THE DALAI ORANGE hi 57° | lo 46°

By Marwa Eltagouri NEWS EDITOR

T he atmosphere was almost chilling.

Just seconds before, crowds jumped from their seats in a wild, roaring applause as the 14th Dalai Lama took his first few steps on stage and settled into his seat. But upon speaking his first few words, Goldstein Auditorium fell silent.

“There is nothing to divide,” he said simply, proposing his solution to obtaining world peace. “We are all the same human being.”

Perhaps it was his wisdom that drew audiences into his every word — his ability to take the heavy topic of world peace and tackle it so effort-lessly. Or it could have been his warm

character — his charming grin and the hearty chuckle he would give every so often after telling a joke.

But it was likely anticipation that hooked people Monday morn-ing — an eager excitement for the kick-off of one of the most historic events in Syracuse University’s history: the two-day “Common Ground for Peace” forum.

Monday morning’s event explored a solu-tion to the violence of the Arab Spring in a discussion titled “The Rise of Democracy in the Middle East.” It featured a panel consisting of the Dalai Lama, Nobel Peace lau-

T he crowd filling Goldstein Auditorium at Syracuse University eagerly waited

for the Dalai Lama to speak at the second panel of the day, anticipating the wisdom for which the political and spiritual figure is famed.

But he bestowed upon the audience a side of himself that may not have been foreseen, in

the form of a sound which rang out periodically throughout Monday afternoon’s discussion.

It was his laughter.

“He is a jolly good man. I never expected him to be that way. I thought he’d be the serious kind,” said Sahil Rambhia, an informa-tion management student working toward his master’s degree. “His jokes, his thought process, the entire thing — and I finally find a reason for him being called the Holiness.”

His laughter was echoed by those sitting around him on the stage of the auditorium for the day’s second panel, titled “Raising the Global Consciousness.” The panel of international ambassadors of peace included Martin Luther King III, the eldest son of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.; activist Roxana Saberi; Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi; composer A.R. Rah-

Protesters gathered outside the Schine Student Center on Monday to speak out against the Dalai Lama’s visit to Syracuse University.

The handful of students assem-bled to protest against the Dalai Lama’s role regarding the current violence in Tibet, as well as his sup-port for the country’s independence from China, said Yuming Huang, a senior public relations, economics and policy studies major.

Huang stood draped in the Chinese flag surrounded by vari-ous signs that read “Stop media distortion,” “Da-Liar: Your smiles charm but your actions harm” and

“Violence ≠ Peace,” in both English and Chinese.

“These students need to hear about different messages,” Huang said. “The Chinese government has limited power to say it.”

Guoliang Fu, another protester, stood next to Huang holding a pad of paper, which passers-by signed to show their support for the protest. As of 3:30 p.m., the paper had more than 200 signatures, he said.

The protesters have yet to decide what they will do with the signa-tures, said Fu, a junior information and technology major.

One of the main reasons for the protest was the Dalai Lama’s contin-ued support of Tibet’s independence,

Huang said.The Dalai Lama, the temporal

head of Tibetan Buddhists, was made head of state at age 15 in 1950, the same year that Chinese troops occupied Tibet.

The Dalai Lama attempted to negotiate for a self-ruled Tibet, but ultimately failed. After an unsuc-cessful uprising against the Chinese, the Dalai Lama fled Tibet in 1959 for exile in India.

In general, Tibet has been bet-ter off under China’s rule, Huang said. Both the country’s life expec-tancy and economy has improved since 1950.

The protesters arrived on cam-pus at 9 a.m. and received permis-

sion from the Department of Public Safety to protest at 10 a.m. They planned to protest until the second symposium panel ended at 4:30 p.m., Huang said.

John Sardino, DPS associate chief, said the protesters sent an email to DPS asking about the pro-test policy and for advice on how to proceed. DPS then met with the pro-testers to discuss location and time, and make sure everyone was “on the same page,” Sardino said.

Sardino said protests are fre-quently handled this way and that when groups reach out to DPS, it allows the department to plan and make sure the protesters are in an

In response to recent crime near cam-pus, Student Association members have created a new advisory board to improve communication between students and Department of Public Safety officials.

“We are trying to form a way students can directly communicate with DPS about their concern about safety and everything that’s going on right now,” said assemblymem-ber Belen Crisp, who is spearhead-ing the initiative.

The new board was announced at an SA meeting on Monday night in Maxwell Auditorium. The board plans to arrange for a DPS officer to be present at every SA meeting pos-sible so students have a way to speak directly with officials and report problems more quickly and efficiently to DPS, Crisp said.

The new initiative comes after two robberies and one attempted robbery were reported to DPS offi-cers this weekend.

“I think in general DPS and the Syracuse Police Department have stepped it up a lot and it’s really unfortunate to see crime continue,”

With hydrofracking a looming possibility in New York, a group of Syracuse University professors has created a project to assess the effects of hydrofracking on the quality of drinking water.

“In New York state, there’s been a great deal of resistance to high-volume hydrofracking,” said Don-ald Siegel, an earth sciences pro-fessor and hydrologist specialist. “Hydrofracking seeks to tap into what are known as unconventional gas reserves.”

Associate professors of earth sci-ence Gregory Hoke and Laura Lautz created Project SWIFT — Shale-Water Interaction Forensic Tools — in spring 2012 in response to the high possibility of hydrofracking in New York.

Siegel and Zunli Lu, an assistant earth science professor, will both play

a key role in the analysis portion of the project.

One of Project SWIFT’s main goals is to learn more about the chemis-try of the area’s supply of drinking water before tapping into these gas reserves, Siegel said.

“We are in a unique position

because New York state has not yet engaged in hydrofracking, allowing us to obtain pre-fracking data,” he said.

Siegel said he will be actively involved in figuring out which combi-nations of chemicals in the water are present as a result of fluids related to

the “Common Ground for Peace” symposium, a two-day event during which the Dalai Lama and more than 20 musical artists will engage the Syracuse community on shifting global

consciousness toward peace. Although the Dalai Lama is speaking about

peace, Fu said the Dalai Lama’s actions are not peaceful. He pointed to the March 14, 2008 riots in Tibet, organized by the Dalai Lama, as an example.

