Police are unsure of the whereabouts of two suspects involved in a homi-cide on Hope Avenue Wednesday evening that left a 15-year-old male dead and a 17-year-old male injured from a gunshot to the leg.
The homicide happened at 148 Hope Ave, about two miles from campus, around 7:20 p.m, according to a release from the Syracuse Police Department. Lt. Eric Carr confirmed the suspects were not in custody as of 11:05 p.m. Wednesday.
The search for the shooters led police to Oakwood Cemetery on Comstock Avenue. A Syracuse Uni-versity Orange Alert was issued tell-ing students to stay indoors around 8:30 p.m. The campus lockdown
lasted just over two hours. A search for the suspects at Oakwood Ceme-tery was called off around 10:35 p.m.
The suspects fired several shots at a police car on Hope Avenue, but the police did not fire back, and the suspects then fled into Oakwood Cemetery, police said.
As officers were in pursuit of the suspects, more officers were dispatched to 148 Hope Ave. for the shooting that left a 15-year-old male dead and a 17-year-old male with a gunshot wound to his leg, accord-ing to the release. The 15-year-old was found on the rear porch of the residence, and the 17-year-old was transferred to Upstate University Hospital where he received treat-ment for non life-threatening inju-ries, according to the release.
Police blocked off the area of Hope Avenue between West Colvin Street and Warner Avenue. About

As I was scanning the numerous shelves of six-packs at Tops this past week trying to find a beer to try, my eyes were drawn to a strange silver box that seemed almost out of place. This small, silver box of beer was situated among the various six-packs from Saranac, and upon closer inspection turned out to be Saranac Disruption Nitro.
A menacing black bear and the word “Nitro,” stamped in red as if to signify danger, were all that graced the packaging. Needless to say my interest was piqued, and I promptly purchased the beer.
Because I was unfamiliar with this beer from Saranac, I decided to do some research on the brewery’s website. Here I discovered that the Disruption Nitro had one batch brewed and the brewery had no intention of brewing it again.
The Disruption Nitro is a brown ale infused with nitrogen, which creates smaller carbonation bub-bles, leading to a smoother, creamier beer. The box instructed me to pour the beer straight down the center of the glass and “gaze at the beautiful nitro rise to the beer’s surface.” The
beer came out of the can a muddy brown color, but faded to black as the bubbles rose to the surface.
The beer smelled of chocolate and coffee, and a foamy head topped the opaque liquid. True to the description, the Disruption Nitro had a smooth tex-ture that was more like chocolate milk than beer and left an enjoyable, sweet aftertaste. The added nitrogen not only made for a creamier finish, but also accentuated the sweet malty character

of the grains for a greater depth in the bouquet of flavors.
With an ABV of 7 percent, and cans holding 15.4 ounces of beer rather than the traditional 12, the Disrup-tion Nitro packs a punch. As Saranac puts it, “this is wild trapped in a can.” If you’re looking for a hearty beer drinking experience, go out and grab yourself a pack of the Disruption Nitro while you still have time.
In an Oct. 14 article titled “’(In)Justice For All’ should include more diversity of opinions,” the column incorrectly stated the focus of the panel. The panel is focused on discussions about injustice and how acts of violence affect communities. In addition, a quote from Nina Rodgers was not printed in full context. The Daily Orange regrets these errors.

Hearing for fraternity members postponedBy Justin Mattinglynews editor
The hearing for a case involving the two former Syracuse University students charged with hazing was postponed until mid-November because one of the students’ attor-neys got into an accident.
Jeffrey Yam and Tae Kim, both no longer enrolled at SU, were arrested and charged with hazing
in the first degree, a misdemeanor, in March. They pleaded not guilty. A hearing for the case was orig-inally scheduled for Wednesday, but a city judge decided to delay the hearing until Nov. 16.
Kim and his attorney, Jim Hopkins, were present in court Wednesday for the appearance that lasted about 30 minutes. Yam’s attorney, Jennifer McCann, was in an accident. Kim and Yam are co-defendants in the case.

Community gets tickets for ‘(In)Justice’ discussion By Alexa Torrensasst. news editor
Junior writing major Phelicia Ball said it is important for people to become educated about the fact that we live in a society where racism is embedded into everything — includ-ing educational systems and the police force.
Ball said hearing from the mothers of Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown, two unarmed black males who were fatally shot by a neighborhood watch coordinator and a police officer, respectively, could shed light on police brutality in the United States.
Lesley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, and Sybrina Fulton,
the mother of Trayvon Martin, will participate in a panel discussion entitled “(In)Justice For All” on Oct. 28 in Goldstein Auditorium.
Free tickets for the discussion were available to Syracuse Univer-sity and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students, faculty and staff on Wednesday at 9 a.m. in Gold-stein Auditorium. More than 25 stu-dents, including Ball, were waiting for the tickets minutes before they went on sale.
There were still tickets available as of 4:55 p.m. on Wednesday. The Schine Box Office closed at 5 p.m.

