I n the last 20 years, Michael Speaks’ career in architecture has allowed him to travel far and wide.

He’s taught architecture in the Neth-erlands, Los Angeles and Lexington, Ky.

His most recent stop: Syracuse, where he has taken the position of dean of the School of Architecture.

As dean, Speaks’ experience in the architecture field will help further pro-mote SU’s outreach in the community, as well as push for technology and adap-tion in the evolving field.

A BIT OF HISTORY FROM THE DAILY ORANGE ARCHIVES

Tucked away in the alley behind Marshall Street is a new haven for food,

drink and intellectual conversa-tion. OK, it’s really another bar located near Syracuse Univer-sity.

Most are under the impression that the spacious Chuck’s is a brand new establishment. However, the bar and restau-rant has a longer history here than students realize.

In 1970, the creators of Chuck’s operated a small chain of bars and restaurants called Hungry Charlie’s, which served mostly Northeastern universities. One franchise occupied the floor below the current Chuck’s loca-tion here at Syracuse. They made quite a name for them-selves among the students and

the community.

‘Hungry Charlie’s was an insti-tution here in Syracuse,’ said Chuck’s manager Sam Kamen, who graduated from the Max-well School in 1990 with a political science degree. ‘Stu-dents, faculty, neighborhood folk and the surrounding area, everybody knew of Hungry Charlie’s.’

In 1996, the bar’s lease ended, and the owner decided not to renew it because he had hoped to build an independent movie theater to occupy that space. Plans for the theater fell through. Mark Janov, who ran the downstairs of Chuck’s for 20 years when it was Hungry Charlie’s, signed a new lease for the Syracuse location in 2002.

In an Aug. 26 headline titled “Four cabinet members to leave positions by end of September, increasing total to eight of 11 vacancies,” the number of cabinet members leaving, the time of Emily Ballard’s departure and the number of vacancies were misstated. Five Student Association cabinet members are leaving their current positions; Ballard said she was leaving at the beginning of September; and the previously vacant chief of staff and recorder positions were filled in the spring.

In the Aug. 26 crime briefs, details surrounding the Aug. 21 burglary were misstated. Police said rocks surrounding a car that was broken into could have been used in the burglary.

In the Aug. 26 crime briefs, Syracuse Police Department Sgt. Gary Bulinski was misquoted. He was only quoted as saying: “Fortunately, it was pretty quiet…even minor in nature.” The Daily Orange regrets these errors.

SU officials to analyze Schine study

SUA replaces ambulance with updated vehicle

By Alex PtachickSTAFF WRITER

Syracuse University Ambulance has upgraded one of its ambulances, replacing the seven-year-old vehicle with a newer model. SUA was formed in 1973 and is a recognized student organization made up of more than 70 members who respond to 24-hour medical emergencies. The organization is also available for non-emergency medical transport, mass-casualty incident response and special standby event services. The organization responds to more than 1,500 calls each year, according to its website.

SUA is required to replace its ambu-lances every seven years, said Paul Smyth, the emergency medical ser-vices manager. Although SU Ambu-lance replaced its other ambulance in 2010, the A2, a 2006 Braun Class III Ford F450, was due for an upgrade at the end of the spring semester.“We’re all very excited and we are for-tunate and thankful that SU Health Services and the student health fee were able to make this possible,” said Billy Fletcher, SUA president. Fletcher said the new restraint fea-tures a five-point harness that makes it safer for everyone in the back of the ambulance. He said no additional

training was necessary to accommo-date for the new features, but mem-bers did receive a PowerPoint pre-sentation during the summer from their training supervisor detailing the differences from the old A2. Every other aspect except for the layout of the ambulance remains the same, Fletcher said. “The design doesn’t change much,” Smyth said. “The new A2 has much safer restraints in the back of the ambulance. That’s the main differ-ence between the two.”There is also an improved exterior safety feature on the new A2, Smyth said. The upgraded model features

reflective tape in a chevron pattern that makes the current model more visible to other drivers on the road. “SUA was able to receive funding through Student Association to upgrade the other ambulance,” Fletcher said. “We wanted both ambu-lances to be equally as safe, because we use them both the same amount.”There was no additional fundraising necessary to receive the upgraded ambulance, Smyth added.SUA also has five other vehicles and a trailer.

Syracuse University officials will continue the Schine Renovation Feasibility Study in the upcoming weeks, analyzing suggestions to improve the student experience in the center.

The study, which incorporates student feedback, examined how the Schine Student Center could be more beneficial for SU students. The study was designed by the firm Architecture Research Office and solicited surveys and recommen-dations through social media.

The Architecture Research Office will use the information from the study to develop the best schemes for modernizing Schine, said Eric Beattie, director of the Office of Campus Planning, Design and Construction, in an email. The student survey, presentations to student organizations, question and answer sessions and the com-mittee’s progress have been help-ful input, he said.

The committee will take a closer look at the study and its recommendations, Beattie said, He added the study’s findings will be discussed at the Board of Trustees meeting in November.

The survey included questions about the frequency of visiting the student center, reasons for going to the student center and what new features would be appreciated by students, Beattie said.

The survey, he said, found that about 50 percent of the survey respondents estimated they visit

Renovations on Newhouse II have entered the demolition stage after the project was introduced in 2010, and will soon begin construction.

The construction phase is expect-ed to be completed by June before being unveiled officially in fall 2014, said Susan Nash, director of admin-istration for the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and over-seer of the project. Construction will involve building and designing the multimedia studios located on the first floor, she said.

Three weeks ago, the first outer wall facing Waverly Avenue was knocked down, sparking excitement and interest from both students and alumni, Nash said.

“Once the (construction) panels came up the side of the building, it started to seem pretty real for peo-ple,” she said. “I’ve heard a lot of excitement from people that it’s actu-ally happening and underway.”

The project in total cost $18 mil-lion and will serve as the first major, full-scale update of Newhouse II since its construction in 1974.

