the Office of Health Promotions creating an It’s On Us logo with SU’s colors. Cowen said the logo was an easy way to spread the message over social media and on the

school’s websites.

The NCAA became a partner with the national campaign, which led to a partnership with the SU Athletics department.

The result was a video from the national It’s On Us campaign playing in the Carrier Dome last spring.

“Athletics have been very supportive of the campaign,” Cowen said. “We’ve had conversations around doing something with the football season and we hope to see it’s

Companion app offers student safety features

By Anjani Iman contributing writer

LiveSafe is not the only app for Syracuse University students to help them stay safe.

With Companion, an app that was recently released, students choose with whom on their contact lists they share their GPS tracking location.

Friends and family follow their SU students on the map while they are headed toward their destinations.

Over the summer, the university announced a contract with LiveSafe, an app with a similar objective as Companion.

The founders of the app are five seniors at the University of Michigan who seek to spread the app’s use to major campuses across the country, such as SU. When the app is in use, there are a few options on the screen, including “I Feel Nervous” and “Call The Police.” The app also gives the user

15 seconds to decline a 911 call if the phone engages in sudden movements such as the phone dropping or an earphone being pulled out.

“It’s really for walking late at night. You can set who you want to see (your location), where you’re going and when you want to get there,” said Jillian Jandl, Companion app’s SU campus ambassador.

“They’ll get notifications along the way of when you left, where you’re going and once you get there safely.”

Jandl, a sophomore advertising major, first became involved with Companion through networking within her sorority. She has been working with Companion since August and calls the app the “virtual blue light system.”

When choosing friends to virtually walk you home, Companion’s design is similar to that of Snapchat in that users can check off people on their contact list. see companion page 6

Bill to defund Planned Parenthood disregards low-income communities

P

resident Barack Obama said you can judge a nation based on how it treats its women and girls during a signing of a memorandum in 2014, which established the White House Task Force on Protecting Students from Sexual Assault .

Yet, The House of Representatives approved legislation earlier this month to defund Planned Parenthood for one year.

All people deserve access to quality sexual health care, and Planned Parenthood is an organization that provides basic provisions for men and women who may not be able to afford these necessities through other means. To defund it not only puts people at a disadvantage, but also shows legislative disregard for people of lower income communities.

Planned Parenthood has come under scrutiny after a series of videos were leaked in July insinuating that the organization sells fetal tissue to other parties without the consent of the patient. Although the House of Representatives has approved a bill to cut off the nonprofit’s

ELAINA CROCKETT A-WOMAN

funding, Obama said he would veto any bill that defunds the group.

The question of ethics and honesty is a pivotal one, considering Planned Parenthood’s practices could be exploiting unsuspecting patients, although the claims have not been proven. But what is most problematic is the idea of removing the organization altogether, as if women and men have not greatly benefited from it since its inception nearly 100 years ago.

According to its website, Planned Parenthood has been able to service over five million people a year worldwide and has approximately 700 centers in the United States alone.

At this time, federal funding does not even pay for abortions, but allows the organization to provide HIV testing, various forms of birth control, counseling, general health care and information

that is accessible to low-income women and men.

To remove funding from the organization is to put a disproportionate amount of people at risk.

The moral dilemma of abortion is unique to each person, and rightfully so, but we cannot deny those who want or need the operation based on allegations of ethical practices or even personal beliefs.

The congressional effort to defund Planned Parenthood is really an attack on low-income women, forcing them to find centers that may or may not supply them comprehensible, credible sexual health care. At best, the campaign to close the doors of the nonprofit is an attempt to provide more third-party health centers in underprivileged communities; at worst, it’s poverty shaming.

Women, regardless of their income, should have the freedom to do what they like with their bodies. Stripping away Planned Parenthood’s resources and closing down abortion clinics will force many women to abort through unsafe means.

These measures will also take away proper

sex health education, causing many people to rely on hearsay and urban myth. There are still some people who believe the pull-out method is totally effective, for goodness sake.

Last month, members of the GOP, led by Sen. Ted Cruz, spoke out against Planned Parenthood and questioned its ethics.

Attacking abortion is a common tactic of the Republican Party, and the desire to defund Planned Parenthood lacks consideration of women who need and deserve access to the same quality of healthcare Cruz and the members of congress possess.

When politicians attack an establishment of this nature without having a holistic view of its necessity, they must have a thorough understanding of what communities will be directly affected and the consequences that will come of its absence.

Study on TA influence needs more data

A

recent study suggests that students do better when their teaching assistant is of a similar race or ethnicity as them.

However, the study must be conducted on a larger scale before it is accepted as a valid scientific fact.

Data collected by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that students who are of a similar cultural background as their TAs were more likely to engage with them in an academic setting, which improved the student’s overall performance in class.

The data suggests that in classes without multiple choice exams where the TA has access to the exam before hand, there is an improvement in academic performance for some students.

Students who attend discussion sections and office hours are beneficiaries of this trend, and also likely of the same race as the TA, according to the study.

Data was also taken from a 201415 audit study which recorded the attendance of optional TA discussion sections and office hours.

This conclusion was formed on data collected from professors who taught an economics class during the study. The professors were given a survey about exam structure, including whether the exams were multiple choice or essay and if TAs had access to the exams before the examination date.

But the study was conducted on too small of a sample size to be seen as accurate. The data was collected from the

scribble

Department of Economics of a public university in California, which is hardly representative of a national trend. Still, the study’s findings are worth investigating on a greater scale to see if the results warrant a broader discussion.

