Cabinet reflects on semester

By Alexa Torrens staff writer

In the second of his three semesters as Student Association President, Boris Gresely found himself playing a large role in the future of Syracuse University.

This semester, Gresely was especially involved in the development of Fast Forward Syracuse, an initiative created by Chancellor Kent Syverud to improve SU. Gresely is a member of the Strategic Plan Steering Committee and the Undergraduate Excellence working group, both of which are committees dedicated to Fast Forward. Gresely often reported progress on Fast Forward to assembly members at SA’s weekly meetings.

“My main role has been to make sure students understand what Fast Forward is and how we can move forward,” he said.

In addition to working with the administration on Fast Forward, Gresely and other SA members cooperated with THE General Body,

hen the housing lottery ended last spring, about 200 Syracuse University students were locked out of on-campus housing.

The students, who all still needed to fulfill their two-year campus housing requirement, eventually found places to live, but the overflow is a major reason SU has decided to make changes to the housing lottery next semester.

“Growing enrollment over the last few years has really challenged us as a campus to figure out what students are housed and where,” said Terra Peckskamp, director of the Office of Residence Life.

Large incoming classes the last two years prompted the housing lottery changes, but rising enrollment — and the housing problems it presents — are not new issues at SU. To combat the housing crunch, SU has housed students in hotels and converted lounges into dorm rooms. As the university works to find more space on campus, the creation of a Campus Master Plan will play a large role in determining what’s next for campus housing.

The biggest change to the lottery is that students who have not already fulfilled their two-year on-campus housing requirement won’t be able to select

single rooms during the housing lottery this spring. Options will also be more limited for upperclassmen that have already fulfilled the requirement.

The new rules essentially require sophomores to choose a roommate to go through the housing process, a change that reflects the reality of what already happens, said Eileen Simmons, director of the Office of Housing, Meal Cards and ID Services. On average, each year less than five students who still needed to fulfill their housing requirement are able to land a single, she said.

“I think it will take a level of angst away from the freshmen to not put all their eggs in one basket for a single room when the reality is, over the years, two-year (requirement) students during the lottery aren’t able to secure one,” Simmons said.

Although the large freshman and sophomore classes prompted the most recent changes to the housing lottery, enrollment increases are not a new issue on campus. Prior to 2005, Nancy Cantor’s first year as chancellor, the freshman class typically consisted of about 2,600 students. After planned increases and higher rates of enrollment under Cantor, the average size of the freshman class is now about 3,400 students. But the current freshman and sophomore classes are even larger than the 3,400 average, coming in at 3,478 and 3,463, respectively. see housing page 8

a coalition of student groups that staged a sit-in for 18 days, at a few assembly meetings in November.

“The chancellor is a lot more open.

This is the perfect chance to really push for what we want,” Gresely said.

This semester, SA created a student affairs task force chaired by Iggy Nava, a senior international relations major.

Gresely said the task force, which was a component of his presidential campaign, is a coalition of student see sa page 6

Manager aims to improve quality of coffee shop

By Clare Ramirez asst. feature editor

When Cory Tyson was first offered the position as manager of People’s Place, he didn’t know the first thing about running the small shop.

“They walked me through the process, and I opened shop three days later.

It was a mess trying to figure out everything by myself,” Tyson said. “We were out of lids for God knows how long.”

Tyson first managed People’s Place, a nonprofit, student-run coffee shop in the basement of Hendricks Chapel, during the summer of 2013 before his senior year at Syracuse University. He returned this past summer and continued the job into the fall semester.

“We’re affiliated with Syracuse University but we are our own entity,” said Tyson, a first-year graduate student in classical guitar.

Tyson had never managed a shop before but decided to take the position that was offered to him.

When he first began as manager, many of Tyson’s problems were figuring out what to order and when. But the issues he deals with now are related to making sure the products that People’s Place offers are of great quality.

“I’m looking at what we sell and what we could sell and what people are buying as opposed to what we’re buying,” he said. “We’re nonprofit, but we still need money to keep People’s Place going.”

People’s Place gets its products from vendors such as Geddes Bakery, Liberty Deli, Mountain Grove Coffee and Ver-

mont Coffee Company. Tyson said their current vendors have been “very good” for the shop and that the key to finding successful vendors involves doing research online or visiting local shops.

Tyson said that compared to his other job with Student Centers and Programming Services, managing the shop

and the other students who work there is much more relaxed and laid-back.

“All of us have a lot going on. We know that we’re all students and we’re in school for school,” Tyson said. “It’s great because we can have this job and not have to put the job over school.” clramire@syr.edu | @clareramirez_

Crepe and Gelato store posts ‘For Lease’ sign

By Anna Merod asst. news editor

The future of Crepe and Gelato Boulevard on Marshall Street remains unclear after the store’s display window was boarded up and a “For Lease” sign was placed in the window.

The Downtown Committee of Syracuse has been told that the

Marshall Street store is only closed for the winter, said John Vavalo, the vice president of the Crouse-Marshall Business Improvement District in an email. The other Crepe and Gelato Boulevard location in Armory Square is also closed for the winter, according to Crepe and Gelato Boulevard’s Facebook page.

“I am not sure how they can

afford to do it, but that is what they are saying,” Vavalo said.

The dessert restaurant first came to Syracuse in spring 2013 when the Armory Square location opened on Clinton Street. The Marshall Street location opened about a year later.

The phone number on the Marshall Street store’s “For Lease” sign goes to the Crepe and Gelato Boule-

vard in Armory Square.

