1 petition filed for SA president
By William Norrisstaff writer
One Syracuse University student has turned in a petition to run for stu-dent body president and vice pres-ident as of Wednesday, said Board of Elections and Membership Chair Paulina Colon. The deadline to turn petitions in is Friday.
Janine Bogris, the vice chair of elections for BEM, said that all of the petitions that the board printed have been taken and that it is common for people to hand in petitions closer to the deadline.
Colon said that running for these positions requires receiving 500 signa-tures, and students are given less than a month to compile the signatures.
“They are coming,” she said of the petitions.
Bogris added that SA has been posting about the petitions on all of the organization’s social media and that SA President Boris Gresely sent an email to the student body with information about when the petitions were due.
This semester marks the first time that the SA president and vice pres-ident will be elected in the spring. Elections were previously held in the fall, but a change in the SA constitu-tion in the fall of 2013 made it so that the presidential term aligns with the academic calendar.
As for turnout in this April’s elections, the organization has bigger expectations for this year’s elections.
“We are expecting that the stu-dent body will get more involved and we will have a higher voting percent-age than last year,” Bogris said.
Organizations plan vigil to honor shooting victims
Christmas answers call in Orange’s best win of season
By Lydia Wilsonasst. news editor
The Student Association will be holding a candlelight vigil on Thurs-day in remembrance of three Muslim students who were shot and killed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
The vigil, which is in collaboration with the Muslim Student Association and Hendricks Chapel, will take place at 5 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel.
Last week, the three students were shot and killed near the Uni-versity of North Carolina-Chapel Hill campus. The father of one of the
victims called the killings a “hate crime,” and the FBI announced an inquiry into the case late last week.
Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, was indicted Monday on three counts of murder and one count of discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling.
The event will begin with a purifi-
cation and a welcome by Dean of Hen-dricks Chapel Tiffany Steinwert. Mus-lim Chaplain Richard Russell will then recite Islamic prayers for loss in Arabic and English. Yusuf Abdul-Qadir will deliver a keynote speech, before a student testimonial on Islamophobia.

RAKEEM CHRISTMAS prepares to shoot a free throw against No. 12 Louisville. After combining for 18 points in SU’s last two games, he scored a game-high 29 points and went 11-for-13 on free throws to help the Orange beat the Cardinals 69-59. chase gaewski staff photographer
It was obvious to Michael Gbinije that Rakeem Christmas wasn’t happy after Saturday’s loss.
The Syracuse big man had disap-peared against Jahlil Okafor, Duke’s phenom and the potential national player of the year, and stumbled to his worst performance of the season.
But Christmas insists that the debate of his stature among the
country’s most prolific big men isn’t what drove him to respond the way he did Wednesday night.
“I don’t really care about all that. I just try to help my team win,”
Christmas said. “I knew I had to put that game behind me and that’s what I tried to do.
“And that’s what I did.”It was Christmas’ team again.
The script throughout the Orange’s nonconference schedule and its early Atlantic Coast Conference slate was re-enacted in the form of his most efficient game yet. After
two subpar outings — the latter of which on a national stage — he outshined Louisville’s Montrezl Harrell with 29 points as Syracuse (17-9, 8-5 ACC) finally got the best of a ranked team, the victim being the No. 12 Cardinals (20-6, 8-5), 69-59, in front of an overjoyed audience of 26,160 in the Carrier Dome.

I’ve had plenty of ginger beer before. When I was growing up, I couldn’t get enough of the stuff. At age 10, I would chug it in the school cafeteria and joke to my friends that I was having a beer. Before you get alarmed, no, I wasn’t drinking Crab-bie’s Original Alcoholic Ginger Beer, but that’s what I’m drinking today.
I really expected to taste some-thing that resembled ginger beer, but with added alcohol, as if you just poured vodka into the non-alcoholic beverage. I thought that it would dilute the ginger flavor and make it far less enjoyable.
The sweetness and potency of the ginger was the first thing to hit the tongue. It’s powerful, and for someone who doesn’t like ginger, it’s probably too strong. In order to enjoy this beer, you have to be a ginger lover. But the ginger adds a really interesting, almost spicy ele-ment to the aftertaste that lingers on the tongue.
The beer is extremely carbonated
and surprisingly refreshing. It’s perfect for a warm summer day, and — as the label on the bottle recom-mends — it would be fantastic served over ice with a slice of lemon or lime hanging on the side of the glass.
To be clear, this isn’t beer brewed with ginger. This is specifically a ginger beer with an entirely differ-ent brewing process and taste. It isn’t brewed with malt or hops, so if you’re expecting anything resem-bling a traditional beer, you’re out of luck.
What’s dangerous about this ginger beer is that you can’t taste any of the alcohol. I honestly wouldn’t be able to tell you if this had alcohol in it or not in a blind taste test. I could sit on my porch on a warm afternoon and drink this all day, which is com-mon when a beer has just 4.8 percent ABV like this one.
Regardless, if you’re looking for a great pop in flavor, a strong ginger taste and a perfect beverage for lounging by the pool, the Crabbie’s Original Alcoholic Ginger Beer is for you.

A group based in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs hosted a session on Wednesday in preparation for National Adjunct Walkout Day next Wednesday.
The Maxwell School’s Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration’s Labor
Studies Working Group hosted a session on Wednesday titled “Mobi-lizing the Academic Precariat: The Contingent Faculty Labor Move-ment at SU and Beyond.”
The Labor Studies Working Group is an interdisciplinary group of graduate students and faculty members that work toward advancing labor studies and labor related issues on campus. The
presentation focused on adjunct professors, specifically on their wages, working conditions and roles within universities both at SU and nationwide.
Recently, the issues that adjunct professors, or part-time, non-tenure track universit y employees, face have been a part of the national discussion because next Wednesday, adjuncts around
the U.S. will protest on National Adjunct Walkout Day.
The first speaker, Gretchen Purser, a professor of sociology and a member of the Labor Studies Work-ing Group, put the plight of adjuncts within a larger, national context.

