Flyers may need passportsNew York passengers might need different identification by 2016
By Sara Swannasst. news editor
People from four U.S. states, including New York, may need a passport to fly domestically start-ing Jan. 1, 2016.
Standard licenses from New York, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire and American Samoa do not meet federal standards outlined in the Real ID Act, and are therefore considered “noncompliant” with security standards, according to a Sept. 23 Huffington Post article.
The Real ID Act was enacted in 2005 and since then 46 states have complied with the policy.
Keli Perrin, assistant direc-tor of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism (INSCT), said for the last 10 years, states have eventually complied with the Real ID Act, leaving four states still resisting the act.
Fifteen years ago, Perrin said, hundreds of documents could be accepted at the border, so the fed-eral government passed the Real ID Act in an effort to limit the number of documents accepted.
When the Real ID Act was first
Since 2012, SU Libraries has been moving low-use print items into a high-density storage facility on South Campus. So far, more than 600,000 items have been moved into storage with about 400,000 of those items being print books. logan reidsma photo editor

Surrounded by graveyards and industrial buildings on the outskirts of South Campus, a
nondescript warehouse sits in a rarely visited part of Syracuse University.
The only other university build-ing in the area is home to the materi-
als distribution department, which is down the street. The building itself, called “The Facility,” is gray, and the newly paved parking lot in front of the building is barely filled.
Inside “The Facility,” though, is a complex, high-density storage oper-ation involving more than 600,000 items from SU Libraries, said Anthony Carbone, manager of “The Facility.”
High-density storage is a process by which items are stored with the intent of taking up the least amount of space possible. The result is that 7,100 shelves — at 12 feet tall — can store up to 1 million items in a rela-tively small space, Carbone said. But “The Facility” is not easily brows-able like the shelves in Bird Library.
Congressional candidate discusses college issuesBy Ali Linanasst. copy editor
While Syracuse University Professor Eric Kingson’s campaign for Congress will focus on social security, Kingson says he will also work to combat issues relating to college students.
Kingson, a social work professor at SU, announced on Sept. 16 his run-ning to New York’s 24th Congres-sional District representative. The 69-year-old said in his official cam-paign announcement that protecting and expanding social security is a major part of his platform, but said in
an interview with The Daily Orange that he would also focus on student issues, including student debt, cam-pus safety, environmental issues and an increase in the job market.
As a professor, Kingson said he believes that he has a special per-spective and understanding of what
college students face or want from a public figure, especially when it comes to student debt.
“It is wrong for young people to come out with a lot of debt,” he said. “We see the cost of education rising.”

For Sophia Blayney, a sophomore acting major, working in a theater is natural. However, her current job does not include being on a stage at all. She works in the box office at Syracuse Stage.
Syracuse Stage is the home of the Syracuse University Depart-ment of Drama as well as shows featuring professional actors. The stage hosts professional produc-tions, student productions and co-pros, which casts a mixture of students and professionals.
Blayney sells and distributes tickets for all of these produc-tions. She also answers the phone for the stage and assists custom-ers with any questions about upcoming shows.
Because most of the employ-ees at the box office are students, Syracuse Stage provides for an opportunity for acting students to be involved with a different side of the stage.
“Because they hire SU Drama students, it does get pretty one-on-one,” Blayney said. “Generally,
you wouldn’t be in collaboration with the actors.”
Last year, Blayney worked at the stage as an usher and continues to hold that position as well as her job at the box office. The two jobs differ greatly not only in description, but also in perception. Blayney said

people treat her differently depending on what job she is working that night.
Blayney’s job away from the stage showed her the importance of every person involved in the making of a show.
“I feel like it’s important to know what does go on behind the scenes.
Not just of the shows, but of the entire collaborative process,” Blayney said. “Working any part of theater that’s not actually on stage gives you a better appreciation for the fact that these people are working really hard to make your performance possible.”

Pianist Leon Fleisher performs, discusses careerBy Ali Linanasst. copy editor
Leon Fleisher’s mother gave him a choice — either become the first Jew-ish president of the United States or become a great concert pianist.
He chose the latter.Fleisher, a teacher, conductor
and world-renowned concert pia-nist, filled the lower level of Hen-dricks Chapel on Tuesday as the first guest for this semester’s Uni-versity Lecture Series. This semes-ter features four lectures.
“An Evening with Leon Fleisher” began with the viewing of the Oscar-nominated documentary on the life of the 87-year-old conductor.
“Two Hands,” directed by Natha-niel Kahn, told the story of how the concert pianist, who began playing at age 4, was not going to let anything stop him from playing.
Fleisher was unable play the piano for an extended period of time while a cut he had on his right thumb healed, but was back in front of the
piano as soon as he could be. How-ever, after 10 months, the pianist realized that it took an enormous amount of energy for him to extend his hand and fingers.
Unable to play, Fleisher turned to conducting, saying that by doing so he discovered that he had a connec-
tion to music and not necessarily a connection to the piano.
It was later discovered that Fleisher suffered from a neurological disorder where the brain was unable to communicate with his right hand, rendering him unable to extend his fingers. It was not until after surgery that he was able to play again.
The second part of the lecture allowed for Fleisher to play two pieces on the piano for the audience.
The first piece was titled “La Puerta del Vino,” by Debussy.
The second piece, previously agreed upon with Esther Gray, special assistant to the vice chan-cellor and provost and coordinator of the University Lecture Series, was changed, with Fleisher saying, “Esther, I’d like to play something else.” Fleisher instead played “All the Things You Are” by Jerome Kern.
The recital was followed by a dis-cussion moderated by Ralph Zito, chair for the Department of Drama at SU’s College of Visual and Per-forming Arts, where the two dis-
cussed teaching and conducting.Fleisher described teaching as
both a “sheer joy” and a “challenge.”“If you are blessed with amorous
and questioning students, you have to come up with answers,” he said. “The worst sin of all for teachers is to pass on bad, stale or uninspired information.”
Fleisher also said conducting is an opportunity to be connected with music while also including everyone; by this, he means the orchestra.
“When you think of an orchestra of 70, 80, 90, 100 people who breathe as one — it is truly wondrous,” he said.
The lecture launched a week of events with Fleisher at SU. On Thurs-day, Fleisher will hold a free music master class as part of the Setnor’s Baker Guest Artist Series. He will also be the guest conductor for the SU Symphony Orchestra on Friday.
“The more you live, the more you experience, the more you have to draw upon from that fund of that experience and it to bear on what you’re doing,” Fleisher said.