Noam and Meshi Cohen, who own the two Crepe and Gelato Boulevard locations, could not be reached for comment.

Crepe and Gelato Boulevard rents its location at 113 Marshall Street from David and Sandra Jacobs.

When reached by phone, Sandra see restaurant page 6

Smartphones have become a consistent part of daily life, but texting and looking down at all hours of the day may be causing an epidemic of neck and spine problems.

“This is a cause for real concern,” said Nicole Lynk, a chiropractor and master’s student in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics. Lynk said she believes the word epidemic is a suitable term for a condition like this.

Text neck is the angle in which you hold your head as you look at your phone. A human head alone weighs about a dozen pounds, and the more it bends forward and down, the more it weighs. New research, which will come out this month, says “text neck” is becoming an epidemic. This can create “stress on the body, which can lead to cervical spinal degeneration,” according to the Text Neck Institute. see text

Senators to vote on THE General Body motions

By Justin Mattingly asst. news editor

The University Senate will vote Wednesday on two motions inspired

by THE General Body during its final meeting of the semester.

The vote comes 13 days after THE General Body, a coalition of student organizations, left Crouse-Hinds Hall, ending its 18-day sit-in. The first motion affirms the Centennial Declaration of the American Association of University Professors, while the second relates to faculty responses to

neck page 8

issues raised during the sit-in.

Throughout the 18 days of THE General Body’s sit-in, the group demanded that students have more of a say in university decisions.

The motion about the AAUP states, “that the Syracuse University Senate affirms and adopts the Centennial Declaration of the American Association of University Professors as part of Syracuse University’s guiding principles.” The AAUP Centennial Declaration is a list of 10 points about shared governance, research, engaging communities and other university topics.

“We urge all faculty, students, administrators, staff and the Board of Trustees to recognize in their actions that the University is a ‘public good’ and that meaningful ‘shared governance is a cornerstone’ of ensuring that we live up to that high and demanding charge,” the motion reads.

The second motion, “affirms and applauds” actions by THE General Body. The motion says the SU community must be involved in the decision-making process and says the administration “avoided any mention of administrative concern”

about the “erosion of shared governance and academic freedom.”

“We hope that the administration might learn from the students about how to engage in intellectually serious, rigorous and respectful debate toward participatory decision-making,” the motion reads. Both motions are signed by the same 12 members of the Senate.

The University Senate will hold its final meeting of the semester Wednesday at 4 p.m. in the Maxwell Auditorium. The vote on the motions is scheduled to be the sixth item on the agenda. jmatting@syr.edu

editorial board

Student Association should work to make efforts known on campus Student Association has helped improved the dayto-day life of Syracuse University’s students, but should work to bolster its presence on campus.

Similar to past administrations, this semester, SA has tackled large issues that face all institutions of higher learning, such as sexual assault, diversity and alcohol use. But something SA has done better than past administrations is introduce programs with a smaller scope that will directly affect the student body.

But if SA doesn’t actively take ownership of its achievements, its ability to accurately represent the student body will be impeded.

Three initiatives that will commence next semester include the installation of heat lamps at the College Place bus stop, the creation of more phone charging stations in campus buildings and the introduction of a new program, Chat and Dine, that gives students the opportunity get lunch with SU faculty. It’s good that these smaller changes are being implemented, since they can be tangible successes over the course of a semester.

But SA should claim responsibility for its initiatives, because by not actively promoting them, students might assume that the university provided these new additions. The more SA publicizes its accomplishments, the more likely students will be to turn to the organization with their grievances.

SA’s subdued leadership was evident when it passed up an opportunity to make its voice heard by addressing THE General Body. While SA created a seven-person ad hoc committee to read

and make recommendations about THE General Body’s grievance and demands document, SA should have taken a public stance during THE General Body’s sit-in, whether it was in support, opposition or division in regards to group’s goals. SA is intended to act as a liaison between administration and students, but it did not fulfill this role during the sit-in. SA should have taken a public stance on THE General Body while negotiations were underway.

The initiatives passed during this semester are proof that SA representatives are attempting and succeeding to make SU a better place for the students. But unless SA can be better about making its work known, its accomplishments will be overlooked.

Avoiding shutdown boosts GOP image

C

onservatives are buzzing with how they should respond to President Barack Obama’s executive order on immigration, which would keep five million undocumented immigrants from being deported.

But according to a Politico article, House leadership seems to be moving toward a strategy that would avoid a government shutdown. Staying away from another shutdown is ideal for the GOP because it will allow them to satisfy the Republican base, while also properly positioning the party for the presidential election in 2016.

The plan that Republican leadership is proposing in order to avoid a shutdown is two-fold. It involves funding nearly the entire government through September 2015, but funding involving immigration enforcement will be renewed on a short-term basis. This plan is known throughout conservative circles as “CROmnibus.” This word combines CR, or continuing resolution, which

CHRIS PULLIAM COOL, CALM, CONSERVATIVE

is a short-term funding bill, and omnibus, the more long-term way of funding the government.

This GOP strategy is ideal for a party that has developed a reputation of not governing in the recent past. In October 2013, the House of Representatives and the Senate could not agree on an appropriations continuing resolution, or a bill to fund the government. This government shutdown was largely caused by conservatives who wished to defund or delay the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as “Obamacare.”

This move was largely considered to be a total disaster for the GOP. Shutting down the government severely damaged the Republican brand. According to a CNN poll from a few days after the government shutdown, 75 percent of Americans said

“most Republicans in Congress don’t deserve re-election.”