Said Fu: “We want to make all people real-ize that chaos is not the way to peace.”

hydraulic fracturing.According to a Project SWIFT presenta-

tion report, three categories will be analyzed: nutrients and fluorescence, dissolved miner-als and trace elements.

“We are coming up with unique diagnos-tic tools that would be able to fingerprint these different types of contaminants,” Siegel said. “We are looking at ways for hydraulic fracturing to be unequivocally identified from other potential sources of contamination.”

Many of the gas reserves are located about a mile deep in a layer of low-permeability source rock called shale. During the hydrofracking process, water and chemicals are pumped at high pressure to retrieve the trapped gas, Siegel said.

While there are several potential prob-lems associated with hydrofracking, the biggest one stems from potential groundwa-ter contamination.

“You can get fluids coming back out of the well,” Siegel said. “These fluids are very salty and contain chemicals that can pollute drink-

ing water.”The project involves collecting samples

from drinking wells in the southern-tier sec-tion of New York, which includes Allegany, Broome, Chemung, Steuben and Tioga coun-ties, Siegel said.

Currently, project participants are analyz-ing the data they have collected and plan to make the information available on the project’s website when completed, said Natalie Teale, a senior assisting on the project.

The southern tier of New York has heavy shale gas deposits, making it an area likely to undergo hydrofracking in the future, Teale said.

In order to collect data, residents of the southern tier were contacted and informed of the project. Students assisting in the project — like Max Gade, a graduate student in the earth science department — drove to the region this summer to retrieve samples.

After another student selected wells to col-lect samples from and reached out to well own-ers, Gade traveled to the wells and collected the samples, he said in an email.

Said Gade: “We would drive a lot between samplings, so we had some really long days, but it was very rewarding.”

SA President Dylan Lustig said. The meeting also focused on how campaigns

will influence students during the SA presiden-tial elections this fall. This year, SA will add a polling station in E.S. Bird Library to allow students to vote in person.

Due to this new polling station, a bill was proposed at Monday’s meeting that would prohibit presidential candidates and their supporters from campaigning within 100 feet of a polling station on Election Day, among other guidelines.

Board of Elections and Membership Chair Jennifer Bacolores said presidential campaign-ing is also prohibited in the SA office.

Bacolores said campaign regulations are much stricter this year due to issues with questionable campaigning last year. Last year, she said, there was a lot of “gray area,” and presidential candidates were unsure of the limits of certain regulations, but “crossed the line anyway.”

Both Bacolores and Lustig have said several times that they aim to ensure this fall’s elections are fair. If candidates or assemblymembers

violate any of the new regulations, they could be suspended, Bacolores said.

Monday night’s meeting started off with an announcement from Lustig criticizing a recent editorial column by The Daily Orange that critiqued SA’s latest transparency initiative. SA Director of Technology Ross Lazerowitz is putting together a new software that will allow assemblymembers to discuss their latest initiatives and upload official documents to a website that students would be able to view, but not comment on.

“This website is innovative and it’s some-thing that’s been talked about on a national level,” Lustig said.

The editorial said the website would “close an avenue to hear students’ opinions” because there would be no option to comment on content posted on the website.

In other business, two SU students faced off in a heavily contested election for the last general assembly seat in the College of Arts and Sciences. Freshman political sci-ence and Middle Eastern studies major Lara Alkarim won the election. She said one of her initiatives is providing more welcoming services for incoming students at the start of the semester.

T he prevalence of social media exploded in the past five years. Hashtags have been

introduced for almost every television show, commercial and magazine article. It’s no surprise this rapid growth correlates with the surging smartphone market.

About 98 percent of 18-24-year-olds are active on social media, according to MacWorld. Because there is an incredibly high penetration the new question is: Who is worth listening to or following?

In the real world, it’s fairly simple to gauge the trustworthiness of a source or individual. A glance at a resume or at a uniform can usually affirm or deny that individual’s credibility.

If someone held a degree in graphic design, you would be more inclined to listen to him or her concerning website construction matters. Similarly, if you ask a

cashier at McDonalds to recommend a refrigerator, you will likely dismiss that person’s opinion because it is not his or her field of expertise.

When perusing your social media feeds it is much more challenging to decipher the credibility or influence of the friends, celebrities or compa-nies you follow. Often when a tweet includes a link or makes an outra-geous claim, it’s difficult to discern if the information is factually correct or supported.

A new breed of startups emerged to statistically calculate the amount of people an individual can influence, how much to trust that individual and on what topics. The leaders in computing these complex calculations include Klout, PeerIn-dex and Kred. Once the user con-nects his or her Facebook, Google+ and Twitter to the company, it uses algorithms to calculate influence.

Klout, the most ubiquitous

social media influence ranking platform, has more than 100 million accounts globally. Klout searches your accounts for the amount of retweets, likes, 1+s, tagged posts, comments and other metrics that appear on your profiles. Then, a numerical value is associated with your activity and influence level, and therefore others can understand your social media influence.

Microsoft recently initiated a partnership with Klout. This partner-ship will integrate Klout’s statistical

analysis capabilities into Bing’s search engine results. Over the past few years, Bing established itself as a social search engine and hopes Klout will help the second-place search engine bring a new style of results to users. Now on Bing traditional results are given in addition to a list of indi-viduals who are influential on social media about that topic.

Critics have ridiculed Klout for its lack of transparency concerning the formula it uses to compute these scores. Salesforce.com requires the disclosure of an applicant’s Klout score when applying for certain social media-related jobs. Even though states like California and Maryland recently passed laws banning employers from asking for social media account passwords, the disclosure of a Klout score is still permitted.

As more weight is being placed on social ranking mechanisms,

it is imperative that students and young professionals keep actively participating in the social con-versation. If you are an appliance salesmen, “talking” about or link-ing stories related to news in that industry could be advantageous. As companies take Klout scores seriously, it is important to ensure you are influential in your desired field of work.

