Student discusses addressWhitman junior was invited to Obama’s last State of the Union
By Rachel Sandlerasst. news editor
Sean McAllister stood and cheered as he watched President Barack Obama, smiling and shaking hands, walk into the House Chamber to deliver his final State of the Union address.
McAllister, a junior finance major in the Martin J. Whit-man School of Management at Syracuse University, was sitting to Obama’s diagonal right in the upper balcony, a vantage point that allowed him to see first-hand some of the most powerful men and women in the country — including the president.
“Just being in the same room as (Obama) was insane,” McAl-lister said. “I was in more shock than I thought I was going to be. It was almost like a shell shock where all I was doing was just focusing on him.”
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) brought McAllister as his “invited guest” to the State of the Union on Jan. 12. All Con-gress members are given one ticket to a bring a guest — any-one of their choosing — to sit in the visitor’s gallery, according to Syracuse.com.
McAllister was one of nine college students brought by Democratic senators to the State of the Union as part of the #InTheRed campaign, according to Roll Call. The hashtag was used online to promote a set of policy propos-als aimed at lowering student debt and increasing college affordability. Leading up to the State of the Union, Demo-cratic politicians used the
DURHAM, N.C. — Michael Gbinije raised both his arms up in the air. Mike
Krzyzewski flung his fist in no apparent direction, pleading for a foul that would never come. The screaming Cameron Crazies that had willed Duke almost all the way back from an eight-point deficit were silent except for one blue-painted fan who shouted, “you suck” at the referees.
It was all in a split second — frenet-ic and fast — but etched as the most important win of Syracuse’s season. Nine days before, a loss dropped SU to 0-4 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, one away from the worst conference start in program history.
But in that one moment, not even a second after the backboard
light went red, a season once teetering on the brink of being lost found its reset button.
“I’m still stuck on this game,” Gbinije said with a smile. “Just ref lecting.”
Syracuse got its first win at Cameron Indoor Stadium over Duke as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Blue Devils lost their third straight for the first time in nine years. The Orange won just its second game on the road in six tries. On Monday, Syracuse (13-7, 3-4 ACC) put the past in the past, and restarted its season with a 64-62 win
over No. 20 Duke (14-5, 3-3) to win its third straight conference game.
Tyler Roberson willed his way on the glass, grabbing a Cameron Indoor-record 20 boards. Syracuse hit 11 3s, each more cold-blooded than the last. Four players finished with exactly 14 points, and everyone in SU’s tight rotation played a part.
“It is a great game and it is a great place to play,” Boeheim said. “… You are going to have crazy things happen, and that is why you just play through it.”
Syracuse played from behind six times on Monday night. The first comeback finished with a fast-break layup from Gbinije to knot the score at 16 in the first half. The fourth came on a long 3 from Malachi Richardson early in
the second half in front of the SU bench to piggy back a transition 3 from Cooney just 37 seconds before. The final comeback seemed cemented as Gbinije’s 3 from the top of the key put the Orange up 59-51, silencing his old home crowd to its quietest mur-mur of the night.
SU had witnessed its season begin to collapse in the weeks prior. No rebounding against Wisconsin. No shooting against St. John’s. Poor late-game turnovers in a loss to Pittsburgh and an Orange team that looked fatigued by the time Miami finished a late second-half comeback to start the new year.

Casey Spor suffered a loss on Sept. 11, 2001. Her father, Joe Spor, was a firefighter with the Rescue 3 unit of the New York Fire Department who died during the terrorist attacks.
When Spor, a junior exercise sci-ence major, turned 18 she decided to remember her father by getting his signature tattooed on the top of her left wrist.
“My dad was a quiet guy with a huge heart, but he always lit up the room with his smile,” Spor said. “He loved to work out so they called him ‘pillow arms’ at the firehouse.”
Her father’s signature has large, looping capital letters starting off his first, middle and last names, and small, tight cursive letters for the rest. The signature was taken from her father’s passport by the tattoo artist and recreated on her wrist in black ink.
“I always wanted to have a piece of him wherever I went so I decided to get a tattoo,” Spor said, adding that she thought the tat-too was a beautiful way for her to honor his memory.
She had her mind set on get-ting a tattoo since she was 16 years old, but it wasn’t until two years later, on her 18th her birth-
day, that she got the design. Coin-cidently, the day also happened to be Father’s Day, which Spor said showed her that her father was supporting her decision.
Spor’s tattoo did not come as a surprise to her family, she said.
“Both my younger sisters want to get the tattoo when they turn 18 as well,” Spor said.
While her two sisters are plan-ning to get the same signature design as her, Spor’s mother and younger brother have different tattoos to memorialize their hus-band and father, respectively. Her mother has her husband’s badge on her calf and her brother has the twin towers tattooed on his left shoulder blade.
Not only do the tattoos connect her with her father, Spor said, they also bring the family closer togeth-er in his memory.
“It’s nice to have a piece of my dad with me wherever I go, and tell his story to others who ask about my tattoo and carry on his legacy,” Spor said.

SU community members celebrate MLK Day(FROM LEFT) GERALD BROWN AND NINA RODGERS walk outside Hendricks Chapel to tie balloons and ribbons to a tree as a part of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Remembrance Ceremony held Monday. liam sheehan asst. photo editor
By Satoshi Sugiyamaasst. copy editor
About 25 people gathered at Hen-dricks Chapel on Monday after-noon to celebrate late civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. with a remembrance ceremony held for the first time on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
“We feel like, as the university we want to have something on the actual day that we were supposed to commemorate,” said Catherine
Kellman, chairwoman for the Martin Luther King, Jr. 2016 Cel-ebration committee and assistant director for the Office of Residence Life at Syracuse University.
The attendees listened to senior Koy Adams read a poem and watched a tribute video featuring King’s “I Have A Dream” speech. They subse-quently went outside to wrap orange ribbons and balloons around trees promoting the themes of the commit-tee: Remember, Celebrate and Act.
Kellman said the ribbons will be hanging on the SU Quad for the next three weeks.
The university will hold the 31st annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration on Sunday, Jan. 31 at the Carrier Dome. Marc Lamont Hill, a professor of African Ameri-can Studies at Morehouse College, will present a keynote speech,
according to an SU News release.Malik Evans, student director of
marketing of the Celebration com-mittee and a junior dual major in advertising and marketing, said the biggest takeaway he wants attend-ees to bring back home is King’s message of equality highlighted in his “I Have A Dream” speech.
“I hope that people will take something from this event — and also from the celebration event that we have on Jan. 31 — and really kind of embrace these ideas together and embrace the themes of what Dr. King envisioned,” Evans said.
Evans said the biggest challenge of putting together the ceremony was the timing, since students are just returning to campus around Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Lynn Clervois, a senior bio-chemistry major, said she attended
the event to start off the year right with sense of togetherness and cel-ebrate King paving a way for a lot of minority students.
“We are all here together and we all follow the same dream and we hope to reach success together,” Clervois said.
SUNY-ESF may see minimum wage increaseBy Tara Toltonstaff writer
The minimum wage for SUNY employees is expected to gradually increase beginning in February and ultimately $15 an hour in 2018. This increase will affect employees at SUNY-ESF.
The wage increase for State University of New York employ-
ees, announced in a press release on the New York state’s website, comes after New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo raised the state’s minimum wage to $9 last year.
The increase will affect about 28,000 full-time SUNY employ-ees, including staff, student work-ers and work study users, accord-ing to the release.
The increase to $15 an hour will
come in progression. The minimum wage for SUNY employees will increase to $9.75 an hour in Feb-ruary and ultimately reach $15 an hour on Dec. 31, 2018. The install-ments will cost a total of about $28 million once fully implemented, and that expense will be covered by SUNY, according to the release.
Cuomo said in the release that this gradual increase will be
absorbed by businesses over time.The SUNY Board will vote on
the wage increase for the schools later this month, according to the press release.
During a rally to “fight for eco-nomic justice” and to promote the minimum wage increase, SUNY Board Chairman H. Carl McCall said in Cuomo’s release that SUNY

