SA to vote on funding free STI testing for students By Chris Hippensteel staff writer

Student Association will vote Monday on renewing its partnership with Syracuse University’s Health Services to provide students with free testing for sexually transmitted infections. Michelle Goode, a health promotion specialist at SU, and Tara Kielty, peer educator, spoke about the Get Yourself Tested program

in a presentation at SA’s Sept. 9 meeting. Shortly after, SA President Mackenzie Mertikas and Vice President Sameeha Saied formally proposed a measure that would fund the initiative with $5,000 for the fall semester. “We want students to be able to get tested without being concerned about who’s going to see it on their insurance, or who’s going to know about it,” said Mertikas. “That is why we have continued to fund

(this program).” Get Yourself Tested would provide free STI screenings to SU students on four occasions throughout the year, splitting evenly between the fall and spring semesters. Each testing window will include sessions from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, with 75 tests available each day. Students usually take advantage of all 150 available testing spots, Mertikas said.

If approved, the partnership would be renewed for its third consecutive year. SA began funding the program two years ago after another organization dropped out. Last year, SA contributed $5,000 to Get Yourself Tested between the fall and spring semesters, with the university matching with an additional $15,000. Mertikas said last Monday that she

Nearly 400 New York landlords met Tuesday to discuss lobbying in Albany to add amendments to a recently passed state housing law. The Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 passed through the New York State Legislature on June 14, providing tenants with protections from evictions and landlord mistreatment. For activist groups, the law was considered a monumental effort to further tenants’ rights. Both unlawful evictions and tenant blacklists were made illegal under the law. Though activists saw the legislation as a step forward, the New York Capital Region Apartment Association knew prior to the law’s passage that it would alter how the real estate industry functioned, said Jaime Cain, an attorney for the Rochester law firm Boylan Code and a board member of the association. “It was evident in April when we heard the rumblings of this that from a legal standpoint, there would need to be clear changes to leases, to the operational process of eviction, to the application process,” Cain said. The meeting took place at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona. Cain, who was a keynote speaker at the event, believed the final head count of attendees totaled 390. The group plans to lay out four to five action items to propose to legislators, Cain said. The items would be proposed from the protective stances of both landlords and tenants, she said. “We don’t want to go into Albany making demands, we want to go into Albany making change,” Cain said. Cain said the gathering’s message was that the group needs to hold “unscrupulous” landlords accountable, work with tenant associations and recognize that some landlords are unaware of the law’s passage. “Our goal is to affect change on behalf of both tenants and landlords, recognizing that landlords need to be able to run their businesses a certain way, and tenants need to be able to gain housing,” she said. Under the law, tenants facing eviction now have two weeks before they can be forced to vacate the property and can request a twoweek adjournment at eviction court. If a tenant is evicted for breaking the terms of their lease, the court must also delay the eviction by 30 days to allow the tenant the opportunity to resolve the problems. Prior to the law’s passage, a landlord could begin an eviction see landlords page 4

Maxwell to study city immigrant community By Leah Dunne staff writer

Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs is conducting a study to examine issues within Syracuse’s immigrant and refugee populations. The study will focus on five major themes: housing, health, education, recreation and workforce participation. Maxwell’s Syracuse Community Geography program is conducting the study. The study began at the end of the spring 2019 semester and is expected to conclude next summer, said Jonnell Robinson, director of the community program. She and Jamie Winders, a geography pro-

fessor, are leading the study. They spent the summer assembling their research team — which consists of four undergraduate students and one graduate student — and conducting a literature review. “We’re at that complicated phase of taking the kinds of things that we’ve looked at and beginning to talk and interact with community stakeholders,” Winders said of the research team’s work. The team hopes to speak with representatives from every community in Syracuse, Robinson said. An issue with that, however, is ensuring that research materials such as surveys are distributed in the language that each respective community speaks, Winders added.

The city of Syracuse has Burmese, Bhutanese, Iraqi and Cuban immigrants and refugees, among others, Robinson said. The city has received refugees from about 20 countries within the last decade, she said. Christine Larsen, a member of SU’s Board of Trustees, and her family are funding the study. As of June, they have contributed $110,000 to fund the study, according to a press release from Maxwell. Larsen was compelled to fund the study because of the growing number of refugees residing in Syracuse, according to the release. It is estimated that there are between 12,000 to 15,000 refugees in Syracuse. Winders and Robinson hope to complete most of their key inter-

views by January 2020 so they can begin to go through their research and transcripts. A part of both the study and the Community Geography program is to engage undergraduate students in the research process and allow them to learn through working with the community, Winders said. Robinson said that because of this component, the study is a learning process for all those involved. Although they are unsure of how their final research will be published, Winders said the team’s primary goal is to share their findings with the communities they studied to help them address problems they are facing. lkdunne@syr.edu

Construction continues on Salt City Market By Sarah Alessandrini contributing writer

Construction of the Salt City Market, an indoor food hall at the corner of South Salina Street and Onondaga Street, will begin in the next two weeks. The five-story building will sit a few blocks from the Centro bus hub and across the street from the Marriott Syracuse Downtown. The first floor, a 24,000 square-foot space, will include a grocery store, a café and brewery, a child’s play space and ten food stalls.

