SU’s College of Law has a diversity problem, students and faculty say, but is working to

tudents, professors and administration of Syracuse University’s College of Law — in recent interviews with The Daily Orange — acknowledged a lack of diversity in the student body and faculty there, detailing a slew of wide-ranging initiatives and ideas to bolster representation at Dineen Hall. The college is addressing concerns with multiple diversity and inclusion initiatives, including programs to introduce historically underrepresented students to the law profession at SU. About one-quarter of students in the law school are students of color, Dean Craig Boise said in an email. And 20 percent of the school’s faculty and staff are minorities, according to data on the law school’s website. Second year law student Saron Berhe, treasurer of SU’s Black Law Student Association, said she was not aware that the College of Law lacked diversity when she first arrived on campus. She said she thought the demographics would be similar to that of the State University of New York at Buffalo, her undergraduate alma mater. “I remember that when we first came here, the class before us was shocked at how many of us there were that were considered diverse,” Berhe said. “Our class came in with about a dozen or so. The (College of Law) kept touting the numbers, as far as us being one of the more diverse classes.” In a conversation with Chancellor Kent Syverud late last year, law students expressed concerns with the lack of diversity in faculty, encouraging the university to hire a more diverse set of attorneys. Caleb Williamson, director of community service for
the BLSA, said he was not surprised by the lack of diversity in the College of Law. Williamson attended Hamilton College, a private university in central New York, for his undergraduate degree, where the college’s black student population was low. “I know this is a problem that’s nationwide, and I knew that going to a college in central New York wouldn’t help my cause,” he said. “I recognized it would be an issue.” Boise, dean of the College of Law, said in an interview that the law school is gradually diversifying its student and faculty populations. Thirty-four percent of the Class of
2021 is made up of students of color, according to data on the school’s website. Nine percent of that class is made up of black students and 15 percent of Hispanic students, he said. The number of minority faculty has grown from 17 to 20 percent since 2013, Boise added. He said the College of Law hired three new faculty members this year: one Israeli man, one white woman and one Asian woman. “When I became dean, I made diversity a preferred qualification,” Boise said. “We need to have a greater percentage of our faculty who are minorities, no doubt about it.” The College of Law hires faculty and staff from a database of applications gathered by the Association of American Law Schools, Boise said. This year, the database had more than 400 applications for teaching positions at the 205 ABA-approved law schools in the United States, he said. The database included 30 Asian applicants, 20 Hispanic applicants and 36 black applicants, Boise said. The best way to recruit students of color, he said, is to approach them during their undergraduate education. see diversity page 9

Pete Sala details upcoming SU construction projects By Kennedy Rose news editor
Vice President and Chief Facilities Officer Pete Sala discussed updates on multiple Campus Framework initiatives, including the National Veterans Resource Center and the future of Schine Student Center, in an interview with The Daily Orange. SALA Syracuse University will continue to work with minority- and women- owned business enterprises on construction and
renovation projects, Sala said. Every project at SU has a goal of 10 percent of the workforce being from MWBEs, he added. Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh said in his 2019 “State of the City” address that SU works on some of the largest construction projects in the region, and applauded the university’s effort to hire local, minority and veteran workers. “It’s important to try and get as much local support we can,” Sala said. Construction continues on the NVRC, which is slated to open in the spring semester of 2020, Sala said. Last week’s warmer weather allowed construction crews to pour concrete,
which they typically cannot do in the cold winter months, he said.

Plans for the redevelopment of the 700 block of Ostrom Avenue is still very conceptual, he said, and the university is currently working with a design team to
understand what they can do with the street’s properties. Several organizations, including the LGBT Resource Center and the Office of Off-Campus and Commuter Services, moved out of their locations on Ostrom to accommodate for future construction projects. The Daily Orange is currently located in the 700 block of Ostrom Avenue. “We need to have an idea of what we’re going to do, because we’re going to have to go to the city and say, ‘Hey, we’re not just coming in knocking houses down. Here’s what we’re going to build, or what potentially we could build,’” Sala said. Planning for the Bill and Penny
Allyn Innovation Center, a new student support facility set to be built onto Link Hall, is also still in preliminary stages, he said. Campus facilities is working with a construction management firm for pre-construction services on the center. Construction designs for Schine Student Center are about 65 percent complete, he said. Renovations are scheduled to start in May, Sala added. The Barnes Center at The Arch, SU’s new gym and wellness complex that’s replacing the Archbold Gymnasium, is still set to open in September, he said. krose100@syr.edu @KennedyRose001