60 residents of the community stood in groups. The common topic of conversation among those standing outside was the age of the victims.
Some community members were crying and embracing. One woman who appeared to be hav-ing a panic attack would not accept help or con-solation from bystanders. Community members approached her, but she thrashed away. A police officer walked over and mediated the incident. About a dozen police officers were on the scene, with most wearing Gang Task Force vests.
“It’s too damn sad, too damn sad. It’s a shame, we didn’t raise our kids like this,” said one Syracuse woman on the scene. “We as people can’t be like this.”
Desmont Tillie, a 28-year-old Syracuse resi-dent, said he has seen incidents like this occur too many times, and added that he feels sorry for the parents that have to go through things like this.
“I’ve watched this too many times and there ain’t really too much to dwell on,” Tillie said. “You know certain of these kids and you tell them to be safe constantly and constantly.
Syracuse police had previously confirmed there was at least one armed person near campus. In response, SUNY-ESF’s Centennial Hall was put on
lockdown and SU’s campus was put on “shelter-in-place,” meaning people were to remain inside.
A helicopter was seen hovering above the cemetery around 8 p.m. and dozens of police officers were stationed along Comstock Ave-nue, including state police.
An Orange Alert was sent to SU and SUNY-ESF students around 8:30 p.m. via text mes-sage and phone. SU proceeded to send two additional Orange Alerts around 9 and 10 p.m.
The alert read: “SPD investigating crime off campus, shelter in place. Remain in doors, don’t let anyone in, stay out of Oakwood Ceme-tery, report suspicious activity.”
During the lockdown, students in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications were moved to classes toward the inside of the building and the Joyce Hergenhan Audito-rium. Students in Flint Hall were told to turn their lights off. Students in Bird Library were asked not to leave the building until further notice. Members of Otto’s Army that were attending a meeting for the organization were told to remain in Maxwell Hall.
An Orange Alert was sent out just after 10:30 p.m. notifying the campus community that the lockdown had been lifted and it was safe to return to normal activity.

of the construction. As a ceremonial end to the construction, commemorative pavers were laid in front of Fayette Firefighters Park.
Construction of the Connective Corridor, which is a partnership between Syracuse University, the city and Onondaga County, included bike lanes and the development of a bus line connecting downtown with the Uni-versity Hill area. The project also included the development of an initiative that collects water to help alleviate storm water runoff.
“From its inception, the Connective Corri-dor offered a vision for all revitalization ini-tiatives to follow: connecting neighborhoods to foster an economic and cultural revival throughout the city of Syracuse,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in a press release. “Linking University Hill and Downtown Syracuse has already enhanced the flow of people and ideas between the two areas and I have no doubt that will continue now that the project is complete.”
The Connective Corridor was one of for-mer SU Chancellor Nancy Cantor’s major ini-tiatives when she was chancellor from 2004 to 2013. Cantor proposed the $47 million project in 2005. Current Chancellor Kent Syverud has cited a continued commitment
to the Connective Corridor.Funding for the project came from a vari-
ety of sources, including $10 million from the grant program Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant, which Schumer helped get, and $20 million secured from New York state by Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli (D-Syracuse).
More than 1,320 students and 76 faculty members have been involved in the Connective Corridor, Interim Vice Chancellor and Provost Liz Liddy said on Wednesday.
“The corridor has been a living lab where students gain real-world experience, produce portfolio work and make connections that fos-ter more engaged alumni who are more likely to become community and global leaders,” Liddy said.
The corridor had more than 187,000 riders last year, according to a press release from Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner’s office.
“What the Connective Corridor demon-strates is that infrastructure begets growth and that our economy will thrive when we make investments in our future,” Miner said in the release.
The ceremony marked the conclusion of phases one and two of the project. Phase three includes projects along the Civic Strip, which will include a major lighting project.

duties properly.” Pledges were dressed in sweatshirts, pants, boots and no gloves. The incident caused the victim severe pain in both hands and he was treated for severe frostbite at Crouse Hospital, police said in March.
Nu Alpha Phi was suspended from the uni-versity. The fraternity is still listed on the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs website.
A preliminary trial date for the case has been set for Dec. 15, but prosecutor Peter Hakes had some objections to the date. A wit-
ness in the case is currently studying abroad in Spain and isn’t scheduled to return to the U.S. until that date and not scheduled to return to Syracuse until Jan. 12, 2016, he said.
City Court Judge Theodore Limpert asked about the possibility of the witness coming to Syracuse the day after the trial is scheduled to start. Hakes said he would look into it.
After Hopkins, Hakes and Limpert discussed further dates for the case, the three called McCann, who said she was OK with the dates set.
It is unclear what exactly the accident was that made McCann unable to attend the hearing.

A sophomore at Furman Uni-versity has created a pro-gram for students looking to spend some more quality
time with grandma.“I was really missing my grandma,
and I wanted to reconnect with people in that age community,” said Christina Sturgeon, a sophomore philosophy and psychology major.
Furman University Student Exchanges (FUSE) allows about 30 students to “adopt” a resident of the Woodlands Retirement Community, an assisted liv-ing center located on the outskirts of the Greenville, South Carolina campus.
At the program’s helm is Sturgeon, who began FUSE last fall with the Heller Service Court, Furman’s on-campus community service agency.
Heller Service Court connects students interested in community service to more than 50 needy companies, businesses and firms in the Greenville area. One of those 50 is the Woodlands Retirement Community, another integral piece of the FUSE machine. It is from the Woodlands’ population of elderly folks that Furman students get to “adopt,” Sturgeon said.
Heller has worked with the Woodlands Retirement Community, but not in ways as interactive as FUSE has allowed, he said.
Blake Reed, the junior student direc-tor of the Heller Center, said he was blown away by the onset by Sturgeon’s passion for the project’s implementation.
“I don’t think we realized how excited she was and how much of a vision she had, because she’s turned the Woodlands project into something huge,” said Reed.
There are two types of students that apply to be a part of the FUSE program, said Sturgeon: those who are close to their
grandparents and want to fill the void while away at college, and those who may not have grandparents anymore and want to foster a new relationship.
“Especially at this particular retirement center, a lot of the residents are very active and are really eager to interact with the stu-dents,” she said.
To ensure adopted grandchildren are attentive toward their adopted grandparents (and vice versa), Sturgeon said she created an application process that both students and the Woodlands residents must complete.
“A lot of people think it’s a cool idea, but it’s really easy for students to be overin-volved and not hold up their end, which isn’t fair to the grandparents,” Sturgeon said.
After applications are completed, stu-dents are matched with their respective grandmas and grandpas based on com-mon academic and extracurricular inter-ests. This way, hopefully the students in their early 20s can connect with the
residents in their 70s and 80s — despite the age gap, Sturgeon said.
For Dallas and Leona Seiler, residents at the Woodlands and participants in the FUSE program, there was no issue hitting it off with their adopted “granddaughters.”
“We think that the girls have been able to relate to us and share problems with us,” Leona said. “We play cards, take them out to lunch and sometimes take them to dinner here. We just try and have a good time with them.”
On most days, residents and students create their own activity schedules. But, four times a year, FUSE organizes planned events, which include student or resident speed dating, a snowball dance at the uni-versity, a Mardi Gras party and an end of the year picnic, Sturgeon said.
And the Woodlands residents love it.“We like to do things with younger
people — it keeps us young,” Leona [email protected]