The food hall is projected to open in November 2020. Maarten Jacobs serves as director of community prosperity at the Allyn Family Foundation, which owns the land and the building. He said the food hall will be unique to the city. “There’s no other place where you’ll have ten restaurants like that all in one spot that are all locally run,” said Adam Sudmann, who will manage the Salt City Market. Sudmann called the chosen site a “crossroads” for the South and Westside neighborhoods — “two significant, powerful communities that

have not been celebrated enough and have a lot of talent,” he said. Sudmann was the founder of My Lucky Tummy, a series of pop-up, home-cooked food events that featured cuisine from all over the world. He said he moved to Syracuse about seven years ago after finding an incredible amount of culinary talent that he didn’t see in other cities. He has been working with design and outreach for the project, which has included recruiting possible vendors. An event will take place on Oct. 19 to try out vendors. The food hall project has been

in the works for about two and a half years, said Margaret “Meg” O’Connell, executive director of the Allyn Family Foundation. The idea originated about five years ago, when community members and leaders realized that Syracuse has talent, but not a venue they can be a part of, she said. The vision for the project is economic development and opportunity for new vendors. Rent and leases will be low because the project aims to make living in the building affordable, she said. scalessa@syr.edu

intelligence Ethical Intelligence Community Professionals, or PER/SUADE. It will partner with four other universities, one of which is a historically black university. “Just the fact that we have students from all around the world, where else can you find that much diversity with people that are academically minded?” Mohammad said of SU. In 2004, the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act mandated increased diversity in the intelligence field. A year later, the national IC-CAE program began, which focuses on students from underrepresented groups, women, students with disabilities, students from rural areas and military students. According to a 2018 report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, racial minorities make up about 26% of intelligence community employees. Women make up 39% percent of intelligence community employees, and people with disabilities make up 11%. “The goal of the grant is to diversify the pipeline going into the federal government from page 1

landlords proceeding and have the warrant served within the same month the action was brought in, Cain said. This process has been extended under the law, with it now being about three months before a landlord can have their property back, she added. “That’s the frustration of landlords,” Cain said. “They’re frustrated and they’re concerned that they’re not going to be able to make money or prosper, or themselves have the ability to live when there’s no money coming in for that many months.” About a month before the legislation’s passage, Cain and Judd Feinman, the former president of the NYCRAA, contacted Jackson Lewis law firm to be advised on the process of lobbying to prevent the bill’s passage, Cain said. The association spent $10,000 on Jackson Lewis lobbyists in June, according to the Albany Business Review.

and the national security fields,” said Corri Zoli, director of research at the Institute for National Security and Counter Terrorism. “We looped in diversity in very cutting edge and innovative ways, so that diversity is not just ethnicity or demographic diversity.” Over the course of five years, the SU program will add a major, minor and certificate of advanced study, as well as graduate and doctorate degrees, said Vice Admiral Robert Murrett, deputy director of INSCT. Two of the program’s classes will be available for undergraduates in spring 2020, said Murrett. SU’s program includes 10 “work streams,” or disciplines, related to the intelligence field. About 20 faculty and staff from different schools, colleges and offices across campus will be part of the program’s education initiative. “The goal is curricular,” Michael Marciano, associate director for research for the Forensic National Security Science Institute at SU, said. “It’s to educate future employees of the intelligence community, and the real focus in that is diversity.” There are currently 28 schools with intelligence community designations. Eight uniThough the law was passed, the NYCRAA is continuing to work with Jackson Lewis to add amendments to the legislation, Cain said. It is unclear whether several university neighborhood housing providers attended the meeting. Syracuse Quality Living did not provide comment in time for publication. O.P.R. Developers denied a request for comment. The owners of University Hill Apartments and Campus Hill Apartments were not made available for an interview. Ben Tupper, owner of Rent From Ben, a housing company that rents to Syracuse University and SUNY-ESF students, said prior to the meeting that one his employees would be attending the event with his son. Most of the law’s provisions have never impacted Tupper because of the way he runs his business, Tupper said. Rent From Ben has provided housing to more than 13,000 tenants in the last two decades — no one has been taken to court or evicted, he said. esfolts@syr.edu | @emmafolts

versities, including SU, received the title in the past year. SU is one of the few private universities with the designation. Zoli said a key part of SU receiving the intelligence community designation is the university’s military population and the Institute for Veterans and Military Families. Veterans make up more than 5% of the SU student body. “A lot of our military veterans on campus have already committed a portion of their life to public service, and they’re already primed for positions (in the intelligence field),” Zoli said. Each year, as part of SU’s program, at least 10 students will be chosen for the Downey Fellowship. The fellowship will include financial awards and opportunities to attend sponsored events through the national intelligence community program office in Washington, D.C., Zoli said. Through the fellowship, students will have the chance to network with major national security professionals. Students will be able to join the fellowship starting this fall. The fellowship will eventually include students from the four partnering schools but will only include Syracuse stufrom page 1