Syracuse partners with technology startups By Gillian Follett staff writer
The city of Syracuse will collaborate with three technology companies through Startup in Residence, a program connecting technology startups with governmental agencies across the United States. Adria Finch, Syracuse’s chief innovation officer, said the three companies — Camino, Vite Labs and Zivics — will develop technology to solve specific challenges facing the city. Camino will simplify the application process for building and construction permits. Vite Labs will
create a crowdfunding system to provide loans to low-income residents, and Zivics will develop an app to reduce the rates of violence in the city through increased community engagement. San Francisco’s Office of Civic Innovation created Startup in Residence, known as STIR, in 2014 according to the program’s website. The program invites startups to resolve challenges identified by government offices around the country. “Syracuse has a lot of problems, and we can always use help solving them,� Finch said. “We’re trying to think creatively about
how we can leverage the community and the resources here to help us be more effective in governing and operations.�
Syracuse has a lot of problems, and we can always use help solving them. Adria Finch syracuse chief innovation officer
Finch said the innovation team proposed as many as 15 problems they
hope to solve, but ultimately shrunk the number after considering their financial and technological feasibility. A review committee assessed the proposals submitted by dozens of applicants before selecting the three chosen startups, Finch said. Zivics is the only local company of the three startups. Camino and Vite Labs are both based in California. Nate Levine, one of Camino’s co-founders, said the company chose to participate in STIR because it was already developing technology to improve the permit application process and looking for a city partner. see startups page 9

Here are three Syracuse news stories you may have missed over the weekend.
Woman with handgun assaults students
An unknown woman assaulted three Syracuse University students with a handgun at about 12:40 a.m. Saturday in the 800 block of Ackerman Avenue, the university’s Department of Public Safety said in a campus-wide email. The victims declined medical treatment for their minor injuries, per the email. An arrest was not made as of Sunday. Both DPS and the Syracuse Police Department were on the
scene past 1:00 a.m. Officers from both departments declined to comment on the incident.
Spring University Lectures series announced
SU announced its speakers for the spring 2019 University Lectures series on Friday. Nina Totenberg, a legal affairs correspondent for NPR; Martin Indyk, the director of executive education at the nonprofit Council on Foreign Relations think tank and Lynn Conway, a University of Michigan professor and LGBTQ+ advocate will all deliver lectures at Hendricks Chapel during March and April. The lectures are free to the public. Totenberg helped lead NPR’s award-winning coverage of events
following Anita Hill’s allegations of sexual harassment by Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas in 1991. Indyk was the executive director and founder of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a position he held for eight years. He also served as the U.S. ambassador to Israel in 1995 to 1997 and 2000 to 2001. Conway was fired from her job at computer hardware company IBM when they found she was undergoing gender transition. Conway later restarted her career at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. She retired in 1999, and created her trans-support website lynnconway.com. She’s currently a professor of electrical engineering and computer science emerita at the University of Michigan. All three lectures will begin at
7:30 p.m. on their respective dates and are open and free to the public.
Drinkable water returned to Watson Hall
Watson Hall’s drinking water was restored Thursday after several water main breaks left the residence hall without potable water. A water main beneath Waverly Avenue broke last week, leaving Watson without water for several hours. Water was restored via a connection to a city water line, but the water was deemed unsuitable for drinking, residence hall officials said in an email. Watson officials gave students water bottles to drink from free of charge. esfolts@syr.edu | @emmafolts

Journalism’s struggle is its own doing
J
ournalism is the business of gathering and disseminating information. And for years, newspapers had a monopoly on the information business, which allowed them to dominate advertising. But now, with the emergence of platforms like Facebook, newspaper advertising is becoming more and more obsolete. Internet companies can reach more people for less money than newspapers ever could. Many people are calling the struggling news business a democratic crisis. While yes, news is absolutely integral to a functioning democracy, it’s still called the news business for a reason. News organizations and journalists are quick to point at external factors effecting the industry, but they rarely look inward and consider how they need to innovate and adapt. When journalists encourage people to support the news they care about, they’re actually perpetuating the very problem that’s killing the industry. Customers aren’t responsible for saving a struggling business, it’s the business’ responsibility to create enough value so that consumers are willing to pay. That’s true for news as well, because after all, it’s still a business. People will pay for high-quality content that adds value to their lives. “I think news organizations

