In order for the Syracuse Univer-sity student body to heal following the closing of the Advocacy Center, there must be a sense of community established in the Counseling Cen-ter and campuswide.
This was a strong sentiment expressed by groups of faculty, stu-dents and some members of Chan-cellor Kent Syverud’s Workgroup on Sexual Violence Prevention, Edu-cation and Advocacy at a listening meeting Monday afternoon.
The meeting was held in the Schine Student Center and involved small group discussions on areas such as issues and concerns about sexual vio-lence services on campus, gaps in ser-vices and campus culture in relation to sexual and relationship violence. Graduate students from the Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration helped lead the six groups by taking notes on ideas and then sharing them when the groups reconvened. Only a handful of
undergraduate students were in atten-dance at Monday’s meeting.
The Advocacy Center was designed to welcome victims of sexual and rela-tionship violence because it allowed students to interact with counselors on a more casual basis, said Vicky Wang, a member of the chancellor’s work group and a graduate student in the earth science program.
But the Counseling Center is not designed to be welcoming. It requires students to go through many formal-ities to speak with a counselor, such as scheduling an appointment, and the waiting room doesn’t encourage connection between people, she said.
“It’s not very welcoming for peo-ple to drop in, whereas the Advo-cacy Center space was deliberately arranged to be welcoming,” Wang said. “I think that’s very important.”
Victims of sexual and relationship violence may also hesitate to use the Counseling Center because of its loca-tion. During the campus culture dis-cussion, one group expressed concern over the center’s location on Walnut

Every day, Syracuse University students express their innova-tion and creativity in different ways. Ryan Pierson and Sally Zheng decided to express theirs in a park bench.
Pierson and Zheng, both fourth-year industrial and interaction design majors, were selected as one of the 13 individual or group final-ists for SU’s Fast Forward com-petition because of their project, Park Bar, a modified bench.
“People love to work outside when the weather is nice but sitting on the ground with your laptop, or on a bench with it on your lap is just not as comfortable or productive,” Pierson said in an email. “If you are looking to enjoy a lunch or coffee break outside, the same issues apply.”
As a solution, Pierson and Zheng introduced their Park Bar bench design for the SU campus in order to compensate for lack of seating on the Quad. Park Bar, a combined seating and table unit,

Stephen Brucker’s tattoos all have one common theme: the importance of family.
Brucker, a senior international relations major, grew up with two deaf older brothers and knew sign language before he could talk. His mother, oddly enough, taught at a deaf school before she had deaf children. After the birth of his sons, his father took night class-es to learn American Sign Language.
“When I was a little kid, I didn’t know what being deaf meant. I just knew that I had to talk to them dif-ferently than I would talk to my par-ents,” Brucker said.
The tattoo on the left side of his chest is “I love you” in American Sign Language, and it includes the names of his brothers, mother and father. The tattoo also has a red infinity sign to represent the idea that love is everlasting.
Brucker said growing up with two deaf older brothers was di� cult at times.
“The simplest things, like going through a drive-thru, were di� cult for them unless I was with them,” he said.
“But they kind of started building on their own and helping each other out.”
His brothers Daniel and Chris-topher, now 27 and 29 respective-ly, live independently. Both men decided against getting cochlear implants, devices that are surgical-ly implanted into the ear and can provide a sense of sound. Brucker said his brothers feel that they were made this way for a reason.
Brucker also has a tattoo on his right bicep and shoulder, which includes the quote “The Love of a Family is Life’s Greatest Blessing,” dog tags with his grandfather’s ini-tials and an American fl ag.
This tattoo honors his uncle who died in 2001 after being shot outside of his home. But the American fl ag is representative of Brucker’s love for the country, as he is part of the Syracuse University Army ROTC program. After 9/11, he said he knew he wanted to be in the army.
Brucker said his tattoos are a nice way to represent his passions in life — and most importantly, his family.
Said Brucker: “We’re always there for each other.”

About 20 students walked and ran around the Syracuse University cam-pus dressed as ketchup bottles, balleri-nas and sumo wrestlers on Monday to motivate the community to get active.
The Department of Recreation Services held its fourth annual “Run Scared” fun run/walk on the Quad on Monday. Students were encour-aged to don their best costumes, and come run SU’s Healthy Mile campus
loop with their friends. The event was part of Walktober, a
Syracuse University Healthy Monday initiative aimed at promoting an active lifestyle for both students and faculty. More than 450 participants registered to take part in this year’s Walktober program, pledging to count their steps during the month of October. “Run Scared” was one of the month’s final events, and drew about 20 people.
Joseph Lore, director of Rec-reation Services, said this year’s Walktober month has been the most
successful one yet.“We’ve had such a big turnout,” Lore
said. “And this year it’s just gotten even bigger and more popular. There’s more awareness about walking and the ben-efits of walking, so we’re really excited.”
To promote the race, Recreation Services displayed two banners, pro-vided about 300 table tent inserts in the dining halls and posted the event on its Facebook page, Lore said. Despite the advertising efforts, only half as many people showed up for this year’s Hal-loween-themed fun run compared to
the 40 participants from last year.Emily Mason, a senior in the Mar-
tin J. Whitman School of Manage-ment, who came dressed as a bottle of ketchup, thought positively of the Walktober initiative and was excited to take part in Monday’s race.
“I think it’s awesome, keeping people active,” Mason said. “I know it’s difficult to actually have motiva-tion to go to the gym or run, but this makes it a more fun way to do that.”

Student Association President Boris Gresely encouraged assem-bly members to learn about what various SA committees have planned for this semester during Monday’s assembly meeting.
“If people ask you, ‘What’s SA doing?’ I want you to be able to answer,” he said.
Many SA members learned exactly that during the course of SA’s meeting on Monday night in Maxwell Auditorium. During the meeting, assembly members gave presentations about alcohol safety and raising awareness for sexual assault advocacy, Gresely dis-cussed SA committee initiatives and Parliamentarian Stephen Thomas announced a bill that will change the way SA operates.

