Committee’s report urges caution in exploration of veteran-focused med school

By Justin Mattingly news editor

A

report given to Chancellor Kent Syverud in late October urges university leadership to exercise caution in making a decision on whether to pursue the idea of a veteran-focused medical school at Syracuse University.

The report, obtained by The Daily Orange, was given to Syverud on Oct. 23 by the 21-person Faculty Advisory Committee appointed in September to look further into the proposition to establish a veteran-focused college of medicine at the university. Throughout the 107-page report, the committee considers the idea “transformative,” but expresses caution, saying it “includes considerable risk.”

The idea of the veteran-focused medical school was announced in August. The school would be the first of its kind in the U.S. and would train doctors and health care professionals to work at Veterans Administration hospitals across the country. The VA is projecting a shortage of 22,000 doctors over the next 10 to 15 years, according to the report. The students would go to SU tuition-free, similar to

SU proposes creation of resource complex in effort to continue strong bond with veterans

By Justin Mattingly news editor

Syracuse University is proposing the creation of a National Veterans Resource Complex to help “solidify” central New York as the “hub” of research and programming connected to veterans and military affairs.

A 107-page report filed on Oct. 23 to Chancellor Kent Syverud as part of SU’s idea of a veteran-focused medical school discussed the creation of the complex, which would serve as the center of veteran life on the SU campus,

according to the report, which was obtained by The Daily Orange.

The idea for the hub, which would serve as the center of veteran life on the SU campus, is mentioned in the report.

The NVRC, which is discussed in the appendix section of the report, would use a public-private sector partnership model, according to the report, meaning that the complex would be a joint effort by both public institutions like the federal government and private institutions like SU.

TATTOO tuesday | collin newberg

Arrows symbolize ability to remain patient

a.m.

noon hi 68° lo 42°

By Lizzie Michael staff writer

Freshman Collin Newberg got his tattoo in order to remind himself that sometimes, patience is the key to overcoming adversities. The tattoo, which he got after his high school graduation last June, shows two arrows pointing in opposite directions.

The reason for the arrows, Newberg said, is that they represent how patience can be the best way to overcome a situation: sometimes you have to let yourself draw back, like an arrow, in order to shoot forward.

“If I’m ever feeling down, I can look at that tattoo and remember the metaphor for which it stands for, and be like, ‘Oh ok, I’ll get through this,’” Newberg said.

Now a public relations major at Syracuse University, Newberg said his high school experience, specifically his emotionally abusive drama club director and his AP classes, dragged his arrow backwards for the last four years.

Newberg had the same director for all of high school.

The director would scream offensive remarks at rehearsal every day

to intimidate the actors, Newberg said, and he’d use unkind tactics, such as humiliating a student in front of the entire cast in order to make a point.

Yet despite the frustration his director caused him and his friends, Newberg said he knew he

had to push past the behavior in order to keep doing what he loved.

He used the patience he gained from drama club to persevere through the year until the AP tests were over. After that, Newberg said, he was finally able to relax and get his mental health back to normal.

Now that he’s at SU, Newberg said he finally feels like his arrow has been shot forward.

“Changing momentum in my life, and focusing on college, really helped me get over high school,” Newberg said.

“I love it here; it’s so much better.” emmichae@syr.edu

Despite the fact that this year is not a presidential or congressional election year, Syracuse University faculty and staff are continuing to give to political campaigns.

As of Sunday, people who list SU as their primary employer have donated a total of $25,685 in 2015 to political campaigns and organizations during the non-congressional or presidential election year, according to OpenSecrets.org.

Compared to 2013, the last non-congressional or presidential election year, SU employees have given $5,135 more this year.

In 2013, SU employees donated $20,550 to political campaigns and organizations, according to OpenSecrets.org.

In total, the Finance Board received roughly $150,000 in requests during budget appeals and it allocated roughly $43,000 to recognized student organizations for the spring 2016 semester. RSOs that had funding requests fully denied in the original budget proposals were eligible to file appeals. Reasons for being fully denied ranged from RSOs not providing a proof of costs with their proposals to RSOs not appearing at their budget hearings.

overview all 1,649 SU faculty members were sent a survey to give their feedback relating to the proposition. The survey garnered about 330 submissions over a two-week period, according to the report. That feedback is included anonymously in the report, along with the committee’s own thoughts.

Over the course of seven weeks, the committee met six times with the first meeting being convened in early September. The committee was chaired by University Professor Sean O’Keefe, who previously served as the Secretary of the Navy, NASA administrator and chancellor of Louisiana State University.

During the six meetings, which were all attended by Interim Vice Chancellor and Provost Liz Liddy, the committee looked at different aspects relating to the idea, including collaborative research opportunities, faculty impact and student considerations, but throughout the report, financing was the biggest topic. Faculty and committee members expressed concern that a new medical school would take away resources and funding from other university schools and institutes.

In the report, the committee lays out 10 findings, the second of which says that a “necessary condition” of the medical school would be that the economic model be self-sustaining and “does not diminish existing programs, schools and colleges.”

The university has said that a combination of state money, federal money and philanthropic support must be present to make pursuing the school viable. In the report, there is skepticism over whether or not those elements of support can be secured to make the school self-sustaining.

Included in the second finding is a view that the idea should be considered within some of SU’s current initiatives, such as Fast Forward, Syverud’s main initiative. In the report, committee members and faculty members showed concern that the strategic planning currently being done by the university would be set aside to make room for the

pursuit of the medical school, if that is the decision that is made.

The committee also discussed whether “further entanglement with the federal establishment” could “compromise” the culture and mission of the university.

“The overriding concern is expressed by the view that the further we travel down this path, the more likely we are to become less like a university and more like a defense contractor,” the committee wrote in the report.

The committee added that relationships with federal institutions would be necessary, but does highlight a potential risk.

Other members of the committee and faculty believe the university’s image could be negatively altered from a ranking as a “top tier institution of higher education in the fields of social science and humanities to a confusion amalgamation of disciplines with no central grounding,” according to the report.

Institutional limitations were also a point of discussion, according to the report. Some members are concerned about the physical limitations of campus. The university is currently working on its Campus Master Plan, which will provide SU a framework for how it will go about architectural decisions in the future.

When the idea for the new school originally came out on Aug. 6, there were reports that SUNY Upstate Medical University was not on board with the plan, and according to Syracuse. com, Upstate Interim President Dr. Gregory Eastwood wrote to Syverud and called the idea “harmful.” SU met with Eastwood in mid-July to address Upstate’s concerns, according to the report filed by the SU faculty committee.