In a political climate full of gridlock and general frustration toward the incompetency of government, being seen as extreme is never good. Considering that Congressional approval is now at 13 percent according to RealClearPolitics.com, the American people want the legislative branch to do its job.

Now that the GOP will have control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, it has a great opportunity to regain lost ground. In order to improve the conservative brand, the party must do what the American people elected them to do: govern.

What’s great about the CROmnibus plan is that it appeals to the voting public while also satisfying the base. Hardline conservatives should be happy with the plan to keep immigration funding on a short leash as it provides opportunity to send a message against Obama’s executive order.

scribble

It is important to keep the base happy because it contains enthusiastic supporters who will turn out on election days in high numbers in order to keep the GOP in office. The problem with solely playing to the base is that when presidential elections come around, more than the base is needed to win office. National elections require support from the general public, especially moderate and independent voters.

As seen in the past, shutting down the government alienates the Ameri-

can public. But it is also important to play to the base and to present a strong front against the Obama administration. The CROmnibus plan is a good strategy for now, but ultimately, the GOP must govern effectively in order to set themselves up for success in the presidential election of 2016.

Millennial label needs to be divided into more accurate subgroups

t’s difficult to imagine any generational similarities between a college student who’s learning how to become independent and a person who is married with kids.

And yet, categorizing these two groups of people into one group happens often. Actually, in my case, it usually happens every week with this column. The millennial age range encompasses people from 18 up to 33-years-old, or those born between the early 1980s and late 1990s.

However, I don’t think classifying these different age groups into a single category is the best and most accurate way to do so.

and sexuality influence how this generation is categorized, they should be grouped by major norms. With this said, instead of grouping millennials into one large entity, like we usually do, millennials from 18–24 years old should constitute one group and those above 25 should form another.

Clearly differentiating the two from each other as separate subgroups of millennials would not only help gain a more accurate representation of the generation’s behaviors and norms, but also further develop research on their financial norms and social habits.

Statistical evidence in a Jun. 14 Financial Brand article shows the difference between these two age groups.

For example, the article reported that 29 percent of millennials in the younger age group manage their own finances, compared to 51 percent of older millennials.

In some ways, it makes sense to categorize millennials into one group, since most millennials do have the commonality of Baby Boomer parents, with the exception of some from Generation X. But the fact that millennials have been raised by the same generation definitely does not automatically mean they will turn out with similar characteristics. A millennial born in 1981 was 15 years old by the time someone was born in 1996, and a society can

be significantly different during that time. And although this may also be applied to past generations, in the case of millennials this age gap has influenced millennials’ use of technology.

Millennials experienced the spread of the Internet and technology at different stages in their lives. For example, a 2013 Jul. 17 Barkley study reported that 44 percent of millennials who are now parents chose Wal-Mart when asked which retailer they would purchase from for the rest of their lives. The other options included Amazon and Target. Surprisingly, the generation that is crazy for the virtual world, did not pick online-marketplace Amazon.

These are major principles that define the millennial generation. And since there is a significant difference

between the two groups’ relationships with technology, it would be more precise if this was addressed.

Not only did we not grow up in the same time, but there events that impacted the older millennial generation differently than the younger millennial generation. The introduction of technology and easy virtual accessibility was at radically different points in millennials lives. All millennials don’t share core values that define the millennial generation — it’s time to differentiate between the older and younger millennials.

Committee completes 3 initiatives leaders at SU that will assemble the Student Affairs Summit in February. The summit will be an opportunity for students to discuss issues they face at the university and potential resolutions to these problems.

Gresely said he wants students to feel ownership and said, “I think in the past there has been a lack of credibility with what student governments can do.”

Gresely wanted the summit to take place this semester, but the complexity of Fast Forward made it difficult to hold the summit, he said.

In addition to the summit, SA intends to pursue other initiatives next semester, including increasing awareness about financial aid and establishing a program to help first generation students at SU. Reflecting on his past year as SA president, Gresely said, “It hasn’t necessarily been easy. I don’t think any leadership position — big or small — is easy ever.” But, he added, “It has been a really

The Student Life Committee focused its efforts on four initiatives this semester. Three were successful and will be launching in the spring semester. These initiatives include the installation of heat lamps at the College Place bus stop, the establishment of the Chat and Dine program and the installation of more phone charging stations in campus buildings.

The heat lamps for the College Place bus stop have been ordered and will be installed next semester. The plan to purchase heat lamps for bus stops on South Campus is uncertain since Centro — not SU — owns these stops, said Aysha Seedat, the chair of the Student Life Committee.

Chat and Dine is an opportunity for students to eat a meal with any SU faculty or staff member. The initiative is a tool to help students transition into life at SU and get guidance from faculty and staff, Seedat said.

The university has also purchased phone

a total of $12,000. The Jacobs also say the lease is for 15 years, according to the documents.

The Cohens filed a counterclaim on March 4 saying the original lease agreement was for a five-year term, with two additional renewal options that increased in rent payments with each new term. In addition, before the Cohens signed the lease, the Jacobs did not inform them that the building had code violations, according to the counterclaim.

These code violations delayed the opening of the Crepe and Gelato Boulevard on Mar-

restaurant Jacobs said she did not know why there was a “For Lease” sign in the window.

The Jacobs filed a lawsuit against the Cohens last January for defaulting on their rent payments, according to documents filed in Onondaga County Supreme Court. In the lawsuit, the Jacobs say the Cohens failed to pay their rent in December 2013 and January 2014 and owe them

charging stations which will be installed in areas on campus like Grant Auditorium and Huntington Beard Crouse Hall, Seedat said.

