ressed in regalia from another ceremony he had earlier in the day, Hugh Burnam stumbled through the door of the SkyBarn on South Campus, where the welcome reception for the Haudenosaunee Promise Scholars was being held. He was immediately met by the smiling face of Bea González. “She comes up to me and says, ‘Hugh, I think you’re going to like some
of the stuff that the chancellor’s going to say right now,’” said Burnam, a Ph.D. student in the School of Education and an academic consultant for the Native Student Program. At this year’s reception, held on Aug. 20, Chancellor Kent Syverud shared with the indigenous student community that the Haudenosaunee flags would be flown on Manley Field House, the Quad and at the Carrier Dome, alongside the United States and Syracuse University flags. It was also the first time Burnam and other indigenous students found out that the university would now be recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day on Oct. 10. The official announcement, sent to the entire SU community on Friday,

Syracuse University trustees give $1 million to promenade By Satoshi Sugiyama asst. news editor
Syracuse University Trustees have given a $1 million donation to the University Place promenade that will be named as “The Einhorn Family Walk,” the university
announced Friday. Steve and Sherry Einhorn, class of 1964 and 1965 respectively, have been the first to be named after in projects under SU’s Campus Framework, according to an SU news release. Steve has been chair of the Campus Framework Advisory Group for
more than two years and served as on the Board of Trustees for almost four years, per the release. “We are thrilled to be giving back to our alma mater as it has given us and our son so much,” Einhorn said in the release. “This is an exciting time to be a part
of the Syracuse University community and I am proud to have the opportunity to be involved in the effort to transform the University’s physical environment.” Details of a celebratory event were not been specified in the release. Other naming opportunities for
first-phase Campus Framework projects include the National Veterans Resource Complex and the West Campus Projects, involving renovations of Archbold Gymnasium to create the Arch, according to the release. ssugiyam@syr.edu

Otto Tunes president reflects on music career By Giana Asterito

One of the best moments of TJ Wells’s life was running out of Hendricks Chapel with the rest of his a cappella group, right after their International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella performance, knowing they had just dominated for twelve minutes. “We were all hugging, laughing, some of us crying, and it was just this amazing feeling we could all feel, just an incredible moment,” he said. The senior advertising major said once he graduated high school, he thought he would never sing again. Fast forward four years, and he’s now the president of Otto Tunes for a second year. Wells reflected on his freshman year, saying that the onlyway he would sing at college was if the musical “Rent” was performed. The First Year Players show that year was just that. From there, The Remembrance Scholar decided to join an a cappella group because he wanted brotherhood. He explained that Otto Tunes has given him a lot over the past four years. “It’s instilled this confidence that you can’t get from just taking a public speaking class, it’s created genuine friendships and it’s created this

atmosphere where I feel comfortable with all of these guys and having so much fun,” he said. Otto Tunes has toured in many different states, and even opened for the Rockettes in New York City. Wells said being in an a cappella group is about the little things, but a few years ago they decided to do something bigger.
Otto Tunes decided they wanted to help the Testicular Cancer Foundation after they learned that testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 18 to 34. And thus, Cockapella came to campus. Cockapella is a concert put on by some of the a cappella groups on campus in Hendricks Chapel. In the past four years the shows
have raised thousands of dollars, and Wells said Otto Tunes is excited to perform Oct. 15. “Almost all of my college decisions so far have revolved around Otto Tunes, and the least I can do is give back, lead and create this atmosphere where other people feel the same thing,” Wells said. gnasteri@syr.edu

Student reports robbery By Stacy Fernandez asst. news editor
Gunshots near campus Gunshots were fired late Sunday night near Walnut Park, police confirmed. Witnesses reported hearing a series of gunshots at around 10:40 p.m., as at least one person was taken away in an ambulance. The university did not sent out an Orange Alert about the situation, prompting some anger from the SU community about a lack of communication as the situation played out. The last time an Orange Alert was sent out was Oct. 14, 2015. See dailyorange.com for information on the developing story. jessica sheldon photo editor