IT’S JUST BUSINESS
must provide news reports that create customer loyalty — loyalty that is strong enough to make customers willing to pay for the value of the report,� Lou Ureneck, a journalism professor at Boston University, said in an email. Aileen Gallagher, an associate professor in the magazine department at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, said for the last decade or so the news industry has been focusing on chasing scale, or trying to create content that gets lots of clicks. “I’m not sure how long it’s going to take the newspaper industry to back off of chasing traffic, but the sooner they do it, the better,� Gallagher said. BuzzFeed is the perfect example of an organization that focused on chasing scale. In 2018, BuzzFeed generated more than $300 million in revenue, but still wasn’t profitable. That’s not a democratic crisis, it’s a poor business model. Producing quality journalism and running a good business aren’t mutually exclusive. There are companies in the media business that
are innovating and discovering new ways to make money. The Ringer, a sports and pop culture website founded by Bill Simmons, generated $15 million in revenue from advertisement sales on its podcasts in 2018 and is profitable, according to The Wall Street Journal. Gallagher said the future of journalism is small and niche. “As a media company, the best option is to run very lean and find a hole in the market you can fill with a unique product that is targeted at an audience that values that product enough to pay for it,� she said. Paying for news just for the sake of it will have the opposite outcome of what the news business is looking for — a sustainable business model. Discovering sustainable and profitable business models requires failure and hardship. People seem to forget that when it comes to journalism. The conversation needs to change from “pay for the news you read� to “news organizations must figure out how to create more value for their readers.� Daniel Strauss is a senior finance major and public communications minor.

Marijuana legalization is a racial justice issue
I
n his 2019 Justice Agenda, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) proposed a statewide program to address the effects of marijuana-related criminalization. The program, if implemented, will reduce the impact of prosecution of marijuana charges in communities of color. Let’s get one thing straight — marijuana legalization cannot be accomplished without reparations to communities of color harmed by its criminalization. The one restitution Cuomo has proposed is the automatic sealing of certain cannabis-related criminal records. While this can be effective in helping ex-convicts find work or go to school after prison, it doesn’t address negative social effects on communities. What Cuomo has proposed is a start, but it’s not enough. More reparations must be made to communities of color, if the governor does, indeed, successfully legalize recreational marijuana in New York state. Compensation should be given to those incarcerated for minor marijuana-related offenses, and neighborhoods that were damaged by the war on drugs should, now, be able to reap the economic benefits of the recreational marijuana industry. Minor marijuana offenses are often paired with long prison sentences, and the conditions of prison can lead convicts to seek comfort in other drugs. “Being in prison is very stressful and traumatic, and so that whole aspect of things creates this sort of vortex and a cycle of trauma and neurological shift. And in

fact, this could make people more susceptible to the factors that put them at risk for addiction,� said Dessa Bergen-Cico, an associate professor in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics’ department of public health. Bergen-Cico is the school’s addiction studies program coordinator. Not only are ex-cons susceptible to substance abuse, but they sometimes put themselves at risk with harmful synthetic marijuana. “A condition of parole for a lot of people is that they have random drug testing, so if you’re in a state where marijuana is not legal — or even some states where it is legal — if they come out positive for marijuana they get in trouble,� Bergen-Cico said. “For some people, they have then chosen to use synthetic cannabis like Spice, and that stuff is really volatile and unpredictable. It has a lot more problems with it.� Synthetic marijuana also presents a danger to community members, at large. The unregulated sale of fake weed can subject people to various illnesses, psychotic disorders and even death. It’s clear there are benefits to legalizing recreational marijuana. But it’s also clear that, to successfully do that, New York state must repay those who have been unnecessarily harmed by its criminalization.

Winter fair fever By Diana Riojas, Kelsey Thompson and Haley Robertson the daily orange
T
he sounds of a bass guitar and saxophone echoed through the speakers as crowds began to gather around the stage. Couples, initially bobbing their heads and grooving in place, stripped off their winter jackets and began twirling in circles in bygone jitterbug fashion. As The Fabulous Ripcords’ horns blared, a little girl stared up at the Ferris wheel overarching the Exposition Center, her eyes entranced by the kaleidoscope of colors swirling before her. Guests meandered around the 110,000 square-foot venue, some with a wine slushie and others with a fruity frozen treat in hand, walking between booths and past strollers. It was a frigid winter night in Syracuse, marked by high-speed winds and belowfreezing temperatures. But inside the Expo Center at the New York State Fairgrounds, the inaugural Winter Fair was just getting started. The first New York State Winter Fair wrapped up Sunday night after three days of live entertainment, rides, vendors and food. Lines for the Ferris wheel, Scrambler and Zero Gravity rides stretched to nearly 50 people at times, while hundreds of people sat in front of the main stage for live entertainment throughout the weekend.
ENTERTAINMENT Seventeen acts were scheduled to perform throughout the three-day event, including live music, magic, martial arts demonstrations and dancing, among others. Jay Gould, the bass player and one of the vocalists for The Fabulous Ripcords, said his fellow bandmates and he were excited to play the first Winter Fair after having performed at the summer rendition several times. The band, who have been performing together for 16 years, were looking forward to sharing their New Orleansinspired music with new audiences. “Well, it’s a little chilly outside, but it’s not so bad in here,” Gould said on Friday night, laughing. “It’s hard to compare the two, but it seems like a fine venue and I really hope they continue it.” The Winter Fair Stage, located at the back of the Expo Center, featured several rows of bleachers for spectators to sit on during the performances. But as the lineup continued, the bleachers disappeared in a sea of visitors, with hundreds standing around the stage for a