While it may be possible for students to feel more comfortable when they are able to relate to their TA based on shared race or ethnicity on an individual basis, Syracuse University and other institutions should not recognize these findings until the study is conducted on a larger scale.

SU should continue to assign students randomly to instructors who were hired based on skill, rather than potential cultural association with students.

crisis, the iconic fast-food chain is an example for what other largescale businesses need to be doing.

The model is a win-win: improved financial performance on behalf of companies while contributing to a greater good.

Will Geoghegan, an assistant professor of management in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, believes events like the crisis in Europe “seem to be something [firms] can really get some good public relations out of.”

He added that cultural social responsibility has become a hot-button topic, as firms are starting to see that when they prioritize human rights before financial gain, those ideals can drive profits.

In the midst of reshaping its corporate identity, McDonald’s is striving to reconnect with its diminishing clientele. The company replaced its chief executive earlier this year and next month plans to institute all-day breakfast at all of

its locations. McDonald’s humanitarian efforts add to this reshaping.

But despite these efforts, McDonald’s is struggling to keep up.

Rival chains, including Chipotle, Shake Shack and Chick-fil-A, are attracting a young customer base with healthy options. McDonald’s is trying to meet this new appeal with plans to release an all-organic burger next week in Germany.

McDonald’s has also lost the “fast” in fast food.

Customers placing orders in drive-thrus ten years ago would have their meals in 152 seconds, but today it takes up to 189.5 seconds. Chick-fil-A, on the other hand, typically gets its customers their meals within about 90 seconds of ordering.

In attempts to rebrand itself, McDonald’s is setting a precedent for big corporations to benefit society through business. It’s a virtuous cycle where socially responsible behavior improves financial performance.

Help society, create a positive image,

improve financially. Bam. “There’s a thing called the profit-paradox,” said Geoghegan, who has delved into many case studies on the topic of cultural social responsibility. “Companies that run exclusively with profit as their motive are usually the least profitable. The companies that really do engage in [cultural social responsibility], and engage in this whole stakeholder partnership, are usually the ones that are the most successful.”

Of course, McDonald’s has been criticized for its environmental record and accused of misleading customers about nutritional information. But its refugee initiative could very well erase the public’s negative image of the corporation.

what equipment to purchase and put in place, Bruening said.

The ACE Center is comprised of two lecture halls — one of which has a demonstration kitchen, two nutrition counseling rooms, a physical assessment room and a small conference room. The center is located in the Falk Complex in MacNaughton Hall.

The nutrition counseling rooms will enable students in the nutrition dietetics major to be tested on performing nutrition counseling with a standardized patient. Students in a one-credit course called Nutrition Counseling Experience can also have this kind of role-play experience in which they have a client who requires nutrition counseling, such as weight or cholesterol management.

and an electronic scale.

Equipment in the physical assessment room includes a BOD POD®, an examination table and a full-size adult patient simulator mannequin. The BOD POD® is a “spaceship”-like testing system that assesses the fat and lean on a patient’s body, Bruening said. It can also measure the rate at which the patient is burning calories, she added.

Students will also be able to use equipment such as scales to measure the height and length of multi-ethnic baby dolls and four indirect calorimetry units that measure the amount of calories people are burning. Bruening said the machine will help promote critical thinking and give students a better awareness of the limitations of prediction techniques.

Robert Swanda, a senior biology and nutrition science dual major, said in an email that nutrition students should find the Nutrition ACE center useful since it has the most

updated research equipment.

“The Nutrition ACE center will take learning beyond the classroom, and place students into hands-on work that they will experience as a future dietician, health care provider, doctor, or researcher,” Swanda said.

factors that may have led to sexual assault encounters on campus, according to the survey.

Now, in order to improve the efficacy of the It’s On Us campaign at SU, Cowen said it is important to get the students involved in

conversations about sexual assault prevention.

“It’s not just on administrators and faculty, but it’s also really about engaging students and getting them to address these issues together,” she said.

Cowen recognized the lack of It’s On Us promotions over the summer, but said she hopes to continue implementing new events and partnerships to promote sexual assault awareness on campus.

Brion Neary, a brother of Alpha Chi Ro, said SU still needs to improve its promotion of It’s On Us around campus.

“It would be great to address It’s On Us at freshman orientation to inform new students and have them take the pledge,” Neary said. “The idea of helping prevent sexual assault would hopefully get into them from the beginning.”

Although Neary said SU can improve its

promotion of the It’s On Us campaign, he said the campaign has helped to change students’ mentality about sexual assault.

Rachel Martin began raising awareness about sexual and relationship violence as a peer educator in the Office of Health Promotions two years ago.

Martin, now a senior psychology major, said her role requires her to be ready to engage with fellow students about serious issues regarding sexual assault.

“It is vital to get the word out that we, as a campus, as a community and as a nation, do not stand for this,” Martin said. “Those conversations help people learn more about sexual assault and continue to help us build our safe, supportive, healthy environment.”

“could have some benefit as all it takes is one simple jerk.”

The main feature of the app is that it allows users to call 911 — directing them to the Syracuse Police Department — at the push of a button in the case of an emergency. The only problem with that, Warren said, is SPD’s jurisdiction is outside of SU-owned and controlled property.

Companion does not direct student emergencies to the DPS dispatch center, which handles all incidents and reports on campus.

While there is no affiliation between DPS and Companion, DPS contracted with the LiveSafe app in July. LiveSafe gives users the ability to call SPD or DPS, and even message DPS. Within LiveSafe is a “SafeWalk” function

that is comparable to the peer tracking of the Companion app.

