yracuse University is in its second round of a campuswide hiring initiative to increase collaboration between faculty and support research at the university.

The university approved a total of 53 hires across seven academic and research areas as part of its Cluster Hires Initiative in November 2018. Faculty hired are put into clusters, which are multidisciplinary groups that combine people with similar research interests.

Now, SU is looking to expand the initiative. Three more clusters have been proposed, bringing the total to 10 if approved, and the university will also add to the faculty hired through the initiative.

“At this point we are asking our faculty, working with their chairs, (assistant deans of research) and deans to propose

positions,” said John Liu, vice president for research, at a Monday information session on the initiatives.

Chancellor Kent Syverud announced a plan in February 2019 to hire 200 faculty over the course of five years through the Cluster Hires Initiative and the Signature Hires Initiative. The amount of hires between both initiatives will change as clusters and positions are proposed, said Christina Leigh Docteur, director of proposal support services, in an email.

Thirty-three hires were approved in May 2018 as part of the Signature Hires Initiative, a push to find individual faculty in specific research fields. As of Tuesday, 25 signature hires have been completed and eight are in the process of being filled. Fourteen cluster hires have been completed.

One cluster currently in the process of hiring is BioInspired Syracuse: Institute for Material and Living Systems, an expansion of SU’s Syracuse Biomaterials see faculty page 4

SU surveys students on 3-year housing requirement

By Gabe Stern

asst. news editor

Syracuse University sent a survey last week gauging student opinions on campus housing. One question has sparked concerns among past and current Student Association leaders.

The survey contained a question asking students if they would support a three-year live-on policy if the oncampus residential experience was “transformed to meet the needs of

contemporary college students.” SU currently requires students to live on campus for two years.

In interviews with The Daily Orange, current and former Student Association leaders expressed concerns over the effects that the potential policy would bring, citing financial inaccessibility, negative mental health impacts and an overall decrease in the student experience.

“We don’t think that a three-year housing requirement is beneficial to

the student body,” said current President Mackenzie Mertikas.

Ghufran Salih, a former SA president, detailed difficulties that came from living in residence halls her freshman and sophomore year. She downgraded her meal plan during her sophomore year, and at points struggled to get by with food, she said.

She was often one of the few students of color on the floor of her dorm and found more comfort living in her off-campus house. Salih described liv-

ing on campus as an “uncomfortable, restrictive environment.”

“A three-year housing requirement would unambiguously hurt students in so many different ways,” said former SA Vice President Kyle Rosenblum.

The survey included more than 100 questions in total. It asked for student feedback on current dormitory conditions, satisfaction with current on- and off-campus living situations and how the university see housing page 4

Syracuse University ’s 2020 Commencement will be held at the Manley Field House in case of severe weather.

The university officially announced on Sept. 19 that commencement will be held on the Quad to accommodate for renovations to the Carrier Dome. If the ceremony is required to move indoors due to weather, transportation will be provided from Main Campus to Manley, a multi-purpose arena near SU’s South Campus.

Commencement 2020 would be split into two separate ceremonies if moved to Manley, one with five schools at 9:30 a.m. and the second with seven schools at 1 p.m on Sunday, May 10.

“The ceremonies would be identical with the exception of only recognizing those schools and colleges in attendance,” according to SU’s Commencement 2020 website.

Seating on the Quad will hold the same number of people as Dome seating did. Tiered and floor seating will be available on the Quad. Both Communication Access Real-time Translation and American Sign Language interpretation services will be provided.

The ceremony ’s sta r t time may also be changed in response to weather conditions. Commencement could begin as early as 8:30 a.m. or as late as 2 p.m. as part of the severe weather plan.

Commencement is traditionally held in the Dome, but the building will close temporarily beginning in March 2020 for renovations. The Dome is currently undergoing renovations to its roof as part of a $118 million renovation plan.

SU also plans to install a vertically-hung scoreboard before the 2020 football season and a new sound and lighting system.

The Dome opened in 1980, and Commencement has been held there every year since 1981. In recent months, some SU parents have expressed their concerns over having Commencement on the Quad on social media.

Chancellor Kent Syverud said at a University Senate meeting on Sept. 18 that he had heard from “a lot of people” about graduation see ceremony page 4

Syracuse officials address lead poisoning

By Emma Folts

asst. news editor

Syeisha Byrd purchased a home in Syracuse’s Northside neighborhood in 2010. The home was built in 1850, and she liked its original oak floors and spacious backyard for her son.

Byrd, the director of engagement programs at Syracuse University’s Hendricks Chapel, knew there was lead in her home after an inspector visited. The bathroom, front windows and front porch all had lead. The windows were replaced, and the affected areas were repainted with three coats of paint. The front porch was covered in indoor-outdoor carpet.

Byrd is the mother of three children. After the porch was covered,

she and her sons spent a lot of time playing there during the summer.

She thought it was a safe place for her family to play. But later two of Byrd’s children were found with high levels of lead in their systems.

“For months, while my boys and I were going through this, I was angry, sad and scared,” she said. “I already knew the effects lead poisoning could have on children.”

Byrd was one of several speakers at a town hall on lead poisoning in the city held in downtown Syracuse on Tuesday. The event was the last in a series of three meetings aimed at addressing lead poisoning in the city.

City and county officials also spoke at the town hall. About 50 people attended the town meeting, held

in the John H. Mulroy Civic Center.

In his remarks, Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh acknowledged that lead poisoning disproportionately impacts individuals, particularly young people, residing in specific city neighborhoods.

“We need to do more, and we’re committed to doing more,” Walsh said. “We’re focused on building off of the momentum that we have right now.”

Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon said local departments need to work in a coordinated effort to ensure constituents are sufficiently serviced. Success is achieved by coming together, he said.

The county received $5.6 million to combat lead. Additionally, the city and county collectively received a

$4.1 million grant in 2018 from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The HUD grant will cover lead paint remediation of up to 250 rental units, Walsh said. The Central New York Community Foundation, a public charity, is spending $2 million over four years to address lead in Syracuse.

Also at the town hall, Debra Lewis, lead program coordinator for the Onondaga County Health Department, spoke about new state regulations concerning blood-lead levels that went into effect Tuesday.

The regulations lower the standard for elevated lead levels in children’s blood from 10 to 5 micrograms per deciliter. The legislation see lead page 4

Proposal threatens rights of student unions Richard J Chang asst. copy editor

A change in federal labor regulations could threaten the ability of Syracuse University graduate student employees to unionize.

The National Labor Relations Board currently considers graduate student workers as employees rather than primarily students.

This gives graduate employees, like teaching and research assistants, a federally-protected right to unionize. A proposal released on Sept. 20

would take away federal protections of unionization rights.

Graduate workers at SU aren’t unionized. That means they can’t bargain with the university about their pay or benefits.