The town of DeWitt approved Weg-mans to sell beer and wine in its food court, Market Cafe, which will also be doubling in size.
Wegmans’ food service opera-tions has increasingly developed over the past 20 years and it contin-ues to improve its offerings in order to remain competitive, said Evelyn Carter, director of community rela-tions at Wegmans Food Markets.
“Approval of our application by the town of DeWitt will allow us the opportunity to explore some of our various food service concepts where we are able to serve wine and beer in our cafe as a complement to a meal,” Carter said. “We now have the ability to apply these food concepts at our DeWitt location, an option we believe our customers will appreciate.”
Although Wegmans has received approval from the town of DeWitt, it still needs to apply to the New York State Liquor Authority for a license,
according to an Oct. 22 syracuse.com article.
Syracuse University students that are fans of Wegmans appear to like the idea of expanding and serving liquor in the Wegmans food court.
Jacqueline Soldano, a senior advertising major, said she’s been a huge fan of Wegmans ever since a store was built near her hometown.
“It’s the best grocery store I’ve ever been to. So I’m happy they’re doubling in size,” she said. “I think it’s great they’re serving liquor.”
Professors at SU also seem to think this is a great move on Weg-mans’ part. The opening of Trader Joe’s in Syracuse a few weeks ago has put pressure on Wegmans to make itself stand out from the competi-tion, said Adam Peruta, an advertis-ing professor in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
“Wine and beer sales are a way for Wegmans to differentiate themselves from the competition and make the store more of a destination,” he said.

Policy changEs
Parliamentarian Stephen Thomas announced that the Administrative Operations committee is currently rewriting policies that describe how SA is run. If the bill is passed, SA meetings will focus more on policy, Thomas said, and new subsidiary branches within individual colleges of SU will deal with other issues.

RACHEL POTTER50 SHADES OF BLUE
Last week, former President Bill Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden cam-paigned for Rep. Dan Maffei (D-NY) at
rallies hosted at Syracuse Hancock Internation-al Airport. House Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy have made appearances on behalf of John Katko, Maf-fei’s challenger who is a former federal prosecu-tor from Camillus. This contested congressional seat has turned the nation to look at our district.
On Friday, Clinton encouraged rally attend-ees to get out to vote and praised Maffei for his commitment to his job and to the middle class. Clinton’s endorsement of the campaign undoubtedly is influential, but the flaws in
Katko’s platform should make Maffei the obvi-ous choice for Democrats and moderates.
Maffei’s campaign is realistic and address-es the needs of the district. Katko’s head is up in the clouds and fails to propose realistic solutions to the issues at hand. On the sur-face, Katko has appeal and seems to address some of the key issues. But he lacks a concrete plan to fulfill his campaign promises.
The 24th congressional district, rated by RealClearPolitics.com to lean left, is current-ly a heated electoral battleground as the Nov. 4 election day approaches. Incumbent Maffei currently has an 8 point lead over Katko.
Katko’s campaign is strategic, but is partially out of touch with the goals of Repub-lican leadership in Washington. He claims that he will work against partisan bickering, reform the Affordable Care Act, reduce taxes on business and industry, support agricul-tural growth, create equal pay for women through creating jobs and increasing flexi-bility, support agricultural success, support free market energy and encourage the devel-opment of renewables and reduce reactionary gun control by repealing the SAFE Act.
Portions of Katko’s extensive and overly ambitious platform deviates from Republican Party lines, and does not address how he will actually live up to these promises through concrete legislative changes. Katko’s cam-paign is filled with empty promises.
For example, Katko’s plan for equal pay shows his attempts to touch on bipartisan issues in order to gain voters but he is refusing to endorse legisla-tion that will actually improve existing conditions.
It is easy to support equal pay in theory, but Katko’s theoretical plans have no backbone and seem to have no intent to actually make change. His plan is minimal, and includes increasing flexibility needs and alludes to supporting maternity leave. Katko’s attempt to toe the party line, on this issue and others, fails to provide real solu-
tions that help real Americans. The Paycheck Fairness Act that Katko
opposes holds employers accountable for jus-tifying pay differences and increases report-ing and consequences for violations. This legislation has a chance to actually address the pay gap. Katko claims to support equal pay but proposes flimsy, inadequate solutions and doesn’t support tangible legislation.
Maffei’s campaign is not perfect but sup-ports legislation that has a chance to make a real difference for central New York. He sup-ports many pieces of keynote Democratic leg-islation including universal pre-K, increased access to healthcare through the Affordable Care Act, increasing accessibility to technical and trade schools, the Paycheck Fairness Act, middle class tax relief through shifting tax burden away from the middle class and tax incentives for small business. Maffei’s cam-paign consists of realistic proposals that try to address issues faced by New Yorkers and strengthen the middle class.
The striking difference between the two con-tenders is Maffei’s realism and Katko’s fleeting campaign promises. Katko attempts to show bipartisanship, but for the most part does not endorse legislation that actually addresses the issues. While it may be an effective campaign strategy, his promises are unlikely to be ful-filled and voters should be aware of that.

OOPINION
A provocative video of young girls dressed in princess costumes and pearls drop-
ping F-bombs in frustration over gender inequality gained national attention last week. But instead of focusing on the offensiveness of the campaign, those who oppose the video should focus on solving the problem it highlights.
Critics consider the video as exploitative toward children but aren’t discussing the real problem at hand — gender inequality. But what was more angering to some was that these young girls were being coerced to curse and that it was for a for-profit T-shirt company, FCKH8.com
The company that created this marketing campaign, FCKH8.com describes itself as, “… A for-profit
T-shirt company with an activist heart and a passionate social change mission: arming thousands of people with pro-LGBT equality, anti-racism and anti-sexism T-shirts that act as ‘mini-billboards’ for change.”
In the two-and-one-half minute video, a range of girls appearing to be between the ages of six to 13 stand defiantly with fingers waving saying, “Women who graduate university with straight As get paid as much as men who only got Cs, so bad grades equal more bank.”
Most of the backlash on this video comes from people describing it as cor-
rupting beautiful little girls, like Fox News did on Oct. 22. This is precisely what the video is trying to undermine — stop calling girls beautiful and pretty and start taking them seriously.
These young girls reciting these statistics will be our future. This is what they stand up against if we don’t take action. It may be alarming to see young children, regardless of gender, cursing but sadly that is what it takes for a problem like gender inequality to be talked about. This is more of a flaw of society than this marketing campaign. If FCKH8.com didn’t have to use cursing children to get the national attention it deserves, it probably wouldn’t go to these lengths. It’s not exploitation, it’s a tool to get people to listen.
The video has done precisely what it
wanted to do — shock, anger, upset and start conversations. Depending how the video resonated, the anger was either directed toward the social injustices, the children cursing or the fact that the video is part of a for-profit campaign.
Anger over little girls swearing in a video for a for-profit company is mis-placed. The company gives one-third of the proceeds to “…Charities that are fighting everyday to make the world more equal for women and girls,” according to its website.
Even though FCKH8.com may be making money off of T-shirts, they are supplying people with a way to voice their opinion on important causes, which could evoke conversation and change. And as a business, the compa-ny needs to make profit to be able to run. This makes critics’ complaints
very weak. The problem at hand is gender inequality, not a $15 T-shirt.
FCKH8.com may be a for-profit company but at least this company is trying to take a position on gender injustices, which is more than what most companies are willing to do.
The fact that children swore and were doing it for an advertisement should not divert from the message that women still face difficulties achieving the same success as men. If we don’t work to solve this problem now, these cursing little girls will become cursing adults fighting for the same injustices.