SU students work to reduce youth violence in city of SyracuseBy Rob Romanostaff writer
Shaylah Nichols remembers when her mentor-ship workshop group asked a group of eighth graders whether they knew someone who died from gang violence.
Every child raised their hand.Nichols, a sophomore biology major at Syr-
acuse University, did mentorship work in the Syracuse City School District and is now the campaign manager for the Syracuse Youth Development Council, a group of student orga-nizations dedicated to helping youth in the city of Syracuse. Nichols said she wants to use the uni-versity to raise awareness and she does not want
the next generation to be telling stories like this.“I want to try and get as many people on cam-
pus involved as actively as possible,” she said.The SYDC is partnering with the Residence
Hall Association to host “Youth Violence: Voices of the Syracuse City School District” on Friday at 5 p.m. in the Maxwell Auditorium. The event will begin with a speech from SU student Nieshia Hill, a graduate of the city schools, about her experiences with violence.
“Living in Syracuse, or any other inner city for that matter, is like a battle zone for its youth. From deaths to sexual assault, random morning searches and the added pressures of adolescenthood, stu-dents face these struggles and the repercussions associated with them,” Hill said in an email.
The event will also include a panel discus-sion comprised of teachers in the SCSD. Neha Rauf, co-president of the SYDC and a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, played a role in getting the teachers to the event.
“We decided who better to talk about youth vio-lence than people from the community, especially the counselors and administrators,” Rauf said.
There will be five teachers serving on the panel, Rauf said. After the panel, there will be a discussion about what role college students can play in creating solutions for youth violence.
Student organizations such as Merging Expression and Scholarship through High Schools (MESH), Project G.R.IN.D., Straighten Your Crown, JUMP Nation and other student groups, will be present at the event, said Rachel Brown-Weinstock, co-president of the SYDC.
“We want to get the most people together that want to improve youth lives to provide this cohesive effort,” she added.
At the end of the event, students will have the opportunity to sign up as mentors in the city schools. College students are easier to relate to because they bring a different perspective from the
teachers who work with the kids, Weinstock said.“Sometimes it’s harder to relate to that
hierarchy status of ‘I’m an adult and you’re a child,’” Weinstock said.
The event is aimed at kicking off a yearlong campaign on youth violence in the Syracuse com-munity. Later this year, members of the council will go into residence halls and talk about youth violence, and on Nov. 19, the council will show a documentary of its work in the community.
The documentary will include interviews with students at Syracuse’s Expeditionary Learning Middle School’s Peace Day and the CEO of the Good Life Philanthropic Youth Foun-dation, which provides mentors for youth who are at risk of being incarcerated, Weinstock said.
Weinstock said as mentors, SU students could help represent what college could offer them because college students have a unique perspective to inspire kids.
“We are not experts on youth violence, but we are experts in our own experiences as college students and the pathway to get to college,” she said.
Nichols, the campaign manager for SYDC, said both SU students and children in the city schools benefit from the volunteerism.
“It’s very inspiring to watch these kids grow and know that you are playing a part in that,” she said.
Fota Sall, vice president of the SYDC, said she hopes the event makes students realize they can change a child’s life, and get students involved in the community.
“I hope that they are able to realize that this issue is real, not just something that you hear about,” Sall said.
from them personally since it is a lived experi-ence,” Ball said. “And I think that because it’s not as affluent in the media, a lot of people don’t even actually know about it.”
Ball recalled a class in which her profes-sor asked who heard about the death of Mike Brown, and one student did not raise her hand, which Ball said she thought was odd.
“I think a lot of people don’t know what it entails for all of us. It affects every single one of us in terms of — I would say that a lot of people don’t know that race is so embedded in differ-ent institutions that affect all of us, so I think it’s just really important,” Ball said.
The panel, which is sponsored by the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) of SU, will mark the first time McSpadden and Fulton have taken part in such an event, according to an SU News release. The NPHC is a council made up of nine historically black Greek life organizations.
The panel will also feature National Bar Association President Benjamin Crump, CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin, CNN news anchor Fredricka Whitfield and Department of Pub-lic Safety Chief Bobby Maldonado, according to the release.
DPS started a trial program for the use of body cameras last year following the death of Mike Brown under the leadership of then-Chief Tony Callisto. Every armed public safety officer at SU began wearing body cameras on Oct. 1.
Maldonado said the program will help foster good relations between DPS and the SU com-munity, especially in light of events that have
sparked controversy amongst law enforcement and the public.
Ball said she thinks DPS’s body camera pro-gram is a good idea because a lot of police are simply getting suspended rather than getting in bigger trouble for controversial encounters with civilians. She added that having a video to serve as evidence for a police encounter could help the situation, even though in past situa-tions the videos have not really done anything in cases against officers.
Ball said it is important to understand that we live in a society that is upheld through white supremacy, she said, and race is embedded into a lot of institutions, even if some people do not see it face-to-face.
“Even if you’re not a person of color, it still affects our community as a whole because as a society, we all have to work together and come together no matter what our race is and under-stand the effects of police brutality on colored people,” Ball said.