The “SafetyMap” within LiveSafe maps out public safety offices, police stations, hospitals and areas deemed unsafe or unsavory by other students who use the app. LiveSafe crowdsources this information, and allows users to input “Non-Emergency Tips” such as assault, suspicious activity, theft and vandalism. LiveSafe also acts as a reference app, with the contacts and locations of health and wellness services on the SU campus.

Both Jandl and Warren agree on the concept and functionality of both applications, which support the safety and protection of students through devices.

“Any technology that speeds your access to help when you need it can certainly be a great thing. ... I think that safety and security technologies like this one could certainly be helpful,” Warren said.

Even with these new and advanced safety technologies, both Jandl and Warren said, it is important to note that these apps should never interfere with students’ awareness of their surroundings.

“No matter how comfortable you feel here, no matter how many people you know or you’re with, you never know what’s going to happen late at night,” Jandl said. “I think it’s important that everybody becomes comfortable with what our phones really can do.”

“TAs Like Me: Racial Interactions Between Graduate Teaching Assistants and Undergraduates,” Wright said he concluded that students

Under the supervision of a professor, TAs are given responsibilities that can directly impact student’s academic performance. TAs help host weekly discussion sections, hold office hours, tutor, proctor exams and grade assignments and exams.

In undergraduate programs, the racial composition has shifted from 82 percent of students in 1976 being white to 57 percent in 2013, according to the study.

“I would imagine the effect would be more pronounced with the minority population (at Syracuse University),” Wright said.

“Especially in the case of non-native speaking undergrads who would benefit from their TA speaking their native language.”

At SU, international students make up

about 10 percent of the university’s population, according to the SU website.

However, some people, like Yuxi “Cecelia” Zhou, do not agree with what the study finds.

Zhou, who is a first-year television, radio and film graduate student and TA, said she thinks the level of trust between students and their TAs and whether or not students find their TAs to be approachable is more important.

Eshetu Shiferaw, a sophomore computer science major, said a lot of his TAs aren’t the same race or ethnicity as him.

“It just matters how I connect to them and if they explain things that helps me understand,” Shiferaw said.

It’s not just on administrators and faculty, but it’s also really about engaging students and getting them to address these issues together.

18 The years the ACE center has been in the making for Kay Bruening and Tanya Horacek The establishment of the new center, accompanied with the consolidation of mostly all the Falk programs into one building, shows what Bruening said she sees as a transformation within the school. The nutrition and food studies programs will move to the Falk Complex once the renovations of the program

offices are completed, and the marriage and family therapy program will remain in its facility on Fayette Street, Bruening said.

Having one building for the college is a “major” step in the college’s transformation, said Christina Lipuma, a senior in the Falk College, in an email. Lipuma added that having the Falk Complex “will allow for more collaboration both within and between departments.”

Bruening, who has reviewed accreditation of dietician education programs in 20 states and three foreign countries, said she has never seen a facility better than Falk’s new ACE Center.

“We’ve been dreaming about it for a long time,” she said. “And I hope our students will be as excited about it as the faculty are because the faculty have all these creative ideas of things we can do now with our students. It’s all about the students.” atorrens@syr.edu

Wood stock With funding from New York state Sen. Catherine Young (R-NY), SUNY-ESF is partnering with the Wellsville Campus of Alfred Sate College to build a biorefinery. The refinery would take advantage of a process that would extract useful chemicals found in wood while keeping the wood in tact to be used again.

SUNY-ESF partners with U.S. schools for wood chemical extraction

By Taylor Watson contributing writer

W

ith the help of SUNY-ESF, the Wellsville Campus of Alfred State College is about to be crowned with a biorefining jewel.

In a collaboration amongst numerous educational institutions across the United States, including SUNY-ESF, steps are being taken toward the creation of a Biorefinery Development and Commercialization Center (BDCC).

In essence, the purpose of the BDCC is to put into practice a revolutionary process that extracts useful chemicals found in wood, while leaving the wood intact for other uses. Once extracted, the chemicals can be used to create an array of environmentally friendly products including biodegradable and compostable plastic, food additives and glues.

“We are offering refining technology that is clean, green, and environmentally safe,” said Preston Gilbert, senior researcher at the State

University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

The extraction method to be used at the BDCC was developed at SUNY-ESF and is known as Hot Water Extraction (HWE).

Patented by Biorefinery Research Institute Director Thomas Amidon, the process has been deemed viable in a pilot scale. The next step is an intermediate scale-up on the Wellsville Campus of Alfred State College.

This will eventually turn into a research facility, pioneering the launch of numerous full-scale commercial biorefineries across New York state.

“This project is essential to expedite the commercializing of the technology,” Amidon said.

Commercialization will lead to what is known as the “New Forest Economy,” an assimilated cluster of businesses and industries that would rely on products produced at the biorefinery.

As for the Alfred State location, resources and history are the driving factors. The abun-

dance of wood available in western New York can be used as a feedstock to support the facility, Gilbert said.

“The geographic history brings all the more reason to place the BDCC in Wellsville,” he said. “The regional attitude towards refining is 150 years old, refining is something they feel comfortable doing.”

This month, New York State Sen. Catharine Young (R-NY) secured $1 million for the BDCC. Once the necessary $13 million is secured to fund the project, it will take about 18 months to build.

“For hundreds of years, those forests and fields have provided economic sustenance to our people,” Young said. “Now, it’s time to take those resources to a new level.”