Homecoming tradition should be adjusted for fairness, inclusivity
This week is the last opportunity to submit nominations for Homecoming Court, but before casting your ballot,
consider that the time-honored tradition on campus deserves some peer review. Homecoming at Syracuse University is an institution of redundant awarding, unchecked use of the popular vote and cis-normativity. While the tradition does hold real-world value, it needs to become more inclusive and relevant to the entire student body. The selection process is rigorous; appli-cants are chosen by a Homecoming committee that reviews the resumes, past awards, schol-arships, community service work, internships, jobs and campus involvement of each prospec-tive nominee. SU reserves the titles of Homecoming King and Queen for the cream of the academic and extracurricular crop. These students absolutely deserve to be rewarded for their successes — the problem is just that so many of them already have been. The fact that past awards and schol-arships are even taken into consideration to crown a Homecoming court shows this vetting
system is flawed. The crowning of Homecoming royalty over-laps with other major awards the university gives out, including the Orange Spirit Award, Senior Class Marshals and Remembrance Scholars. Each one of these honors rewards students for their academic prowess, devotion to community service and leadership within the SU population. For these reasons, Homecoming is a missed opportunity to recognize students with other worthy attributes, like perseverance in overcoming personal or physical obstacles. Acknowledging some of SU’s student veterans would be an excellent alternative to the current redundant system. The final selections of King and Queen are made by popular vote. ‘Popular’ is the operative word here; it is not enough to be an excellent student devoted to the SU community, to win
you also have to be well-liked and widely-known. “I thought I did the most campaigning so I was surprised when I didn’t win,” said Danielle McCoy ‘13, Court member and runner-up to the Queen. “To be honest, I think being African American counted against me, because although I knew a lot of students outside of my race, I did not know enough to get me to win.” The popular vote favors candidates who are members of large student organizations, like a fraternity or sorority, who have a captive audience they can campaign to. Despite the emphasis on popularity, Home-coming is not a frivolous honor. Karen McGee, assistant dean for student affairs in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and an advisor in the school’s Career Develop-ment Center, said the title on a resume would pique her interest. “I do think at the college level, it still is about how many people you know but there tends to be less focus on the superficial and more on involve-ment and accomplishments,” McGee said. As a university, SU should strive to give all students the opportunity to earn significant
resume-builders. Unfortunately, the exhaus-tive list of prerequisites to the application makes no mention of gender identification, or any potential exceptions to the gender binary roles of King and Queen. It appears that Orange Central Royalty hopefuls who don’t align with SU’s gender restrictive terms will not be represented as the gender — or lack thereof — they identify with. Online records of previous Homecoming Courts show that there have never been any openly transgender winners, a “challenge” high school homecomings and proms across the country have managed to overcome. Homecoming at SU is a tradition and honor that can be improved. The establishment of a polling place on campus may reduce student participation, but ultimately result in a more honest vote, making the winners more repre-sentative of the SU community.

ZHANÉ SOUTER DO I REALLY HAVE TO GRADUATE?
Shortly after Scott Walker dropped out of the presidential race last week, two of his state chairmen for South Caroli-
na and New Hampshire, among other staffers in Iowa, formally voiced their support for
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. This shocked many people, as the announcements came almost immediately after the Wisconsin governor removed himself from the Republican ticket. With Walker gone, all eyes are on Rubio,
as talk of him being a likely recipient of the Republican Party’s nomination has increased. This comes as no surprise, con-sidering both Walker and Rubio shared fairly similar stances on various issues, including abortion. There was even talk from Walker of eyeing Rubio to be his running mate. Despite Donald Trump consistently poll-ing in first place across the board, Rubio has a clear shot at winning the GOP nomination. He has the political experience, comes from humble beginnings and has an undoubted and genuine love for this country that truly shows when he speaks. With the candidate pool becoming more shallow as election season goes on, Rubio will have the chance to shine and this GOP underdog will prevail. While Rubio did not come out on top in the last GOP debate, his performance was recognized as a strong one. He clearly knows how to keep his cool, has a sense of humor and is able to answer questions intelligibly – unlike many of his Republican counterparts. Rubio has already begun to gain in popu-larity, as proved by Trump being booed at the annual Values Voter Summit in Washington, DC. The crowd erupted in disapproval when he called Rubio a “clown.” Although commentators have been show-ing signs of support for Rubio, it is important
that he does not get overconfident. The elec-tion itself is not for another year, and there is plenty of time for him to lose ground. In order to avoid a campaign failure, Rubio should pick a strong running mate, granted he wins the nomination, in addition to keep-ing up with his senatorial duties. With Carly Fiorina’s surge in the polls, it would be wise for him to pick her as his right-hand gal, while staying away from weaker links like Walker. While many of Walker’s supporters and donors have jumped ship to the Rubio camp, far-right conservatives have not. But what these voters are not keeping in mind is that ultra-conservative presidential hopefuls, including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huck-abee, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and former Penn-sylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, only represent a small faction of the country and the party. The GOP needs a candidate that stands up for more than just hardline conservatives. The party needs someone who will be able to reach key demographics like women, youth and independents. With the parties more polarized than ever, it is important to keep in mind that electability should play a factor in who gets the GOP nomination. Sen. Rubio has that fire, fresh face and new perspective that America needs and should get behind come 2016.