There are more undergraduate students on The Daily Orange Editorial Board than were present at the final listening meeting on sexual assault services.
Syracuse University gave students the opportunity Monday night to discuss how the Counseling Center should be improved. After the backlash following the closure of the Advocacy Center, the absence of undergraduate students at the listening meeting is embarrassing.
Students cannot complain about a problem and then not show up to find a solution.
There were roughly 75 people who marched in the Rally for Consent on Sept. 17 to protest the changes made to the Advocacy Center. Of those 75 peo-ple, 40 went to the chancellor’s office to present him with a petition of over 8,000 signatures of people who were against the closing of the advocacy
center. The Facebook group, “The SU Advocacy Center needs your help!” has 1,474 members, as of Monday.
And yet there were only six undergraduate students present at the listening meeting.
The absence of undergraduate stu-dents at the meeting presents a differ-ent picture to the administration than the one that appeared in front of its door a little more than a month ago. It also doesn’t match up to the trending hashtag, #BringBackTheAC.
When Eve Ensler, a playwright and activist, said in a University Lec-ture on Oct. 15 that Chancellor Kent Syverud owed the campus an apology for closing the Advocacy Center, many students agreed with her on social media. But it isn’t fair to demand that the administration make changes and then not take part in that conversation when the opportunity arises.
Although the university should
have scheduled a listening meeting earlier in the semester when there was more conversation surrounding the Advocacy Center, the momen-tum behind the cause should not have deflated so quickly if it was important to students.
There has been overwhelming activism on social media and in the form of protests, but discussion with the administration is not being taken advantage of. It’s important for stu-dents to voice their opinions, but it’s more important for them to be able to discuss their concerns with the people who can make the changes.
During the Rally for Consent in mid-September, students in the crowd held signs that said, “No more decisions about us, without us.”
If students don’t show up when given the chance to provide feedback, decisions will be made without them.

Assembly member Gabe Shelton discussed information he gathered from a workgroup meeting held on Thursday about alcohol safety and statistics at SU. Students in this workgroup advocated for more Orange After Dark events as well as a student center that is open 24/7 and provides entertainment, which will create more alternatives to partying, Shelton said.
Brittany Moore, director of SA’s Student Engagement Committee, described the Chan-cellor’s Workgroup on Sexual Violence Pre-vention, Education and Advocacy’s campaigns for this semester. One of the workgroup’s goals is to educate students about the definition of consent, victim blaming, slut shaming and rape culture.
Moore said another purpose of the work-group is to “fill in the gaps and things that are still lingering from the realignment of services in the summer,” referring to the closing of Syr-
acuse University’s Advocacy Center in June.The chancellor’s workgroup intends to
promote the “Got Consent? Be SU.R.E.” and the “#notaskingforit” campaigns and bring Catharsis Productions to SU to perform its “Beat the Blame Game” presentation.
In his presidential report, Gresely expanded the conversation about focus and working groups. He described the initiatives of SA’s Academic Affairs committee, which include digitizing and publicizing syllabi and enhanc-ing the multilingual writing center. The pur-pose of publicizing syllabi is to give students an idea of a class’s curriculum and workload before they enroll, which may decrease a stu-dent’s likelihood of dropping a class.
Gresely also discussed the concept of wire-less printing via kiosks in campus buildings. By the end of the semester, Information Tech-nology and Services hopes to conduct a test run and install several kiosks that students can send documents to and have them printed, he said.

can be configured in a number of ways depend-ing on need. The units are made with sustain-ably harvested hardwood and a steel frame, and are located between Hinds Hall and Link Hall, Zheng said. There was a celebration on Thursday to mark the Park Bar’s installation.
“Each bench is handmade and reflects both the needs and character of the place it is meant for,” Zheng said in an email. “Park Bar is a space to be creative, share ideas or share a meal.”
Pierson and Zheng created Park Bar in the spring of 2013 when they competed in an inter-national design competition held by Design Museum Boston called “Street Seats.” The two students were named semi-finalists and were given a budget to create a fully functional proto-type for a nine-month outdoor public exhibition.
The two Park Bar benches outside of Hinds Hall on the Quad are the fourth and fifth benches. Each time they have been slightly mod-
ifying or updating the design to keep improving. Pierson and Zheng completed all of the
woodworking themselves, including finishing it with natural oil meant for outdoor uses.
The metal frame was made with steel from Klein Steel Service in Syracuse and was welded by Noah Hausknecht, a recent SU sculpture graduate. The metal frame was then powder coated at BBD Coaters Inc. in downtown Syracuse, said Pierson.
“For this project in particular we wanted to make sure that every step of it was connected to Syracuse, underlining the city and school’s codependent relationship,” Zheng said.
The future of Pierson Zheng Designs will likely include the creation of more Park Bars. Other plans include an expanded product line and a variety of collaborative community proj-ects, Zheng said.
“It was a lot of hard work and we are very excited to be able to share it with the whole school,” Pierson said. “It has been a long road, but we feel this is just the beginning.”