Former Marine chosen as NVRC contractor By Sam Ogozalek staff writer
One of the first contractors hired for the construction of Syracuse University’s planned National Ve t e r a n s R e s o u r c e Complex is a former United States Marine. Daniel MacDonald, who MACDONALD served in the corps from 1986-92, is the owner and founder of MacDonald Land
Surveying & Engineering DPC, a company based in Webster, New York and created in 2013. Webster is located about 84 miles northwest of Syracuse. MacDonald said he picked up surveying and engineering, worked as a surveyor on a pipeline and eventually pursued a civil engineering degree following his time in the service. Over time, the former Marine set out to start and own his own business while employing veterans. MacDonald Engineering — as the company is commonly
known — is a four-person firm. Excluding himself, MacDonald said he is currently employing two other veterans and, depending on his business’s growth, would like to hire more.
$62.5 million Estimated cost of the National Veterans Resource Complex
Col. Ron Novack, the executive director of SU’s Office of Veteran and Military Affairs, said in an email that MacDonald’s company has been working on-site at the proposed location of the NVRC — near the intersection of Waverly Avenue and South Crouse Avenue — since August. Novack said MacDonald Engineering did the “initial existing site survey for design on the NVRC site.” “It is only fitting that veteran-owned businesses from

A Syracuse University student has reported an off-campus strongarm robbery that happened on Friday night, police said. At about 7:15 p.m., the student entered his off-campus apartment on the 100 block of Remington Avenue and he was approached by three unknown males, according to a public safety notice from the Department of Public Safety. One of the suspects demanded the student give him money. Then another suspect forcibly took the student’s wallet from his pants pocket. The suspect removed the cash from the wallet and returned the wallet to the student, according to the public safety notice. The suspects unsuccessfully attempted to steal the student’s cellphone as well. The student was not injured and there was no threat of a weapon. The suspects left the scene of the crime on foot, but the direction in which they headed is unknown, per the notice. The three suspects are all males between the ages of 16 and 17. sfern100@syr.edu

Clinton, Trump face off in 2nd presidential debate By Stacy Fernandez asst. news editor
Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump rehashed many of the issues from the first presidential debate. The second presidential debate was held in the form of a town hall meeting. Moderators posed half the questions; undecided voters asked the rest. Anderson Cooper, CNN news anchor, and Martha Raddatz, an
ABC reporter, served as the narrators for the night. The debate was held at Washington University in St. Louis on Sunday night. The questions from the moderators covered topics of public interest, as reflected by social media. Each candidate was given two minutes to respond. Raddatz and Cooper had a minute to facilitate discussion. Among the first topics discussed in the debate was the audio footage recently leaked,
in which Trump discussed lewd acts toward women. The Republican candidate said he was not proud of it, but that it was just “locker room talk.” He added that he has great respect for women and is going to make America safe again. Hillary rebutted, saying the audience heard on Friday what Trump really thinks of women and that what they heard is a reflection of who he is. Trump, similar to the first
debate, rehashed Clinton’s emails. He said if he were to become president he would acquire a special prosecutor to look into Clinton’s “situation.” Clinton apologized for the emails and took responsibly for her actions, but clarified there is no evidence that classified materials ended up in the wrong hands. The candidates went on to discuss President Barack Obama’s health care law, a topic on which

“I want very much to save what works and is good about the Affordable Care Act,” Clinton said. While she recognized that there are issues with the ACA, she highlighted the pros, including the fact that 90 percent of people in the U.S. have health care insurance. “Obamacare is a disaster,” Trump said.