Off Campus Homicide Arrest
A Syracuse native was arrested on Dec. 12 in the homicide of Zavion Escobar, a 15-year-old who was shot and killed on Hope Avenue on Oct. 14. The homicide led to an off-campus pursuit of suspects by the Syra-cuse Police Department, and the chase’s proximity to the Syracuse University cam-pus caused SU to issue an Orange Alert with a message to “shelter in place.”
Keary Moore, 21, was charged with mur-der in the second degree, as a result of an ongoing investigation, according to a Dec. 12 SPD release. SPD patrol officers stopped Moore around 2 a.m. on Dec. 12 for a traf-fic infraction. Moore provided a false name, according to the release, and was interviewed by SPD detectives in the Criminal Investi-gations Division. Moore was also charged with false personation and traffic violations, according to the release, and was being held in the Onondaga County Justice Center.
The investigation of the homicide will be continuing and more arrests are possible, according to the release.
Nu Alpha Phi
The two Nu Alpha Phi members charged with hazing after a fraternity pledge almost lost four fingers in March pleaded guilty in city court on Dec. 15 to a violation of hazing.
Jeffrey Yam and Tae Kim were charged in March with hazing in the first degree, a mis-demeanor, and they both originally pleaded not guilty. At the Dec. 15 hearing, the charge was downgraded to hazing in the second degree, a violation. Prosecutor Peter Hakes cited the fact that neither defendant has a criminal record as well as the fact that Syra-cuse University has “addressed the conduct.”
Yam and Kim were sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge under the condi-tion they stay out of trouble. Because the charge was reduced to a violation, Yam and Kim, who are no longer enrolled at SU, won’t have criminal records.
The Nu Alpha Phi pledge nearly lost four fingers due to frostbite after he was forced to do aerobic exercises as punishment for “failing to perform their daily duties prop-erly.” Pledges were dressed in sweatshirts, pants, boots and no gloves, then forced to do exercises in the cold and snow. The incident caused the victim severe pain in both hands
and he was treated for severe frostbite at Crouse Hospital, police said in March.
Nu Alpha Phi was suspended from the university. The fraternity is no longer listed on the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs website.
Park Point
Dominick Kelly, 27, was arrested by the Syr-acuse Police Department on Dec. 16 in the Dec. 14 robbery and stabbing of a Syracuse University student in the Park Point apart-ment building, according to an SPD release.
Kelly, a Syracuse native, was arrested on the 400 block of S. Salina St. and charged with burglary in the first degree, assault in the second degree, grand larceny in the fourth degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, according to the release.
Kelly was awaiting arraignment at the Onondaga County Justice Center as of Dec. 16, according to the release.
Kelly had entered the student’s Park Point apartment at 417 Comstock Ave. through a window on the morning of Dec. 14. After the student woke to find the man in her apartment, a struggle ensued and the student was stabbed in the upper back with a knife, according to the release.
SU ambulance took the victim to Upstate University Hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries, according to the release.
The Department of Public Safety and SPD worked together on the investigation in order to arrest the suspect, according to an updated SPD release.
National Veterans Resource Complex
Syracuse University launched a design com-petition on Dec. 17 for the National Veter-ans Resource Complex, which would help “solidify” central New York as the “hub” of research and programming connected to veterans and military affairs.
Architect Martha Thorne will lead SU’s search for a design partner. Thorne is the dean of the IE School of Architecture and Design in Madrid and the executive direc-tor of the Pritzker Prize — the architecture equivalent to the Nobel Prize, according to a Dec. 17 SU News release.
Thorne will be collaborating with the NVRC Design Selection Committee, which is made up of SU faculty, staff and students and some design professionals, to have the architectural firms submit proposals, according to the release.
The NVRC will eventually serve as the home of SU’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families. It will also house SU’s Office of Veteran and Military Affairs, as well as many other programs, including the Air Force and Army ROTC.
The NVRC was part of a winning bid from the Central New York Regional Economic Development Council that won $500 mil-lion in state funding as part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Upstate Revitalization Initiative.
The building of the ROTC is part of SU’s Campus Master Plan, the Fast Forward ini-tiative that focuses on the improvement of SU’s infrastructure.
The first round of firms will be selected and notified by mid-January. The finalists will hand in design material on April 11 and in late April they will present their proposals to the selection committee.
The winning proposal and firm will be announced in May.
SU, SUNY-ESF Partnership
Syracuse University and SUNY-ESF announced several new agreements on Jan. 13 that will affect the academic and business relationships between the universities.
The business side of agreements includes an agreement that the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry — with transitional assistance from SU — will make health and wellness services available to its students from other sources at the beginning of the 2016-17 aca-demic year, according to an SU News release.
The schools also announced a five-year services agreement under which SU will con-tinue to provide recreational services, library services, student affairs/student activity services, disability services and information technology services to SUNY-ESF, accord-ing to the release. This agreement includes instructional services, allowing students from each school to enroll in classes at the other school, according to the release.
SU has agreed to assist SUNY-ESF as it begins to provide information technology services directly to its students, faculty and staff.
On the academic side, SU Chancellor Kent Syverud and SUNY-ESF President Quentin Wheeler announced in the release a partnership that will allow both SU and SUNY-ESF to create new academic research opportunities and pursue joint projects.
hashtag on Twitter and wore red pins as a part of the campaign.
“With tuition costs continuing to rise, middle-class families and their children are forced to take on significant debts in order to obtain a college diploma,” Schumer said in a release the day before the State of the Union address. ”Because of this, student loan debt is a huge burden on the shoulders of millions of young Americans, and it is holding back their ability to achieve the American Dream and is a significant drag on our economy.”
McAllister interned at Schumer’s Syracuse office last semester. When he got an email ask-ing for students interested in accompanying Schumer to the State of the Union address, he said it was “an opportunity of a lifetime.”
McAllister was chosen in part because his story emphasizes the need to decrease student debt. He said he is already $30,000 in debt and works two jobs in addition to
being a full-time student at SU.“It’s scary because getting a job out of
college is not a guarantee anymore. I’m not even sure if I’ll have a job coming out,” he said. “And then coming out of college with-out a job, I’ll be starting to pay back these loans, but how am I going to do it?”
Five days before the State of the Union address, McAllister said Schumer’s office called him with the news that he had been chosen. At the time of the call, McAllister was on his way back from playing golf.
“I thought someone was playing a joke or something,” he said. “But they said it was real and they explained why and I immediately knew I wanted to do it because it’s a good cause.”
Before the address, McAllister met and spoke with high-ranking Democratic sena-tors such as Harry Reid (D-N.V.) and Debbie Stabenow (D-M.I.), who also brought college students as part of the #InTheRed campaign.
McAllister said they stuck to just talking about the #InTheRed campaign.
“They really wanted to push for stu-dents, which I thought was interesting
because there’s not necessarily a major voice for students when it comes to laws and politics,” he added.
The president did talk about college affordability briefly in his speech, though.
“We have to make college affordable for every American. No hardworking student should be stuck in the red. We’ve already reduced student loan payments to 10 per-cent of a borrower’s income,” Obama said. “And that’s good. But now, we’ve actually got to cut the cost of college.”
Although McAllister was in shock dur-ing most of the speech, he said it felt like an accomplishment when Obama addressed student debt.
“Just the fact that he mentioned it is a good start,” he said. “Whether or not I think he should have talked about it more, I would leave that for politicians to decide. But I would say that, we went there with a mission and he mentioned it in his final State of the Union address. I think it’s at least a great first step, definitely a positive step.”