“They hope it will get customers to spend more money per visit.”
Some students said they think selling liquor in the cafe will be a great add-on to Wegmans.
Although Wegmans is already a popular and well-known grocery store, Linda Cush-man, a professor in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, said she believes this move will attract more people to the store
during different times of the day.“They have a very healthy morning and day-
time business in the cafe and this could be a way to strengthen that business into the evening and make the brand even stronger,” she said.
Katelyn Holbrook, a junior communication and rhetorical studies major, said she isn’t that excited about Wegmans serving alcohol.
“As a college student, Wegmans probably wouldn’t be my first choice for going to have a drink,” Holbrook said. “Truthfully, I don’t really feel like the sale of alcohol here is necessary.”

“I thought it was a lot of fun,” Hubbard said, “I just thought it was really good time to be able to come out in a costume, in a wardrobe like this. It was really fun, especially being surrounded in the Syracuse University environment.”
Fitbits, personal fitness monitors, were awarded as prizes to the top three finishers. Additionally, 10 trophies were distributed to the runners with the best individual costume, best group costume and judges’ choice costume.
Although there was competition involved, the event wasn’t just about being the fastest; it was about celebrating Halloween with a healthy twist.
“It’s not as much the race, it’s about getting people to dress responsibly and come out and do something just a little bit different.” Lore said. “It’s about spirit and Halloween celebration.”

HEATING UP
By Anjali Alwisstaff writer
SUNY-ESF is taking steps to improve energy efficiency, using state-of-the-art heating technology to do so.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, in conjunction with the New York Biomass Energy Alliance and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, held Bioenergy Day on the SUNY-ESF campus last Wednesday. The purpose of the event was to educate the public on cleaner, more efficient ways to heat with wood and advocate the value of sustainable forestry.
SUNY-ESF was a natural setting for the event as the objectives and practices of the college coincide well with the goals of the event, said Claire Dunn, director of commu-nications at SUNY-ESF.
Michael Kelleher, the executive director of energy and sustainability at the college, said one of the college’s goals is to become
carbon neutral in the next year. Through the use of solar panels, a small wind turbine, a green roof on Walters Hall and the combined heat and power system, the university is moving toward having no net carbon emis-sion by 2015.
“We focus on trying to help students understand the different options that will make our energy use more sustainable in the future; biomass, solar, wind, improved energy efficiency, behaviors to conserve energy,” Kelleher said.
The combined heat and power system housed within the Gateway Center on the SUNY-ESF campus is designed to use bio-mass pellets and natural gas to provide the campus with 60 percent of its heating needs and 20 percent of its electrical power. When the electricity made at a generating plant is bought, it takes about three units of natural gas to produce one unit of electricity, which means that it is only one-third as efficient, Kelleher said.
By substituting natural gas for biomass
wood pellets and using a local generating sys-tem that is smaller and more efficient, the cam-pus is able to cut the waste in half that would be typical of generating electricity and steam.
Mark Watson, who manages the envi-ronmental research program at NYSERDA, focuses on documenting the emissions per-formance of different technologies to under-stand how these technologies behave and what their emission profiles are. NYSERDA, a corporation focused on implementing energy efficient programs, then provides research and development funding to help improve those technologies, he said.
The new technologies focus on using wood as a renewable fuel and dramatically reduc-ing the air quality impact, but also using significantly less wood as it is being used more efficiently, Watson said.
Watson said there are many benefits to using wood as a fuel source. It is significantly cheaper than either heating oil or propane for houses, and it provides an opportunity to dis-place fossil fuels with renewable fuels. It has a
much smaller carbon footprint too, he added.Dunn said it is important to call attention
to these initiatives so that the public becomes aware of the importance of this issue.
“You can’t educate people or encourage them to acquire new habits if they don’t have the right information,” she said.
Watson said he believes these events should be taken advantage of as they are an opportunity for the public to learn about new fuel source options that are environmentally friendly as well as much more energy efficient and cost saving, Kelleher said.
“Oftentimes, people fall back to the default of the older, conventional technolo-gies without really taking the time to know what new technologies are out there or to realize that the new technologies are actu-ally at a point where they’re no longer consid-ered a ‘cutting-edge, emerging technology,’” Watson said. “They’re state of the art, but they’re actually available and getting into the market place right now.”

Avenue being close to fraternities and out in the open, which could make victims feel “traumatized or re-victimized.”
Discussions of community and welcoming also need to extend beyond services offered in the Counseling Center. Much of the deci-sion making for the future of sexual assault resources has been limited to an administra-tive or faculty perspective, said Keagan Kirk-Singer, a fifth-year student in the industrial and interaction design program.
The campus is also divided in how it wants to deal with the resources, she said, adding that they should be working as a community instead.
Kirk-Singer and Shelby Zink, also a fifth-year student in the industrial and interaction design program, expressed frustration that only six undergraduate students showed up to the listen-ing meeting. The turnout was in stark contrast to the group of 75 students and faculty that gath-ered for the Advocacy Center rally on Sept. 18.
Zink said the lack of attendance from undergraduate students could be due to poor advertising. Because the dialogue is domi-nated by faculty and administration, much of the advertising for the Counseling Center as well as other initiatives fell flat, she said.
Zink pointed to the Counseling Center stick-ers in bathroom stalls and the survey posted by the chancellor’s work group online as two areas that need to be better advertised to students.
Groups were given 15 minutes per each category of issues and concerns to list their thoughts on the topic. Many of the groups’ thoughts echoed one another, such as:
—Students underreporting incidences of sexual and relationship violence because they don’t have faith in the system.
—Students still don’t understand the changes.—Discrepancies between official and stu-
dent narratives.—Little knowledge of who the Sexual and
Relationship Violence Response Team is.—A lack of apology from the administra-
tion and limited involvement from Chancellor Kent Syverud.
—Keeping the Counseling Center open beyond the “typical 9–5 hours.”
—Establishing student ambassadors to cre-ate a support system for victims.
—Recognizing connections between athletic culture, fraternity culture and rape culture.
Before the meeting closed, Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz, senior vice president and dean of Student Affairs, explained where she believes the notes gathered during the meeting should be shared. The notes will be given to the chan-cellor’s work group, the Sexual and Relationship Violence Coordination Team and the communi-cations manager in the Office of Student Affairs. They should also be shared with groups working on the Campus Master Plan and the Strategic Plan Steering Committee, she said.
Chase Catalano, director of the LGBT Resource Center, also spoke about the future of the chancellor’s work group. Catalano said he is “well aware” that the group has mostly spoken with administrators so far, but that moving forward, it will focus on speaking with survivors of sexual and relationship violence.
“We need to talk to students who are survi-vors because that’s who is directly impacted by the services,” Catalano said.