Large-scale book storage should continuescribble
Syracuse University should continue moving low-use library materials into
high-density storage facilities. High-density storage is a pro-cess in which items are stored with the intent of taking up the least amount of space possible. At SU, a building known as “The Facility” is that high-density storage complex, and houses more than 600,000 items from SU libraries. The university can save money, extend the longevity of its books and increase the amount of student study spaces by moving more print-ed volumes into “The Facility.” Transferring print volumes will save the university more than $1.9 million within the next five years, according to an April 2015 SU librar-ies report. This is because it costs $4.26 (in 2009 dollars) per year to keep a book on an open library stack,
but it only costs $0.86 (in 2009 dol-lars) to store a book in high-density storage, according a 2010 council of library information resources study. Moving forward, university libraries must remain considerate of students’ accessibility to these materials if the high-density storage practice is to be expanded. To ensure books that are essential to class curriculums on campus are not abruptly removed from campus, SU libraries must maintain a balance in the system that selects the materials that are moved to storage facilities. All items that go into “The Facil-ity” are low-use or never-circulated items, said David Seaman, dean of SU libraries. However, every item that is stored can be accessed with a request through SU libraries. In the same way that this pro-cess is a cost-effective way to house books, it is also an effective way in
preserving them. In the facility’s conditions, stored items can last up to 270 years, said Anthony Carbone, manager of the operation. Moving rarely used print materi-als out of SU libraries and into “The Facility” will also improve student accessibility to study spaces on campus. This process will reinforce the university’s shift toward the learning commons model, which emphasizes community study spac-es rather than the amount of shelf space available for books. Universities have a fundamental responsibility to preserve academic materials and ensure that these resources are accessible to stu-dents. In continuing to move books into high-density storage facilities, SU can be more cost-efficient in looking to properly preserve its print volumes and enhance study spaces for students on campus.
Yuri Milner, a billionaire venture capitalist, said in an interview at TechCrunch
Disrupt 2015 last week that he doesn’t foresee trouble in the future between humans and robots. Rather than war, bloodshed and an outcome similar to that of “The Terminator,” he sees a “peaceful coex-istence” between man and machine. Despite Milner’s significant clout due to his investments in Facebook and Twitter, his opinion contradicts that of two of tech’s most revered figures: Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk. In an interview in 2014, Musk said artificial intelligence is a bigger threat to humanity than nuclear warfare, global warming, meteors and anything else that can keep one up at night. “I think we should be very careful
about artificial intelligence,” Musk said. “If I had to guess at what our big-gest existential threat is, it’s probably that. So we need to be very careful.” Musk failed to mention any-thing even remotely resembling a peaceful coexistence and it sounds like he thinks robots are a ticking time-bomb ready to blow up humanity without the intervention of stricter regulations. Now, if this was only Musk’s opinion, and no one else agreed with him, maybe his thoughts could be passed off as both exaggerated and cynical. That’s not the case,
however, as Musk and Hawking are part of a group of scientists, researchers and academics that has written an open letter calling for the termination of AI weapons development. To sum up that letter, it basically says: if the world continues to develop artificial intelligence for warfare, it may become the most destructive technology mankind has ever created. I don’t know if Milner has read the letter or not, but the notable names attached to it are enough for me to doubt the likelihood of the man-ma-chine relationship Milner alluded to. It’s not that I believe robots are evil. Rather, it’s the inevitability of the continued development of robots for military purposes that makes me worry. While most drones are human-controlled right now,
self-controlled drones are set to hit the consumer marketplace in 2016. The threat posed by artificial intel-ligence goes beyond just being imple-mented as killing machines, however. A Business Insider article projects that one-third of all jobs will be replaced by robots within the next 10 years. So, not only will they be used as weapons, but they’ll take our jobs, too. Mass media often leans toward a struggle between man and machine more than a rosy partnership between the two. Examples include “I, Robot,” “The Terminator” and “Ex Machina.” They all consist of a struggle between man and machine in which the machines have a high likelihood of vanquishing us, except there is a hero who saves the day. “Ex Machi-na” doesn’t exactly fit that script, but you get the point.
When the inevitable robot-hu-man war does happen, Will Smith isn’t likely to be around to save us, and Arnold certainly won’t. The question is: who will? The answer may be that we are unsavable. What these movies and other various pieces of media indicate is that society is creating a Frankenstein that we cannot stop. Until there is confirmation that Milner has seen the future that Hollywood and distinguished fig-ures have drawn up for us, it’s hard to trust his judgment on this issue. He’s just too optimistic.

Since 2012, Carbone said, both Bird and Car-negie Libraries have been moving print volumes, documents and other archival media items into storage inside “The Facility,” which is about three miles from main campus. Continuing to move print volumes into “The Facility” will save the university about $2 million over the next five years, according to a recent SU Libraries report.
The move comes as both Bird and Carne-gie libraries have shifted toward adopting a learning commons model, which emphasizes community study spaces rather than stacks of books, said Jill Hurst-Wahl, the director of the Library and Information Science program in the School of Information Studies.
Per day, “The Facility” processes and stores about 1,000 items, according to an SU Library facility fact sheet. That has helped overcapac-ity in SU Libraries drop from 60 percent to less than 15 percent, according to the April report.
Recent estimates peg the cost of keeping a book on an open library stack at $4.26 per year (in 2009 dollars). It only costs $0.86 (in 2009
dollars) to store a book in high-density storage, according a 2010 council of library information resources study. Moving print volumes into “The Facility,” then, will save the university more than $1.9 million within the next five years, according to an April 2015 SU Libraries report.
“The Facility” is also a response to over-crowding in Bird Library, which is partly a result of the shift toward the learning com-mons model. The model has decreased the amount of shelf space available, according to an April 2015 SU Libraries report.
“In many ways, academic libraries are mov-ing from, fundamentally, a focus on the materi-als we could gather in a building, which used to be the way we thought of our primary role in order to drive new scholarship, to really a set of services,” said David Seaman, dean of SU libraries, who was introduced as dean in June.
“The Facility’s” main operation takes place in an open room where the building’s staff of five receives all of the books, documents, maps, microfilm, microfiche and special collection items that are chosen by the library administration to be stored.
Each item is stored based on a careful for-mula that takes into account item type and size
in order to maximize space. The vault itself is climate controlled at 53 degrees and 30 per-cent humidity. In these conditions, items can last up to 270 years, Carbone said.
All of the items that go into “The Facility” are low-use or seldom-circulated items, Seaman said.
However, every item that is catalogued and stored can be accessed by “The Facility’s” staff with a request through SU Libraries. In most cases, a digital copy can be scanned and provided to the person who requested it. “The Facility” averages around 40 scan requests per day, said Carbone.
Nationally, academic libraries on college campuses have also been changing to accom-modate more study spaces and less print materials. More and more warehouses like “The Facility” are being built for the sole purpose of high-density storage. As of 2014, an estimated 75 high-density storage facilities have been built in the U.S., according to a report from American Libraries Magazine. That trend, the report said, is expected to increase.
“It actually goes back to an older mode of libraries where you didn’t always have instant access to everything,” said Hurst-Wahl, the director of the Library and Infor-
mation Science program in the School of Information Studies.
In total, SU has about 3.3 million print volumes in its collection, according to an upcoming SU Libraries report. Of those, 454,821 are now in high-density storage at “The Facility,” Carbone said.
However, some fear that moving any print volumes into storage at all, especially to a place that is as far away and as unknown as “The Facility,” undermines the role of the print book in scholarship.
“There’s a loss that if you were walking down that shelf of books you wouldn’t just run into something,” Seaman said. “I love browsing shelves of books, I find things sometimes that I didn’t know what I was looking for.”
passed, Perrin said some people thought it seemed like the government was trying to establish a national ID. National IDs, Perrin added, are commonly associated with coun-tries that are not free, which is why many people were initially opposed to the act.
Instead of the federal government paying state governments to comply with the Real ID Act, Perrin said, the federal government is instead telling states to comply or their resi-dents cannot fly domestically.
Even though these four states may only have until the end of the year to comply with the act, Perrin said, “no one should be panicked.”
“(The Department of Homeland Security) doesn’t want to make people angry,” Perrin said. “And states don’t want to be told what to do by the federal government. But I do think New York will eventually end up complying.”
Bill Smullen, director of national security studies at Syracuse University, said he was sur-prised to find New York in this predicament.
“For New York not to have done something before, this is shocking to me,” Smullen said. “I hope they do something before it is an actual policy. I’m hoping they’ll find some middle ground.”
Smullen said not everyone has or needs a passport. He added that elderly people should not have to go through the process of getting a passport just to visit their grandchildren.
If the Real ID Act requires the passports in 2016, there will be a three-month grace period where travelers who do not have a license com-pliant with the act will be warned that their IDs are no longer valid for domestic flights.
“All that does is kick the can down the road,” Smullen said in response to the three-month grace period. “We need more than an exten-sion. We need an alternative to the policy.”
Smullen said he does not think that this act makes or will make a measurable difference to national security.
Some people, Smullen said, don’t have an extra $110 to spend on a passport. He added that acquiring a passport is not an overnight process, so he does not think that the federal government should require travelers to have them.
However, Robert Murrett, deputy director of INSCT, said he thinks every college student should have a passport despite the cost.
While Murrett said he thinks requiring a pass-port will make the lines at the Department of Motor Vehicles longer, he said, “You almost have to fall back on another form of government-issued ID, which many of us have, or a passport.”
If the act is implemented in 2016 and a person does not have a passport, the TSA will also accept enhanced driver’s licenses, which allow people to travel to and from Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, according to a Sept. 17 Travel and Leisure article.
Of the four noncompliant states, however, only New York and Minnesota offer enhanced licenses.

