PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

orraine Branham, dean of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, died Tuesday following a battle with cancer. Friends and colleagues of Branham said they remember her innovation as a leader, her sense of fun and her nononsense attitude. “She was someone who was like steel on the inside and cotton candy on the outside,” said Johanna Keller, an associate professor in the news, magazine and digital journalism department. Branham stood out as a candidate for dean in 2009. The search committee interviewed about a dozen candidates when Branham visited Newhouse, Keller said. She said the search committee felt like Branham was starting to lead them even during the interview. As soon as Branham left the room, Keller told the search committee they had

yan Golden sat inside the Bojangles’ Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina and looked around, astonished. It was 2008, and the Coliseum was packed as then-Sen. Barack Obama led one of his rallies during his presidential campaign. Obama discussed income inequality, health care and how people shouldn’t be treated differently because of face-value differences. Give voices to minorities, don’t bury them. Promote change, don’t stall with the status quo. It’s a similar tactic Golden, a sophomore, said he brings to his campaign for Student Association president 11 years later. Golden and his running mate Kailee Vick seek to bring about change through activism. Some priorities — a Department of Public Safety review, limiting textbook costs and increasing queer representation — are the same issues

ailee Vick’s school district superintendent pointed out every place she could get shot from. Every angle a bullet would hit her. Just after February break during her senior year of high school in Rochester, Vick wanted to organize a walkout following the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. It started with a meeting between her school’s administration and other peers, but school officials wanted instead to do a gym assembly. Vick pushed even further. Vick’s mother made orange T-shirts for gun safety awareness. The superintendent was against the protest, though, according to Vick. She wanted to march around the school’s track, so school officials parked a bus there to block it off. Yet every time Vick encountered pushback, she found a way

NPR’s Lakshmi Singh discusses race, media Panelists for ‘Cuse Can!’ event announced By Casey Darnell asst. news editor

LAKSHMI SINGH spoke at the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium on Tuesday in the S.I. Newhouse School of Communications for the college’s first event in its “Race and the Media” symposium. Singh talked about diversity and her experiences as a journalist. sophia faram staff photographer By Natalie Rubio-Licht asst. copy editor

NPR anchor and Syracuse University alumna Lakshmi Singh spoke about her experiences in the newsroom at the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium on Tuesday night. Singh told stories of encountering issues related to diversity during her career and gave advice about being a young journalist of color. Singh graduated from SU in 1994 and triple majored in Latin American studies, Spanish and broadcast journalism in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the College of Arts and Sciences. Singh’s talk was part of the Race and the Media Symposium, a twoday event discussing diversity in the media industry. At the start of the event, Associate Dean for Research,

Creativity, International Initiatives and Diversity Hub Brown spoke about Newhouse Dean Lorraine Branham, who died earlier Tuesday. “Lorraine was a tireless advocate for the school,” Brown said. “We’re doing it because she’d want us to.” A moment of silence for Branham was held at the start of the event. Singh began by telling a story about a discussion she had with Branham about increasing diversity in Newhouse. Singh wanted to invest time in Newhouse, but she said she would not if the university did not commit to improving diversity. “You talk the talk, but you’re not walking the walk,” Singh said Singh then discussed NPR’s coverage of the controversy surrounding the protests at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington,

D.C. in January, where a short video showed a student standing in the way of a Native American man during a rally. She said she recalled her colleagues carefully navigating the story. Singh said this was a teachable moment in the newsroom, and that it is important to take time to thoroughly report on all aspects of larger, controversial stories. “It is better to be right than first,” Singh said. Singh also talked about the coverage that NPR did on Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. She said she would frequently run into the issue of journalists at other publications calling Puerto Rican people “immigrants” when they are American citizens. “A newsroom significantly diverse enough to reflect the communities it covers would catch that issue,” Singh said. “Newsrooms are

far from adapting to those demographics. It’s not something that you can turn around in a month or in a year. It’s a process and we should’ve been starting 20, 30, 40 years ago.” Five recent SU alumni joined Singh on the stage for a Q&A session. Brad Gorham, an associate professor of communications, asked if the panelists thought that white journalists were getting better at understanding their privilege. Singh said she sees change in individuals who first acknowledge their biases and follow up with questions. “There’s a tone of respect that must be employed, there’s a level of curiosity and interest that must be seen,” Singh said. “I think a lot of us don’t know what the conversation is supposed to sound like.” see speaker page 6

Internship to help students with conduct process By Abby Weiss staff writer

Syracuse University’s Student Association is coordinating with Student Legal Services to create an internship program to assist students going through the Code of Student Conduct process. The interns will guide students through the disciplinary process and help them with procedural steps, including opening statements and gathering evidence, said Vishwas Paul, SA’s Judicial Review Board chair. Currently, the program is open to all undergraduates, he said. Paul started the initiative along with Student Legal Services Director Christopher Burke during one of their monthly meetings. The SA constitution grants the JRB chair a position on the Student Legal Ser-

vices board of directors. “The idea for the program came up after learning from students who have gone through the disciplinary process that they did not have proper and sufficient representation,” Burke said in an email. He said that having students who are trained to advise their peers through the process will be a good resource for students. Student Legal Services cannot legally represent students in Code of Student Conduct hearings because the hearings are defined as part of an educational process, Paul said. Therefore, a student can only have an adviser that is affiliated with the university, he said. SA President Ghufran Salih said students would be more comfortable if their adviser was another student who either knows or has

been through the process before. “I know a couple students who have been through the conduct board process,” Salih said. “It can be very isolating and takes a toll on your physical and mental health. This is a service that will not only give students the experience of being an adviser, but also gives students who are going through the process a support system.” SLS and the JRB will choose seven candidates from a pool of applicants, Paul said. Applications for the program are due April 11. Salih said SA has been reaching out to different student organizations whose members would be interested in the opportunity. SA Vice President Kyle Rosenblum said the internship will provide experience for students interested in law. “It is creating an entire internship

for students. The ability to work with SLS and the ability to work directly with lawyers,” Rosenblum said. The interns will be trained by SLS and the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities after they are selected. Interns will also undergo sensitivity training in order to be aware that every student going through the process is different, Paul said. After undergoing training, the consultant interns will begin the program in the fall, Paul said. If the program is a success, will expand and open it up to more applicants, he said. “When you listen to these problems as an association and have so many resources such as connections with university administrators, it makes it possible for you to find a viable long-term solution for them,” he said. akweiss@syr.edu