The fourth initiative is to implement nutritional information in dining halls to avoid allergic reactions from students who have food allergies. The Student Life Committee will meet with administrators and food service employees next semester to discuss the proposal, Seedat said.

Next semester, Seedat and committee members hope to change the rule that forbids transfer students from joining Greek life their first semester at SU.

Committee addresses campus issues This semester, the Student Engagement Committee worked on initiatives to raise awareness for sexual assault, consent, alcohol safety and diversity.

The committee partnered with several campus organizations, including the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, to launch a campaign for what it means to give consent,

shall Street for two months because the Jacobs failed to rectify the violations, according to the documents. To complete renovations and receive a building permit, the Cohens say they had to spend $1,050 to build a gutter, $3,500 for legal fees and $286.47 for heating and electricity while they waited for the permit, according to the documents.

In addition to the money spent for the building permit, the restaurant also paid $7,985 to train staff for two months before the store’s opening.

The building’s code violations caused the store to

said Brittany Moore, the chair of the Student Engagement Committee.

An initiative to educate students about consent was “#notaskingforit,” an online campaign that launched on Halloween to ensure that students know that “no matter how you’re dancing or how you’re acting, nobody ever asks to be raped,” Moore said.

In addition to the consent campaign, the Student Engagement Committee also held two focus groups on alcohol use, created a rankings campaign to counter SU’s top party school rating and held a forum called Express Yourself.

The forum’s purpose was to increase diversity and inclusion efforts in the wake of the Hanna Strong incident in September, Moore said.

The committee’s plans for next semester include working with the Residence Hall Association to organize Impact Week, establishing a liaison with registered student organizations to inform them about Fast Forward and partnering with the counseling center to discuss mental health issues, Moore said. atorrens@syr.edu

delay its opening for an additional two months.

Because of the delay the store could not afford to pay its staff and lost its trained employees as a result, according to the documents.

On July 21, the Jacobs responded to the Cohen’s counterclaim by denying all allegations and requesting the counterclaims be dismissed.

Peter Hobaica, the lawyer representing the Jacobs, declined to comment on the lawsuit.

show me the money breakdown

Here is a look at what proposals are included in the “Syracuse Billion” plan and how much each proposal costs. $ = $10,000,000 = chilled water: 125 million = water mains: 726 million = education: 10 million = interstate-81: 3.66 million = business: 3.34 million = broadband: 84 million = roads: 48 million

by the numbers Here are some numbers and facts related to the other proposals mentioned in Mayor Stephanie Miner’s “Syracuse Billion” plan.

Water Mains:

Roads:

The water main system in Syracuse is 550 miles long.

The water mains are more than 100 years old and it would cost $1.32 million per mile to replace.

The cost per mile to reconstruct a city street is $1.5 million. The city budget for road reconstruction for the past three years has been $3 million a year.

business: The proposal to create a “World Square Market” would offer training for small businesses and a marketplace for new Americans’ businesses.

Broadband: The proposal to create a muncipally owned fiber network will have 42,000 parcels to provide 1 gigabit per second (Gb/s) ultra-highspeed internet service.

Education: Say Yes to Education’s endowment has reached half of its goal of $20 million.

The plan proposes to fund the other half to permanently fund the endowment.

Miner’s ‘Syracuse Billion’ plan focuses on need for infrastructure improvements

By Anagha Das staff writer

S

yracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner submitted a plan to the governor recently that would use $1 billion in state funding to improve city infrastructure During Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s re-election campaign this year, he proposed a $1.5 billion upstate revitalization fund similar to the $1 billion promised to Buffalo in 2012, according to a syracuse.com article published early last week. On Nov. 25, Miner sent Cuomo the “Syracuse Billion” plan. Miner’s plan focuses on using the money to improve the city’s infrastructure.

The money would be used to replace 550 miles of water mains that continue to break every year, according to the “Syracuse Billion” report. The project would cost about $726 million, and some of the remaining $1 billion would go toward fixing roads and

infrastructure across Syracuse.

Jake Barrett, co-chair of the Department of Public Works Committee, said an average of three water mains broke per week in Syracuse last year. The majority of water main breaks occur in December through April, he added.

Syracuse spends approximately $2 million per year on water main repairs, Barrett said.

He added that the main problem water breaks are causing is social inconvenience. For example, if a water main breaks near a popular location, people will have to travel around that and change their plans accordingly, he said.

“There’s a cost that’s obvious for laundromats and restaurants, but you can’t put a collar figure on social costs,” Barrett said.

Another proposal included in the “Syracuse Billion” is to invent a cooling system using Skaneateles Lake water. However, Barrett said he thinks the project is not as important as fixing the water main situation.

“Repairs for basic infrastructure is most important along with road and sewer repair,” he said.

Unlike Barrett, Khalid Bey, also co-chair of the Department of Public Works Committee, said he thinks the cooling system project makes sense. Bey cited the report and said the water project can cut down the municipal costs and save taxpayers money.

The project will also lead to improvements around Interstate 81, and can help the city determine how to more effectively use the land there. Bey said he has his own ideas he would like to implement to make better use of Syracuse’s land resources.

“Most people can’t see how this plan affects roads and infrastructure,” Bey said.

“It’s important not only to create safe paths to and from work, but also in reducing congestion and improving business.”

Cuomo must approve the plan before it is put into action. Bey said he has heard mem-

bers in the Department of Public Works Committee argue that the “Syracuse Billion” both does and does not satisfy Cuomo’s request.