President Barack Obama issued an executive action earlier this month to tighten controls on the problematic “gun show loophole,” which allows customers to purchase guns
from a private seller without undergoing a background check, according to an article by Vox.
Through his executive order Obama also wants to make background checks more efficient and improve the current tracking system for lost or stolen guns, accord-ing to the article. Obama used this method because Congress has refused to pass any kind of legislation regarding gun control multiple times.
The Daily Orange interviewed via email Grant Reeher, professor of political science at Syracuse University; Danielle Thomsen, assistant professor of political science at SU; Kristi Andersen, professor of political science at SU; and Christopher Faricy, assis-tant professor of political science at SU, about their opinions on Obama’s recent statement.The Daily Orange: What do you think of Obama using an executive action to pass these gun laws?Christopher Faricy: This is not a surprise given the current political context and the specific issue. President Obama is dealing with a divided govern-ment, meaning that Republicans control Congress, and during an era of high polarization in which the two parties are far apart ideologically. In addition, the (National Rifle Association) is a very strong and federated lobbying group and supporters of gun con-trol while numerous are unorganized. This all makes
passing a bill difficult resulting in the president turn-ing to executive orders.Danielle Thomsen: One point to note is that gun laws are controversial, which politicizes the use of an execu-tive order more than usual. Personally, I am supportive of more restrictive gun laws, but I think Obama needs to be cautious not to entirely sidestep Congress given the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers in our political system. However, it does not seem controversial to say that some type of legislative action is warranted in light of the many, many episodes of violence we have seen in recent years.The D.O.: Do you think Obama’s actions will have a lasting impact on America?Grant Reeher: Executive orders can be changed or repealed by a future president. The Republican can-didates for president have said they will repeal these orders, but once they are in place that may be harder to do politically. Again, the new measures are rela-tively marginal compared to the status quo.
… Note, however, that in some states, like here in New York, there will be little impact because our state laws are already stricter than these changes at a national level. In New York, any sale or transfer of firearms is subject to a background check, except between immediate family members.C.F.: This action narrows who can sell guns, adds more FBI to conduct background checks and tightens existing regulations. Yes, it will slightly reduce gun violence but real reform can only be accomplished with the assistance of Congress. Executive actions can be overturned by the next president so which party controls the White House will determine the
impact of the law.The D.O.: What do you think the government should be doing in terms of gun control legislation?C.F.: We could follow Australia and conduct a mas-sive buyback of semi-automatic shotguns and rifles. We could pass new gun laws that prohibit private sales, require that all weapons be individually registered to their owners and require that gun buyers present a “gen-uine reason” for needing each gun. No right is absolute and all rights are regulated for safety reasons.Kristi Andersen: I believe the federal government should certainly reinstate the ban on assault weapons (this law was on the books from 1994 to 2004). We should restore funding for the Centers for Disease Control to study causes of gun violence. Thorough background checks should be required for all pur-chasers of handguns. Guns should be banned in public places (probably by state rather than federal law). I would note that the majority of Americans favor mea-sures such as these.The D.O.: In his State of the Union address, Obama did not make gun control a main focus, but did leave an empty seat for gun violence victims. Do you think this was a good way to get his point across, rather than addressing it up front? G.R.: Presidents since (Ronald) Reagan have been using seats at the State of the Union to make points. The President took a more symbolic approach by leaving a seat open to represent gun violence victims. I don’t think it changed many minds — his press con-ferences where he shares his emotion are much more powerful, I think.

New York should aid, rather than criminalize, homelessnessThe Daily Orange Editorial Board unani-mously agrees that homeless people in the city of Syracuse should not be involuntarily placed indoors when temperatures fall below freezing. An executive order issued by Gov. Andrew Cuomo went into effect earlier this month that requires local governments and homeless shelters in New York state to move homeless people from off of the streets when those outdoors are vulnerable to weather-related health risks, including hypothermia. To help implement this, Cuomo cited that under New York state law, the state can take appropriate steps, including forcible removal, to protect individuals from harm-ing themselves or others. As individuals with agency, the home-less should not be required to go indoors by local law enforcement, a plan of action that has been backed publicly by Syracuse city officials. Rather than place emphasis on arresting those who refuse to go indoors, the state government should instead work to ensure that resources for the homeless are well-communicated, improved and are accessible statewide. This is due in part to the fact that arresting at-risk individuals opens the door to criminalizing homelessness entirely, a concern that The New York Times reports has been raised by Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner in response to Cuomo’s order. In this way Cuomo’s call transcends political boundaries and edges onto social discrimination facing homeless people. Although the order says that under the New York Constitution, the state has an obligation to provide aid, care and support
for the needy and to protect the health of its citizens, it can be argued that the order came from a place of privilege. To respectfully navigate this measure while retaining its primary intent on the safety of New York citizens, local law enforcement officers should strongly encour-age, rather than require, that the homeless seek out shelters in cases of extreme weather. This would align with the improvement of these resources to make them more appeal-ing, a measure that would address concerns brought to light by the homeless and advo-cates alike that attribute poor conditions and limited space as potential reasons behind a refusal to go to a shelter. Although it appears that Cuomo is working in the direction of improving the quality and accessibility of these resources, the weakest point of his plan lies failure to take into consideration that the severity of homelessness across the state is not uniform. At the State of the State address last week, he proposed a $10.4 billion commit-ment to address homelessness, the largest investment of this kind in the state’s history, in addition to improving the conditions of New York state homeless shelters, according to the press release. But it must be taken into consideration that in Syracuse, there are approximately 400 homeless people living at shelters and 10 homeless people living outside who refuse to seek indoor shelter, homeless-ness advocates told Syracuse.com in early January. Yet, as of November 2015, there were 59,929 homeless people sleeping in New York City shelters each night with
thousands unsheltered sleeping on the streets, according to the advocacy group Coalition for the Homeless. Cuomo and the state government must remain conscious of the fact that each town, city and village in New York faces a different situation when it comes to homelessness. When finalizing the proposal, state funding decisions should reflect that the issue of homelessness itself is not one for the state, and every single one of its taxpayers, to address. This could be accomplished by the
state granting a set amount of funding to cities working to alleviate homelessness to use in a way local leaders see fit to meet the needs of the respective city. In this way, the current narrative can be shifted to one that is geared toward address-ing homelessness as a local municipality issue. Local governments should encourage citizens to seek safety, rather than arrest them, and the state should guarantee that resources are available for a healthier approach than what Cuomo has presented.

According to a new report by youth empowerment group The Young Invincibles, “tuition and fees at both 4-year and 2-year institutions rose 28 per-cent since the last recession.” Something needs to be done about college affordability before it spirals out of control. There needs to be a response at the fed-eral and state level to counter this trend — a call echoed last week by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) when he invited Syracuse Uni-versity student Sean McAllister to President Barack Obama’s last State of the Union Address. McAl-lister accompanied Schumer at the speech to represent his struggle with balancing work and school in order to pay off his large amount of debt. Luckily, the top GOP pri-mary candidates in the polls have offered ideas to make college more affordable and Republican voters need to know who is going to be best on this issue before primary voting commences.Donald Trump: Business-man, current Republican Party frontrunnerPlan Breakdown: When asked about reducing the price of col-lege in November 2015, Trump responded that a new federal government agency is needed. It was an interesting take given that Trump has been one of the most vocal candidates against common core bureaucrats in Washington D.C. At an Iowa town hall meet-ing, he said, “The one program that the U.S. makes a whole lot of money with is student loans and that’s maybe the one program they shouldn’t be making money with.” He also has been consis-tently supportive of refinancing loans in order to get students going and “above water” again.Reaction: While his plan may not be the most conservative, I think Trump is on to something. The government shouldn’t use stu-dent loans as a for-profit business. Instead, the government should be responsible and make sure that it’s looking out for the people. As far as refinancing loans, which also happens to be more of a liberal idea, the debt is so far out of control that it may be needed. USA Today reported in August that only half of the $1.19 trillion in overall student loan debt is in repayment. Students have been stuck paying at high interest rates without
the guarantee of a job, which may be a contributing factor to the current loan default rate of 12 percent, according to the Generation Opportunity report. More students should be allowed to restructure their payments to be more fair.Marco Rubio: Florida sena-tor, currently third in most pollsPlan Breakdown: Rubio defi-nitely takes the most unique and substantive approach on this issue. He told “Fox and Friends” in August, “The prob-lem we have today isn’t just that college is too expensive, it’s that our system is outdated.” Rubio is an advocate for a model in which private investors loan students the money to pay tuition costs. In return, those students would be asked to give a set percentage of their income back over the next 10 years, a similar idea to New York’s Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan. On his website, Rubio also lists how he would reform the accreditation system in order to let students transfer credits to traditional institutions from their real-life work experience more easily.Reaction: Rubio’s proposed idea is a great free-market con-cept. It takes big government out of the equation and would allow students to pay less over a longer period of time with their disposable income. It will pro-vide students with new ways to receive credits and eventually a degree without having to pay as many overpriced class fees. The only problem with Rubio’s plan is that there will be students who aren’t eligible because their salary in a given field may be too risky for an investor.The Bottom Line Compared to Trump, Rubio has the best plan so far by a long shot to significantly help the pocket of middle and lower class individu-als pay off student debt. Rubio has a specific plan that highlights capitalistic principles and has the potential to aid students all over the country. Even if it isn’t a perfect plan, it is the best step forward for getting families struggling to pay for higher education back on track.Kyle O’Connor is a sophomore sport management and politi-cal science dual major.