Syracuse University’s Student Association announced on Tuesday the panelists for its upcoming event “Cuse Can! It Start With Us.” Actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish will perform a comedy show on Saturday as part of “Cuse Can!” Following Haddish’s performance, two panels will be held in Watson Theater — one focusing on campus issues and another on the dynamics between SU and the city of Syracuse. Pusha T and Flipp Dinero will perform a concert on Saturday night. Haddish, Pusha T and Flipp Dinero will not participate in either of the panels. Marissa Willingham, program associate for budgets and operations in the Office of Multicultural Affairs, will moderate the panel on campus issues, “What We Need To Be Talking About” at 4:15 on Saturday. The four panelists are: Biko Gray, assistant professor of religion; Ahlam Islam, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences; Danielle Schaf, a triple major in anthropology, forensic science and writing and rhetoric; and Hanz Valbuena, a senior television, radio and film major. Bea González, SU’s vice president of community engagement, will moderate the panel “Just Up the Block” at 5:15 p.m. on Saturday. Four of the panelists are members of the SU community: Syeisha Byrd, director of SU’s Office of Community Engagement; Tere Paniagua, executive director of the La Casita Cultural Center; Dina Eldawy, a senior international relations and citizenship and civic engagement major; and Jordan McGriff, who graduated in 2018. Azariah Yemma, program director of the Good Life Foundation, will also be on the panel. The Good Life Foundation is a Syracuse-based nonprofit that works to improve the quality of life for “at-risk” youth according to its website. The moderator and panelists for the second panel focusing on campus issues — “What We Need To Be Talking About” — have not been announced as of Tuesday night. SA representatives and cabinet members have criticized the planning, cost and content of “Cuse Can!” SA allocated $242,000 for the event, which was planned with University Union and the National Pan-Hellenic Council. Quincy Nolan resigned from their position as co-chair of SA’s Diversity Affairs Committee last week after criticizing “Cuse Can!” as “queerphobic.” Nolan said Pusha T has previously used homophobic slurs and that there was a lack of LGBTQ voices in planning the event. Nolan and Ryan Golden, cochair of the Student Affairs Committee and an SA presidential candidate, criticized SA leaders for not promoting the panels. cdarnell@syr.edu

Elizabeth Warren’s plan to break up big tech is good 1st step

E

lizabeth Warren has officially declared a war — she has come up with a plan to break up big tech companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook. Warren’s plan is fundamentally flawed and unlikely to be effective. But, it’s a step in the right direction. Warren argues that these technology giants have become too powerful and are using anti-competitive practices. That includes running marketplaces that make it harder for competitors to sell their products as well as using mergers and acquisitions to buy out smaller competitors. Warren’s plan is to designate companies as platform utilities if they offer an online marketplace or platform and have more than $25 billion in annual global revenue. These platform utilities wouldn’t be allowed to run a marketplace and simultaneously participate in it.

SANTIAGO HERNANDEZ

BUSINESS AS USUAL

So essentially, Amazon would no longer be allowed to sell their own products on the Amazon Marketplace. Instead, they would have to be split into two different companies. According to Lee McKnight, an associate professor at Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies, Warren’s plan should instead focus on changing the specific behavior of tech giants by updating and enforcing antitrust laws — something that the United States has lagged on for the past years. One way of doing this would be to look toward the European Union’s treatment of Google in which they fined the tech giant a total of $9.3 billion for violating antitrust laws

New Yorkers should support Maple Weekend

F

or the past two weekends, maple farmers and maple lovers alike have been celebrating Maple Weekend in New York state. Maple Weekend is organized by the PATRICK New York State PENFIELD Maple ProducTA K ES MON EY ers’ AssociaTO M A KE IT tion, which is the funded by members and the New York Department of Agriculture. Maple vendors and producers open up their farms and factories for customers to better understand the process of making and distributing maple syrup, tasting maple products made there. It’s important that New York continues to recognize the positive economic impacts of the maple industry. Learning about the industry through events like this is a great way to do just that. Maple syrup is a major player in New York’s economy. State maple producers are ranked second in the nation, generating an estimated $141 million per year. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has said that maple production in the state is thriving and it continues to be a driving force for the agricultural industry in New York. Participating in the event is a tangible way for community members to help support such a lucrative industry. Michael Spicer, who owns Cedar-

vale Maple Syrup Co., participated in the past week’s festivities. Spicer — a sophomore at Hamilton College — recently became involved with Cedarvale Maple, founded in 1977. According to Spicer, the company produces more than 400 gallons of maple syrup a year. Spicer said, “running a business and going to class is nuts.” He said he’s constantly on the phone talking to suppliers and family members who help run the business. Spicer’s devotion to the industry is one that can be mirrored by attending the festivities. During Maple Weekend, Cedarvale Maple offered tours, tree tapping demonstrations, a scavenger hunt and samples. As one of the closest maple producers to Syracuse University, Spicer said he believes that the proximity gives him a leg up in the Syracuse market. Regardless, Maple Weekend provides people with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with maple business they might not otherwise encounter. The Critz Farms Brewing & Cider Co.’s Maple Weekend celebration runs through Sunday. Supporting the maple industry comes at a minimal cost, so everyone should attend the celebrations.