A group of graduate students launched a union drive in fall 2018 as Syracuse Graduate Employees United. The Graduate Student Organization, the academic governing body for graduate students, does not have a legally protected right to negotiate with SU.

In the past, graduate students at private universities have looked to the NLRB as a guardian of their union rights. Unionization through the board typically involves the graduate student body taking a vote on whether to recognize a union as their legal bargaining unit.

“Things like pay, benefits, all of that — absolutely grads should be worried about that. And not just because of the new rule,” Lucas Hann, a graduate teaching assistant in communications

and rhetorical studies. “We don’t negotiate. If the university decided they want to pay us less next year, they just do it.”

Graduate students should be worried about the proposal threatening their ability to negotiate with the university, Hann said. He is also a member of SGEU’s Organizing Committee.

The NLRB has a 60-day comment period for people to give their opinions on the proposed regulation.

faculty Institute. It will employ 13 people from the cluster hires initiative.

The purpose of the institute is “to perform cutting edge world class research that has a real impact on society both in materials design and then health and medicine,” said Lisa Manning, BioInspired Syracuse’s founding director. The institute was conceptualized last January, and the hiring process began in March.

Dacheng Ren, associate director of BioInspired Syracuse, estimated that the hiring process will be completed in the next two years. Three of the 13 positions have been filled, Ren said.

The institute is bringing together faculty from all around campus, including physics, biology and chemistry faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences and biomedical, chemical, mechanical and aerospace engineering faculty from the College of Engineering and Computer Science.

“The thing that is most exciting is that the faculty are already starting to work together across departments and even across colleges in new ways,” Manning said. “And to me, that means that students will have the opportunity to work with multiple faculty on projects that aren’t bounded by departments.” from page 1

housing can improve the on-campus living experience, among other topics.

SU is conducting a housing review meant to help determine future needs for students living on campus. The review is guided by input received during the 2019-20 academic year, SU announced in July. The university’s housing survey closed on Monday at 11:59 p.m.

As part of the survey, SU outlined potential on-campus housing options that participants were asked to choose from.

The lowest price per individual was for a traditional, shared room at $920 to $970 per month.

The most expensive was for a two-bedroom apartment with private bedrooms, priced at $1,290 to $1,380 per month. The rates include utility expenses, according to the survey.

Prices did not include the cost of a meal plan, which SU students are required to have if they live in on-campus residence halls. Meal plans from page 3

is a “dramatic change” in the state that holds health care providers accountable for providing more comprehensive services to a larger number of children who now require them, she said.

“We are very much in support of providing this comprehensive list of services to children with elevated blood-lead test results,” Lewis said. “We’ll work very closely with providers in our community to coordinate the care of each child with an elevated test result.”

Another institute on campus looking to gain an expanded, more interdisciplinary faculty through the cluster hiring process is the Aging Studies Institute — part of aging, behavioral health and neuroscience cluster.

SU approved nine hires for the cluster, and five of them are intended to be affiliated with the institute.

The ASI conducts interdisciplinary research, pulling faculty from both the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics to study aging related issues at SU. In its cluster hires, the institute is looking to “build bridges” and support “multidisciplinary collaboration,” said Janet Wilmoth, director of the ASI and cluster hire representative in the institute’s search committee.

She said she hopes the interdisciplinary push will help students expand their understanding of how to collaborate and work in teams, she said. By engaging faculty from multiple backgrounds, the institute’s research abilities will increase and expand into the student’s education, Wilmoth said.

“I also think that it is about the students,” she said. “It’s not just about the research it is about, you know, trying to get the best scholars on campus and doing that is going to benefit the students, too.”

In addition to the new position propos-

als, Liu spoke about three more cluster proposals at Monday’s information session — quantum information science and cryptography, citizenship and democratic institutions and digital and immersive praxes.

The new clusters need to be approved, but hiring proposals can still include positions in them.

The clusters, both the seven approved and three proposed, are multipurpose, Liu said.

They have four main intentions: aligning hires with research and funding trends; promoting interdisciplinary collaboration; allowing studies to address social problems and improving education by hiring scholar educators, he said.

Part of the idea behind the clusters is bringing together strengths, said Kevin Crowston, associate dean for research in the School of Information Studies. Collaborating is difficult in most universities because people are in different schools or departments, meaning they may not have many opportunities to interact with each other, he said.

In the iSchool, three positions are being hired in two clusters, said Crowston, who also chairs the search committee for the iSchool hires. There will be two in the cluster on artificial intelligence, deep learning, and autonomous systems and policy — which includes SU’s Autonomous Systems Policy Institute, launched in May. The other hire will be in the innovation

and entrepreneurship cluster. The University Libraries are also part of that cluster with one position being hired for, said Scott Warren, associate dean for research excellence. The cluster is building on a “campuswide ecosystem” and will study in part the effects of participating in systems of innovation and entrepreneurship on student outcomes, he said.

“There’s a recognition that there’s an increasing number of topics and problems that really span across disciplines and that having interchange between people from different disciplines is very valuable,” Crowston said.

The deadline for the next round of position proposals is Nov. 1, after which the submissions will go through a series of reviews and evaluations. As part of the approval process, the proposals will have to be greenlighted by the Provost Review Panel.

Eleven people sit on the panel, including Liu and Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives and Innovation Mike Haynie. Provost Michele Wheatly and Chancellor Syverud have the final approval of cluster hires.

The second round of proposals should be approved by the end of February 2020.

Fall 2021 is the earliest start date for approved positions. india@dailyorange.com | @IndyRow aeclemen@syr.edu

Additional information on the ceremonies SU’s individual schools and colleges will be provided in the months to come.

Graduating students will also have an opportunity to “bid an appropriate farewell” to the Dome before it closes for renovations.

In the case of severe weather, the schools and colleges participating in the ceremony from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. are:

These schools and colleges would be in the 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. ceremony:

ranged from $2,070 to $4,635 per semester for SU students enrolled in fall 2018 or later.

Amir Rahnamay-Azar, SU’s senior vice president and chief financial officer, said in an emailed statement to The D.O. that the university is gathering information to enrich the campus environment in an emailed statement.

Brailsford & Dunlavey, a consulting firm specializing in higher education facilities, developed the survey.

The D.O. asked an SU spokesperson how long SU has considered implementing a three year live-on policy and how seriously the idea is being considered at the moment.

“During the Campus Framework development process, which began nearly five years ago, feedback from students demonstrated an interest in living on campus to be closer to resources and services,” said Rahnamay-Azar in his statement.

Additional student housing is a priority in SU’s Campus Framework Plan, a 20-year initiative meant to transform the university’s

campus. At a Campus Framework open forum in February 2017, Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly said the university was in early discussions of a three-year, on-campus living requirement.

