Students react to Barnes Center at The Arch

Experts debate I-81 grid option By Abby Weiss staff writer

The Barnes Center at The Arch offically opened on Friday after 18 months of renovations to the existing Archbold Gymnasium structure. The Arch features several exercise rooms and a multi-activity court. will fudge contributing photographer

First impressions By Daily Orange News Staff

n most days, Liam Petri, a sophomore at SUNY-ESF, can be found doing circuits at Syracuse University’s newest gym. Petri started going to The Barnes Center at The Arch in mid-July to “get back on the grind.” He uses it for physical therapy every week, he said. He went after class last Friday to the third floor gym, his favorite spot to exercise. He added it’s become part of his weekly routine. Now that the entire center is open to the public, Petri and his three roommates have new plans. “We’re going to go downstairs. We’re going to do rock

climbing for a bit. We want to try out the esports room,” said Petri. “We’re going to have a playdate. A whole playdate at Archbold.” The Arch fully opened Friday after 18 months of construction as a multi-floor consolidated health and wellness complex. Renovations to Archbold Gymnasium, the original structure, cost $50 million and added about 7,000 square feet. Archbold was built in 1908 and previously renovated in 1989. The Daily Orange spoke with more than 100 Syracuse University and SUNY-ESF students on campus about The Arch’s opening. Whether students said they were excited about pet therapy or rock climbing, a majority agreed that see the arch page 4

Syracuse University and SUNYESF professors disagree on the environmental impact of the community grid, a proposed replacement option for Syracuse’s failing Interstate 81 viaduct. In April, the New York State Department of Transportation released a report endorsing the community grid. Under the proposed grid plan, the existing viaduct would be torn down and traffic would be redirected through city streets. As part of its report, NYSDOT analyzed how the grid and its construction would affect the environment in Syracuse. The report concluded that the grid was the most environmentally-sound option for the I-81 replacement. Lemir Teron, a SUNY-ESF assistant professor of environmental studies, said NYSDOT’s report failed to address environmental justice enough in its analysis of the grid’s environmental impact. The report has a section on environmental justice, which concludes that adverse effects to environmental justice communities could occur related to construction and traffic noise levels. While the report highlights topics like noise impact and air quality, the review does not consider the livelihoods of people living near the construction project, he said. “We need to be very intentional on the front end about how these impacts will be mitigated,” Teron said.

Syracuse nonprofits look to improve representation in census By Marnie Muñoz

contributing writer

The Central New York Community Foundation awarded a non-profit $15,000 earlier this month to support efforts to increase Syracuse representation in the 2020 census. The grant, awarded to Interfaith Works, is one of five recent donations from the Community Foundation, Syracuse’s largest charitable donor. All of the grants are meant to improve census outreach to undercounted groups, such as children, older adults and

new United States citizens. Interfaith Works has focused much of its approach on including these groups. “Our goal with that really is to help populations that are hard to reach and hard to count become more educated about the census,” said Lori Klivak, Interfaith Works’ director of senior services. Census data is used to distribute more than $675 billion in federal funding to local municipalities and to allocate proportional state representation in Congress. New York state lost two congres-

sional seats from the 2010 census. Small subdivisions in Syracuse, or census tracts, are notoriously unresponsive, according to Center for Urban Research at City University of New York. Groups like the Community Foundation and Interfaith Works are aiming to change that. “It continues to look like population is declining in Syracuse, and from everything we can tell, the population is actually increasing,” said Robyn Smith, the Community Foundation’s director of strategic initiatives. “We just want to make sure that those

numbers are accurate.” Undercounted communities depend more critically on federally funded programs because of barriers they face, Klivak said. For Klivak, having representatives who reflect the needs of refugees is a part of teaching refugees about community engagement. Because of this case, workers at Interfaith Works prioritize building mutual trust between the two groups, she said. “The challenge and the reward will be in seeking out those people and figuring out how to support

them so that they can be counted as well,” Klivak said. Twiggy Billue, president of Syracuse’s national action network, pointed out that both work and incompatible public transportation have previously prevented people from participating. “I can well be off (of work) at five,” she said. “But if there’s no bus that’s bringing me home from Buckley Road to the City of Syracuse, I might not get here in time to see a census worker.” The upcoming census will be

IVMF receives grant for veterans in business By Natalie Rubio-Licht asst. digital editor

The U.S. Small Business Administration awarded Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families $100,000 to support service-disabled veterans in small business ventures. The grant will go to programs that help service-disabled veterans start new businesses or expand and diversify existing small businesses, according to a U.S. Small Business Administration press release. “Syracuse University is a national leader when it comes to advancing the lives of veterans and military families,” said Steve Bulger, SBA regional administrator for operations in New York, in the release. The SBA distributed a total of $300,000 to organizations across the country for the purpose of supporting service-disabled veterans. Of the four organizations that received grant money, SU received

the highest amount of funding. The IVMF received a $100,000 grant from The Leon Levine Foundation and a $250,000 grant from Prudential Financial Inc. in the spring 2019 semester. The Leon Levine Foundation grant funds IVMF’s AmericaServes veterans outreach program, and the Prudential Financial Inc. grant funds research and tools to help strengthen veteran career pathways. Around 5% of the SU student body has connections to the military, said Mike Haynie, SU’s vice chancellor for strategic initiatives and innovation, at a May press conference. “Funding these organizations involved in helping service-disabled veterans establish successful businesses will go a long way toward securing the future for these veterans and their families,” said Chris Pilkerton, SBA acting administrator.