“I’m not sure if Cuomo will approve it, but the main thing he’s looking for is economic impact,” Bey said. He added that he believes true economic change comes from increasing employment numbers, and said he thinks “Syracuse Billion” can satisfy Cuomo’s request.

The governor will most likely propose the $1.5 billion upstate revitalization fund in January as part of his 2015 budget, according to the syracuse.com article. It will then have to be approved by the New York State Senate and Assembly. Then, the state’s Regional Economic Development Councils will present ideas, he said.

Said Bey: “It’s a pretty robust plan, I look forward to seeing what the response is from the state.” amdas@syr.edu

housing Chris Sedore, senior vice president for enrollment management, said in an email that he expects the Fall 2015 class to be smaller than the last two years, but that the final class size will be determined later in the admissions process.

While smaller class sizes will help, SU is also looking to several short-term and longterm solutions to alleviate the housing crunch.

The university first housed students in the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center in 2005 and began doing it again during the 2011–12 school year. After not housing students during the 2012–13 school year, the hotel has been a housing option since fall 2013 and students will continue to live there next year.

There are no current plans to build new

text neck The average person spends two to four hours on their devices, which increases the chances of having problems, said Dean Fishman, a chiropractor and founder of Text Neck Institute.

“Text neck is an epidemic because we are seeing an increase of patients who are younger coming in for treatment and advice for ailments which would have been considered unusual for that age group, many years ago,” Fishman said.

Fishman said that since this is quite unusual for a younger generation to come in with chronic headaches and back pain, “we are seeing an earlier onset of arthritic presentations.”

dorms on campus, but Simmons said the Campus Master Plan, which is currently being created as part of the Fast Forward Initia-

tive, will play a role in determining future dorm construction. SU is still committed to the two-year housing requirement, and there

has been no discussion about changing the requirement, Simmons said.

Another temporary solution to housing students is converting dorm study lounges into living spaces. Simmons estimates there are about 80 students currently living in lounges. Since most lounges are triples, that amounts to about 26 converted lounges across campus, she said.

The university is strategic about which lounges it converts, Simmons said. For example, DellPlain Hall has two lounges on every floor, so converting one lounge on each floor means students aren’t completely without lounge space. “If that room or study space does need to be turned into some kind of living space, there also needs to be an option of, where else are we going to put this study space?” said Residence Hall Association president Malik Evans.

Evans said the recently renovated Haven Hall space is a good example of a new study space but added that he thinks computers need to be available there as well.

The Office of Residence Life is currently monitoring the usage of the Haven Hall space and this will help the office in setting up future study spaces, said Peckskamp, the ORL director. But whether or not lounges are converted depends on the size of the freshman class, which is difficult to predict, she said.

“While I would love to say we’re not going to be in lounges, it’s a very intricate ability to balance occupancy because we never know quite how many first year students we are going to get,” Peckskamp said. “Admissions has a target and they’re pretty good about meeting it but if we’re over by 10, then that’s 10 beds we’ve got to find. It’s a challenging issue.”

People of all ages enjoy the luxury of instant communication, with over 4 billion people phone-connected worldwide, he said.

“Children are developing bad posture habits at earlier ages by playing with these tablets and iPhones, which has the potential to become a real problem by the time they reach the age of 25,” Lynk said.

But many high school and college students don’t think text neck is a serious health problem.

“I think looking at all technology problems collectively is an epidemic but singling out text neck itself as an epidemic is hard to say because there are so many other factors that affect posture,” said Komal Safdar, a senior biochemistry at Syracuse University.

Safdar said she does not expect this epi-

demic to scare the younger generation into changing their habits. “There is a natural tendency for a younger student to feel invincible,” but “it’s not until early adulthood you start caring about this sort of stuff.”

Poor posture is caused by many factors and is therefore not an alarming concern, but over time, “repetitive motion problems will cause damage,” Lynk said.

Lisa Olson-Gugerty, a professor in the department of public health, food studies and nutrition, said she does not think this epidemic is alarming, but “it’s just a reminder to have good posture and that the digital era is affecting us in many areas of our life, including physical health.”

Most of the general population isn’t educated about text neck, and there is not enough

valid long-term research to truly call it an epidemic, Safdar said. But what is known is that consistently curving your neck down to look at a phone causes bad posture, and bad posture causes spinal cord issues and back pain.

Fishman recommended specific exercises and stretches in order to “strengthen the muscles from behind the neck, which run down in between the shoulder blades.”

There are mixed reactions as to the seriousness of this epidemic by students and health officials. But in the long term, research will help provide more information to youth.

Said Lynk: “This is a whole new game and we just don’t have enough evidence yet, we only know that it isn’t going to be good.”

If that room or study space does need to be turned into some kind of living space, there also needs to be an option of, where else are we going to put this study space?

ex Pictionary is probably the most fun game I’ve played in a while.

As a guest at one of Sex-Esteem’s weekly meetings GEORGIE on Nov. 14, SILVAROLE I had the SWEATING chance to IS SEXY learn about the group and play Sex Pictionary, a game derived from Pictionary that uses terms related to sex and sexual health.

The game is one of many creative discussion tools used by the members of Sex-Esteem, a peer sexuality organization from the Office of Health Promotion.

It provides a safe space to discuss sexuality as a whole, as a part of your life and your identity.

With the debate around the closing of the Advocacy Center and the changes to campus sexual health resources, we’re forgetting about some of the programs we already have. Sex-Esteem is one of those resources.