and hurting competition. “Google has already promised reform in Europe, so we should expect to hold them to the same standard here in the U.S. Therefore, there is a roadmap from Europe on how to reign in the behavior of tech giants which regulators around the world will follow,” McKnight said. In focusing on the size and the market power of these tech companies, Warren’s plan aims to transform their overall structure via a one-size-fits all model. This is unlikely to be effective with today’s tech giants — each has an entirely different business model and can use different variations of anti-competitive strategies for their advantage. A structural change may also hurt consumers by disrupting the range of free services that are currently available to them. Warren’s plan is still a step in the right direction. Big tech

provides invaluable services to consumers, but they have largely been able to go unchecked. The U.S. fostered the growth of these tech giants, and it should therefore bear the responsibility

of making sure they follow antitrust laws.

branham found Newhouse’s next dean. “She was already giving us a sense of her leadership and of her strength,” Keller said. Branham oversaw the expansion of Newhouse’s communications programs since 2008, including the creation of the Newhouse Studio and Innovation Center, the Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship, the Newhouse Sports Media Center and the W20 Group Center for Social Commerce. She also helped create The NewsHouse, a student-run news site, and led an $18 million fundraising campaign to renovate the Newhouse 2 building. John Nicholson, a professor emeritus of broadcast and digital journalism, worked with Branham to create the Newhouse Sports Media Center in 2013. Nicholson said Branham appreciated the worth of sports journalism and always supported his efforts to improve Newhouse’s sports programs. He and Branham became friends through their work on the Newhouse Sports Media Center. “She had one of the world’s greatest from page 1

golden that others look to reform. But it’s their method of creating change, not settling for forums and seeking more action from students, that he said separates them from opponents. “We want to be the actor, and that means you can’t just sit there and listen,” Golden said. “You need to voice (student) concerns, you need to take what you hear to advocate that to the university.” Since the Obama rally, Golden has worked with the Democratic Party. As a junior in high school, he interned with then-Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts, and after that internship finished he became a research assistant for Roberts. His love of politics came from his grandmother, he said, who told him that a way to make it in the political arena is by helping oth-

laughs,” Nicholson said. “She could be tough as nails. She could be angry sometimes, but when you got her laughing, the whole room would laugh.” A vigil will be held in her honor at 3 p.m. in front of Hendricks Chapel on Wednesday, acting dean of Newhouse Amy Falkner said. Falkner, senior associate dean of Newhouse, was Branham’s right-hand woman. They spoke every day, whether it was a work day or not. Falkner said she admired Branham’s ability to strategically fundraise and lead a communications school with the heart of a journalist. Branham understood the current climate of journalism, and she pushed for innovative courses and plans to be ready for the future, Falkner said. “Journalism is not in trouble, and that’s because visionary leaders like Lorraine Branham have been seeing to it that it doesn’t happen,” Falkner said. Before coming to Newhouse as dean, Branham was a newspaper journalist who worked at The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and The Baltimore Sun. Branham was the director of the School of Journalism at the University of Texas at Austin when she was hired

to lead Newhouse. Garry Howard, director of corporate initiatives at American City Business Journals, met Branham when he started working as a sports copy editor at The Philadelphia Inquirer in 1987. Branham, a senior editor, immediately took him under her wing, he said. Howard said he hadn’t been coached by a woman, as there weren’t many women working in sports media. “Lorraine Branham just transcended gender,” Howard said. “She was tougher than nails.” Howard said he saw her nearly every year at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention, where she would introduce him to students that she felt were “coming up.” “I don’t think I would be where I am today or I would have enjoyed such a, what I’d call a pretty damn good career, without the help and the guidance of Lorraine Branham,” Howard said. Branham’s legacy also extends to the student body. DeArbea Walker, now of The Philadelphia Inquirer, remembered the times she sat in Branham’s office when she was a student. Walker came to her when she had prob-

lems with classes or finding internships because she knew that Branham would never sugarcoat a situation. That wasn’t her style, and Walker admired that. Branham was the main reason that Walker applied to Syracuse. She was the only person Walker found that was a black woman in charge of a communications school, and SU quickly became Walker’s top choice. She saw a mentor in Branham, like many students in Newhouse. When Walker had trouble in classes, she would email Branham asking to meet. When she graduated, the two kept in touch. Last year, Branham called Walker on a Sunday because of a typo in her resume. When Walker started at The Philadelphia Inquirer, Branham critiqued her first stories. “She was somebody who cared and was invested in all of the students that were at Newhouse,” Walker said. “We felt that, in some ways, Dean Branham can fix our problems. And she wasn’t that type of person, but she cared enough to tell you what to do and what to fix in situations.”

ers. Golden made an effort to be in SA before he even started at SU. He knew he wanted to be an SA representative, so Golden emailed the director of the Board of Elections the summer before his freshman year. He sent his petition to the Board, went before SA’s Assembly, and was informed later that he was the only unanimously elected candidate. This year, Golden is a resident adviser in Flint Hall, where residents on his floor helped him and Vick go door-to-door and gather signatures. When DPS sent emails on the night of Feb. 9 informing the campus that three students were assaulted along Ackerman Avenue, Golden sat in his room, worried. He knew that some of his residents had gone to that area. Soon after the assault, it became clear that it was three students of color who were assaulted and people began circulating peti-

tions online criticizing how the Syracuse Police Department and DPS handled the resulting investigation. Several students at a Feb. 18 forum called on SU to conduct a review of DPS — which is now one of Golden and Vick’s main campaign goals. “We share the dreams of a more inclusive campus,” said Quincy Nolan, Golden and Vick’s campaign manager. “That includes queer students, students of color, international students — there are a lot of oversights that are affecting those communities immensely.” Golden and Vick don’t have a campaign website. They felt it was easier to reach the student body through Facebook and Instagram accounts. Two weeks ago, when Pusha T, a rapper known to have used homophobic slurs, was announced as a part of “Cuse Can! It Starts With Us,” Golden and Vick wrote a Facebook

post condemning the event. They said they don’t want minority voices to be overlooked, and know that the first way that happens is through activism. As Golden sat that night inside Bojangles’ Coliseum, he thought about Obama’s speech. Obama talked about bringing more people to the table. Every cultural group and minority group wanted a say, and Obama campaigned to make that a priority, Golden said. More than a decade later, Golden said he wants to elevate the voices of students from marginalized communities at SU. “We want to take it in more of an activist direction, where we’re willing to protest things that we think are wrong,” Golden said. “We’re willing to call out the university, we’re willing to condemn the actions of the university.”