$1.2 trillion in student debt.Kingson said he wants to see college students’
and advanced vocational education be debt free because by doing so, “the better our society will be and the more productive it will be.”
“I will work at every level to make college affordable, (with the support of others) because not one person can do it on their own,” he said.
In order to combat this, Kingson said that if elected, he plans on supporting laws for lower interest rates on student loans. He added that the system needs to be reworked.
Kingson said he would also work to make it
possible for students to have bankruptcy pro-tection, which allows students and their fam-ilies to restructure their assets and develop a plan moving forward so they are not in debt. This is especially beneficial to students who deal with major health problems either with themselves or with a family member, he said.
In addition, Kingson wants to work to restore the student benefits, a social security for children of people with disabilities or deceased workers. The benefit program currently goes until the student turns 18, but Kingson wants to extend the payment through college.
Campus safety is another issue that con-cerns college students. As a father of two, Kingson said he worries about the same issues.
While Kingson does not have an exact plan to combat this issue, he said that even with current systems in place, anything additional that can be done should be done.
Environmental issues are also a major topic of discussion among college campuses. In order to combat these issues, Kingson said he would “invest more in the environment” by supporting laws that require massive invest-ments in sustainable energy and working toward transitioning off of more dangerous emissions that harm the environment.
“I will look back on the (environmental) institutional discrimination law,” he said. “This will require massive investments in sustainable energy and working to transition off of more dan-
gerous chemicals that harm the environment.”Beyond making changes that will affect
college students while they are students, Kingson said that if elected, he would also work to improve the job market for when they graduate from college.
There’s not a magic wand (to fix the job market), but there can be investments in sus-tainable industries that will create jobs, such as investing in infrastructure, Kingson said.
If elected to Congress, Kingson said he would work to “put ideas forward, work with people and listen to them.”
“We can’t just say ‘oh, this is bad,’ we have to work hard with a lot of these issues,” he said.
thing for a long time. And if you do that and you build up trusts and relationships and all of that, you are able to write about American politics with a greater sense of history and knowledge and some authority; the fact that people pay attention to it, to me, is icing on the cake. I got into this busi-ness to report about things, and I prefer to let my writing and reporting to speak for itself.The D.O.: What initially got you interested in reporting on politics?D.B.: My first goal was to be a Washington reporter,
and I kind of stumbled into political reporting. I had wonderful mentors at the Post, such as David Broder. When I started at the Post, I was an editor, and I continued on to be a political editor; that was when I kind of realized I wanted to go into political reporting. I bounced between reporting and edit-ing for the first 10 years I was at the Post, and then in ‘89 I started full-time reporting.The D.O.: In your articles for the Post, you seem to appeal to both sides. Is it hard to maintain your voice while also taking an unbiased approach to your reporting? D.B.: No, it isn’t for me. It’s the way I grew up doing journalism, which was to be non-par-
tisan. I’ve always found interesting things to write about on both sides. I think the internal stories of each political party over the last quarter century are interesting in and of themselves. And I’ve wanted to cover them from a perspective of trying to understand each of their dynamics and kind of how they come together in the general elections. This country is changing constantly and part of political reporting is looking at what the reasons are for what we are seeing. People are putting forth their hopes and dreams and that’s part of who we are as Americans and that’s part of what makes political reporting,
to me, interesting. Obviously the horse race, and the battles back and forth, and the per-sonalities are interesting, but there’s more to it than that.The D.O.: With all of these emerging media plat-forms in today’s modern world, where do you see the future of political journalism?D.B.: I don’t see a future that in terms of content is dramatically different than what we have today. However, the digital age ushered in possibilities that we didn’t think about. I don’t know where it will go. In a good sense, it allows for storytelling from lots of different people.