will serve as a community and economic hub for veterans in central New York. The complex is estimated to cost the university $62.5 million. The university remains “committed” to hiring veterans who own businesses to do work on campus, Novack said. Novack did not respond to questions regarding how SU is handling the bid process for contracting out work on the NVRC or if MacDonald Engineering was the only company to bid for land surveying and design for the project. The executive director of the OVMA did note, however, that SU has never previ-
ously hired from MacDonald Engineering. MacDonald called his first project at SU one of the most important in his career. “I’ve never been more proud to work on any project so far,” MacDonald said, referring to the NVRC. “I plan on doing the best I can do on this project. I mean, I do for every project, but … this one has a very special meaning to me because there’s an end result that will affect fellow veterans.” MacDonald was one of the lead advocates for the adoption of New York state’s Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Act, which was passed in 2014 by current Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The act helps
businesses certified as a New York state Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business increase their opportunities in contracting work throughout the state. MacDonald Engineering is a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business. “The premise of my business … is to hire veterans. Especially young men and women coming home,” MacDonald said. “My goal is not to become a millionaire. I could care less about that. My goal is to, you know, have a place (veterans) can come and work and grow in the engineering and surveying field.” sfogozal@syr.edu
“You know it, we all know it.” If he were elected, Trump said the act would be repealed and instead he would promote competition among health insurance countries to bring about “the finest health care plan there is.” An audience member introduced the topic of Islamophobia, who asked how each of them would help make it so those who practice Islam are not viewed as a threat. Trump said the solution starts with Muslims reporting what they see to prevent radical Islamic terror. On the topic of his proposed ban on Muslims, Trump said he will not have a ban, but rather extreme vetting, which Clinton also mentioned. “My vision of America is an America where everyone has a place,” Clinton said. She added it is dangerous to engage in the narrative of Trump because it promotes Islamophobia. Clinton also delved into ISIS, saying she intends to defeat them in coalition with majority Muslim nations. While Clinton also supports a vetting system, she said it is important the U.S. not ban people based on religion.
Clinton criticized Russia in relation to Syria. She said Russia hasn’t paid attention to ISIS because they’re interested in keeping Assad in power. Clinton added that the Russians are determined to destroy Aleppo in order to eliminate the last of the Syrian rebels holding out against the Assad regime. Trump said the U.S. has to worry about ISIS first since Clinton already had a chance to do something with Syria, but she didn’t do anything. The selection of a new Supreme Court justice was introduced for the first time in the debates. Hillary said she want to appoint a judge that really knows how the world works and who understands what people are up against. She added she will elect a justice that will stick to Roe v. Wade and the Marriage Equality Act. Trump praised former Justice Antonin Scalia, saying he would elect somebody with similar values to Scalia. On the topic of energy, Trump said the U.S. needs more than wind and solar. Ener-
gy companies, he said, need to be brought back to the U.S. Clinton, on the other hand, said the U.S. needs to maintain the energy independence it currently has. The debate ended on a positive note when an audience member asked the candidates to highlight something they each

respected about each other. Clinton said she respected the way Trump had raised his children because they have grown up to be very devoted adults. In return Trump said, “She doesn’t quit. She doesn’t give up. I respect that. I tell it like it is. She’s a fighter.” sfern100@syr.edu @StacyFernandezB