Alabama before she moved up and down the East Coast, eventually settling in Rochester when she was 12. Her middle school didn’t have student council, she said, and she experimented with it her first few years of high school. Her first “real” position was the student body president her senior year. That was when she organized the walkout toward the end of winter. “People always ask me where I’m from, and I’m like, ‘Can’t I just say Haven (Hall)? Can’t I just say the Dome,” Vick said. “This is the first place that’s really felt like home.” Vick is the only vice presidential candidate this election cycle who currently serves in SA, which she sees as an advantage because she knows how SA works. Vick has spent her first year in SA as the director of relations with the Department of Public Safety. One of the primary concerns for her and Golden is a possible review of DPS. SU students and SA as an organization have called on the university to conduct a review of DPS’ bias and sensitivity training. Last October, during a meeting of SA’s Diversity Affairs Committee, Vick met the future campaign manager for her and Golden’s campaign, Quincy Nolan. Nolan resigned from their position as co-chair of diversity affairs last week after criticizing an upcoming campus event as “queerphobic.” Nolan and Golden have said there was a lack of LGBTQ in the planning of “Cuse Can! It Starts With Us,” which will bring rapper Pusha T to campus for a concert. Vick said she was the first person to come out as openly gay in her school when she was 12. Her senior year, she said people approached her and said that what she did in seventh grade meant so much for their “coming out journey.”

to persevere. “They didn’t rip the shirts off our backs, we didn’t get shot, nothing terrible happened,” Vick said. “We went out for half an hour, we spoke our minds and advocated for what we believed in.” Now, Vick and running mate Ryan Golden bring that same mindset to their campaign for Student Association vice president and president, respectively. The two want a larger voice for marginalized students as an avenue for activism to constructively bring change. Too often, Vick and Golden said, issues brought up by students are set aside.

There’s a need for change in the way Student Association operates, Vick said, and she and Golden are willing to lead it. Their campaign slogan is “A New Direction.” “Other campaigns are continuing a legacy that doesn’t exactly try to include everyone,” Vick said. “We are putting Syracuse University in a new direction by focusing on enabling and benefiting marginalized students and marginalized groups.” Vick grew up with teenage parents in from page 3

Honing their craft These SU students have found a voice through poetry

T

hanks to T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Waste Land,� April has been notoriously known as the “cruelest month of the year.� But his infamous words have also given April another title: National Poetry Month. To begin the month-long celebration of poetry on campus, here are three student poets who have found themselves through the power of words. While some of the students admire famous poets and slam poets such as Sylvia Plath and Sarah Kay, each of them have found their own voice and told their own stories with poetry as their guiding medium.

Lianza Reyes

Growing up the Philippines, Lianza Reyes would often visit her friends’ ancestral home, a house that has been passed down in a family through generations. Usually, this home served as the go-to for family events — but more importantly, it became a piece of family history and heritage. While growing up, Reyes’ family did not have a home of their own. So, Reyes decided to build one out of poetry. Earlier this year, Reyes self-published an audio book titled, “Ancestral Home,� which explores themes of self-love, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and PTSD. The 16-track audio book describes a journey to self-acceptance through her adolescent years. “Ancestral Home� is currently on sale for $8 on Bandcamp, and 10% of the proceeds will go to the Committee to Protect Journalists, a nonprofit organization. The remainder of the profits will partially fund Reyes’ senior year at Syracuse University. “There are so many places that I call home, but there is not one significant place that I really saw as the ancestral home that came from my family line,�

$ ĂŹ # released her self-published audio poetry book “Ancestral Homesâ€? earlier this year.

Reyes said. “The idea was that I had to create my own ancestral home.� The junior broadcast and digital journalism major said she first began writing poetry in elementary school as a coping mechanism against school bullies. During high school, poetry became essential to Reyes as she transferred schools and struggled with self-esteem and love throughout her adolescence. At age 17, she compiled all of her writings from age 14 into her first book, “An Inaccurate Self-Portrait.� The self-published book helped fund her first year at SU. Last year, Reyes worked as a residential adviser for the former Poets Learning Community. She hosted writing sessions and listened to the work of the 12 students who were part of the residential community. Through her experiences, Reyes said she has found inspiration in those around her, adding that she is inspired by the college women that she has met over the years. Despite their varying backgrounds, Reyes admires one thing they all have in common. “Despite their difference in identity and despite their vast difference in experience, they always seem to be similar in how they carry themselves. They always seem to want to continue to do their passion no matter what,� she said. “That is my main inspiration in my poetry today and how I carry myself. They’re growing, and they’re inspiring me to grow as well.�

Danielle Guerrier

Danielle Guerrier always found writing to be a solitary activity. But it wasn’t until she found a community of poets at SU that she realized the importance of incorporating others into the process. Guerrier is a graduate student in the department of cultural foundations of education in the School of Education at SU. She said that poetry has been a means for her to process the world around her, incorporating themes of race, education and mass incarceration into her work. Guerrier attended Cornell University for her undergraduate degree

Black Box Players to present ‘Circle Mirror Transformation’ By Haley Robertson feature editor

On the second story of the Syracuse Stage/SU Drama Complex is a small black box theater seating no more than 50 patrons. The venue, which can be rearranged to accommodate for a wide range of performances, is now fitted with faux-wooden flooring and large mirrors to simulate a dance studio. Black Box Players, a student-run

theater organization on campus, opens its production of Annie Baker’s “Circle Mirror Transformation� Friday night. The play follows five strangers as they participate in a creative drama class. The instructor, Marty, leads the group through various drama games and exercises in a dance studio in the fictional town of Shirley, Vermont. Playing the role of Marty is Kat Eaton, a junior acting major. The script is hyper-realistic, Eaton

said, with scenes that showcase the characters’ vulnerability and make the audience feel like they are participating in the class with them. She noted director Crystal Heller’s immense attention to detail — everything seen on stage was chosen for a specific reason. Heller, a junior theatre management major, first read “Circle Mirror Transformation� after stumbling upon an anthology of Baker’s works in Boston last spring.