As temperatures continue to dip below zero and snow continues to fall, the energy usage is rising at Syracuse University.
The weather has caused an increased amount of energy required to maintain comfortable temper-atures inside all the academic and
residential buildings across campus. Bitter cold temperatures felt this winter have specifically increased utilities used for heating such as steam, natural gas and in some cases electricity, said Nathan Prior, associ-ate director of climate operations in SU’s Department of Energy Systems & Sustainability Management.
“While the temperatures as of late winter have been bitterly cold,
overall, this winter is on track to be slightly warmer than last year based on heating degree days and energy usage for this fiscal year which is projected to be less than last year,” Prior said.
Temperatures dipped below minus 10 degrees on Monday, when a wind chill warning was in effect for south central New York.
SU organizes different depart-
ments across campus to monitor the weather when it gets this frigid, and they discuss the necessary course of action. Last Thursday, a decision was made to keep campus buildings functioning 24/7 for an entire week. The choice was made to ensure that buildings were warm enough when students, faculty and staff arrived to class in the morning, and to prevent

One-time corporate tax makes sense to fund needed infrastructure
Recently, President Barack Obama presented his tax plan for 2016, set-ting in motion the annual budgeting
cycle. The president’s tax plan again this year served as a wish list of his policy goals in com-parison to those of the GOP, and as usual, this ignited furious partisan debate. A particular segment — a provision that interlocks corpo-rate tax rates and infrastructure spending — has caught significant attention from both sides of the aisle.
At first glance this classic tax-and-spend should turn off a number of interest groups, not to mention the spending-leery and Con-gressionally-dominant Republican Party. But a number of major players from across the board are giving Obama’s plan a second look — as they should.
Obama’s plan calls for a one-time 14 percent tax on all corporate earnings, which under current law avoid taxation until they are repatriated. As expected, this has encour-aged large American corporations to hold their international profits overseas, rather than subject them to the current, signifi-
cantly higher tax rates, which range between 28–35 percent. After this one-time tax, the corporate tax rate will be set across the board at a lower 19 percent, regardless of where the earnings are held.
With the estimated $238 billion that could be brought in by this one-time tax, the president plans to fund part of a $478 billion, six-year infrastructure plan, with the remaining $240 billion coming from the Highway Trust Fund.
The plan would fund a necessary revital-ization of the nation’s deteriorating transpor-tation systems.
Democrats and Republicans alike have both acknowledged a need for infrastructure improvements and know that Highway Trust Fund revenues are expected to fall $13 billion short next year.
Republicans, as a whole, are less than giddy about the nearly half trillion dollars
that the White House wants to spend on infrastructure improvements. Sure, repairs are great, and the boost to domestic business is something they’ve been trying to accom-plish themselves, but good politics win out over good policy more often than not.
The amount that the president has asked to be set aside for this project is almost exactly the same size as the budget deficit, and many GOP leaders would jump on the opportunity to balance the budget in a swift and simple move.
While such a targeted slashing of spending would be convenient, it is beginning to look unlikely that such a direct attack on this plan will pan out.
For all intents and purposes, there shouldn’t be much of a fight from the Repub-lican Party.
Many aspects of the plan might sound familiar — its own Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.) proposed a similar one-time tax as part of his proposed reforms last year as the chair of House Ways and Means.
On the tax side of the equation, businesses
are expectedly resistant to such a change in policy. The Wall Street Journal reported that General Electric and Apple had $110 billion and $54.4 billion in earnings held abroad, respectively. That’s not a small chunk of change, and corporations don’t want to have to pay up now.
On the other side of the argument, howev-er, is that as corporate tax reform plans come, this is a fairly amenable and stable one. Even with the inclusion of overseas profits, an overall lowering of corporate taxes for many corporations would likely result in overall lower tax liability for many companies, which may ease the pain of the one-time tax. Regardless, their advocates in the GOP should be seriously considering this plan.
With a blue White House for the next two years, the Republican Congress is going to need to find some points of compromise — here’s where they can start.

Vigil shows solidarity, fosters tolerancescribble
On Thursday, Student Association in conjunction with the Muslim Student Association and Hendrick’s Chapel will hold a candlelight vigil to honor the lives of the students who were murdered last week in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This service is a sign of solidarity from the SU community and gives students the opportunity to confront modern day prejudices.
On Feb. 10, Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, a dentistry student at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill; his wife Yusor Abu-Salha, 21; and her sister Razan Abu-Salha, 19, a student at North Carolina State University, were murdered by a neighbor. Chapel Hill police reported that this attack was sparked by a parking dispute, but fam-ily members believe this attack was a hate crime fueled by Islamaphobia.
The candlelight vigil at SU will be
held at 5 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel, it was announced through an email from Student Association president Boris Gresely.
SA putting on this vigil and making it known to the student body is reflective of how students should be the ones to speak out against this injustice and honor the victims. This service is a sign of religious tolerance and can unify the student body in the light of this tragedy. While catastro-phes like this can happen anywhere and are never anticipated, these senseless killings hit especially close to home because they affected college students like those at SU.
In addition to remembering the lives of those slain, SU should reflect on how everyday prejudices can affect its campus. This extreme form of prejudice took the lives of students at
university that is not unlike our own. Racial and religious discrimination
are not things of the past — they are present and they are volatile. While discrimination doesn’t always come in such a radical form, it is not extinct.
With minority students making up just 25.8 percent of the student body, the majority of students on campus have the privilege of putting the issues of racial and religious discrimination out of the forefront of their minds. But that should not be the case.
This vigil should serve to show SU students of all religious beliefs that they are not alone and that they have the support from the campus community. It should also serve as a wake-up call for students to take ownership of their obligation to actively work against hate in all of its forms.