During the meeting, SU senior administrators “made clear” that the idea would not detract from the mission of Upstate, the report said.

The committee also said in the report there is a substantial need to communicate with the SU community what exactly the idea for the veteran-focused medical school is.

According to the executive summaries from two of the committee’s meetings, members were to explore the possibility of Syverud providing an update on the committee’s work and the idea as a whole in his communication with the community. While it is unclear if the committee went to Syverud with the idea of providing an update to the community, the chancellor has not mentioned the idea on his “Bleeding Orange” blog and the last SU News release about the medical school was the announcement of the committee.

The committee did not make any set recommendations in its report.

“At minimum, the findings reflected in this report suggests that much more work will be required if you (Syverud) elect to move forward,” the report said. jmatting@syr.edu | @jmattingly306

tuition-free, similar to the approach used by ROTC, with the funding coming from external sources such as the VA and private donors.

The NVRC would serve as the home of SU’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families, which has grown into one of the best institutes for veterans in the U.S. and is the crown jewel of SU’s efforts to help veterans. Over a threeweek stretch earlier this year, the institute received a total of $8.5 million in funding from three companies.

According to recent project descriptions from the Central New York Regional Economic Development Councils, the Veterans Resource

faculty response and from feedback inquiries conducted within the committee members’ respective university departments. In the report, about 50 pages are dedicated to faculty comments.

The idea for a veteran-focused medical school was made public by SU in August. The college would accept 40 to 60 undergraduate students tuition-free on a commitment that the students will serve in VA hospitals across the U.S. upon graduation — a concept comparable to the ROTC. The potential partnership with the Veterans Administration medical system is due to the VA’s projected 22,000-doctor shortage within the next 10 years.

The premise that this will not negatively impact SU finances and that it can be funded entirely by external sources is, to be kind, delusional.

Anonymous SU faculty member

The survey first asked faculty to indicate their individual assessment of the potential impact the creation of a college of medicine at SU could have in four areas: research, student recruitment, faculty recruitment and retention and campus life.

Although the results of the first question were favorable or neutral in the establishment of a college of medicine by a 2:1 ratio compared with opposing views, according to the report, many faculty members took issue with the committee’s assumption that the college would be self-sustaining, or, in other words, exclusively funded by donations and grants from the federal government.

Faculty members were able to list these concerns in the second and third questions of the survey, which provided space for faculty members to elaborate on their responses and discuss other issues and factors they think university leadership should take into consideration when making the decision of whether to establish such a college.

The fact that the financial dent of the college — based on both infrastructure costs and the recruitment, retention and support of faculty members — was not disclosed to faculty members was a grievance commonly expressed in responses, according to the report. The report also shows that those who think the total cost of the college is insufficiently understood believe it is realistic to estimate the cost per faculty member at $2 million to $3 million,

The project would be a university-community collaboration, according to the description. The grant amount requested to the CNY Regional Economic Development Councils was $2 million, according to the description. The total project cost is estimated at $62.5 million, according to the SU faculty committee report.

The NVRC would include a regional student veterans’ resource center, which would serve as a “one-stop-shop” supporting the needs of

according to the report.

“The premise that this will not negatively impact SU finances and that it can be funded entirely by external sources is, to be kind, delusional,” one response read.

Other faculty members wondered why the university would undertake the challenge of establishing a medical school when, as one response read, its “student caliber continues to plummet.”

Although Syverud made clear in his April 2014 inauguration speech that two of his goals are to enhance the undergraduate experience and to restore SU as the best place for veterans to gain a college education, some faculty members indicated in their responses that he has bigger fish to fry before thinking about creating a veteran-focused medical school.

“Managing this broken institution back to health is enough for this or any chancellor,” the second response read, adding that the chancellor already has a full plate. “The medical school is an unnecessary diversion.”

The responses to the survey regarding research were mostly positive,. Some feedback indicated that the establishment of the college could add to the prestige of SU, create multiple research opportunities that are not currently available to the university, increase enrollment of pre-med undergraduates and provide experiential learning opportunities for students, according to the report.

Other faculty members expressed concerns that the college would hurt neighboring medical schools and hospitals, such as the State University of New York Upstate Medical University.

“Why pick a fight with Upstate? How is this being a good neighbor?” one response read.

“We would be the smallest metro area in the nation with two medical schools. How well would that work?”

Faculty concerns went beyond funding, research and competition, though. Other faculty members worried that the university would become a “defense contractor” to the National Security State, according to one response, and that greater integration between SU and the Department of Defense would “subordinate the academic mission of the university to security interests furthering the corporate and business models already adopted at SU (with questionable success).”

Another concern raised was that the college could be a way for the university to “use veterans to garner federal defense and security funds.” Others said the school seems like a way to “capitalize on veterans” and that the plan itself is “little more than an opportunistic way for the university to make money.” “… In modern times, the optics of close association of universities with the military and the politics of war might hurt its reputation, at least internationally,” one response read. atorrens@syr.edu

editorial board

University should strongly consider creation of veteran complex Even if Syracuse University does not move forward with the creation of a veteran-focused medical school, it should continue to pursue the establishment of the National Veterans Resource Complex.

The university is proposing the creation of a National Veterans Resource Complex to help establish central New York as the “hub” of research and programming in regard to veterans and military affairs, according to a report from the Faculty Advisory Committee charged

by Chancellor Kent Syverud with assessing the feasibility of a veteran-focused medical school.

If the university were to move for-

ward with the complex, the veteran-focused medical school idea would be considered as a potential branch of the NVRC. But the complex is a legitimate proposal in itself that would make SU the national center for veterans resources and is worth exploring independent of the medical school concept.

The NVRC would serve as the center of veteran life on the SU campus and would include a regional student veterans’ resource center, a conference center and a 1,000-seat auditorium, among other things.

The complex would also house eight tenants, including the Office of Veteran and Military Affairs and SU’s Institute for Veterans and Military

Families, according to the report.

The complex is a broader initiative that a significant population of the university community can get behind, whereas the medical school narrowly focused on a specific type of support that would only involve a very niche group of the university community.

Although the financing of the estimated $62.5 million total project cost is unclear at this time, securing funding to make the proposal a reality should not be a concern. The complex should still be strongly considered when it is projected to generate “hundreds of high-paying jobs” and more than $300 million in regional economic activity over the next five years,

according to the committee’s report.