During Sex-Esteem’s weekly meeting, members talk about various topics prompted by Sexual and Relationship Violence Prevention Coordinator Jill Sneider, who runs the program. At the start of each semester, Sex-Esteem is open to all students. As the members develop relationships and trust, the organization becomes a private zone that respects the intimacy of its participants and their discussions.

Aside from their personal group meetings, the members of Sex-Esteem also engage the campus community through programs like “Sex Jeopardy,” “It’s Your Sex Life, Own It” and “Pizza and Sex: What do they have in Common?”

“Even after that first meeting, I realized that this group makes you think a lot about yourself,” said Samantha McAllister, a senior psychology during the group meeting on Nov. 14.

The members of Sex-Esteem this semester — comprised of about 15 students — all agreed that the safe, intimate space is what see silvarole page 10

WILD LIFE SU alumna Cheryl Strayed reflects on movie adaptation of memoir

heryl Strayed walked more than 1,100 miles in 94 days — alone.

The 2002 Syracuse University alumna had lost her mother to cancer when she was just 22 years old. After years of trying to cope with being an “orphan,” feeling lost, doing drugs and divorcing her husband, Strayed decided it was time for a change.

“I didn’t know how to live without her. So, in my grief, like a lot of people do, you think you try to find a cure for your sorrow,” Strayed said.

“Instead, you make choices that only lead you more deeply into your sorrow.

“I reached the bottom. I said that I knew I needed to change my life. I thought I would just take a journey.”

A few years after Strayed took a self-discovering journey on the Pacific Crest Trail, she wrote a memoir, “Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail.” The best-selling book was recently adapted into a movie starring Reese Witherspoon. The film is being shown in select cities throughout December and is opening in New York on Wednesday.

Strayed said she made the unique decision to take the hike through the Pacific Crest Trail, which spans 2,650 miles starting in Mexico and continuing into California, Oregon and Washington, in 1995 because she was trying to figure out who she was as a person. Her father was never present in her life and because her 45-year-old mother died at such a confusing time in Strayed’s life, she said needed to start over, but alone. When

I reached the bottom. I said that I knew I needed to change my life. I thought I would just take a journey.

she picked up a guidebook of the Pacific Crest Trail, Strayed added that she had a certain feeling that the hike was meant for her.

The Pacific Crest Trail long-distance hike is not meant to be explored by new hikers. Strayed considered herself a novice hiker and said some of the most difficult parts of being on the trail were carrying an overloaded backpack, wearing boots that were too big for her and enduring the different weather patterns throughout the summer, such as rain, snow and 100-degree days.

But most of all, the emotional pain was the hardest to get through.

“It’s hard to keep going when you’re in pain — to put one foot in front of the other, she said. “A lot of it is a mental game. I just had to keep telling myself to keep on moving forward. It was very intense. It was an exact replica of what I needed to do emotionally in my life.”

Strayed said she needed to learn how to live with the parts of her life that were always going to be sad, but the journey was fulfilling and see strayed page 10

strayed taught her many lessons — the No. 1 lesson being vigilance.

When her hike was over, Strayed said she

It was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever done and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I went out there looking for my strength and I certainly found it.

felt not only joyous, but also sad. She had reached the end of her journey, but she didn’t want the hike to finish just yet.

Nyasia Stephens, a senior math and family studies double major, said she joined to learn more about herself, but she loves that her friends who aren’t in the group now come to her for advice.

“I’m educated to better help my friends,” Stephens said. “You should be able to talk to your friends.”

ever done, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I went out there looking for my strength, and I certainly found it,” Strayed said.

Arthur Flowers, an associate professor of English and textual studies at SU, taught Strayed while she was studying fiction writing for her master’s degree in fine arts. He said that he saw her as more of a peer than a student and that her nonfiction has always had the “power of fiction” — her personal stories can draw in any type of reader.

“She is an exceptional being. She had a maturity that brought something extra to the table that is shown through her work,” Flowers said. “Cheryl’s a special one. She has talent. I hope she’s going to get me a ticket to the opening, but the actress can’t do her justice. Cheryl is larger than life.”

Strayed considers her time at SU invaluable and said she learned how to refine her writing skills from professors like Flowers and George Saunders. She thanked certain professors in “Wild” because she said she owes so much of her writing success to her SU mentors.

After Strayed finished writing her memoir, she sent it to actress Reese Witherspoon, who owns the film company Pacific Standard. Witherspoon read the book about three years ago and was immediately on board with making Strayed’s journey into a movie.

Sex-Esteem’s core value is behind promoting “sex positivity” — a way of rethinking sexuality and opening up discussions in a judgment-free zone. “It’s your sex life — own it” is a phrase that’s frequently repeated in the group.

Having a positive attitude regarding sex is vital to being able to facilitate meaningful discussions about it. In addition, having different views and being able to convey them while respecting others is just as important when it comes to fostering sex education. It’s more than just sex. It’s finding out what you like and how you can be true to yourself and your personal values.

At Sex-Esteem, talking about sexual experiences, identities and lifestyles happens in a positive, learning atmosphere. It’s somewhere to belong in a world where sexuality is not deeply understood by everyone.

“It’s sad, actually, that so many people don’t know how they feel,” said Emily LoBraico, a member of Sex-Esteem and a senior psychology and ethics double major.

The uplifting environment that Sex-Esteem offers is unique — openly talking about sex is not a universal concept, but just about everyone on this planet will engage in sexual behaviors,

• “Torch” (2006) • “Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail” (2012) • “Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar” (2012) Strayed’s daughter, Bobbi, plays a young Strayed in the movie. Strayed said it was touching to see her work with Laura Dern, who embodies the spirit of Strayed’s mother so well in the movie.