student life
Loan forgiveness plan offers flexibility
While there is an unfor-tunate stereotype of the typical humani-
ties graduate — broke, living at home and working as a barista — students who study drama, art or poetry have an undeniable spirit. Some call it passion and others call it unemployable. The good news is that humani-ties students aren’t alone in their financial risks. Today’s high tuition prices mean student debt transcends all areas of study, so it essentially becomes a choice between drowning in debt or drowning in relatively less debt, depending on the job prospects of the selected major. But maybe New York students won’t have to choose anymore. New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently launched “Get on Your Feet,” a loan forgiveness program to assist New York college graduates in paying their student loans. It offers relief for up to two years after graduation, provided that individuals are living in New York, earning less than $50,000 per year and enrolled in the fed-eral Pay as You Earn plan. With debt forgiveness as a viable option, students can receive much needed financial help and as an unintended bonus, approach their futures with more optimism. Cuomo’s program opens doors for the passionate art or literature student who may have been looking to settle for a major with a guaranteed job and minimal debt. Acting as a safety net, the plan has the potential to free those students from the guilt or inse-curity of “wasting” money on an unconventional degree. This mentality of the unem-ployable humanities major has been seared into our brains, and may be a contributing factor as to
why some colleges, like the Uni-versity of Maryland, are seeing a decline in the number of English majors. Although Syracuse University English department chairwoman Erin Mackie said she hasn’t observed anything similar at SU, it is safe to say the stigma stands. “I always am very attentive to trying to dismantle this idea that English, history and philosophy are somehow impediments to employ-ment,” Mackie said. “Because they are not.” She added that departments have to modify, to some extent, the way they promote their programs to prospective families, often by adapting to the cultural and tech-nological changes of the market. Because a major is not a set path to a career, humanities stu-dents are not destined for failure or unemployment. For instance, data from George Mason Univer-sity found that English majors end up in various jobs, from education, to management and even media. In fact, the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce found in 2011 that recent liberal arts and humanities graduates faced a similar unemployment rate to STEM graduates: 9 percent and 9.1 percent, respectively. Despite the facts, there is a disproportion-ate fear of the humanities. At the end of the day, getting a degree from a credible institution is what matters most. According to a 2014 study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, “col-lege graduates as a whole fared the best... experiencing unemploy-ment rates that were about half the rate all workers experienced.”
This isn’t to say that all majors reap the same rewards or a call for students to drop everything to focus on the arts – unless that’s your true calling. Our economy isn’t set up to have equal numbers of nurses and musicians. It is real-istic that certain majors, ones with more technical training, are more likely to be guaranteed jobs. But with Cuomo’s new pro-gram, students with less stable job prospects may still be able to stay financially afloat. Of course, this itself doesn’t make a major in the humanities any easier or any more lucrative. Students are still vulnerable to the harsh job market and the program only protects hem for up to two years after grad-uation. But it helps knowing you’ll have a backup plan, which makes a degree in the arts or humanities seem less risky. Ideally, students would not be burdened by debt in the first place. And it’s not safe to rely solely on a plan like “Get on Your Feet” while taking out massive loans or choosing a major. But the program shows that slowly, politicians and decision-makers are realizing that higher education should not be an overpriced luxury. A college degree is necessary for a well-paying job, but college is about so much more than that — sorry Dad. It’s about self-dis-covery, growth and the freedom to study what captures your interest. Sometimes the subject that captures your interest can feel like a gamble. But with loan forgiveness programs, students can feel more secure in pursuing their passions.Rashika Jaipuriar is a freshman broadcast and digital journal-ism major. Her column appears weekly.

How Syracuse University conserved energy over breakBy Bridget McAllisterstaff writer
Each year over Winter Break, Syracuse Uni-versity takes advantage of the absence of students by cutting down on its expenditure of thermal energy.
The university’s Energy Systems and Sustainability Management department begins the process by reducing heat in academic and administrative buildings on Dec. 23 and dorm buildings on Dec. 19 — just after students leave their rooms for Winter Break.
Nathan Prior, associate director of energy conservation at SU, said buildings are kept at an average temperature of 68 degrees when main campus is occupied in colder months. But when campus has cleared out, buildings are brought down to just 60 degrees.
“The biggest reason why it’s 60 and not anything lower is because … you don’t want to put yourself in a position where it could potentially freeze any pipes,” Prior said. “We would put ourselves at risk if we (shut buildings off completely).”
Students who live in apartments on South Campus are given the option of stay-ing at SU over Winter Break, but those who choose to leave must inform admin-istration so the heating in their individual apartments can be reduced to the same temperature, Prior said.
He added that this is all controlled by the campus energy management system.
The Energy Systems and Sustainability Management department also has control over lighting systems in buildings and is responsible for shutting off lights across campus, Prior said.
However, Prior said much of the focus of energy conservation efforts is based in reduction to heating.
Statistics on these reductions take into account each source of energy expendi-ture that has been reduced, he said. These sources include natural gas, electrical power and steam power.
Steam power is used mainly for tempera-ture control, which makes up a significant portion of the power reduced over break, said Thomas Reddinger, SU’s director of
steam operations.Steam is used to power the turbines of
chilled water machines that cool campus
buildings in the hotter months, Reddinger said, but in winter, steam accounts mainly for heating, hot water and humidification.
Reddinger added that steam produced by SU’s systems also serves to power a por-tion of the heating at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Crouse Hospital, the State University of New York Upstate Medical
University and the SUNY College of Envi-ronmental Science and Forestry.
Prior said measurements of how much energy was saved are provided primarily by National Grid, a British electricity and gas utility company responsible for much of the northeastern United States.
When measuring saved energy, the Ener-gy Systems and Sustainability Management department uses the weather and tempera-tures over break to provide context for how much energy has been saved, Prior said.
He added that because December 2015 was unusually warm for Syracuse, staff members will measure the university’s energy usage against previous years to determine how much of the energy saved was caused by hotter temperatures, and how much was controlled by the department.
The measurements from this past break will not be fully counted and available until some time in mid-February, as the cuts to lighting and heat span two billing periods — December 2015 and January 2016, Prior said.
Minimum wage increases affect NY fast food workersBy Conor Riedstaff writer
Three minimum wage increases in New York state took effect on Dec. 31, raising the overall minimum wage and setting specific minimum wages for fast food workers and workers who get tipped.
New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo
announced the increases in a statement on the state’s website.
“No one who works full time should ever be condemned to a life of poverty,” he said in the statement.
He added that he will continue working toward a $15 minimum wage.
The state’s new minimum wage is $9 per hour, up from the previous minimum of $8.75.
Fast food workers will make even more than that, with their minimum wage being increased to $10.50 per hour in New York City and $9.75 in the rest of the state. Addi-tionally, the minimum wage for workers who are tipped was raised to $7.50.
Employers who fail to comply with these new restrictions may face fines, charges and criminal or civil punishment.
Tommy Tzivanis, an employee at Sub-way, said the franchise will be increasing statewide prices of sandwiches to offset the increase in minimum wage.
He added that he was confused by Cuomo’s focus to increase wages for fast food workers.
“There are so many other sectors that deserve to have higher minimum wages than the fast food industry — like those working in hospitals,” Tzivanis said.
Employees at Dunkin’ Donuts and McDon-ald’s both said they were not able to discuss the
minimum wage increase. An employee at Roly Poly said the franchise did have to increase the minimum wage at each of its stores.
Nigel Travis, chief executive officer of Dunkin’ Brands Group, said in a TheStreet article that companies are already feeling the effects of the wage increase.
“Franchise owners are less-than-happy about minimum wage increases for their employees,” Travis said in the article. “There is anxiety over minimum wages, so franchises have increased prices a lot.”
The biggest reason why it’s 60 and not anything lower is because ... you don’t want to put yourself in a position where it could potentially freeze any pipes.Nathan Prior associate director of energy conservation at su
Student Association President Aysha Seedat and SA Vice President Jane Hong were among the attendees.
Hong said she was glad to come together on MLK Day to commemorate his memo-ries and act in his name.
“There’s always work to be done and I think for us to come together as the university com-munity is really important,” Hong said.
Angelo Coker, attendee and program-ming director at CommunityU, said he was proud to be part of the celebration.
Coker said: “Dr. King stood for unifying people of all race, creeds, religions, organiza-tions, and today this is a wonderful remem-brance of how the community and the cam-pus — as students and faculty alike — come together to share that dream and let those know that there’s still hope for change on the community and on the campus.”