Syracuse Abroad opens satellite office in Bird By Richard J Chang asst. copy editor

Syracuse Abroad opened a new satellite office in Bird Library to inform students of the university’s global opportunities, SU announced Tuesday. The location of satellite office, named SyracuseAbroad@Bird, is intended to be convenient for students interesting in studying abroad or learning about other research and entrepreneurial programs. Bird Library is one of

the busiest locations on campus, according to a press release. “The opening of SyracuseAbroad@Bird marks a new era of opportunity for all students interested in studying abroad. The dedication of the space will signify Syracuse Abroad as an integral part of Bird library,” the release stated. SU Abroad will host an inauguration and ribbon cutting ceremony for the new office Thursday, about a month after the office’s soft launch on Aug. 12. The satellite

office has been in the works since November 2018. Vice Chancellor for academic affairs and Provost Michele Wheatly will give opening remarks at the open house. The office encourages students to come with questions and ask about the international academic programs offered by the university. SU Abroad’s main office is located at 106 Walnut Place. The office will keep its primary location in addition to the satellite office. The satellite office will be available to walk students

through the application process for studying abroad as well as offer tips and advice on the programs. SU currently operates six international campuses, including Florence, Italy; Hong Kong; London; Madrid; Santiago, Chile and Strasbourg, France. SU Abroad also offers a Central Europe program every fall, and students have options to study in more than 60 countries through world partners and summer and short-term programs. rjchang@syr.edu

The city of Syracuse has finished installing a bike path on Waverly and Comstock avenues, connecting the pre-existing Euclid Avenue bike path to the city’s Connective Corridor. The new bike path is part of the Syracuse’s larger Bike Infrastructure Master Plan, which set a goal for what the city’s bike infrastructure will look like in 2040. The city refers back to the plan during construction, said Neil Burke, the city’s transportation planner. With the additional bike path, there is now a six-mile set of continuous bike lanes connecting Syracuse’s downtown to its Eastside, Burke said. The goal of the path is to “to bring everyone from the Eastside into a connected system of bike lanes,” he added. For the safety of riders, the bike paths are painted green. There are also barriers between the bike lane and the road. Given the separation, the number of available parking spots on Waverly Avenue has decreased, Burke said. It’s critical to have bike lanes marked to help prevent cyclists from getting injured, said Aidan Ackerman, an assistant professor of landscape architecture at SUNY-ESF. “The more there are marked bike lanes and the more bikers there are, then there is a higher awareness among drivers and cyclists so both know where to go,” Ackerman said. During the morning rush to classes, there can be 10 to 15 people biking on the path, he said. He added that this was an increase from the number of people he saw last year. City-wide improvements are being made to bike technology and infrastructure, among them the implementation of a bike share program. Residents can rent and return electronic bikes at 35 locations around the city through the Syracuse Sync program, a collaboration between the city and Gotcha, a national mobility service company. Through the Gotcha app, users have the ability to pay for their rental bikes by the minute or through a monthly and annual plan. The program makes it more financially sustainable to ride without investing in an individual bike, Ackerman said. John Petosa, a professor at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, said the new bike paths connect the university and the city in a more symbolic than physical way. It would be hard for Syracuse to become a biking city because it snows for many months of the year, Petosa said. “Through different projects like the Connective Corridor, we’ve seen that the city is here to support the university and the university is here to support the city,” he said. mlberenb@syr.edu

the arch the center was a welcome addition to campus. “There’s a lot of different opportunities there no matter what you want to do,” said Porter Holt, a freshman broadcast and digital journalism major.

Fitness

Kayla Handler, a freshman in the School of Education, and Ashley Schoenfeld, a junior in the School of Information Studies, said they’ve incorporated The Arch’s exercise classes into their regular schedules. Having the center on campus increases the desire to have a healthier lifestyle, Handler said they’re, “fun classes so it makes you want to work out,” she said. Kiki Pompee, a freshman neuroscience major, said the multiple floors of exercise machines and various fitness activities, such as rock climbing and workout classes, make the facility appealing more people. “I feel like it accommodates everyone and their gym experience,” Pompee said. Sophomore Anna Genter walked by The Arch every day on her way to the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics. She was “pleasantly surprised” when she from page 1

The report doesn’t explicitly talk about construction hazards in public areas, Teron said. He listed Wilson Park on South McBride Street as an example. The park is located adjacent to the viaduct and will be closed during construction. Many parents will not want their children to play next to a giant construction project, he said. NYSDOT also examined multiple factors of pollution in its report, including air quality. Emanuel Carter, a SUNY-ESF associate professor of landscape architecture, said the community grid will improve air pollution by dispersing traffic from the highly populated areas in the center of the city. from page 1

census mostly recorded digitally in a recent push for efficient accessibility. Still, the tech transition may inadvertently exclude already overlooked communities in Syracuse, according to Interfaith Works and the Community Foundation. Tracts where fewer households have internet access tend to overlap with tracts expressing low mail response rates, according to a data project by CUNY’s Center for Urban Research. Older, isolated adults may have fewer informed experiences with online platforms and may therefore be less willing to share information online, Klivak said. For Interfaith Works, using the Community Foundation’s funds to engage these issues in educational workshops will be a major factor in their work to increase census response rates. In an unprecedented move for Syracuse, the Complete Count Committee was established earlier this year with the aid of the

walked in the facility, and now goes five to six days every week. Facilities like this are important to have at large schools like SU, she said. Several students said they were disappointed about the lack of mirrors in the center’s exercise spaces, particularly in its weight-lifting area. They said not being able to see their form makes it difficult to see if they’re doing an exercise or lifting weights correctly. “I just can’t work out the same without them,” said Ashley Tubens, a sophomore biology major. “I went right back to Ernie because you’ve got to see the waveform and everything.” For having a national sports reputation, SU’s old fitness facilities were “terrible,” said Zach Liechtman, a sophomore sport management major. The Arch is spacious and innovative, everything one would want in a workout facility, he said.

Health services

Many students are in favor of the facility’s consolidation of health and wellness services. With multiple services offered in the same building, it’s easier and more convenient to both fulfill medical and mental health needs, said Makaela Molly, a freshman communication sciences and disorders and neuroscience dual major.