The concept of ranking an indi-vidual’s influence on social media is a metric that may provide insight into the credibility or social reach of a given source. It’s foolish to value an opaque measurement, like a Klout score, as an effective indica-tor to judge a person’s capability to perform a job.

A third panel added to the “Com-mon Ground for Peace” event will showcase previously overshad-owed voices.

This panel, “The Past is Not the Past: The Continuing Quest for Racial Justice and Peace,” was not announced or promoted well, which may hinder attendance. Tickets are not necessary for this panel and there is no information on the One World website as to whether the panel will be live streamed or not like the first two. It implies this panel was an afterthought or pulled together quickly.

The Dalai Lama will also not sit in on this panel, which may mean many students will not go, since the Dalai Lama is the highlight of the two-day event. Instead, the panel will include human rights activist Martin Luther King III, U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young and three Syracuse University professors.

Since the two Monday panels featured and focused heavily on the Dalai Lama, this panel gives King and Young more time to share their thoughts and ideas in a more intimate setting with a smaller group of students. All of the “Com-mon Ground for Peace” panelists are very high-profile, well-rounded individuals, so allowing more time for them to share their thoughts and expertise will enhance the experience for students.

The panel is being held in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium in Newhouse III, a venue five times smaller than Goldstein Audito-rium, where Monday’s panels were held. The smaller venue will provide a much more intimate set-ting for those who ultimately chose to go.

reate Mohamed ElBaradei, Nobel Peace laure-ate Shirlin Ebadi, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency R. James Woolsey, former U.N. ambassador Andrew Young and Irshad Manji, director of the Moral Courage Project at New York University.

NBC correspondent Ann Curry moderated the panel, directing questions toward each guest that focused around a central question: Is the democratization of the Middle East possible?

For Ebadi, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, even democratization’s early steps have yet to be seen in the Middle East.

She said she believes the term “Arab Spring” is used too loosely in describing the revolutions that have overtaken the Middle East in the past two years. Dictators have been forced from power in countries such as Egypt, Libya, Tuni-sia and Yemen, and while their authoritarian rulers have departed, it remains too early to tell if democracy is on its way.

She referenced the fleeing of Iranian Shah Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, who was forced from Iran in 1979 only to be replaced by a worse dictator.

“It’s too early to call it the Arab Spring,” she said.

She mentioned that she would view democ-racy in the Middle East as the eventual freedom of women, and the expansion of their rights.

“When the time comes, and the Arab Muslim women gain equal rights, then we can talk about an Arab Spring,” she said. “Unfortunately, peo-ple are struggling for that day to arrive.”

For ElBaradei, democratizing the Middle East is not so much a question of if, but rather a question of when.

He said he believes the violent uprisings in the Middle East are spurred by decades of anger, not just within countries, but from outside countries frustrated by the fact that they were let down by former dictators. He asked the audience whether it would be possible for nations to ever get involved in a human rights conflict while putting political interests aside.

Unless that question is answered, the world is “moving into self-destruct,” he said.

For former director of the Central Intel-ligence Agency R. James Woolsey, the answer to democratization can be found within the most basic facts of world history.

He compared the process of democracy to a three-act drama.

The first act is the revolution — the storm-ing of the Bastille in the French Revolution, the storming of the Winter Palace in the Russian Revolution and the removal of the Shah in the Iranian Revolution. The first act is optimistic, hopeful and composed of young people in the streets overthrowing the symbol of oppression, he said.

Act two follows closely, and has a similar spir-it, he said. It attempts to create rule by the people with fairness and justice. That act looked like it could be occurring in the French Revolution for a year or two, but failed. Mensheviks gained power in Russia temporarily, and in Iran, liberals ruled for only a few months.

Act three is often “particularly horrible when there has been bad oppression for a long time,” as the only groups that can oper-ate cohesively are those that are extremely dictatorial, he said. The reign of terror overthrew reform in France, the Bolsheviks

overtook the Mensheviks in Russia, and in Iran citizens found themselves ruled by “theocratic fanatics.”

In the Middle East, some countries may stop at act two, as in the case of America. But Woolsey is cautious of the existence of act three.

After listening to the panelist’s opinions, the Dalai Lama concluded the panel with his take on democratization of the Middle East. For him, peace is not just about eliminating war in the region.

“Absence of violence is not peace,” he said. “I always believe in telling people genuine peace must come through inner peace.”

Through improving one’s health, obtaining friendships and becoming happier, one develops an inner peace that becomes the substance of world peace, he said.

Dean Engberg, a senior psychology major, said he was disappointed that the panel didn’t

highlight anything specifically SU oriented.“There wasn’t so much a focus on what the

school might be involved in relating to what they were actually saying, or the problem that needed to be addressed,” he said.

But Justin Maggs traveled from Potsdam to see the panel and said he thought the diverse group made for interesting conversation.

“The greatest thing for me was the action as a force for peace, and how through our actions we can promote cohesion among young people to be a global force for peace,” he said.

Alex Olbrych, a student at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, N.Y., traveled to Syra-cuse specifically for the event. He mentioned how the Dalai Lama himself made for an energetic discussion.

Said Olbrych: “The Dalai Lama is such a happy man, it’s infectious. You can see it in the crowd.”

man; and activist Mohamed ElBaradei.The focus of the panel was education and

technology. While each panelist chimed in more than

once, certain questions were catered to each indi-vidual’s area of expertise. King talked about the optimism he learned from his father, Rahman discussed looking at peace through the lens of a musician and ElBaradei spoke of the importance of neglecting superficial cultural differences.

This concept was reiterated by the Dalai Lama later in the discussion.

“Yes I am Buddhist, but I am a human being,” the Dalai Lama said. “That is more important.”

Saberi reflected on her time in prison and the lessons she has learned as both a journalist and activist. She spoke of how the experience helped her find the positive in any situation.

“There was a lot of darkness,” Saberi said. “But there were also a lot of stars.”

Saberi also delved into the realm of educa-tion, as she talked about the role journalists

and educators play in informing the rest of the world.