First-ever New York State Winter Fair revives fun of summer inside Exposition Center 1. With thousands of visitors in attendance, lines for amusement rides wove through the 110,000 square-foot venue.

glimpse of the live performances. The Francis Academy of Irish Dance took the stage at 12:15 p.m. Saturday afternoon, performing their first show of their 2019 season. As the music began to swell for their first dance, “Gaelic Girls,” the dancers formed a central circle, gold and black costumes blurring together as their spins gained momentum and matched the crowd’s heightened claps. Their seventh and final dance of the afternoon, a river dance, was choreographed to the song, “Reel Around the Sun.” Starting in a V-shaped formation before breaking into a singular line, the dancers leapt through the air, arms firmly in place at their sides per Irish step dance tradition. The performers broke off into pairs, their sharp footwork and high kicks in complete synchronicity. As the music crescendoed, the clicks of their hard shoes echoed on the concrete floor, mirroring the crowd’s cheers long after the final number ended. “I think any type of dancing, people love and are attracted to,” said Molly FrancisLutwin, the owner and operator of the Francis Academy of Irish Dance. “Today, we brought our highest level dancers — our champions. It’s really nice, crisp and clean, and the beat of the music is so fun that a lot of people just love Irish dancing ... it has everything.”

staples like funnel cakes, slushies and cotton candy, while local restaurants grabbed fairgoers’ attention by modifying their traditional menus to share ready-made foods to match the fast-paced vendor lines. To give customers a kick-start, Salt City Coffee set up shop with a simple menu for the fair. Maria Metthe, manager and co-owner of the cafe, brought three menu items to showcase: Salt City’s Syracuse blend black coffee, ice brew and hot chocolate. For Metthe, participating in the fair was more about the experience than making money. “We’re just not doing it for the coffee, we really are trying to be a part of the community,” Metthe said. Another family-run operation that is no stranger to the fairgrounds is Bosco’s at the Fair. Co-owner Steve Bosco was excited when he was asked to be a vendor at the Winter Fair — he said the business has participated in fair events in Syracuse for more than 30 years. Bosco said the business’s most popular menu item at the fair was its grilled prime rib sandwich, topped with onions or mushrooms and paired with an au jus sauce. The sandwich was such a hit at the fair that the team had to pick up more product on Saturday, Bosco said. “We had to get some more and get them cookin’ in the oven,” said Bosco. Creole Soul Café offered a taste of Louisiana with their dirty rice poppers and Bourbon Street sauce. Owner Darren Chavis recommended guests try the multi-spiced onion and garlic bourbon sauce, glazed over rice. Chavis said that while Creole Soul Café’s dishes might not be the most conventional fair food, the exposure the business gains is well worth coming out for. Bringing some sweetness to the fair was What The Fudge, a Minoa-based fudgery. Owner Lisa Merchant said that while customers gravitated toward the peanut butter fudge, the jalapeño fudge is something guests might not see regularly. Joe Thomas, head waiter at The Chef & The Cook, offered guests a build-your-own noodle bowl complemented with pork belly, cabbage and red onions. He recommended adding a bit of everything to dress the bowl the best. Thomas also said coming to the fair allowed The Chef & The Cook to customize a menu that would only be featured at the Expo Center. “Instead of bringing what we have, let’s create something new.” Thomas said. “It’s fine dining without the pretentiousness.”
VENDORS Dozens of vendors packed the front half of the Expo Center, selling clothing, jewelry and handmade goods. One section of vendors, the Six Nations Agricultural Society Indian Village, was lined with purple and white curtains representative of the Iroquois flag. Monica Antone-Watson, who identifies as a wolf clan member of the Mohawk, sold handcrafted corn husk dolls, cloth No Face dolls, quilts, bags and other products with Haudenosaunee influence and designs. An alumna of Syracuse University’s fiber arts and material studies program, Antone-Watson said she applies the techniques she learned in class to the creation of her artwork. Vendors from the Everson Museum of Art’s City Market showcased their work, including Bruce Block, who organizes the City Market. He sold items he has collected throughout his years of worldwide travel — including Zimbabwean batiks, pillows and runners, as well as products from Turkey, Guatemala and India. Sharon Pickard, who works with Block at City Market, said although there were many people looking at the products, not many were buying as of Saturday afternoon. “But I think that’s to be expected,” she said. “It’s the first one and I think they’re just exploring to see what’s here.” The fair also hosted vendors in The Van Robinson Pan African Village, including Ms. Echol’s Treats, which offered free samples of homemade caramel corn. Several vendors served free samples of their treats, including Nat’s Nuts, Cheese Filled Company and Goodway Gourmet Bakery. At Goodway Gourmet Bakery’s booth, stacks of rum cakes lined the display table as guests sampled bites of coconut, chocolate and banana-flavored cakes. On Saturday, vendor Sarena Bradley said their most popular flavors at the fair have been ripe banana and chocolate. The bakery, which benefits Redemption Christian Academy, is no stranger to fairs and festivals — Bradley said the business has traveled across the East Coast for various events. pulp@dailyorange.com