Diesel trucks and cars that currently travel on the viaduct would drive through less densely populated areas with the grid, leading to less concentrated pollution, he said. Carter said he supports the community grid because the viaduct created a divide in Syracuse. Syracuse is one of the most racially and financially segregated cities in the United States, something that many experts see as directly linked to I-81. “People see the viaduct as ‘this side’ and ‘that side’ and creates a sense of separation for permanent residents,” Carter said. “You’d think the streets under it would not make it an issue, but mentally it does.” Community grid streets lined with trees could also help to prevent much carbon dioxide pollution in neighborhoods, Carter Community Foundation. The committee is working to ensure everyone in Syracuse is counted in the 2020 census. A committee member herself, Syracuse Census Coordinator Tory Russo said she was optimistic about the move. “(It’s) giving everyone a voice and a chance to say ‘This is who I am, and this is my community, and this is the way that I want to contribute to my community,’” Russo said. The Community Foundation is supporting other organizations in central New York that are looking to improve the census, including Jubilee Homes of Syracuse, the New York Immigration Coalition, Tomorrow’s Neighborhoods Today and the New York State Census Equity Fund. “I am proud that the community foundation took an initiative to be able to do this,” said Billue, “because, sometimes, we see that in order to affect change, we can’t depend on the government’s resources to be able to do it alone.” ammunozc@syr.edu

“If you’re anywhere on campus, it’s generally centralized where you can get to it from any building. And it’s easy to access, it’s easy to look for,” she said. “There’s a gym, the mental health area, the actual doctors’ offices, the pharmacy — it’s all in one spot.” Adyson Burke, a freshman public health major, said having all health services in one place could make it easier for students to get help. SU’s Health Services and Counseling Center were previously located on Waverly and Walnut Avenues, respectively. While he said the facility was beautiful, Justin Andrade, a senior accounting major, said the health center is not as centrally located to the majority of student housing in its new location at The Arch. The health center is now closer to the freshman dorms, but for Andrade, it takes 15 minutes for him to walk to the center from his off-campus housing. “As someone who’s sick who lives off campus, it’s a troop to go to there,” Andrade said. The health center’s former location was easier to access, he said. Now, he has to go through campus security tolls — the security personnel always tell people to turn around, he added.

Student experience

Students said the center would help to improve their experiences on campus. Hannah Fox, a

said. Many American cities are adapting urban forestry programs to decrease pollution. In such programs, trees are grown and maintained in urban settings to promote increased water quality, energy savings, environmental life and life quality, according to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Minchin Lewis, a Syracuse University adjunct professor of public administration and international affairs, said the community grid plan would increase air pollution because there would be more stop-and-go traffic, which requires more fuel. Lewis is a supporter of an iconic bridge replacement option. “The community grid will not lower pollution but instead affect more neighborhoods,” he said.

freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences, said it was beneficial having those resources during her transition onto campus. “It’s obviously going to be hard, but there’s all those services there so that’s helpful,” she said. Haley Tomasso, a sophomore public health major, said some of her friends get smoothies from Otto’s Juice Box every day. Though she’s only used the center’s pharmacy and health services, she said The Arch has everything a student would need. A popular service at The Arch is the pet therapy rooms. Students said they wanted to see and pet the dogs. Margo Moran, a freshman communication and rhetorical studies major, said she was really excited about the service. “My friends and I have been trying to figure out a time that we can all make it because we all really miss our pets,” Moran said. For senior Gianni Villegas, working out at the facility clears his mind and has become his routine. He uses it for a “release,” he said. Over the summer, he started doing meditation and yoga and saw a therapist to clear his mind at The Arch. “It’s like a haven for that, to clear your mind, which is so important to have in an environment like this,” Villegas said. news@dailyorange.com

A grid would also encourage urban sprawl, or the uncontrolled sprawl of urban areas, Lewis said. Increased traffic along I-481 — proposed under the community grid plan — would increase development in the vacant spaces along the highway. Urban sprawl is banned under New York state law. “Right now, those spaces are environmental drainage areas,” he said. “If they are developed with parking lots, gas stations, restaurants and other services, it would have a tremendous negative effect on the environment.” NYSDOT is expected to make a final decision on the future of the I-81 viaduct by April 2020. The community grid is slated to take five years to complete. akweiss@syr.edu

Red flag laws empower families, police Students should give SEM 100 a chance O nondaga County District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick announced that his office would be implementing new training programs dealing with recent gun control legislation passed by the state legislature back in January. The training Fitzpatrick is seeking to implement in the coming weeks is precisely the sort of attitude an authority charged with our safety should adopt. The programs, which will go into effect in the upcoming weeks, are aimed at providing useful information to school administrators, law enforcement and prosecutors, to ensure the new policies prove as effective as possible. These gun laws empower loved ones and law enforcement to intervene to prevent gun violence and save lives. The new programs deal with Extreme Risk Protection Orders, better known as “red flag” laws. These laws allow law enforcement to temporarily seize firearms and ammunition at-risk individuals may possess or have access to. School administrators, family members and district attorneys can petition the courts when they believe someone with access to a firearm may be an imminent and credible threat to themselves or others. “The New ERPO laws give us the ability to respond quickly to public safety concerns regarding threats of violence, assess the seriousness of those threats through a legal process and immediately secure any firearms that the person posing the threat may have access to,” said Domenic Trunfio, first chief assistant district attorney for the Onondaga County

LEAD LEFT HOOK

District Attorney’s Office. Trunfio is an adjunct professor at Syracuse University’s School of Law and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. Both the training initiative and the broader state law were enacted in response to the deadly mass shooting in Parkland, Florida back in February of 2018. Currently, 17 states, including New York, and the District of Columbia, have adopted some iteration of these laws, and four more states have similar bills proposed in their legislative pipeline.