“It just struck me as a story that I felt like other people weren’t telling in this way,� Heller said, regarding her first impressions of the script. Baker’s writing is more naturalistic than some other modern playwrights, she added, with dialogue that makes the story easy for audiences to connect with. This production is Heller’s first time directing a full show. She started brainstorming casting ideas as early as July before pitching the show

to Black Box Players in the fall. To Heller, the script lends itself to The Loft Theatre performance space — a small, 49-seat black box theater in the Syracuse Stage/SU Drama Complex. Since using breakable, glass mirrors for the set posed a safety hazard, the crew used mirror plexiglass to line the back wall of the stage. Shannon Bagoly, the show’s lighting designer, said having such large mirrors was challenging. see black

poetry and volunteered in the Cornell Prison Education Program, where she learned about topics such as prison reform, education and re-entry. Through her graduate studies at SU, she is continuing to research and write about prison reform and education within the United States. “My poetry is a way for me to process the work that I am doing and the information that I’m learning in regard to this work,” Guerrier said. Although she is navigating heavy topics in her writing now, Guerrier began writing early on, describing her middle school writing process as just being between her and the paper. At SU, she is a member of Verbal Blend, a poetry program organized through the Office of Multicultural Affairs. She no longer finds writing to be a solitary activity, instead making it an experience she shares with her peers. Verbal Blend, created in 2007, aims to highlight student writing as well as hosting a seven-week writers workshop, open mics and poetry slams. Verbal Blend’s annual “Take the Mic” poetry slam will take place on April 11 in Schine Underground. The slam will also feature Tai Allen, a Brooklyn-based poet and musician. Students will also participate in an open mic at Paine Branch Library on April 29. “I think that Verbal Blend offers a community to students and is a place where they can write but write with other people, and share from page 7

black box “The show takes place in a windowless dance studio with gigantic mirrors, which is a lighting designer’s nightmare,” she said, since the light reflects in such a small space and can be blinding to the audience. To navigate the mirrors, Bagoly researched various dance studios and analyzed their lighting. She was also inspired by different artwork and explored differ-

different issues and things that are affecting them in a very personal way,” Guerrier said. “I think that poetry allows students to focus on being vulnerable with each other.” Cedric Bolton, coordinator of student engagement in the Office of Multicultural Affairs and founder of Verbal Blend, built that sense of community through poetry over the years. As a slam poet himself, Bolton said he finds that spaces for students on campus to share their work is crucial for the development of young poets. “Through the spoken word poetry, you’re building a community,” he said. “Students are trusting the friends that they built in those communities and are also vulnerable to sharing things that they normally wouldn’t tell within a classroom.” Guerrier also described the lasting impressions this organization has left on other who came before her. This past year, several alumni of the Verbal Blend program returned to campus to speak with current members. During that time, Guerrier said she felt the support of this poetry community grow. “Something that I think about is Verbal Blend’s legacy and the people who have been a part of the program before me,” she said, “And I know there will be a lot of people who will be a part of the program after me. I really appreciate being a part of this family and being a part of this legacy and to see the ways in which poetry has kind of connected all of us.” Sophomore Julia Catalano has always admired the characters of Washington Square

Park, who sit alongside park benches and offer up their talents. Last summer, she joined a selected bunch with a simple sign that read: “Ask me for personalized poems.” She had begun the summer with plans to perform an original play with a few friends in public spaces such as Washington Square Park. When plans fell through, she found that she wanted to perform in a space near her home in Staten Island. Catalano, a theater management major, realized she could make a pretty decent amount of money off of tips from strangers, and returned to the park multiple times over the summer to pen poems for strangers. At first, Catalano’s mother, Deborah, was concerned to have her daughter camp out in Washington Square Park, but later eased into the idea. “At first, I was nervous about it because I went to NYU,” Deborah said. “Back in the 80s, it was a little more sketchy. Once I went with her and saw it for myself, I was on board with it.” “It helped me hone my craft and really held me accountable to my writing,” Catalano said. “It made me a quicker thinker and less of doubting myself or holding myself back.” One poem Catalano remembers writing was about a couple who met on an airplane. They were spending the one-year anniversary of their engagement where the proposal occurred: Washington Square Park. They told Catalano the story of how they met, when the woman was working as a flight attendant on a delayed plane the man was aboard.

Other times, she would sit by the playground and write poetry about the children she met. With her little pieces of art, she earned about an average of $80 a day. “It was a really healing experience,” Catalano said. “Just being able to give your art to people and share it with people.” Deborah remembers Catalano’s knack for writing from a young age. “She had clear writing talent since she was very young,” Deborah said. “I remember back in elementary school her teachers would always tell me that she is a very gifted writer.” This past semester, Catalano has produced and compiled some of her work into a chapbook, a DIY short book that is common among poets. She is selling the chapbook, titled “The Children” for $5 starting April 20. “I think it is just a good way to process my feelings,” Catalano said. “Whatever is going on, if I can write something that I am proud of about it, it’s good to let it out that way.” Catalano is also a member of Verbal Blend, and said Bolton has been a huge influence on her writing and an important mentor to her in her poetry journey. She also said the space that Verbal Blend has created for poets to share their work has become a fundamental part of her college experience and for others. “I think spoken word poetry is just a really powerful tool to have in your life,” Catalano said. “Writing poetry in general really is so cathartic and lets you take in the world and your experience and have a voice about it.”