This past week has been one of the fashion industry’s biggest of the year: New York Fashion
Week. During this semi-annual week of fashion shows and events, the indus-try is always buzzing with news about the latest styles, models and celebrities.
But this year, a new kind of fashion show dominated the media. Instead of staging a typical show, designer Carrie Hammer took on fashion week with her campaign Role Models Not Runway Models. Hammer’s project showcased professional women’s fashion modeled by strong, influen-tial women. These women are CEOs, actresses and activists at the top of their professions, widely diverse in race and body types.
The Role Models Not Runway Mod-els campaign is an amazing thing to see in the fashion industry, especially in such an important event like New York
Fashion Week. But while the campaign did a great job promoting diversity, it needs to push the boundaries even more in the future so it continues to make a difference.
The fashion industry has long been dominated by tall, white and thin models; even models on the 2015 spring/summer runways were 83 percent white according to a Fash-ion Spot report. There’s not much room for diversity in race and body type in the cookie-cutter perfect modeling world, but only 5 percent of American women naturally possess a “model body.” The National Eating Disorders Association also reported that the typical model weighs 23 per-
cent less than the average woman, putting the models at a BMI consid-ered to be underweight.
This unhealthy ideal has very negative consequences. The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders reported that 47 percent of girls from 5th–12th grade want to lose weight because of models they see in magazines, among other similarly outrageous statistics.
Designer Carrie Hammer decided to change that with Role Models Not Runway Models. According to a Feb. 13 article by ThinkProgress, Hammer was tired of casting young, overly-skinny models and decided to start casting “role models” instead.
In her New York Fashion Week debut last year, Hammer cast qua-druple-amputee Karen Crespo in her show. This year, she made history again with casting “American Horror Story”
actress Jamie Brewer in her show, making her the first model with Down syndrome to walk in fashion week.
Hammer took a risk in starting this campaign, and she deserves all the attention she is getting from it. Many media outlets have picked up the story, and publicizing Role Models Not Runway Models has been a great way to spread body positivity, which the campaign promotes.
At its debut in last year’s New York Fashion Week, Role Models Not Runway Models included trans-gender women. But even though other shows in this year’s fashion week featured transgender models like Hari Nef and Geena Rocero, Hammer didn’t include any. But now is not the time for Hammer to stop casting transgender models. With rising controversy over LGBT rights dominating politics and media, we
need activism now more than ever before. By promoting influential transgender women in such a high-profile way, Hammer’s cam-paign can help to end transphobia.
Role Models Not Runway Models has been effective in promoting body positivity in the fashion world, and including more transgender women will only further Hammer’s message. But unconventional models shouldn’t be limited to a special show. Hammer has started a movement, and now it’s up to the rest of the fashion industry to follow. Role Models Not Runway Models is just the first step toward reshaping fashion and modeling into more ethical industries as a whole.

adjunct faculty face a certain set of common conditions,” Purser said. “The first is egregiously low pay, the second is a lack of benefits and the third is a lack in job security.”
She noted that nationally, adjuncts only make around $2,700 per class taught.
The root of the problem, she said, is that adjuncts only get paid for the time they are actually teaching in the classroom, not for the many additional hours, like office hours, that they spend working.
Matt Huber, a geography professor and member of the Labor Studies Working Group, spoke at the meeting about the conditions and
specificities that adjunct professors encoun-ter at SU.
At SU, 32 percent of instructors are part-time, non-tenure track employees. In the Col-lege of Arts and Sciences, which employs more adjuncts than any other school on campus, adjuncts make around $3,621 per class taught, which is higher than the national average but still extremely low, said Huber.
Laurel Morton, the president of Adjuncts United, a union representing adjuncts on campus, spoke third. She expounded on the role and importance of having an organized union on campus that represents a collective voice to negotiate with the administration.
“Because there is a union on this campus, we have an avenue to voice our concerns and
to make a statement,” Morton said. “Union activity on this campus has made a huge dif-ference for part-time faculty here.”
Heather Clemens, a labor relations special-
ist that works with Adjuncts United, a group that represents SU’s part-time teachers, spoke about the legal specifics that preclude adjuncts
from receiving a minimum wage and other benefits like medical leave and health insur-ance.
“Adjuncts are exempted from a federal law called the Fair Labor Standards Act,” Clemens said. “They don’t have to be paid minimum wage.”
During the meeting, Eileen Schell, an associ-ate professor of writing and rhetoric and a mem-ber of the Labor Studies Working Group, added another dimension to the conversation: gender.
She said that most adjuncts are women, and in order to improve the conditions that adjuncts work in, the structural impediments that women in academia face also need to be addressed.
potential freezing of pipes and other equip-
ment, Prior said. The temperature in academic and residential
buildings is regulated differently. However, all buildings are controlled by automated systems
that monitor and control inside temperatures. Nonresidential buildings maintain a
temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit while occupied and 60 degrees while unoccupied. However, when it’s extremely cold outside, like recently, the buildings all lock into occu-
pied temperatures to ensure warmth, said Tim Sweet, director of SU Energy Systems and
Sustainability Management.Sweet said that some areas of campus, like
the Steam Station, take other precautions; they may keep an extra boiler on standby to ensure a quicker response in case of equip-ment failure.
“Typically, we maintain the buildings at a slightly lower unoccupied temperature during off-hours, but in extreme events such as this it actually takes more energy to warm a building up after being unoccupied than it does to maintain an occupied temperature,” said Prior.
These appropriate thermostat measures are taken to always ensure a safe and warm envi-ronment for everyone on campus, as well as proper building infrastructure maintenance.
“As the university does an excellent job managing its energy supply-side through contracts with its suppliers, I would not say that the university loses money during times of bitter cold,” Prior said.

“Kal has been an outstanding asset in the university’s efforts to break down silos, enhance cross-disciplinary collaboration and ensure that the people who make this

The projects Alston will continue to assist Liddy with include some issues relating to faculty promotion and tenure, according to the release. In addition, Alston will retain the faculty and staff wellness portfolio despite stepping down.
“I am looking forward to tackling a few projects that have been simmering on the back burner, developing some new courses and working with my colleagues in new capacities,” Alston said in the release.