However, the university should remain conscious of the ways in which the proposal affects existing plans and proposals that are in flux under the Campus Master Plan. According to recent project descriptions from the Central New York Regional Economic Development Council, the Veterans Resource Complex would be housed at 111 Waverly Ave., which currently houses SU Health Services.

There must be a comprehensive plan that takes into account exactly what will happen to health services if the NVRC proposal is implemented, considering there were talks of possibly turning the building into a central

hub for sexual assault resources at a time when spatial problems are a significant factor in university planning.

If SU chooses to not move forward with either the medical school or veterans complex, it should enact some of the ideas within the proposal in efforts to remain in line with its mission to aiding veterans through advancements in research and program resources.

Regardless of whether or not the university chooses to bring a veteran-focused medical school to campus, it must acknowledge that the creation of a National Veterans Resource Complex is a feasible opportunity that would once again place SU at the national forefront of veteran support.

With so much bad press, even Generation Y has a bad impression of itself. A recent Pew Research Center study found that millennials have a significantly more negative view of their generation as compared to members of Generation X, baby boomers or other age groups.

However, there seems to be an underappreciated factor at play: the rise of technology has likely contributed heavily to society’s negative assessments of Generation Y. Today’s young people have grown up in a cyber-spotlight and Yeti serves as yet another platform to advertise indecency. For better or for worse, millennials were the first to grow up with the means to so easily publicize the sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll that are so cross-generationally a characteristic of youth.

Had an app like Yeti existed for older generations, it probably would

They couldn’t share it, but that does not mean it didn’t happen.

If the technology had been available to them, there likely would have been sexting via Snapchat and drug abuse on Yeti long before millennials.

Though it is shocking to see such hard evidence of some young people’s bad behavior, it is clear that it’s not unique to those under the age of 35.

What is new is the mainstream use of technology. Today’s young people have the ability to personally document the good, the bad and the ugly like no other generation before.

Twenty-somethings have long been considered young and reckless by their elders — the difference is that now we have the evidence right on our phone screens.

Members debate inclusion of race in DPS safety emails

By Michael Burke staff writer

During a public safety town hall meeting at Syracuse University on Monday, Department of Public Safety Chief Bobby Maldonado discussed whether it would be appropriate for DPS to include ethnicity and race in suspect descriptions in its public safety notice emails.

The discussion was prompted by Student Association President Aysha Seedat, who thought to ask Maldonado about the issue after reading a letter to the editor published by The Daily Orange on Oct. 28. The author of the letter, Matthew McReynolds, a Class of 2016 master of public administration candidate, argued that if DPS were to include ethnicity in its descriptions, it would “greatly improve the

donations totaled $27,220, according to data from Syracuse. com/The Post-Standard and OpenSecrets.org.

2014 was a congressional election year.

The SU employee who has donated the most to political campaigns and organizations this year is Sean O’Keefe, a university professor and former NASA administrator.

He said that every candidate he donates to, he knows personally.

O’Keefe’s donations this year include $2,700 to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ); $2,700 to

likelihood that the perpetrator might actually be identified and apprehended.”

At SA’s Monday night meeting in Maxwell Auditorium, Seedat sought the assembly’s thoughts on the issue, sparking a roughly 30-minute discussion. Additionally, the assembly voted to officially take a stance to support bringing Uber, a ride-sharing service, to Syracuse.

The Jeanne Clery Act, a federal law signed in 1990, requires all colleges and universities that receive federal funding to disclose information about crimes that occur on and near campus.

However, it does not require schools to include ethnicity or race in suspect descriptions.

DPS stopped including suspects’ races in public safety notices in March 2013 after a group of multiracial students complained to former DPS Chief Tony Callisto, who is

now SU’s senior vice president and chief law enforcement officer, and Thomas Wolfe, then-senior vice president and dean of SU’s Division of Student Affairs, according to a Syracuse.com article. The students said they felt marginalized and said the notices often described the suspect as being “a young black male in a hoodie,” according to the article.

When Seedat asked assembly members for their opinions on the subject, the responses were mixed. Some members felt that disclosing a suspect’s race would help identify the suspect, while others were skeptical and worried that it could lead to issues of racial profiling. Callisto said in the Syracuse.com article that the racial descriptor hadn’t helped DPS identify suspects.

Seedat said the issue isn’t something the assembly will necessarily take a stance on and

that she simply wanted to gauge the assembly members’ feelings on the matter on Monday.

Later in the meeting, the discussion turned to Uber and a letter that SA may send to the New York State Assembly and Senate requesting that the state change its laws so ride-sharing services, such as Uber, would be legalized in the city of Syracuse.

The assembly did not vote on whether it would approve the letter, which was drafted

by Seedat, but it did vote to take a stance supporting the legalization of Uber in Syracuse.

Before next week’s meeting, Seedat said she will be making minor edits to the letter. The assembly will then vote to either approve or disapprove sending it to the New York State Assembly and Senate.

former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; $5,000 to Right to Rise PAC, the leading independent super PAC supporting Jeb Bush’s campaign for president, according to the Right to Rise Super PAC website; $5,000 to Right to Rise USA, the same Right to Rise Super PAC; $1,000 to Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and $1,000 to Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA).

“I want to help (candidates) who aren’t just (running) because they can — they’re running because they think it’s important,” O’Keefe said.

“It worries me that the only people that are capable of leading us are the ones who can’t afford it.”

He said donating to political campaigns is

an opportunity the public has to encourage and promote leaders who are stepping up and can do the task independently of whether or not they can afford to run.

“Campaign finances are a necessary evil. The laws make it so difficult to raise the amount it takes to run a campaign,” O’Keefe said.

For Bruce Hudson, a chemistry professor, the campaigns he chooses to donate to are either local or involve candidates that have scientific or technical expertise, he said in an email.

“At any one time there are only one or two Representatives in the House with sufficient expertise to understand what their staff is tell-

ing them,” Hudson said. “My objective was and is to get enough Democrats elected to change the balance in the House. So that we do not have what we have now.”

He added that all of his campaign donations have gone to Democrats in congressional districts where they have (or had) an uphill chance of winning. This year he donated $300 to ActBlue, a PAC that, according to its website, allows the public to donate to progressive and democratic candidates of their choice, and to Rep. Bill Foster (D-IL).

Kristi Andersen, a professor of political science in Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, said she has donated to the campaigns of three or four women through the fundraising site Emily’s List, which puts donors’ money toward the campaigns of Democratic, pro-choice women, according to its website.