President Barack Obama must provide more details and think in the long term about the latest government proposal he has laid out for millions of college hopefuls.

During his upstate New York tour last week, Obama outlined plans to make higher education more affordable by using strate-gic federal pressure. His plan includes a rat-ing system to illustrate how much progress colleges are making in increasing scholar-ships, diminishing costs and admitting more disadvantaged students. The further the progress, the more aid these colleges would receive to support incoming students.

This rating system could potentially push colleges to drive down tuition, which would attract applicants toward education that was once financially out of reach.

The plan could even affect fellow peers. Chancellor Nancy Cantor said she thinks Syracuse University would rate highly on Obama’s rating scale.

SU has both the socioeconomic diversity

and strong financial aid program to rate high enough to get additional aid. Accord-ing to the White House’s College Scorecard, the median amount of money an SU student borrows is $24,300 in loans.

However, before underprivileged stu-dents get their hopes up about this proposal, Obama must lay out more of its details. Cur-rently, it is too vague to fully support.

More graduates will eventually enter the workforce, so Obama must think long term about this proposal.

He must continue to focus on building jobs within the economy. This will ensure

there are plenty of jobs open for the stream of students he hopes to help one day attend and graduate from college.

It is important that Obama has stepped forward and started to lead the discussion on the affordability of higher education.

Alongside Obama, Congress should put par-tisanship aside and work to make the country’s system of higher education more affordable.

The next generation of college students will be the future of this country. Obama’s proposal could allow for the education of an underprivileged student who might just be the next generation’s great innovator.

Obama should think long term, provide details on college affordability plan

I have never dreamed of becoming a business leader. But there were scenes in Joshua Michael Stern’s recently

released, scintillating biopic, “Jobs,” that made me seriously reconsider my ambitions. The movie highlighted immovable show-downs between industry titans like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.

By glorifying tech titans who deserve to be glorified for their intelligence and inno-vation, the movie helped redefine “celeb-rity” according to its positive connotation: a role model young people can emulate.

In 2010 with “The Social Network,” we paid similar homage to another tech revo-lutionary, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. Within a few years, new role models will come to life when Aaron Sorkin adapts Walter Isaacson’s equally scintillating biog-raphy, “Steve Jobs.”

It would be fitting to call these depictions celebrity propaganda, because they are res-cuing the term from its current dire state.

Before the proliferation of mass media, being a celebrity in America meant being great

at what you do. Everyone knew Henry Ford and P.T. Barnum and Thomas Edison because they earned their visibility by making contribu-tions that furthered human capabilities.

With today’s mass media though, the con-cept of celebrity has become more saturated than a flooded swimming pool.

To be famous and influential these days, all you have to do is pop out an immature amount of kids (“Jon and Kate”) or lose an obscene amount of weight (“The Biggest Loser”) or be breathtakingly gorgeous (see Kardashian, Kim).

For a while, we no longer cared if a celeb-rity was great at what he or she did. We only cared if they could get our attention.

That is starting to change. By redefining celebrities, Hollywood

introduces quality role models from less visible professions, particularly tech CEOs. Everyone knows visionaries like Jobs, Zuck-erberg and Bill Gates because, like Ford, Barnum and Edison, their innovations have only furthered our society.

The trend continues to grow. More tech visionaries, particularly females, are emerging from the shadow of the preeminent titans. Ex-Google executive Marissa Mayer became a household name when she became the first female tech CEO in 2012, when she took over Yahoo.

Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg became a national name after using her platform to write a woman’s empowerment book, “Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead,” earlier this year.

It is fitting that the tech industry, which created the celebrity monster, has made worthy role models of its iconoclastic lead-ers. Kids should dream of innovating. These dreams are more realistic than becoming

a professional athlete or actor. They are rooted in an industry that is defining our time and creating the most jobs.

It’s imperative to continue pushing young people in creative business directions.

On the heels of “The Social Network” and “Jobs” and “Lean In,” we must continue using visible industries to illuminate posi-tive role models from less visible industries.

The film portrayal of tech visionaries is flourishing, after all. “The Social Network” was nominated for eight Academy Awards. “Steve Jobs” was Amazon’s best-selling book of 2011 before it actually came out. “Lean In” topped The New York Times and Amazon bestseller lists.

We have been conditioned to admonish our celebrity obsession. But, the obsession is only negative if that’s how it influences its impressionable consumers. Technology gave us the paparazzi drug. Its creators are teach-ing us how to use it for good.

Hollywood obsession with tech innovators brings new type of role model

I n the beginning of the semester, as at any college, Syracuse University is completely wrapped up in the freshman class.

Upperclassmen definitely don’t require the same attention and assistance that new stu-dents deserve, so it is solely up to us, as students who have already experienced college, to make sure we take care of ourselves.

This past week, 3,500 new students were welcomed to this university with open arms by orientation leaders, faculty and student volunteer groups, such as Goon Squad and Colores.

Meanwhile, somewhere on South Campus, off-campus houses and a few residence halls, returning students were fending for them-selves, because they have this whole college life down to a science.

Right? Not necessarily. The enthusiasm of first walking onto your college campus fades, and the stress sets in.

In an article published on Aug. 24 titled “Are Millennials really the ‘Me’ genera-tion?” CNBC writer and SU alumna Cindy Perman touched on various aspects of “mil-lennials,” including how important it is for

young people to reconnect with themselves and feel happy.

Life coach Steve Fagan explains in the piece, “If you’re happy with yourself, your confidence level goes up. If you’re confident, you’re able to take chances and step outside your comfort zone. And you have more energy and more excitement to look forward to your day at work.”

As upperclassmen, it can feel like a daunting task having to constantly renew your energy, enthusiasm and drive to face another semester that may be more difficult and unexpected than the last.

The bar is set higher as you move deeper into your major courses, attempt to get settled into a new living space and maintain

the friendships you have started building in previous years.