Percent of Americans who support family-initiated Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs)

In recent years, the rise in mass shooting incidents has been erroneously linked by some politicians to mental illness and an alleged failure in treatment. In contrast to politicians eager to scapegoat the mentally ill, the New York state legislature and the local DA’s office have opted to focus on practical, common-sense solutions that appropriately balance public safety with due process. While red flag laws are not without their critics on both sides of the aisle, they generally enjoy broad, bipartisan support

amongst Americans. A July survey showed that 77% of surveyed Americans support family-initiated ERPOs, and about 70% supported law enforcement-initiated ERPOs. These laws signal a significant victory for proponents of tighter gun control legislation. Such actions, while laudable, are not without their political consequences. Fitzpatrick, a Republican DA, faces a determined right-wing challenger in the upcoming November election. Red flag laws are a step in the right direction for gun control in the wake of mass shootings. Restricting access to firearms for at-risk individuals goes beyond the general interest of checking off liberal agenda items regarding gun control — it’s something that directly affects all of us. Last spring, Syracuse police managed to apprehend a Syracuse University student, Xioteng Zhan, before he could attempt a planned mass shooting on campus. Zhan had tried to purchase firearms and had stockpiled ammunition in his downtown apartment. Following a timely intervention by Syracuse police and federal agents, he was expelled from the school and deported back to China. Zhan had confided his plans to a friend via text message and had even sought psychiatric care more than once in the months leading up to his arrest. Had ERPO’s already been in place, it’s possible that authorities could have intervened even sooner.

In America, for example, we have a habit of looking to our founders to justify the way we utilize our freedoms. Don’t get me wrong, I believe strongly in values and founding principles.

t Syracuse University, members of the LGBTQ community are celebrated and appreciated. The university provides a variety of resources for students, ALEX but a more BATTAGLIA recent addiLET’S GET tion to the SU R EA L curriculum could be what really makes Syracuse different from other schools. Last year, SEM 100 was introduced as a required course for all first-year students. The university said the goal of introducing this class was to foster a more inclusive and diverse community on campus for students. While met with some resistance from students as a waste of time, the course has since accomplished even more than what it set out to. What many students figured would be a requirement to check off the list before graduation has become a vital stepping stone for SU students to learn how to open up to classmates and engage as active listeners to their LGBTQ peers. Students in SEM 100 classes have demonstrated openness and willingness to engage in discussion with their classmates about subjects such as sexuality and family backgrounds. When discussing topics as sensitive and personal as gender and sexuality, students said instructors made it clear that everyone was allowed to be vulnerable. Some students share their pronouns and instructors encourage students to announce their own pronouns before speaking. “One thing teachers should do is assume that LGBTQ students will be in the class and let them know they are welcomed — through respect for students’ pronouns and chosen names,” said Margaret Himley, director of LGBT studies. For some students, the SEM 100 classroom is the only place they feel they can truly talk about their sexuality. Freshman Charlotte Kreissler said she is thankful for the opportunity to participate in SEM 100. “We have a chance to meet people that we probably wouldn’t converse with in the first place and talk about subjects like diversity at SU and sexuality,” Kreissler said. To Charlotte and many other

students, the principle of why the course was made alone is enough to create a welcoming environment at school. Charlotte said the class is a good place to discuss sexuality. “I think it’s probably more appropriate than any other class just because it was made for the reason of welcoming students,” she said. Knowing that a class was designed so that students have the opportunity to talk about these subjects prompts them to do so, cultivating unique discussions in the classroom.

Everyone should feel free to express their identities, and no one should feel forced. Margaret Himley director of lgbt studies

“Everyone should feel free to express their identities, and no one should feel forced,” Himley said. Some students don’t believe SEM 100 is a place where meaningful conversations about diversity and inclusion will occur. The course has made many students question if it is even worth their time at all, but if everyone participates in discussion and supports each other’s contributions, the class can be successful. This course has everything it needs to be a helpful tool for new students. The only thing it is missing is students willing to get the most out of it. By actively contributing and participating in class discussions, students are going to gain insight about axes of diversity they might not have otherwise encountered. Every student has something to say, and the SEM 100 classroom is the place to vocalize and hear those things. Syracuse University has made profound efforts to cultivate an accepting and welcoming environment on campus. It’s important to appreciate and take advantage of these resources.

Building harmony SU architecture students create Bird Library art installation

corey henry photo editor By Carlo Di Giammarino contributing writer

enson Joseph and Parinda Pin Sankaeo wanted to be independent. Now, Joseph, a fifth-year architecture student and Sankaeo, a third-year, collaborated on an architectural artwork called “Homo-Symbiosis” located on the first floor of Bird Library. The structure serves as a reminder of the interdependent society that we live in, Joseph said. After one year of work — including both of their spring breaks and Joseph’s summer vacation — the mirror-covered

installation stands in Bird Library. “The piece was really organic,’’ Sangkaeo said. The two met by coincidence on a late Friday night last year in a laser cutting room. At that time, Joseph said it was rare working there. Sangkaeo started helping Joseph improve his digital skill set, while he helped her with building models, an aspect of architecture that she wasn’t confident in. “It was kind of like … a symbiosis,” Joseph said. The two students bonded, despite being from entirely different walks of life, over the fact that they were the see architecture page 8

VPA exhibit to feature outdoor product designs by alumni By Ronny Ditchek

contributing writer

When Don Carr was looking for inspiration for his most recent exhibit, he looked to the outdoors. Carr, a professor in the School of Design at Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts, has organized an exhibit entitled “Destination Outdoors” in the School of Design to present innovative products and creative design work for outdoor usage, he said. “As we go way back in time, we

spend almost all of our time outdoors. Over time, we spend 93% of our time indoors each year,” said Carr. “That small amount of time we are outside and the activities we are engaged in are the times we really cherish.” Carr wanted to attract alumni that were part of the design program. The exhibit features the work of seven industrial and interaction design alumni. He said this exhibit would be interesting for alumni to interpret, whether they’re looking at camping gear or footgear or just something

that people use outdoors. For the past 90 years, the program has created a strong alumni network, Carr added. He said that he sent a mass email inviting alumni to openly interpret the topic of products involving the outdoors. One of those innovations Carr received was the CampStove 2. Designed by Talia Horner, the stove is able to transform fire into electricity that can be used for many sources, like charging phones. Horner contributed this product to BioLite, a company that uses

advanced technologies for people who lack modern electronic access and people who like to be outdoors. Horner echoed Carr’s statement on the effect the outdoor products can bring. “This sort of innovation will help people get outdoors,” Horner said. “I had to look at the perspective of people that were hopefully going to get outdoors and use this technology.” The exhibit also involved a lot of planning regarding the construction of the product, package and design aesthetic.

architecture “boring kids,” who didn’t like to “party or go out.” Sangkaeo is from Bangkok, Thailand, while Joseph spent the first 10 years of his life in Haiti, but considers Florida his home. For the partners, their upbringings played a part in the concoction of the installation. Joseph said he grew up somewhat privileged. As a black man, he was expected to play sports, which he wasn’t interested in pursuing and was often asked why he talked like a white person. This motivated him to use his situation to help others.