Wheatly cited findings from a 2014 MyCampus survey that stated students liked living on campus to better access resources. She also referred to research showing that students who live on campus longer tend to have higher retention rates and perform better in classes.

James Franco, SA president during the 201718 academic year, initiated a conversation on three-year housing at one of the monthly meetings he attended with Chancellor Kent Syverud and other officials, he said. Franco heard rumors at the time about SU implementing the policy, but he said the university wasn’t seriously considering the policy.

“They never treated it as a serious thing that they were considering, because it was a pretty strong student stance that it was a ‘no’ from the student body,” Franco said.

Ben Tupper, owner of student housing rental company Rent From Ben, administered a survey last semester about a potential threeyear housing requirement to 714 respondents.

When asked if a requirement is beneficial to college students, 1.3% responded yes, 93% responded no and 5.7% responded “maybe.”

Salih and Rosenblum, who led SA during the 2018-2019 academic year, discussed the three-year housing with administrators during the fall. Other campus issues began to unfold, such as the Greek life review and the transfer student experience, and the discussions died down, they said. Mertikas and current Vice President Sameeha Saied have had no formal talks so far with administrators about the policy, they said.

“We would definitely hope to be involved in that conversation,” Mertikas said.

include conducting environmental risk assessments and in-home lead inspections. Lewis said the department also ensures that health care providers perform developmental evaluations and screening to children who need them and provide families with resources.

Onondaga County’s blood-lead levels are close to state and national ones, Lewis said. Overall, the number of children found to have an elevated blood-lead level has decreased.

“There are still more children in our community that are identified with elevated test results than we’re happy about,” she said.

“We’re continuing to work with our community partners and with our provider com-

munity to make sure that we are addressing this through testing, education, outreach and environmental management.”

Melanie Carden, of the county District Attorney’s office, discussed the charges landlords could face if they ignore orders regarding lead paint at Tuesday’s meeting. The charges depend on the continuous nature of the ignorance, she said.

Potential charges include endangering the welfare of a child, Carden said. If a child becomes severely ill or dies, the landlord can be charged with reckless endangerment or homicide.

Seven landlords were charged this year with willful violation of health laws, a class A

misdemeanor, for failing to address lead paint on their properties.

Near the end of the town hall attendees were given the opportunity to ask questions.

Darlene Medley, a single mother of nine who’s twin boys were affected by lead, said Byrd was the only person to speak at the forum about children and tenants.

“I keep hearing about all these different grants that are being granted for the city, that are gonna be granted for the landlords.

Where’s the grants to protect the tenants and the babies?” Medley said. “Children are being poisoned like it’s okay, and it’s being swept underneath the rug.”

recognized and not — at other universities and labor unions such as United Auto Workers and Service Employees International United.

Many service, maintenance and library workers at SU are currently represented through part of SEIU. “We want the greatest number of comments to come through as possible,” said Jamie Gagliano, an SGEU member. “And we want those voices to be as individual as possible to prevent the NLRB from clumping them together and respond to them as one comment.”

Union efforts have helped relationships between employees and employers — contrary to what many believe, said Gretchen Purser,

an associate professor of sociology at SU who specializes in work and labor. Without unions, graduate students do not have mechanisms for addressing concerns, as there is “always a power relationship with faculty,” she said.

The NLRB is responsible for determining the rights of employees and protections of union bargaining. Three of the four current board members are Republican appointees. Studentemployee rights change when a new administration holds the White House, Purser said.

Gagliano said because SU manages graduate employees by department or school, certain departments make more money than others.

This is one reason why advocating for better

working conditions individually is not as effective as collectively, she said.

Graduate employees will likely continue to advocate for better working conditions without bargaining with the university if the proposal goes into effect, Purser said. But SU will still have no obligation to bargain with them.

“The university has a vested interest in the work and career prospects of graduate students because that’s what makes the programs strong,” Hann said. “The fact that we have offices and salaries and health care plans and are required to do these things seems to indicate that we’re working.”

SU must explain new housing proposal Colleges can make going abroad more accessible A campus-wide housing survey sent last week contained a question that asked students if they would support a three-year live-on policy if the on-campus housing experience was “transformed to meet the needs of contemporary college students.”

Students have widely criticized the vague nature of the inquiry, which came more than 80 questions into the survey. The survey was active for less than a week.

While it is important to get student feedback about housing, it is unreasonable to expect productive results to come from an ambiguous question buried deep in a survey more than 100 questions long.

If SU wants useful and genuine feedback from students, they need to provide more information about why they are asking about a threeyear live-on policy, and they need to tell students what that policy, if enacted, would look like.

SU officials first presented the possibility of a three-year on-campus housing requirement for students at a February 2017 Campus Framework open forum. The Campus Framework is a 20-year initiative meant to transform the university’s campus. The proposal to require oncampus living for an additional year accompanied discussions about moving student housing away from South Campus, specifically for freshmen and sophomores.

It is unclear how SU would accommodate that many more students on Main Campus. The Campus Framework draft calls for a total of 3,600 new beds to be

constructed on Main Campus. For context, Ernie Davis Hall, SU’s newest dorm, houses 250 students.

Its construction cost $54 million.

Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly cited findings from a 2014 MyCampus survey that stated students liked living on campus to better access resources. She referenced research that she said shows students who live on campus longer tend to have higher retention rates and perform better in classes.

Those supposed benefits address only a narrow scope of the student experience, though.

The costs directly associated with on-campus living, as well as additional required costs such as meal plans, adversely affect students who might struggle to pay for an additional year on campus. For students navigating the finances of attending SU, a third year of mandatory on-campus living certainly does not set the stage for peak academic performance — it disadvantages them while their university makes more money.

The survey’s obscure reference to student housing that meets “the needs of contemporary college students” provides little clarity.

Students also took issue with the question’s placement in what many considered an unnecessarily lengthy survey. For a question with considerable implications, the university did not put it in a position that would assure students stuck around long enough to answer it. And for those who did stick around, SU did not provide the critical context students

needed to fairly respond.

Students are justified in feeling caught off guard by the question. It is one deserving of more explanation than SU provided to students, and it provokes even more questions that the university has not had the chance to comprehensively address.

Housing — its monetary, academic and social costs — is deeply personal for many SU students. Discussions that fundamentally affect how students navigate college life deserve more than a vague mention at the end of a hundred question survey students had less than a week to complete.

SU officials should explore ways to speak to students about housing and the Campus Framework that do not inherently undermine the importance of those conversations. If they want productive feedback — to understand the nuanced and widely diverse implications of a threeyear live-on policy — they need to talk to students. They need organized meetings and forums.

They need to provide details. And they need to show students that they understand the gravity of what they are proposing.