Schine Student Center needs renovationsscribble
Lackluster SchineDoes the Schine Student Center need to be renovated to become more inviting for students? Share your thoughts on the online poll. See dailyorange.com
As it stands now, the Schine Student Center simply doesn’t feel like a student center. The building is outdated, lacks a central student lounge space and is awkwardly bro-ken up into isolated sections. In order to improve the student experience, Syracuse University should move forward with ren-ovations to expand the building vertically, incorporate a central student lounge space and ultimately modernize the center. Although the university is cur-rently in a transitional phase under the Campus Master Plan, in which the Schine Student Center is one of the main buildings on campus being considered for renovations, it must be a long-term priority for SU to reno-vate the student center and incorpo-rate more recreational spaces, study
lounges and an expanded dining area. While Schine serves its funda-mental purpose as a student center, the infrastructure and enclosed layout of the building create an uninviting atmosphere for cur-rent students. With proposals to upgrade the Schine Student Center by “building upwards,” the uni-versity should aim to make Schine more like the Goldstein Student Center on South Campus, where open spaces are a main component in the layout of the building. As Schine fails to engage current students, SU must also consider that the student center is often prospec-tive students’ first impression of the university. Upgrading the center to include modern furnishings, util-ities and a more welcoming layout would be a transformative move in
creating a uniting hub on campus that would be more appealing to those visiting SU. The Student Association is look-ing to improve the Schine Student Center with small-scale additions, including adding a kiosk in the main foyer and a magazine rack for student publications, said SA President Aysha Seedat. However, it is large-scale structural change that will ultimately give Schine the improvements it needs to function as a successful space for students. Most students don’t go to Schine unless they have a specific destination in mind, such as the bookstore or dining center. But with proper renovation, the center can be restored as a central space on campus that is inviting to enrolled and prospective students alike.
Climate change is a human-induced, environ-mental force that dispropor-
tionately impacts developing coun-tries that have little responsibility for its existence. The 2015 climate change confer-ence in Paris will attempt to finalize developed countries’ commitment of providing $100 billion per year in cli-mate finance to developing countries by 2020. Although this effort can be seen as positive, the politics of foreign aid oftentimes diminishes its actual effectiveness, and can potentially harm developing nations long-term. Aid operations, historically, stem from colonial roots. Between 1940-1960, European colonizers’ physical presence slowly dissipated, replaced by international organiza-tions meant to improve governance from afar, predominantly through financing. While supranational
institutions including the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and United Nations certainly do a lot of good, it is appropriate to be wary of their power and its potential for abuse. Countries receiving loans often have a hard time paying the money back. In this, and most similar situations, the receiving countries prefer grants, while the lenders prefer loans. “Interest rates on development loans vary depending on how they are structured, conditionalities attached, and the institutions involved,” said Farhana Sultana, an associate pro-fessor of geography at Syracuse Uni-versity. “However, development aid
compounds over time and often crip-ples the ability of a country to repay its original debt because the interest has become considerably larger than the original principal amount of the debt.” Sultana continued, “In many instances historically, countries have actually repaid the debt many times over but the interest keeps them in what is called the debt trap.” Debt traps render forward progress for the recipients futile and result in only one positive: the profit margins of those already in power. The details for the yearly $100 billion in climate relief are still unknown. This is something worth keeping an eye on, and, when released, must be analyzed critically. In the context of the 2015 climate summit, understanding the basics of development studies is imperative. Scholarship of development studies is rife with debate, but one argument is
particularly difficult to ignore. This is that, without an intersectional under-standing of the social and political nuances and complexities of an area, any monetary aid will fall short of its potential to help, and may maintain existing unjust structures of power. “There’s a difference between allocating and using development aid on paper and actually doing so in meaningful and useful ways that help people,” Sultana explained. For example, poor countries need financial resources to protect themselves against worsening, severe weather, but foreign capital tends to favor funding potentially profitable renewable energy deals. This is an instance of top-down aid policies which look impressive at face value, but when analyzed through a critical lens, are more about benefiting the donors than those in need of assistance.
There are currently no concrete answers as to how this $100 billion in aid will be implemented. In a little over a month, this should change and, when it does, it will be vital to review carefully. Interest rates, condition-alities and means for participatory inclusion are three important areas to keep an eye on. So yes, $100 billion per year in climate finance sounds great, but its grandiose must not distract from its accompanying complexities, which, if developed countries are serious about making amends for the predicament they’ve put the rest of the world in, must be understood and acted upon intersectionally.