Andersen said she plans to give more directly to candidates for the 2016 presidential election next year. She is “waiting to see what happens” right now in the primaries.

“I like my money to have some impact,” Andersen said. “If I were to give to someone for the primaries and they do not win the candidacy, then it’s not a good investment on my part.”

Jerrel Burgo, coordinator of mentoring programs for the Office of Multicultural Affairs, gave $10 to the Democratic National Committee Service Corporation this year.

“I try to give a little bit when I can, because I think, generally speaking, people don’t pay attention to national politics or politics in general outside of the presidential election cycle.

Which I think is unfortunate,” Burgo said.

Burgo added that to him, it is just as important to donate when the party is electing a new congressperson or a new senator as it is to give to a local campaign because those people are making laws that affect the people in the local county or city.

When he is feeling generous, or particularly patriotic, Burgo said that is when he will donate to a particular cause. Especially, he said, when there is a big topic that comes up, like a major Supreme Court case that has been decided on.

“I try to give those little amounts because you know what they say ‘every penny counts,’ so that’s what I do towards the causes I feel that I agree with or support,” Burgo said. “… Just to be involved in the political process, in someway shape or form, is making a difference.”

SU professors discuss implications of Clinton’s Benghazi Committee testimony

By Satoshi Sugiyama staff writer

D

HILLARY CLINTON speaks on Sept. 12, 2012 following an attack in Benghazi, Libya that left four Americans dead. Clinton, then serving as secretary of state, testified in front of a congressional committee in late October about the incident. courtesy of state department

emocratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton testified in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Oct. 22. The committee is investigating the 2012 U.S. compound attack that took place in Benghazi, Libya where four Americans were killed. Being grilled by lawmakers, Clinton defended her response to the attack.

The Daily Orange spoke to Shana Gadarian, assistant professor of political science and Kristi Andersen, professor of political science in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs about the outcome of the hearing.

The Daily Orange: What was your reaction to the hearing?

Shana Gadarian: I think that this is the Benghazi Committee … we’ve seen one in the Senate and now we’ve seen one in the House and this is an issue that has been perhaps overwrought in terms of the amount of new information we gained from 11 hours of testimony from Hillary Clinton about this incident, which, while important, is probably its importance has gotten more attention and has been perhaps overblown compared to other areas that could be investigated.

Kristi Andersen: I think that Clinton handled herself very well. I mean, she never got flustered, she never got defensive. She sort of rolled her eyes, but she kept to her narrative which was, “I’ve thought about this, I’ve wondered about what I could do differently, we should’ve done differently, but at the same time, people who go into the diplomatic service know that they may be in danger and this was a horrible circumstance, but I didn’t do anything wrong.”

The D.O.: What has the committee discovered so far?

K.A.: They seem to be focusing on two things: One is kind of timing during when this attack on the embassy was happening and (second is) what information the State Department and

the Obama administration were giving out as to who was behind this and what was happening. … The deal was whether it was people, a protest over this anti-Muslim video, which had gotten out of hand or whether it was independent of that, planned by elements of al-Qaeda or other groups.

The D.O.: Do you think the objectives of the committee have been met?

S.G.: It’s hard for me to say that what a full and complete investigation would be like but it’s more than just bringing Secretary Clinton. … Again I am not sure it’s completely reached the objectives but I don’t believe it is just partisanship. There are real questions about what happened in Benghazi.

K.A.: Unfortunately, I am not sure it has because presumably what the goal of such an investigation, if it was done thoroughly and well, would be was to say, “What we’ve learned from this and what could we do to prevent this from happening again?” And my sense is, I have not listened to every one of these, is that they never focused on that, they were always focusing on the culpability of Clinton and people in the State Department rather than more general questions.

The D.O.: What are repercussions of the hearing on Clinton’s presidential campaign?

S.G.: It depends on who you are. I think for Democrats, they are unlikely to see Benghazi as a big negative issue for Clinton as she runs for president. Because of this perception that what this committee is doing is really using this as a partisan game, that allows Democrats to say, “Well Benghazi, while again tragic as not really an issue that we should be evaluating Clinton on, she did her job as a secretary of state.” I think for Republicans, the continuing salience of the committee is going to allow them to work with this kind of train of thought that Clinton isn’t trustworthy and she misspoke or she lied or she was trying to cover up what was happening in after the terrorist attack. ssugiyam@syr.edu

A four-year veteran-focused medical school developed collaboratively between Syracuse University and the Veterans Administration would provide an economic boost and address a VA physician shortage, according to a leading economic impact research firm.

In a 107-page report compiled by the Faculty Advisory Committee that was created to assess the feasibility of a veteran-focused college of medicine and obtained by The Daily Orange, the committee raises several findings. A few of those acknowledge that SU must assess the economic effect that moving forward with the college of medicine would have on the university’s existing programs and resources.

A separate portion of the report addresses the economic impact the new school could bring to central New York and New York state. That separate report, commissioned in August by SU and completed in October by Tripp Umbach, a leading economic impact research firm, stated the proposed four-year medical school would have a largely positive economic influence on the area, potentially creating thousands of jobs and generating millions of dollars in revenue.

Tripp Umbach stated in its report that the best way to adequately address the physician shortage at the VA and have the greatest economic impact

on New York state is through the collaborative development of a four-year veteran-focused medical school between SU and the VA. This approach presents the university and the state with the best opportunity to develop a new, independent, four-year medical school in Syracuse without taking resources away from SUNY Upstate Medical University or other medical schools in the state, according to the report.

That conclusion is based on five supporting reasons, including SU’s track record of service to veterans and their families, its strength in other health science programs and its future research growth potential, according to the report.

Tripp Umbach estimates that a new, four-year medical school developed by SU, in partnership with the VA, could have a total annual economic impact to New York state of $140 million in 2020 when the medical school opens. That number increases to $520 million in 2025 and $800 million in 2030, according to the report.

In terms of jobs, the school could support 950 jobs by 2020, 3,500 jobs by 2025 and 5,200 jobs by the year 2030, according to the report.

Tripp Umbach also estimates that the proposed medical school could generate $7 million in 2020, $26 million in 2025 and $40 million by 2030 in state and local tax revenue, according to the report. blsamuel@syr.edu | @Brett_Samuels27

Sophomore gives back to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation through art

By Lizzie Michael staff writer

I

t’s never easy for sophomore Carly Lindmeier to make the trek to her classes. After surmounting just one hill, her lungs are already working hard, she’s out of breath, and on the bad days, she needs to stop and recover.