Sixteen-year-old Hassan Adams slaugh-tered his first animal last week on a farm near Syracuse.
He followed the process as he was told — slitting the three jugular veins with a swift movement of the knife — so that the animal wouldn’t suffer a lot, and said a prayer on it so the meat could become halal.
“My hands shook a little in the beginning,” Adams said. “But it was amazing; I pray to Allah that he accepts my sacrifice.”
Adams, among others in the Muslim commu-nity in Syracuse, celebrated Eid al-Adha, one of the largest Muslim festivals, on Sept. 24. On Eid, Muslims sacrifice animals such as sheep, goat, lamb and cows. Eid is their time to offer sacri-fices to Allah, celebrate with family and share the meat with the poor. The meat is divided into three portions: one portion for the poor, one for the neighbors and one for the individual.
Magda Bayoumi, a board member of Inter-faith Works — one of the two main refugee agen-cies in Syracuse — said she has seen the city’s Muslim community grow from 500 people to nearly 12,000 people in the last 35 years. Some of the people go to farms to slaughter animals while some donate money to nonprofits, Bayoumi said.
It was the first Eid that Adams celebrated in Syracuse with his family. Originally from
Uganda, Adams and his siblings have spent all their life in South Africa with their mother. Adams’ sister, Jamilah, said their mother had been trying to get refugee status for their family for five years. The family finally reached Syracuse on March 31, but without their mother, who passed away in January.
“A couple of years ago, mom bought two chickens for Eid because we didn’t have any money to buy a goat,” Jamilah said. “She asked Hassan to slaughter a chicken and he let go of it during the process, and the poor chicken was dancing on the table with half of his throat slit.”
Jamilah said she was skeptical of Adams’ ability to slaughter the animal, but the slaughtering went well, and the whole family participated in the process.
Irfan Elahi, a volunteer at Mosque of Jesus, Son of Mary, took the family to Leach Farm, which is about an hour from Syracuse. Elahi, a Pakistani-American, said in Pakistan most peo-ple slaughter animals at home, but since home slaughter is not legal in the United States, peo-ple go to farms with licensed slaughterhouses.
Elahi said he encouraged Adams to slaugh-ter the animal because he wanted him to expe-rience the tradition firsthand. Elahi recalled that his father used to take him and his friend to the farm every year, where his father would slaughter the animal and they would help him. Then they would bring the meat home, distrib-ute the portions and then cook their share.
“Now, I go to the farm every year by myself to slaughter since my father has grown old,” he said.
When Elahi was younger, he said there was no concept of giving money to organizations who would do sacrifice on one’s behalf. Now, a lot of people donate money to the organiza-tions doing the Qurbani — or the sacrificing of animal — for them.
Adams and his family spent their last Eid al-Adha in Johannesburg, South Africa, Jami-lah said. They were invited to a family friend’s home where they ate Indian food like Biryani — spicy rice cooked with meat — and tikka — barbecued meat marinated with Indian spices.
Jamilah said Eid celebrations would continue for at least two days back home. The night before Eid, girls would get together to make henna tattoos on their hands. Everyone would wear new clothes in the morning and go to pray in the mosque.
“Eid is not a public holiday here in America, so Islamic Society of Central New York sent a letter to Hassan’s school about the Eid holi-day,” Jamilah said. “But we still got a call from his school in the morning about his absence.”
Jamilah added that Eid is different in the U.S. and said it can feel isolated for a person who does not have anyone to celebrate with.
But Adams seemed to be having fun, and told everyone that he had sacrificed his first animal.
“It was good, our first Eid-al Adha in America,” he said.
Members of the Muslim community select and slaughter different animals, such as goats, in celebration of Eid al-Adha. Eid al-Adha, also called the Feast of Syracuse, is the second of two holidays celebrated every year by Muslims worldwide. srosh anwar contributing writer

Roommates celebrate successfully faking it on parents weekend
Roommates Celebrate Successful Par-ents Weekend Façade
Sophomore Joseph Gaelin awoke Friday morning to a nightmarish reality. Hun-gover and unsure of where his phone was, he had only a few short hours to prepare his Wat-son Hall dormitory for his visiting parents.
“I woke up and immediately thought of fight or flight, you know,” Gaelin said. “Like the natural response my body went through was, ‘Joseph, get in your car and drive away.’ I didn’t have my phone so I figured it’d be pretty easy to fake a kidnapping.”Gaelin took a deep breath and surveyed the damage.
Amidst his snoozing roommates was a sea of paraphernalia his parents would certainly deem unsavory.
“My parents are really strict so I thought I was screwed. I send my mom Snapchats of me reading the Bible and she doesn’t even realize I’m being facetious. It was definitely a grave situation,” he said.
Gaelin’s first move was to wake his room-mates, fellow sophomores Kevin Seeley and Mac Kappera.
“That was my first big hurdle,” Gaelin said. “I really had to drive home how nice of a din-ner my parents would take us out to. I knew it had to be a team effort so I really leveraged all my diplomatic resources.”
Lofty promises having been made, Kappera and Seeley sprang into action.
“At first I was like, ‘Joseph, leave me alone.’ But then he brought me some water and told me we could get Dinosaur Bar-B-Que later so I was down to make some moves,” Kappera said. “I wasn’t pumped about cleaning stuff up but I’d kill a man in cold blood for a little Dino so I did what I could.”
Feigning colds to hide their hangovers, the trio greeted the Gaelin family with the usual niceties. From that point on, they were a well-oiled machine of deceit.
“I introduced them to my parents and Seeley talked to my mom about Food Network shows for like 45 minutes,” Gaelin said. “I really underestimated how good he’d be at schmoozing parents.”
“Yeah, it’s kind of my forte,” Seeley added. “My own parents think I’m the worst but my friends’ parents — moms in particular — love me. I think it’s all about eye contact and feign-ing interest in what they say. I’m just happy I had a role to play.”
After a quick tour of the Quad and Marshall Street, the crew made their way downtown to get the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que they were promised.
“I was really impressed with everyone’s behav-ior at dinner. Napkins on laps and no one used their fake to try and order beer,” Gaelin said. “At
one point, Kappera had to throw up in the bath-room, but he played it off well and was otherwise talkative. The gang really had a great showing.”
After the meal, nourished and victorious, the roommates said their goodbyes to the Gaelin family.
“Yeah fortunately its parents weekend for my sister too, so they couldn’t stay for the LSU game Saturday. Which is dope cause I’m going to drink like a ton of Burnett’s for that,” Gaelin said of his parents’ departure.
With all the odds stacked against them, the sophomore roommates squeaked out a parents weekend victory by a narrow margin, living to fight another day.
“Can you include in your story that Mrs. Gaelin is pretty hot?” asked Mac Kappera. Yes, yes I certainly can.