diversity The College of Law plans to begin a “ThreePlus-Three” program at three historically black colleges and universities, the dean said. This would allow students to complete three years of an undergraduate degree and three years of law school. Students in the program would begin receiving the law education during their senior, undergraduate year. The program will be implemented at Spelman College, Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University, Boise said. “One of the ways, if you’re interested in trying to recruit students of color, is to say, ‘Where are the students of color?’ In historically black colleges and universities,” he said. “We expect that by partnering with these schools, we’ll have access with a significant number of African American students who are interested in law school.” During the fall semester, a forum was held for the administration to address issues of diversity brought up by students, faculty and staff, Berhe said. This led to the creation of the Inclusion Initiatives Committee, with four faculty members, four staff members and four students. from page 3
startups “We’re thrilled to be working with Syracuse,” he said. “They seem to be a very forward-thinking city. They have wonderful staff working there, and it’s been a lot of fun partnering with them so far.”
This is more about us bringing something new to the table, putting something else in the city’s toolbox to try and solve this problem. Adam Peruta
president of zivics
Luke Kim, chief marketing officer at Vite Labs, said his company hopes to establish a first-of-its-kind loan system in Syracuse. Kim said the system would be a “token economy,” which rewards residents for contributing money to a social cause in the city. The donated funds would be added to a pool of money distributed to residents struggling with housing instability, Kim said. The funder receives tokens that function similar to coupons and redeems them for various incentives, including parking ticket forgiveness and lowered property taxes. Adam Peruta, president of Zivics and assistant professor at the S.I. Newhouse
The goal of the committee is to evaluate the climate around diversity and inclusion in the College of Law, Boise said. “We are in a moment in time right now where there are opportunities to do better and to improve in this area that I think didn’t exist before,” Suzette Meléndez, chair of the Inclusion Initiatives Committee, said. “I always think there is room for improvement.” Meléndez is a teaching professor and the director of the Children’s Rights and Family Law Clinic, which works with College of Law students to represent individuals of central New York who would not otherwise have legal representation. Meléndez said that, in her classroom, she tries to illustrate how particular cases or statutes will affect people of different identities. She works to teach her students to be open to the perspectives of others when providing legal representation. Last week, Meléndez took part in Diversity Law Day, where SU law professors spoke with local high school students to introduce them to the possibility of a career in law. “It’s tremendously important to get students from underrepresented populations to consider law as a career and to consider our School of Public Communications, said his company will use technology it previously developed for campus engagement apps to better connect city residents and government personnel. “The mission is really to change the fabric of civic discourse and community interaction by engaging citizens and community members through this activity-driven experience,” Peruta said. Peruta said these activities could include events where residents are invited to speak with city officials or participate in a city cleanup. Participation in these events would reward app users. Zivics is developed the app with the Trauma Response Team, an organization that responds to violent events in the city. The TRT could use the app to promote events, such as vigils for homicide victims, or to deliver public safety alerts and warnings after a violent event, Peruta said. The ultimate goal of the app is to help reduce the rates of violence in the city by making residents more engaged and active members of their communities. “It’s going to be a process,” Peruta said. “This is more about us bringing something new to the table, putting something else in the city’s toolbox to try and solve this problem.” Finch said the work of these three companies is intended to directly benefit Syracuse residents. “If these solutions do what they’re intended to, people will actually be able to feel meaningful change,” she said. gifollet@syr.edu

law school as a place to venture into that,” Meléndez said. Student Bar Association President Erika Simonson said she wants to be included in diversity programming that SU has to offer, and wants to improve communication between the College of Law and the rest of the university. “I think the law school and the larger university could do a better job of coming together, so that way law students and law professors have the opportunity to take part in these initiatives,” she said. “We don’t want to reinvent the wheel just for the law school.” Williamson said an effective way to recruit diverse individuals is to allow current students to communicate with them about their experiences. He said he knew students who attended the law school before he decided to enroll. Learning about their personal educational experiences helped him make his decision, Williamson said. “In terms of actually getting accepted students to choose Syracuse, the personal narratives of the current students can be beneficial,” he said. When two black men were arrested in a Philadelphia Starbucks cafe in April 2018,
Williamson said he felt a sense of solidarity and understanding. He also experienced this kind of harassment, he said, having to show proof of purchase in order to justify being in restaurants. “Seeing that on the news, it brought me back,” he said. After the Starbucks incident, Paula Johnson, one of his professors, told Williamson’s class to reach out and talk to her if they felt struck by the incident. She was the only black woman law professor Williamson had been taught by. Williamson said that his professor, reaching out to the students regarding the event, made a major difference in his opinion of the faculty and administration. But he added that professors like her are uncommon. Berhe said the College of Law administration could better serve the student body by outwardly showing they are working toward creating a diverse environment and making sure students “feel the diversity.” “In order to have people that are attracted to coming here you need to have a place that people say is diverse,” Berhe said. “A person’s personal experience at a place are as important as the education they receive.” nrrubiol@syr.edu | @natalierubio_