ent color options. The cast and crew are currently in tech week rehearsals, where Bagoly has been working to fine tune the lighting design along with the timing of the show. Throughout the rehearsal process, Heller said it has been important to keep the atmosphere fun and playful. The script is rooted in theater and improvisation exercises, she said, so the plot is extremely realistic for the cast. “They have to be always playing, and if they

are overthinking what they’re doing too much, then it looks rehearsed,” she said, “and it can’t look rehearsed. It has to look real.” Jacob Rosen, who plays the character Schultz, said he has loved working with a student director and a smaller cast. He said the stakes are high for student-run projects, so getting to be part of the start of someone’s artistic journey is a beautiful thing. In “Circle Mirror Transformation,” the audience is the silent member of the class

that’s taking place on stage, Rosen said. The show asks a lot of questions instead of answering them, he added, exploring ideas of life, death and the passing of time. “The idea that one of these days, you will step into some place for the last time. You will see someone for the last time and not know it,” Rosen said. “So exploring these little moments in life and how they can affect you later on, whether or not you realize it.”

#ĂŹ ĂŹ I JĂŹ and his business partner, Kevin Williams, opened Willow Rock Brewery in November 2015. The total number of breweries in the United States has doubled in the last three years.

Tap into business Growth of microbrewery industry leads to creativity, innovation Story and photos by Josh Schafer senior staff writer

S

ince Rockney Roberts and Kevin Williams began planning their own business more than a decade ago, the population of breweries in Syracuse has more than tripled. In 2008, Syracuse had two breweries and by the time Roberts and Williams were licensed there were three. In November 2015, the duo opened Willow Rock Brewing Company as the seventh brewery in the area. The Brewers Association’s most recent statistics, released in 2017, reveals a growth from 2,475 to 6,596, more than doubling, in breweries nationwide from 2012 to 2017. The bulk of that growth came in the craft sector of beer production, specifically in brewpubs and microbreweries. As the market of craft beer expands seemingly exponentially, it’s the variety in brews that will provide consumers with many options this Sunday for National Beer Day. “As a consumer I think it’s really exciting,� Roberts said, “because you can go into a place and regardless of the labels that are on something and say ‘hey, maybe I’ll like that. I’ll give it a shot,’ because you know everybody’s interpretation is going to be different. The first stand-alone brewery in Syracuse, Middle Ages Brewing Company, opened in 1995. The business gained popularity through its English malted barley and it’s blue and orange branded “Syracuse Pale Ale.� When other breweries formed, they diversified. A blind taste conducted by Paste Magazine ranked Mass Riot, an American India Pale Ale produced by Prison

City Pub and Brewery, as the No. 6 beer of its kind nationally in 2016. The beer follows the New England IPA format that brewers say has dominated their taprooms. While the beer provides the hints of haziness and juiciness drinkers love to ask for, said co-founder and coowner Marc Schulz, the beer’s aftertaste provides a slight bitterness reminiscent of “old school� IPAs. “Ever since (the award) it’s pretty much the one beer that people literally come through the door asking about,� Schulz said. “And it’s funny to us we have several other New England style IPAs that we usually prefer more.� The beer has added to the “brewpub experience� at Prison City, said Schulz. The brewery also provides its own menu. Schulz, who previously worked in the restaurant business, thinks the food options separate his business from breweries that only have taprooms. When Prison City finishes its expansion project for a larger production facility, Schulz hopes to increase from 750 barrels to 5,000 — hopefully reaching 10,000 eventually. Schulz joked that the space could be called “the Mass Riot brewery,� noting it will focus heavily on producing the popular brew while brewers will continue to experiment in the smaller original space. Roberts and Williams have their own IPAs at Willow Rock. Their “Half In the Bag� IPA sells well alongside “Congress,� an original Syracuse craft lager that was discontinued in the 1960s. The Onondaga Historical Association approached the brewery to revive the beer and Roberts added a successful American-style twist to the original German brew.

Willow Rock revived the “Congress� beer, an original Syracuse craft lager that was originally discontinued in the 1960s.

“It’s a fun lager that really harkens to the rich brewing history in Syracuse,� Roberts said. At Buried Acorn Brewing Company, which opened this past fall, co-founder Tim Shore also has IPAs. He jokes they’re what keeps the lights on. Though it’s a top seller, he thinks the concept of “hazy and juicy IPAs� are too abundant. On a mural in the taproom the latin word “nubilum in ebrietatem� is inscribed on a gravestone, which translates to “cloudy beer.� Buried Acorn is a farm brewery, meaning more than 60% of its ingredients are grown locally. While Scandinavian yeast adds a different dynamic to many of his beers, Shore also brews his

beers in wine barrels. Ghoster Blanc, a wine aged golden ale, contains Sauvignon Blanc yeast. In other brews, the oak, mixed with other organisms within the beer, can create apricot or hay type flavor which develops over the eightmonth average aging process. Shore wants to expand his barrel collection from 50 to 1,000. The use of wine barrels to create beer takes more time than processing it in stainless steel barrels, Shore said. It’s worth the wait to differentiate. “We try do things traditionally but also our own way,� Shore said through a smile. “Traditionally different kind of.� jlschafe@syr.edu

smothered his mark. Aslanian came into Tuesday’s game with 26 assists and half as many goals. He finished with 26 assists and half as many goals. He was left moving side to side from the X, flipping passes to teammates outside the numbers. Locking off the source of so many assists forced Hobart’s other goal scorers to fare for themselves, hunting for space against SU’s close defenders and defensive midfielders. Even when attackers found a sliver of space, Porter nullified their efforts. A game removed from being benched in favor of Luke Strang following an 11-goal, six-save half against Notre Dame, Porter parried 16 total shots, including 10 in the first half. As the Hobart offense peppered Porter with shot after shot — 18 in the first quarter — he turned them away. “I honestly think the goalie got us thinking a little bit,” Raymond said. “And we got a little haywire with some of our possessions.” The defense that came out “flat-footed” over the weekend started hot and ended hot-

ter on Tuesday. After forcing a turnover on Bradley Simas with the score freshly tied at five, the Orange pushed the ball ahead and took a 6-5 lead.