Beth Baldwin is never more in demand than when she parks her car in any parking lot around central New York.
Written across the side of her black Jeep Laredo in bold, pink letters is one phrase that automatically makes the car recognizable to everyone who sees it.
“Fight like a girl.”It serves as a rallying cry for those a� ected
by breast cancer, drawing people to the car and the woman inside. Women often come up to her, many of them in tears. They’ve found a lump. Their doctor can’t get them into an oncologist for months. They don’t know what to do.
And just like that, Baldwin swings into action, calling the doctors at SUNY-Upstate Medical University to get the person in the next day. She’ll go with the woman to her chemo treatments. She comforts their families. She’s there till the end, which too often can mean a funeral.
As executive director of the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund of CNY, Baldwin is constantly on the go, planning fundraisers that have helped the organization raise more than $2 million since its founding in 2001. She sends her daughter Jacqueline Baldwin, associate director at the foundation, work-related text messages at 2 a.m. And then again at 3 and 4 a.m.
“This is the whole process of, we get to know these people who my mom met in the parking lot of Wegmans,” Jacqueline Baldwin said. “She can’t escape from anywhere — everybody knows where she is.”
October is breast cancer awareness month, which is an especially busy time for the fund and the women who run it. On Sunday, the fund held its annual “A Run for Their Life” event, a 5K and 15K run that starts at Manley Field House.
The run usually raises more than $100,000 for the charity, with much of the money going to SUNY-Upstate, which helped inspire its creation.
Carol Baldwin, Beth’s mother, founded the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund, Inc. in 1996 after she was diagnosed with and beat breast cancer in 1990. When SUNY-Upstate approached her a few years later about helping support local breast cancer research, she helped start a central New York affiliate of the main fund.
While Baldwin’s actor brothers, Alec, Daniel, Billy and Stephen, may be more recognizable on a national scale, the foundation and the women
who run it have made lasting impressions on the central New York region since the organization was founded 13 years ago. In keeping with its local ties, every dollar the foundation raises stays in central New York, where it supports research aimed at achieving the organization’s ultimate
goal: fi nding a cure for breast cancer. Much of the research the fund supports takes
place at SUNY-Upstate, which had one of the largest groups of participants at Sunday’s run. The group from Upstate represented some of

For almost 20 years, Matt Fried-man has come back to Syracuse University for the WJPZ Birthday Banquet & Reunion Weekend. Each year, Friedman and other alumni of the student-run radio station have a standing reserva-tion for brunch at Cosmos Pizza & Grill as a cap to the end of the weekend. And he looks forward to one item in particular — the toasted honey bun.
Although he will no longer be able to have the toasted honey bun at Cosmos, as the infamous restau-rant closed last May, Friedman and his fellow WJPZ alumni will not be completely at a loss — toast-ed honey buns are now available at Varsity Pizza.
Diana Hester, the manager of Var-sity Pizza, said she was aware that Cosmos had the buns on their menu and a lot of people wanted them back.
“I said, ‘Well, maybe we should try it here,’” Hester said. “Regu-lars that used to go to Cosmos said they’d love them, so we thought we’d carry on the tradition.”
Varsity’s honey buns are ordered from Brighton Bakery, the same place as Cosmos, and made in a similar fashion — they are sliced in half, buttered and stuck on the grill for a treat that is avail-able to customers for $2.
Brian Saum, a line cook at Var-sity, said the owner wanted to put the toasted honey bun on his menu because “it looked delicious.”
“It’s easy to execute, and it’s like a donut,” Saum said. “People like donuts. It’s glazed, it’s cooked — it’s

just delicious.”Friedman followed the news surrounding
Cosmos throughout the summer and said he started to realize that part of his history was changing. He said what started as a cheap, great tasting dessert soon became part of a shared experience with his friends and colleagues.
The toasted honey bun stood as a beacon
of nostalgia for his days as an undergraduate.As much as he enjoys the food at Varsi-
ty, Friedman said he’ll always miss Cosmos’ menu items such as the crinkle fries, the State Fair Cheese Steak Sandwich and, of course, the toasted honey bun. But Friedman said he’s glad one classic is here to stick around.
“If the owner of Varsity called me and said, ‘We can save one thing,’ I would’ve said the THB,” Friedman said.
Juniors Erica Bodt and Kelly Cross are
long-time customers of Varsity. They had never heard of the toasted honey bun, but said they’d both be interested in trying it.
“I think that’s a bold move for them to take it from them,” said Boldt, an English and tex-tual studies major. “But if it’s really popular, like, why not, you know? Why not keep the tradition?”
Cross, a public relations major, said she loves eating out for breakfast and she’d love to get the toasted honey bun during her next
brunch trip to Marshall Street. Since the closing of Cosmos, Friedman said
Varsity has become the standard of tradition on Marshall Street.
“A lot of alumni are really happy to have that comfort still around when we go back,” Friedman said. “The new chain places could be anywhere — it doesn’t feel like you’re in Syracuse. But when you’re in Varsity, you know where (you) are. It feels like home.”

the roughly 800 people who participated in the 5K and 15K, decked out in bright pink from head to toe. They pinned the names of the people they were running for on their shirts and donned pink ponchos and sweat-shirts as the rain continued to pour.
Besides the run, the fund also holds an annual gala in May to recognize sponsors, researchers and volunteers. They also allow women who have survived breast cancer to share their stories. Other events throughout the year include a bike ride, a tennis tourna-ment and a golf tournament.
Karin Laskowski has been volunteering with the CNY fund since its founding. She went to school with Jacqueline Baldwin and her sisters, and spent Sunday helping man the registration tent for the run. It’s her favorite event of the year.
“I just really like meeting everyone,” she said as she passed out registration packets. “I like seeing everyone run across the finish line
and everyone cheers.”Devin Butler, who volunteered at the race,
also has a personal connection to the Baldwin family. The Baldwins are her neighbors and when her mother-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011, the Baldwins helped them through the process.
Carol sent pink breast cancer blankets and Beth made time to sit and comfort the family. Butler’s mother-in-law lost her battle with breast cancer four months after being diagnosed, but Butler and her family have continued to volunteer with the fund. Butler is now a member of the fund’s auxiliary board and next year, the fund will name a grant after her mother-in-law.
Research grants like the one named after Butler’s mother-in-law help achieve the fund’s mission of finding a cure for breast cancer by sup-porting researchers as they investigate the causes, treatment and prevention of breast cancer.
And all that money and research stays in central New York, helping provide the same sense of hope people have when they see Bald-win in her “Fight like a girl” Jeep.
“To be able to have that right here in central New York and to raise that money and to keep it here is just such an amazing thing,” Jacqueline