One panelist who paid particular attention to the subject of education was Ebadi, one of the first women awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. Despite a language barrier, Ebadi spoke pas-sionately about the importance of educating youth on inner peace. One particular point she made, regarding the necessity for society to get rid of violence-encouraging video games, was met with raucous applause from the audience.

“In order to have inner peace, we have to learn it,” Ebadi said.

Rambhia, the information management stu-dent, was especially inspired by Ebadi’s efforts to put violent videogames on trial.

“The whole idea of not having software that have war games embedded into it is really great,” he said.

While education took up a large portion of the conversation, technology occupied much of the discussion as well. At times, it was the punch line of a joke, as demonstrated during a moment in which the Dalai Lama teased King for technical difficulties he was experiencing with his microphone.

At other times, it was discussed in a more serious tone.

The Dalai Lama addressed new forms of technology, in addition to encouraging audience questions through technology, specifically through the use of the hashtag, #CGPGlobal. While he joked about his own ineptness in the technology, saying that his tech knowledge did not extend far past the 1950s and ’60s, he said a lot of hope exists in this field for the future.

“We can use these technologies for positive purpose,” the Dalai Lama said. “For peace.”

After the performance, Tom Walsh, the executive vice president for advancement and external affairs at SU, struggled to articulate the effect the visit from the Dalia Lama had on him.

“I find it almost hard to express it,” Walsh said. “I feel very, very privileged and very blessed.”

Walsh acknowledged the presence of edu-cation as a point of interest in both the after-noon panel as well as the one he attended earlier in the day, “The Rise of Democracy in the Middle East.”

Though the speakers called into question the

current infrastructure of peaceful education, Walsh felt there was hope in the underlying theme from the day.

“It’s something I think if we really commit ourselves to find the resources to do it, at least in the United States, we know how to educate people,” Walsh said. “It’s a hopeful message.”

This was not the first time Walsh had seen the Dalai Lama speak. He was in attendance when the Dalai Lama spoke in 1979, as well. Justin Nappi, another audience member, had also met the Dalai Lama before the event.

Nappi’s father, Samuel Nappi, an SU trustee, was a prominent figure in orchestrating the “Common Ground for Peace” event and bring-ing it to SU. Justin Nappi visited Tibet with his father six months ago to discuss the possibility of such an event and said he was excited to see the idea come to fruition.

“I thought it was great that everyone, with their busy schedules doing what they do every-day, could come together and teach students of the university and give the awareness that’s needed,” Nappi said. “I think it’s a great thing.”

W hen Apple released its newest software, iOS 6, users were eager to upgrade and see the

newest improvements.But many were disappointed to find the Maps

app had gotten worse.Apple admitted to releasing a flawed appli-

cation. Apple CEO Tim Cook recently apolo-gized to customers in a Sept. 28 press release, saying the application did not meet Apple’s standards.

“With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment,” Cook said in the release.

The new Maps application is defective, said Jeffrey Rubin, associate professor in the School of Information Studies.

“Here’s what I think the issue is: People aren’t used to putting the word Apple and flawed in the same sentence,” Rubin said.

Apple formerly utilized Google Maps, but chose to end its partnership with Google and make its own app, he said.

Apple did not only release a faulty replace-ment; it got rid of an application that worked. The new app has incorrect data and the maps look as if earthquakes have run through them, particularly when in street view, Rubin said.

“Especially when you get into the street view, the streets look like something out of a sci-fi movie,” he said.

Despite the errors in the app, Rubin said it was still usable. It gave him the correct direc-tions when he tested it on a local drive.

But he said fixing the problems would likely require a lot of work.

“You have to throw a lot of software engi-neers on this project,” he said. “Unfortu-

nately, I don’t think this is a minor bug you can fix overnight.”

Many students at Syracuse University noticed these changes.

Kanan Shah, a graduate student in the iSchool, said she already updated to iOS 6 and prefers the old version of Maps.

“I don’t see much of an upgrade, especially with respect to the map,” Shah said. “This map can be brutal once you start using it.”

She said she has trouble understanding the three-dimensional view and that the map occa-sionally places her at the wrong “Current Loca-tion” when she starts moving.

In Apple CEO Tim Cook’s press release, he said Apple hoped to allow for turn-by-turn direc-tions, voice integration, Flyover and vector-based maps in its newer version.

While Apple is currently working to fix Maps, Cook suggested users download apps from competitors, such as Bing, MapQuest and Waze, according to the press release.

Despite Apple’s release of an apology, public relations professor of practice Bob Kucharavy said he felt Apple should not have waited for public discontent to issue it.

“There was outlash as far as Apple custom-ers complaining about it, and he reacted to that,” Kucharavy said. “They should have been on top of the situation and known what is going on and issued that letter sooner than they ever did.”

The negative reaction to Maps could hurt Apple’s reputation with its customers. Apple has a strong reputation with its following, but many Apple users will now treat their products with caution, he said.

Said Kucharavy: “Ultimately this is going to taint other introductions.”

the sweet stuff in the middle


By Gabriela RiccardiSTAFF WRITER

T he men stride up and down Marshall Street, arms out-stretched and tickets fanned

in their hands. It’s a rapid route they pace as cars stream into cam-pus, the congregation of fans that’s rhythmically magnetic on a Syra-cuse game night.

The men know their paths, moving along the streets and looking from side to side, alert for any approaching fans that have joined the crowds at the last minute.

“Tickets,” they call out to people decked out in orange. “I’ve got tickets!”

Perhaps this is the traditional image of ticket scalping at the uni-

versity, the people who wave tick-ets to Syracuse fans. They focus on adults, hardly speaking to the crowds of students as they pass up and down the street.

That may be because students themselves are choosing a different route to buy and sell their tickets.

Log on to Facebook and search through its groups: Syracuse Univer-sity Class of 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Each is steeped with thousands of members, and nearly all of them are SU students.

Some ask questions about class, such as who’s in AST 101: “Our Corner of the Universe” and understands this part of the lab assigned? Others promote their campus organizations and events with suggestions, like if you’re interested in intramural soccer, how about attending Thursday’s general interest meeting?