The event will end with the lighting of candles, remembrance and a general prayer.
SA President Boris Gresely announced Wednesday plans for the vigil in a cam-pus-wide email.
Alejandra Avina, SA director of student engagement and a senior political science and anthropology dual major, said the idea for the vigil came from her friend Rahimon Nasa, who wanted to bring awareness of the stu-dent deaths. Hendricks held a silent reflection
on Feb. 11, but Avina and Nasa wanted to go beyond that.
“We wanted an engaging, testimonial event
with educational discussions,” Avina said. “It’s crucial that the Muslim American students on
this campus feel safe and heard. We have to ask why this happened and have a conversation about that.”
Avina said that she hopes the vigil will help students become aware of the violence that other students may be enduring because of the various identities they encompass.
“This is an opportunity to pay respect to those identities,” Avina said.
Avina reached out to the MSA and Hen-dricks to collaboratively plan the event.
Russell, an MSA adviser, said he encour-ages students to attend the event and stand in solidarity for the students who lost their lives.
“(The vigil) is meant to bring awareness to a reoccurring situation of hate and intolerance,” Russell said. “It will shed a little light on the impor-tance of justice, equality and inclusiveness.”
Russell said he hopes Thursday night’s events will be an opportunity for Muslim and non-Muslim students to find common ground.
“I hope students who attend the vigil will take away an understanding that, as Muslim Americans, though we may have a different code of conduct, we lead the same lives as anyone else,” Russell said. “We’re the same people.”

As part of a new inclusive language pro-gram, the University of Michigan has adopted a campaign spreading awareness
about language that could be deemed as harmful. The campaign, which arrived on the
Michigan campus last fall, originated as an outgrowth of a group on campus known as Expect Respect, which has been a long-stand-ing group at the university and embraces the concept that people must give respect to earn respect, said Rick Fitzgerald, the director of public affairs and internal communications at the University of Michigan. The school invested $16,000 in the campaign.
Along with other student groups advo-cating for inclusion, the inclusive language campaign was born on campus and officially launched through a series of posters and edu-
cational groups to inform people of the dan-gers of using potentially harmful language in their daily lingo, Fitzgerald said.
The mission of the inclusive language cam-paign is to spread awareness and make people conscious of their word choice decisions and how they may affect other people, according to the campaign’s webpage on the University of Michigan’s student life website.
The campaign targets several areas where terms used without thought may cause nega-tive reactions. Words such as “gay,” “retarded” or “illegal aliens,” as well as phrases including “I want to die” or “That test raped me,” can be offensive or harmful to certain groups of people, and the inclusive language campaign encourages people to think before they use them, according to an information brochure given out on campus as part of the campaign.
Along with information materials being displayed and distributed around campus, stu-
dents have also been asked to sign a pledge to show their support of the inclusivity of language being used by the student body and faculty on campus as a part of the $16,000 campaign.
Some of the money was used to print ban-ners and host a kickoff event to inform stu-dents, according to a Feb. 11 Mlive.com article.
The campaign addresses the issue of lan-guage and the way in which each person with their own unique background could interpret certain words differently, Fitzgerald said.
The University of Michigan is made up of students representing all 50 states and 120 different countries, and each individual’s per-sonal background is reflected in the way that mainstreamed terms and potentially harmful words could have an affect on the way they react emotionally to a term used by another person, Fitzgerald said.
While the campaign was launched last semester, it is an ongoing effort as new stu-
dents arrive each fall, Fitzgerald said. It is important to keep new students informed and educated.
Across campus, the general reaction to the movement has been generally positive from students, staff and faculty, Fitzgerald said.
The inclusive language campaign also took to social media, and the program’s Facebook page shares information, photos, links and other materials to better inform its more than 400 followers on the importance of thinking before you speak.
The campaign also consists of events throughout the semester, including the Your Stories Matter Event, which aim to help edu-cate and to get people involved in the cam-paign. Ultimately, Fitzgerald said, the goal of the initiative is to heighten awareness of the importance of being inclusive in the daily language being used around the campus.