At times like these, where we face a turn-ing point and prepare to add yet another chapter to our growing list of college memo-ries, it becomes even more important to feel just as refreshed and brand new as we did freshman year.

Think back to when you first stepped on the SU campus with a sense of thrill and enthusi-asm for the next chapter.

This excitement remains for many upper-classmen when they return to campus, but we know what the reality of college is like. We know what it’s like to struggle with the bal-ance of academics, friendships and extracur-ricular activities.

As we advance, the goal is to endure and maintain the same spark of excitement we once felt as eager freshmen. It becomes more difficult to keep outside powers from influencing your decisions and ultimately making you stressed out.

We always remind ourselves to stay cen-tered and keep things in perspective when entering a new semester. But when exams

roll around and the assignments pile up, those same words of wisdom are tossed out of the windows of E.S. Bird Library or wher-ever you may be hiding at that point.

As an upperclassman, you know that you are just as likely to feel like you’re drowning in stress and anxieties as you are to have more fun than you’ve ever experienced before.

Just like facing a fear of heights, the only way to combat the twists, turns and curve-balls that you’ll encounter in college is to face them.

After all, the four years of undergrad are about developing character and life skills. Your freshman year merely scratches the surface of what this college experience could mean.

So as classes begin and our SU emails begin to look like a scene out of “Armaged-don,” remind yourself of the carefree spirit you once felt as a freshman.

Remind yourself just how much this uni-versity has to offer, and how much you can also bring to the table.

Dining halls on campus should follow Sadler’s

new trayless system

W ith the excitement that comes along with the start of any semester, one

recent development proves to make our eating habits a little greener and our waistlines a little narrower. Sadler Dining Center was recently renovated this summer into a beau-tiful new dining experience.

Sadler has removed its trays and paper napkins. Diners will now only use cloth napkins and dinner-sized plates.

After years of research and plenty of models from col-leges across the nation that have already taken the switch, trayless dining is known for reducing food, water and electricity waste.

While this is a great improve-ment, the rest of campus must fol-low suit in order to receive the full benefits of trayless dining.

There are four other main din-ing centers and other cafés and eateries that can benefit from din-ing without a tray.

Trays generally accumulate excessive food waste from tray users and require a large amount of water and electricity in its cleaning process.

When using a tray, many fill up the space with an amount of food that the person will not end up eat-ing; even my eyes get bigger than my stomach from time to time, especially when I can fit more food on a large tray.

The retirement of trays from the dining systems has shown the lowering of food waste. Even if a system has composting capabili-ties, like Syracuse University does in every dining center, waste is still waste. The energy to cultivate, preserve and transport ingredients has gone to waste.

Without dining trays, the upkeep of the trays adds to water and energy conservation. Trays are cleaned in the same manner as the

plates, yet the larger surface area consumes more to clean. Taking the trays away conserves water and energy that can then be used for better and brighter things.

In the past five years, many colleges and universities across the nation have accommodated trayless dining into their everyday eating habits. Even articles in The New York Times and USA Today have touted the benefits of taking out trays from dining halls.

Clearly, SU is late to the game, but with the addition of trayless dining in newly revitalized Sadler Dining Center, the rest of campus should follow suit.

In some cases it may be difficult for some students to adjust to din-ing without a tray, but with the benefits so apparent, it is the envi-ronmentally and economically conscious thing to do.

Trays are institutional and cold, while dining with only a plate brings a homey ambience wrapped in a healthier package for this world. It’s a small, simple change that can have monumental effects when occurring over times in high volume on campus.

The things that help to change the world are not only the large protests or leaders of a movement, but the daily actions that we take to make the place we live a little bet-ter over time. Sadler is just a start.

than were happening 10 years ago. We will have very different opportunities and will do different things.”

He said it’s hard to know precisely what those opportunities are until he surveys and analyzes the constraints.

Taylor Wood, assistant dean of advancement at the School of Architecture, said Speaks is looking to start new programs that benefit the school both educationally and financially.

“(Speaks is) a very entrepreneurial dean,” Wood said. “He’s going to look to start some new things and generate some new programs and new revenue streams for the school.”

Wood, who has worked with Speaks at the University of Kentucky, now manages the school’s fundraising activities while helping formulate Speaks’ vision for the school, he said.

The ultimate goal is to help students make connections through Syracuse community projects, study abroad programs and global campuses, Wood said.

SU’s presence will be carried further downstate in January 2014, when The Fisher Center in New York City opens. The center, which will feature two full architecture stu-dios, will be one of Speaks’ main priorities as dean, Wood said.

Developing and completing the New York City facility is just one of the tasks Speaks has been focusing on. He said he is also bringing new talent to SU through the lecture series, working on new programs to promote SU out-reach in the global community and continuing the push for technology.

The educational model on campus is changing and growing constantly to adapt to the evolution of technology because, Speaks said, “so much of what we do now occurs on little flat screens.”

He said designers used to draw by hand and then craft models and buildings based on those drawings. Now, strides in digital technology have accelerated the process.

This advancement in technology has cre-ated such a demand for these skills that every student has to be able to design with software or it’s difficult to get a job, Speaks said. For SU students, these technologies are available and integrated into the architecture program.

“One of the things that we can do now, with technology and software and digital design,” Speaks said, “is a student or an architect can make a digital design, create a file and that file can be used to 3D-print a model.”

Drawing and crafting models by hand, which would previously take weeks, has been replaced by designing and creating models using 3D printers, which finishes in a matter of hours, Speaks said.

The School of Architecture utilizes 3D print-ers and laser cutters, all of which use digital files to create models. These fabrication tools are available in Slocum Hall, where students can go to have models manufactured, Speaks said.

A new creative space, the Einhorn Studio, is being added to the school to replace the normal classroom studio and merge the entire learning, designing and building process, Speaks said.

SU alumnus Steve Einhorn sponsored the studio’s construction with the intention of designing a contemporary architecture studio with a modern teaching style and practical skills, Speaks added.