NY state cracks down on underage drinking, fake IDsBy Rachel Sandlerasst. news editor
Law enforcement agencies in 2015 made 175 underage drinking arrests in the Syra-cuse region and confiscated more than 750 fraudulent identification documents state-wide, New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced in a press release on Friday.
The crackdown on underage drinking and fake identification comes as Cuomo has pledged to increase enforcement efforts in the state as part of Operation Prevent, a statewide initiative aimed at reducing
underage drinking and the use of fake IDs, according to the release.
In total, law enforcement made 760 under-age drinking arrests statewide in 2015, which is 114 more arrests than the previous year, according to the release. This includes 175 in the Syracuse region, which includes Broome, Cayuga, Cortland, Jefferson, Onondaga, Oswego, Tioga and Tompkins counties.
The most arrests were made in the Albany region, with 331 underage drinking arrests. The Rochester region saw 215 arrests.
“Underage drinking and the bad decisions that can follow have the potential for life-long
consequences,” Cuomo said in the release.The State Liquor Authority also cracked
down on the sale of alcohol to minors. In 2015, the SLA prosecuted 1,552 licensees for underage sales in New York state — a 50 percent increase from 1,036 prosecutions in 2010, according to the release.
Part of the education efforts of Opera-tion Prevent included the distribution of an electronic brochure over the summer to thousands of bar owners across the state that provided ways to authenticate and iden-tify fake IDs, according to the release.
Austin Valentino, the general manager of
Marshall Street’s DJ’s on the Hill, said the bar staff takes every precaution to prevent underage drinking and the use of fake IDs. He said DJ’s uses an ID scanner that checks each ID against a national database of security measures that legal IDs are supposed to have.
Valentino added that DJ’s also keeps a data-base of every ID that comes through the bar.
“We make every effort to combat fake IDs, but with that being said, the technology used to make fake IDs is getting so good that it’s getting harder and harder to prevent,” he said. “It’s an uphill battle constantly, but we do what we can.”
schools are proud to further the minimum wage requirement.
“We look forward to joining Governor Cuomo in setting a model for state entities and public university systems across the country,” McCall said in the release.
SUNY-ESF declined to comment on how this may affect their campus directly. Claire Dunn, director of the Office of Communica-tions at SUNY-ESF, said in an email that it would be “premature for anyone at ESF to comment on what any increase in the state’s minimum wage would mean.”
However, in the central New York area, more than 4,000 SUNY employees will be affected by this change, including employ-ees at SUNY Upstate Medical University and SUNY Empire State College, which is located in Saratoga Springs, New York.
Cuomo said during the rally that this raise is impartial because too many people are not reaping enough benefits from their work.
“Yet the truth is that today’s minimum wage still leaves far too many people behind — unacceptably condemning them to a life of poverty even while they work full-time,” he said.
The project has been in the works since 2013 and first affected those in the food and tipped service industries.
Cuomo said at the rally that raising the minimum wage would bring economic opportunity back to millions of “hardwork-ing” New Yorkers and “lead the nation in the fight for fair pay.”
U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez also gave a positive take of Cuomo’s actions.
“President (Barack) Obama and I believe in the basic proposition that if you work full-time in America, you shouldn’t have to raise your family in poverty,” Perez said
in Cuomo’s release. “That is why I applaud Governor Cuomo, the (Service Employees International Union), and workers for com-ing together to advocate for an increase in the minimum wage for all New Yorkers.”
This latest announcement has sparked some fierce debate around the country. Con-versations about raising the national mini-mum wage ignited controversy between pol-iticians, business owners and labor workers.
State Sen. John DeFrancisco (R-Syra-cuse) said in a Syracuse.com article that Cuomo is trying to “force the Legislature’s hand,” but that is “not how democracy is supposed to work.”
Francisco also argued that the business community must be a part of the discussion to know what the full impact will be.
Greg Biryla, executive director of Unshackle Upstate, said in the same Syra-cuse.com article that if “you truly support the Upstate economy, then you can’t support
this unprecedented wage mandate.”“The small businesses and farms that
power our economy will be devastated, jobs will be lost, consumer costs will skyrocket and taxes will rise,” Biryla added.
Barbara Bowen, president of professional staff who represents City University of New York (CUNY) staff and faculty, also opposed the recent announcement regarding SUNY because CUNY is not yet covered by the wage increase.
“No institution does more than CUNY to overcome the income inequality that the governor decries,” she said in a New York Times article.
Cities in New York state such as Buf-falo, Rochester and Syracuse have also announced increases in minimum wage since October 2015. Increases are expected to start in as soon as two years, with full implementation by 2021.

Stephen Carrasco has exchanged his thigh-high leather boots for turn-of-the-century Russian garb in the revival of “Fiddler on the Roof,” which opened on Broadway Dec. 22. The Syracuse University alumnus graduated nine years ago and ended a two-year stint as dance captain for the show “Kinky Boots” last year. Now, as he is play-ing a villainous character in “Fid-dler,” The Daily Orange caught up with him to find out all the back-stage gossip from his new project.
The Daily Orange: You are in the cast of the “Fiddler on the Roof” revival. What is the show about?Stephen Carrasco: The show is about a family in the fictional town of Anatevka and it’s about a father and his three daughters, and how he struggles with tra-dition and his religion and the way the world is changing and his daughters falling in love. At the same time he’s dealing with that, the world is changing in a way that is not going well for his people. The Jewish people are eventu-ally kicked out of their town so he has to deal with that on top of the struggles within his own family. It’s about how he copes with it and how someone’s faith can not always line up with what’s occurring in their lives, and how to deal with that. It’s a very classi-cal story and a beautiful, beauti-ful show.
The D.O.: You were dance captain for “Kinky Boots.” What are you doing for “Fiddler”?S.C.: I am a Russian in “Fiddler on the Roof” so I am not a Jewish person in the show. I am actually one of the people that oppresses the Jewish people. So I’m a bad guy in this one.
The D.O.: How long was it since “Fiddler” was on Broadway?S.C.: I think it’s been about ten years ago; I believe the last revival closed in about 2005 or 2006. It was right before I moved to the city right after I graduated from SU actually.
The D.O.: What is it like being part of such an iconic show?S.C.: I’ve never done a revival of such a well-known and beloved piece of musical theater, so when

Miranda Hine has made it her life’s work to change the reputation of Thornden Park.
“I’m always absolutely horri-fied with what students are told about the park,” Hine said.
Stories straight out of Alice Sebold’s “The Lovely Bones,” loosely based on her 1981 rape in Thornden Park, circulate around campus. Freshmen hear stories from peers and older students, and the rumors grow.
Although he often films in Thornden, junior film major Jus-tin Ramer still has concerns with the park’s safety.
“You know about the rape, about ‘The Lovely Bones,’” Ramer said. “That gives me a perception of what it used to be.”
There are facts to back up some of these concerns: in July last year, three people were shot in the park and one died. Car break-ins and robberies are common, Hine said. But overall, she said, these stories are exaggerated and don’t justify complete fear of the park.
As co-president of the Thorn-
den Park Association, it’s Hine’s mission to turn those negative stereotypes around.
Hine and her husband Ken moved to Syracuse in the early ‘80s. They’d previously lived in London and in New York City and were thinking of trading the big city life for something a bit quieter.
When Ken Hine got a job as a Syracuse University professor, he would walk past Thornden Park on his way to work. The neighborhood surrounding it seemed like the perfect place for the Hines to raise their young children, Miranda Hine said, and they found a home on Clarendon Street where they still reside.
The Hines loved the neighbor-hood, and they especially loved that Thornden Park was right below their house. But their neighbors weren’t so encourag-ing, telling Hine never to walk in the park alone. Instead, she would walk with her newborn through Thornden nearly every day. Hine said she’s never once felt unsafe inside the park.
“Our neighbors warned us that it was a dangerous place, but we thought it was the most beauti-ful place in the world,” Miranda Hine said.
Back in the ‘80s, Thornden Park looked very different than it does today. The carriage house was in severe disrepair, the paths were
overgrown and the rose garden was nonexistent, Miranda Hine said.
Perhaps by changing the way the park looked, Hine could change the way people saw it. So in 1983, she founded the Thorn-den Park Association and began recruiting neighbors to join.
One of those first members was Tim Rice, who lived near Thorn-den since the ‘60s and raised his children there, along with his wife. Over the years, he’s seen Thorn-den turn from an unkempt park to a place his family used as an extension of their backyard, and he attributed much of that to Hine.
“Though it’s a community activity, all through it Miranda