It may seem that Lindmeier is simply out-of-shape, but as a California-born surfer, she’s not. Her struggle is the result of Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic dis-

ease she was diagnosed with at just three months old.

Cystic Fibrosis affects primarily the lungs and digestive system. It causes the body to produce sticky, excessive mucus that clogs airways and is easily and often infected. According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, around 30,000 people are living with CF in the United States, and the median lifespan is about 40 years. To cope, Lindmeier began 65 Wooden Roses last July, a company that sells decorative

monograms to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Upon coming to Syracuse as a communication sciences and disorders major, Lindmeier said the first few weeks were extremely difficult on her lungs. Although it’s gotten better, she still spends much of her day taking care of herself. CF maintenance includes pills, sinus rinses, breathing treatments and a vibrating vest to dislodge the mucus, among many other regimens.

“Every day is sort of a roller-coaster,” she said.

Lindmeier’s mother, Lori Lindmeier, said that even when she was little, Lindmeier was able

to manage many of her treatments on her own.

“My attitude was always to raise her to be very independent — to never be a victim,” Lori Lindmeier said.

Despite the positive attitude

she has now, Lindmeier said she spent much of high school in a dark place. Her lowest point came when she was 15 years old, when her friend Emily Haager died from CF at the age of 27. see lindmeier page 10

SU MFA creative writing graduate talks co-editing collection

By Laritza Salazar staff writer

Syracuse University’s MFA creative writing program, established nearly 50 years ago, only admits a group of six fiction writers and six poets a year.

One graduate from the program,

Jeff Parker, wrote the introduction for “A Manner of Being,” a collection of essays from modern contemporary writers.

Parker, who graduated in 1999, along with 2013 graduate Annie Liontas, worked as co-editors on the book.

Together they worked with the contrib-

utors to craft the collection of essays about writers and their mentors. The contributing authors include past SU professor Tobias Wolff, and current SU faculty Arthur Flowers and George Saunders. The New Yorker released Saunders’ section of the novel Oct. 22.

The book, set to release in Decem-

ber, contains anecdotes and experiences. Parker’s introduction provides a glimpse into not just the book, but the rippled effects of a writing education.

The D.O.: How did you come about the opportunity to write the introduction for “A Manner of Being?”

Jeff Parker: A couple years ago, Arthur Flowers brought a bunch of MFA alums back to Syracuse. He spent all his research money on us when he could have used it to go to Acapulco and write his next book. While there, I met then-current student Annie Liontas see q&a page 10

close. They were both outgoing and they loved to surf.

When Haager died, Lindmeier sunk into a depression. Not only was Haager the first person to die from CF that Lindmeier knew, she was also her most significant mentor in life up until that point, Lindmeier said.

“It’s scary because I’ve seen a lot of people go from healthy to horrible in an instant, so I spent a lot of time just dwelling on that, and thinking, ‘What if I don’t have that much time?’” Lindmeier said.

This period of depression lasted through the end of high school, she said. However, a moment of closure did come soon after Haager died. Lindmeier was taking a career test for a class, where she attempted to sway her answers toward being a doctor.

Yet even with her biased answers, the first career that came up in her results was sign-language interpreter. This seemed like a sign, Lindmeier said, because that was Haager’s major in college.

“It’s such a weird story to tell, because I remember looking at the results and thinking, ‘This is wrong. It’s supposed to be doctor,’” she said.

After high school, Lindmeier spent two years at community college in her hometown of Orange, California. In January of this year, while creating decorative monograms for her grandparent’s birthdays, she realized she could turn this craft project into a business.

Lindmeier started to create more and more monograms, with each one taking 30 minutes for her to handcraft. The monograms are made from wooden letters and are covered with either a rustic burlap-and-paint design, or with a flowery base and either pink or purple flowers on top.

“She surprised me with the [business]. I had no idea that she was even doing it,” said Eric Lindmeier, Carly’s father. “And then one day there she was; she had put together a plan … I look at Google maps, and there’s our house, and it says ‘65 Wooden Roses’ on it.”

To further give back to the CF community, she decided to name every monogram design after friends of hers who have died from CF. Naturally, Emily Haager was honored with a design, as were

and we became fast friends. I had been collecting the essays since 2011 but I told her about the project and it spoke to her as it spoke to me and she came aboard bringing in some excellent pieces and taking the book to a whole new level. In a lot of ways, it’s a love letter to the profession of teaching creative writing but particularly the profession of teaching creative writing at Syracuse. There are quite a few past and present Syracuse folk in the book besides Annie and I, among them Arthur Flowers, Mary Gaitskill, George Saunders, Deb Olin Unferth, Tobias Wolff and Douglas Unger who wrote the essay from which we took the anthology’s title.

The D.O.: Do you have a favorite piece from the book?

J.P.: I can’t pick a favorite. I like them all — they all riff on different aspects of the relationship that to varying degrees speak to me. Part of the idea behind the book was to have a lot of raw, short pieces that addressed some essential something that writers got from working with their mentors.

her friends Heather, Alexandria and Kenna.

In the beginning, Lindmeier’s only customers were family, friends and acquaintances within the CF community. After a local newspaper did an article on her, however, Lindmeier said that orders from strangers began to come in.

“To see her up there just grabbing life by the horns and running with it, and then spreading the word so that people understand … it’s just very touching to me as her mom,” Lori Lindmeier said.

I constantly see (Lindmeier) supporting others who battle with CF and it just shows how caring she is.

Jenn Paxton

u.s. air force medic and 65 wooden roses customer

Her parents said that the move to Syracuse from California has been “so exciting” and that they are proud of her for always being concerned about others’ well being.

Jenn Paxton, a medic in the U.S. Air Force in Japan and one of Lindmeier’s customers, said the designs are a super cute and creative way to raise awareness for CF. “I would just like to say how strong and selfless a person Carly is,” Paxton said. “I constantly see her supporting others who battle with CF and it just shows how caring she is.”

Twenty percent of Lindmeier’s proceeds go towards the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to help research cures, such as a new drug called Orkambi that was approved by the FDA last July.

Lindmeier has been using Orkambi for a few weeks now. Although it was difficult at first, she said, she feels better and is optimistic for her future.