Nostalgia surrounding ‘90s should not detract from modern culture
I am not a ‘90s kid.I was born in 1995 and I have about
three lasting memories from the decade. My nostalgia for the 1990s stems from experi-ences after the turn of the millennium, which include staples of ‘90s kid-ness like watching “Rugrats,” taping shows with a VCR, traveling with a portable CD player or cranking out homework assignments to Nirvana.
So let’s get this straight: I love plenty of things from the 1990s, but I’d hardly go so far as to say it’s better than any other decade, like what a new wave of millennial nostalgia is beginning to suggest.
Sept. 12 was the first step in this new wave of nostalgia for the decade with the first annu-al “’90s Fest.” This festival featured costumed Nickelodeon characters, booths sponsored by companies like Nickelodeon and SunnyD, and, most notably, a musical lineup for the ages,
featuring (washed-up) acts from the 1990s including Coolio, Lisa Loeb, Salt-n-Pepa, Blind Melon and Smash Mouth.
The whole festival was emceed by forgotten ‘90s actor Pauly Shore. Tickets for the one-day event ranged from $60 for general admission to $150 for VIP tickets.
Corporations are beginning to realize the degree of profitability that ‘90s nostalgia brings with it, and the fact that events like “’90s Fest” completely sold out shows that we’re just begin-ning to realize how much the “’90s kids” are willing to spend on reliving their childhoods.
I have no specific issue with ‘90s enter-tainment in general. In fact, I was a ‘90s music
defender for a good couple years as well. I was caught once or twice saying how much I wish I’d grown up in the ‘90s, when good music was still being made and artists like Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift weren’t dominating the airwaves.
Like many things I believed at 13-years-old, though, I was very wrong. Once I hit high school and found an intense passion for influential 2000s artists like The White Stripes, The Strokes, Muse and The Black Keys, I stopped pitching this blindly nostalgic mantra.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love music from the 1990s as much as anyone — I still get more excited than anyone when “Even Flow’s” opening riff comes on the radio. But blindly defending the decade as something greater than it actually is just puts down everyone else’s tastes in music. And there’s a lot of music out there worth fighting for.
This point goes for any decade or genre too. Sure, there’s a ton of great classic rock out there
(along with plenty of not-so-great classic rock), but attacking every other genre and decade as inherently inferior isn’t how anyone should be enjoying music.
I listen to new music much more than anything else. I wouldn’t argue that music today is neces-sarily better than any other time, but listening to new things happening in music as they’re happen-ing, is so much more satisfying to me than sticking to what I already know from the past.
Nickelodeon had some fun shows. Smash Mouth had some fun songs, sure. But it’s okay to let go of some of that nostalgia, too. Once you stop letting old stuff control your life like I did, maybe you’ll have a better time with new stuff.

liquid and the food shack is prepping for the lunch rush. Blair acts as the glue, running or driving (sometimes backwards) across the complex to check in with every group to make sure things are running smoothly before cus-tomers begin to pour in.
“The most stressful part of right now is the unexpected stuff, for me personally when and if something goes wrong that affects the cus-tomers, that’s the time to panic,” said Blair,
his face red with sweat beginning to slide from his forehead to his chin as the sun gets higher. “It’s a sheer numbers game. Some-times we are going to have an emergency; with the amount of people we expect, I expect at least one lost kid today.”
The main farm property is about 120 acres, which is a lot of land to get lost on, he added. When emergencies arise, the staff looks to him and he directs them on the next move.
He walks across the front of the building toward the 15-acre apple orchards, which pro-duce over 20 different kinds of apples. On his
way ,he waves to Windsor’s wife, Nancy, who is now watering the farm’s flowerbeds.
Nancy Abbott attributes the success of both her marriage and the farm to her strong Christian faith. The couple has been married for 59 years.
“It was 1943, and it was spring and the teacher plunked me right in front of Windsor and he was a pain,” said Nancy, her floppy red hat shading her eyes from the sun. “He took the erasers off my pencils and was just a nui-sance like that, but I liked it.”
She said her favorite parts of Windsor’s personality are his work ethic and compassion
for others. Families begin to arrive at 10 a.m., and by
noon, the place is packed. The farm is f lood-ed with people, long lines form all across the complex. A little girl pulls impatiently at her mother’s dress as the duo waits for food.
Parents hoist their children up to pluck apples off the taller branches. Two children run near the chicken coop, their parents close behind as Nancy Abbott looks on.
“Families are my favorite part,” she said. “I love talking to all these different people.”

Professor Bob Halligan Jr. is a songwriter who’s worked with some of the biggest rock stars in the country including Kiss, Judas Priest and Blue Oyster Cult.
Halligan, a professor in the Bandier program and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Com-munications at Syracuse University, has been writing songs for 47 years and playing piano and guitar since he was a child.
When Halligan completed his senior year at Hamilton College, he was under the impression that he would be getting a “real job” that involved wearing a suit and tie.
He had no plans to be a musician, though, until a band member from his group at the time asked him if he wanted to.
“Sometimes, an outside person sees you more clearly than you do,” Halligan said. “His saying that to me made me realize that music was all I cared about.”
Music is what got Halligan through his high school and his college years, he said. During his adolescence, Halligan’s main influence in his family was his cousin, Dick Halligan, who was a founding member of the famous psychedelic rock band Blood, Sweat and Tears.
“Writing music was a social lubricant,” Halligan said. “It was a way of having more of a life than I could have had as a skinny, acne-faced, nervous teenager.”
Halligan grew up worshipping The Beatles, Stevie Wonder and The Rolling Stones. He said he spent a lot of his time listening to all styles of music on the radio.
Doing this encouraged him not to invest all his time into one genre. He said he loves everyone from Aaron Copland to Mumford & Sons.
The songwriter has gone full circle as he was raised in Syracuse and is back here to teach. In between that time, Halligan lived in Nashville and the greater New York City area for 20 years to develop his music career.
Halligan has been an SU employee for eight and
a half years, and has been involved with Bandier since its launch in 2008. He teaches a wide variety of music-related classes such as songwriting, music business and music underscoring.
When Halligan is not teaching, he’s either producing records or is serving as the frontman of his celtic rock/pop band, Ceili Rain. Halligan is the only original member of his 20-year-old group, but his other five band mates have been in Ceili Rain for the past six years.
Ceili Rain has released nine studio albums and one live album. Halligan has released two solo albums in the early 90s.
The band focuses on producing Christian-influ-enced messages through their material.
Halligan was given the opportunity to perform Ceili Rain’s song “Stomp” for 60,000 people in Italy at a Papal event this past June. It was here that he was fortunate enough to meet his idol, Pope Francis.
“People always ask me where the pope stands on my list of people I’d like to meet, and I said he was the list,” he said.
He cried uncontrollably for about four min-utes, he added.
Pope Francis is not the only celebrity that Halligan has been able to interact with. He has performed and recorded with famous artists such as Billy Joel, Joan Jett and Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers.
Combining his experiences in the music industry into his Bandier curriculum is no problem for Halligan.
“In songwriting class, it’s easy,” he said. “If the student plays something that he or she wrote, I can play it back for them on the spot and show them what they need to change.”
Most recently, Halligan has written songs for The Sonics’ and Sam Butler’s latest albums.
Halligan encourages people who are interest-ed in entering the performing or music industry to go for it.
“Do what you love,” Halligan said. “Work on the things you care about or you won’t do well because you won’t care about what you’re doing.”