Glowing men sprinted down Versace’s dark runway in Milan on Jan. 16. The label opened its menswear show in an unusual way: with fiber optic-threaded clothing with batteries inside.
While Versace’s clothes could be written off as extreme, they were not outlandish when compared to other shows. Alexander McQueen showed off a full suit — jacket, pants and undershirt — all covered in a giant butterfly print. Dolce & Gabbana delivered a floral-covered, but-toned-up, denim-on-denim number. The entire Moschino show consisted of clothes that probably had guests wondering if they were at a fluorescent ‘90s rave.
Women’s fashion shows, which begin with New York Fashion Week in early February, gain more publicity and are more well known than men’s. When someone says they are going to “fashion week,” it is often assumed that they are talking about women’s fashion.
Women’s runways can be extravagant, but they manage to trickle down into the average stylish woman’s life. Trends get
copied by stores like Zara and Forever 21 and are delivered to the public in this way. I can’t picture any stores that most men shop at selling anything similar to the runway styles.
For men, it can be tricky to navigate the world of style, especially when most popular stores don’t go beyond the classic men’s looks. Fashion can be fun, and that shouldn’t be exclusive to women.
Men should seize the opportunity to explore their possibilities when it comes to fashion. When it comes to the tin foil-looking suits, it’s OK to say no thanks, but next time you’re looking for an accessory or accent piece, go for something shiny.

He said to his roommate, “If these douche-bags marchBy land or Ranger Rover on the Hill to-night,Throw a Smirnoff handle off the Crouse building archIf it is empty — and raspberry, it will shine brightOne if by land, two if by Range RoverAnd I at DJs will soon be over,Ready to ride and spread the alarm Through every dormitory village and off-campus farmFor the student body to be up and to arm

Beneath, on Walnut, lay the alcohol induced brain-deadIn their night attire on the Hill,Wrapped in dresses so short and snap-backs so chillAnd they could hear, as a young BDJ’er would dreadThe watchful eye of a camera lensCreeping through frats from Benz to BenzAnd seeming to whisper “Do something slutty”A moment that turns hot girls into puttyWith no regard for the hour or the secret dread
That it will be on Facebook and in the eyes of their parents they will be deadUnfortunately all their thoughts lay bentOn a shadowy restaurant far, far awayWhere cookies are sold almost until dayA line of Canada Goose that bends and f loatsLike a Westchester hurricane that destroys all their boats

has been the person who has really carried the ball on most of these things,” Rice said.
Hine organized gardening and other maintenance projects, borrowing successful ideas and thinking up her own ways to better the park. She reached out to SU and other groups to help them learn about historical, environmental and recreational aspects of the park. And when the deteriorating car-riage house was slated to be torn down, Hine fought for its restoration.
Saving the carriage house was one of Hine’s biggest accomplishments, Rice said.
“It’s nice to have a person that is really devoted to this,” Rice said.
Hine was raising a family and teaching
elementary school, but she found time to save the carriage house. Her effort paid off as the carriage house is now used for meet-ings and exercise classes and adds historical value to Thornden Park, as it’s the only remaining piece of the estate that once resided there.
Those living around Thornden Park now aren’t warning new neighbors to stay out of it; they’re convincing them to join the association.
Attracting more people to the park, whether it ’s students taking a break between classes, professors using it as a setting for classes or residents from nearby, is a big goal of the association. Hine said well-traveled park full of life and feels safer to spend time in.
“The more we use it, the better a place it
is,” Hine said.The association’s members have built
new exercise stations, work in the rose and herb gardens and host annual events like the Chili Bowl Festival.
Hine has also seen safety improvements firsthand. She once drove through the park at night and was quickly pulled over by police to see what she was doing.
And Hine isn’t alone. Junior film major Aryaman Khanna was once filming a scene involving a girl lying in the grass. The police stopped to question what they were doing and then checked the area to ensure it was safe to continue filming.
Increased police presence doesn’t over-ride the necessity to be smart when using the park. Hine recommends staying out of Thornden at night, especially if one is alone.
Despite the efforts of the association, Hine said Thornden Park needs attention from the city of Syracuse. She’d like to see more funding dedicated to parks, as it’s hard for the association to keep up with gardening and maintenance on its own. The association also would like to install basketball courts and improve the ampi-theater stage.
And as far as safety is concerned, before the ‘70s, children didn’t need to be accom-panied by parents to use the park. It was an unquestionably safe place for them to play every day.
“I wish those days would come back,” Hine said.
And she won’t stop working to make that wish come true.

the tunes of the opening number kick in for the first time with the full orchestra, there’s generally just applause from the audience and that’s really exciting because there’s a familiarity there that has never been there with my past musicals. I love it and it’s really fun, it’s a story that most audiences are very familiar with and yet they’re really excited to see how it unfolds and how we tell it, which is very different to seeing a show you’ve never seen before.
The D.O.: How different is the revival from the original?S.C.: Well, it’s a completely different physi-cal production besides different actors obviously — the set’s completely different, the staging is completely different. Until our revival, the Jerome Robbins estate — Jerome Robbins choreographed the original production — has required every revival of
“Fiddler on the Roof” to use the original choreography and with our revival, this is the first time they’ve allowed new choreog-raphy to be developed.
The D.O.: How does “Fiddler” compare to “Kinky Boots”?S.C.: They’re very different. “Kinky” is a very different musical in that it’s contempo-rary, it’s pop rock and it’s a feel good, uplift-ing musical. (“Fiddler”) is a little bit more of a downer but in this oddly hopeful way at the end. It’s a very different energy than “Kinky Boots” and especially playing someone who isn’t necessarily the greatest human being in the whole world has been vastly different than playing a drag queen.
The D.O.: The show opened right before Christmas. Is the audience different at that time of year? S.C.: Around the Christmas week, Decem-ber into New Year’s is a very profitable time for Broadway; it’s a very touristy season in
New York. Most shows, regardless of wheth-er they are that popular or not are packed at that time of year. Not only were we a new and exciting show, we were a new and excit-ing show during one of the most popular times in New York. It was a long process — we started in October — so by the time Dec. 20 rolled around we were excited to open and be on a normal schedule again and get our lives back a bit.
The D.O.: Do you think “Fiddler” will be long-lasting?S.C.: Yes, we got wonderful reviews in The New York Times, and I do think that any revival, but particularly this one, will last for quite a while. Not only because of wheth-er the show is good or not, which is still the point, but just because, it’s “Fiddler on the Roof.” I mean, especially to the Jewish peo-ple, it’s a staple in their repertoire and some-thing that they will come no matter what, which is wonderful for us. The fact that it’s also good is such a huge bonus because that
means that maybe we can run even longer than we had anticipated.
The D.O.: What is your favorite backstage story so far?S.C.: There’s a scene toward the end of the show where ... (the actress) Jenny has to push this cart out following her sister and her mother onto stage. She was pushing the cart out and she didn’t see but one of the wheels got stuck on one of the hard walls of the stage. So she had to — like Austin Pow-ers — had to keep pushing and reversing and pushing and reversing and pushing and reversing and she couldn’t get it onto stage and it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen just standing watching. Of course we wanted to help her, but we couldn’t just go onstage and help her!
The D.O.: If you could use one word to cap-ture “Fiddler on the Roof,” what would it be?S.C.: Tradition.