“It was so moving to see her re-enact scenes

from my childhood, some of them so difficult, some of them so joyous. My daughter, who is 9, and my son, who is 10, never met their grandmother,” Strayed said. “To have a part in making the movie, even if Laura Dern isn’t my mom, I love that my kids got to interact with Laura in that emotional way.”

Flowers said Strayed’s life experiences give her the capability to write pieces that are able to adapt to film easily. Strayed said she just wanted her readers to read her book and be able to see how she healed, possibly take away from her emotional experience and use the lessons she learned on her journey in their own lives. Now that the memoir is becoming a movie, she will be able to reach an even wider audience.

“I wasn’t interested in writing ‘Wild’ because I thought my story was more interesting than anyone else’s, but I’m digging into my own life and trying to find some universal meaning in my own experience,” Strayed said.

“I’m interested in using myself to tell a story about humanity and the way we grieve.” jmfrere@syr.edu | @jackie_frere

whether it’s on their own or with someone else.

“It’s really amazing to see just how much we can do,” said Tania Nsouli, a senior computer engineering major. “The more I’m a part of this club, the more I’m in love with it.”

Sex-Esteem provides an environment that fosters growth and teaches you how to love yourself. And as fun as “Sex Pictionary” is, Sex-Esteem is so much more than that.

ice hockey

Flanagan, fellow CHA coaches discuss new replay system

By Jack Rose staff writer

Tennity Ice Pavilion may not be wrought with technological advancements, but it gained five replay cameras to meet a new College Hockey America rule this season.

The conference mandates one camera pointing down at each goal and a third facing the scoreboard. Syracuse ‑ which lost 6-2 at Cornell on Tuesday ‑ chose to add two cameras mounted on the roof near center ice facing into each zone.

The CHA’s goal is to make sure referees make the correct calls on goals, and Syra‑ cuse’s (4-8-7, 3-2-3 CHA) and other coaches in the conference are generally happy with the new rule.

“We’re all about helping our players get better and the more teaching tools we have available, the better,” SU assistant coach Brendon Knight said about the extra expense required to purchase additional cameras.

Knight led Syracuse’s effort to find a cam‑ era system and understand the technology better than anyone else on the coaching staff. CHA head coaches unanimously voted for the replay system during a league meet‑ ing in the spring.

Programs had many options, and Syr‑ acuse opted for a more expensive package that included the mandated replay system along with two ceiling cameras that give players and coaches improved views of practice and games.

“There’s nothing more frustrating than losing a call, losing a game because of a bad call,” Knight said, “especially when goals are so tough to come by in our sport.”

Rochester Institute of Technology head coach Scott McDonald said in early Novem‑ ber that the school’s cameras were utilized in almost every home game up to that point, and that they worked well.

Since many of RIT’s games are televised, McDonald said, he didn’t feel the need for the coaches cameras on top of the replay system.

“Whether it goes your way or not, you have no leg to stand on,” McDonald said of the positive influence of cameras.

As for the financial expense, RIT was in the process of building a new arena when the rule was implemented, making it easy to add on the cost of cameras.

Bono admitted, though, that watching the NCA A tournament from home while five other semifinalists are still alive may play to his disadvantage.

“They definitely have a leg up,” Bono said.

“They have a couple more chances to show what they’ve got.”

Bono can rely on his supporters to get his own leg up, as there’s an option on the award’s website that lets fans cast their vote for one of the 16 semifinalists. Bono said he hasn’t thought of a campaign hashtag yet, but he

Though Mercyhurst head coach Michael Sisti wasn’t involved in the purchasing of his team’s cameras, he said it was “clearly a big expense for all the schools.” He said the cam‑ eras cost anywhere from $7,000 to $20,000.

“It’s worked well,” Sisti said. “I think the people that have looked at it say it was pretty clear if goals were in or out, and even for the officials, I think it’s good to clearly see.”

For Syracuse, the home cameras got off to a rough start.

Against Providence on Oct. 18, Syracuse thought it had a goal after a second period scrum, as multiple shots look to cross the line. Officials spent eight minutes reviewing the play but the camera above the Provi‑ dence net malfunctioned.

The teams would go on to tie, 3-3.

“We spent $20,000 on a review system that didn’t work,” SU head coach Paul Flanagan said after the game. “We had somebody here, a parent, that videotaped it. The goal was in, the players all said it was in, so we lose a hockey game because of technology.”

There’s nothing more frustrating than losing a call, losing a game because of a bad call, especially when goals are so tough to come by in our sport.

postgame playbook the big three Three takeaways from Syracuse’s 68-65 loss at Michigan on Tuesday.

young, wild and free Kaleb Joseph let his youth get the better of him late. He failed to catch Chris McCullough’s outlet pass with 15 seconds to play. After Michigan missed the front end of a one-and-one, Joseph lost the handle on the other end with four seconds to play. The Wolverines took a three-point lead on the ensuing free throws, and Joseph air-balled a desperation 3 as time expired.

early christmas Rakeem Christmas did what Syracuse fans have become accustomed to from the senior this season. The big man finished 7-of-9 from the field, hinting that his early-season success against lower-level competition may not be a fluke.

play breakdown

Trevor Cooney and Spike Albrecht both came up big from behind the arc for their respective teams on Tuesday. But it was Albrecht who made a 3 with under a minute to play that propelled the Wolverines to a 68-65 win. This is where Cooney and Albrecht took and made their shots from.

getting there Trevor Cooney, mired in a shooting slump through the first six games, finally showed signs of life. The junior made 4-of-9 from long range and led Syracuse with 16 points. He responded to a Kameron Chatman 3-pointer with a triple of his own to cut the lead to 61-57 before the under-four media timeout.