night. Bradley Voigt and Jacob Buttermore each tallied hat tricks. Nate Solomon and Stephen Rehfuss each dished three assists. And a revamped pregame routine prevented another slow-start for the Orange. After 15 minutes two weeks ago, the Orange were down 4-2 to Duke. Two days ago, SU stared at a nine-goal deficit versus the Fighting Irish. Facing the Statesmen’s multi-faceted offense, Syracuse knew it couldn’t afford another early deficit. And despite 17 turnovers, the unit did enough to win its rivalry game for a 31st time. “We’ve struggled in a few games in the first half, so I thought we improved on that,” Desko said. “... Some of the things we worked on this week were getting better earlier. And then trying to continue things that we’ve done in the second half. So we’re able to do that.”

So before the game, the Orange shot at different colored patches in the corners of the goal but then changed it up. Four defenders in white pullovers guarded Syracuse’s crease. SU attack in blue jerseys passed around them, eyeing openings and lofting shots. The goal was to get attack “comfortable,” Voigt said. To open the scoring, Solomon threaded a pass to Rehfuss across the zone, giving SU the lead. Later in the frame, Brendan Curry fed Jamie Trimboli down the middle of Hobart’s defense. While Desko mentioned that the Orange started “a little slow,” the improved routine worked partially on Tuesday night. “Sometimes if you put too much of an emphasis on something,” Desko said of the early-game struggles, “then they’ll go out and maybe try to force some things.” A more patient offense emerged in the second quarter. Buttermore and midfielder

David Lipka darted through Hobart’s zone and registered goals. Voigt added a pair before getting his third following halftime. After Desko stressed for weeks that slow starts were an issue that demanded fixing, the Orange carried a two-goal lead into halftime. After the break, Syracuse again displayed the in-game adjustments that’s carried it at times this season. While the defense held the Statesmen scoreless in the second half, the offense added pressure by scoring nearly each time it wrangled possession. Increased ball movement and spacing triggered another offensive run. The Orange ran out on fast breaks, something Hobart spent the majority of game trying to do itself. Defenders Brett Kennedy and Tyson Bomberry ventured into the midfield on clears, sparking quick passes. With 13:12 left in the third quarter, Voigt slid near the crease and swung a shot home to put

SU up three. Later in the frame, he picked off Hobart goalie Sam Lucchesi and ripped home the Orange’s 13th score, sending some fans down the bleacher steps and toward the exit. “Something we talked about all week,” Raymond said of Voigt’s second goal. “... Right then you start to see our game plan break down a little bit.” More fans left their seats after Jakob Phaup (13-of-20) won the next face-off. Another handful departed when Curry got on the board. By the fourth quarter, reserves rotated through. Postgame, Voigt sat and reflected on the warmup change that eventually turned into Syracuse’s best single-game performance of the season. “I think it worked out really well,” Voigt said of the switch before glancing at Desko and smirking. “I think we should do it going forward.”

became “ball seven” without pause.

though. Once the Orange began the “three balls” chant on Wednesday, Niagara’s bench retaliated with chants of its own at SU pitcher Alexa Romero. And Notre Dame fans on Saturday, having complained prior, all moved directly behind home plate in the top of the sixth inning to go after Romero, too. “She can’t throw two strikes in a row,” one fan said. “We can get in her head,” he shouted. Romero said she ignores the chants when she’s on the mound. But when she’s in the dugout, she’s often the most vocals. No one player typically leads the chants, but pitchers like Romero and Sophie Dandola are often more engaged than others. “It was all of ours collectively,” Teran said. “All of the coaches love us cheering, they want us to get in the pitchers head, they love it.”

During a full count, the Orange will often repeatedly chant, “Walk,” “Walk,” “Walk,” at a quickening pace. They cheer wildly whenever a batter earns a walk, which SU did 10 times in two games on Saturday against Notre Dame. But when their own hitters come up, the Orange have special chants of encouragement for each of them. The negative comments toward the opposing pitcher are sprinkled in. And Doepking doesn’t care what the chants are, she said, as long as the dugout is making noise, she knows the team is active. “When (the dugout) gets very quiet, it’s very easy to think about everything else,” Doepking said. “As long as they’re engaged.” “It makes me laugh over at third base.”

statesmen last 26 matchups between the two — in the echelons of college lacrosse. And on Tuesday, the Orange reaffirmed that. Syracuse dominated the Statesmen defensively, shutting out Hobart in the second half. Prior to Tuesday, the Statesmen scored at least one goal in every quarter played. “To come here and really dominate the game was very good for us,” attack Bradley Voigt said. On the first possession of the game, Hobart’s high-powered offense whipped the ball around. As SU’s defense morphed out of shape and shooting lanes widened, a skip pass flew across the Orange’s offensive zone into defender Nick Mellen’s stick, jumpstarting the offense. That possession turned into a Stephen Rehfuss goal 33 seconds later. Matched on attack Chris Aslanian, the Statesmen’s leading facilitator, Mellen from page 12

trash talk two of Saturday’s doubleheader against Notre Dame, UND’s Morgan Ryan struggled to find the strike zone. Down 3-0 in the count to Toni Martin, Ryan looked to her dugout for the pitch. But from the Orange dugout, the entire Syracuse bench shouted. “Three balls!” “Three balls!” “Three balls!” they yelled while motioning one arm forward. The fourth pitch sailed high. Martin walked to first as the Syracuse dugout erupted in more cheers. Ryan continued to misfire on the mound, and the number of consecutive balls increased by one each time. Eventually, it got to seven-straight, and the Orange let Ryan know. Chants of “ball six” immediately

It’s hilarious. I think those kinds of things keep this game fun. If you look at the game of baseball, the game is really fun because there’s a lot of heckling, that’s part of the game. Shannon Doepking