Sangkaeo also wanted to be herself growing up. Growing up in an Asian culture, she said people couldn’t stray outside the rules. She disliked how regulations were placed on things like her hair length and the way she dressed. By sixth grade, Sangkaeo said such restrictions pushed her to ask her mother to allow her to transfer to a school system based in American regulations where she could be the person she wanted to be. The two said they didn’t give up on “Homo-Symbiosis” because they were used to the long hours. Joseph said he saw the art piece as encour-

agement for individuals to retain their identities, but never forget that they live in a society that is co-dependent. Both students agreed that there is no single way of interpreting “Homo-Symbiosis.” “We’re not trying to create a movement,” Joseph said. “To me, that’s the beauty of any public art. You can have an idea and then, as you are creating the piece itself, the stuff that culminates is not simply from one mind.” Although the piece has no specific meaning, the artwork does carry a political sentiment. Joseph said art, or any form or expression, is inherently political, and any idea can start to create a ripple effect in ways people

may not imagine. The pair’s next collaborative artwork is going to be located in Slocum Hall and it is going to be more architectural than artistic, Sangkaeo said. “From our point of view, with engineering, architecture and art, there’s no clear separation,” Joseph said. “Art is the up here,” he said, extending his arm high in the air, “and architecture is one of the subtopics.” Commenting on her future aspirations, Sangkaeo said she wanted to “explore and experiment.’’ “I’m totally with her on that,’’ Joseph said.

outdoors began thinking about the project a year prior. Along with other planning components, the project included a phase to figure out how the product would be launched. Another designer involved with the exhibit, Yun Pei Hsiung, said it’s important for designers to allow their product to evolve, and that it isn’t about getting a final design, but instead a “better” design. “We as designers can’t provide a design without acknowledging that we are only giving a ‘better’ version of the design for the time and circumstances that we lived in,” Hsiung said. His product is the One-Megaphone — the more people who are connected through Bluetooth to the device, the louder the volume for the voice becomes. Hsiung said it’s to be used for outdoor protests. Horner stated that the SU Design program helped her develop her career with the lesson of being able to think about design in a broad way. “The way SU taught me was extremely helpful because one can use that in any project,” Horner said. “We have to know a little bit of everything just in case something comes up, such as the illustration for a recent idea,” she said and added that having that base in knowledge is helpful. Hsiung also said that he wouldn’t be the same if he hadn’t gone through the program and met mentors and fellows along the way. rbditche@syr.edu

Challenge accepted SUNY-ESF student competes in reality TV show

s a child, Karter Ohlson would sit around the television screen with her family, fascinated by the athletes swinging and climbing through obstacles on “American Ninja Warrior.” “You’re going to be on that one day,” her grandmother and mother would tell Ohlson in her early years as a gymnast. Little did they know their jokes would become a reality. Ohlson, a 19-year-old SUNY-ESF student, is the youngest woman competitor in her rookie year to advance to the “American Ninja Warrior” season 11 Las Vegas finals. Ohlson was a competitive gymnast for 10 years and also coached at East Coast Gymnastics & Cheer in Winchester, Virginia. But because of the pressure she put on herself, she said, she began to not like gymnastics competitions. She then started ninja training and rock climbing for fun at 15 years old. “I think the only reason I did well on ‘American Ninja Warrior’ is because of my background in gymnastics,” Ohlson said. “Gymnastics built such a strong foundation for me in any sport that I have ever tried. I love that I am strong today now because of it.” Ohlson’s boyfriend and training partner, Eli Bell, said her background in gymnastics sets her apart from other ninjas. A majority of her training, Bell said, was built into her life without Ohlson realizing it. Aspects like body awareness were picked up from her gymnastics background. “She’s like wonder woman — that’s what her advantage is. She’s a superhero,” he said. Ohlson said she was motivated to apply for “American Ninja Warrior” because of Bell, who was in seasons 10 and 11 for the show. Watching her boyfriend’s races made her realize she had the ability to do it as well, Ohlson said.

Once accepted to the show, Ohlson increased her training by going to the gym three to four times a week and creating her own obstacle courses similar to the show that incorporated balancing contraptions, laches, salmon ladders and walls. Ohlson said she has strong dynamic abilities, adding that even though she may not be able to hang onto a bar as long as some people, she can “power through,” jump very high and swing a far distance from one bar to another. Season 11 of “American Ninja Warrior” is currently airing on NBC. Ohlson competed in the Baltimore City Finals where she fell off the “Crank It Up” — an obstacle where players must use their upper body strength to lift a crank while suspended in the air — but finished second in the women roster and advanced to the national finals. In Las Vegas, she fell on the third obstacle, the “Double Dipper.” “When you are up there with all the cameras, it’s a totally different experience,” Ohlson said. “During the runs, everything just left my head and I was just laughing through the whole thing. I felt like a kid on a playground. It’s a once in a lifetime thing that if you had the chance to do, you should do it and that’s why I did it.” Returning to Syracuse for school, Ohlson plans to work as a coach at The Warrior Factory, a ninja gym opening in Syracuse this fall. The Warrior Factory allows people to train at any skill level in a safe environment. With professional equipment and obstacles similar to the show, Kathryn Bolster, The Warrior Factory Syracuse franchisee, said the gym provides a fun way to get stronger without pressure of being compared to someone else. “I am super excited to have her as a strong female role model for all of the young kids that come in,” said Bolster. “She’s going to show people that you don’t have to be 6’3 and built. You can be a normal person and still be able to accomplish this.” mctucker@syr.edu