colgateMiller easily headed away a chipped-
through ball in a one-on-one opportunity on the Raiders’ first offensive possession. Pasanen, a midfielder, missed an oncoming Colgate attacker with a jab of his leg, leaving CU midfielder Jared Stroud open near the back of the penalty area. But Robinson bodied the forward enough to force the ball out of bounds past the goal line as Stroud waved his hands up and down in the air.
The Raiders most dangerous chances came on corners and free kicks, but SU defenders
were always there to knock the ball away. Each of CU’s seven corners and at least four free kicks were launched into the box.
Even one of the throw-ins that Colgate man-aged in SU’s defensive half was heaved into the box, only to be knocked away.
“We just did a good job of defending the first ball, the second ball and protecting our
goalkeeper,” Miller said. By Aviza’s estimation, his defenders won every ball in the air.
Aviza has grown more vocal as the season has carried on, he and his teammates said, which involves positioning the defenders in front of him on restarts. He cupped his hands on each set piece to communicate with his defense and even tugged at some of their jer-seys to get them in the right spot.
When the Orange defense knocked away two consecutive Colgate corner attempts with less than four minutes left, Aviza said nothing, however; he just clapped.
Colgate’s last attempt came on a free kick from 45 yards out to the right of the net with
just a few minutes left in the game. The ball sailed high in the air, curving left, but Aviza rose through a crowd to punch the ball away.
Even in SU’s first shutout of the year against Bucknell on Aug. 30, Aviza had to make eight saves. But in the last two games — the only other shutouts — he’s touched the ball most on goal kicks and never to stop a shot on net.
“We’re really stepping up and becoming more cohesive as a defensive unit,” Miller said. “It’s clearly showing with the stats that we’ve achieved in the last two games and I think it’s only going to keep getting better.”
back line.Pongetti said she doesn’t view the mask
as an impediment, but rather as motivation. She finds comfort in the protection it offers, a tangible reminder to be fearless on the field.
“If I was going to be fearful of heading the ball then there’s no reason of me being on the field,” she said. “I had a mask to protect me and I have to trust that, and I have to just play my game whether it’s broken or not.”
Pongetti wore a generic mask off the shelf when she first suffered her injury, but it was thick and impeded her vision.
The padding underneath the eyes prevented Pongetti from seeing just 5 to 6 yards in front of her.
The plastic frame would dig into her when she turned her head and her difficulty breath-ing was amplified.
Still, Pongetti stuck with it for what she said were the first five or six games of Syracuse’s
season. She now dons a slimmer mask minus the padding. It’s custom made from a full plas-ter mold of her face.
When the doctors originally showed her what it would look like, they brought up for-mer-NBA player Richard Hamilton, who wore a similar mask the majority of his career after suffering multiple nose injuries.
“It’s easier for her to pick up the speed of play,” Wheddon said. “It was much more diffi-cult when she originally broke her nose.”
Pongetti will wear the mask the rest of this season and most likely next year as well. Get-ting hit again is “not an option.”
And while she’s in a different position than she expected to be in at this point in the sea-son, Pongetti is making sure to take the situa-tion in stride.
“I came into this season wanting to make an impact on this team and make a difference,” she said. “Having a broken nose wasn’t in the plan but I wasn’t about to let that plan kind of slip away.”

HAMILTON, N.Y. — Oyvind Alseth boomed a back-post cross from about 40 yards away to Chris Nanco, who was running to the back post. The shifty forward blasted the ball into the goalie’s chest on one bounce and weakly chipped the rebound over the goalie, who was laying on the slick turf.
“I think we’re going to have to work on that because I think it was a great cross,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said of Alseth not getting an assist for the service. “… I thought it was a wonderful cross that Chris (Nanco) got on the end of.”
But on the sideline, Korab Syla had just finished being talked to by McIntyre. For the second straight game he was pulled from the game for freshman Andreas Jenssen, pushing Alseth from the central midfield out on the right wing.
The substitution allowed Alseth to cross in services, the very first garnering the game’s winning goal. Another Ben Polk goal helped SU (6-2-1, 1-1-1 Atlantic Coast) put away Colgate (4-3-1, 1-0 Patriot) at Beyer-Small ’76 Field on Tuesday night.
“It was just when we were just starting to kind of build a little bit of momentum in the game,” McIntyre said, “so it was an important goal for us.”
When Alseth moved out wide, he gave SU
“better quality,” McIntyre said. Aside from the goal, McIntyre pointed out when the midfielder crossed a ball on a corner to the near post for Noah Rhynhart. The forward ran to the post, jumping to smack the ball out of the air. Instead, a Colgate player barely saved the cross, diving and heading it over the endline.
Normally Syla provides pace down the right side of the field, but McIntyre said that even Syla would admit his play in SU’s most recent game against Pittsburgh and the start against Colgate wasn’t his best. Subbing in Jenssen again gave Alseth the chance to play out wide and send services Syla hadn’t been able to.
“Nanco did a really good job. It was a deep cross, it was an early cross, it was a lot of ground he had to cover to get there,” Polk said. “… With Oyvind, you’ve just got to gamble. You know it’s a good service. Get in and run into the 6-yard box and that’s where you score your goals.”
McIntyre yanked Syla 30 minutes into the Orange’s last game against Pittsburgh, but it only took 22 minutes against Colgate. When Syla came off the field, he sat next to McIntyre to the left of the bench. McIntyre told the mid-fielder to stay positive and play with confidence.
By the time Nanco knocked in the first goal of the game just less than two minutes later, Syla was sitting among teammates, who were wearing puffy blue jackets emblazoned with a block “S,” with a towel around his neck and
his uniform on.Syla, who eventually dressed in his blue
jacket while waiting on the bench, stripped off the warm clothing and entered with just over 15 minutes left in the game, about the same time he reentered the Pittsburgh game.
“I guess just be more aggressive as I’ve been basically all season,” Syla said. “… Be danger-ous, get crosses in, get shots.”
For insurance, midfielder Julian Buescher headed the ball down to midfielder Juuso
Pasanen with 12 minutes left. Polk, who was coming off a hat trick against Pittsburgh, inter-cepted Pasanen’s shot from the top of the box and pounded the ball into the bottom right side of the net.
Colgate goalie Ricky Brown hardly moved.“We did enough to win the game,” McIntyre
said. “… If you don’t take that chance from Chris, there’s very thin margins of winning and losing.”