The studio will have mobile desks to encour-age regrouping and collaboration between stu-dents. It will also feature a new 3D projection system and model-building equipment under the same roof.

“It encourages collaboration, it encourages teamwork, it encourages making and learning by making,” Speaks said. “In a way, it approximates the way the 21st century design office works.”

This training in group-based environments is something that Associate Dean of the School of Architecture Jonathan Solomon said he thinks makes architects important and unique in the professional world.

Solomon said the School of Architecture’s three strengths are professional education, study abroad opportunities and students work-ing in the community. While he thinks these strengths will remain, he said they are likely to evolve.

“It’s a good thing for schools to be able to renew themselves in this way from time to time,” Solomon said. “There’s an opportunity for a kind of reflective moment on the part of the school and for a new set of priorities to be brought forward.”

leadership skills to strengthen the school’s rankings and its relationship with alumni.

“My first priority at the Whitman School is to build a partnership culture between students, faculty, staff and alum-ni,” Kavajecz said. “We must strive to be collaborative, and ensure this partnership stays alive from our freshman class to our most senior alumni.”

Whitman has all the pieces needed to be successful, Kavajecz said. Now it’s just a mat-ter of putting them together. He said Whitman has a bright student body, a dedicated staff and engaged, supportive alumni.

When the search committee was looking for a new dean, it sought a candidate who could make Whitman one of the top 25 ranked business schools, said Lorraine Branham, chairwoman of the search committee and dean of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

Branham said the committee felt Kavajecz would do well at SU.

While many consider rankings to be important tools to measure a school’s success, Kavajecz said they don’t tell the whole story.

“Business school rankings are a reality we need to deal with. While they do contain some useful information, they do not cap-ture a significant portion of our, and other schools’ missions,” Kavajecz said. “They are an imperfect measure, and they should be used accordingly.”

Vice-Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina said Kavajecz brings a lot of experience and has a good background for the job.

With his experience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Kavajecz is very well- prepared for his new position as dean, Spina said. He also said Kavajecz did his homework on SU, and was able to articulate the things he wanted to improve about Whitman.

“He’s a terrific scholar and a very strong teacher,” Spina said. “He brings a thoughtful-ness and intentionality to engaging the staff and students.”

Spina said it’s important for Kavajecz to continue building on the current strengths of Whitman, as well as improving other areas of the school that aren’t as prominent. He said Kavajecz will need to work with

alumni supporters and faculty to advance the school in ways that are natural rather than forcing things.

“Whitman is an important school at SU,” Spina said. “It’s gotten better over the last 10 years, and it can be better and we want it to be better.”

Willie Reddic, who served on the search committee, said he believes Kavajecz really understands the values and mission of SU and Whitman.

Reddic said he hopes Kavajecz can ulti-mately grow Whitman’s reputation to the point where it becomes a household name.

Kavajecz said he sees areas where the school can improve, specifically adapting to the changing landscape in higher education.

He said it isn’t as common today for people to receive one degree and work with that degree permanently. People are constantly trying to improve themselves.

“I think we need to take seriously, and act on, the fact that we are all lifelong learners,” Kavajecz said.

Kavajecz knows he has challenges ahead in his time as dean.

He said with all the availability of edu-cational content online, Whitman needs to identify its mission, and find out what will set it apart in the years to come.

“We need to be delivering something

above and beyond just content. It has to be a network, there has to be interaction, and there has to be the power of learning from your colleagues and peers and knowing how to work with others,” Kavajecz said. “Those institutions that understand how to deliver a transformational experience are going to succeed.”

ali mitchell | staff photographerALLIE CURTIS, student association president gives a presentation to the general assembly Monday night about her summer accomplishments and fall semester goals.

STUDENT ASSOCIATIONevery tuesday in news

By Maggie CreganASST. COPY EDITOR

At their first meeting of the academic year, Stu-dent Association officers gave presentations to the assembly on their summer accomplishments and discussed initiatives for this semester.

SA held its meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Monday in Maxwell Auditorium. President Allie Curtis gave a presentation about her work during the summer, Vice President Duane Ford provided an update on the vending machine initiative and Comptroller Stephen DeSalvo proposed three bills.

During the summer, Curtis worked with Kim Brown of Syracuse University Career Services to feature student internship experiences on the Career Services blog, providing other students with ideas and contacts for future internships. Students interested in being featured on the blog must send a 500-word blog post with photo-graphs and contacts to Curtis by Sept. 9.

Curtis also met with Jonathan Taylor of the SA-SGA Alumni Organization during the summer to discuss the possibility of creating an archive of SA history and alumni information. They also developed the idea of adding the posi-tion of historian to the cabinet.

Curtis said she is also working to bring Elect Her, an organization that trains and encour-ages women to run for student government and future political office, to campus this fall. Open positions

The positions of director of technology and judicial review board chair are still open.

A public relations co-chair position is open. There are open seats for representatives in every home college except the School of Education.New InitiativesExpenditure request forms and contingency request forms will now only be available on OrgSync and no longer on paper.

Ford said he is working to put vending machines with items such as condoms and toi-letries in residence halls. Ford said he initially wanted to give students access to condoms after the health center closes. He now plans on adding other small items students can buy.

Ford said he is also working to put three trashcans on Euclid Avenue as a trial run of an initiative to clean up off-campus housing.

Students from the College of Visual and Performing Arts will decorate the trashcans to express Syracuse culture, he said. If the deco-rated cans — hopefully put into use by the end of this semester — hold up to Syracuse weather, more will be added. If not, a more basic model will be used, Ford said. Fiscal Bills Comptroller Stephen DeSalvo proposed three bills regulating student organization spending, particularly of miscellaneous funding.

When student organizations host events using SA funding, the money from ticket sales goes to the group’s miscellaneous funding

account. DeSalvo said he wants to create some restrictions to keep inexperienced comptrollers from allowing organizations to use the funds in ways that don’t benefit the campus.

“Having served the job for three semesters now, it’s very clear to me what should and should not be done with this money,” he said.