@downtownSYRFun Fact to Chew On: Five of this year’s 27 participating Renzi #DiningWeekSYR restaurants were part of Syracuse’s first Dining Week in 2005
By Georgie Silvaroleasst. copy editor
Klementia Dymyd was overlooking Kiev’s Independence Square from a nearby roof-top when three bullets barely missed her,
hitting the metal roof she was standing on instead.“Some person tried to shoot me when I was taking
pictures from the roof, but there was a strong wind and I think that’s why he didn’t hit me,” said Dymyd, a 21-year-old student from Lviv, Ukraine. “Like three times he tried.”
Dymyd was attending the Ivan Franko National Uni-versity of Lviv when she quit school to travel to Kiev and
participate in EuroMaidan, a three month-long protest during the Ukrainian “Revolution of Dignity” that left 90 people dead. Exactly one year ago, Dymyd use her iPhone to document the nightmarish death and destruction that evolved in Ukraine as a result of tensions with the pro-Russian government. Those images are now on exhibit at Light Work, a local nonprofit photography organization.
“Last year, it was real hard times for Ukraine because our president wanted to destroy Ukraine by signing some agreement with Russia,” Dymyd explained, referring to the Eurasian Customs Union’s attempt to prolong Russian control over Ukraine.
• • •Dymyd, who goes by Clem, was brought to Syra-
cuse University as a visiting artist in mid-January on behalf of area professors Lida and Mišo Suchý, the Department of Transmedia, Light Work, the Slutzker Center for International Services and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, said Mišo, a transmedia professor in the College of Visual and Performing Arts.
A handful of Dymyd’s photos are currently on display at Light Work, located within the Robert B. Menschel Media Center, at the rear of Watson
Hall. A video story she created, “iStory,” has also been uploaded to video-sharing website Vimeo.
When Lida was in Ukraine as a Fulbright scholar and artist last summer, she was shown Dymyd’s photos from EuroMaidan while visiting with Dymyd’s family in Lviv. Because of Lida and Mišo’s connection to Light Work as former art-ists-in-residence and art media educators, they were able to suggest a pop-up exhibition with the
humor
Columnist ‘hosts’ The Oscars
I’ve got exciting news. Neil Patrick Harris has dropped out of hosting the Academy
Awards this Sunday because he’s busy filming “How I Met Your Grand-Niece,” and I’ve been
chosen to replace him. All I had to do was meet two qual-ifications: have exces-sive gas and take 15 min-utes to tie
my tie. But because my loyal fan has endured so much, I’m going to give him a sneak peek — the opening monologue:
Welcome to the 2015 Academy Awards. I’m your host, Danny Cuneo, along with my co-host Weird Al Yankovic. It’s been a great year in movies with such an eclec-tic mix to choose from. There was a game about imitation, a theory about everything and even a movie about a fox who catches. Did I men-tion I haven’t seen any of these?
We had a movie about bas-ketball icon and homeless Santa Claus impersonator Chris “Bird-man” Andersen, a movie about boyhood that lasts almost as long as puberty and a movie about war that made enough money to justify an invasion of Iraq.
Incredible actors headline another year at the Oscars — Meryl Streep is here. There are only two things I know in this world — that I can’t dunk, and that Meryl Streep is going to get an Academy Award nomination every single year. You couldn’t have a higher approval rating if you saved a litter of drowning puppies. But please Meryl, if you see puppies drowning, save them.
Patricia Arquette is here. She was nominated for her role as a mom in “Boyhood,” which has mothers around the country asking, “Where’s my award?” Marion Cotillard is here as well, and thank goodness she is. For five years, I thought she was trapped in Leonardo DiCaprio’s imagination, but seeing her in person confirms she’s not in limbo.

community darkroom.“I saw her work and I knew it was something
incredible,” said Lida, an adjunct instructor at Onondaga Community College. She had known Dymyd’s mother and family prior to seeing Dymyd’s photographs of EuroMaidan.
In an email to Mišo about Dymyd’s story, Lida wrote: “She was right in the thick of things. I was amazed by her work. Images from above and behind the police lines, images of police and Berkut (special police forces) going after people. Images of Maidan people storming a building where police were. Lots of injured and dead Maidan people.”
• • •Dymyd said she wasn’t afraid while she was in Kiev, likely because of the constant adrenaline rush. She said she is naturally adventurous, scaling buildings and bridges in her free time.
But she is more upset looking back, having never expected to witness a tragedy of such magnitude.
“A lot of people were injured because police were using rubber bullets and a lot of gre-nades and tear gas grenades,” Dymyd said as she pointed out different images from Euro-Maidan. Her own photographs of smoke sur-rounding the Berkut, of bloodied protesters, of burning buildings hung in front of her in on an — otherwise blank — wall inside Light Work.
Police would also spray water at protesters, but since it was below 10 degrees Fahren-heit, the water would freeze on their bodies, Dymyd said. Police would also burn buildings that protesters were sleeping in, and the Ber-kut surrounded protesters so that the injured couldn’t reach hospitals.
“People were trying to use bicycle helmets and ski helmets but really it doesn’t help a lot,” Dymyd said. “But then (the police) just started to use lethal weapons — real bullets.”
On Feb. 20, 2014, after months of conflict, snipers began to shoot protesters, Dymyd said, and 90 people were killed that day.
As she recalled being shot at while she was on top of a building, Dymyd gestured to a photo of a tin roof with multiple bullet holes in it.
• • •Dymyd could only capture scenes of the revo-lution on her iPhone.
“She mentioned that she couldn’t have walked around with a (single-lens reflex) cam-era, or she would have been shot,” said John Mannion, Light Work’s master printer. Man-nion helped Dymyd edit and print her image files at Light Work’s lab facility.
Mannion said that after seeing the images Mišo and Lida brought to his attention, exhibiting Dymyd’s photos was the best way to support her.
“For us — for this place — Clem’s work is an example of the way we like to support artists,” Mannion said. “There really wasn’t a second thought to giving her space and printing her work. Clem’s pretty amazing — she’s pretty heroic.”
Dymyd has been working on her photos as a visiting artist at Light Work since her arrival last month. She’s been giving several artist talks and presentations at Light Work and around SU.
“Really, the idea was that the person at the age of our students bring the experience of young people in Ukraine,” Mišo, the transme-dia professor, said. “It is the very best when
young people talk to young people. We wanted to bring the young Ukrainian to talk with the young Americans.”
Although it’s been exhausting, Dymyd said she appreciated being able to give presentations about her experiences and the changes her country is undergoing. On Thursday, she will be presenting her images and talking about her time in Kiev from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Kittredge Auditorium in Huntington Beard Crouse Hall.
“It’s a hard thing to articulate what it is to make these prints look good,” Mannion said. “The way that one deals with that artistically is hoping that there’s a way to speak about a difficult situation.”
Violent Russian involvement in Ukraine still wages on to this day. The total brutality of the regime and the horrible situation require sacrifice from young people like Dymyd to turn despair into something that will move the country forward, Mišo said.
“I hope out of this tragedy and pain, a new Ukraine will be born,” Mišo Such? said. “It is people like her, who are honest and brave, that give me hope.”