Syracuse winters tend to wreak serious havoc on our style, and definitely on our footwear. However, there’s no need to sac-rifice personal style to the cold-weather
gods. Add personality and comfort to a pair of on-trend and functional boots to make those early morning trudges to campus a whole lot chicer. Complete with a warm pair of socks and a great leather protectant, prepare to stomp the hill in all kinds of snow, ice and rain this season.
1. Chelseas + HeatheredThese aren’t your Beatles’ Chelsea boots. Dating back as far as the 1890s, the Chelsea boot gained traction during the mod scene in 1960s Britain. The modern Chelsea boot has been adapted into a number of heeled variations including the Cuban, stiletto, and featured chunky heel with a ‘90’s vibe. The shoe channels classic menswear looks as seen at Burberry and Saint Laurent and takes it to a feminine level. Paired with scrunched heathered knee-highs, the look comes off the runway and onto the street. Complement the look with a leather mini and opaque tights or dark, high-waisted skinny jeans for a contemporary urban ensemble.
2. Dr. Martens + StripesThis look can be spotted on the girl pounding the pavement to Smashing Pumpkin’s “Today” blasting through her earbuds under her beanie. Making their way from German workwear to the British punk scene, Doc Martens are a grunge staple and all-around utilitarian piece that can be found sloughing through the snow or prancing at Coachella in the spring. The deep, shiny burgundy works well with a classic winter grayscale palette while the stripes add a pinch of whimsy. Channel your inner Courtney Love by pairing this look with sheer tights and a baby-doll dress or a set of velve-teen leggings in a jewel tone and a beaten-up denim jacket for a look only a Cobain could adore.
3. Transparent boots + Animal printNever run out of creative combos with transparent rain boots, the ultimate custom footwear. Colorful animal prints add personality to the otherwise basic shoe. Perfectly equipped for the rain, make a splash in this Japanese street style-inspired look. Check out the girls of Harajuku for inspiration on how to maximize this look like a Decora girl. If you’re not ready to take your look to that level of color and detail, this shoe/sock alone adds punch to your basic sweater and jeans. Expect the compli-ments and stares to pour in. You’ll surely stand out in a sea of black and plaid Hunter boots.
4. Over-the-knee + Solid thigh-highsOver-the-knee boots provide major coverage as well as subtle sexiness to any everyday look. Inspired by Gisele Bündchen’s leggy looks for
Stuart Weitzman, you can tackle any cold winter’s day and keep those gams toasty in a super tall boot. The black elongates the leg, which is perfect for the pint-size fashionista, while thigh-high socks add extra warmth. Solid color socks keep the style modern and minimalist while maximizing the sex appeal that’s demure enough for everyday wear. Channel your inner Victoria’s Secret model and make the
sidewalk your runway.Don’t let the cold cramp your style. You have
way more options than your usual Uggs or Wellies. When it’s not easy to stand out in a crowd of what looks like extras from 8 Mile, unique socks make for the perfect accessory to boost your look and add interest while keeping you warm in Syracuse’s often below zero temps.
From hardcore Doc Martens to a subtly sexy over-the-knee, make a Syracuse winter more stylish

Get a breakdown of Syracuse’s big win over Duke with three key storylines.
beast modeTyler Roberson racked up eight points and nine rebounds on the first 20 min-utes to counter seven-footer Marshall Plumlee down low. Roberson grabbed seven more rebounds to give him 16 with 16 minutes left. He finished with 20 boards, 12 of the offensive variety, and accounted for slightly more than 40 percent of Syracuse’s total in SU’s 49-42 rebounding advantage.

no harm, no foulMichael Gbinije jumpstarted the SU offense to keep it within striking dis-tance after battling first-half foul trou-ble. Most of the senior’s buckets at the rim were in transition, and his lefty layup gave the Orange a 47-46 lead with 9:05 to play. With a little more than five minutes left, Gbinije created separation from Brandon Ingram and hit a 3 to put Syracuse up eight before pounding his chest on the way back downcourt. Duke cut it down but never took the lead and Gbinije finished with a near double-double.
2 quality over quantitySU has been known to live and die by the 3 but on Monday, it was the qual-ity of deep balls the Orange took that paced it past Duke late. The Blue Dev-ils took 14 more shots from behind the arc than SU, but the Orange made one more. Cooney led the charge from dis-tance, shooting 4-of-9, and the Orange hit just enough from long range to hand Duke its third loss in a week.

GOLDSTEIN AUDITORIUM, SCHINE STUDENT CENTER11:30 AM - 3 PM
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 2016
By Matt Schneidmansports editor
DURHAM, N.C. – A frustrated Michael Gbinije put both hands over his mouth and ran down the court past everyone. Jim Boeheim stood on the sideline with a look of disgust on his face. An arm slightly extended is all they thought it was.
But Brandon Ingram tumbled backward too far for the referee’s liking, giving Gbinije his third personal foul with 2:21 left in the first half.
Boeheim has said that his point guard wouldn’t come out even if he had a heart attack, but in this case, the SU head coach didn’t have an option.
The Orange’s starting point guard sat and
watched as Duke took a lead into halftime, but a renewed Gbinije emerged in the second half, attacking with abandon and no regard for his foul trouble. What resulted was 10 second-half points (14 total), a career-high nine assists and seamless execution of Syra-cuse’s go-to pick and roll as he provided the motor in SU’s (13-7, 3-4 Atlantic Coast) 64-62 win over No. 20 Duke (14-5, 4-3) at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Monday night.
“It was a tremendous testament to what he can do,” Boeheim said.
What Gbinije can do is something he’s been doing: playing almost 40 minutes, scor-ing in a variety of ways and being the mae-stro of an offense while feeding shooters. But against the Blue Devils, first-half foul trouble could’ve forced him to resort elsewhere.
Instead, he pounded the inside to comple-ment two made 3s, diversifying a Syracuse offense that did just enough.
“Mike was our leader,” freshman Malal-chi Richardson said.
On the Orange’s first possession of the second half, Gbinije coasted right to the rim for a layup.
There was no hesitation heading to dan-gerous territory in the paint, the same area where he picked up the fouls that sent him-self to the bench.
For him, there wasn’t a better alternative.“I just felt like that would’ve gave us the
best chance of winning,” Gbinije said. “I just wanted to try to use my size and try to get in the paint and open up things for others.”
Twice when Duke’s help came on Tyler Roberson ball screens, Gbinije couldn’t do
what was designed. Boeheim said the go-to play was supposed to get Gbinije in the lane, but he had to improvise. Both times, the senior threaded a bounce pass to Roberson, who converted on each to push Syracuse further ahead.
Gbinije said he put his ego aside for what was admittedly a heavily anticipated visit to his former home stadium. A third straight win to further right the ship that is Syra-cuse’s season was more important.
But the Gbinije Syracuse has seen all season wasn’t about to change.
“He was able to hang in there and play that kind of game and play that hard the entire game,” Boeheim said. “… I mean I can’t tell you how good he was tonight.”

Gbinije battles foul trouble and steers SU in 2nd half
seven minutes left and teams seemingly trading baskets on every possession. Rober-son tipped the ball out past the 3-point line and fell to his stomach. With both palms on the court, he watched at shoe level as the ball fell to the hands of Trevor Cooney, who sunk a 3 to put Syracuse up five.
It gave Syracuse a lead that shrunk but never disappeared, thanks in part to Rob-erson’s night that some had to be reminded about. Twice Duke scored in the paint to cut into the lead down the stretch. But twice,
Roberson responded with a contested layup of his own off a pick-and-roll.
Malachi Richardson quickly reeled off the number of rebounds Roberson had after the game, but asked about how many points he had.
“Fourteen,” one reporter said.“Fourteen and 20,” Richardson said,
“Those are great numbers.”On a night where he tied for the team
lead in points, it went almost unnoticed. Syracuse’s best rebounder was just that, and what was once hoped for has now become expected.

School safety had never taken a visit to Syra-cuse and then-tight ends and tackles coach Jake Moreland told him he’d have to visit before committing.
As of Jan. 6, he hadn’t heard from the new staff. But then he was invited to SU and was offered a scholarship on Sunday night. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Clarke joins cornerback Carl Jones and safety Scoop Bradshaw as the third member of the secondary in the 2016 recruiting class.
Lindsey ScottAbout an hour after Clarke committed to Syracuse on Sunday night, quarterback Lindsey Scott decommitted. He original-ly chose SU on Oct. 5 while Scott Shafer was still head coach. Despite the coaching change, Scott stayed on with the Orange, at least until Sunday. On Friday, co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Sean Lewis visited Scott.
The 5-foot-11, 205-pound Zachary (Loui-siana) High School signal-caller was named
Louisiana’s Gatorade Player of the Year. He is ranked with three stars and as the 28th best dual-threat quarterback in the 2016 class according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. Rex Culpepper, who is enrolled for the spring semester, is the only other quarterback currently in the 2016 class.
Scott also has offers from Tulane and Rutgers among others. On Monday, he tweeted that he’s also received an offer from Maryland, where Shafer is now the defensive coordinator. Four-star quarterback Dwayne Haskins flipped his commitment on Monday from Maryland to Ohio State, potentially opening up a spot for Scott.
Evan FosterSafety Evan Foster received an in-home visit from Syracuse secondary coach Nick Monroe on Monday. Foster decommitted from Bowl-ing Green following Babers’ move from the Falcons to the Orange. He is also still being recruited by BGSU and received an in-home visit from their coaches on Monday, too.
Jo-El ShawThree-star running back Jo-El Shaw tweet-
ed that Syracuse is one of his top three options along with Pittsburgh and Western Michigan. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound Shaw is ranked with three stars and as the 76th best running back in the 2016 class by 247Sports’ composite rankings. He received an in-home visit from Lewis and running backs coach Mike Hart.
Jawon HamiltonRunning back target Jawon Hamilton verbally committed to Central Florida on Sunday. He previously reportedly had an official visit to Syracuse set up for this upcoming weekend.