But the vast majority of these Facebook interactions revolve around tickets. Buying, selling, looking, competing: Tickets are everywhere. From SU football and basketball games to the One World

Concert featuring performances by multiple well-known musicians and a talk by the Dalai Lama, stu-dents use Facebook as a means of buying and selling seats for events.

One reason for students taking this route is the quick interactions

available on social media.Lindsay Dolak, a junior magazine

major, heard about a sold-out Dada Life concert at the Westcott Theater last Tuesday and spontaneously decided to go. Dolak immediately headed to Facebook to look for a pair

of tickets.“You can cast your net to a

much bigger group of people,” Dolak said, referring to Facebook group usage. “It’s really conve-nient to be able to ask so many people (about tickets) at once.”

Colleen Koroma, a sophomore accounting major, recently sold tick-ets for the One World Concert, though at a loss. She agrees that social net-working sites are convenient for ticket resale, also because of their immediate accessibility.

“It’s on the go,” Koroma said. With websites such as Facebook,

students can be notified by new group posts, see tickets available and immediately contact a seller. And with the proximity of all stu-dents on campus, Koroma said, it’s easy to meet up to trade off tickets and payment.

However, problems of ticket resale also reach the niche of social media. Often mark-ups and scalping occur.

ALEJANDRO SANZLa Musica No Se Toca

Universal Music Group

Release Date:Sept. 25

Spanish songwriter woos fans with smooth rhythms, eclectic influences

By Ibet InyangSTAFF WRITER

B y now, many students have eaten plenty of arroz con frijoles and danced la bachata — some awkwardly, some

gracefully — in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month.

The festivities are not quite over, and Latin superstar Alejandro Sanz’s latest album, “La Musica No Se Toca,” is perfect for both tradi-tional and modern tastes.

The Spaniard has been wooing the hearts of many since he grew up on the streets of Madrid, practicing the traditional Flamenco style he learned at an early age. Sanz went on to release his debut album at the tender age of 16, under the name Alejandro Magno, or Alexander the Great. “Los Chulos Pa’ Cuidarlos,” which fused flamenco and tech-no music, was unsurprisingly unsuccessful, and it even caused Sanz to leave music to study business administration.

He made a much more successful comeback, however, when he signed to Warner Music Latina and released eight commercially and internationally successful albums, winning 15 Latin Grammys and three Grammys, leading to him becoming the first Spanish artist to record an MTV Unplugged album in 2001.

Through it all, Sanz has become known for his signature raspy voice and flamenco-infused love ballads. His international fame has largely come from his ability to infuse traditional Spanish sounds with funk, rhythm and blues, rock, jazz and even coun-try. In “La Musica No Se Toca,” Sanz reminds us once again why he’s his fans’ favorite Latin lover through beautiful, genre-blending songs that touch all the senses.

In “Nena,” Sanz gives us a dose of traditional Spanish balladry. He sings to his nena, a word for baby, and boy is she a lucky dog. Sanz’s gentle voice explains that this girl is nothing but trouble and the kind of crazy that men always fall over. However, even though she seems to be the love-him-then-leave-him type, she always comes crawling back, and Alejandro waits

with open arms and smooth vocals. Subtle and romantic piano and accordion lead up to the chorus when Sanz lets out a heartfelt “Nena.” He finishes by saying, “Maldito sea tu arte, pidiendome perdon, y yo estare de nuevo aqui para perdonarte,” which means, “Damn your art, asking forgiveness, and I will be back here to forgive.”

Sanz mixes it up in “Llamando A La Mujer Accion.” The song starts off with ethereal instrumentation, but once it gets going, it sounds a lot like country. Nashville is nowhere near Sanz’s native city of Madrid, but he somehow managed to capture elements of the genre through laid-back electric guitar solos in the chorus. Additionally, the way he accents “tarde, tarde, tarde de Enero” in the chorus, has a twang and vibe that screams Latin cowboy.

What was more out of left field was his “Down,” featuring Daddy Yankee, which actually sounds like it was recorded about 20 years ago by a Mark Anthony-Blackstreet cover band. The relaxed R&B track is com-plete with random deep-voiced, background “yeahs,” has ’90s written all over it and is perfectly bouncy. It’s topped off with a verse from Hispanic rapper Daddy Yankee for a hip-hop touch, and the end result works surprisingly well. The tune, unfortunately, doesn’t provide a lot of range and does Sanz’s voice no justice. But the sheer fact that he pulled this off in 2012 is commend-able.

Sanz is already an international superstar, with collaborations with Michael Jackson, Tony Bennett, Destiny’s Child and Shakira to his credit. But now he’s secured his role as an ambassador of Latin music. “La Musica No Se Toca” proves that you don’t have to know Spanish to realize that the genre can be unbelievably versatile. Flamenco has a new sound — no translation needed.

H aving officially blown past the one-month marker of my time in Turkey, I’m finally starting to feel less like a

wide-eyed tourist and more like a short-term resident of Istanbul — a key distinction, I can assure you.

With its busy, cosmopolitan atmosphere, Taksim Square is a center of leisure, culture and political importance, even considered by some to be the heart of modern Istanbul. Though it’s technically the road leading up to the Square, Istiklal Caddesi, Independence Avenue and the off-shooting side streets that hold hundreds of bars, restaurants and stores, one simply refers to the entire area as Taksim.

The first time that I went to Taksim at night, I remember being stunned by the sheer number of people squeezing past each other in every direc-tion. Local shops and larger chains alike beg the youthful teens, handholding lovers, families and individuals to come in and spend their lire. And when the sun goes down, the Taksim crowd livens up. The area is like Marshall Street amped up to the nth degree.

Besides the sit-down cafes and restaurants, the lilting calls of the street peddlers pushing popcorn, nuts, mussels or slightly charred, excessively salted corn create a symphony of culinary temptation. Bliss is ending the night wolfing down a “wet hamburger,” a sloppy-Joe-esque delicacy that costs only the two lire that can still be scrounged from pockets after a suc-cessful night of drinking.