testing hopes to match or exceed that amount this year although the decision ultimately rests with the SA Assembly. SA will also work with the Office of Health Promotion to promote the event around campus. “The program is very well-utilized,” Mertikas said. “There are always students there to be tested.” The Barnes Center at The Arch has updated the Get Yourself Tested initiative based on student input from previous years, Goode said. Changes to the program include adding a health behavior screening to pinpoint which STIs students are most at risk for, as well as introducing new testing methods. Goode said confidentiality remains a key focus of the campaign. Through the program, students can receive information

dents for the first few years, Murrett said. The partner schools are Wells College, the Grove School of Engineering, the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Norfolk State University. “We have to go through the process of selecting people affiliated with the program and the fellows, who are going to be a very diverse population,” Murrett said. Loren Reichsfeld, a third-year student in the SU College of Law, said in an email that she hopes to be an affiliate with the PER/ SUADE program and plans to apply for the Downey Fellowship. The program is a “natural complement” to her degree in national security law and would be a good way to indicate her interest in the intelligence field to recruiters, she said. Reichsfeld said the intelligence field’s strength is its diversity, but there is always room to diversify it further. “In intel, you need people that understand various cultures and languages as well as sciences, law and so much more,” Reichsfeld said. “This need for such a wide talent base requires diversity in every sense of the word.” nrrubiol@syr.edu | @natailerubio_

about their sexual health without using their insurance, which may otherwise keep the test on their records, she said. SU’s health promotion officials are hoping that students who don’t have the SU insurance plan can utilize the testing days, Goode said. She encourages students with immediate sexual health concerns to seek help to set up a free appointment at The Arch. The renewal of the Get Yourself Tested program fits within SA’s larger plan to prioritize student mental and physical health in the 2019-20 academic year as well as to continue supporting initiatives that have worked well in the past. SA will vote to approve the $5,000 initial funding measure at its next meeting on Monday. Once the spring semester begins, the Assembly will decide whether to contribute an additional $5,000 to expand the program even further. cjhippen@syr.edu

SU can do more to combat vaping and nicotine addiction on campus

ince the summer of 2015, Syracuse University has been a “tobacco-free” campus, meaning that no smoking is allowed. This includes cigarettes, chewing tobacco, e-cigarettes and vapes like the popular Juul. Despite this policy, smoking and vaping is still easy to spot around campus. Senior Ashley Lin said that as a resident adviser she often saw freshmen vaping in Lawrinson Hall last year. “A lot of them were obsessed with their Juuls, and they would freak out every single time they didn’t have it on their bodies,” Lin said. Vaping poses a serious health risk to the SU community, and SU can do more to combat vape use and nicotine addiction on campus. Fifteen percent of college students reported that they vape nicotine products, and 11% report that they have vaped marijuana products, according to an annual study from the University of Michi-

gan this year. That’s more than twice the rate compared to last year’s study. Vapes are an especially increasing trend, and little research has been performed on the effects of vapes in the long term. Recently, new information about the health risks of vapes has come into public focus. At least 450 cases of severe lung illnesses and at least five deaths have been linked to vaping products. Researchers also noted in their report in the New England Journal of Medicine that “e-cigarette aerosol is not harmless” and can expose users to dangerous substances like ultrafine particles, heavy metals, volatile organic compounds and other harmful ingredients. One SU student, Maxwell Berger, has even sued Juul Labs, makers of Juul, claiming that the vape device played a major role in a hemorrhagic stroke he suffered in 2017, which partially paralyzed him and caused brain damage. While SU does explicitly ban

LEFT OF THE ISSUES vaping products like Juul, more can be done to ensure that students are aware of the policy. “From what I know, for the Office of Student Living, we don’t really talk to the residents about Juuling or vaping,” Lin said. Lin also said that RAs should speak to residents about the health risks of Juuls and vapes. “It should be included in one of the first floor meetings, just so residents know what they’re inhaling,” Lin said. “There’s definitely room to re-evaluate some of the policies currently in place,” said John Jankovic, a co-chair of the Student Life Committee of the SU Student Association. Traditional “No Smoking” signs are posted around campus, but these signs do not specify

NY state vape bans are good start

arlier this month President Trump proposed a ban on all flavored vaping products. The next week, Governor Cuomo announced an executive order to ban the sale of flavored vaping products and promised to ramp up law enforcement efforts against retailers selling to minors. The bans are aimed at stemming the massive increase in teen use of vape and e-cigarette products — products that were originally intended to help people quit smoking, but are now a teenage trend. Vaping among teenagers constitutes a legitimate public health concern. Although banning flavored vapes doesn’t solve the problem, it’s a step in the right direction. This issue deals with two separate circles of people: Typically cigarette smokers more than 30 years old who are trying to quit, and teenagers who use e-cigarettes recreationally without any experience with cigarettes. “Vaping is meant for adults who are addicted to tobacco, it’s not meant for those who have not started,” said Ignatius Ijere, an associate professor in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics. Ijere specializes in addiction studies. Cigarette smoking is hitting all-time lows, and just as one prob-