S

yracuse University released its annual campus security report today, cataloging all incidents of criminal activity on SU’s campus since 2016. While alcohol and drug offenses accounted for the bulk of the listed crimes, sexual assault and harassment were prominent in the report. Twelve of the report’s 73 pages were dedicated to defining sexual assault and harassment, outlining university and enforcement procedures for sexual crimes and detailing the rights of student victims.

WRITING FROM THE LEFT in residential facilities, it is safe to assume that some perpetrators were students. Since this report only goes back to 2016, it is possible that many of these students, if suspended as opposed to expelled, still attend SU. Unfortunately, the security report doesn’t detail whether the 35 rapists were students or not, or what the punishments for their crimes were.

This leaves the reader with more questions than answers.

SU is under no obligation to release this information. The current security and safety report certainly satisfies institutional requirements, as well as the Clery Asst.

Act. Releasing this information, when totaled over three years, will still preserve anonymity. It will also provide a much clearer picture of Syracuse University’s safety.

Outlining the policies that guide SU’s response to sexual assault is not enough. It is imperative that students know the realities of how those policies are implemented.

By providing this information, the university takes on a new level of accountability and allows students to fully grasp the state of safety and security on campus.

yracuse University, like many other colleges, strongly advocates for its students to study abroad. These cultural experiences invite students to step out of their comfort zones GEORGE and immerse HASHEMI themselves in A SLICE unknown terOF CUSE ritories.

However, while studying abroad is important and beneficial, it is a luxury, and luxuries come with a high price tag. A person’s financial status should not limit their access to once in a lifetime opportunities.

Many universities need to do more to make abroad experiences accessible for broader percentage of the student body.

According to the 2013-14 data from the National Institute of International Education, 45% of Syracuse students studied abroad — the 19th highest participation rate nationwide. Syracuse sends students to Southeast Asia, Europe, and Australia, among other places.

It is no secret that programs like these are expensive. SU students who want to study abroad pay a semester’s tuition in addition to a program fee specific to their destination. Some program fees are as much as $8,000, according to the Syracuse Abroad website. Additionally, the website shows that personal expenses can also amount to more than $8,500.

While some schools may not be the most understanding when it comes to students’ financial limitations, Syracuse’s abroad program provides a number of resources for students who might be unable to pay for a semester abroad. Syracuse Abroad has a small office in the basement of Bird Library where students can access additional information about the programs or meet with a program adviser. The Syracuse Abroad website also provides access to a number of grants and scholarships students can apply for.

Senior Sophie Akal, who studied in Madrid this past summer, said SU was helpful in answering her questions about paying for her time abroad, but said she wouldn’t have been able to go to Madrid without financial assistance.

“Financial aid was the only reason I was able to cover the cost of going abroad,” she said. “As long as you keep in contact with the office they’ll answer all your questions.”

Akal is not alone. About 75% of SU students received some form of aid during the 2017-18 school year.

This is not something students should be embarrassed about. Their current fiscal standing should not prevent them from speaking up and getting the help they deserve to advance their education and experience other cultures.

“Syracuse Abroad is committed to making global education a reality for all students interested in pursuing academic opportunities abroad,” Ashley Alessandrini, communications manager for Syracuse Abroad, said in an email.

“Students can expect that financial aid packages travel with them abroad.”

Everyone who wants to should be able to study abroad. For many students across the country, personal finances stand in the way of participating, often because schools don’t provide the resources and advice needed to manage expensive semesters abroad. Fortunately, Syracuse University actively works to give all students the possibility to experience the world and step outside of their comfort zones.

Other schools should follow their lead. And students should know that there are options if they want to go abroad.

Lyrical escape SU senior has found his passion creating music

uring his daily commute from Queens to Manhattan to go to high school, Gianni Villegas would always wear his headphones to block out the city’s noise.

This habit hasn’t changed.

While he maneuvers around Syracuse University’s campus, he wears his AirPods everywhere, but now he is listening to himself.

The aspiring rapper has a passion for music that goes deeper than beats and rhymes. He is the most confident he’s ever been now — all thanks to the music he’s created and a leap of faith he took his sophomore year.

As an SU senior, Villegas is studying information management and technology, but he knows that creating music is his calling. His short stint with beat-making in high school helped him come to the realization that the music industry is where he wants to be.

“I knew once I tried (making beats), I wanted to do something with music,” he said. “I was just scared.”

But Villegas’s freshman and sophomore years of college got the best of him. His major didn’t align with his career goals, and he became wrapped up in trying to find where he fit in socially.

“I hated IT, and I was also falling into the social trap of college,” he said. “Everything that I was doing was not providing growth to myself, but I would always write. Writing is therapeutic to me. I would write to just release emotions or reflect.”

Villegas bonded over music with his freshman year roommate, SU senior Matt Madrigal. Both fans of Steve Lacy, Villegas wrote a verse over one of Lacy’s instrumentals because of his interest in combining rap with the indie and funk elements that Lacy uses.

At this time — the fall of his sophomore year — Villegas was taking a film class that required three film projects. Madrigal, who is a film major, offered to shoot him rapping the verse in a music video. This allowed Villegas to turn it in for class, and it also pushed him to begin sharing his music.

“I was like ‘this is going to give me incentive to share my music,’” Villegas said. “It was a class project, but I was still scared to share it on my own. I needed to make it real.”

Villegas credited his fear of self-exposure and audience reception as the reasons that he was so hesitant to release his music. It wasn’t until the end of his sophomore year that he decided to conquer this fear. He shared the song on his SoundCloud and began creating and releasing music consistently.

“Everything was based on what people thought. Their perspective, their opinion, their perception of myself. That see rapper page 8

Empire Brewery files for bankruptcy after 3 years in Cazenovia

By Diana Riojas feature editor

Empire Farm Brewery Co. in Cazenovia has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy three years after opening a 40,000-square-foot location in Cazenovia. Part of the filing also means the company will remain open but plans to sell its assets and property as part of its reorganization.

Founder and owner David Katleski established the first brewery in 1994 in downtown Syracuse. When

the company filed for bankruptcy on Aug.20, its Community Bank checking account had about $8,000, according to bankruptcy documents.

Empire first sought representation for its financial difficulties about 18 months prior when its primary lender, Community Bank, wanted the brewery’s debt to be replaced or retired.

Financial difficulties began in 2016, when the farm suffered a wild yeast infection that caused the beer’s second beer fermentation to sour, according to Katleski affidavit

in the chapter 11. This resulted in added construction delays, increased secured debt — dilemmas that plagued the company furthermore.

Since the beginning of 2019 to the date of filing, Empire made a gross revenue of $1.2 million dollars, prior to deductions and exclusions. In 2018 and 2017, the company generated $3.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively. However, the company’s liabilities amount to more than $10.9 million.

The brewery company owes

assets to more than 20 creditors.