I’ve spent several nights at a grungy bar called 404 that my friends and I can count on for raucous

Turkish sing-alongs and cheap shots. The singing I can still only observe at this point, though I’m determined to learn the words to a few of the most unifying pop songs, and the drinks have earned 404 the affectionate nickname “Purell Palace.”

Taksim can satiate all different nightlife appetites, though. Some side streets — splashed with shifting Technicolor light — are so packed with people spilling out of dance clubs that they’re nearly impossible to walk down. There are hookah-hazed cafes tucked down allies. A ritzy club called 360 earns attendees a view of the Bosphorus from the penthouse of a 19th-century apartment building.

Not all my time in Taksim has been spent eating, drinking and shopping, though.

This past weekend I visited an antique book festival where I pawed through hundreds of musty old novels, textbooks, biographies and magazines. Two theaters squished between shops and jewelry stores just hosted an inter-national film festival. I recently meandered through an art exhibition hosted by a cultural nonprofit called SALT.

Though I admittedly appreciate the physi-cal aesthetic of modern art more often than I understand the meaning, the gallery’s collec-tion — which included an array of striking black-and-white photographs, a film of two men unabashedly dancing to a jangling beat and a series of short, grotesque narratives printed upon one wall — was nonetheless thought-provoking.

Taksim’s visibility and accessibility have also made it an ideal venue for political protest. Because of the recent escalation of ten-sion at the border between Syria and Turkey, Turkish citizens held anti-war demonstrations across the country last Thursday night, with the largest demonstration taking place in Taksim. Thousands of people marched, sang and poked protest signs at the night sky. Chants of “No to war! Peace now!” swallowed up all other sound. I’d never encountered such a large protest before, and the sight was inspiring, though intimidating enough to keep my friends and me hanging back, watching from inside a doorway.

Despite my myriad Taksim adventures, and although it’s now possible for me to meander down the street without my mouth agape in wonder, I’m still months away from exploring even one-half of what the area has to offer. I can’t wait to see what else I have to discover.

his Syracuse football ticket for $20, but sold it to a student over Facebook for her father. He charged the face value for an adult, which is $45.

“I thought that was a fair way of doing it,” he said.

In the state of New York, selling tickets for a price that exceeds face value is illegal. It is classified as ticket solicitation. While statutes are in place to protect ordinary consumers who resell their tickets equal to or below the face price, a person or corpora-tion must own a license to sell tickets above their purchase price.

Breaking the statutes regarding ticket solicitation, however, is merely a legal viola-tion. At its maximum, punishment for resell-ing four or fewer tickets for more than their face value is a fine of $500.

“A violation, by definition, is not a crime,” said Professor Todd Berger of the SU College of Law and director of the Crim-inal Defense Clinic. Though it is illegal, he believes that ticket scalping is low on the list of priorities for law enforcement.

Despite legal issues, many students believe that ticket mark-ups among students on Face-book are fair.

Francis Sirois, a freshman broadcast and digital journalism major, said he doesn’t have much money to spend on marked-up tickets, but he agrees with the system.

“If you weren’t organized enough to buy them when they were cheaper, the longer you wait, the more expensive things get,” he said.

To some, ticket scalping in the digital realm is a natural part of economics. Peter Katz, a

graduate student in the English and textual studies department, studies Marxist writings and believes they can explain ticket mark-ups. Ticket scalping is the logical conclusion of capi-talism: to acquire goods by any means and then sell those goods in order to acquire capital.

Students agree with this system, even on Facebook.

“I think that’s how the world of commerce works. People are smart, and if they know that (other) people want something, they’ll raise the price on it,” said Dolak.

Michaella Vagelatos, a sophomore com-munication and rhetorical studies major, believes that ticket prices depend not sim-ply on face value, mark-ups, convenience or economics via social media, but on the individual buyer.

Said Vagelatos: “If you’re going to spend extra, it has to be worth it to you.”

offers from professional teams before settling on SU.

It was a convenient choice for Nikki, whose entire extended family grew up nearby. And at the front desk, behind the glass filled with baklava, she gave every family member a call to update them on Stefanos’ game against Louis-ville last Saturday.

The calls can go for hours during the week, but when it comes to Stefanos and to her fam-ily, Nikki is a dedicated promoter.

The support for Stefanos spreads beyond his immediate family.

“I love the kid like he’s my own,” said John Gotsis, a family friend and a recipient of many of Nikki’s calls. “And when you get to be around these people at these games, you feel like we’re all his parents. And with the food and the togeth-erness, we feel like we’re all family.”

There are the people from St. Sophia’s Greek Orthodox Church on Waring Road that make the trip. Extended family from Auburn, N.Y., and Buffalo, N.Y., drives out to Syracuse to watch his games, too. On a “good day,” Nikki estimates around 200 people gather for her son’s games. The turnout for the Saturday tailgate against Louisville wasn’t a good day by her standards, though. Just 75 people originally showed up for the full tailgate and the spinach pies, spanakopita and sausage soup that came with it.

“They’ll be more that show up,” she said. “At least 50 more, I think.”

A lot more did. Brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, neighbors and customers came from all over New York. And as they all sat in folding lawn chairs

around a potluck spread, they talked — in Greek, sometimes — about soccer and about Stefanos.

It’s not a tradition Nikki plans on ending. Next year, she says, they’ll roast a lamb on a spit in the Manley Field House parking lot.

“Everyone is welcome to come eat and enjoy themselves,” Nikki said. “As long as they root for Stefanos.”

Just how they root for Stefanos is of no concern to her. A family friend told her that she had put a “voo-doo curse” on the Louisville players. Others, like Cristos, used more conventional methods, yelling down to the field in Greek. Her eldest son, Georg,e used Greek half the time — mostly cursing.

George, a former player at Le Moyne, implored the team to utilize his little brother even more.

“Do you think the referee can hear you?” a nearby fan asked.

“No, but the coach can,” replied George, “And if he can hear me they might let him take a free kick to shut me up.”

He was not the only one shouting. Despite a few valiant efforts — including a through ball from Stamoulacatos that rolled a few feet ahead of a late-running Tony Asante — SU couldn’t tie the game back up.