Christopher Wood, one of the leaders of the BDCC project and a graduate student studying paper engineering at SUNY-ESF, has been involved with biorefinery since he was a junior in high school.

One of his main roles is researching how to take carbon sugars and convert them into

industrial chemicals.

In the future, Gilbert plans to further student involvement.

“Our hope is that various undergraduate and graduate programs at ESF and Alfred State College will have a hand in the ongoing work in the research and commercial facility,” Gilbert said.

Once the center is built, Gilbert said he hopes it will spur economic activity in the area.

Gilbert added that the researchers are creating a market for the wood, which is native to New York. This use of the wood will in turn make more jobs.

For each commercial facility built, at least 40 direct jobs will be created along with an additional 60 to 100 secondary jobs per biorefinery.

“The fabrication of products will lead to the displacement of similar imports being processed in Asia, bringing those jobs back to New York state,” said Gilbert. tnwatson@syr.edu

SU professor conducts study on fracking, water quality

By Chris Lucey contributing writer

An extensive study conducted by a Syracuse University professor has shown that central New York water quality has not been negatively affected by intense “fracking” operations in northern Pennsylvania and southeastern Ohio.

Don Siegel, the department chair and an earth sciences professor at SU, and his five-person team concluded from their study that the groundwater quality around the “frac units” on the Marcellus and Utica Shale fields, in Ohio and Pennsylvania respectively, met the standard.

Siegel’s study falls in line with similar studies on the matter performed by the EPA and the United States Geological Survey. Siegel and his team tested more than 21,000 samples of groundwater over the course of their study with some of the samples coming from depths that exceeded federal requirements by more than 500 feet, according to a Sept. 14 Ohio.com article.

The study was accepted by ScienceDirect in June and will be published in December in Applied Geochemistry magazine.

The environmental effects of “hydraulic fracturing,” or fracking, were the main concerns of this study. Fracking is a process by

which natural gas, a fossil fuel, is drawn up from shale rock deposits located deep below the earth’s surface.

Fracking waste is sometimes radioactive.

Where to treat the waste is a concern because most waste treatment plants are unequipped to handle such materials.

Sharon Moran

associate professor of environmental studies at suny-esf

Natural gas is captured by applying pressure to the shale deposits with streams of highly pressurized water, sand and chemicals. The Chesapeake Energy Corporation has been harnessing natural gas in the two areas included in the study since 2007, and was responsible for hiring the contractors that took the water samples for Siegel and his team.

“I was contacted by Chesapeake and asked

if I would guide them in interpreting the basic science that would come from this unprecedented, large dataset,” Siegel said in an email.

“They funded me privately and put no constraints on what would be published, ‘profracking’ or not.”

In additions to concerns about the contamination of drinking water, Sharon Moran, an associate professor of environmental studies at the State of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, said that common concerns surrounding fracking operations include “forest fragmentation and the disposal of waste.”

“Fracking waste is sometimes radioactive,” Moran said in an email. “Where to treat the waste is a concern because most waste treatment plants are unequipped to handle such materials.”

Groundwater samples surrounding the Marcellus and Utica shale fracking sites tested positive for high levels of metal contamination.

But Siegel’s study found that “natural geological formations” in the area were responsible for the anomalies.

Siegel explained that the results from the study were “neither unusual nor surprising and are consistent with previous results in both areas … Taken both before and after unconventional gas development began.”

According to Chesapeake’s website, the Marcellus and Utica shale fields are both their largest and fastest expanding sites for natural gas extraction. Between the two, there are more than 1,200 drilling sites and 1.23 million acres of land.

Fracking operations were outlawed in New York state this past June due to local disapproval of the practice, but Siegel maintains that Chesapeake has, for the most part, conducted their operations responsibly.

“Of course there have been several errors in drilling,” said Siegel. “However, that number is relatively small considering the size of their drilling effort; and the EPA came to the same conclusion in their five-year report on the operation as well.”

Despite this sentiment, Moran remains skeptical of allowing fracking within New York state lines due to a lack of federal precedents and knowledge surrounding the relatively new practice.

“The industry’s strategy of doing an end run around the key federal law, the Safe Drinking Water Act, has placed additional burdens on regulators at the state and local levels,” Moran said. “So the public is correct to keep insisting that regulators develop sensible strategies that manage risks in prudent ways.” cplucey@syr.edu

THE HUMAN CONDITION Film Festival brings documentaries to SU students, faculty

By Erik Benjamin, Kyle Stevens and Alex Erdekian the daily orange

S

yracuse University’s 13th annual Human Rights Film Festival took place from Sept. 24 to Sept. 26. The festival showed a variety of films, spanning the globe and different human rights issues. Professors Roger Hallas and Tula Goenka created the festival in 2003 and still run it. Here’s a film-by-film look at some of the highlights of the festival.

“(T)error” “(T)error” is considered a documentary, but the film is even more — “(T)error” is a thriller, a drama, a social statement and a documentary, all in one. The film follows a man named Sharif who operates

as an FBI informant, investigating and befriending potential terrorists to help the FBI. The true genius of the film, directed by Lyric Cabral and David Sutcliffe, is that it shows all sides of the story. The audience sees Sharif’s point of view, but we are also shown the point of view of the men he is investigating. This holistic view of the events lets the audience form its own opinions of who is right, who is wrong and who is justified.

From a filmmaking perspective, the documentary is stunning. At a brisk 79 minutes, the movie ran extremely fast, but each of the 79 minutes was essential and thrilling. It truly felt like a narrative piece. Featuring a haunting score and perfectly bleak cinematography, “(T)error” was a superb start to the festival.