Under the proposed changes, an organization cannot spend more than $500 on clothing for themselves per semester, except for necessary clothing like uniforms for dance groups. No scholarships should be paid for with miscel-laneous funds, only fundraising.

Prize money from miscellaneous funds should not exceed $500 and should only be awarded in events with off-campus organi-zations. Money from miscellaneous funds should not be transferred from one SU organi-zation to another.

DeSalvo also proposed creating a policy regarding donations, saying students deserve to know where their money is going when attending an event. Groups would have to spec-ify where they intend to donate money from an event before its held.

Finally, DeSalvo said he would like to allow new student organizations to receive up to $250 in funding during their first year. The organiza-tions would have to fill out forms to be approved by the comptroller, but would receive the money immediately upon approval. Organizations that applied for funding in the fall could roll over

funds to the spring, but groups that received funding in the spring could not roll the money over to the next academic year.

The SU community’s input to the committee continues to play a large role in the search pro-cess, Alper said. Such outreach included feed-back on the desired qualities of the incoming chancellor from campus community, greater Central New York Area, and alumni in cities across the nation.

Alper said she hopes to release greater details of the search once the process is complete.

sCHINE RENOVATIONsf r o m p a g e 3

Schine once per week; 25 percent estimated they visit Schine daily; and 15 percent esti-mated they visit Schine once a month.

In the study, the top three features that were recommended were a 24-hour study space, grab-and-go food options and an ATM, Beattie said.

Other suggestions included extending hours of operation for dining; study and social activi-ties; and study spaces with an equal number of quiet study areas, group study spaces and lounge areas, he said.

Currently, the Architecture Research Office is developing “schemes” – potential layouts for the student center renovations.

To date, there are five potential schemes, according to Architecture Research Office’s website. The firm describes Schine’s current structure as one that “severs any connection

at large.”The five schemes include:keeping the bookstore, moving the dining

area and moving the staff areamoving the staff area and installing an

underground theater creating a “student-only” building, moving

the dining areas, keeping the staff area and creating a movie theater

create a new building for a movie theater, moving the dining hall and keeping the staff

creating an extra floor, and moving the din-ing area and staff areas

Schemes 1-5 grow progressively more expen-sive, according to the firm’s website.

“As the benefits and challenges of schemes have become clearer, the number of schemes are likely to be reduced to two or three by the time the feasibility study is concluded,” Beattie said.

Each of the original five schemes proposed different amounts of construction work, he said, some of them including demolishing and

repurposing the wing where the current book-store is located.

While no scheme has been chosen yet for the renovations, Beattie said the leading con-tenders are ones that place student activities, student services and food venues in close prox-imity to Schine’s main entrance.

He added that it is unlikely the final results of the study will encourage demolishing any of the existing structure. But, Beattie said, the amount of reorganization of “program func-tions and circulation” within the building is still subject to further consideration.

A schedule has not been established for the renovations to the student center. Beat-tie said the project will most likely be completed in phases to avoid a “complete shutdown” of Schine.

He said the first phase will probably begin after the bookstore moves out of the student center and into it its new location on Univer-sity Avenue.

The outer walls of Newhouse II are now being replaced with construction panels to supple-ment the building of a two-story glass curtain wall at the corner of University and Waverly Avenues. The glass wall will be part of the revamped entrance lobby. Dick Clark Studios

The renovation plans are on display on the first floor of Newhouse II, Nash said.

“So far, there have been a couple tweaks to the design, but the plans still remain simi-lar to the original rendering,” said Nash. “We expect the construction process to run smoothly.”

LIGHT WORK EXPOSED PHOTO GALLERY CELEBRATES 40TH ANNIVERSARY WITH PICTURES FROM THE PAST

SEE LIGHT WORK PAGE 12

By Ian Simon-CurrySTAFF WRITER

Photography is a reveal-

ing art form, yet one of

its major presences in

Syracuse — Light Work — hides

quietly in an unassuming cor-

ner on campus.

Tucked away on the Waverly

Avenue side of Watson Hall,

Light Work is a small organi-

zation that supports emerging

photographers and provides

darkroom space for the Syra-

cuse community. This year

marks its 40th anniversary, and

the gallery is currently showing

an exhibit that celebrates its past

successes while looking toward

the future. The exhibit, titled

“40 Artists / 40 Years: Selections

from the Light Work Collection,”

is free and will be on view until

Oct. 25.

The executive director of

Light Work, Jeffrey Hoone,

who has led the organiza-

tion for more than 30 of its 40

years, selected the works for

the show — which includes

work from the organization’s

3,500-piece collection.

The celebratory exhibit is pre-

sented in the recently-dedicated

Kathleen O. Ellis Gallery and

displays a wide variety of photo-

graphic work.

Hoone chose one photograph

by a former artist-in-residence

from each year of Light Work’s

history to represent the hun-

dreds of artists it has supported.

Artists are encouraged to donate

a piece at the conclusion of their

residency. Museum studies Syr-

acuse University alumna Jessica

Breedlove assisted Hoone when

preparing the show.

Hoone writes in his gallery

notes that the “exhibition is a

small record of the work that

we have collected over the past

forty years, but only evidence

of an incomplete story.” Still, he

also states that the supportive

relationship formed between

Light Work and its community

of artists is the ultimate reward.

Supporting artists has been

Light Work’s mission since its

creation.

Block and Tom Bryan created

She grew up in a family that was both support-ive and encouraging of tattoo culture. Now she has three.

Rachel Moore, a junior international rela-tions, political science and television, radio and film triple major, got her first tattoo when she was 18.

“A tattoo is like an investment in artwork. If you are getting them, you are signing on to take care of them and to take care of your body for the rest of your life,” she said.

Her father, who has ink of his own, funded her first piece. The tattoo — a compass rose centered on her upper spine — circularly displays the Latin words “vita est pro fortis” translating to “life is for the brave.” Her second piece is smaller, located on the side of her rib cage. It reads “nunc adsum” or “I’m here now.”