Hacks vanquish Fanboys in entertainment clash, 65-57 By W.F. Whence
germanificated staff sculptor
Oh, how the decree of the past scribes hath been heard. For many long moons, our elders hath sent messengers enclosed with a prophecy. After a bevy of solar cycles, but alas — no glory, the Hacks would reclaim the throne through a plentiful fight. The last match brought no such contest, but it would be the bout of 2019 yond fulfilled a mark hath not been crossed since decades before the young Hacks walked this realm. For, not once, but twice in the singular solar cycle, the Hacks be’est the champions of the court. In the battle tweenst two nearest equally capable foes, the Hacks triumphed, 65-57, upon the crumbling of an ancient dynasty of Fanboys that hath not free from the bellows of futility since 2017, the year of the Schwedelson. “Back to back is the best feeling in the world. This just proves The Daily Orange is committed to excellence,” Senior Staff Writer Charlie DiSturco spoke. “All I wanted to do was have my legacy be taking home two straight chips. Easy money.” The campaign sprung upon a barter of counts yond the enlivened adversaries. Thou hath apperceived the weight yond thou instant upon a gaze upon the apprehensive marks cast on the faces of the disapproved. The Hacks hath needed a knight to protect this realm, and it was summoned in the unlikeliest of forms. Sophomore Staff Writer Danny Emerman, the youngest of thou lords thou hath started, ballasted the Hacks with a plentiful count of 26 scores — a mark not reached since 2014, the year of the Schneidman. Upon Emerman’s triumphs, the Fanboys
conjured no response. A concept thou crafted be’est to propel thou pace and trigger the orb upon the fateful cylinder. But Tyler Aki’s multitude of blunders, in which the orb not come neareth the cylinder, provest a revival be a dastardly task. Be not for the Hacks’ undertaking upon the semi-circle delineation that shall be granted for no fee, marked upon DiSturco’s 14-consecutive defects, the kingdom of scribes hath might larboarded thou court among a count much grander than 65. “I missed my first nine free throws,” Emerman spoke. “The only one that mattered was the one when they were chanting ‘No one reads your paper!’ I sunk that one.” As the dusk settled upon the kingdom, the time for a Fanboys resurrection had dwindled to less’est of measures. The Fanboys carved upon the defalcation. Seven counts below, 50 times passed south. For mere moments, time halted. Hither ye, hither ye, Fanboys. Proveth thou a plentiful opponent. But alas, the Fanboys crumbled and the Hacks hath claimed superiority. As thou enter thou Media Cup slumber, until the dawn of a new solar cycle, thou be’eth larboarded with a singular message: The Daily Orange be’est upon the throne. “The fanboys showed their true colors late in the contest, when they utilized the same free throw distraction methods of Otto’s Army,” Senior Staff Writer Billy Heyen spoke. “It was the last effort from an opposition that always shaped up to be too much talk, not enough action.” W.F. Whence is a germanificated staff sculptor for The Daily Orange, where he re-germanificated to sculpt this glistening prose.