Indigenous Peoples Day recognition extends allyship Students in the United States grow up hearing that “Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492,” but we seldom hear about the hundreds of thousands who suffered at his hands once he landed here. With its recognition of Indigenous Peoples Day for the first time on Monday, Syracuse University turns its attention to reclaiming lost cultural history and increasing positive indigenous representation. Along with State University of New York’s College of Environmental Science and Forestry, SU will acknowledge the day with events including a celebration on
the University Place promenade, an Onondaga Nation display and an information session on how to be an ally to native and indigenous peoples. This outpouring of highlyvisible appreciation and support for indigenous peoples not only furthers short-term recommendations from the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Diversity and Inclusion, but also strengthens the bond of SU with local indigenous communities. Following peer institution Cornell University, SU proves to be an example to other institutions, though incorporating this holiday into the history and fabric of SU is particularly fitting considering its social and geographical proximity with the Onondaga Nation.
When the generally understood concept of “American history” tends to side with oppressors rather than the oppressed, SU’s simple choice to bring the other side of settler history to the forefront is crucial. This celebration doesn’t just benefit those calling for representation; it also educates a student body that has not, for the most part, experienced the struggles of sovereignty and identity that indigenous communities face. Like many pro-indigenous peoples’ initiatives in the U.S., the move has been a long time coming. This push to rename the second Monday in October may have recently gained momentum, but the proposal first entered the international consciousness at the
United Nations’ Geneva Conference in 1977. On campus, members of the SU community protested on the Quad in favor of the recognition in 2015 and the switch to Indigenous Peoples Day was included in THE General Body’s list of grievances and demands. SU has a history of learning from its mistakes when it comes to Native American misrepresentation — SU moved on from its Native American mascot, the Saltine Warrior, after protests from indigenous students in 1978 — and continues to be progressive. And by continuing to move in this direction, the university can uphold the celebration of indigenous people beyond the history books.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump met in Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri Sunday night for the second presidential debate moderated by ABC’s Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper. Liberal columnist Cole Jermyn and Conservative columnist Alex Deitrich give their takes.
T
rump began the debate sounding as though he had taken a high-grade sedative before coming out on stage, and that wandering demeanor did not change throughout the night. Trump tried to divert attention onto Bill Clinton’s prior indiscretions along with Hillary’s emails. He attacked Obamacare while continuing to present no alternative. He dodged questions about his Muslim immigrant ban, and continued to lie about being against the Iraq War. Trump wandered both verbally and physically, continuing his inability to focus on the question at hand. Clinton clearly understood that rather than directly attacking Trump, the best way to damage him would be to let his bad character speak for itself. One of her first statements was a simple, stinging rebuke to Trump’s biggest scandals yet: Trump was caught on a video obtained by The Washington Post having a vulgar, sexuallyexplicit conversation with Billy Bush in 2005. Republican and Democrats alike seem to recognize what may be a sorry end to the Donald Trump campaign. “What we all saw and heard on Friday was Donald talking about women. What he thinks
COLE JERMYN OUT OF LEFT FIELD
about women. What he does to women,” Clinton said. “He has said that the video doesn’t represent who he is….we saw him after the first debate spend nearly a week denigrating a former Miss Universe in the harshest, most personal terms, so, yes, this is who Donald Trump is.” Following the trend of the first debate, the night could not have gone much better for Clinton. She was poised, intelligent and seemed to follow Michelle Obama’s advice, “When they go low, we go high.” On the other end of the spectrum, Trump’s unhinged demeanor appeared like a wounded animal lashing out in one fleeting attempt to realign his campaign. But most of his punches missed the mark, and he was left without ammunition or recourse. To paraphrase T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Hollow Men,” this is the way his campaign ends, not with a bang but with a whimper. Cole Jermyn is a sophomore environmental resource engineering major.

ntering the second debate, everyone watching wanted to hear about how Trump would defend what he said in the recently published Access Hollywood tapes. At the start of the debate, he was asked to provide a more detailed statement about the tapes, but instead responded in the worst possible way: he claimed that it was simply “locker room talk.” Throughout the election, Trump voters have been repeatedly asked to defend Trump’s character. This is now a virtually impossible task. There is no justification for what he said. Some supporters have said Trump should not be judged for something he said a decade ago, but his performance during the second debate proves that he hasn’t changed a bit. All of the controversy should push conservatives to start weighing other options. It’s clear Trump thinks bragging about committing sexual assault is acceptable as long as it is done in a “locker room” setting. Somehow, this isn’t a shocking assertion, and it goes to show his ignorance as to how he is a part of the problem. What would it say about our country if we elected a leader that is proud of taking advantage of women? The second debate set off an alarm for all conservatives: prior to the debate, several Republicans who endorsed Trump
ALEX DEITRICH THINK SWANSON, VOTE JOHNSON
withdrew their support after hearing the tapes. As dozens of elected Republicans stand against Trump, including local Rep. John Katko (R-NY), it is clear that the Republican party is in a state of chaos. Trump has, for all intents and purposes, lost this election, and practically handed the office to Clinton on a silver platter. This leaves a number of Republican voters confused, as now it’s really not an option to vote for Trump or Clinton. But not voting isn’t an option either. Still, it’s inevitable that Clinton will be the next president. In fact, Fivethirtyeight currently has Clinton’s chances of winning at more than 80 percent. Trumps aggressiveness during the debate — characterized by interrupting Clinton and making inappropriate comments — is a reminder of how he has given a horrible reputation to Republicans. In all, the major takeaway from this debate for conservatives is that Trump is clearly unfit for office, and that Republicans should start weighing other candidates.