AZOR COLEDARE TO BE A FORCE OF NATURE
By Audrey O’Donnell contributing writer
Syracuse University professor Lori Brown is working to change the culture of women in the architecture industry by editing Wikipe-dia articles.
As a co-leader of ArchiteXX, a female architecture group in New York, she is work-ing with several collaborations to organize a world-wide effort to write more women into Wikipedia through multiple edit-a-thons, one of which is taking place Oct. 15 at the Guggen-heim Museum in New York City. The archi-
tecture professor said there is a huge gender imbalance within the world of Wikipedia, whether it be the writing, editing or simply the within the content matter of the website.
The edit-a-thon was designed with the intention of establishing credibility and a greater presence of women throughout Wiki-pedia, both within the field of architecture and beyond. Brown spoke with The Daily Orange to talk about the edit-a-thon, her life as an architect and women in architecture.
The Daily Orange: What makes Wikipedia a good place to start changing the way people
think about women? Lori Brown: Wikipedia is such a resource, and although we never cite from it, it is the first go-to that everyone uses, so it is very impera-tive that we add more women in. I really had no idea how few women are in there. The D.O.: In your career as a female architect, have you experienced bias? L.B.: Of course. I won’t say so much in the office, but when on job sites as a junior archi-tect there were times where contractors or construction workers wouldn’t take me as seriously. Even when I was working for a female architect, she had to go into projects
with a certain attitude in order for them to take her seriously.The D.O.: Would you say there is a lack of women in the field of architecture as a whole?L.B.: At the upper levels and as licensed architects, yes, there is a lack of female pres-ence. There is almost gender parody among our students, but our faculty has a long way to go. Once students graduate and work toward their license, there are far less women that are licensed than men. This is a real concern; women opt out for a number of reasons and at a much higher rate than men.

In the world of today’s young professionals, the workday starts right when they wake up and ends with an 11 p.m. email. In between, they move nonstop.
Jess Garbarino understands this and is working to create clothing options for this non-stop generation.
Garbarino is a Syracuse University alumna and the co-founder of Bruns-wick Park, a performance apparel startup out of Boston. Recently, she and her team launched their first Kickstarter campaign. It started at 3 p.m. on Sept. 30 with a goal of $25,000. By 8:30 p.m., it was fully funded.
“I was so excited, so impatient. There’s always delays,” Garbarino said about officially launching the Kickstarter page. “I couldn’t wait to get it out there, but I was scared because it’s like baring your soul.”
With 24 days left to go as of Thursday afternoon, the campaign has raised more than $59,000 as of Wednesday night.
For Garbarino, there was a lot on the line with this launch. She quit her job in public relations in August 2014 to pursue her dream of creating a startup.
“It was the most terrifying and isolating thing I’d ever done,” Garbarino said. “I was throwing all the benefits and a salary away. It was scary but so exciting.”
She was planning to start an online boutique, which she worked on for a couple months.
But very quickly, she realized that the markups on the clothes she wanted to sell were astronomical, sometimes as much as triple what consumers should be paying. Garbarino decided that she didn’t feel comfortable selling clothes to consumers with that retail model.
That was when she decided to go directly to consumers with her own line of outerwear. Currently, Brunswick Park includes a bomber and collarless jacket for women and a hoodie and blazer for men.
Garbarino said the holes in her own closet inspired her to create the line. She wanted something that fit her active, go-getter lifestyle but something that

The D.O: Do you think this Wikipedia edit-a-thon project will perpetuate change in the right direction?L.B.:I would love to hope that it would, but if it can just put more information out there about
women architects that would be a huge public service, not only to our discipline but to the general public as a whole. The D.O: What is the most exciting aspect of the Wikipedia edit-a-thon?L.B.: The edit-a-thon has really excited a num-ber of ages, which has been great. It introduces the idea of writing history differently, and to
have one gender that hasn’t been as well repre-sented begin to be more represented is such an important thing to be participating in. The D.O.: What are some things that you love about the field of architecture?L.B.: To be able to positively impact the built envi-ronment is a pretty powerful thing. In general, the built environment in the United States isn’t that
great compared to other countries, but I think that’s a really critical part of our daily lives — to not necessarily only design it, but to think about it and write about it and to be critical about it. To try to intervene and change things for the betterment for all is a pretty lofty and important thing to be doing, so that’s a huge motivation for me.

looked professional enough to wear to work.“Our audience is the millennial, entrepreneur-
ial, startup crowd,” she said. “They have the cra-ziest days, they are the go-getters and they need pieces that will get them through the day.”
After conceptualizing her line, Garbarino knew she needed to bring in the right team of people. At the suggestion of her husband, Chase Garbarino, who is the founder of a few of his own startups, she got in touch with Alex Weaver.
Weaver’s full-time job remains as the man-aging editor of BostInno, a faction of Garbari-no’s husband’s first startup, which is a digital media platform that focuses its content in the entrepreneurial and startup space.
As a reporter, Weaver covered many retail startups, particularly for men’s fashion. He said his strong opinions on menswear were one of the reasons Garbarino chose him as a partner in November 2014. Together, Weaver handles the men’s line and Garbarino deals with the women’s line and the business. The co-founders collaborate on the branding and marketing.
They’ve worked with a fabric vendor to develop a completely new fabric for the com-pany. The result is an original blend of Merino wool bonded to a layer of cotton.
“When you put it on, it feels like a long-sleeve tee, but it looks professional,” Weaver said.
However, Garbarino acknowledged that it is expensive. Pieces cost between $159 to $199.
“Our audience wants to make smarter buy-ing decisions, though,” she said. “If you want high quality with minimal upkeep, you will make the investment.”
Buyers will also know that they are being charged a fair price for what they are receiving because Brunswick Park is a transparent busi-ness, Garbarino said. A page on their website is
dedicated to the pursuit of ethical manufactur-ing and keeping buyers informed.
Now that their apparel is available to the public, both Garbarino and Weaver said they learned from others to get where they are now. For Garbarino, the push to get Brunswick Park off the ground came from her husband.
Chase Garbarino said he fell in love with his
wife’s idea for Brunswick Park because it would make both his closet and his life more efficient. The two work beyond the 9-to-5 time frame. On some weekends, they sit next to each other on the couch, working separately, together.
“I wouldn’t have done it without him,” Gar-barino said. “He gave me the guts and blind confidence I needed.”