Her most recent work of art, however, is the show stealer. A sirenesque black ink mermaid graces the right side of her back. This piece of art was the product of Mike “The Face” Grant of Saint Sabrina’s, a tattoo parlor in Minne-apolis, Minn.

Moore said she played an active part in design-ing the tattoo. She researched characteristics of mermaids, choosing every detail down to the scales on the fin.

After collaborating with Mike, she spent 75 minutes at the parlor getting the tattoo, which she described as her most painful tattoo experience thus far.

Though she realized it would be unpleas-

ant, Moore said she chose this part of her back because the shape of the skin isn’t one that will evolve with time. The piece should still hold the mesmerizing mermaid 50 years from now.

Moore said she’s always loved the ocean — its inhabitants, its mystery and the ideas it symbolizes.

Though she loves the Disney classic “The Little Mermaid,” Moore said the historical myths surrounding less cartoony mermaids hold the true meaning to her tattoo, such as the topic’s vast folklore. Mermaids are univer-sally seen as mysterious beauties, Moore said, who may seem like any sailor’s dream but hold the ability to lure them into oblivion. Though such activities are not on Moore’s agenda, she described the piece as her “empowered woman tattoo” because it embodies some of her per-sonal values, one being independence.

With an appointment already scheduled for another tattoo, Moore said she sees her pieces as a journal. Even with the inevitability of time, she realizes the importance of remember-ing what was meaningful to her at different chapters during her life.

“They are keeping track of mental and emo-tional phases,” Moore said.

So, what lies ahead for her mermaid? As with all journeys, the future is rather nebulous, but a vision does exist. The nautical theme will con-tinue, Moore said, with hopes to tie everything together with the compass, reminiscent of old world maps and travels.

T ypically known for its whimsically fun beats, Owl City won the hearts of thou-sands with its debut album, “Maybe I’m

Dreaming.” Then, its second album featured the megahit “Fireflies,” and Owl City has been living off its success ever since.

Last year, the artist released an album titled “The Midsummer Station,” and just recently released an EP with the same title that includes acoustic remixes from the original album.

While somewhat innovative, the five-track EP may disappoint fans with its number of songs, as if it’s not an actual album. But it’s not supposed to be. An EP, or extended play, is a musical recording that does not have enough material to qualify as a full album. So, think of this release as more of a collector’s edition.

Perhaps the biggest critique about Owl City’s new music is that front man Adam Young is now collaborating with other songwriters. But fear not hardcore Owl City fans — this is not a bad thing. “The Midsummer Station Acoustic EP” is Young’s attempt at broadening his musi-cal horizons.

The EP experiments with a newfound vocal rawness, guitar riffs and a simplicity not previ-ously felt from past albums. If you appreciate Owl City’s music, but could do without the overly electronic and synthesized instrumen-tals, this album is perfect for you.

The opening track “Good Time” is a stripped-down version of the popular 2012 release that featured Carly Rae Jepsen. In this version, it’s just Young with a guitar, which adds a new dimension to the song. Young’s vocals pull the listener in, and you’ll realize how great his voice really is. The acoustic remixes flatter their mainstream counterparts, and “Good Time” pays homage to its fun lyrics and powerful vocals.

The second track of the album is “Shooting Star,” an encouraging ode to someone special. The original version of this song was also released off the previous album. Like “Good Time,” “Shooting Star” originally gained popu-larity on its own, but the acoustic version gives it a more original feel.

In a style reminiscent of “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls, “Gold” is a deep, yet infectious addition to the album. As the last acoustic remix on the album, this song solidifies why people love acoustic songs in the first place. It is ridiculously relaxing with a two-part harmony in the chorus as well as Young’s intense and unedited vocals.

The album closes out with two previously unreleased tracks, “Hey Anna” and “I Hope You Think of Me,” which both pay tribute to Owl City’s trademark sound. “Hey Anna” is an upbeat, fun-loving song, encouraging a girl to love a boy regardless of his short-comings. And “I Hope You Think of Me,” although equally upbeat and catchy, has a sadder undertone of a breakup and a sense of wondering if the girl still thinks about her past lover from time to time.

“The Midsummer Station Acoustic EP” is exciting, new and experimental for the international superstar, and Young success-fully keeps his audience engaged with new versions of past favorites. This EP is sure to be a win for those who appreciate relaxing music, while still appeasing the die-hard electronica lovers.

LIGHT WORK F R O M P A G E 9

W hile all my Syracuse friends are returning to campus, I’m one of many playing the waiting game

to study abroad in Florence, Italy. And while part of me is pulsing with excitement for the great day of departure, another part of me is in a mild-to-severe panic mode about going abroad.

Don’t get me wrong, visiting Italy is a dream come true. But it’s like I’m cliff div-ing and obsessing about the strength of the cord that’s pulling me back. It’s an incred-ible opportunity — but the closer you get to that day when you finally take flight, the more you freak out.

For example, I worry about getting there and returning here safely. In the past few months, I’ve only traveled as far as New York City, but each time my “cord” home got closer to snapping. So naturally I have some travel anxiety.

One trip was after an internship interview, and I took an Amtrak train home. I caught the train, but managed to miss my stop. I wound up getting let off at a station 40 minutes from home, right as Amtrak and the nearby stores were closing, and as my phone died. And I didn’t get the internship.

Another trip — I’m not lying — could’ve killed me. It was on Friday, May 17. I boarded a Metro-North train around 6:30 p.m., but there was one little problem. There was a dif-ferent train on the very same track, heading in the same direction as mine, which had just derailed and crashed, injuring dozens.

If I’d left NYC an hour earlier, I would’ve been in that crash. Instead, I was thankful enough to accept a five-hour delay.