indigenous comes a year after Burnam and a group of other indigenous graduate students publicly sent to Bea González, dean of University College and a member of the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Diversity and Inclusion, a proposal detailing why the second Monday of October should be recognized by the university as Indigenous Peoples Day. Columbus Day is all about the U.S. government not being able to admit its own mistakes, and not incorporating the correct moments of history into general education, said Rob Carrier, a senior information management and technology major who is also a member of the Native Student Program at SU. “I don’t really understand why it was Columbus Day in the first place,” Carrier said. “You’re celebrating someone who is responsible for the genocide of millions of people and the United States government still has that in their curriculum for these kids, when they’re most impressionable.” In interviews with The Daily Orange, many indigenous students at SU explained the most common remarks directed at them. You still exist? I thought you were all extinct. “We learn that these people existed 300 years ago, but no one taught that these people still exist today,” Carrier added. The university does not officially recognize Columbus Day. Burnam said despite this lack of recognition, each year he notices some departments still have signs, posters or calendars acknowledging Columbus Day — and therefore still appropriate that culture. “We don’t want Columbus Day — we want Indigenous Peoples Day,” Burnam said. “We want to use it to discuss the atrocities of
dailyorange.com news@dailyorange.com
colonization in a way that is productive and to incorporate inclusivity of indigenous students on campus.” Around this time last year, Burnam and the group of indigenous graduate students sat in a room on 113 Euclid Ave., the Native Student Building, and drafted their proposal. They sent it to González, put it out publicly on social media and contacted local news outlets to spread the word. “It’ll lessen the microaggressions we experience because people will already know that you can’t be saying sh*t like that,” Burnam said. “‘Do you guys still live in teepees?’ Well, our people actually never did. They call us people of the Longhouse for a reason — we build houses.” Jourdan Bennett-Begaye, a graduate student majoring in magazine, newspaper and online journalism, was one of the students who worked with Burnam to draft the proposal to the university. They were invited to speak with González regarding their proposal, but the end of the meeting left them feeling confused and disappointed. “It was like they were acknowledging us but they weren’t supporting us,” BennettBegaye said. “Kind of like, ‘OK, we met with them. We’re being inclusive. Check the box.’” Burnam said González wasn’t clear as to whether or not the day’s acknowledgment would be happening. She listened to everything they said and commended them for their work. But no progress was made, he added. They were simply told to keep doing the work they were doing. “We’re looking at each other like, ‘oh my God, we are graduate students, we don’t have time to do this. We’re so busy, that’s so messed up,’” Burnam said. “We left with a bitter taste in our mouth.”
Students stand in front of the Native Student Program building with Regina Jones, the program’s director. The program will be hosting public events and demonstrations on Monday.
One year later, the university has given them the victory they wanted. Regina Jones, an assistant director with the Office of Multicultural Affairs and director of the Native Student Program, said acknowledging the day as Indigenous Peoples Day is significant for the university to show that it is committed to native issues. “When I look at SU, it is like a Little America. We’re pretty close to 1 percent. Our goal is to be 1 percent, but that’s the same as the whole country,” Jones said. “I look at it like a Little America, and it’s going in the right direction. Baby steps.” Wearing a shirt with the words, “Straight Outta the Rez,” Honni David, a senior illustration major, said movements like the indigenous movement or Black Lives Matter are all interwoven with a common struggle of being oppressed.
“We’ve stopped calling it Columbus Day within our communities because it’s such a scornful name that a man that, upon initially discovering a group of people, decided to exploit them, to rape their women, to murder their men — to do all this heinous sh*t,” David said. For Burnam, engaging students who wanted this acknowledgment of Indigenous Peoples Day is the very reason that university gave them what they wanted. He added that he never thought this acknowledgment was possible, but having a really good core group of students made all the difference. “Now after this change is made, I can see the fruits of our labor,” Burnam said. “It’s been really good to know that the university will listen to you.” rcgilber@syr.edu clramire@syr.edu