Syracuse struggles to find options outside of de Vries By Adam Hillman asst. copy editor

One by one, every SU player walked off the turf of J.S. Coyne Stadium, past the bleachers and toward Manley Field House. Except for Claire Cooke and Laura Graziosi. Besides Charlotte de Vries, Syracuse has struggled to score — the star freshman has seven of the 14 team goals. Determined to reverse that trend, the two stayed after practice on Sept. 11. Cooke and Graziosi stood around the cage closest to the scoreboard, slapping passes to one another and practicing penalty corners. Graziosi stood near the perimeter of the penalty circle as Cooke fired her pass after pass. For about five minutes, the two tried to perfect the set piece. “Everyone is aware of [the dependance on Charlotte],” junior Carolin Hoffmann said. “We know we have to get other people scoring.”

Her presence has proved successful thus far, but through the first six games, no one else has succeeded in the same way — only five players other than de Vries have scored this season. Now, entering conference play, Syracuse (5-1) must find other attacking options if it hopes to tally marquee wins against No. 1 North Carolina, No. 2 Duke or No. 5 Virginia. SU head coach Ange Bradley has emphasized finding other options in practice since the Orange’s 2-1 loss to unranked Cornell on Sept. 7. Cooke and Graziosi spent extra time after practice, an attempt to improve so that SU won’t miss the NCAA tournament for its second-straight year. “[de Vries] is not just the only player in our forward line,” Graziosi said. “If they close her off, know that there’s different spaces and we can utilize those spaces.” In that loss to Cornell, de Vries was doubled

and sometimes triple-teamed. When de Vries picked up the ball and tried to weave between defenders, the ball was poked away and sent down toward the Syracuse cage. In the week leading up to the matchup with then-No. 14 St. Joseph’s on Friday, Bradley asked her team to focus on connecting passes and bringing the ball up from the midfield into the attack. She wanted them to see the open spaces and navigate away from defenders, instead of trying to deke them out with a skill move. “It’s not one person,” Bradley said. “That’s never who we’ve been about.” During their mid-week practice, the Orange worked on link-up play and the buildup to scoring chances in one half of the field. Graziosi, Cooke, Hoffmann and others had to figure out how to lure defenders out, make runs down to the end line and fire dangerous crosses into attackers standing

How 1 SU club quantified the Tebow effect By Mitchell Bannon contributing writer

The Syracuse Mets visited Scranton, Pennsylvania to play the biggest game of the season, a one-game tiebreak on Sept. 13 that would decide which Triple-A club would make the International League playoffs. With each team’s season on the line, the attendance was just 2,422 people, much less than the RailRiders’ average of 6,383. Despite the importance of the game, the low attendance may have been because of who was noticeably absent: Tim Tebow. Tebow’s cult following has risen to such a degree that students from the Syracuse University Baseball Statistics and Sabermetrics club wrote a research paper entitled, “Celebrity attraction in the minors: the case of Tim Tebow,” which was published in the Journal of Economic and Finance in January 2019. After two BCS national championships, an NFL playoff victory and a foray into broadcasting, Tebow has been trying, with varying levels of success, to make a career out of professional baseball. Prior to an injury that sidelined him for the last few weeks of the 2019 baseball season — including the matchup with Scranton — fans filled the minor league bleachers at every level to watch the quarterback-turned-outfielder play. Syracuse’s Baseball Analytics Club took note. Three SU students — Charles Garrett, Cody Barbuto and Kyle Liotta, in conjunction with Dr. Rodney Paul — a professor in from page 12

cornell found a winning goal after trailing two separate times. What McIntyre described postgame as a “moment of quality” from Singelmann helped Syracuse (2-1-3, 0-0-1 Atlantic Coast) grab the winner, defeating Cornell (2-2), 3-2, on Tuesday night at SU Soccer Stadium. As McIntyre recounted the freshman’s score, goalkeeper Christian Miesch wrapped his arm around Singelmann and repeated his head coach’s remark. “We came back and found a way to win the game,” McIntyre said. The Orange had already squandered one- and two-goal leads against Yale and New Hampshire, respectively. After SU took the defending ACC champions Louisville to extra time in a draw last from page 12

goals nine. Teri Jackson and Panaggio, both freshmen, flashed their talents in extensive minutes Sunday. There are 16 SU players who have recorded a shot this season, 11 with three or more. Part of the scoring drought is because of shooting inaccuracy. In the 14th minute of the game with St. John’s, midfielder Stephanie deLaforcade was gifted a one-onone opportunity with St. John’s goalie Naya Lipkens, but Lipkens read the shot perfectly and caught it.

SU’s sports analytics program — deduced that Tebow brought in an additional $30,000 to $40,000 of revenue to each minor league game. “It was amazing how he had so much impact, just his presence of being there,” Liotta said. “He wasn’t a very good player.” Modeled after a previous paper that quantified the impact of Michael Jordan’s time with the White Sox Double-A affiliate, the paper sought to quantify Tebow’s monetary impact by using an ordinary least squares regression model — a statistical tool used to analyze the effect of unknown parameters — to gauge the effect of his presence. “It wasn’t that hard,” Paul said. “We had all the stories of, you know, how well [the Mets’ minor league attendance] was doing.” The students and Paul also deduced that Tebow’s on field production had little to no impact on the money he was generating. “When he played better as the season went on,” Paul said. “[Attendance] didn’t seem to be sensitive to that much at all, people were just going to see him.” More than 50 students pack into Falk room 200 on Wednesday nights to talk baseball. More importantly, they talk numbers. SU’s baseball statistics and sabermetrics club looks beyond the box scores and dives into the sport that’s been taken over by data-driven decisions. Data analysis is prevalent and growing in almost every major sport to analyze players and gain a competitive advantage. But the real moneyball is done in economic analysis, an executive for the Oakland Athletics said,