Some creditors, including Community Bank, CNY Enterprise Development Corp and Greater Syracuse Business Development Corp, also have an interest in the property.

Since 2015, the brewery has incurred debt from CNY Enterprise Development. The development firm alone has a claim of about $54,320.

Larger claims came from unpaid state and federal taxes. Madison County, where Cazenovia is located, claims $100,421, and the Alcohol and Tobac-

co Tax and Trade Bureau is seeking about $19,700 in unsecured claims.

Kyle Sehirtz, one of the managers at the Empire Brewery Co. in downtown Syracuse, said the recent bankruptcy filing will have no effect at that location as the two are separate businesses. So far, he said the kinds of beers sold at the restaurant will remain the same despite receiving a portion of their inventory from Cazenovia. ddriojas@syr.edu @TheDianaRiojas

Arizona professor hosts speech on US-Mexico border

By Izzy Bartling

asst. digital editor

On Tuesday, a group of students and community members gathered at Sims Hall for a dialogue about the U.S.-Mexico border.

Michelle Téllez, an assistant professor at The University of Arizona, led the discussion.

The women’s and gender studies department and the Syracuse University Humanities Center co-hosted the event.

As an assistant professor in the Mexican American studies department at UA, Téllez’s scholarly work focuses on crossborder labor organizing, gender migration and autonomy, as well as resistance along the U.S.-Mexico border.

However, Téllez wasn’t there to discuss the current rhetoric surrounding the border: one revolving around violence, trespassing and illegality. Instead, she was there to talk about the border as a place people call home.

“Because I grew up along the U.S.-Mexico from page 7

rapper was the whole fear of everything,” he said.

“I shared it when I came back home and was like, ‘I’m just going to keep doing (this).’”

This past June, Villegas performed live for the first time at S.O.B.’s in NYC. The Manhattan music venue has been a platform for numerous up-and-coming artists over the years. Artists like Drake, Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar all graced S.O.B.’s stage early in their careers. Now Villegas’s name is on that list.

When he got on stage, the first thing he said to the audience was, “Yo, I’m really nervous.”

Villegas said that he did that because he felt it was important to share his vulnerability with the crowd to boost himself up.

While Villegas drew a crowd of around 60 people, he said he is most proud of being able to

border, I have a different vision of the border, and it’s this vision that people live and work along the U.S.-Mexico border,” Téllez said.

Growing up in San Diego, adjacent to Tijuana, Mexico, Téllez’s experiences with racial and cultural exclusions greatly shaped her identity as a scholar and activist, she said. It also shaped her perspective of the world and her dreams for the future. Most of her work has to do with sharing the untold narratives of border dwellers.

Téllez began her lecture discussing the brutal working conditions in maquiladoras, or factories, that are used by transnational companies seeking cheap labor provided by border dwellers, especially women.

Workers make as little as $50 per week, have to work overtime, and face sexual and racial harassment, Téllez said. Some processes, including imposing pregnancy tests on women to ensure their suitability for working, have stripped women of their humanity, she said.

As a result, communities in the borderlands have reached out to each other for help,

looking for ways to rise and fight against these injustices. Community activists have begun using art, including murals, to spread their stories along with messages of resistance.

Téllez projected the work of Mexican artist Ana Teresa Fernández, who paints murals on parts of the U.S.-Mexico border fence. One of the murals is painted the color of the sky to give the illusion that the physical border is not actually there. Téllez also showed audience members a video of the artist explaining that despite the wall, we all live under the same sky.

One of the community-focused art projects Téllez worked on in Arizona was called “Entre NosOtr@s,” which focused on creating “community-embedded events in collaboration with Chicana/Latinx/indigenous women and gender-nonconforming artists.” The group gathers artists from all over the country to help the community by leading dialogues about gender, sexuality and culture across borders.

Chandra Talpade Mohanty, long-time

friend of Téllez and professor of women’s and gender studies, said Téllez’s first-hand work with the borderland communities provides an important perspective.

“The importance of having these kinds of conversations at Syracuse University…is to highlight that there are stories about the border that are not the same as the ones that the media perpetuates,” she said.

The U.S.-Mexico border is a very violent, militarized space, Mohanty said, but the stories of resistance among communities and how they’re creating spaces of liberation through art tells a different side of the story.

Joshua Ratel-Khan, a graduate student studying communication and rhetorical studies, agreed in the importance of the conversation.

“Since this is a border issue that Syracuse University doesn’t necessarily come into contact with on a daily basis,” he said, “I think bringing these realities of other people’s lives to the forefront is really important.”

share the moment with his family and friends.

Villegas said he didn’t expect to see so many of his friends and family at the venue, especially those that wouldn’t normally be in the same space together. But he said it calmed his nerves.

“These people are not supposed to be in the same room but were there because they were sharing love with me. It felt like I did (that). I brought people together,” Villegas said. “That was empowering to me. Love is really empowering.”

SU senior and Villegas’s girlfriend, Valerie Torres, said she admires his work ethic and that he has a very warm personality.

“He’s my best friend and a star,” Torres said. “Every space he walks into, he brightens.

He’s always looking out for everyone. He’s my favorite person.”

Growing up, Villegas said he always heard his dad and grandfather playing Colombian

salsa. But, he said that he recently started appreciating music from his background.

Through his journey of personal growth and self-discovery, Villegas said he has learned the importance of being vulnerable and believing in himself. He said that he is the most confident he has ever been, and he believes his genuineness is what makes him stand out.

“This music stuff helped me be less afraid as I go,” he said. “It’s about just being who you are in whatever moment you’re at in your life. There’s no such thing as being too much of yourself.”

Beruk Teshome, SU senior and close friend, said Villegas is one of a kind. Teshome and Villegas met their freshman year at SU and clicked over their similar interests — including music.

Teshome said that he’s never met anyone that is as “genuine and positive” as him.

“He provides a sense of confidence and

security to himself and others that whenever you’re with him, you seem like everything is going to be ok,” Teshome said. “And I think that’s what he tries to convey in his music. I’m proud of what he’s done.”

Villegas is currently working on a new project and hopes to drop a single by December. He hopes to create a music video to accompany each song.

Music has always been Villegas’s getaway.

It distracts him from the outside world, allows him to create his own happiness and be the “ruler of everything,” he said. Because of this, he is finding himself on his own terms.

“When I listen to music, it’s all about me,” he said. “I feel like every human has to be selfish in order to understand who they are, and that’s one thing music allows me to do. That’s why I grow. That’s why I love myself. Because I make it about me.” cmlee100@syr.edu

arinthra Tong-Ngork grew up eating Thai food, thanks to her parents. Last week, she shared a dish close to her roots for a chance to win a spot in the Salt City Market food hall.

Tong-Ngork was part of the market’s “Takeout Fridays” event where local food entrepreneurs ran a one-time pop-up operation, giving them a trial run for what running a restaurant is like.