DURHAM, N.C. — Syracuse (13-7, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) shocked Duke (14-5, 3-3), 64-62, on Monday night at Cameron Indoor Arena. Duke has now lost three straight games for the first time in nine seasons, and the Orange held the Blue Devils to under 80 points, the first time Duke has scored less than that number at home this season.
Tyler Roberson pulled down 20 rebounds, including 12 on the offensive glass. Michael Gbinije returned to his old team and hit sev-eral big shots, finishing with 14 points and a career-high nine assists. Malachi Richardson hit three 3-pointers to give Syracuse a lead and it all resulted in SU’s biggest win of the season.
The Blue Devils shot just 10-of-37 from 3, and the Orange made 11-of-23. Syracuse had never beaten Duke at Cameron as members of the ACC, but that all changed on Monday.
Here are three things we learned from Syracuse’s win.
This team might be as good as
people thought it could beAfter the Orange won the Battle 4 Atlantis, it took over as the No. 14 team in the country. Players boasted that no one respected them coming into the season, and the first six games of 2015 showed why everyone should have.
That rhetoric died down as Syracuse lost to Georgetown, St. John’s and the first four games of conference play. But that same timely defense and prolific 3-point shooting on Mon-day showed why Syracuse could win a game against any team when it’s playing at its best.
“We come into the year, we’re not ranked,” Trevor Cooney said, recapping the season to date. “No one’s talking about us. And then all of a sudden we play well in the Bahamas and we get ranked and everyone’s talking about us. And then we slip up a little bit and then we fall back into no one’s talking about us again.
“It shows a lot about us to be able to dig ourselves out.”
It’s been up and down for Syracuse. There have been some bad lows, but the Orange has shown that it’s highest highs are tough to beat.
Syracuse can win running just one playAfter the game, Jim Boeheim admitted that he ran pretty much just one play the entire second half.
“We used the middle ball screen to try and get Mike (Gbinije) into the lane and then when they helped,” Boeheim said, “he got Roberson and he dropped the layups and a couple of times we got the 3.”
Syracuse ran a pretty simple offense and it led to clutch shooting. It made seven 3s in the second half and Roberson got a couple of good looks. When the Blue Devils had cut the lead to 61-58, the Orange executed on that pick and roll perfectly, and Gbinije found Roberson cutting to the basket as he rolled in the and-one.
After scoring just 26 points in the first half, the Orange basically shot its way to a win with 38 points after the break.
Trevor Cooney’s self-reflection has boosted his recent surgeAfter Syracuse lost to Miami on Jan. 2, Cooney sat alone at his locker, uninterested in talking
to anyone that wanted a word with him.He said after Monday’s game that he was
thinking about what he could do to right the ship, how he could be a better leader.
Since then, he’s scored 27 points against then-No. 6 North Carolina and 21 first-half points against Wake Forest on Saturday. During Monday’s win over the Blue Devils, he hit four 3-pointers.
When Grayson Allen had scored nine straight for Duke, Cooney pulled up on a 3-pointer at least 3 feet behind the arc and cut the 6-point deficit in half just before halftime.
Off a Roberson rebound in which he cor-ralled the ball while being surrounded by four Duke players, a kick out to Cooney ended in the senior draining an open 3. He’s stepped up his output the past couple of games, and he can pinpoint when it happened.
“I was just trying to figure out, how can I get these guys going and how can I be a bet-ter leader every single day,” Cooney said. “And that’s what I was thinking about in that moment.”

What we learned in Syracuse’s upset win against Duke
didn’t erase the futility of its past six weeks, it just ended it.
“We lost all those games in the ACC, we knew it was still early in conference play,” Roberson said. “We stayed calm, and now good things are happening.”
Syracuse saw its lead evaporating. Der-ryck Thornton hit a 3, and then Brandon Ingram tipped in a fourth-chance oppor-tunity. Marshall Plumlee made it a one-point game with 34 seconds left and Gbinije missed the front end of a one-and-one. The Blue Devils had the ball with an opportunity to win the game.
Everything had a chance to go back to the way it had been. The same disappointment that welled up in Trevor Cooney after SU lost to Miami, when he questioned how it was possible for his team to hit that type of drought to start the ACC season. The same oh-so-close, but not close enough moment when North Carolina was just too much for
Syracuse to handle. It was all right there, ready to happen again.
But this time, Grayson Allen’s wild layup never hit the rim. Syracuse got the ball back,
and the 2.1 tedious seconds before the win served only build up drama for a moment that deserves every bit of it. The buzzer went off, and everyone besides the Orange bench couldn’t believe it. But it was their moment to relish.
“No one said anything,” Cooney said. “We
were just happy that it was over. It felt good when that time went off and the game was over.”

DURHAM, N.C. – It took 44 years to happen.
Since Duke Indoor Stadi-um was renamed in 1972, no visitor has ever done in Cameron Indoor what Tyler Roberson did.
The junior asserted his way to a visitor-record 20 rebounds on Monday night against Duke, dom-inating the glass for a Syracuse team that needed it. He had 16 boards with 16 minutes left in the game and went punch-for-punch with Duke’s Marshall Plumlee in the trenches to keep SU within reach before squeaking ahead. Twelve of Roberson’s boards came on the offensive glass, which tied Billy Owens’ school record set back in 1990, and the junior snuck in 14 points during Syracuse’s (13-7, 3-4 Atlantic Coast) 64-62 win over the Blue Devils (14-5, 4-3).
“Roberson was unbelievable on the backboards,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “I mean he went to get it, he went after it.”
Roberson’s most emphatic play came with one hand instead of
the two he secured every rebound with. Soaring through the air, he flushed a left-handed alley-oop in the first half. It set the tone for a dominating performance from the big man, who logged his third double-double in as many games.
He accounted for more than one-third of Syracuse’s first-half rebounds, salvaging a frontcourt that was otherwise bullied by Plumlee. Each time a Duke miss clanked off the back rim and
arced into the air, Roberson’s out-stretched arms were in the vicinity. Few of his rebounds came cleanly, but his fingertips provided second and third-chance opportunities.
When Mike Hopkins was serv-
ing as interim head coach, he hoped for a “plugged-in” Roberson. Syracuse didn’t know what it was getting on a game-to-game basis from the junior. Those questions have now been put to rest.
“I don’t think it has anything to do with being plugged in,” Rober-son said. “Lately I’ve been playing more consistently.”
In the first four minutes of the second half, Roberson hauled in seven more rebounds. One wait-ing on the weak side before skying
past Plumlee. One maneuvering his way from the corner to the paint, snatching a Trevor Cooney miss. Another with his feet on the ground and nobody in the area.
Since the 2012-2013 season, only twice has a Syracuse player recorded double-digit offensive rebounds. Once last year against Louisiana Tech. Once Monday night. Both by Roberson.

With just over two weeks until National Signing Day, Syracuse’s 2016 recruiting class continued taking shape this weekend. The Orange’s current class sits at 13, seven of which verbally committed since head coach Dino Babers’ hiring on Dec. 5. Nine players have left the class since then.
The weekend was high-lighted by Sean Riley and Devon Clarke’s commitments and Lindsey Scott’s decommitment.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s transpired recently in the world of Syracuse football recruiting.
Sean RileyRiley, a 5-foot-9, 165-pound ath-lete from Narbonne (California) High School, flipped his pledge to the Orange on Sunday after-noon after previously being committed to Arizona. He took an official visit to SU this week-end along with two other Nar-bonne teammates Cedric Byrd and Devaughn Cooper, who are both wide receivers.
Riley is ranked with three stars and as the 22nd best “all-purpose back” in the 2016 class according to 247Sports.com’s composite rankings. He was a threat for Narbonne both as a runner and a pass-catcher, com-piling 1,518 rushing yards and 424 receiving yards as a senior, according to MaxPreps.com. Riley also held offers from Utah, Wyoming and San Diego State.
Devon ClarkeClarke committed to the Orange while on his official visit. He orig-inally tried pledging to SU in July, but his commitment was turned down by the previous coaching staff. The Osceola (Florida) High