shot clock team wasn’t making a clear attempt to score. But even that became unclear at times. Players and coaches didn’t have a separate clock to track the timer with. It led to an inconsistency that doesn’t exist in many other sports — referees could decide how fast offenses could play in any given game. “It was inevitable to have a standardized shot clock,” said national lacrosse analyst Mark Dixon. “If for nothing else to make it easier for officials to officiate and fans to understand.” Coaches, players and analysts all agree that the addition of the shot clock appeals to fans, It’s NCAA men’s lacrosse way of joining in on the increased focus surrounding offense and pace across many sports. This season, the NBA added a new rule to reset the shot clock to 14 seconds after an offensive rebound. The NFL has repeatedly added rules to clamp down on defensive penalties and promote more scoring. In women’s lacrosse, the NCAA instilled a shot clock two seasons ago. The shot clock is positioned somewhere behind the net, often where a play clock would from page 12
eagles gained from its wins was immediately halted in its next matchup against No. 2 Louisville, when SU was dominated by 25. That brought the Orange offense into Sunday’s game in a state of uncertainty. Hillsman was optimistic it’d come around soon, but he didn’t have much to back it up with. Against BC, his faith was validated. The outburst began from the opening tip. On the first possession of the game, Mangakahia fed Amaya Finklea-Guity for a layup. On the next, the point guard found Drummond on the left wing for her first 3 of the game. By the end of the first quarter, Mangakahia had found Drummond three separate times for triples, and had seven total assists. She ultimately finished with a dozen helpers and took just four shots. “When I feel like I need to score I try to help the team by scoring,” Mangakahia said. “This game I didn’t feel like I had to do that. Miranda was on.” Drummond scored 18 points in the first half alone — all via the deep ball. In the second half, Drummond led a team-wide shift in game plan, from the outside to the inside. She took just two 3-pointers in the second half, opting instead to go in the paint, where she scored three times in the final 20 minutes. As a team, Syracuse also shied away from shooting from deep — SU attempted just nine 3s in the second half — and it marked another from page 12
forwards on the inside to score. And they did, outscoring the Eagles 52-30 in the paint. Despite 30 points from Guy, the Orange’s defensive unit looked strong down low. Multiple good switches and rotations led to tipped passes and blocked shots. The Orange, who average 4.7 blocks per game as a team, surpassed that mark by the 7:34 mark of the third quarter and finished with six in the game. “I think a lot of it just comes from better positioning on the block and in the paint,” Hillsman said. All season long, the Orange have preached the importance of working the ball inside and getting their bigs going in the context of their offensive efficiency. As the Orange missed 109 threes over their past five games, players and coaches said a constant, potential remedy was that more scoring and movement comes through the post players. Against a powerful forwards group, SU was exposed for Miami ts inability to stick with opponents off the dribble. Against Guy and the Eagles, the Orange started off sloppy. There were a multitude of shooting foul calls on the interior and offensive rebounds bounced in the way of BC more often than in any other point of the game, giving second chances and more looks at the free throw line. But the intensity picked up, and SU
be for football. The clock starts when possession is gained by the offense, which has 20 seconds to pass half field. Desko said he doesn’t think the shot clock will affect his team as much as others due to the free-flowing nature of the offense. During SU’s season opener Friday, passes before attacwking the cage were limited. But on other possessions, like Colgate’s early in the first quarter, a lengthy clear and several failed attempts to drive on a defender can chew up more clock than expected. It’s far too early to tell what the tangible changes of the game will be. In Syracuse’s first game under the new rule, possessions didn’t drag but that didn’t translate to increased scoring. But for a sport that’s still adding teams across the country, the statistical results might not be what matters most. In lacrosse, rule changes have always been about growing the game so more people will be interested. The shot clock is no different. Said Desko: “I’ll tell you right now it’s more fun for the players to play and more exciting for the fans to watch.”

point of improvement offensively. Instead of trying and failing to get their shots from deep to go, like the Orange did when it missed 27 3s against Miami, they slowed their rate of attempts and focused on what was working for them — post scoring. “We kind of just buckled down, and got more serious,” Drummond said. “It’s getting late in the season and every loss is not good, so we’re trying to win as many as we can.” Propped up by Mangakahia, Syracuse totaled 25 assists, the most it has produced in a game since Dec. 5. Mangakahia said the team has shot more after practice. In return, SU’s 12 3-pointers were its highest total since early January. “I just know that that’s not us,” Hillsman said about Syracuse’s struggles on offense. “So no matter what happens, how we shoot the ball, I know that we’re a good shooting team, and I just know that we’re gonna get going again, because that’s what we do.” Early in the fourth quarter, with his team up by 26 points, Hillsman yelled “move it!” to SU’s half-court offense. His players did, passing the ball around the perimeter and eventually finding Strautmane on the right block. She dribbled once, ball faked and faded away before nailing a jumper that just squeaked over the lip of the rim. For a split-second, Hillsman cracked a smile. Syracuse’s offense, at least for now, was back to running the way it always had the potential to. erblack@syr.edu | @esblack34
started to find more ways to work inside. Though Guy scored handily on the inside, Hillsman said a large part of that had to do with the defense of its guards. As the game progressed, the passing lanes grew thinner. Djaldi-Tabdi led a group of bigs that ran well in transition and found herself in the right spots often. She received open passes down low, in transition and on the blocks. As the offense started to exploit the Eagles from the outside, SU pushed the ball inside when it was in need of a bucket. The offensive rebounding picked with some aggressive play from Digna Strautmane, who had three of the Orange’s six blocks Sunday. When Djaldi-Tabdi checked out in the third, Strautmane gained a rhythm with six points in the frame. “After the first half they were more focused on the shooters. So, that created more lanes for us to drive,” Miranda Drummond said. “... With our post running the floor in transition, we got a lot of points. Just running the floor.” By the end of the contest, BC had the most dominant interior player. But, after the beginning of SU’s first conference losing stretch revealed that the Orange’s forwards need work, SU left with a feeling of growth. “It’s just about keeping balls alive, touching loose balls,” Hillsman said. “I just thought we did a better job, second half, of just keeping balls alive and just getting bodies on them.” mmcclear@syr.edu | @MikeJMcCleary