Although he is only 20 years old, Loren-zo Cook has been making music for nearly a decade.
Cook, a junior in the Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries, has released two full albums and an EP under the stage name Spark Alaska. His music, which he describes as “bedroom pop,” is available on Bandcamp and SoundCloud. Although he has made paying for his music optional, he said some listeners still take the initiative to pay for it.
Cook started a band when he was in the seventh grade in his home of Brussels, Bel-gium. In late 2009, he started writing songs for a solo side project, Spark Alaska, but didn’t start releasing music under the moniker until January 2012. Spark Alaska allowed Cook to pursue singing for the fi rst time after he was encouraged by a bandmate, who was a classi-cally trained singer.
“I was actually really scared to sing,” Cook
said. “He kind of brought it out in me. I was probably 15 or 16. I think anybody can sing. I think they just need the confi dence and then the training to keep on doing it.”
Interested in promoting his music online, Cook’s band managed to form a MySpace fol-lowing of 16,000, which he said helped Spark Alaska gain traction online, particularly on Tumblr. After he released his fi rst solo album, “Everything You Know Is Changing But It’ll Pass” in August 2013, Spark Alaska’s following continued to grow.
Cook said his fanbase has remained loyal and that his fans have grown up with him. He recently printed shirts with the help of Adam Greenberg, a junior dual major in television, radio and film and information management and technology, which sold out after two days.
Greenberg, who runs local cassette tape label Shammy Tapes, released Spark Alaska’s latest album, “Longest Winter.” The tapes sold out after three days and were shipped to various locations in North America and Europe.
“I think (Cook’s) very dedicated, he always wants to be doing something,” Greenberg said.
“He’s always providing his fans with something new, which is important as a musician.”
Greenberg added that in the future he will likely work with Cook’s latest music venture, Petite League. A departure from the acoustic, mellow sound of Spark Alaska, Petite League is a “lo-fi punk” band that Cook formed just a month ago with SU students Henry Schoonmaker, Kevin McCallum and Malcolm Rizzuto.
Rizzuto, a senior film major, said working with Cook has been a positive experience because of his work ethic and talent as a songwriter.
“He’s such a hard worker, (and) he’s a great songwriter,” Rizzuto said. “He knows how to write a good, super catchy pop song. He also has such a good fanbase over the Internet.”
Although he said he doesn’t listen to acous-tic music anymore, Cook said he still writes it. He added that his previous band in high school had “more of an edge to it” and his new projects give him the opportunity to once again create “edgier” music.
“I feel like everyone has the need to do something more powerful in terms of music,”
Cook said. “It has a bit of a backbone, which is nice, and I’m not saying that my other music doesn’t, but it’s nice to have music that has drums in it.”
Cook is still working on Spark Alaska music, but his focus right now is Petite League. He’s currently in the process of fi lming music videos for the band.
“In terms of the music videos, it’s cool to do that because I don’t love being in front of the camera, so it’s kind of getting me out of that shell,” Cook said.
Although he’s a musician now, Cook has no interest in a career of performing music. He hopes to use the skills he learns from the Bandier Program to help bands he supports flourish, and said that he will continue to make music whether or not he makes money off of it.
“I like the fi nished product,” Cook said. “There’s nothing more satisfying to me than sitting back after you’ve been working on something for so long and just being like, ‘Wow, that’s good. I did it.’”