cuneoClint Eastwood is here. Truly an American
treasure, isn’t he? Look at him — isn’t he stunning? He’s 84 years old and still producing movies that move us. He could have left movie-making and used his new gifts, but he continues to inspire us. Of course, I am talking about his ability to talk to chairs that he showed us at the 2012 Republican National Convention. Rather than become the Eliza Thornberry of human-
chair communication, he stuck with cinema and we are all better off for it.
To kick off the show, I’ve announced that I’m changing the format a little bit this year. There’s only about a handful of categories everyone really cares about, so instead of rushing everything and pushing it over the time slot and bleeding into the all-important local news, we are severely condensing tonight’s scheduled program. Best Picture, Director, Lead/Sup-porting Actor and Lead/Supporting Actress will be announced within the same time frame
of a normal show. To make up for the immense amount of time left, each winner will present an impromptu TED talk on the topic of their choosing. I, for one, am thrilled at the possibil-ity of Bradley Cooper talking about innovative bathroom technology.
But before we begin tonight, I would like to give a shoutout to the movies that were cruelly ignored by the Academy: “Blended,” “The Expendables 3” and “Transformers: Age of Extinction.” These films may live in the cellar of Rotten Tomatoes, but they will be fresh in
my heart for eternity. In my humble but always correct opinion, Michael Bay is the modern day Orson Welles; you just have to look beyond the explosions to see his genius.
And now without further adieu, here to present best actor in a leading role, the wick-edly talented Frankie Muniz.

Downtown Syracuse Dining WeeksWhen: Feb. 16–March 1How Much: $25 or less
dailyorange.com @dailyorange february 19, 2015 • PAGE 11
By Eric Chuangstaff writer
This year, the 11th Annual Downtown Syracuse Dining Weeks will run from Feb. 16 to March 1. Spearheaded by the
Downtown Committee of Syracuse and Renzi Foodservice, the event will be hosted around Armory Square.
With 27 restaurants, this year’s Dining Weeks contains the largest number of partici-pants in the event’s history.
Alice Maggiore, communications coordina-tor of the Downtown Committee of Syracuse, said she is very excited about this year’s Dining Weeks. Maggiore said the two week long event features restaurants that have agreed to offer a deal of 3-course meals for $25 or less.
“It’s really well attended, people look for-ward to this every year. We started it back in 2005, and in 11 years it has continuously grown every year,” Maggiore said.
Six of the 27 restaurants are first time par-ticipants: Bamboo House, Byblos Bar & Grill, Funk ‘n Waffles, LoFo, Maxwell’s and Modern Malt. Many of these names are familiar to SU students, and students will be able to enjoy local, high-quality restaurants at an affordable price through Dining Weeks.
Maggiore added that not only is Dining Weeks a great opportunity to try out new restaurants, but it is also a chance to explore the city and to foster an interest in staying in Syracuse after graduation.
“We’ve got literally any cuisine that you could be craving available within the center of Syracuse — Italian, Greek, Cajun, Mexican, Thai, Chinese — anything that you could possi-bly want,” Maggiore said.
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is one of five restau-rants that have participated in the Downtown Syracuse Dining Weeks since the event began in 2005.
Bob Baker, public relations and social media manager at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, said there is a good mix of diversity in the customers who join them for Dining Weeks. From young couples to Syracuse University students to older families, the Dining Weeks event caters to all age groups and demographics.
“It’s a great Syracuse event,” Baker said. “It allows us to be a part of a number of restau-
rants that (customers) can choose from. It’s great to have all these restaurants offer a wide selection of food so folks can choose where to go. It’s great being a part of it.”
In 2009, Dining Weeks was extended to two weeks instead of one due to its success.
“It’s an excellent time for people who have not gotten a chance to try out the new restau-rants to sample them or come back to their old favorites,” Maggiore said. In 2014, Dining Weeks was extended all the way into March for the first time.
Maggiore also said the event draws people from all around Onondaga County as well as visitors from Madison, Oneida and Cayuga counties. She added that some restaurants have reported an increase in business during the two weeks.
The event encourages students and the pub-
lic to venture out into downtown Syracuse and check out restaurants they have not yet eaten at. Despite the extreme cold weather, Maggiore said the Downtown Committee of Syracuse hopes to utilize this event to provoke interest in the participating restaurants.
“February, the cold mid-winter, isn’t always
the best for restaurants. People might not be willing to leave their houses because it’s cold and snowy,” she said. “When we started Dining Week in 2005, our goal was to change that, to bring more people in to recharge the restaurant busi-ness. We’ve seen that be achieved every year.”

And on the other end, he anchored an SU defense that cut down the Cardinals’ shooting percentage by nearly 20 percent after halftime, which helped transform the Orange’s possibility of an upset into reality.
“He finished everything down there,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “He was spectacular in the low post … Tonight was his best, I thought, this year.”
After a 4-for-4 start from the floor and his beginning to an exemplary night at the free-throw line, Christmas had 11 points by halftime.
Harrell — his counterpart who came in averaging 15.4 points and 9.3 rebounds per game — had 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting in the first half. Even without suspended point guard Chris Jones, the Cardinals had shot 53.8 percent from the floor and their big man was off to a better start than Okafor was on Sat-urday. And he finished with 23 points and 13 rebounds, while Christmas shot just 5-for-17.
“He shrugged it off. He knew we had more games,” Gbinije said of Saturday’s loss to Duke. “His whole season’s not based off of that game.”
With 13 minutes left, Christmas took back the control that we haven’t seen him command in a week and a half.
The patented baby hook brought Syracuse within one. Two free throws put SU ahead. The next two baskets were pure athleticism.
From the corner, Christmas took on China-nu Onuaku into the lane, absorbed contact as he floated in the air and drained the shot and the ensuing foul shot, without much reaction.
And 30 seconds later, he was gliding toward the rim on the break and softly slam-ming in two more points to stir the crowd — but not with the usual arm raise he’s used to celebrate his dunks.
When his run was over, he had accounted for 14 of SU’s 18 points and replaced a three-point deficit with a 58-52 lead with 5:07 left.
“He was back to being Rak tonight,” Cooney said. “Just to get out there and be himself and finish the shots that he can, I thought he was unbelievable. Offensively and defensively, he changed the game.”
And when Christmas pulled down a rebound with SU up by eight in the final 40 seconds and began walking toward the foul line, the standing ovation that developed felt intended for him just as much as it applauded the signature win he was nailing down.
Instead of salvaging his numbers with meaningless dunks and making the disap-pointing walk through the tunnel like he did Saturday, Christmas was energizing a rowdy Carrier Dome crowd with his arms and nodding his head as the final seconds ticked away. Instead of submerging into a cushioned chair in the SU locker room and muttering his answers to reporters quieter than usual, Christmas stood — and even incited laughter.
Yet despite Christmas’ career night, the consensus of postgame chatter was that defense was in fact the reason for the Orange’s defining victory. Boeheim said defense was the difference. Cooney said the game was more about defense than offense.
Christmas wasn’t dominating the discus-sion — and that’s just fine with him.