MICHAEL FURNARI A STEP TO THE RIGHT lem is on its way out, vaping has exposed millions of teens who have never smoked to nicotine. There are now far more young people with serious nicotine addictions, addictions that as time passes will make them more and more susceptible to picking up smoking, a habit that they otherwise never would have been at risk for. Vaping has become more than just a way for tobacco smokers to deal with their addictions, it’s become a hobby. E-cigarette companies market to adolescents, branding their products like skateboards, not tools for easing addiction. Vape shops are like low-rent Wonka chocolate factories, where teenagers carefully weigh the merits of whether to spend their parent’s money on “Candy King Bubblegum Pink Lemonade” or “Sad Boy Salts Pumpkin Cookie.” Flavored vaping products have nothing to do with vaping’s purpose. E-cigarette manufacturers have used our fixation on consumer products and personalization to market easily swayed teens headfirst into an epidemic. Flavored vaping products should be banned, but the bans won’t solve this problem alone.

The enforceability of a law like this is dubious, and a black market will surely exist and operate without much interference from law enforcement. To seriously impact the number of teens who vape recreationally, action needs to be taken beyond what the government can do. “The government can’t do it without the people; the community, the government and families all have to work together to make change,” said Ijere. More research needs to be done on the exact damage vaping does to peoples’ bodies, so families and consumers can better understand the problem. This generation deals with addictions to what are at first glance harmless trinkets and diversions. We’re running out of meaningful rebellions. Our grandparents had Kent State and psychedelics and the dignity of being cool and dangerous. We’ve landed on repurposing addiction tools by slapping Batman stickers on them and filling them with pineapple flavoring.

e-cigarette or vaping products, which output flavored water vapor, not smoke. New signage should be posted on entrances to campus buildings, especially dorms, specifying vapes and other e-cigarette products to ensure that the student body is better aware of the policy. Additionally, campus smoking and tobacco policies should be included in August orientation sessions, like dorm hall meetings, and first-year student seminars. “There’s already avenues that exist that we can incorporate this kind of education or information,” Jankovic said. “SEM 100 is a good example, or any first-year class that comes with a focus on health and wellness should come with the incorporation of maybe vaping, or smoking as well.” Jankovic said SA is open to discussion of tobacco and nicotine policies on campus this year. By taking time to explicitly talk to students about the dangers of

tobacco and nicotine products, as well as SU’s policies, students may be discouraged from using these products. SU should also encourage students to report violations of these policies to faculty or administrators, as part of their effort to encourage healthy habits. While some have warned of vapes’ possible health risks, most young people have ignored the concerns, viewing vapes as a better alternative to cigarettes. Recent illnesses have brought to light the legitimate health risks that come along with vaping and nicotine addiction. SU, as part of its large-scale effort to help students in both physical and mental health, must do more to combat this everincreasing epidemic.

Greek Day promotion a step backwards

ear Editor, As a member of the Syracuse University community who works to help foster “a richly diverse and inclusive community of learning and opportunity” on our campus, I am disappointed in the announcement of a Greek Day promotion for the football game against the University of Pittsburgh. While I appreciate the collaboration between various campus offices and the desire to increase student attendance, I question the name and description of this promotion. Encouraging students to “wear sunglasses, khakis and a button-up to the game” is perpetuating a stereotype of the Greek community, and it does not demonstrate the inclusive environment the university is striving to provide. Instead of Greek Day, we could promote the values of the university by having a student involvement

day where students are encouraged to wear clothing to highlight their campus or community involvement. Syracuse offers such a variety of clubs and activities for our student body and this would be an opportunity to showcase and celebrate all our campus offers, including Greek Life. As a facilitator for the SEM 100 First Year Experience course I know that a lot of time and effort has been committed to making our campus a place where diversity is celebrated in a positive light. We try to tell potential and current students that Syracuse is a place for them, so we need to demonstrate in our actions. This promotion is a step backwards for our community in a time when we should be moving forward. Sincerely,

Kevin Wall Functional Business Analyst Office of the Registrar SEM 100 Facilitator

Latinx club to celebrate 25 years By Diana Riojas feature editor

For Latinx Undergraduate Creating History in America, abbreviated La L.U.C.H.A., familia means everything — and that sense of familia has grown stronger every year, members said. Now, La L.U.C.H.A. is celebrating 25 years of being a registered student organization. They focus on empowering members from all ethnicities and bringing a sense of home to those who may not have that in Syracuse, said La L.U.C.H.A. President Andrea Roque.

We don’t see a lot of our faces here so to have an organization where you can share your culture but also talk to people who already share your culture and you’re not an outlier, is important. Isabella Léon graphic designer for la l.u.c.h.a.

ndia is one of the most polluted countries, according to the World Health Organization, and access to clean drinking water is a growing concern for the Indian subcontinent. But the solution must be low-cost and accessible, which is why two Syracuse University students explored how the sari, a traditional Indian garment, can better filter safe drinking water. During her junior year, Nikita Chatterjee, a senior finance and economics major, participated in Capital One’s Women Entrepreneurs Make a Difference in Communities program, which funds women-run businesses. The goal of the program is to create a business solution for low-income communities, Chatterjee said. After learning of the drinking water crisis in India, where her family is from, she focused her project on water quality and clean water access.