In a matter of moments, Donnie Mavencamp must transition from excitement to disappoint-ment and back to excitement.
As Minnesota Morris’ drives get stopped on third down, Mavencamp switches from a dis-gruntled wide receiver or quarterback to a punter ready to swing the game’s momentum.
“It’s kind of hard to be excitable punting because being an offensive player too, it means one of my jobs I’m not doing well,” Mavencamp said.
The contrast between punter and other posi-tions is experienced often in Division III football. Twelve of the top 50 punters in Division III in yards per punt are listed at a position other than punter or kicker.
It gives them a mental test that most position players don’t have to deal with. Playing multiple roles helps them realize the specifics of the sport. It challenges them to schedule their weight lift-ing around when they practice each position.
“I don’t necessarily view it as two positions,” Oberlin (Ohio) linebacker and punter Max Schenk said. “I just view it as a way that I can contribute to the team in a very influential way.”
Examining the finer aspects of punting inspired him to break down his linebacker game
more precisely, Schenk said. After understanding the nuances of punting, he studied the best way to use his hands when trying to shed blockers.
The key for Schenk in punting is consistency. Being able to repeat the more technical elements of the catch-drop-kick motion every single time is what he said makes a good punter.
Despite having been a quarterback for his entire life, Mavencamp has an appreciation for the nuances of punting.
“If you don’t drop the ball at a certain angle
or if your toe dips down or something, the ball’s going to drop faster and not go as far,” Maven-camp said.
But when Tyler Stanek plays wide receiver, he’s not thinking about punting. And while the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (California) wideout and punter’s offensive teammates trudge off
the field after a failed third-down conversion attempt, he has one final chance to end the drive with a well-executed play.
“As a receiver already staying on the field when we punt on fourth down, it keeps your mind off of messing up a punt,” Stanek said, “and you just kind of go out there and do it.”
Putting a skill-position player at punter also opens up opportunities for fakes. Stanek said C-M-S uses a fake punt about five times a season and having Stanek take the snap makes it more likely that they work.
While these players expand the team’s hori-zons, they must hone in on their practice. Finding a balance in training is something Stanek strug-gled with this summer.
“If I’m kicking that day, I have to take into account if I’m squatting that day,” Stanek said, “because it’s really hard to kick if you’re feeling sore.”
Developing skills at two positions brings extra burdens, but when multi-position punters put in the time, they compete with the best in Division III.
“Some people think you can just come in and be the punter,” Mavencamp said, “… but if you want it done well, it’s really not that simple. You got to put a lot more time into your punting than people think.”
done. It’s an easy sale at the end of it because (recruits) see the longevity of it and they see what you’ve accomplished.”
Being from Europe has its perks for Masalin, too. It’s what allowed defensive midfielder and fellow Finn Juuso Pasanen to feel comfortable with the Orange. It’s a big part of the reason Nor-wegian right winger Oyvind Alseth, who had only spoken to Masalin on the phone when he verbally committed, is in an SU uniform.
Masalin also fought off German club teams and other ACC schools to get former U-18 German national teamer Julian Buescher to come to cen-tral New York from Duelmen, Germany, which Masalin attributed to his connections.
He’s able to relate with European recruits that American coaches may not be able to in the same way. He does it not just with spoken language, but also the language of the game.
“I had no idea how the whole conference sys-tem worked,” Pasanen said. “If you’re talking to a fellow countryman, you know that you can trust them because he has the same values as you, same ideas. He’s definitely a big part in the recruitment process.”
Alseth, Pasanen and Norwegian forward Emil Ekblom all said they knew very little, if anything, about Syracuse and the American college soccer conference structure before talking to Masalin.
His goal is to create a personal connection with the recruit and then “paint the picture of what it actually means” to come play college soccer in the U.S. Masalin added that these European teenag-ers wouldn’t even know what an out-of-confer-ence game is if he didn’t put the American game into perspective.
More than a third of SU’s 28 goals this season have come from Europeans that Masalin helped bring to the team — including seven from Ekblom.
McIntyre said the work his assistant does off the recruiting trails, though, is even more important.
In practices, he shows off his technical and tactical knowledge of the game, which McIntyre says is one of the best he’s seen in the country.
Whether it’s calling out cadences for dynam-ic stretching exercises, leading small-sided games or overseeing short-distance volley drills, Masalin is in his niche in practices and game warm-ups.
“I think training is for me, something I think I’m pretty good at,” he said. “I would be in the grass fields all day long if I could just train the guys.”
But while most of his methods are heralded, not everything Masalin does away from games falls in a good light with the team.
On a 10-hour bus ride to Virginia Tech ear-lier in October, the team was forced to watch a Captain America Lego movie. With long trips to southern ACC schools littering the Orange’s
schedule, Masalin is tasked with providing the traveling entertainment and, judging by the team’s feedback, has fallen short.
Masalin, though, said his selections are “fan-tastic” and that McIntyre is just “moody.”
“He was promoted to selecting movies a couple years ago and it’s been patchy at best,” McIn-tyre said. “That and the fact he doesn’t really speak English, those are the two knocks on Coach Masalin.”
But his recruiting and tactical prowess trump his cinematic tastes, and the former is why the man who’s been by McIntyre’s side for the last seven years has been influential in bringing SU out of the depths of college soccer and to the brink of a No. 1 ranking on Tuesday.
“Even though Mac is the head coach, Jukka has a lot of responsibility and he does it well,” Alseth said. “He’s a huge, huge resource for our program.”

While earning credits to complete his grad-uation requirements, the former Syracuse goalkeeper has returned this season as a spe-cial assistant to the men’s lacrosse team. After starting 33 games for the Orange from 2012–14, Lamolinara’s aspirations to have a coaching career are now underway as he mentors SU’s goalies in anticipation of the spring season.
“I feel like now I’m a bridge between the coaches and players,” Lamolinara said. “If kids come to me with questions or need advice, I’m willing. If the coaches have questions about what’s going on with the team, I feel like they’re comfortable coming to me for that.”
Lamolinara, who finished his fourth year of eligibility last May, lost credits when he trans-ferred from Maryland before the 2012 season. He has completed his political science major, has a couple of credits remaining for his coaching minor and will be an undergraduate assistant during the spring season.
Since NCAA rules allow just three full-time coaches, Syracuse’s goalies have previously been overlooked, Lamolinara said. But now they receive his full attention during practice.
The former SU goalkeeper reports directly to Syracuse assistant coach Kevin Donahue, who said all that separates Lamolinara from being a successful full-time coach is a chance.
“He’s got a sharp eye, sees the details and has a good common sense,” Donahue said. “He’s been trained, not just by us, but he’s had good train-ing at the high school level and at Maryland. He understands how goalies get trained.”
Lamolinara has worked with high school keepers near his home in Annapolis, Maryland, and worked as a counselor at LB3 Lacrosse Club
camps in Atlanta. This past summer, Lamolinara coached a team of high school players and traveled to tournaments in Florida and Kentucky.
“It definitely gave me a taste of what it’s like to be outside the field and playing lacrosse and I loved it still,” Lamolinara said. “I’m going to miss playing, but at the same time I love lacrosse too much to just walk away.”
Lamolinara received his first dose of game-like coaching at the Carrier Dome at the Orange Alumni Classic on Oct. 4. SU head coach John Desko even walked over to Lamolinara shortly before the game and asked him his opinion on how the team should divide its goalkeepers’ minutes.
Though he’s not in uniform, Lamolinara still makes his way out to SU practices every day at 3:30 p.m. alongside senior goalie Bobby Wardwell — whom he battled for time with over the past two seasons.
Wardwell said Lamolinara warms him up and routinely adds new drills.
“He really is a good motivator,” Wardwell said. “… Coach Donahue was getting spread a little thin last year between goalies and faceoffs. Now it’s nice to have someone who’s solely focused on the goalies. We can’t ever slack off.
“But I just call him Dom. I need to start calling him ‘Coach,’ though.”
Lamolinara introduced a drill where a shooter stands about 5–10 yards away from the cage and shoots at the corners of the net. Because the shooter is so close, the exercise forces Wardwell to keep his movements, includ-ing his false first step, concise.
This past week, Lamolinara spoke on the phone for 20 minutes with one of SU’s goalkeep-ers about where he stands on the depth chart and about how he can improve. But Lamolinara said he doesn’t quite have the authority to tell SU attack Randy Staats or Kevin Rice to do something better or take a lap.
Lamolinara said his ultimate goal at Syracuse still hasn’t changed since he transferred from
Maryland — win a national championship.But now the pursuit for a title will be in a differ-
ent role — one he hopes he’ll thrive in for a while.Said Lamolinara: “Working with the high-
est-level goalies and seeing them get better every day and hoping that I had something to do with it, it’s a good feeling.”