Ford uses fearlessness to provide consistency off SU benchBy Paul Schwedelsonasst. copy editor
Moments before each game, Syracuse forward Taylor Ford lifts her hand near her mouth and twirls it circularly, imitating the motion of eating food with silverware.
It’s a signal to her teammates to “eat up” the other team and be more forceful than the opponent — the foun-dation of Ford’s style.
Teammates praise the variety of skills Ford brings to the Orange — which includes offen-sive rebounding, forcing turnovers and mak-ing crunch-time 3-pointers — and nearly all of them come back to her fearlessness.
“She’s usually the more aggressive person because that’s just her nature to be aggres-sive,” senior Diamond Henderson said. “… She’s a really emotional player, an emotional person. I like that about her because I know her heart is always in it.”
The No. 25 Orange (18-8, 8-5 Atlantic Coast) will take on Boston College (12-13, 4-8) in the Carrier Dome at 7 p.m. on Thursday. The first time they played, Syracuse won by 18 and Ford torched the Eagles for a season-high 15 points in one of her best games of the season.
Though Ford, a junior, has never started in three years for SU, her role as a spark plug off the bench is an important one. She’s third on the Orange in rebounding and fourth in made 3s while averaging just 21 minutes per game. But what Ford also provides can’t be found on the stat sheet.
“That’s why I bring her off the bench, because I know she can come in and contrib-ute right away,” Syracuse head coach Quentin
Hillsman said. “For us, that role is huge.”She’s listed on the Syracuse roster as a for-
ward, but she also stretches the floor. Ford provides a much faster, more dynamic option in the full-court press than starter Isabella Slim, who has totaled less than half as many rebounds as Ford.
In the Orange’s biggest win of the season, over then-No. 13 North Carolina, Ford hit a 3-pointer to give SU a 49-42 lead with just over
seven minutes to play. And after UNC came back and temporarily took the lead, she hit another from downtown to extend the Syra-cuse lead to seven with two minutes left.
“I was feeling it,” Ford said. “… I felt like it was going in. I guess when you just have an instinct of ‘this is a big game,’ you need to do whatever you can to win, just do it.”
She said the game against the Tar Heels wasn’t a confidence-booster, because she always has that mindset.
“She basically stretches a dimension of our team when she’s in the game,” Henderson said.
In high school, Ford played with cur-rent teammate Brianna Butler at Nazareth Regional (New York) High School and Butler said Ford always played in critical moments.
Early in her Syracuse career, Ford had to adjust to her role on the bench, but has come to embrace it.
While Butler discussed Ford’s “eat up” man-tra, the first thing she said was, “That’s Taylor.”
And now that Ford is earning the right to play at the end of games, she’s proving that she’s
worthy of having that role with the Orange.“In those games, it just reminded me of
playing in high school how she was just able to make those big plays and just play like herself,” Butler said. “… I just think everyone’s starting to get a glimpse of the true Taylor now.”

TAYLOR FORD has been a force for SU this season coming off the bench, with the third most rebounds on the team and fourth most 3s. She’s earned the trust of head coach Quentin Hillsman and a spot on the floor late in games. larry e. reid jr staff photographer

That’s why I bring her off the bench, because I know she can come in and contribute right away. For us, that role is huge.

7 p.m. on Sunday in the Carrier Dome.“A lot of teams have been really worried
about our attack,” SU head coach John Desko said. “It’s a good first (midfield) group and the way teams have been playing us, it’s great for them to produce.”
In the second quarter against Cornell on Sunday, Big Red defenders Matt Schattner and Tim LaBeau tracked Staats as he ran behind the right side of the net with the ball.
An unmarked Galasso sprinted down the middle of the field from the 40-yard line, Staats fired him a pass from behind the net and Galasso backhanded the ball into the
top-left corner while Schattner was slow to slide over.
“When they’re zoning in more on attack, that’s more of a game situation where like, all right, we know they’re not coming to us,” Schoonmaker said. “So we can go take a dodge and shoot right away because there’s no slide coming.”
In 2014, the trio of Schoonmaker, Lecky and Galasso combined for 42 goals and nine assists while not always being on the field at the same time. Now that the three fifth-year seniors are on the same unit, the experience and opportunity to attack are paying dividends.
Lecky, who had four assists in his first three years, has that many through two games to go along with four goals. Galasso already has five tallies
through two contests after scoring 13 goals all of last season. And while Schoonmaker has gotten off to a slower start on the offensive end, Desko said he’ll start rounding into form.
“Obviously based off of last year, teams are putting more emphasis on our attack,” Rice said. “With the midfielders playing the way they are, teams are going to have to stop doing that or they’re just going to keep making them pay for it.”
Rice said he expects Army to play a zone
defense and try and slow down the game similar to how Bryant did against the Orange in the first round of last year’s NCAA tournament.
But the Black Knights also have the ability to speed a game up, as Schoonmaker noted. They showed that in an 18-17 loss — only the second game they allowed double-digit goals — to Notre Dame last year.
Regardless of what is thrown at Syracuse on Sunday, though, it now boasts a multi-dimen-sional offense that doesn’t drop off even if its primary options are contained.
“We kind of have to put that on ourselves to attack the goal a little bit more and make them respect us a little bit more,” Schoonmaker said. “They’re kind of forcing us to do that.”