Howard, and Linda Hartsock, the executive director of SU’s innovation hub Blackstone LaunchPad, Chatterjee decided to use a sari cloth for water filtration. To develop the technical side of their invention, Hartsock, who had advised them on their business model and marketing, referred Chatterjee and Howard to Invent@SU, a summer program at the College of Engineering and Computer Science that’s centered on prototype building and culminates in a pitch competition. “That was our way of kind of also bridging the gap between our skills and what we were missing at that time,” Howard said. “And so it really helped us push forward with what our idea was and also validate that it could happen.” see sari page 8

Chatterjee and Howard said the design is inspired by the sari folding process. The filtration process begins with the cloth, which is then folded in layers alternating with four pouches of disinfectants, and one pouch containing a sensory mechanism. Water is then poured from above and filtered into a bucket underneath. For Chatterjee and Howard, the challenge was to balance the device’s cultural and practical implications. Chatterjee said that they wanted to keep many of the traditional aspects and “methodology” that women already use in India. “We did a lot of research on how they filter their water and why they do it that way,” Chatterjee said. “We basically decided to keep the sari cloth and the traditional folding method to mimic that behavior — just enhance it with technology — so they feel more comfortable using it and it’s

In honor of the anniversary, La L.U.C.H.A. will be hosting a gala on Sept. 28, where it will honor, not only its members and alumni, but other organizations that the La L.U.C.H.A. executive board believe contribute to the Syracuse community. La L.U.C.H.A. was founded in 1994 and had an e-board dominated by women of color, said Roque. Today’s executive board is the same. She added that when it was founded, it was created for people to enjoy campus without becoming a part of Greek life, a trend that was growing at the time. Isabella León, a junior advertising major and graphic designer for La L.U.C.H.A., said since joining the organization, the sense of familia has grown in prominence as the community creates a safe space for Latinx people to be around one another. “We don’t see a lot of our faces here so to have an organization where you can share your culture, but also talk to people who already share your culture and you’re not an outlier, is important,” León said. Roque, who joined the organization her freshman year, said she was first inspired to join when she met former president, Jennifer Rodriguez. Roque added that Rodriguez was someone who see l.u.c.h.a. page 8

Falk College hosts non-credit dementia, Alzheimer’s care program By Christopher Scarglato contributing writer

Last week, social workers and people from around central New York came to Syracuse University to learn how to provide care for those with dementia. Katrina VanFleet and Kristin Campbell, who both work for the Alzheimer’s Association’s central New York chapter, organized the event. The program was a non-credit workshop which ran for more than five hours on Sept. 11 at the Nancy Cantor Warehouse. VanFleet said that the program was focused on assisting all types of dementia. They wanted to make sure the program is individualized because Alzheimer’s is different for each person. “I think it is important that all people that deal with dementia have direct and excellent care for Alzheimer’s, and we want to ensure people are receiving the highest level of care,” said VanFleet. The program was hosted by the School of Social Work at SU’s David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, and provided an overview of the disease, according to Falk’s website. Kristin Esposito, the internship placement coordinator at Falk College, said the program is approved by the Licensed Master Social Workers and Licensed Clinical Social Workers continuing education program. Participants would be able to learn “basic information about dementia and Alzheimer’s disease” and practice for needs-assessments and care planning, among other things, according to the website. The role of human service providers is they know how to help and direct families from an individual standpoint, VanFleet said. “There’s a lot of people in this commu-

nity that have someone that they know who has dementia and we want to try our best to help them,” she said. Esposito said the workshop is for those who want to continue their long-term care education for people who have the disease. The focus of the program is to bring the best care to their loved ones that they can possibly get, she added.

While the program was open to everyone, it was specifically targeted to social workers who want an in-depth knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease, said Campbell. She added that the event’s attendees were mostly social workers. Campbell said that the program was “well-received” by her colleagues and that they were excited to have a lot of social

sarah allam illustration editor workers at the event. “We were so pleased to have social workers attend from diverse long-term care and community-based settings across New York State,” Campbell said. “The engaging activities in this training helped everyone to interact with the material and apply it to each of their agency-specific roles.” cscargla@syr.edu