I can only imagine how my “cord” home will fare going as far as Italy. I’ve joked about somehow winding up in Russia. That’s mixed with my other fears about meeting my host family, managing my cash and everything else my imagination

is generous enough to pile on.Yet, these kinds of worries are exactly

like me.With a background in journalism and

hopes of finding a job in website management, my feelings about Florence actually mirror the ones about my career. Despite my own passions, I’m constantly worrying about my future due to the whirlwind of changes, struggles and massive layoffs everywhere in the industry. I’ve been working hard, but a lot of that motivation has been fueled by fear. But I don’t want that to drive my life.

If anything can change that fear, it’s Florence. It’s a big reason why I decided to go abroad: I don’t want to worry about that “cord” connecting me back to safety any-more — I just want to enjoy the ride. That’s probably the best thing about studying abroad. Your worries will get overwhelmed and you’ll remember how to enjoy life. I’m especially hoping that’s what it brings me, and everyone else going.

I really do want to experience everything Italy has to offer: the incredible artwork from the Italian Renaissance, gondola boat rides and more. I’m even tempted to treat myself to some Italian leather shoes, if I’m in a good mood, which I will be.

renee zhou | staff photographerA hands-on station in Light Work’s “40 Artists / 40 Years” gallery allows attendees to view slideshows of some photographs through a handheld View-Master toy.

Community Darkrooms. During that same year, Light Work became officially recog-nized as a nonprofit corporation, allowing it to fundraise.

According to Hoone’s notes, the relationship between the Community Darkrooms and Light Work is very close and mutually supportive.

“Working in collaboration with Community Darkrooms at Syracuse University, Light Work has concentrated on supporting emerging and under-recognized artists,” he wrote.

Light Work then developed rapidly, begin-ning its artist-in-residence program and pub-lishing the first issue of its magazine, “Contact Sheet,” within its first four years of existence.

Today, Light Work publishes five issues of “Contact Sheet” and hosts 12 artists-in-resi-dence along with four gallery shows each year.

“40 Artists / 40 Years” includes works by photography heavyweights like Cindy Sher-man, Carrie Mae Weems and John Gossage. Having been supported by Light Work while largely unknown, the success of these photog-raphers testifies to the impact the organiza-tion can have on an artist’s career, said Sarah Sellman, the communications coordinator for Light Work.

Encompassing four decades of work, the exhibition also spans the varied possibilities of photography as a medium of expression. The show includes portraits, landscapes, abstract

works and even a cross-stitched photograph. Visitors can even view one artist’s photographs through a View-Master toy, a handheld device for viewing photos in a slideshow format.

Though the exhibit celebrates 40 years of art, its photographs are not arranged chronological-ly. Instead, they are “mixed together by content and tone,” explained Sellman. The arrangement allows visitors to draw connections between works. For example, many of the photographs depict life in Syracuse and Central New York, captured by artists during their residencies.

The organization has grown significantly in four decades, transforming from a small, little-known gallery into an influential and internationally recognized institution. But in spite of that, Light Work is committed to its original mission to support artists and serve the public. Earlier this spring, the exhibit was even on display at the Palitz Gallery at Syracuse University’s Joseph I. Lubin House in New York City.

In keeping with that mission to serve the community, Light Work will hold a reception celebrating the exhibit on Thursday, Sept. 26, from 5-7 p.m. The event will be free and open to the public.

As a symbol of Light Work’s history and future, the exhibit is only the tip of the iceberg.

Said Shane Lavalette, Light Work director: “(Light Work) is here to provide something to do and something to look at, but it’s also here for the public.”

against ACC competition.Run the ballFormer offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hack-ett is gone, but Syracuse would be wise to heed his advice: “It’s real simple: We’re going to give him the ball until he throws up.” Hackett was speaking about Buffalo Bills running back C.J. Spiller, but it’s an approach SU should take with Jerome Smith and Prince-Tyson Gulley.

Smith and Gulley are far-off the Orange’s two most valuable assets on offense. They’re listed as co-owners of the top spot on the Orange’s depth chart released on Monday, and will be the safety valves for SU’s inexperienced quarterbacks.

This year’s Syracuse team isn’t going to win by throwing the ball 36 times a game like last year’s team did. But what it does have is a stable of capable running backs so deep that two quality backs have been relegated to kick return duty.

Smith, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards last year, will likely get the bulk of the carries. Gulley probably won’t be too far behind, and George Morris II and Devante McFarlane, the Orange’s ball-carrying stars of the spring and summer, respectively, will see some as well, while also handling kick returns.

With uncertainty at the quarterback posi-tion, it’s not hard to imagine both Smith and Gulley topping the 1,000-yard mark.

Syracuse is going to see plenty of eight-man fronts, but without any established quarter-backs the Orange isn’t going to have any choice

— it’s just going to have to try to run through them. And then try again.Smart quarterback playRyan Nassib ain’t walking through that door. He’s gone, and so is Syracuse’s high-octane, pass-first offense. This year, the offense will be all about the run, and that means the quarter-back should not be taking any risks.

Sure, throw the deep ball every once in a while to keep the defense honest. Maybe run a trick play here and there. But for the most part, keep it simple. Short passes to Jarrod West and Beckett Wales should do the trick.

If Syracuse is going to win games, it will be because of its running backs and defense. The passing attack just needs to be solid and mis-take free. Head coach Scott Shafer said Drew Allen can throw the ball 70 yards in the air. That may be true, and Allen may be a reliable

option, but his No. 1 priority should still be to play it safe and not make mistakes.

During training camp, Allen threw a couple ill-advised passes in an 11-on-11 scrimmage. It was the preseason, but Allen has a better chance of being the yearlong starter if he doesn’t force throws that aren’t there.

Last season Nassib threw 471 passes. That’s about 36 per game. This year, whether it’s Allen or Terrel Hunt calling the shots, that number should dip to around 25 or 30.

This year, the number of rushes should always be more than the number of passes. If Syracuse can do that, while keeping the defense on its toes at the same time, it should have a chance to finish around .500.

limbs,” Crume said, “so I’m just trying to be a technician and use the power and the strength I have.”