“LandFill Harmonic” The film places the audience in Paraguay, where we

meet Favio Chavez, a man who wants to start a youth orchestra in a relatively poor area. However, he cannot afford instruments. Instead of giving up, Chavez leads a team to make instruments out of old garbage. The result: an inspiring story that leads to both a fun and sobering film.

This film is engaging to watch as we see Chavez’s orchestra, entitled “The Recycled Orchestra” evolve from its humble beginnings to a YouTube sensation and then perform with bands such as MegaDeath and go on a world tour. The film stays grounded, showing us the hard work and dedication behind the music.

The children in the film are cute and fun to watch, and the tale as a whole is inspiring. The film really made me think of the importance of music in society, as it is a language everyone can speak. This quick, see film

Mary Karr discusses ‘The Art of Memoir,’ national book tour

By Audrey O’Donnell contributing writer

Syracuse University professor Mary Karr is receiving critical acclaim for her latest book, “The Art of Memoir.”

The novel addresses the importance of memoir and acts as a part-how-to guide for aspiring memoirists. In her 24 years teaching in the Creative Writing MFA at Syracuse, Karr has published seven books including three memoirs, “The Liars’ Club,” “Cherry” and “Lit.” Karr took a break from her month-long book tour to talk to The Daily Orange

about her latest project, her transition into the writer she is today and what memoirs really mean to her.

The D.O.: What inspired you to write “The Art of Memoir”?

M.K.: They offered me a whole lot of money. I’ve been teaching memoirs for 30 years, at Syracuse for 20 or so. I’ve obviously loved the form for a long time. I’m passionate about memoir and I’ve been teaching it a long time so it’s a natural thing.

Basically, they called me up and offered me money, and I thought, “for that amount of money, yeah sure.” This book was not as painful

for me to write as my memoirs. This book was about reading and writing memoirs, and so I think it was more intellectually challenging and far less emotionally challenging.

The D.O.: Why are memoirs in particular so special to you?

M.K.: I think I was a lonely child, and I think they made me feel less lonely. I also think they gave me hope, because people survived. Michael Herr lived past the Vietnam War. Maxine Sean-Kingston survived her complicated, Chinese-American childhood. They made me believe I could grow up and get out of the

mess I was in, which meant reading for hours in a state of socially sanctioned disassociation, I was in a very difficult family, and reading really took me out of it.

The D.O.: How would you describe your writing style to those who have never read your work?

M.K.: I think my voice is pretty unique. I think every memoirist really who succeeds in the form has to have a very singular specific voice that reflects their inferior and psychological stakes. I’ve been told I have a very distinct voice, and that’s always been one of my goals.

The D.O.: Out of all of your published works, which one do you feel the most proud of?

M.K.: I’m not particularly proud of anything. I mean, I want to be William Shakespeare and so far, I’m failing. I try to be pretty humble — all of my books are as good as I can make them, but I’m never quite satisfied with anything. I think that’s a life of an artist.

The D.O.: When did you know you wanted to be a writer?

M.K.: When I was 5, I used Shakespeare as a booster seat. The story

“Overburden” Deep in the pocket of West Virginia lay small mining towns scattered throughout the Appalachian Mountain Range. For over a century, the coal industry dominated the entire culture of these towns. “Overburden” witnesses the rise of opposition to the coal industry, specifically for the health concerns and lack of diversification within the economy. Documentary director Chad Stevens spent over 10 years in the community surrounding Coal River Mountain, which was essentially ruled by the coal company Massey Energy and their magnate Don Blankenship.

Stevens had quite the challenge of finding the right story within the endless hours of video, audio, and text he had piled up from his from page 9

time in the area, but the final product (only 66 minutes) found the perfect voice. Most of the story focuses on three people: Lorelei Scarbro, a grandmother and a widow of a coal miner, Rory McIlmoil, an activist who introduces wind farm plans to help diversify the local economy and save lives, and Betty Harrah, a woman who’s views on coal are forever changed by the death of her miner brother. Stevens weaves the personal stories of the women and their families with the legal and political battle that McIlmoil leads.

“Overburden” astonishes by highlighting the lack of say these West Virginians have in their own lives under the control of Massey Energy, but also the hope that some of the community have for a greener, safer and more diverse future.

side of her everyday life, but director Shonali Bose makes it clear that she has the same emotions, desires and confusion of anybody her age. After moving to the big apple to go to New York University on scholarship, Laila begins to date a blind Pakastani girl, Khanum.

With so much content in the situation, the story could have easily confused, but her control of the story (she also wrote the script) showed by making sure the audience was always seeing the situation from Laila’s point of view.

You care so much for her when she comes out to her mother, when she admits to Khanum that she cheated on her with a boy, and when her mother dies of cancer.

I would not recommend sitting between your two parents to watch this one (I did), but the lesson Bose teaches is one necessary for everybody to learn. Seeking the ‘normal’, no matter who you are, will only take away from who you are as a person.

King David’s offers cheap, quality Middle Eastern cuisine at Marshall Street location

The Greek chicken salad at King David’s consists of lettuce, tomato, feta cheese, black olives, grilled chicken and Greek dressing. The Marshall Street location has been up and running for more than 40 years. The restaurant’s other location in Fayetteville, New York opened in 2004 and offers an expanded menu. kelli mosher staff photographer

T

he hidden treasure of Marshall Street is hands down King David’s.