“In high school I was just so obsessed with the numbers associated with CF. The median life expectancy for someone with CF is around 40 years old,” Lindmeier said. “I used to get so caught up with that, and caught up with people getting sick and people I know passing away. I never thought I would be here.

I’m just really excited to be here.” emmichae@syr.edu

The D.O.: What authors in the book have had the biggest influence on you or your writing?

J.P.: For me, it was the writers who I knew personally at some point: Mary Caponegro and Arthur Flowers and George Saunders and Padgett Powell, who often said that one of the most instructive ways to learn about writing was slightly subversive: By listening to what your writing teachers say about writing, Powell said, and comparing that to what they do about it.

The D.O.: How was the process of writing the introduction of “A Manner of Being?” How long did you work on it?

J.P.: It took me forever, and I’m still unhappy with it. So thank you for the opportunity to say here what I wished I’d said there: I learned a ton about writing at Syracuse, more than I could ever process or make good on in a lifetime, but more importantly even than that, I learned there what it meant to be an artist in the world.

The D.O.: What works do you hope to be involved in the near future?

J.P.: I like books, and I plan to continue making them as long as I have something to say. lcsalaza@syr.edu

TIMELESS STYLE 4 must-have pieces that changed the fashion world

By Alexis McDonell

Photos by Doris Huang

staff writer

Some people think fashion is stupid — it’s an inadvertent way to support the materialistic nature of society. But really it’s a form of expression, and can change ideals and create discussions on happenings of the decade. Here are four items that changed the fashion world, and the rest of the world, too (and that you should always have in your closet).

1. Leather jackets

You may usually associate your first recollection of a leather jacket to John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in “Grease” or Tom Cruise in “Top Gun,” but the iconic jacket was once part of something bigger than just looking cool. In the 1900s, aviator pilots and other military workers wore leather jackets as a form of protection and to look authoritative. It wasn’t until the latter half of the century that we saw them being worn in movies, which created the cool, slick persona that is now associated with the jacket. As time has gone on, leather jackets have become available in more colors and styles and decorated with arrays of buttons and zippers.

2. Miniskirts

In the 1950s, women were expected to dress just like their mothers: conservative and covered up, wearing full-skirted dresses that only showed their ankles and their hourglass shape. Then, the ‘60s came along with the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War and birth control, shaking everything up. British designer Mary Quant took inspiration from the streets and decided to raise the hemline above the knee. Quant wanted to create something practical, but liberating — such as the ability to freely move your legs in what you were wearing. The miniskirt later became a symbol of women’s right to freedom of expression. Many European countries, however, saw these skirts as an invitation for sexual assault and banned the skirt. But looking at their prevalence today, that was quickly forgotten and miniskirts can be found everywhere.

3. The little black dress

The first LBD appeared on the cover of Vogue in 1926, a drop-waist, long-sleeved dress accented with pearls made by Coco Chanel.

Before the 1920s, black dresses were worn in times of mourning and weren’t to be worn elsewhere. Her new take on fashion made it vastly popular. Then in 1961, Hubert de Givenchy made the iconic sleeveless LBD worn by Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” It was this dress that was featured all over posters for the movie and quickly caught on in the world of fashion. Today, designers from all over include their takes on the LBD in their collections.

4. The high heel

Way back when (and I mean way, way back when) wealthy men wore high heels as a symbol of high social status. It wasn’t until Catherine de Medici in the 16th century wore high heels to make up for her height that women started to wear heels. The real revolution of heels can be contributed to Roger-Henri Vivier in the ‘50s with his creation of the stiletto. Now there are tons of styles, patterns, heights and fabrics to choose from.

All of these items can easily be considered classics, and for a good reason. Each of them were worn for specific purposes, whether it be to create social change, be innovative or to transform a style that used to be worn for something else. No matter the story, each of them has stuck around and probably will for decades to come. admcdone@syr.edu

Alma Fenne is top scorer in 1st and final season at SU

By Liam Sullivan staff writer

Alma Fenne never liked to run. At least that’s what her father Rob Fenne thought before he traveled from his home in the Netherlands to watch his daughter score three goals over a two-win weekend in early October.

Former Dutch and current Syracuse teammate Roos Weers called her “pretty lazy” when they played together long before Fenne came to play her lone college season at SU.

Being a part of this team means so much to me. It’s crazy to think it almost didn’t even happen.

Alma Fenne su forward

During this year, Fenne has improved her fitness, But Fenne’s chance to play at Syracuse almost never happened. She needed to overcome a host of academic, language and travel issues just to play college field hockey.

“Almost every game we played (in the Netherlands), she was the best player on the field,” Weers said, “… but the fact that she almost had her one chance taken away really triggered her to become better.”

Fenne, a graduate student, has made the most of her first and final year of eligibility to finish the regular season tied for a teamhigh 33 points for No. 1 Syracuse (16-0, 6-0 Atlantic Coast). The midfielder-turned-forward has improved her fitness and shooting to elevate SU through its gauntlet of a regular season unscathed and toward the upcoming ACC tournament.

“Being a part of this team means so much to me,” Fenne said. “It’s crazy to think it almost didn’t even happen.”

While finishing her bachelor’s degree in the Netherlands, Fenne was set to play field hockey for Boston College for the 2015 season.

She wanted to leave the days of training three

times a week behind for the promise of training at least five days a week in better facilities.

Following an injury in February, BC needed to recruit a back instead, and Fenne was left to search for a new team in need of her services.

In a last-ditch effort to play in the U.S., Fenne emailed the top finishers over the 2014 season — including North Carolina, Connecticut and Albany — but Syracuse was the first team to respond.

The enrollment process only further delayed her arrival at the school and ability to train with the team.

Fenne failed a language exam to display her English proficiency in her first attempt and scored too low on her second to be admitted to her preferred area of study, sports marketing. Instead, she had to apply to the media and education graduate program.

“I was disappointed and frustrated,” Fenne said. “I couldn’t do what I set out to do.”

After her appointment to receive a visa was canceled and then pushed back due to a breach of the international system in June, Fenne trained from home and Skyped into the summer sessions of her masters classes. The forward finally arrived in the United States in mid-July.

“She had to be here in the summer because otherwise she wouldn’t start getting her legs under her until October,” said Orange head coach Ange Bradley. “With only having one season of eligibility, you want to be able to start that transition to the NCAA game as early as possible.”

Since arriving at Syracuse, Fenne has relentlessly trained and Weers said that there has been a drastic improvement, In the final regular season game, Fenne netted the game-winning goal 8:59 into overtime from 6 yards out on a low shot to give SU a 1-0 win over Duke. The forward only sat for the first minute of overtime after playing the entire 35-minute second half.