Power and strength aren’t issues at all, though. In fact, they’re Crume’s forte. His impressive physical build and improved tech-nique make him an imposing threat for Syra-cuse. Working alongside Bromley the past three seasons has helped Crume overcome his short limbs.

This year he’ll be counted on as a staple of Syracuse’s defensive line.

“He’s still good,” Bromley said. “He’s still as strong as an ox, so that helps him out.”

Crume, who calls himself 6 feet, 1 inch despite the fact that his roster bio marks him at 6 feet and Bromley said he’s certainly no taller than that, only started playing football in high school. But once he started, Crume blazed through the competition in Detroit, earning recognition as a Division IV All-State selection.

He lined up at defensive tackle, defensive end and offensive guard, leading Detroit Central High School to three league championships. Crume was only a two-star recruit out of high school, his short limbs serving as a deterrent to some prestigious programs. Defensive line coach Tim Daoust said Crume got onto the field during his freshman year out of necessity.

Last season, as a sophomore, he saw time in 12 games. Everything started to click as Crume figured out how to use his semi-stocky build to his advantage.

“If he stands up he’s still as tall as the short-est offensive lineman,” Bromley said. “He has great leverage.”

Instead of lining up at pad level like most linemen, Crume starts out standing nearly straight up. He knives through offensive lines seamlessly and his physique doesn’t deter him from applying pressure on the quarterback.

Crume has big shoes to fill with the depar-ture of Deon Goggins, but Daoust believes he will do just fine.

“Eric is a tough, hardworking kid,” Daoust said. “He fights for his position up there on the defensive line.”

Crume said playing for Daoust gets him fired up. The feisty, intense Daoust loses his voice with regularity. If Daoust could strap on pads and play, Crume said the coach would do so in a heartbeat.

“As a person you can get the best out of yourself,” Crume said, “but you need somebody to push you over the top.”

Perhaps Crume can complement Bromley to form a lethal one-two punch and push the Syracuse defensive line over the top. The duo has played together for two-plus years now and often practice together when Daoust drills the D-line.

When Crume warms up by reaching forward and grabbing a teammate’s shoulders with the opposite hand, Bromley is that teammate. When Crume pushes Orange mats forward in practice, he’s pushing them into Bromley’s gut. When he glides underneath the droopy trampoline in the end zone at practice, Bromley’s often by his side.

“It makes it easier for me,” Crume said, “and hopefully I make it easier on him by producing.”

Bromley cited Crume’s conditioning and pursuit of the ball as two of his strong suits. He also said Crume’s football IQ has gotten better every year and he’s now better at read-ing offenses.

Though he teases Crume, Bromley has noth-ing but love for his teammate. Crume has gotten used to the jokes and will be counted on to

produce against Penn State on Saturday and for the rest of the season.

“It really doesn’t bother me,” Crume said, looking off into the distance. “I just tell them I get the job done, so it’s all fun and games.”

That is, until he gets on the field. [email protected]

Depth chart lists Morris as top KRBy David Wilson

SPORTS EDITOR

Even a pre-Penn State depth chart released on Monday failed to bring any clarity to Syracuse’s cloudy quarterback situation.

Terrel Hunt and Drew Allen are still listed as co-owners of the top quarterback spot. So, just as Scott Shafer has planned for the past few weeks, the Orange’s starter will be

unannounced until kickoff against the Nittany Lions on Saturday at MetLife Stadium in East Ruther-ford, N.J.

Perhaps the most notable change on the entire depth chart, though, is running back George Morris II’s addition as SU’s start-ing kick returner. Shafer said he likes running backs to return kicks, so he’s replaced wide receiv-er Jeremiah Kobena, who previ-

ously occupied that spot. Running back Devante McFarlane is listed on the second team, where he will replace Wayne Morgan.

The only other change on offense since the last time a depth chart was released in July at the Atlantic Coast Conference Football Kickoff in Greensboro, N.C., is that Jerome Smith or Prince-Tyson Gulley are listed as the starting running backs.

Short-armed Crume flashing potential on Orange D-line

By Trevor HassASST. SPORTS EDITOR

By no means is Eric Crume small. His menacing 305-pound frame stands out right away.

But according to the 6-foot junior

defensive tackle, his teammates often jab at him for having short, “alli-gator-esque” arms. With 6-foot-4 Jay Bromley and 6-foot-5 John Raymon standing next to him on the line, the lighthearted teasing makes a little more sense.

Pressuring the passer

The success of the Syracuse defense hinges almost solely on getting to the quarterback. Defen-sive tackle Jay Bromley said when the Orange brings at least five players on the rush they should get into the backfield within three seconds. If not, SU’s questionable secondary will get burned.

The Orange ranked 62nd out of 120 Division-I teams in passing defense last season, allowing more than 3,000 yards through the air. Now without star safety Shamarko Thomas, start-ers Durell Eskridge and Jeremi Wil-kes are Syracuse’s last line of defense. It is possible defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough uses heavy doses of three-cornerback sets to keep Keon Lyn, Ri’Shard Anderson and Bran-don Reddish on the field.

Regardless, SU’s blitz packages will have a lot of pressure on them this season.

Most of that onus falls on the front four. Considering linebackers Dyshawn Davis, Marquis Spruill and Cameron Lynch are just about as complete a linebacking corps as there is in the Atlantic Coast Conference, it will be up to Bromley and three new starters to create opportunities for the backers to get into the backfield.

Junior defensive ends Micah Rob-inson and Robert Welsh, and junior defensive tackle Eric Crume have a combined one-start between the three of them. None of them stepped up as a secondary threat in training camp. While Bromley said the group looked solid throughout training camp, solid might not be enough

FROM TOP: DYSHAWN DAVIS, JEROME SMITH AND DREW ALLEN will be three key components for the Orange this season. Syracuse will need to pressure the passer, rely on its run game and receive smart play from its quarterbacks to succeed in its inaugural season in the ACC.