The nice, little Middle Eastern café-style restaurant has fast service, is cheap and is very convenient. King David’s is not only an excellent place to sit down for quality cuisine, but also a great hangout spot with a casual, enjoyable atmosphere.

Milad and Angela Hatem established the restaurant in 1974 and began serving university students and faculty members. The original location of the establishment was where Chipotle resides now (129 Marshall Street) but the son of the owners, Charlie Hatem, decided to down size and relocate upstairs in 2011.

I’ve been to King David’s a bunch of times and usually get the Salmon salad, which I highly recommend. This time, however, I changed it up and went with the Greek Chick-

en Salad. This consists of lettuce, tomato, feta cheese, black olives, grilled chicken and Greek dressing. I thought the chicken was fresh and tasty but had too much seasoning on it. The dressing was very heavy and made the salad taste like it was unhealthy.

I also got a side of hummus which was superb. I dipped a few pieces of pita in the hummus and it melted in my mouth. I liked how thin the pita was, because it was light yet satisfying.

They do not deliver but do curb side pickups. They also offer an off campus meal plan. Prices are medium and range between $7–$15.

The restaurant is medium sized and has a fair amount of tables for seating. There are designed rugs throughout the restaurant along with stained glass star light lanterns.

The restaurant plays Lebanese music and all of the decor symbolizes the designs of the Middle East.

King David’s is well known for its gyros, kebabs and hummus. There are three different

kinds of gyros: chicken, beef and lamb and all are made fresh from the rotisserie. Their tzatziki sauce is also very popular and is homemade daily. The restaurant specializes in vegetarian food and offers an entirely separate gluten-free menu.

I would say that the restaurant offers a pretty healthy menu overall. Everything is cooked with unsaturated fats and there are a lot of healthy options. Having a healthy menu for students is imperative to Hatem because he knows how health conscious people are today.

A must try on the menu is the Greek pitza.

All of the pitzas are baked on 12” pita with fresh mozzarella, Greek olives, tomatoes and Greek spices. You can also add additional toppings to the pitzas for a 0.75 charge. There are several pitzas to choose from including: Greek cheese, chicken, mushroom, roasted red pepper, pesto, vegetarian, chicken pesto, sun dried tomato, artichoke, spinach, eggplant and chawarma.

King David’s is also known for its Baklava, a sweet layered pastry typically with nuts and other fillings. There are three flavors: Walnut, chocolate and pistachio. They also offer other desserts like rice pudding and coconut cake.

All of the desserts are baked at offsite and are delivered daily.

King David’s has another location in Fayetteville, New York. It is located amongst Syracuse’s fastest growing shopping destinations in the Fayetteville Mall. This location has been open since the summer of 2004 and is known for offering a more intimate dining experience. Here, beer and wine is offered, unlike the King David’s on Marshall Street.

The Fayetteville restaurant is bigger and has the capacity to make more of a variety of food.

They offer more Greek dishes such as Musakka and Pastichio.

King David’s is a reliable dining option near campus. The restaurant is accommodating and always provides a fresh meal. caweinst@syr.edu

LSU RB Leonard Fournette: Syracuse is Running Back U

By Matt Schneidman asst. sports editor

Before LSU played Syracuse, running back Leonard Fournette tweeted a picture of the Carrier Dome rafters with a caption paying homage to Ernie Davis, Floyd Little and Jim Brown. After the game, he spoke with Little, humbled by one of the best to play his own position.

In between, the Tigers’ sophomore rushed for 244 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-24 win over the Orange (3-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast).

He became the first-ever LSU (3-0, 2-0 Southeastern) player to run for 200 yards in con-

secutive games in the same season. And as he continued his trek toward the Heisman Trophy, Fournette did so on the same grounds as three legendary Syracuse running backs he credits his meteoric rise to.

“Who wouldn’t want to come here,” Fournette said, “…just looking up to these guys.”

The only time SU could slow down Fournette for any stretch of time was when he was hit in his midsection and had to come out.

Antwan Cordy brought Fournette down for a loss of 6 yards in the fourth, but at that point the sophomore had eclipsed 200 yards, which could’ve been 300 if not for a negated 87-yard

touchdown run.

Who wouldn’t want to come here, just looking up to these guys.

Leonard Fournette lsu running back

Both of Fournette’s touchdowns came in the end zone just below a picture of Davis that spans more than half a stadium section wide.

He could very well be en route to the same fate as Davis’ 54 years ago, a season ending with college football’s highest individual honor.

Before the game, Fournette looked up Little and Brown. Little praised Fournette’s dissection of the SU defense and that he’d pray for Fournette’s success. The LSU standout used the word “legend” to describe Little, a classification for himself that he’s starting to set the foundation for.

“Syracuse started Running Back U,” Fournette said after the game. “It’s a great tradition here.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

Weers leads Syracuse with 7 points in win over Terriers

By Sam Fortier asst. web editor

The ball rolled in off the penalty corner directly to Serra Degnan, who, hunched over, quickly tapped a pass to Lies Lagerweij.

Lagerweij, seeing no angle for a shot, reversed the ball to Roos Weers. Weers squared up a one-timer and sent the ball flying past the sliding goalie to give Syracuse a 3-0 lead.

Just after the ball clanked off the inside of the goal, Lagerweij sprinted to Weers, lowfived and bumped her in celebration. “(Weers) executed on corners today,” head coach Ange Bradley said. “She played really solid. Her dad’s in town for the weekend, so I believe that’s some inspiration.”