an essential and growing component of most professional sports franchises. Liotta, the head of the baseball sabermetrics club at SU, interned in the Milwaukee Brewers business analytics department last summer. Liotta worked with data on sponsorship analysis, social media ratings and feedback from fans. Perl said that the baseball and business side of organizations are almost two separate companies working in tandem. “There are a great amount of decisions being made that are driven by business decisions, not by the play on the field,” Perl said. In the minor leagues, the impact of bigname superstars that come on extremely rare cases, like Tebow or Jordan, have an especially great impact on a team’s attendance compared to stars in the majors. However, every organization, no matter what level, tries to find who and how to market its players most effectively. With analytics being a driving factor in almost every decision a professional sports organization makes in 2019, the amount of data points teams are looking at on a daily basis “goes much deeper than the public knows,” said Justin Perline, a 2019 SU graduate who works as a quantitative analyst for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The public was aware that Tebow’s onfield performance was not the only reason the Mets signed him in 2016, but the paper’s formula derived that Tebow’s signing has meant much more to the Mets bottom line than the win-loss column. mbannon@syr.edu

near the cage — all things that de Vries usually does for the Orange. In penalty corners and advantage situations, SU fired shot-after-shot at goalkeepers Syd Taylor and Sarah Sinck. Against St. Joseph’s, SU initially appeared to not have found a solution. Through regulation, de Vries had notched the only goal for the Orange off her back-hit. That changed in overtime. After Graziosi received the ball on a penalty corner, she took two assertive steps and whacked her stick at the ball, sending it flying into the back of the cage. The goal gave the Orange their first top-25 win of the season. But it also showed progress toward a balanced offense centered around but not reliant upon de Vries. For Graziosi, it was a sign that her postpractice drill two days prior had paid off. adhillma@syr.edu | @_adamhillman

scoring mate heading it back across goal or into the net. Rather, the ball went untouched, bounced high off the ground and into the top right corner past unprepared Cornell goalkeeper Ryan Shellow. The game’s next goal came at the expense of another goalkeeping error, this time from Miesch. Cornell won a free kick from just inside the halfway point, Fuller launched it into the box and Miesch mistimed his move from the goal. The SU goalkeeper rose to catch the ball but instead punched it to the ground. It fell to Cornell’s Ryan Bayne, who poked it through a flurry of players and into an empty net. “I was going to come out for sure. My idea was to catch the ball,” Miesch said. “I shouldn’t have punched it. Looking back at it, it’s easy to say that now.” Just as it did after Pedlow’s opener, the Orange responded strongly. With just over 10 minutes remaining in the first half, SU’s Simon Triantafillou chipped a ball into the box toward Raposo. After a scoreless second half and opening five minutes of the first overtime, Singelmann, who has started three games at center back this season, notched the winner. Senior John-Austin Ricks found the freshman wide-open and in an advanced position from a throw-in, Singelmann drove into the penalty area one-on-one against a Cornell defender, side-stepped, and slotted the game-ending strike into the bottom left corner. The goal was his first-ever for the Orange. “Noah showed he has quality,” McIntyre said. “When the game opened up a bit, he showed he could influence the game. To finish with his non-dominant left foot was a reward.” ddschnei@syr.edu

Saturday, the Orange were left with a mixed bag of results and performances. Overtime was the breakthrough. SU finally finished off a game. It was outshot and probably fortunate not to concede at the end of regulation, but the Orange finally found their finishing prowess in extra time. Before the Orange’s improved finishing earned them their first win in four matches, SU’s failure to play out of the back led to the opening goal within 120 seconds of the game’s start. Cornell attacking midfielder Harry Fuller whipped in a cross that missed its intended attacker, but fell to forward George Pedlow, whose left footed shot wrong-footed SU goalie Christian Miesch to give the Big Red a 1-0 lead. Massimo Ferrin lofted in a free kick a minute later that missed all of the Syracuse attack-

ers and Cornell defenders. The goal knotted the game at one. “We would prefer it if the other team got out of the way,” McIntyre quipped. “If you can put the ball in dangerous areas, you’ve got a chance. Hopefully some guys get a touch. That first goal was huge because we conceded so early.” Cornell earned a free kick just inside midfield, but when the lofted ball came into the box into the 19th minute, Miesch was unable to corral it out of the air. He instead dropped it into the mix of players vying for the ball. The ball dropped to the feet of Cornell’s Ryan Bayne, whose ground shot reached the back of the net to restore Cornell’s 2-1 lead. Once play restarted after a foul later in the half, SU’s Simon Triantafillou sent in a lofted ball to 5-foot-7 Ryan Raposo, who out-leaped

a defender and headed the ball in forward Severin Soerlie’s direction. Soerlie needed just two touches, one to stop the ball and another to turn and fire it into the goal to level the game at two. In the second half, Syracuse’s defense was reeling. Scrambling. Scrounging up any defense it could to prevent Cornell from taking the lead. “In the second half, we had about 20 minutes we were drowning,” Miesch said. The Big Red had their chances to win it in regulation, and another chance in extra time. But Singelmann’s finish off the throw-in gave SU the win. “We hope it will be a big breakthrough,” Singelmann said. “On Saturday we have maybe the biggest game on our schedule in [No. 1] Wake Forest, and it’s good to go in with a win.”