New 80-second shot clock can make men’s lacrosse more “exciting� for fans By Josh Schafer
senior staff writer
W
ith an early two-goal lead during Friday night’s season opener against Syracuse, Colgate couldn’t use its faceoff domination to a time of possession advantage. In the past, repeated faceoff wins coupled with long possessions could prevent comebacks. Now, that can’t happen. Sandwiched between an STX sign in one end zone and a Saab advertisement in the other, an 80-second shot clock forced Colgate to shoot. The Raiders’ bench screamed at the 15-second mark to warn the players on the field. But after the second shot of the possession went wide of the net, a Colgate attack rolled the ball out of bounds and the officials signaled the other way. It was one of three violations combined between the two teams in Syracuse’s first game with the shot clock. The new rule, which enforces a visible 80 second shot clock in every NCAA men’s lacrosse game, was put in prior to the 2019 season. In practice, it’s rather simple, if a team shoots on net— posts and wide shots aren’t included — it’s granted a new 80 seconds to shoot again. Nationally, scoring per game is

up for certain teams but with only one or two games as a sample size. Regardless, it’s another step toward fine tuning lacrosse’s rules as the sport’s popularity grows. “I absolutely think it’s necessary,� said Ryan Powell, a recently hired program adviser at SU. “The game was turning to a place where it wasn’t fun to watch.�
When Powell played for Syracuse from 1997-2000, the Orange offense still relied heavily on a run-and-gun style and capitalized on odd-man opportunities in transition. With no limit to how long a team could hold the ball, possession became the best way to stop a high powered offense. John Desko, currently in his 21st season

as SU’s head coach, said the conversation for the shot clock intensified after the 2011 national quarterfinal. Syracuse lost 7-6 in game while Mayland won 11-of-14 faceoffs and was called for stalling 10 times. In the 2013 season, a 30-second shot clock was enacted only if referees felt a see shot

Orange return to form against BC Syracuse forwards lead SU in 96-69 win
By Eric Black
senior staff writer
Tiana Mangakahia drove hard with her right hand into the paint, bringing three Boston College defenders along with her. Sensing the pressure, Mangakahia stopped on a dime and turned her left shoulder. She immediately found Gabrielle Cooper on the wing, where the shooting guard then knocked down a triple. On the next Syracuse trip down the court, Mangakahia pushed the ball up court ahead of the Eagles’ defense before finding Digna Strautmane in the paint for two. Just over a minute later, SU center Maeva Djaldi-Tabdi found Miranda Drummond for one of her six 3s of the day. No matter who handled the ball, it seemed as though SU earned a good look at the basket on every possession. Led by Mangakahia’s 12 assists, No. 15 Syracuse (18-5, 7-3 Atlantic Coast) defeated Boston College (14-10, 3-8), 96-69, and saw its offense run smoothly for the first time in nearly a month. The Orange shot 60.6 percent
from the field, a season-high. Dribble drives led to open shots in the paint. Extra passes led to open 3s along the perimeter. And most importantly, open shots finally started to drop for the Orange.
When I feel like I need to score, I try to help the team by scoring. This game I didn’t feel like I had to do that. Miranda was on. Tiana Mangakahia su junior guard
“We got our pace, we played fast,� SU head coach Quentin Hillsman said. “You want to play fast and be efficient, and I thought tonight we were pretty efficient, getting our 3-point shooting back.� The game served as a change of pace for a Syracuse team that was in
the middle of its worst shooting slump all season. Ever since its win against Pittsburgh on Jan. 17, the Orange struggled on offense and lost their shooting touch from deep. Three days after its win against the Panthers, SU dropped its first ACC game of the season, shooting a season-low 23.9 percent in the process. When they returned home against Miami, the stagnancy continued. This time, the struggles came from behind the arc. Syracuse made just 5-of-32 attempts, another season-low shooting performance, and lost by 13. “We got to make some shots,� Hillsman said after the loss to Miami. “We’re not shooting the ball well. We gotta get it fixed.� But until Sunday, the adjustment never came. Even in its wins, SU had cold stretches from the floor. Against Duke on Jan. 27 and Virginia on Jan. 31, the Orange secured two much needed victories versus two of the worst teams in the ACC, shooting 39.8 percent combined.

Maeva Djaldi-Tabdi doesn’t care that she had two-straight blocks. On the surface, the 6-foot-2 redshirt freshman showed growth by sticking with the play.

As SU broke out of its recent shooting slump, the forwards were given more openings