As other fans filed out after the 2-1 loss, the “Greek Section” remained, watching Stefanos as he conducted his postgame interviews. And while the group of family and friends waited to greet Stefanos, his mother got a head start on organizing the next time they’ll all be together again — almost two weeks from now at the Orange’s last home game.

“Remember,” she told the group, “there’s one more home game. And don’t cook anything — I’ll take care of it.”

at first and then just kept doing it because we would hang out together,” Millman said. “I was more of a soccer player.”

Sarah said she and her sister — only a year apart from each other — were very competi-tive, always pushing the other to become a better player.

The Millman sisters were teammates in middle school, at Southern Lehigh (Pa.) High School and for the X-Calibur Field Hockey Club in Pennsylvania.

It wasn’t until her freshman year of high school that Millman realized she could play at the Division-I level. Her club team coach, she said, gave the players a list and had them high-light the D-I schools they would want to play for.

Millman didn’t go highlighter-happy, but not because she was modest — she just didn’t know how talented she was.

“I remember highlighting like two teams, not thinking it was a big deal,” Millman said. “Then she returned it back and she had highlighted like all of the Division-I teams. I had no clue.”

Millman’s speed and skill set attracted a long list of schools before she eventually chose Syracuse. She then watched her future team go 22-2 and reach the final four in 2008, building up her excitement to join the program.

Even though she decided on Syracuse before the 2008 season, Millman knew she was going to a talented team, her sister said.

“I know for a fact that she picked Syracuse because it was going to be a school that she felt was going to get her as far in the NCAA tournament as possible,” said Sarah Millman, who played field hockey at American. “And she wanted to be on a team that was going to the final four and was going to be in the NCAAs every year. She picked the right team.”

Millman didn’t earn a starting spot in her first two years with the Orange. Her first two

seasons were a learning process, in which her older teammates taught her about forward movement and the press.

Bradley said that two-year span was impor-tant for Millman’s development and under-standing of how the team’s offense moves.

Bradley also said that “5 o’clock happy hour with Steve” — as the team used to call it — was a great experience for Millman. During the winter of Millman’s sophomore year, she and teammate Heather Susek had a scheduling conflict and couldn’t make some of the team’s practices. The two would meet with assistant coach Steve Simpson for their own training session at J.S. Coyne Field to work on their shooting and technique.

The individual technical development paid off for Millman. After coming off the bench her first two seasons, she exploded offensively as a starter during her junior season. She finished with 51 points, which ranked best in the Big East and 10th nationally.

“I think last year was a really big confidence booster for me,” Millman said. “I really didn’t know how much potential I really had at the Division-I level until last year.”

After her breakout season, Millman received plenty of respect from her teammates going into her senior year.

Her SU teammates said Millman has the ideal personality for a captain. Regardless of the team’s diversity, Millman can bring all of the team’s personalities together. And as one of the oldest players on the Orange, it is now Mill-man’s turn to teach the younger players as her teammates taught her.

It is a challenge to lead one of the nation’s top contenders, but Millman’s teammates say she has handled it with ease.

“She always knows what to say to the team before we get on the field,” goaltender Leann Sti-ver said. “She’s very supportive of everything and she’s got a great mindset out there to lead our team to an undefeated season.”

Thirty years later, Jim Powers still insists his 1982 Syracuse team got snubbed.

Back then, the Big East champion didn’t get an automatic bid, but Powers was posi-tive that beating Boston College in the conference tournament final would ensure an NCAA bid for the Orange.

The match was the longest in confer-ence history, taking more than 160 minutes before Syracuse won 1-0 and was crowned as the first-ever Big East tournament cham-pion. But Powers and his teammates were too exhausted to celebrate after the gruel-ing match.

“The celebration didn’t really happen until the next night down on Marshall Street,” Pow-ers said. “Then it happened.”

The Orangemen finished the season 17-3-2 and won the Big East tournament, yet failed to qualify for the NCAA tournament. Despite that disappointment, the players, now in their early 50s, still look back on the 1982 season with a sense of pride and accom-

plishment. SU outscored its opponents 51-8 during the regular season that year and defeated St. John’s and BC to clinch the conference title.

Former players from that team have been following this year’s team closely and they are impressed at the turnaround from a 3-12-1 record in 2011 to a 9-4 start. On the verge of an appearance in the Big East tournament, this year’s team will look to leave its mark with a championship run in the program’s final season in the conference.

Powers and his teammates created their own legacy at SU with their remarkable 1982 season.

In the sixth overtime against BC in the championship game, Powers corralled a deep pass from SU goalkeeper Joe Papaleo. He took one touch to the 18 yard line, the Eagles goalie came out and Powers slid the ball past his arm into the right side of the net, giving Syracuse the 1-0 win.

The very next day, Powers and his team-mates awaited the news of whether they quali-fied for the NCAA tournament, their fate in the hands of the committee.

The committee wasn’t convinced by SU’s strong resume, though, and it passed over the Orange.

Defender Ken Hayward remembers being crushed when the team didn’t qual-ify for the tournament.

“We played really, really hard and won,” Hayward said. “For some reason we got snubbed by the NCAA. We had a phenom-enal record and won the conference tourna-ment and didn’t get in.”

Syracuse had never made it to the NCAA tournament, and Hayward thought the heroic win over BC was the clincher.

“Our mindset was to do whatever it took to win the game,” Hayward said. “Six overtimes? We don’t care. We’ll run them into the ground. And that’s basically what we did.”

Though the historic season brings back fond memories, it’s also a bit fuzzy for Powers. Thirty years have passed, and the players have gone their separate ways.

“That goal was the defining moment of the season,” Powers said. “The other stuff, it’s been 30 years and it’s hard to remember that stuff, but that goal was something I’ll never forget.”

Defender Matt Moro said he barely remem-bers certain aspects of the game. He just remembers being incredibly tired and playing an absurd amount of minutes.

Shifting his focus, Hayward is excited this year’s Orange is in a position to con-tend for the Big East championship. In the team’s last season before departing for the Atlantic Coast Conference, Hayward said SU has a shot to make history.