GLOBALCINEMA
Annual Syracuse International film festival to feature 30-plus films
By Sam Gozinsky contributing writer
T his year, some guests will travel over 15 hours to attend the Syracuse International Film Festival, wherefilms will be shown from countries that
haven’t been included in several years. A number of Canadian documentaries, an Italian film and almost 30 more will be exhibited at the five-day festival.
Held every October in Syracuse, the festival attempts to expose its audience to films that it wouldn’t normally encounter. It began Wednesday night and will end Oct. 18. The movies are shown at different locations around the local area, including the Palace Theatre and the Everson Museum of Art.
In 2003, Syracuse University professor and current program coordinator for the Visual and Performing Arts School’s Film program, Owen Shapiro, along with his wife Christine Fawcett-Shapiro, decided to bring celebration of film to central New York. This decision materialized into the Syracuse International Film Festival, a constantly evolving celebration of domestically international film. However, this year’s festival will feature content from regions that haven’t contributed in the past.
“We’re looking for films that engage the audience, not necessarily films that you would see in the mall cinemas, although some of them might be. And when we’re looking for international films, we’re looking for films that would probably never be in Syracuse if not for the festival,” said Shapiro, the festival’s artistic director.
Contributing countries vary from year to year, but the festival always displays plenty of international content.
Fawcett-Shapiro said Israel and China typically con-tribute a great deal of content because of their large cinema industries.
The festival allows audiences to interact with more than just the movie being shown on the silver screen. Interactive question-and-answer sessions between the audience and special film festival invitees such as Pixar Executive Vice President for Music and SU alumnus and Grammy award-winner Tom MacDougall are among some special events.
Another opportunity for viewers to engage in the film in a more dynamic way is through this year’s silent film viewing, Shapiro said.
“Every year, we identify a silent movie and we com-mission a contemporary composer to compose an orig-inal score for the film and then the score is performed live with the film,” Shapiro said.
This year’s silent film will be the 1920 adaptation of ‘The Mark of Zorro,’ with a score composed by Mark Olivieri. Conducting the orchestra will be Le Moyne College professor Travis Newton, and the orchestra
will feature some music students from SU and Le Moyne College.
In addition to being part of the orchestra, students from Syracuse area institutions take part in the fes-tival in different ways including producing films for the festival and getting to interact with the actors and directors there.
Every year, the SU faculty selects the best stu-dent-produced films, which are then showcased at the film festival.
While current students play a huge role in the film festival, involvement doesn’t stop at graduation, as evidenced by SU alumnus Joe Lynch who is showing at this year’s festival. Lynch, now a director of horror films such as “Everly,” attributes much of his success to the foundation he got at SU.
“I have such an affinity for the university and what it did for my career and cinematic well-being. I learned not just the benefits and the attributes of looking at a film a certain way, but I was actually able to make movies,” Lynch said.
Lynch credits faculty members such as Shapiro, who was his professor, with encouraging him to not give up on his dream of making horror movies even if some consider the genre to be “not serious.”
Said Lynch: “Stories are stories, it doesn’t matter what genre — so the more that we can expose film students and cinema students to great movies, not just great dramas but great horror movies and great sci-fi movies and great comedies — maybe they’ll be inspired too.”
I have such an affinity for the university and what it did for my career and cinematic well-being.

with his play through that offseason that he was awarded a scholarship.
A lack of what Matteo termed “maturity” and a bevy of more experienced linemen, each of whom understood the offense, better plagued his chances to hold onto the starting spot. After playing tackle in high school, he needed time to adjust to playing center — the lineman position which mentally requires more than any other.
One start aside, Matteo found himself see-ing mostly reps with the special teams unit in the 2013 season.
“I was focused on me,” Matteo said. “… I didn’t do the things I needed to do in order to play regularly.”
The 2014 season looked more promising, Mat-teo said, with a year of the Cavaliers offense under his belt. He started once at center and once at left tackle, through the team’s first five games.
But in the fourth quarter of the sixth game against Kent State, Matteo felt a pop in his foot on an otherwise normal play. He finished the game, but postgame x-rays showed he had broken the fifth metatarsal in his left foot.
“You never want to sit out and watch your guys go out there without you,” Matteo said. “… But it motivated me going into this season.”
The injury motivated Matteo to make dras-tic changes to jumpstart his offseason work-outs and bolster his fitness. He didn’t have to look far for how to do it as his roommate and star wide receiver Canaan Severin had dropped 20 pounds the past summer.
The pair ate chicken, spinach and rice for din-ner every night and cut out all fatty foods. Santoro, who also lives with Matteo, said that it led to the center shedding four percent of his body fat.
“Matteo dropped a tremendous amount of body fat,” said head coach Mike London. “He’s got a great mindset, so he takes this thing seriously and it’s paid off for him in his ability to perform.”
Matteo said that in order to play like a leader, he needed to act like one in the offsea-son and he would often help the captains lead offseason workouts.
Upon returning home some nights during the summer, Santoro would find an empty house upward of five hours after conditioning sessions had ended. Matteo, along with Severin and the fourth roommate, starting quarter-back Matt Johns, would still be at the team’s facility watching film.
The newfound leadership has come with playing consistently, but started with the atti-tude accompanying the offseason work.
“He’s the kind of dude who doesn’t like to get beat,” Santoro said. “It’s obviously tough for him to be on the sideline not playing all that time, but he had plenty of time to think of how to get on the field.
“Jackson just went out and made it happen finally.”