Dallas Haskins was given a choice by his par-ents to stay at home or go to college in the United States.
Born and raised in Hong Kong after his parents moved there a year before he was born, Haskins, like many children in the area, played rugby.
He could have played on the U-20 national team for the sixth year in a row to represent his country at the Chinese National Show-case. Instead he attended Syracuse to con-tinue his rugby career at the club level.
While many of Syracuse’s players started playing ruby at age 14 or 15, head coach Bob Wilson said, Haskins has the added benefit of an additional decade of experience.
“I had the opportunity to go to U-20s but I chose to go to university instead,” Haskins said. “I wanted to work afterward, and also a huge push from my parents.”
Haskins moved to Syracuse right before the start of the fall semester. In Hong Kong, the sport was much more prominent. Haskins remembers playing in big stadiums.
Haskins began playing at a more elite level of rugby at a young age in China. He joined Hong Kong’s Valley Fort Rugby Club. He got the chance to try out for the Hong Kong national team and made it — five times. From age 14, Haskins has represented Hong Kong at the national sevens showcase, on the U-14,
U-15, U-16, U-18, and U-19 teams.“Rugby is a lot bigger sport than football,
basketball, so you would have a lot of people at your games,” Haskins said.
Haskins could have kept playing rugby at an elite level, but he moved nearly 8,000 miles away. He said his parents gave him a choice, but wanted him to get a degree and get a job .
He liked the Martin J. Whitman School of Management and its prestige, but he also liked the quality of the rugby program.
For Wilson, Haskins represented a unique addition to the team.
“Most of the United States players haven’t been playing (competitively) since they were 8,” Wilson said.
Wilson gave the freshman the chance to start, saying that he’s got the experience and athlet-icism and has fit in well, something he said is uncommon for someone so new to the team.
As an inside center, Haskins plays next to sophomore outside center Eddie McCarthy, who is impressed with Haskins’ immediate contribution to this Orange squad.
He’s got the starting spot and the praise of his teammates, but Haskins remains hum-ble, and hopes to keep contributing to the team’s solid start.
“It’s a huge thing to start freshman year,” Haskins said, “so I think I’m trying to bring as much as possible to the team and put in as much effort as I can.”

HAMILTON, N.Y. — Zeroes ticked across the scoreboard at Beyer-Small ’76 Field and
only one set of LED lights lay dor-mant — the shots under Colgate’s side of the board.
Syracuse goalkeeper Austin Aviza exited the penalty area and imme-diately sought out defender Kamal Miller standing near midfield to shake his hand and give him a hug. Aviza made his way to defenders
Louis Cross and Miles Robinson amid the pouring rain to do the same.
“I just throw them a lot of credit,” Aviza said. “They’ve been excellent these past few games so it just makes my life 10 times easier.”
For the second game in a row, the back line of Cross, Robinson and Miller kept SU’s opponent from registering a shot on goal. Colgate managed eight shots, but the only ball Aviza had to make a play on was a cross that he punched away late in the game. The clean sheet helped the Orange (6-2-1, 1-1-1 Atlantic
Coast Conference) to a 2-0 win over the Raiders (4-3-1, 1-0 Patriot) on
Tuesday night.“They put us under some pres-
sure,” head coach Ian McIntyre said. “They put a lot of balls in the box. They’ve got some size in the back that came forward on restarts and I thought defensively Louis, Miles, Kamal — and Juuso (Pasanen) in front — played very well.”
Colgate tried to push the ball toward the middle from the start of the game, but the Orange was able to thwart each attempt coming in the run of play.

Former Class of 2015 five-star tight end Chris Clark will take an official visit to Syracuse, though he doesn’t know when, he confirmed to The Daily Orange on Tuesday. He was ranked as the No. 1 tight end in the 2015 class by both Rivals.com and Scout.
After just one game this season with UCLA, he left the team due to homesickness, according to Scout. Syracuse was the first school to offer him a scholarship when he was at Don Bosco (New Jersey) Prep and he already has relation-ships with players on SU’s current roster, per Scout.
SU freshman safety Daivon Ellison and walk-on freshman linebacker Kyle Kleinberg are both Don Bosco graduates.
The Orange currently has seven tight ends on its roster, including Josh Parris, Kendall Moore, Cameron MacPherson, Trey Dunkelberger, Tyler Provo, PJ Batten and Jacob Green.
Combined, that group has caught nine passes for 83 yards in Syracuse’s four games this season.
Clark also has visits sched-uled to Pittsburgh, North Caro-lina State and Virginia, accord-ing to Scout.

Rebecca Pongetti knows she looks like someone straight from a movie. On the field, her face is shielded by a plastic mask that’s fastened by thick black straps.
The playful comparisons are inevitable, and Pongetti has heard them all.
“Phantom of the Opera, Jason, Hannibal (Lecter), a transformer, Batman,” she said. “So it’s been a lot.”
Pongetti broke her nose about two weeks into the preseason, and now wears a custom mask for pro-tection. But despite an appearance reminiscent of a fiction character, the junior has embraced her mask as a confidence booster when it comes to contesting for balls in Syracuse’s
(4-7-1, 0-3 Atlantic Coast) midfield as a defensive stopper.
The incident occurred on a fairly routine drill in practice. Pongetti lined up in the defensive wall to block a free kick when the ball whizzed right into her face.
“She decided to stop the ball with her nose on a free kick,” SU head coach Phil Wheddon said jokingly. “It’s probably not a good idea.”
Even with the broken nose, Pongetti continued to train for the next few days before having a quick surgery. After a couple short days to recover, she was back on the field.
This season, Pongetti is playing more of a defensive-oriented role in SU’s midfield, a position Whed-don referred to as “the holding midfielder.”
“She hasn’t let it get to her at all,”
forward Stephanie Skilton said. “She kind of got hurt and broke her nose and then it was straight back into it within a couple days. The mask doesn’t faze her.”
Ironically, her job is to win balls in the midfield by contesting them in the air, often by jumping up and heading the ball away. She stands as the single line of defense before SU’s