“Once they get to the middle, it’s broken,” SU guard Trevor Cooney said. “The zone is broken.”

With 16:39 left in the game UM guard Spike Albrecht drove at Christmas and as the Orange forward stepped, Albrecht threw a behind-the-back pass to forward Ricky Doyle, who finished with a two-handed slam as Christmas slapped him on the arm.

The paint had belonged to Syracuse in the first half, even with Christmas in foul trouble.

But as Michigan stole a foothold at the heart of the court, the Wolverines started to take over the game.

We let them get inside a couple times and they got some baskets under the basket that we shouldn’t let happen.

Jim Boeheim su head coach

“We let them get inside a couple times and they got some baskets under the basket that we shouldn’t let happen,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said.

With the zone broken open, there was only so much SU’s bigs could do to save the rest of the team. When they stepped to UM guards slashing to the basket, they left forwards open behind them for easy finishes.

And even when Cooney heated up for his best performance of the season, shooting 4-of-7 from 3-point range in the second half, Syracuse could only stay in the game. It couldn’t take it back.

Defensive stops were few and far between for the Orange. When they did happen, SU would cough up one of its 10 second-half turnovers on the other end. Syracuse could survive, but with Michigan taking the lane, the Orange could cover the corners or the blocks. Not both.

“We let them get penetration down there and get some baskets inside because we were so concerned about their 3-point shooters,” Boeheim said.

Forward Chris McCullough re-entered the game with 6:56 left with four fouls to his name and SU down 58-49. Locking up the paint and snaring defensive rebounds, he pushed Syracuse back into the game.

It would wind down into a series of fouls and timeouts that Syracuse had a chance to come out of on top of. SU tied the game with just a minute remaining, but a game it had lost control of in the middle of the second half became a game it trailed in for good 26 seconds later.

With 31 seconds left and the game tied, Albrecht caught the ball off a kick out at the top of the key. Cooney charged him, but as he turned to watch Michigan’s 16th 3-point attempt of the half take flight, he saw UM’s eighth triple of the frame fall through the net, giving Michigan a 66-63 lead, and one it wouldn’t relinquish.

“I definitely think my guards are definitely better than them,” McCullough said. “(But) today I think (Michigan) had it in the second half.” jmklinge@syr.edu | @Jacob_Klinger_

cooney he’ll make them,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “He’s made them over the years, but he hasn’t really gotten any.”

The Orange effectively lost the game on a pair of turnovers by its freshman starters, Chris McCullough and Kaleb Joseph, in the game’s final 15 seconds. But it was a game Syracuse would have been out of without Cooney’s performance.

With 4:35 remaining, Cooney threw up a 3-pointer from about 25 feet out with 18 seconds left on the shot clock. It missed, but

64 seconds later, he drained a 3 from nearly as deep to bring the Orange to within four at 61-57.

With the eventual loss, though, Syracuse dropped its first defeat with Cooney scoring in double digits since March 1 of last season, when the Orange fell to then-No. 12 Virginia while he scored 12 points. And Cooney brought his 3-point percentage up to 31 percent on the season by shooting 4-of-9 shooting from deep.

“We’ve got to do a better job of getting him in open situations,” Boeheim said. “If he’s open, he’ll make a good percentage.” jmklinge@syr.edu | @Jacob_Klinger_

Cooney puts in best game yet

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — In the first half, Michigan fired shot after shot over the Syracuse defense. But they were hurried, defended, fed by passes from the perimeter and ultimately, the Wolverines were throwing shot after shot off the rim.

Syracuse was the same team it had been for much of the early part of the season. It generally controlled the paint, got nothing from the perimeter and had its best weapon, Rakeem Christmas, in foul trouble. Still, when the Orange players were winning when they jogged off at halftime.

But when they came back on the Crisler Arena floor for the second half, they let themselves slip into a shootout. With Michigan guards splitting the Syracuse zone, SU had entered a game it couldn’t win. Soon

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — On the same night that Syracuse played its best game of the season, Trevor Cooney had his best performance of the year.

It was hardly a coincidence.

The Orange tied the game after trailing by 10 with seven minutes remaining. And while the SU (5-2)

We’ve got to do a better job of getting him in open situations. If he’s open, he’ll make a good percentage.

From the 6:56 mark through when Rakeem Christmas tied the game at 63 with 56 seconds remaining, Cooney shot 2-of-4 from the field and 2-of-3 from 3-point range while adding an assist. It was the highlight stretch of his season-high 16-point performance.

Bono earns spot as lone goalie of 16 Hermann Trophy semifinalists

By Matt Schneidman asst. copy editor

Syracuse goalkeeper Alex Bono was named one of 16 semifinalists for the Missouri Athletic Club Her-

mann Trophy, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America announced Tuesday.

The award is given to college soccer’s top player and Bono is the only goalie of all the semifinalists.

This season, the junior set Syracuse single-season records with a .55 goals-against average, 12 shutouts and 1,949 minutes played.

“For me, yeah, you can look at this year as personally my best year,

but I still won’t take too much credit for it,” Bono said. “Especially for a goalkeeper, it all depends on how the team in front of you is playing. And this year they’ve been so good, it’s hard for me to look bad.”

From Sept. 13 to Oct. 7, the Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year didn’t surrender a goal for a total of 537:34. He finished seventh nationally in both goals