a recent head injury curtailed a comeback attempt that included intentions of switching to wide receiver and redshirting.
Still, Long flashes an occasional smile, sit-ting with his back to a cushioned booth inside the Schine Student Center on Wednesday. He didn’t know how many people cared about him before seeing the outpouring on Twitter Tuesday night. It made shielding the past more bearable. It’s a journey cut short, but at the same time one just beginning.
“He’s got a lot of life to live,” Long’s father, Ace said. “He’s got a lot of things he wants to accomplish and it’s all still there for him.”
Long’s first concussion came late in his senior year of high school, when he was playing safety and fell over before being accidentally kicked in the head. After practice, he inadvertently fell asleep in his locker. He doesn’t remember any of it.
He was the first commit in Syracuse’s Class of 2014 and envisioned putting the Orange back on the map, first by pioneering a recruit-ing class that could. He lists off Zaire Franklin, Ervin Philips and Steve Ishmael, three of the best players on this year’s team that came after him in that group.
The second concussion happened the sum-mer heading into his freshman year. He woke up, rolled out of bed and hit his head on a nightstand. It came at the start of SU’s second summer session, so he had time to fully heal before training camp started.
One week before Hunt fractured his fib-ula against Louisville on Oct. 3, 2014, Long
planned to redshirt. The coaches told him that even in the situation that Hunt did go down, Long wouldn’t play. Still, he started against then-No. 1 Florida State and made four more starts last season. He thought he was going to be Syracuse’s starting quarterback in 2015.
“AJ came in here with high hopes,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said. “…Did a nice job last year when he was thrown into the fire as a young man as a freshman with all the quarter-back injuries we had.”
In the offseason, Long raised his weight to 190 pounds and worked out with private quar-terback coach Madei Williams. Focusing on his upper-body technique – notably the fluidity of his motion and spiral on release – Long inched closer to fine-tuning the potential he flashed months before.
But in a moment he calls a blur, he only remembers that his right hand didn’t look or feel the same. Until being cleared to throw at SU’s training camp at Fort Drum, Long didn’t study the playbook. All exercises were focused on his lower body and core. He just wanted to regain feeling in his hand.
“It was probably the worst thing possible,” he said.
After the second week of the season, still wear-ing gloves to regain full grip in his throwing hand, Long talked with his parents, Williams, Shafer and offensive coordinator Tim Lester about switching to wide receiver. But before he could start the transition, déjà vu from last year set in.
“Central Michigan rolls around and Eric got his concussion,” Long said. “I was thinking the same thing that happened last year. It’s going to happen again.”
Instead, the Orange went with walk-on Zack Mahoney. Shafer told Long to be ready to play against LSU on Sept. 26. The time never came. Then when Dungey recuperated during the bye week, returning to health to face South Florida, Long again planned to redshirt.
The third concussion was the dagger that ended his career 14 years in the making. When he first started watching the practice tape on repeat, Long thought about his football life being over. As the tape rewound more, thoughts shifted to coaching and how to stay with the game he’s played since he was 5.
All he could do was sit in his apartment and think. He didn’t want to ponder the best pos-sible outcome for fear of falling short. He was officially told by Dr. James Tucker on Tuesday that he’d been disqualified, but knowing what was coming made facing reality easier.
Being frank, Long admits he doesn’t know how many concussions he’s had. He knows if he points out every little head discomfort, his career would’ve already been over.
“I know the three that have made me, that have hurt me a lot, were these three,” he said. “I
knew that they were bad.” And after news broke Tuesday night, Long
scrolled through his Twitter feed. He read mes-sages of support from his father, Syracuse fans and people he’s never met and began crying.
For now, Long is focusing on making sure his head is fine. He wants to straighten out his aca-demics and find out what to do with his time without football. He eventually plans to approach Shafer about an undergraduate coaching spot. If that doesn’t work out, he’s set on being a graduate assistant at any school that will give him a shot.
Long gets more giddy talking about how he plans to model for his father’s clothing brand, S4G, or “Strive For Greatness.” He plans to sell the clothing on campus in the coming weeks and be what Ace called a “walking billboard” for his business.
“This allows me to do so much with my life now because it’s cliché to say, a pedestal, so that way I can help other people now,” Long said. “Football helped me build the AJ Long brand that people know today. “
He wants to be the youngest position coach in college football. Then the youngest coordi-nator and youngest head coach. Eventually, he wants to open up his own high school.
The present is filled with uncertainty now that he’s displaced from normalcy. The future he had planned, despite being derailed, will now take a different course.
“Football is just a game, but for me it was a tool to be able to reach people,” Long said. “Now it’s time to figure out what else consumes me, what else calls me in to be the best at it that anybody’s ever seen.”