“This year is her one chance in America,” Rob Fenne said. “She’s made Syracuse better and is helping the other girls achieve their goal of a national championship, but she’s done so much to improve herself too.” lpsull01@syr.edu

Football primer: What to know for Louisville week

Richardson leads trio of Syracuse freshmen in win

By Paul Schwedelson asst. copy editor

Syracuse (3-5, 1-3 Atlantic Coast) will travel to Louisville (4-4, 3-2) for a 12:30 p.m. kickoff on Saturday at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.

The game will be broadcast on the ACC Network. The Orange is on a five-game losing streak and most recently lost 45-21 to No. 17 Florida State. Syracuse hasn’t won a game since getting off to a promising 3-0 start and defeating Central Michigan on Sep. 19. Here’s what to keep an eye on in the week leading up to the game.

1,088

Days since Syracuse last defeated a ranked team. The Orange defeated Louisville, 45-26 in the Carrier Dome in 2012 to end the Cardinals’ perfect season 10 games in.

Louisville slugger After starting the season 0-3, U of L has won four of its last five including wins over North Carolina State, Boston College and Wake Forest by a combined 11 points. The Cardinals forced five second-half turnovers in its win against Wake Forest on Saturday.

Despite running the ball 42 times for just 68 yards, U of L still came away with the win.

The Cardinals average 24.4 points, 11th best in the ACC, while Syracuse averages 29.2, eighth in the conference. SU is 6-7 all-time against the Cardinals. The Orange defeated the then-undefeated Cardinals in 2012.

Holding constant There were no changes from last week in the Orange’s two-deep depth chart for Louisville. Senior Julian Whigham remains a backup cornerback, though he played a significant chunk of time at safety against Florida State.

Injury report Junior hybrid Ben Lewis missed his second game in a row against Florida State with an upper-body injury.

At hybrid, Ervin Philips and Dontae Strickland combined for 36 rushing yards on 10 carries and four receptions for 61 yards against the Seminoles.

Senior defensive end Luke Arciniega and sophomore linebacker Parris Bennett both left the FSU game and did not return with upper-body injuries.

The status of all three players is unknown going forward. pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

By Jesse Dougherty web editor

All it took was one dribble in place and a quick jab step for Malachi Richardson to create space and knock down a 3-pointer from the left wing.

A minute later, he came off a screen on the same wing, planted his feet as he caught Michael Gbinije’s pass and swished a 3 in rhythm. On the next play, Richardson barked for the ball on the right wing and hit a transition triple that pushed Syracuse’s lead to 10 points and incited the first celebration of his college career.

A yell to the sideline crowd. Two animated head nods. Timeout Le Moyne.

“It felt good knowing that I could make shots, and be here in the Dome and make shots,” Richardson said. “It’s something I’ve been doing all my life. It was fun.”

It was only a preseason exhibition against Division II Le Moyne, but SU’s three scholarship freshmen flashed their potential in the Orange’s 97-58 win over the Dolphins in the Carrier Dome on Monday night.

Richardson, who started at small forward, led his classmates with 13 points on 5-of-12 shooting and snagged seven rebounds.

Freshman forward Tyler Lydon saw time at small forward, power forward and center and chipped in six points, six rebounds — five of which were offensive — three blocks and three assists. First-year guard Franklin Howard scored 10 points, shooting 3-of-5 from the field and 3-of-4 at the line.

“I thought Frank was good, Malachi was good and I thought Tyler was really active, that’s what he does,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “… I thought they all did a good job.”

When Syracuse slowed down play in the second half, Richardson didn’t get as many looks and missed both of his 3-point attempts. But he

le moyne to do a better job of making some more. We hit a couple, but you could always get a little bit hotter.”

Boeheim rolled out three of the five or six players he calls shooters to start. At media day, he said it took until the end of the season for Gbinije to develop as just a second one for the Orange.

The point guard, Cooney and Richardson headline a group this season that also includes Joseph, Tyler Lydon and Franklin Howard.

Sixteen seconds into the game, Gbinije’s first look fell short. Cooney’s first try from the left wing didn’t go either. Then Howard clanked off the back rim on his first attempt from the top of the key and Lydon misfired from the right wing on his.

The Orange couldn’t distance itself from a nearby Division II team early and the driveand-kick method wasn’t clicking. Le Moyne was hoisting from beyond the arc on the other end and on makes, Dolphins fans who made the trip could be heard in section 314.

Then Richardson, described a “pure shooter” by some, caught fire and hit three

made a strong move to the basket for a threepoint play after the under-eight timeout, and threw a deft no-look pass to a cutting Gbinije for a wide-open dunk less than a minute later.

On that play, Richardson aggressively called for the ball on the right wing, read the defender in front of him and took one dribble toward the paint before hitting Gbinije in stride on the baseline. It was his only assist of the night, but showed an ability to break down a defense in the half court.

Lydon and Howard’s contributions weren’t as noticeable, but they each fit into the Orange’s spread-out offense and used length to their advantage in Syracuse’s zone. Lydon played center in SU’s three-forward lineup — a group Boeheim said he’ll definitely use this season — and extended five Orange possessions with offensive boards.

“I just try and do whatever I can. I do all the little stuff,” Lydon said. “I feel like that’s some of the best parts of the game; it’s just fun for me diving after loose balls and getting on the ground. It may be weird to say, but I almost enjoy getting hit sometimes. It keeps me motivated and it keeps me wanting to get the ball.”

In the game’s waning moments, the three freshmen retreated to the bench and gave way to a lineup of walk-ons.

Richardson, the most animated of the three, swung his legs in the air and laughed with assistant coach Adrian Autry when Autry’s son hit a 3 on the first shot of his college career.

Lydon, pegged by his teammates as inquisitive, sat next to senior center DaJuan Coleman and pointed to something on the court. Howard, seemingly reserved, stood near the end of the bench and watched the last seconds tick off the clock through squinted eyes.

In three different ways, it was an encouraging night for Syracuse’s newest additions. jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

straight in a span of a minute and 16 seconds. On his third make, Le Moyne head coach Patrick Beilein called a timeout. Doyin Akintobi-Adeyeye put his fingers in a circle around his eye while holding up three fingers from the last seat on the bench. Paschal Chukwu extended his pointer finger in the direction of Richardson, who jogged into the Syracuse huddle.