Chef candidates are assigned a location and a budget for ingredients, said Adam Sudmann, who manages the program. This gives Sudmann an opportunity to see how they handle the stress of the restaurant business, he said.

The fall cohort will wrap up its final event on Oct. 19. Finalists will be chosen in January after the spring cohort, and Salt City Market will open in fall 2020. The market will feature a 10-stall food hall where customers can try dishes from around the world.

Sudmann is also the creator of My Lucky Tummy, another food pop-up in Syracuse, and the owner of With Love, Restaurant where aspiring chefs are trained and given three-month rotations running the restaurant.

By using the takeout model, Sudmann said he hopes chef candidates gain a realistic idea of the

Local entrepreneurs compete for opportunity to run a food stand restaurant business that people may not receive at his other operations, where it’s not as high-stakes.

Takeout participants will encounter the “pains and pleasures” of the industry, he said.

To obtain a spot in Salt City Market, chefs go through a 10-step process, according to its website. This includes an interview, a tasting of the applicant’s food and a four-part, eighthour training that covers food prep safety, recipe development and the basics of the restaurant and catering business.

Tong-Ngork said the training is increasingly valuable, as it was this aspect of the industry that kept her from branching out more. “It was just worrying about not knowing enough about running a business,” she said.

Sudmann said job interviews alone don’t always correlate to job performance. Through this hiring process, he said he’s able to learn about candidates’ time management and stamina. Also, the candi-

date can see if they actually want the role.

Friday’s menu featured chicken and vegan curry, as well as hand-rolled dumplings and coconut water. Tong-Ngork grew up eating food from her Thai culture and said she wanted to share a dish that was close to her roots but not common in Syracuse.

As a chef for 23 years, Tong-Ngork said she got a few emails about Salt City Market right around the time she left her job at Bellevue Country Club and figured she’d get involved.

“I’ve always had a lot of respect for what Adam’s done,” Tong-Ngork said. “So I knew this project was something special.”

The spring cohort will start their takeout nights in November, before the final selection process in January. Sudmann said they’ve been drawing crowds of 100-150 people, adding that the success is partly due to a crowd of regulars.

With a background in event management from Brooklyn, Sudmann said he was drawn to the city because of its diverse population. He hoped it would bring great talent to his idea of a multinational food court.

Tong-Ngork said beyond the business opportunity, the market provides a sense of community.

“I really relish the opportunity, Tong-Ngork said, “if I’m selected, to really grow together and build this community together.” emkelleh@syr.edu

Laura Graziosi balances engineering and field hockey

By Adam Hillman asst. copy editor

As Syracuse traveled south toward Philadelphia for a 2019 spring tournament, rain water leaked through the roof and into the team bus, dripping onto the players and coaches.

The bus came to a halt and Laura Graziosi searched for anything to seal the hole. The sophomore found a trash bag and athletic tape.

She draped the bag around the hole and slapped tape around the edges of the bag — stopping the leak for the rest of the four-hour bus ride.

“Everyone was joking, ‘Oh the engineer,’” Graziosi’s roommate Sasha Bull said. “We always say if anything breaks, she can fix it.”

Graziosi, a mechanical engineering major, has built a reputation on No. 14 Syracuse (7-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast) for being handy and technical. As a midfielder and penalty stopper for the Orange, she’s tallied four assists, tied for fifth in the ACC. In order to maintain success on and from page 12

roundtable Those two wins did come against Western Michigan and Holy Cross, so how much we can read into that remains to be seen. After getting roundhoused by Maryland — which has scored 17 points since its 63-20 win — SU hung with No. 1 Clemson until the end of the third quarter. The rest of the ACC lays the groundwork for a manageable back half of the schedule, one the Orange should leave with at least four or five more wins. Anything on top of that is just exceeding expectations at this point.

Josh Schafer: So if we’re going strictly by the numbers, my expectations have tapered down slightly. I originally picked Syracuse at 9-3, which still feels attainable, but perhaps 8-4 might be more fitting. The Orange’s offense has looked good in spurts but we haven’t seen consistency which is a point of concern headed into ACC road games, particularly the Orange’s next matchup — a Thursday night game at North Carolina State. Syracuse has returned some of the key elements form a year ago in consistent turnovers and top level special teams. But this year the offense is ranked 84th in the country in total yards per game and 77th in scoring. Those numbers were lowered by shaky offensive performances against Clemson and Maryland. While the Tigers are a potential College Football Playoff team, the Maryland loss felt reminiscent of SU’s struggles away from the Carrier Dome in the first two years under Dino Babers.

2. Outside of Tommy DeVito, who is Syracuse’s most important player for the rest of the season?

E.B.: Moe Neal. Last season, Syracuse ran

for 2,715 yards and 40 touchdowns, the latter being a top-10 mark in the country. The Orange are on pace for over 1,000 fewer yards and less than half as many touchdowns this year. That’s just not going to cut it in ACC play. Granted, last year Eric Dungey contributed on the ground and Neal isn’t the lone player responsible for

off the field, Graziosi utilizes a strict regimen to stay on top of her school work, which often requires over three hours of studying per day.

“The most important part is planning,” Graziosi said.

A native of The Hague, Netherlands, she graduated from Haags Montessori Lyceum on a rigorous six-year path designated for students who wish to study science at a research university. In high school, she completed her STEM homework before social sciences — she’s always done the homework she liked before the assignments she didn’t.

Graziosi said she’s aware that her major is far more strenuous than other studentathletes. Still, she elected not to pick an easier major to take courses she enjoyed.

“I did mechanical because it’s more general than the others. The other engineers are already on like a track,” Graziosi said.

When Graziosi first arrived in America, Bull said she had trouble balancing school and

playing for SU field hockey. The daily practices and demand of playing for an ACC contender combined with a laborious major made it difficult to find time to relax.

Last spring, the Orange took “accountability classes,” Bull said, and spent time together in study groups, regardless of major. There, with her teammates, Graziosi learned the value of planning.

Every Sunday this semester, Graziosi plots out her week in her orange planner printed with “Syracuse” on the front. She writes down when she has practice, what assignments, quizzes or exams are due that week and when she needs time to relax. If there’s an away game, she plans around that, often doing homework on the bus.

When Graziosi gets home from afternoon practices, she goes more in depth with her plans. She’ll outline each hour of the night: When she’s going to eat, study and de-stress.

“Discipline, planning, practice and review-

ing … that was a learning curve for her,” head coach Ange Bradley said. “It’s time management and it’s knowing what your priorities are.”

She often wakes up at 8 a.m. — hours before her classes start — and rides the bus to the Stevenson Educational Center for StudentAthlete Development, an area in Manley Field House with computer labs, tutor and conference rooms for student-athletes.