genuinely wanted La L.U.C.H.A. to grow and wants to follow in her steps. But Roque said along with the support system, La L.U.C.H.A. continues to be active with communities both on and off the SU campus. Members of La L.U.C.H.A. often hold events like study circles and “Cafe con Soul Food,” where it partners with organizations like SU’s Caribbean Student Association for a night of authentic Afro-Latinx food and live music. Particularly with organizations founded for people of color, Roque said it’s important to support similar organizations, adding it’s not a competition, but a way to build and support one another. “There might be a small number of us on campus, but we still make our presence known on campus,” Roque said. She added having a support system that includes other organizations and alumni, also known as Luchadores, is why La L.U.C.H.A. continues to grow. Part of the support system includes former president Christian Medina, who graduated last May. He said that joining La L.U.C.H.A. meant he was able to support people from all backgrounds — whether they were Cuban, Peruvian or Hispanic. All that matters is wanting to make an impact in the Latinx community, he said. One way La L.U.C.H.A. has changed dramatically in recent years is its increased use of social media, Roque said. The organization’s Instagram posts show audience members, current executive board members, upcoming events and also brings advocacy to certain political discussion affecting the Latinx/Hispanic community. As La L.U.C.H.A. celebrates their milestone this year, León said she can see it lasting another 25 years. Roque said she hopes to come back to SU once she graduates and see it continue to make an impact on the community. “There’s a lot of love for L.U.C.H.A.,” León said.

a more familiar process.” Jaclyn Hingre, a mechanical engineering master’s student and teaching assistant for the 10 Invent@SU teams, said that Chatterjee and Howard demonstrated their work ethic by coming in on the weekends. “The work was hard,” said Howard. “For us, especially as non-engineer or design (majors), we knew that we had to put in twice as much effort, if not more.” At the pitch competition, Chatterjee and Howard won first place, along with a $5,000 prize. They also patented their device and formed their own global health startup company, titled PAANI, translated to “water” in Hindi. Chatterjee and Howard also pitched their idea to business plan competitions and won an award in the clean tech division at the New York Business Plan Competition in April as the best women-owned student venture in the state, Hartsock said. Chatterjee and Howard said they will visit the Indian Institute of Technology during winter break to measure customer feedback, network with investors and work out logistics. Prior to visiting India, Hartsock said she will accompany the pair to New York City to pitch their device to startup accelerator, Techstars, in hopes of perfecting the system and raising funding. They also expect to receive support from crowdfunding. Chatterjee and Howard are now working to expand their company by recruiting a social media manager and chemical-environmental engineer. They are also working to refine the device by finding a way to manufacture and mass distribute it pre-assembled. PAANI’s goal is to expand to other underdeveloped countries, and have the device catered toward whatever a country’s traditional cloth is, Chatterjee said. But their technology will adhere to their mission of being affordable and accessible, as Howard said they aren’t looking to get rich off of their design. “In terms of practicality, you have to take yourself out of this definition of what practical means in America and put yourself in the slums of India and decide what’s practical for that specific place, and I think that’s what we really wanted to focus on,” Chatterjee said.

No. 23 Syracuse topples Bucknell with 2nd half surge By Adam Hillman asst. copy editor

For the fifth time in the first six games of Syracuse’s season, SU trailed or was tied with an unranked team at the half. Bucknell, who had already suffered losses to unranked James Madison and Richmond, scored the first goal of the game only seven minutes in. While junior Carolin Hoffmann equalized in the second quarter, No. 23 Syracuse (5-1) entered halftime in familiar territory: needing a secondfrom page 12

o-line “You’ve gotta have the mind of a corner in this game,” left guard Evan Adams said after the loss. “Every bad experience, you can’t dwell on it. You’ve gotta wipe it at some point and move on to the next experience. You can’t dwell on things that are unfixable.” In the opening minutes of Syracuse’s 2019 season, Liberty’s defensive front appeared to be as dominant as Clemson. But four players, redshirt freshman right tackle Carlos Vettorello; redshirt sophomore guard Dakota Davis; redshirt junior left tackle Airon Servais and Heckel, were all starting for the first time at new positions. Soon, they settled in, but still allowed two sacks. Against Maryland, without Heckel, their performance was steadier, and DeVito faced less pressure. But with graduate transfer Ryan Alexander making his first start opposite Vettorello, it wasn’t a particularly strong performance. Still, the sack total grew by four, SU rushed for 70 yards as a team and still seemed to from page 12

fordham and lost possession. The same happened with redshirt freshman Marisa Fischetti and junior Mackenzie Vlachos five minutes later. Root insisted these miscommunications were “just normal soccer stuff,” but conceded that the Orange need to be sharper going forward. Even with the mishaps, SU finished the first half with six corners and seven free kicks compared to Fordham’s zero corners and five

half push. The Orange found that two minutes into the third quarter through star freshman Charlotte de Vries, who now has seven of the team’s 14 goals on the season. SU eventually cruised to a 3-1 victory over Bucknell (2-3). Against Vermont in the season opener, the Orange trailed by a goal with less than eight minutes remaining before de Vries tallied the tying goal in the fourth quarter and game-winning goal in overtime. Two days later, de Vries scored the game’s only goal in a 1-0 overtime win against UMass Lowell. On Sept. 2 against Lafayette, she

slotted home SU’s first goal, spurring the three-goal comeback. Then, Sunday, she scored the goal that would put the Orange up for good only a few minutes into the third quarter. Standing on the left wing, following a shot by junior Chiara Gutsche, de Vries fired her patented reverse-hit, sending the ball to the back of the cage. “I think no matter what it’s a team effort, but she has such a natural ability and talent for goal scoring,” junior Claire Cooke said on Sept. 11. “That just comes

from her talent. She is always in a good position to get the ball.” Eight minutes after de Vries’ score, Cooke held the ball on the right wing. She whipped her stick, sending the ball toward the goal. Gutsche, standing in the way, placed her stick on the ground, tipping it past the Bucknell goalkeeper. The junior – who scored eight goals last year – scored her first of 2019, giving the Orange a two-goal lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Syracuse plays next against No. 6 Virginia at J.S. Coyne Stadium on Sept. 20.