RECRUITING
Verbal commit Ellison looks to use versatility in SU secondary By Sam Blumasst. copy editor
Scout.com, ESPN, Rivals and Hudl all list Daivon Ellison as a cornerback.
But the Don Bosco Preparatory (New Jersey) High School senior doesn’t define himself as the recruiting websites do.
The reason Syracuse recruited him, he says, is because he can basically play any position.
“I’m not just a corner,” he said.And it’s Ellison’s ability to play safety and cor-
ner that can only help a Syracuse secondary that has struggled with its depth in the last couple of seasons. He is the most recent commit to SU’s Class of 2015 after verbally committing on Aug. 25 and will have a lot of competition to see the field right away.
Also part of the class are cornerbacks Gerald Robinson and Andrew Spence, along with three more safeties — and Ellison’s versatility could give him an edge as the Orange secondary con-tinues to evolve.
“He really is flying around everywhere on
the field, all different types of positions,” DBP defensive tackle Kevin Feder said. “He’s a huge game-changer having him in the game. It helps out every which way.”
Injuries — along with freshman safety Naes-ean Howard leaving the team earlier this season — have struck the Syracuse secondary multiple times in the past two years. This season, third cornerback Wayne Morgan has battled a low-er-body injury and it was announced by SU Ath-letics on Monday that freshman safety Rodney Williams will miss the rest of the season with a lower-body injury.
Last year, safety Durell Eskridge and corner-back Julian Whigham both had season-ending injuries. And with Eskridge potentially leaving for the NFL and Brandon Reddish graduating, there will be opportunities for the current crop of freshmen and the incoming defensive backs to contribute.
“But the key thing is that can they line up and play our base package?” said SU defensive backs coach Fred Reed during training camp of how he develops young players. “If they can line up and
play our base package, then we got a chance to get them out there and be able to perform.
“We try and teach them our base system and not put too much on their plates. That’s how we approach it.”
Ellison started out as an outside linebacker his freshman year, before eventually transi-
tioning to cornerback his sophomore year. As a junior, he split time at both, but has focused the majority of his time at cornerback his senior year at Don Bosco.
He also moonlights as a wide receiver and running back, playing 5–10 plays per game on
offense and also contributing as the team’s top kick returner on special teams.
Ellison is always the guy talking with coaches so that he could have both the offensive and defen-sive playbook memorized.
“During the offseason he just trains to get his stamina up, because he’s going to be on the field most of the time,” said Wes McKoy, Don Bosco’s quarterback.
Ellison said there are pros and cons to playing both cornerback and safety. As a corner, he said he loves being on that island and shutting down a wideout one-on-one. But he also resents the fact that he can’t be a game-changer at cornerback if the opposing team runs plays away from him.
At safety, he feels like the leader of the defense. He likes being in the middle of the field, coming up on the runs and shutting down the deep passes.
At Syracuse, he could zero in on one or play either position — a luxury the Orange can only benefit from.
Said Ellison: “As of right now, I’m roaming around the defensive backs.”

For the third straight week, Syracuse will have a shot at the No. 1 ranking in the National Soccer Coaches Associ-ation of America poll, which will be released early Tuesday afternoon.
Currently sitting at No. 5, the Orange (13-2-1, 4-2-1 Atlantic Coast) may benefit from each of the top-four teams in the country suffering a loss this past week. No. 1 Notre Dame fell to No. 8 Indiana, No. 2 Creighton lost to Georgetown, No. 3 California-Ir-vine fell twice and No. 4 Washington lost to No. 6 UCLA.
The Orange started the week with a 4-1 win over Bucknell at SU Soccer Stadium, then battled North Carolina State to a 110-minute, scoreless draw in Raleigh, North Carolina on Friday.
The Bruins, who won twice, have a chance to grab the top spot, while No.
7 Charlotte, the eighth-ranked Hoo-siers and No. 9 North Carolina all had undefeated weeks as well.
SU next faces Boston College on Friday, a game that could decide if Syracuse earns a home game for the first round of the ACC tournament. The Orange currently sits at No. 3 overall in the conference, but seven teams are still in play to secure a home game for the quarterfinals.

Sitting stoically in the first seat to the right of Syracuse head coach Ian McIn-tyre, Jukka Masalin watches as McIn-tyre stands and orchestrates a game.
With frisked-back blonde hair, the man who McIntyre says “runs the show” mainly observes the product of his labor, and keeps his thick Finnish accent to himself.
“I can’t get rid of him,” McIntyre joked. “He’s an outstanding soccer guy, but he’s also more than that. He’s someone to lean on, (someone) that can challenge you, support you and a very, very important part of what we do.”
Masalin is in his first season as SU’s associate head coach and his seventh coaching under McIntyre — their fifth together at Syracuse. The top-five prod-uct that the Orange (13-2-1, 4-2 Atlantic Coast) has put on the field so far this
year has materialized in large part from Masalin visiting and calling European recruits, along with directing practice drills on the Lower Hookway fields.
He’s also shouldered choosing movies on bus rides, something he draws criticism for, but his expertise overseas and on the training ground have helped elevate SU soccer.
“At the end of the day, kids want to be on a winning team and be part of building something different,” Masalin said. “I guess we’ve done a decent job at the end of it of recreating and building this program.”
SU’s combined five wins in his first two seasons as McIntyre’s assistant at Syracuse certainly didn’t make it easy for Masalin to attract top international talent. Now it’s not as difficult.
“It was pretty frickin’ brutal,” Masalin said of his first two seasons at SU. “But now you look at what we’ve

Syracuse freshman safety Rodney Williams is out for the season with a lower-body injury and senior wide receiver Keenan Hale is done with his football career, according to an SU Athletics release on Monday.
Orthopedic surgeon Todd Batt-aglia will perform Williams’ sea-son-ending surgery. Hale has never played a snap for SU and missed last season with a lower-body injury. He was a two-star recruit by Scout.com in the Class of 2011.
“... Along with his family, (he) has decided that it is best to move forward without football,” accord-ing to the release.
He becomes the sixth player to leave the team this season, joining Alex Schoen, Naesean Howard, Franklin Santos, Evan Jakubowski and Josh Mims.