On Sunday, freshman Kailey Brenner played the ball into the box perfectly but center back Shannon Aviza’s shot was rejected by the Fordham goalie back to Aviza. She then hit the crossbar and another rebound found deLaforcade, who sent a shot wide left. “I figured let’s put the other team under pressure, let’s get forward and see if we can mix it up and use a new strategy,” Adams said. The scoring has to come from somewhere. Forward Kate Hostage, last season’s leading goal scorer, is out for the season after an injury suffered in the spring. Midfielder Georgia Allen, who was third

on the team in points last season, missed two games while playing with the U-21 England national team before suffering a concussion against Kent State. Allen is expected back soon. Senior Sydney Brackett didn’t play on Sunday and had a brace on her right leg. Redshirt sophomore Laurel Ness, who scored the first goal of Syracuse’s season, has been unavailable since an injury in the second half of the Kent State game. Through the mixing and matching of the lineups, the Orange haven’t had the luxury of establishing the kind of chemistry other

teams may have. “It’s going, it’s getting better for sure,” Root said. “I think you can see that we’re starting to build up and get forward more.” Adams inherited a defensive-minded program that’s lacked scoring for years, and she knows her offense is new. The Orange are a beat off, whether it be Root not pulling the trigger in front of the net or Fischetti taking one extra touch, as Adams noted. “It’s just about gaining confidence,” Adams said. “And once they figure out they can do it, the magic will start happening.”

Defense, goalies struggle in 3-2 win By David Schneidman staff writer

NOAH SINGELMANN scored his first career goal at Syracuse in overtime against Cornell. Four goals were featured in the first half, but Singelmann’s strike ended the game at 3-2. gavin liddell staff photographer

After a tie ended its last 3 contests, a game-winner led to a 3-2 win over Cornell

By Anthony Dabbundo asst. sports editor

hen freshman Noah Singelmann scored his first goal with Syracuse on Tuesday night, he was puzzled. His gamewinning overtime goal had given the Orange their second win of the season. But in Germany, Singelmann wasn’t used to the golden goal rule — first overtime goal wins — used in collegiate soccer. “I was a little bit confused that it was over but it’s a great feeling,”

Singelmann said. SU head coach Ian McIntyre said that the Orange had to be better off of restarts from out of play after the Sept. 8 game against New Hampshire. They had conceded a last-second goal against the Wildcats, then Singelmann had his chance to score off a restart in the 98th minute. He turned his back to goal, corralled the ball into his feet before he turned and fired his left-footed shot off the far-left post and into the goal. Syracuse’s three-game streak of ties was over. Finally, the Orange see cornell page 10

Orange are winless and scoreless in September By Eric Storms staff writer

As Alexandra Panaggio’s overtime shot just feet from the net sailed wide right on Sunday, Nicky Adams placed her hands on her head, tilting her neck back slightly as she turned toward the crowd in disbelief. Another perfect chance to score was wasted. Another minute without a goal. Panaggio’s chance came in the 98th minute of Sunday’s game when a Taylor Bennett free kick from near midfield landed right at Panaggio’s feet. She missed. The goal

would have snapped a four-game SU scoreless streak, but instead the Orange (2-4-1) tied Fordham 0-0 after two extra time periods. Syracuse will now enter conference play without a goal in 498 consecutive minutes, scoreless since Aug. 29. The chances were there. After being outshot 61-30 over the past four games, SU fired off 23 (nine on goal) on Sunday to Fordham’s six. And yet, the Orange still failed to find the back of the net. “I think [we feel] just general frustration with not being able to quite finish,” forward Meghan Root said. “We were in the 18 for a long

time, a lot of scrappiness, where balls are kinda loose, just wanting to actually get on it and put that away.” Syracuse recorded just 11 goals last season in 18 games. Adams took the reins of the program, hoping to improve the offense. With 33 shots on route to a 2-0 start, it appeared SU was capable of overhauling the offense. But Adams’ vision hasn’t quite grown to fruition since, as injuries and missed chances have the Orange looking more and more like 2018’s iteration. Adams listed “personnel and conditions” as part of the difficulty in finishing in the final third. Set pieces

such as the Orange’s eight corner kicks on Sunday remain a large part of the game plan, but it can only go so far when there are only 13 eligible players left healthy. That results in lots of minutes to go around, as well as players playing out of position. Santita Ebangwese, the third string goalie, has logged 94 minutes at forward over the past three games, including 42 against Kent State on Sept. 8. Freshmen have been forced into more action than usual. First-year forward Marisa Fischetti has recorded five starts and is third-highest in shots with see goals page 10

Syracuse’s double overtime bout against Louisville last Friday was a trademark scoreless draw. Both teams stayed compact in defense. A combined 46 fouls between the sides halted play constantly. Confident and, at times, acrobatic goalkeeping from SU’s Christian Miesch and Louisville’s Jake Gelnovatch kept the ball out of the net. The first half of Tuesday night’s match between Syracuse and Cornell, particularly the opening five minutes, was the exact opposite. Less than two minutes in, poor marking from the Orange’s backline gave the Big Red’s striker George Pedlow a wide-open chance at the back post, which he buried. Ninety seconds later, Massimo Ferrin’s lofted cross from a long-range free kick somehow skidded into the goal. Undisciplined defending or goalkeeping was at the center of all five goals as Syracuse (2-1-3, 0-0-1 Atlantic Coast) inched past Cornell (2-2), 3-2, in overtime on a clear Tuesday night at SU Soccer Stadium. The Orange fell behind twice and clawed back to even it both times before Noah Singelmann’s game-winner with three minutes remaining in the first overtime period.

If you can put good balls in dangerous areas, you’ve got a chance Ian McIntyre su head coach

“It was a poor start to the match against a very good team,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “But [it was] a great response. We came back twice and found a way to win the game.” The victory snaps SU’s streak of three straight draws and marks the fourth consecutive game the Orange have gone to overtime. Syracuse hadn’t yet advanced the ball past midfield when the visitors opened the scoring. When Cornell’s Harry Fuller gathered the ball in ample space on the right wing, nobody tracked Pedlow, the Big Red’s main striker, as he darted towards the back post. By the time SU center back Dylan McDonald noticed Pedlow’s run, the ball was already on its way to him. Moments later, it nestled in the bottom right corner of the net. Before 90 seconds had passed, the Orange were level. Ryan Raposo won a free kick roughly 35 yards from the goal, a distance Ferrin usually doesn’t shoot from. The senior forward opted to loop a cross toward the back post in hopes of a teamsee scoring page 10