be a few steps away from the consistency of 2018’s group. Clemson overmatched the Orange upfront. Syracuse went for power runs up the middle twice from the Tigers’ threeyard line and the line couldn’t move them an inch. Tigers defensive coordinator Brent Venables dialed up a myriad of blitzes to great effect. Seven Clemson players contributed to their eight sacks.

“I feel like this is going to be a great growing experience because they threw so many things out there,” Adams said. “It’s definitely going to be exciting to watch film and see where we can

improve.” It was the sort of night that forces you to examine why you couldn’t keep your quarterback upright in the pocket long enough to throw downfield. And after the game, Babers was quick to note that at least two of Syracuse’s sacks weren’t the fault of the offensive line, without divulging who missed an assignment. “So again, it’s not a simple offense. It’s a complex offense,” Babers said. “And everybody has to do their part. It only takes one guy to break offensively for something bad to happen.” Syracuse had fielded one of its better offensive lines in recent memory in 2018. Despite giving up 37 sacks, the Orange posted a 40.2 point per game scoring average behind the offensive line. Having four players starting at new positions this season, it was known that the offensive line was going to be a work in progress and Syracuse, Babers said, is “only as fast as its slowest offensive lineman.” “It comes down to learning a lot of offense,” Babers said at his Aug. 26 press conference. “Learning it and practicing it at the tempo you

need to practice.” And, as Babers noted postgame, a sack isn’t necessarily the offensive line’s fault. Syracuse runs a complex offense — it’s a point that’s been preached early this season — and one missed assignment can unravel an entire play. Who a lineman is supposed to block is contingent on a number of factors: play call, defensive front, and any checks or audibles at the line of scrimmage. There’s reason to believe the offensive line can improve. Heckel should come back soon, moving Servais back to left tackle and putting Alexander and Vettorello in a competition for the right tackle spot. As Syracuse establishes its clear five starters and they play more snaps together, these issues will begin to fade. There are nine games left in Syracuse’s season and Babers pointed out that this team can still get to where it wants to be at the end of the season. If it wants to even get close, Syracuse’s offensive line really needs to improve.

free kicks. Adams’ group outshot the Rams 8-2 in the first half, but only got one of those shots on net compared to Fordham’s zero. “I think it’s a combination of personnel and conditions,” Adams said, “We changed the second half to be much more direct because we were not combining well in the final third.” The personnel at Adams’ disposal is now down to 13 eligible outfield players, due to injuries. Because of this, the Orange could make just three subs. It also meant third-string goalkeeper Santita Ebangwese had to play 32 minutes at forward.

Ebangwese’s inexperience was particularly evident in the 78th minute, when Stephanie deLaforcade played a cross under the charging keeper to the far-left post. Ebangwese was just entering the penalty area, nowhere near the ball. Syracuse’s best chance to end its winless streak and break the deadlock came later in the 78th minute, when a shot by Aviza beat Fordham’s keeper Kelly LaMorte, but not the crossbar, inciting another groan – this one from a fanbase that hasn’t seen the Orange score a goal in 498 minutes.

In extra time, true freshman Alexandra Panaggio generated multiple SU scoring chances, recording a shot on net herself while also creating opportunities down the sideline for Brown and fellow freshman Teri Jackson. Panaggio played a career-high 90 minutes in the draw. “We created a bunch of opportunities, which is good for us,” Root said. “I was happy with the number of opportunities we created. We just have to put them in the back of the net.”

Every bad experience, you can’t dwell on it. You gotta wipe it at some point. Evan Adams left guard

bonner defined leader and Bonner, despite her unwillingness to classify as one, stepped into the leadership role. Bonner began to lead workout groups and motivate teammates in training. That, coupled with her strong showings in the championship races down the final stretch of the season, has catapulted her toward becoming a captain for the Orange.