Fast break. One-on-one. Just Miles Robinson and a defender.
Except the ball was in his hands, not at his feet. And he was under this rim he couldn’t quite see in a gym — not a net on an open field.
As the defender fouled him on the arm, he just elevated, elevated, began twisting and ele-vated more before jamming home a 180-degree slam dunk, sending the gym into a frenzy.
“Me and the other coaches were hoping he would try out for basketball because we think he could definitely make Syracuse,” John Bowler, Robinson’s basketball coach at Arling-ton (Massachusetts) High School said.
And the dunk didn’t even count. The referee didn’t call a continuation foul, but it’s one of the stories that made Robinson what Bowler calls the greatest athlete to ever come out of Arlington.
Bowler says all of Arlington likes to watch Robinson’s soccer games online, and he never even played the sport for his high school because of club soccer rules. The No. 16 Syr-acuse (9-3-1, 2-2-1 Atlantic Coast) defender has imposed his 6-foot-2 frame on opposing offenses all season, and the Orange will need him to continue to do so when SU takes on No. 4 Clemson (10-1-2, 3-1-1).
“I’m not sure,” Robinson said of how his parents produced him and his sister Rebecca, a sprinter on the SU track team. “People are always asking that. My dad’s a musician and my mom’s an engineer, like two non-athletic people.”
Robinson’s athleticism was apparent from a
young age. In his first years of playing club soc-cer for FC Bolts in Massachusetts, he hoisted himself up using the post of the net and flailed himself parallel to the ground to block a shot, Jane Madden, Robinson’s mother said.
He always wanted to be able to touch a door-frame in the house when he wasn’t tall enough to do so. Robinson practiced jumping up and down to touch the doorframe. When he did hit it, he celebrated for a short time, then quickly moved on to trying to touch the ceiling.
When his sister Rebecca was born, Jeffrey Robinson, the freshman defender’s father saw her strength and potential. He started her on activities around the Robinson household, and put her in youth soccer.
“He would go to a lot of her soccer games when he was young and be on the sidelines and be doing the same things the kids were doing that were three years older than he was,” Madden said.
Jeffrey joked he used his mother’s “recipe” to aid them in becoming the athletes they are. He called his methods “very well kept Robin-son secrets” and said he would only divulge them later in his kids’ athletic careers.
Robinson followed in his sister’s footsteps by design.
“There were just a few things we did around the Robinson family household when they were young,” Jeffrey said.
“I just tried to put her in a position to take advantage of what I saw as a natural ability … when he was born we had already had a few things set in motion.”
Bowler heard about Robinson before he saw
him. Rumors about Robinson circulated to the varsity coach and he made Bowler’s varsity squad as a freshman, playing point guard. Rob-inson played forward as a sophomore, drilling his first dunk after an ankle injury.
Robinson’s athleticism stands out because of the lack of athletes that choose soccer over other sports, his father said. Bowler said he thought Robinson’s athleticism would blend in among the other Division I athletes around him.
But when Syracuse played Connecticut in the preseason, Robinson’s athleticism stood out just as it did when he posterized defenders during basketball games.
Robinson playing at Syracuse fits the pro-
gram’s design — SU head coach Ian McIntyre prefers athletic backs that can push forward. Against North Carolina, Robinson moved away from the net, but used his strength to nick a cross with his head and push it toward the net and rolled in.
It was one of three goals Robinson has scored all season. That’s already tied with Skylar Thomas and Tyler Hilliard, who both had three all of last season. He’s been able to lean back on supreme athleticism to break the expected confines of playing defense.
“A defender isn’t supposed to be up there getting a header,” Jeffrey said.
MILES ROBINSON is Syracuse’s most athletic player in only his freshman season. The defender has broken out of the typical role for defenders and scored three goals this season, tying the team high for defenders for all of last season. logan reidsma photo editor

AJ LONG suffered his third concussion since his senior year of high school and the Syracuse medical staff and Dr. James Tucker medically disqualified Long from football or any other contact sports at SU.

AJ Long has watched the play at least 300 times. Handing the ball off, carrying out a
fake and getting hit in the head by a defensive end. During last Wednes-day’s practice, a “thud” session in which players only wore shorts, hel-mets and shoulder pads, the sequence that ended Long’s football career lasted no more than five seconds.
“Just over and over and over,” he said. The next morning, Long woke up
and thought it was still Wednesday. He couldn’t remember anything that happened the day before. He stood
up and started seeing white spots as his head began to throb.
He looked down at his phone to a text from head football trainer Denny Kellington telling him to come into the training room. He knew he had a concussion — his third since his senior year of high school and second at SU — that would side-
line him for good. “I had a feeling in my stomach
knowing how many I had before, knowing the severity of them,” Long said, “…that it’s very unlikely that I’m ever going to be able to play foot-ball again.”
On Tuesday, Long, a sophomore quarterback, was medically disqual-ified from contact sports at SU. He’s the fourth Syracuse player in the last two years to have his football career cut short due to concussions. Last year, he started five games as a true freshman in place of the injured Ter-rel Hunt. This year, though, a broken throwing hand in the offseason and

UVA’s Matteo develops as starter after dropping walk-on titleBy Liam Sullivan staff writer
Virginia huddled around its starting center, Jackson Matteo, looking for words of encouragement. The Cava-liers found themselves in a 17-0 hole against Boise State Sept. 25 and 7:53 remained in the first quarter.
“(Matteo) was the first person to get the team together and say, ‘Hey,
we got to be better right now, do it for the man next to you,’” UVA wide receiver Ryan Santoro said. “That’s a testament to the way he’s stepped up.”
Matteo has become a leader on the offensive line this season for Vir-ginia (1-4, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) after an offseason transformation from the player he once was. After matur-ing and prioritizing his fitness, Mat-teo has left the recruited walk-on
label he once carried far in the past and carved out a role as a regular starter for UVA.
“It means the world to me (to be contributing this season),” Matteo said. “I’ve always been happy to do whatever was asked of me, but it’s good to be taking on a role on the field with everything else.”
Out of high school, Matteo accepted a scholarship to play
football at Temple from a host of other offers. But as signing day approached, he decommitted and took an opportunity to join Virginia as a recruited walk-on.
The center came out of spring practice in 2013 as a redshirt fresh-man listed as the No. 1 center on the depth chart. Then-offensive line coach Scott Wachenheim was so impressed