While others may opt to stay home or switch majors, Graziosi is content making these sacrifices. For her, it’s worth it to be able to play field hockey while also preparing for life after her field hockey career is over.

Graziosi applies her problem-solving to Syracuse’s penalty corners on the field. As a stopper, Graziosi is tasked with handling the insert pass and deciphering the defense, deciding whether to distribute a pass or shoot directly.

Said Graziosi: “[Engineering] is sort of like solving a puzzle.”

success in the running game, but after DeVito, the senior tailback is the player Syracuse wants and needs to get going the most. So far this season, he’s struggled to do so. Neal has been held under 50 yards rushing in three out of five games and his 4.4 yards per carry average is the lowest of his career by almost a yard.

A.G.: Andre Cisco. He’s been out the last two weeks with a lower-body injury, conveniently against two of the Orange’s lesser opponents. Antwan Cordy and Eric Coley filled in well in Cisco’s absence, but the preseason All-American needs to be playing on the back end for Syracuse’s defense to be as good as it can be. Cisco didn’t lead the nation in interceptions as a freshman through blind luck. Watch his ball hawking pick against Liberty and you’ll see the instincts he can flash in a second. Couple that with a growing comfort tackling in the open field and the inevitable physical growth from a year-plus of Division I lifting, Cisco is shaping up to be a special player in the history of SU football. They just need him back on the field.

J.S.: To stick with the theme that offense is the biggest question moving forward for the Orange, Trishton Jackson is the most important player to watch for the rest of the season.

In every year under Babers, a receiver has carried the passing game and served as a safety net for the offense. He’s caught touchdowns in three of the last four games. In the one game of the last four Jackson struggled, he caught two passes for 16 yards against Clemson. Most of the offense struggled that day, but Jackson’s ability to get open can expand drives for the Orange. The combination of Sean Riley and Taj Harris will also be crucial for Syracuse’s passing game. If they can combine for more than 1,000 yards and Jackson does himself, Syracuse’s offense will likely be moving the ball at a better pace than it has at points thus far.

wasn’t obvious, I’m most disappointed in SU’s lack of success running the ball so far this season. We all knew there’d be an adjustment after losing Dungey and starting running back Dontae Strickland, but Syracuse’s struggles on the ground so far have still been surprising.

With DeVito transitioning into the starting role at quarterback, the Orange were supposed to be able to lean on their running game more. Aside from a breakout game against Western Michigan, they haven’t been able to do that. SU’s team rushing stats all rank in the bottom half of the ACC, just a year removed from being one of the most productive running teams in the country.

A.G.: Kendall Coleman and Alton Robinson’s low sack total. The pair combined for 20 sacks last season (10 each) and seemed poised to take a step forward as one of the nation’s premier pass-rushing duos this season. Instead, through five games, the pair’s combined for just 4.5 sacks. Robinson is still finding ways to be effective by batting passes and registering six quarterback hits while Coleman is one of SU’s leading tacklers. Now, a lot of their struggles are due to SU’s different look up front without Chris Slayton. But for Syracuse’s defense to operate at its peak, it needs to be hitting the quarterback more than it has been. Whether that comes from the middle of the defensive line, blitzing or the defensive ends finally producing like they did last season, I’m surprised it hasn’t been the latter so far.

J.S.: It’s hard to expect too much out of the three new starters on the offensive line but the group needs to improve. The Orange have allowed 3.6 sacks per game thus far, which ranks 122nd nationally. Many of the issues appear to be more about blocking the right blitzers and executing scheme than getting flat out beat, which bodes for SU moving forward.

After the bye week, we should know more about Sam Heckel’s injury, and if he’s coming back that will also boost the group. The bottom line for the offensive line’s struggles is simple: If Syracuse’s offense is to improve, the quarterback needs more time to execute.

targeting focused on protecting defenseless players.

Tuazama’s hit on Holy Cross quarterback Emmett Clifford breached both rules, McAulay said.

“He goes high,” McAulay said. “I see somewhat of a launch and he clearly leads with the head into the opponent.”

Clifford is also classified as defenseless in this position. For a quarterback to be defenseless, they don’t need to be in a throwing motion or even about to start a throwing motion. A quarterback is deemed a defenseless player when in a passing posture, meaning he’s back to pass searching for receivers and hasn’t established himself as a runner.

Tuazama also checks the boxes for “forcible contact” and initiating that contact with his helmet, McAulay said. There is no clear definition of forcible contact in the rulebook.

McAulay describes it as not a glancing hit but one that increases the risk for injury.

In Richards’ hit, McAulay saw a clear crowning of the defensive linemen’s helmet

into the Holy Cross quarterback’s shoulder.

Since the rule is in place to protect the player dipping their helmet, it doesn’t matter that Richards’ initial contact may not have been with the quarterback’s head.

“He puts his head down and he clearly makes forcible contact to a player, to an opponent and that is absolutely, unequivocally a targeting foul,” McAulay said.

Saturday’s plays also stick out because of how clear the players’ paths were to the ball.

Had the players been blocked into the hit or the ball carrier moved into a dangerous position, there could have been mitigating factors. But in both instances, the Syracuse defensive linemen ran free at the quarterback with the potential to not strike high or with their heads.

“Throwing someone out is the ultimate penalty,” McAulay said. “And [officials] really are thoughtful and make sure there is indisputable video evidence that that’s exactly what happened … they’re going to confirm it and eject only if the video shows it and it certainly did in these cases.”

freshman absent as Steigelfest became an upperclassmen. The following season, Steigelfest started occasionally but not consistently enough to wear the captain’s armband.

While Steigelfest denies being disappointed when she wasn’t named a captain as a senior, David sensed she truly felt otherwise. He reinforced to his daughter that high school soccer wasn’t the “end-all, be-all.” She was a strong student and an accomplished violinist, but her first passion was soccer, and she had already committed to playing at SU. No designated captain on the Vikings took a real leadership role her senior year, Steigelfest said, so she decided to take initiative. She brought a whole new demeanor to the pitch, being much more vocal and energized like that January match against Palos Verdes.

While David refuses to take credit, Steigelfest insists she’s just following her father’s example, who’s “been the boss throughout his whole life,” she said.

best team left on Syracuse’s schedule, but the Eagles are one of the best remaining in terms of running the ball. And while the Orange have struggled to run the ball themselves this year, they’ve had even more issues trying to stop their opponents from doing so. SU has allowed the most rushing touchdowns in the ACC and the fourth-most yards while BC boasts the conference’s leading rusher, AJ Dillon. Dillon gashed the Orange on the ground two years ago in a blowout win for the Eagles but was hampered by an ankle injury in SU’s win last season. The junior has run for 150 yards or more in three consecutive games and is exactly the kind of player that can wreak havoc on the Syracuse defense.