“I just needed to get going a little bit,” Richardson said. “And the rim felt huge.”

With more side-to-side ball movement in the second half, Syracuse was able to create inside the arc. Joseph found space to drive when defenders played out on him and DaJuan Coleman was freed up on the low block.

“It opens up the court for everybody,” Gbinije said, “brings more scoring opportunities to everybody and it’s more spacing out there.”

Even with space, there were some bumps.

But with a swish from Autry, the 31st 3 and 95th point of the night, Boeheim smirked and Autry’s father, an assistant coach, broke out in a grin.

If a 3 is open, someone’s going to take it.

“If we’re able to get be patient and get good 3s like we did today,” Cooney said, “then we’ll be alright.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

pasanen him that the move was real.

He and his family moved approximately the distance from Syracuse to Los Angeles when they moved near Hunenberg, Switzerland from Kuopio, Finland. He played for FC Zurich’s club team and attended the International School of Zug and Luzern.

In Finland, kids start school a year later than in most other parts of the world. When Pasanen moved to Switzerland, he started hanging out with kids in the 10th grade, one grade higher than him.

“In a way I felt like I was more mature than kids in my grade,” Pasanen said.

“If you’d ask the seniors when I was a freshman, I honestly didn’t think I was ever going to be a captain of the team here.

Juuso Pasanen su midfielder

He was allowed to skip a grade to take classes with the older kids he had already been hanging out with.

Pasanen’s older siblings had come to the United States for an exchange-student program, with one traveling to Boston and the other to Chicago.

They dropped a grade below, so he also was able to jump up to their’s.

At Zug and Luzern, some kids had parents

that worked at an embassy, so Pasanen learned not to get attached because some friends were there one week and gone the next.

Even though he said the first move helped him adjust at SU, he admits he wasn’t quite ready.

Moving from Switzerland to Syracuse was double the distance from Finland to Switzerland.

“Back then I moved with my family, now I moved alone,” Pasanen said. “So it was more of a responsibility.”

He said some of the little things have improved like being on time and that he was “noisy all the time like an excited, new, young kid.”

The maturity has come with the responsibility of being an older player on the team.

Twelve players left Syracuse after last season to play professionally, graduate or transfer, two of which would have been seniors. With the massive turnover, Syracuse lost the experiences of several upperclassmen.

In the offseason, he had meetings with McIntyre and the other coaches, Liam Callahan and Oyvind Alseth. He knew he had to grow as a captain.

“You can go to him if you need that (calming influence),” freshman Andreas Jenssen said.

Alseth says sometimes Pasanen’s laid-back mentality can be mistaken for laziness.

Even though he’s become one of the leaders, he still has kept some of the tendencies from when he wasn’t regarded that way.

There’s still the locker room jokes and sarcasm even though some of his teammates don’t get it. Sometimes it’s just Pasanen and Korab Syla that understand their own band of sarcasm with some jokes not suitable for print.

“I’m mature, right?” Pasanen said to Ben Polk, who walked by.

“Of course, mate,” Polk joked as he smiled. cjlibona@syr.edu

SU attempts 32 3s in lopsided 97-58 win against Le Moyne

By Matt Schneidman asst. sports editor

M

alachi Richardson laughed when he heard the number 32.

The number of 3-pointers Syracuse took in its first

exhibition game was eight more than in any single game last season.

Jim Boeheim wasn’t lying when he said his team would live more beyond the arc this season. He thought 21 in the first half Monday night was too many, but didn’t have a problem with the quality of any.

“For the most part, they were all good looks,” Trevor Cooney said.

“Thirty-two is a good number for us.”

Syracuse hit 12 of its attempts for a 37.5-percent clip that would rank eighth out of its 31 games last year. In a 97-58 blowout of Le Moyne where 20 missed 3s were insignificant to the outcome, they gave a relative indication of how the Orange plans to utilize its surplus of shooters going forward.

Gbinije hit half of his 10 attempts for 15 of a team-high 21 points and a pair from Kaleb Joseph in the second half capped off a 21-0 Syracuse run that put the Dolphins in the rearview for good. Five different players made 3s, not including Cooney, showcasing a newfound depth from behind the arc. “(Boeheim) wants to shoot 20-30 3s,” Richardson said. “We just got see le

Syracuse fails to receive a vote in AP Top 25 poll

The first Associated Press poll of the season came out Monday, and Syracuse basketball did not receive a vote. It is the first time since the 2009–10 season that the Orange is not ranked in the preseason poll.

Fittingly, Syracuse was picked to finish ninth in the ACC in a conference media poll on Wednesday.

In Syracuse’s nonconference schedule, Wisconsin checked in at No. 17 and Gonzaga, Connecticut and Michigan — teams the Orange

could potentially face at the Battle 4 Atlantis — are ranked ninth, 20th and 25th, respectively. Georgetown, which SU will visit on Dec. 5, received 23 votes and did not make the Top 25.

Juuso Pasanen lay on the wet grass with his hands on his head and trainers examining his leg.

Zero goals, three assists and the least points of any starter are what Syracuse lost when he came out of the game against Hartford on Oct. 20. His production wasn’t what made him so valuable. The player that became punctual and had grown into a leader this past year was what SU nearly lost.

“If you’d ask the seniors when I was a freshman, I honestly didn’t think I was ever going to be a captain of the team here,” Pasanen said.

The senior defensive midfielder may play his last game at SU Soccer Stadium on Wednesday. The Orange is slated to go up against NC State on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the opening game of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.

The injury against Hartford put the rest of his season in doubt — SU head coach Ian McIntyre constantly said he was day-to-day — but Pasanen was able to play against Boston College on Friday. As recently as SU’s game against North Carolina State on Oct. 23, Pasanen had worn a walking boot.

He is one of three captains, and teammates say he provides a steady hand guiding SU in the back of offensive sets. Pasanen had to grow up early, moving from Finland to Switzerland and leaving behind where he was born.

“He’s a calming influence on our team,” McIntyre said.

Pasanen found out he was moving after he came home from a soccer practice and his mother told him his dad had been offered a job in Switzerland. His father flew there and stayed for a month.

Pasanen’s parents deliberated about having his mother, his siblings and him stay in Finland, but ultimately they decided to go as a family.

The Swiss Airlines plane dropped among the Alps, a rare sight to Pasanen because Finland is mostly flat, he said. “Clarity,” by John Mayer vibrated in his ears as it finally hit see pasanen page 15
