Parvinder Singh, the new executive chef for Syracuse University Food Services as of this semester is ready to step up to the challenge of feeding the large student body of SU while serving up dishes that’ll suit the needs of as many students as possible. “You’re not just serving one neighborhood, or one socioeconomic class,” Singh said. “I get to serve a population full of different people, with different perspectives on life, different value systems and different attitudes.

What is vegan-pop, you ask? Here’s how local band minnoe’s bass guitarist Ian Sherlock describes the movement: “Specifically in the realm of music it’s interesting to be able to talk about (veganism). DIY music in general, whether it’s punk, pop, whatever — I feel like any subculture is derived from questioning authority and the means that push meat and dairy consumption are an extremely powerful authority, and to go vegan is to completely defy those forces.” The band formed less than a year ago, and recently recorded their latest album “Pinwheel” to be released in late February.

NYC artist uses photographs, sculptures to call out overconsumption

Mary Mattingly was stopped by the police when she attempted to haul her boulder-sized sculptures made of trash from across the Bayonne Bridge from Staten Island to New Jersey. With this art installation, Mattingly hopes to send a message: a warning that we have become a society of waste, overconsumption and greed. Her work is currently on display at Light Work Gallery, located on the edge of campus. The free exhibit, “Mass and Obstruction,” is open until March 11.