A.G.: Wake Forest is doing one of my favorite little gimmicks in college football right now. When the Demon Deacons call run-pass options, they have their running back slow his feet down, making the play fake take longer. By then, there will be enough tape on the play by the time SU plays Wake Forest at the end of November, but Dave Clawson has something working in Winston-Salem. Don’t forget, SU had to ground-and-pound its way to a win last season and the Demon Deacons are only healthier and better since then.

J.S.: Don’t look now but the Demon Deacons are ranked No. 22 in the AP Poll. Wake Forest will come to the Carrier Dome on Nov. 30 for the Orange’s final regular season game.

The Demon Deacons are 5-0 with wins over North Carolina and Boston College. Quarterback Jamie Newman is fourth in the country in passing yards and has already thrown 14 passing touchdowns. If Newman’s still slinging come November, it’ll be an intriguing matchup for the SU defense which flaunts a solid secondary and pass rush.

Super League Gaming, graduated from SU in 1989. One time, David took a picture of his daughter wearing a No. 44 jersey when she was four years old. She decided to follow him when she committed at the end of her junior year, in May 2018.

From the first day of preseason at Syracuse, Steigelfest’s character made an impression on her teammates and coaches. Georgia Allen, whom head coach Nicky Adams has called the team’s “ultimate professional,” was particularly struck by the freshman’s awareness.

“She’s very good at one-to-one, checking in with you,” Allen said.

“Alex California,” as Allen refers to her, also struck a chord with the senior midfielder for her attention to detail. Steigelfest values tidiness of the locker room and accountability, regardless of a player’s role on the team.

Adams was hesitant to speculate about Steigelfest’s future, but Steigelfest may one day get the armband she’s never had.

“She has a lot of growth to do as a soccer player,” Adams said, “but as a person she’s got it handled 100%.” tnolan@syr.edu

Referee explains targeting penalties

By Josh Schafer

Syracuse football enters its bye week with questions. Our beat writers have answers.

yracuse has reached the first of its two byes this week. Through five games, the Orange have gone 3-2, with wins against Western Michigan, Liberty and Holy Cross and a pair of losses to Maryland and No. 1 Clemson.

SU has juggled a shaky offensive line, the first couple games of Tommy DeVito at the helm and a plethora of injuries throughout its secondary.

Almost midway through its season, our beat writers discuss pressing questions about Syracuse football.

1. How have your expectations changed since the start of the season?

Eric Black: Mine haven’t changed too much, despite the fact that Syracuse might not be as good as we all thought it would be.

While many people believed SU would take

another step forward after its 10-win season last year, I wasn’t as convinced. I expected the Orange to have success similar to that of last season, if not slightly worse, and that’s what looks destined to happen this year. Just like I wrote prior to the season, though, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It takes time to become a perennial 10-win team and an Atlantic Coast Conference contender. I expect Syracuse will play better in its final seven games than it did in its first five, and if it can finish the season going 6-1 or 5-2, that’d be a win in my book.

Andrew Graham: Actually, not that much? It feels kind of weird to say, and I do admit I must temper my pick of a 10-2 record, but something along the lines of 8-4, 9-3 is still on the table. Its last two games, Syracuse looked like it did last year, and that’s a good thing.

Freshman Alex Steigelfest emerging as SU leader staff writer

When Santa Monica (California) High School trailed 2-0 after allowing its second first-half goal, then-senior forward Alex Steigelfest watched as her teammates’ heads dropped.

At halftime, she waited for head coach Jimmy Chapman to leave the huddle before stepping up herself.

She wasn’t a captain, she wasn’t the team’s best player, but for one of the final times of her high school career,

Steigelfest gave her go-to pep talk.

“Regroup, gather your thoughts, focus on the game and nothing else,” Steigelfest remembers saying. “We are here for one purpose and one reason only, and that’s to win and give it your all.”

Instead of its second defeat to Palos Verdes in several days, Santa Monica scored three second-half goals to capture its first South Torrance Holiday Tournament in school history. Steigelfest recorded an assist in the final and was named to the All-Tournament team.

Twice during Syracuse’s game against Holy Cross, Orange defensive linemen charged into Crusaders’ quarterbacks, struck their upper bodies and planted them into the ground. Both plays resulted in ejections — the most serious penalty for unnecessary roughness — due to the NCAA’s targeting rule.

Boos poured onto the field as defensive linemen Tyrell Richards and Drew Tuazama were dismissed from the game. Postgame, both coaches didn’t reaffirm their confidence in the calls postgame.

“I’ve seen hits like that on Thanksgiving Day in the backyard on brothers versus brothers,” Syracuse head coach Dino Babers said after the 41-3 SU win, “and nobody had to go tell mom and dad that they got hit that hard.”

Now a freshman forward for Syracuse (2-6-2, 0-2-1 Atlantic Coast), Steigelfest has appeared in six matches, including a start and a career-high 73 minutes played against Fordham on Sept. 15. While she’s yet to make an impact on the stat sheet, she’s made an impression on her coaches and teammates as a leader – despite never being named a captain in her soccer career.

“I would say it’s something that developed over time,” her father, David Steigelfest, said. “She’s always been very dedicated in soccer.”

Steigelfest began playing soccer as a 5-year-old in Santa Monica. She displayed an unrivaled work ethic from the start, David said. However, she was also more reserved, unlike the typical captain in youth sports.

Her freshman year of high school, Steigelfest solely played junior varsity. By sophomore year, she earned varsity minutes but didn’t start. The Vikings won their conference, the Oceanic League, behind tremendous leadership from their seniors, Steigelfest said. Leadsee freshman page 10

nbc football rules analyst

The rules SU’s defenders broke are known as “9-1-3” and “9-1-4” in the NCAA rulebook. 9-1-3 prohibits targeting or making forcible contact with the crown of the helmet, while 9-1-4 prohibits targeting or forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless player.

Whether the hits should be legal is a separate debate. These are the rules, and former Big East (now known as the American Athletic Conference) coordinator of football officiating, Terry McAulay said they were applied properly on Saturday.

“Had those plays not been called targeting by either on-field [officials] or replay they would’ve really been remiss in their duties,” said McAulay, who now serves as a football rules analyst for NBC Sports.

McAulay added that Syracuse’s hits met the “exact criteria” of targeting.

Referees have a four-part checklist for targeting penalties.

The first check is a clear attempt at attacking the opponent, not playing the ball. The second includes launching one’s body at another player or leading with the helmet, shoulder or forearm.

Then the targeting call splits into 9-1-3 and 9-1-4, depending on if the player ducks the crown of their helmet. Rule 9-1-3 — which could penalize any player who uses the crown of their helmet regardless of where it hits the opponent — is meant to protect the player leading with his head from injury, McAulay said. 9-1-4 is see targeting page 10