I don’t know if she necessarily tries to be a leader, but she is... her personality is just something people gravitate towards. Brien Bell syracuse head coach

“Rachel has always had a leadership role ever since I got on the team,” said sophomore Laura Dickinson. “She has always been someone that I looked up to as a role model. She works hard. She is a great team player. She always brings a lot of energy and a lot of positivity to all the workouts.” But Bonner does not see herself as a traditional captain. Following a year in which Malone was the lone representative for the SU women at NCAA Cross Country Championships, Bonner is not focused on filling those shoes. Instead,

RACHEL BONNER is expected to lead a Syracuse women’s cross country program that’s coming off one of its best seasons in history. Bonner, though, maintains a team-first approach. anya wijeweera contributing photographer

she prioritizes team success, which starts with setting the pace in workouts. When Bonner runs at the front of the practice pack, her teammates push themselves to keep up, Dickinson said. When Bonner travelled from her hometown in Michigan to Colorado to train in the high altitude this summer, her teammates noticed. SU head coach Brien Bell said Bonner’s lead-by-example style “rubs off on a lot of people.” The group behind Bonner might be “the

best team we have ever had here,” Bell said. Bonner agrees. ACC coaches ranked Syracuse as the fourth best team in the conference entering the season. The only significant departure was Malone, and Syracuse’s top-seven features sophomores Abigail Spiers and Eleanor Lawler and upperclassmen Jordan Jacob, Madeleine Davidson, Dickinson and Bonner. One year after leading Syracuse to an overall third place finish at the ACC Cross Country

Championships, Bonner said title contention is within reach. To get there, it starts with her. “I don’t know if she necessarily tries to be a leader, but she is,” Bell said. “Whether she wants it or not, her personality just is something people gravitate towards. She is very grounded. [Bonner] is ready and responsible, and relentless and reliable. She embodies those characteristics.” “She knows what needs to get done.” efjarjou@syr.edu

To succeed, Syracuse’s offensive line needs to improve

TOMMY DEVITO was sacked eight times on Saturday against No. 1 Clemson, upping his total to 14 sacks in three games. Head coach Dino Babers said atleast two of the sacks weren’t the offensive line’s fault. max freund staff photographer

he word “overwhelming” probably best characterizes Clemson’s constant presence in the Syracuse backfield Saturday night. On nearly every snap, one or more of Clemson’s linemen and blitzers harassed quarterback Tommy DeVito, making him duck, dodge and flee the pocket. It’s not shocking that Clemson’s yet-again loaded defensive front had its way with Syracuse’s banged-up and inexperienced offensive line. But the eight sacks and six hits on DeVito, plus seven additional tackles for loss clarified the Orange’s most pressing issue: fixing the offensive line. Syracuse’s offensive line is not the sole culprit for its loss to No. 1 Clemson. But ignoring the truth — that SU’s offensive line is not what it needs to be for the Orange to achieve its goals — doesn’t change it. There’s every reason to believe this group, which ANDREW hopes to bring back injured center Sam Heckel soon, GRAHAM can improve. Through three games, the Orange’s ‘TAKE A offensive line has surrendered 14 sacks on DeVito and LAP’ struggled to establish the run game.

Missed chances hurt SU in 0-0 tie Rachel Bonner steps into leadership role By Tim Nolan staff writer

The ball fell to the feet of junior Shannon Aviza just ahead of midfield. She had forward Meghan Root ahead of her on the near sideline, with plenty of space. Aviza made the pass forward, but with just three minutes to go, steady drizzle throughout the second half caused the ball to skip along the wet grass, past Root and out of play. Root tilted her head back and groaned in frustration as Fordham began to counter attack. It was one of many missed attacking opportunities for Syracuse (2-4-1) in a 0-0 draw with Fordham (1-5-2) on Sunday at SU Soccer

Stadium. The Orange haven’t converted anything of late, going fivestraight matches without recording a goal. Today, the leading culprit was missed opportunities. “How many corner kicks did we generate? Over 10?” head coach Nicky Adams said. “I’m proud of the team for creating those opportunities, but we need the team to be more technical in the box and finish our opportunities.” The Orange generated eight corner kicks in total and dominated the Rams in every offensive category — except goals. Generating corners and set pieces was the game plan going in, said Adams. She felt from watching Fordham’s film that her unit could exploit the Rams in this area by

driving to the end-line and crossing the ball in. Adams was vocal from the sideline throughout the match, urging her squad to push up, yelling, “Let’s get end-line. Let’s get end-line.” For the first 15 minutes, outside backs Clarke Brown and Kailey Brenner did just that. Brown forced a corner, while Brenner played a ball to redshirt sophomore Kailee Coonan at the top of the penalty area than Coonan lifted just over the crossbar. Like past games in the winless streak, the Orange faded, and communication faltered as the first half wore on. In the 14th minute, forward Alex Steigelfest and Brenner miscommunicated on an overlap see fordham page 10

Rachel Bonner entered her final turn of the event at the Atlantic Coast Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships last February. The three-kilometer race was a tactical one, where laps on laps of methodical running culminate in an all-out sprint to decide a winner. Entering the decisive straight-away sprint, Bonner looked beside her to see two of her teammates, Paige Stoner and Laura Dickinson, dashing right along with her. The

trio finished fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively. “I just felt the momentum swinging around that final turn and it was just so intense and gratifying and special to just be running around with those girls,” Bonner said. Following the graduation of senior Shannon Malone, Bonner is set to lead 2019’s installment of Syracuse’s women’s cross-country team after its most successful season since joining the ACC in 2013. When a hip injury sidelined Malone for most of her redshirt senior season, SU was without a see bonner page 10