into the Cardinals zone, he passed up an open f loater for an even better look. With his eyes on the rim and Louisville’s foul-trou-bled big men shying away from the play, Gbi-nije lofted a pass to Roberson who finished the alley-oop with a ferocious two-handed dunk that gave SU an eight-point lead with 4:32 to play.
Gbinije streaked down the sideline, a smile on his face and his right hand pointing
to the Dome ceiling. And after five made free throws brought the game to a finish, his smile grew a little wider as he bounced to the Syracuse bench.
He asked for more noise by pumping both of his arms into the air. He ran into a sea of high-fives. He did a half spin in place to watch 26,160 fans rise to their feet in appreciation.
It’s at the point of Syracuse’s season where few things can be expected. Boeheim called Cooney’s 1-for-10 performance the worst of his college career, a number of players cycle in and out at the point guard and power forward
spots every game and even Christmas had two
down performances before breaking out for 29 points on Wednesday.
Yet Gbinije’s been a model of consistency. His play’s gotten better as the competition’s stiff-ened. He had 16 points in a loss to No. 13 North Carolina, 23 in a loss to Pittsburgh and 27 in a loss to No. 4 Duke On Saturday.
He’s been effective, efficient and most importantly empty-handed against the confer-ence’s best teams.
But not this time around. “Mike’s playing great right now,” Boeheim
said. “I don’t think you can ask anyone to play better than this kid is playing.”

SYRACUSE
Syracuse picked up its biggest win of the season on Wednesday night, a 10-point triumph over No. 12 Lou-isville. Tyler Roberson, Rakeem Christmas and Trevor Cooney were three of the main talking points in the Orange’s 69-59 upset victory.

The senior forward tallied 29 points on 9-of-10 shooting, just a game after connecting on 5-of-17 against Duke. He became the go-to option for Syracuse against the Cardinals, who did a good job closing off SU’s perimeter shooting.

Despite Syracuse’s win, Trevor Cooney continued his rough stretch of play. He finished just 1-of-10 from the field, which included a missed layup and eight more from behind the arc. Against Duke, he was 4-of-14 and just 4-of-11 versus Bos-ton College three days prior.

Gbinije contributes on both ends of floor in upset win over Louisville
PLAYING HIS CARDS
By Jesse Doughertystaff writer
Louisville was taking just seconds to turn Syracuse misses into fastbreak lay-
ups, and Michael Gbinije finally had enough.
Six minutes after SU head coach Jim Boeheim gave Gbinije an earful in a timeout with 13:11 left, Car-dinals guard Terry Rozier ran a streak route down the middle of the court and was all alone heading toward the rim.
But Gbinije sprinted from half court, leapt into the air and punched Rozier’s layup attempt off the back-board, leaving Rozier hanging on the rim without the ball.
“On the previous fastbreak, Rozier laid it up on me and I didn’t foul him or anything,” Gbinije said. “Coach pretty much said, ‘We don’t give up open layups, foul him to try and block it.’
“So the next one I went up and tried to block it.”
Syracuse’s (17-9, 8-5 Atlantic Coast) 69-59 win over No. 12 Lou-isville (20-6, 8-5) was a game of adjustments for the Orange, and Gbinije was at the center of every one of them. The junior forward helped mitigate the Cardinals fastbreak, shot around the visi-tors’ match-up zone in the first half, facilitated the ball to Rakeem Christmas for the entire second half and then hit 5-of-6 free throws to help seal the game down the stretch.
On a night when Christmas dom-inated but Trevor Cooney scored just three points, Gbinije scored 18 points, collected six assists and grabbed five rebounds while playing all 40 minutes. He’s averaged 20.5 points in SU’s last six games, and another measured performance was key in the Orange’s first win over a ranked team this season.
“(Gbinije) played really well,” SU forward Tyler Roberson said. “He was making his shots, he was
attacking, he played good defense. He played a good game overall.”
After stuffing Rozier, Gbinije euro-stepped his way into the lane and hit a floater that triggered a Louisville timeout. The shot gave Syracuse a 22-21 lead with 7:31 left
in the first half, and an SU assis-tant coach sprung off the bench to embrace Gbinije for his play on both ends.
Gbinije managed to score 10 first-half points — thanks in part to two 3s— on Louisville’s match-up 2-3 zone, but the quick-sliding defense eliminated his driving lanes. The Orange tried using ball screens to create paths to the rim, but Louis-ville was quick to switch and keep Gbinije on the perimeter.
So in the second half, Gbinije tucked away his driving instincts and continually fed Christmas from the wings. Christmas tallied 18 second-half points as Gbinije took just three shots, one of which was a made 3.
“The hot hand was definitely Rak,” Gbinije said of his approach to the second half. “I just wanted to get him as many touches I could.”
When Gbinije was able to get

Henry Schoonmaker said his eyes light up when he sees the opportunity.
“Definitely in the game you get pretty excited,” Schoonmaker said. “You’re like, ‘Oh, awesome, they’re not coming to us so I can take it down
the alley and shoot.’”
W h a t ’ s c a t c h i n g his eye is an opening for him and
the other first-line midfielders to attack, one that wasn’t always pres-ent last year.
A fter starting attacks Kevin Rice, Randy Staats and Dylan Donahue ran the offense in 2014, opposing defenses this year have already shifted more of their focus to them rather than Schoonmaker, Hakeem Lecky and Nicky Galasso in the midfield. It ’s allowed the unit to produce more offensively, as Lecky and Galasso are already on pace to eclipse their point totals from last year in just five games this season.
SU’s next opponent, Army, boasted the nation’s top defense in 2014, one that allowed a Division I-low 101 goals. Schoonmaker said the Black Knights have the ability to slow down a game or speed it up, but that his unit will continue to produce if No. 15 Army (3-0) hones in on the No. 3 Orange’s (2-0) attack at
men’s lacrosse
