Flyers may need passports New York passengers might need different identification by 2016 By Sara Swann asst. news editor
People from four U.S. states, including New York, may need a passport to fly domestically starting Jan. 1, 2016. Standard licenses from New York, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire and American Samoa do not meet federal standards outlined in the Real ID Act, and are therefore considered “noncompliant” with security standards, according to a Sept. 23 Huffington Post article. The Real ID Act was enacted in 2005 and since then 46 states have complied with the policy.
Since 2012, SU Libraries has been moving low-use print items into a high-density storage facility on South Campus. So far, more than 600,000 items have been moved into storage with about 400,000 of those items being print books. logan reidsma photo editor
South Campus storage facility saves SU Libraries nearly $2 million By Rachel Sandler asst. news editor

urrounded by graveyards and industrial buildings on the outskirts of South Campus, a nondescript warehouse sits in a rarely visited part of Syracuse University. The only other university building in the area is home to the materi-
als distribution department, which is down the street. The building itself, called “The Facility,” is gray, and the newly paved parking lot in front of the building is barely filled. Inside “The Facility,” though, is a complex, high-density storage operation involving more than 600,000 items from SU Libraries, said Anthony Carbone, manager of “The Facility.”
High-density storage is a process by which items are stored with the intent of taking up the least amount of space possible. The result is that 7,100 shelves — at 12 feet tall — can store up to 1 million items in a relatively small space, Carbone said. But “The Facility” is not easily browsable like the shelves in Bird Library. see libraries page 6

While Syracuse University Professor Eric Kingson’s campaign for Congress will focus on social security, Kingson says he will also work to combat issues relating to college students.
Kingson, a social work professor at SU, announced on Sept. 16 his running to New York’s 24th Congressional District representative. The 69-year-old said in his official campaign announcement that protecting and expanding social security is a major part of his platform, but said in
an interview with The Daily Orange that he would also focus on student issues, including student debt, campus safety, environmental issues and an increase in the job market. As a professor, Kingson said he believes that he has a special perspective and understanding of what

Keli Perrin, assistant director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism (INSCT), said for the last 10 years, states have eventually complied with the Real ID Act, leaving four states still resisting the act. Fifteen years ago, Perrin said, hundreds of documents could be accepted at the border, so the federal government passed the Real ID Act in an effort to limit the number of documents accepted.