Weers’ father, who traveled from the Netherlands, saw his daughter score her second goal and an eventual hat trick. Though the Orange offense started slowly — the team led 1-0 at half— Weers and the defense solved Boston University’s counterattack at halftime, which led to the Orange generating more penalty corners in the game (eight) than the BU had total shots (seven). Weers led the attacking defense of No. 2 Syracuse (9-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast) with

“It can be frustrating and boring (to just play the sides),” Lagerweij said. “But that’s what (Boston) wants. That’s why it was important to reverse the ball. Eventually, they got tired and big balls opened up.”

running so I played it there,” Weers said. “And then the goal was even better.”

Russell’s shot deflected off the top bar and down into the goal.

The pass from Weers skidded past three Boston defenders in the area, but found Russell’s stick. It was on theme for the style that Weers played all day. Twice in the first half Weers played long balls, which hit the back of the goal, but didn’t count because Weers had shot them inside the circle.

“When I play the (long ball), we always try to get a deflection for the forwards, but obviously it’s great (if they draw a penalty corner too),” Weers said. “We want a goal, it doesn’t matter.”

About a dozen times Sunday, Weers received a pass from a back-line teammate and sent a long ball. Sometimes the ball rolled through and out of bounds, other times, an opponent intercepted it. But on occasion, long balls resulted in an Orange scoring opportunity or Russell standing on the endline, playing in a penalty corner. “(Weers) has played really well the past few weeks,” Lagerweij said. “She’s…scoring goals.

It’s fun.”

On the Orange’s seventh penalty corner, a shot by Lagerweij caromed off a Terrier defender in front and squirted out to the top left of the circle. Weers was standing in the right place. By the time Weers shot hit the back wall of the goal, Terrier goalie Cammy Jensen had her arms extended, looking for an answer that didn’t come.

Weers and the defense figured out that the best way to combat Boston’s drop-back defense was to run the offense up the sidelines as opposed to in the middle of the field. Often, one of the main defenders — Weers, Lagerweij

The Iroquois posed for the photo they didn’t want to take. They were the second group of players to accept medals — not the third, which receives gold.

Once each player had the silver medal dangling from his neck, the Iroquois huddled on the field one last time and then saluted the home fans.

“With this Iroqouis team, we knew we were going to have our hands full,” Canadian head coach Eddie Comeau said.

Though it wasn’t always a guarantee, the Canadians finished the game powerfully and were cel-

ebrating another title just a few feet away. Family members flooded the field and wives and children took photos with the champions.

When the Canadians took a team photo with the trophy, one player yelled, “Get those 1’s up,” a reference to where his team stands in international indoor lacrosse.

Evans, the tournament MVP, later stood next to the table where the championship trophy was handed out. He held his MVP plaque in his right hand and, as the Onondaga Nation Faithkeeper Oren Lyons gave a speech, two of his children were by his side. His wife, who was holding their third child, was in the middle of a scrum of photographers.

LSU is built around its run game, but the Tigers

also aired it out over SU’s struggling secondary to keep the hosts within comfortable distance.

Cordy was more disruptive in the box, but against teams focusing less on a Heismancaliber running back, Cordy’s outing, and SU’s, could be indicative of an upward trend Syra-

cuse knows some don’t expect.

“I felt like we got more confidence after playing LSU. They only beat us by 10 points,” Cordy said. “So I feel like we can hang with any team now going forward.”

boston play there.”

Jecko didn’t see much action in net Sunday as No. 2 Syracuse (9-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast) defeated No. 17 Boston University (6-3, 2-0 Patriot), 5-1, at J.S. Coyne Stadium behind an impressive defensive effort in which the Terriers were limited to seven shots - four on goal - and one penalty corner. But when BU did push up the field offensively, the defense made plays by reshaping its back line, relying on offensive

possession, and sinking midfielders into the defensive zone.

Roos Weers, Lies Lagerweij and Zoe Wilson formed the back line of the defense that only allowed BU two shots in the first half and was practically impenetrable.

A few minutes after Cassera had her chance poked away by Manley, BU’s Grace Boston also slipped behind the SU defense. Weers recovered, slid over to her right to catch her and knocked the ball out of bounds to neutralize the potential scoring threat.

“We kept really good counter structure to be able to help limit them,” head coach Ange Bradley said. “They did have some really good chances in the first half.”

Coming out of halftime, the Terriers failed to hold possession in their own offensive quarter until nearly ten minutes expired.

Down 3-0 and with just over 20 minutes remaining in play, BU head coach Sally Starr called a timeout. She gestured down the field with her arms, imploring her players to push forward.

Out of the timeout, the Terriers pushed down the field by working the ball around the back and then up the field. The pressure was on for what felt like the first time, Lagerweij said, but the defense held up time and again.

“I think there were only two shots on goal and that’s all due to the defense,” Jecko said.

“Stepping up, intercepting, outletting the ball well and making smart plays — there’s nothing that they didn’t do well today.”

BU’s Sofi Laurito charged into the teeth of the defense four times throughout the second half, but despite consistently finding the circle, the Orange held her to one shot by collapsing midfielders and reshaping the backs.

SU did slip up once rotating, allowing the Terriers to score with four minutes left, spoiling what would’ve been Jecko’s fourth shutout of the season.

It was the only blemish for Syracuse on a game that was almost seamless throughout.

“Our keeper deserved a shutout. The defense deserved the shutout tonight,” Lagerweij said. “It’s annoying to have that unnecessary goal ruin what was one of our best performances defensively.” lpsull01@syr.edu

with. Against LSU, he said he planned to keep the offense simple because he was working with an inexperienced starter.