The trash talk doesn’t go unreciprocated,

Number of goals Hobart averaged per game before it was held to five against SU on Tuesday night

The Statesmen didn’t score another goal, getting shut out for the final 37:44. All the while, Syracuse kept turning its defense into offense. Seven times, within a minute of a Hobart turnover, the Orange scored a goal. There was Mellen’s early takeaway kickstarting the break and Simas’s fumble in the

offensive zone, tied at five. Voigt rubbed Hobart’s nose in it with less than 10 minutes to play. After turning it over to Sam Lucchesi, the Statesmen’s goalie, Voigt stuck his stick up in the air. Lucchesi’s attempted clear went right into the head of Voigt’s stick. Standing on the edge of the crease, suddenly in possession, Voigt calmly wrapped his stick around the left side of his neck and poked in a behind-the-back shot. At that point, the remaining smattering of Hobart fans trudged to the exits. It was the performance Desko had been yearning for after a comeback finally fell short. The Orange finally got stung for their slow starts and, at least for one night, looks to have learned their lesson. It’s also a reminder that even on its own field, Syracuse dominates Hobart. “All in all, a very good day for Syracuse lacrosse,” Desko said. aegraham@syr.edu | @A_E_Graham

Syracuse offense’s 12-0 run ends game By Nick Alvarez

asst. sports editor

GENEVA — With 8:02 left in the third quarter, a jacketed Syracuse player peeled away from a huddle, heard House of Pain’s “Jump Around” blaring through Urick Stadium and hopped twice. As the huddle broke, two more Orange reserves shimmied back to their spot on the sideline.

STEPHEN REHFUSS scored the opening goal Tuesday against Hobart and added another later in the first half. He also tallied three assists for a game-high five points as the Orange retained the Kraus-Simmons Trophy. courtesy of su athletics

Start to finish SU keeps Hobart scoreless in second half, smashes long-time rival in 17-5 win

By Andrew Graham senior staff writer

G

ENEVA — Hobart and Syracuse’s strengths are inherently at odds. The firepower of the Statesmen’s lacrosse team lies in its No. 2 nationally ranked offense. The Orange’s core is their deep and experienced defensive unit. One had to prevail over the other and both coaches — Syracuse’s John Desko and Hobart’s Greg Raymond — knew it. “If you don’t understand that you’ve gotta beat some guys, your offense won’t click,” Raymond told The Daily Orange on Monday. “So we’ve got to find a happy

medium there and make sure that we are understanding how to move that defense.” No. 20 Hobart (8-2, 2-0 Northeast) scored a season-low five goals in a 17-5 loss to No. 11 Syracuse (6-3, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) at Urick Stadium. Following three-straight comeback wins and, finally, too big a hole to overcome in a loss to Notre Dame on Saturday, Desko was flummoxed by his team’s seeming inability to start games as hot as it had been finishing them. But three days removed from an 11-goal first-half blistering at the hands of the Irish, Syracuse held the second-highest scoring offense in college lacrosse to just five goals. As a result, the Orange hung onto the Kraus-

Simmons Trophy for the sixth-straight year and captured Desko’s 250th career win. “Especially in the second half,” Desko said, “when we started to pull away, a lot of that had to do with Drake (Porter) and the defense.” Syracuse and Hobart played for the Kraus-Simmons Trophy 33 times prior to Tuesday, the Statesmen winning thrice — the only win at home came in 1986, the first year of the trophy. The Orange have held it since 2014. The chalice represents more than just central New York lacrosse bragging rights. It stands for Hobart’s position beneath Syracuse — the winner of 24 of the see statesmen page 10

We’ve struggled in a few games in the first half, so I thought we improved on that … Some of the things we worked on this week were getting better earlier. John Desko

syracuse head coach

It was easy to celebrate their mostrecent scoring run — an extended 12-goal stretch that was at six scores at the time. But this one was different, if only slightly. This one secured the Kraus-Simmons Trophy and SU head coach John Desko’s 250th win. For the 2019 season, it showed that the Orange can put away an opponent rather than catch up to one. “It felt like everything went their way from the middle of that second quarter on,” Hobart head coach Greg Raymond said. “You look at these stats, there’s not a ton of discrepancy. ... I think they scored goals when they had opportunities.” Challenging the second-best offense in the country (16.11 goals per game), No. 11 Syracuse (6-3, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) completed its second-best offensive showing of the season. Its 17 goals, 10 of which were the only scores of the second half, led it past No. 20 Hobart (8-2, 2-0 Northeast), 17-5, on Tuesday see offense page 10

Syracuse has used trash talk to win more games this season By Anthony Dabbundo asst. copy editor

During a mound visit against Niagara last Wednesday, a handful of Syracuse players began singing along to the “Jeopardy” theme song in the dugout. In unison, the entire SU bench joined. Head coach Shannon Doepking turned toward the dugout from her position at third base and laughed. From the stands, Niagara parents and fans complained: “That’s a classy team,” one said sarcastically. “Who’s their coach?” one asked. “The apple doesn’t fall too far from

the tree.” While it’s hard to quantify if Syracuse’s taunting affects opposing teams, Doepking encourages the talk, the players enjoy it and Syracuse (14-19, 4-5 Atlantic Coast) embraces the chants. Shouting and jeering in between at-bats and mound pitches during SU’s first home stand have played a part in a stretch of five wins in six games. As the wins continue, its decibel levels in the dugout increase. “It’s hilarious,” Doepking said of SU’s dugout antics. “I think those kinds of things keep this game fun. If you look at the game of baseball,

the game is really fun because there’s a lot of heckling, that’s part of the game. You don’t see it as much in softball.” The Orange played their first 29 games on the road, but their voices traveled with them. No matter where SU was, they emphasized the taunting, something not previously done under former head coach Mike Bosch, sophomore Gabby Teran said. Now playing at home, the Orange have said they are more comfortable because of travel schedules and playing on their home field. In game see trash