He said winning the conference tourna-ment would solidify Syracuse’s stamp on the Big East and make for an entertaining finish to its 30-year run.

“That would be bookends,” Hayward said. “It would be a beautiful story if they were able to do it. If they’re able to leave on a high note, I think it would be an outstand-ing thing for the university.”

teleconference. “He’s truly an outstanding back that’s very difficult to bring down and makes people miss.”

Jamison has rushed for 601 yards in five games, an average of 120.2 per game. The sophomore has carried a heavy load for the Scarlet Knights offense, getting 130 touches on the ground, second only to Con-necticut’s Lyle McCombs. His effectiveness has complemented Rutgers’ stout defense, taking precious minutes off the clock with

his team out in front. Rutgers is second in the Big East in time of

possession, controlling the ball for just more than 33 minutes a game. It’s a battle SU lost to Pittsburgh but overcame due to a strong defen-sive effort.

The Orange will need to contain Jamison to pull off the upset on the road — something Mar-rone knows will be a tough task.

“On the offensive side of the football, they do an outstanding job. They’re going to move the football,” Marrone said. “They make big plays and they don’t really give you a lot of opportu-nity because they burn up so much time.”

SP ORT S

By Nick ToneySTAFF WRITER

T wenty pigtailed pre-teen Greek girls overtook the loud and stomping rendition of “Let’s-Go, Or-ange” at SU Soccer Stadium.

“Por-To-Kal-I,” went their new chant, high-pitched and just as loud. “Por-To-Kal-I.”

They giggled when other fans joined in. Yet another part of this Syracuse men’s soccer season had gone Greek — something the four generations and nearly 200 members of the extended family in attendance say they’re proud of as they watch Stefanos Stamoulacatos play at each game.

Stamoulacatos, a local product out of West Genesee High School, starts for a rejuvenated Syracuse team this season. And for every home game, his family packs the now-anointed “Greek Section” at SU Soccer Stadium for something that’s much more than just a 90-minute game.

With an orange, tie-dyed Greek flag as its banner, each game is a cultural event. And with the screaming little cousins that translate English chants for all to hear, but few to understand, it’s also a family reunion. But only after an excessive tailgate spread and a few Greek curse words in the Manley Field House parking lot does the hometown kid suit up for his hometown team.

That’s when the fun really begins. “They’re all crazy,” Stamoulacatos said with a smile.

“My family is crazy.”The two halves of Nikki Stamoulacatos’ world —

her tight-knit Greek family and the blossoming soccer career of her son, Stefanos — collide every morning when she opens both of the family businesses at 6 a.m.

The first is Olympic News, a newsstand that fea-tures a few Greek magazines and Greek candy, located at the Galleries of Syracuse mall on South Salina Street. She makes sure that before customers file in, they can’t miss the tall stack of Syracuse soccer team posters at the front desk.

Then, she brews fresh coffee and plans for the next game day at Cristos Cafe right next door. And four framed Orange jerseys hang on the walls around the restaurant.

“We make sure that everyone knows there’s a game coming up,” she said.

Stefanos has been a source of pride for the family for some time now. He’s been to Germany, Portugal and Costa Rica as part of the United States U-18 and U-19 national teams. And his father, Cristos — after whom the cafe is named — said his son fielded a number of

By Ryne GerySPORTS EDITOR

Three days later, Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone kept his thoughts on his team’s victory over Pittsburgh to a minimum. He was proud of his players on Fri-day night, but the win didn’t hold any extra weight for his previously struggling program.

“I’d rather go back and finish the season before we start putting labels on games,” Marrone said during the Big East coaches’ teleconference on Monday. “Obviously I haven’t done a good job, I haven’t won enough games and I realize that, and our focus is to win today.”

Marrone’s focus has already shifted to the team’s matchup with No. 20 Rutgers on Saturday in Pis-cataway, N.J. The Orange’s win over the Panthers was its first in Big East play since last October. Syracuse’s next challenge will come against a Scarlet Knights team that leads the conference in scoring defense, rush-ing defense and interceptions.

The impressive numbers are not lost on Marrone as he pre-pares for Saturday.

“Well where should I start?” Mar-rone said during the teleconference. “I mean there’s so many different ways. Obviously total defense, the full defense, the rushing defense, the pass efficiency defense, the scoring defense, tackles for loss, the turnover margin obviously is huge; they’re seventh in the country.”

Rutgers ranks second in the country with 10 interceptions, returning two for touchdowns. And as the statistics show, the unit has limited its opponents on the ground and through the air en route to five straight victories to start the season.

“Statistically, this is probably the best defense that we’ve faced since we’ve been here,” Marrone said.

Jamison to provide challenge For Marrone, every week has presented a challenge for the rush defense. In its first five games, the Orange faced a talented playmaker in the backfield.

This Saturday, the unit will face the conference’s leading rusher in Jawan Jamison.

“He’s up there with the kids we just played at Pitt, with the kids that we’ve played in these past couple games,” Marrone said during the

When Syracuse discussed this season’s captaincy in the spring, the team deter-mined it wanted one distinct leader.

The Orange elected Kelsey Mill-man to be that voice.

“She’s been one of the best cap-tains I’ve ever had in my coaching career,” said head coach Ange Brad-

ley, now in the 16th year of her head coaching career. “Kelsey is really good at bringing people together. She has the foresight and the ability to see a big picture.

“I think that is why Kelsey is our captain.”

Now in her senior season, Mill-man is the captain that the No. 1 Orange (12-0) envisioned, leading

the team to an undefeated start. The forward initiates movement among her teammates, making her the most important part of the high-scoring SU offense. Millman leads the Orange with 21 and is tied for the team lead with eight goals.

Aside from her offensive duties, Millman sets an example for her younger teammates. And as the

captain, her actions represent the Orange program as a whole.

Luckily for Syracuse, Millman continued to play a sport that she wasn’t in love with when she started more than 10 years ago. She only picked up a field hockey stick because her older sister, Sarah, played.