Hunt said he preferred to work with Lester because Lester wouldn’t get mad at him if he had a reason for every decision he made. He doesn’t force players to fit into what he wants to do. He lets players figure out where they fit in his offense.

“Coach Lester’s scheme is amazing,” Mahoney said. “He’s got so many moving parts that it messes with the defense so much, and you never know what can happen next play.”

On Mahoney’s first four drives on Saturday, he completed just one pass and failed to get a first down. Lester could see how he was tense on two disastrous throws to Ben Lewis in one fruitless drive.

But it was Lester’s confidence in the quarterback when it was clear he’d lost it that turned things around. He said he’d take Mahoney out if he didn’t start having fun.

Three passing touchdowns later and the narrative of his performance flipped.

Syracuse entered yesterday’s game as an unproven 3-0. It left as a far more respected 3-1.

The season hasn’t spiraled out of control yet. With four quarterbacks used in the first three games, it very well could have.

But Lester has control of the offense, no matter who’s playing in it. sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

TIM LESTER has dealt with injuries to quarterbacks Terrel Hunt and Eric Dungey. Lester’s offense is thriving despite a hectic start to his first full season on the job, and it’s his leadership that deserves credit. moriah ratner asst. photo editor

We knew (Leonard Fournette) was legit.

We knew he was going to break a run, that’s not a big deal, but just tackle him. Make him earn every touchdown that he gets… I think we accomplished that.

There were some nerves in the first half and those nerves kind of messed up my motion a little bit.

I reverted back to old habits. I was not nearly as consistent as I should be. I missed a lot of open throws and I just wish I could get those back.

Canada captures World Indoor Lacrosse Championship at Dome

By Paul Schwedelson asst. copy editor

A

ngus Goodleaf stood still 5 yards in front of the Iroquois net staring across the field.

His right elbow sat on the butt end of his stick, which was firmly planted into the AstroTurf.

The Iroquois goalie had just allowed the nail-in-the-coffin goal to Canada’s Shawn Evans, the eventual tournament MVP. Trailing by three goals with three minutes to play, the

longed Iroquois comeback seemed as unrealistic as ever after being within one just minutes earlier.

“They were just a little bit better,” Iroquois head coach Rick Kilgour said. “… If we could have tied it up, who knows? But I guess that’s what losers always say.”

The Canadians’ unbeaten streak at the World Indoor Lacrosse Championship continued in the gold medal game with a 12-8 win over the Iroquois Nationals on Sunday in the Carrier Dome. For the fourth straight

time since the inception of the WILC, Canada won gold and the Iroquois Nationals took silver.

After Lyle Thompson brought the Nationals within just one goal at 8-7 early in the fourth quarter, Canada went on a 4-1 run to ice the game.

“We knew we had to worry about what’s next and not worry about what just happened,” said Canada’s Curtis Dickson, who scored four goals.

“We’ve been great all tournament at bouncing back.”

Lyle Thompson and his brother

Miles Thompson were limited to just one goal each. Kilgour said his team jokes that they’re like the Beatles because they attract so much attention from fans, but they also were the focus of Canada’s defense. They were forced to take shots on the run and had limited time and space to shoot.

As Canada pulled away in the fourth quarter, its fans in Section 114 grew louder as the lead continued to increase. They were outnumbered by fans of the Iroquois, the

Syracuse defense clamps down in 5-1 win over BU

By Liam Sullivan staff writer

Boston University’s Amanda Cassera watched a pass loft high over the heads of every Syracuse defender, scooped it up and bolted toward the

net. Jess Jecko knew she had a clear path and called midfielder Alyssa Manley over to help.

Number of games SU has held opponents to less than 10 shots

Manley shot toward the streaking BU forward, reached out with her stick and poked away the ball before Cassera even entered the circle. Possession changed hands with 30:10 remaining in the first half, Syracuse moved back up the field and Jecko

didn’t even need to move.

“That was beautiful,” Jecko said. “… When they make a play like that, I just get to relax and breathe because if (Cassera) comes in, it would’ve been a one-v-one and it’s anyone’s

Brandon Harris took a snap out of the shotgun and less than two seconds later was lying on the Carrier Dome turf with 5-foot-8, 175-pound Antwan Cordy staring down at him. Two plays later, Cordy forced a pass destined for the hands of Malchi Dupre to the ground, capping of an LSU threeand-out.

The sophomore safety carried his weight on an afternoon when the rest of the Syracuse secondary didn’t. Wayne Morgan, Chauncey Scissum and Rodney Williams were left chasing Leonard Fournette. Julian Whigham had the two most costly mistakes of the game in the fourth quarter. But Cordy, all in his compact stature, led the Orange (3-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) in tackles and tackles for loss in a 34-24 loss to No. 8 LSU (3-0, 2-0 Southeastern).

The little guy over here that we call Giant, Cordy has eight tackles, two (tackles for loss), a sack. That’s a good job. I’m proud of you.

Scott Shafer su head coach

He sat in a chair adjacent to Scott Shafer in the postgame interview room, hands on his knees as he listened to his head coach talk about what could have been. Shafer talked big picture, but also took time to highlight less than a handful of individual performances.

“The little guy over here that we call Giant, Cordy has eight tackles, two (tackles for loss), a sack,” Shafer said. “That’s a good job. I’m proud of you.”

During Syracuse’s training camp, Shafer told a story about Cordy conquering a military obstacle course despite an overwhelming see cordy page 12