SUNY-ESF Counseling Center holds series of events for alcohol awareness week By Caroline Bartholomew staff writer
T
homas LeRoy pointed to a totaled car from a DWI crash on display outside of SUNY-ESF’s Gateway Center. “It could’ve been you, or me, or anyone,” said LeRoy, the police department chief at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. “Thank God it wasn’t, but it could’ve been.” The car on display — which was from a DWI crash two weeks ago in Manlius, New York — was part of a series of alcoholawareness events last week at SUNY-ESF. The events, which included tabling, open discussions and a “mocktail” party, were hosted by Ruth Larson, director of SUNY-ESF’s counseling services. SUNY-
ESF’s Counseling Center opened this fall because the school no longer uses Syracuse University Health Services. “We’ve had at least 30 to 40 people stop by the table each day and actually talk to us and take pamphlets, which they don’t usually do so it’s a good sign,” Larson said. In addition to running an information table, a course was set up where students could ride a bike through a set of traffic cones with “beer goggles” on to show what driving under the influence would be like. “Trying to ride the bike with the goggles just made me realize how hard and dangerous it would be to drive,” said Hannah Pilkey, a senior conservation biology major. “My vision and sense of depth was completely altered,” said Aaron Keegan, a junior environmental studies major who
also tried the bike. “I hit each of the cones and moved them like an inch and a half, which would be a lot if it were a person.” SUNY-ESF had zero liquor law arrests and seven drug law arrests in 2015 but had 48 drug law referrals and 93 liquor law referrals, according to the 2015 Campus Security and Fire Safety Report. “We do have alcohol and drug problems, and we’ve had our fair share of alcohol arrests and referrals,” Larson said. “Even though ESF is a small school, we’re pretty in line with the national average.” Larson, who previously worked at Sheridan College in Wyoming, said she has been working closely with the staff at Centennial Hall, SUNY-ESF’s residential building, and plans to provide programming on topics such as stress management,
suicide prevention and AIDS. LeRoy, the police chief, said he thinks having a Counseling Center just for SUNY-ESF students will make a difference, because a lot of students didn’t always use counseling services when they had to go over to SU, he said. “Now, when they see the counseling staff at events like this, it’s a familiar face which makes people feel more comfortable and actually want to go to the Counseling Center,” LeRoy said. With events from the Counseling Center like this one now specific to SUNYESF students, LeRoy said he hopes those messages will reach more students. “We’re just trying to get ahead of the problem by giving students information and showing them what could happen,” LeRoy said. cbarthol@syr.edu

Paint peeling from the nondescript window frames, the house is sandwiched between a fraternity on one side and a sorority on the other, parts of the house are used for university offices and classrooms. But as the sign on its front lawn indicates, 113 Euclid Ave. is the Native Student Building. This is the space where students eat snacks or nap between classes. The space where they make posters to educate the community about issues regarding indigenous people. This is where students come in to vent about something insensitive overheard in class. “The first thing I asked for was space,” said Regina Jones, an assistant director with the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the director of the Native Student Program. “I knew the students needed their space, which is that lounge. You go in there, and that’s theirs.” It’s been 27 years since Jones started working at SU and 10 years since she helped start the Native Student Program. The program was established the same time as the Haudenosaunee Promise Scholarship, which offers financial assistance to Native American students in the area who are admitted to the university and meet the scholarship’s qualifications. see native students page 12

T
he sheer amount of takeout restaurants in Syracuse can be overwhelming. Although the options seem limitless, it ends up being a lot of the same thing. On GrubHub alone, there are over 10 places that deliver Chinese food, and more than double as many places have pizza. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing: who doesn’t like lo mein or a cheesy slice? But there isn’t much room for variety during your Friday night dinner in front of the TV. In a city so attached to American comfort food and quick-and-easy takeout, it was about time for something different to come to Syracuse. Oompa Loompyas is the first and only Filipino restaurant in the city. Located at the corner of North Crouse Ave and Burnet Ave, this little gray shop has been bursting with tantalizing aromas and flavors since this past May. With varying dishes including the pork adobo bowl, putok putok shrimp and loompyas — it is understandable that some people may be hesitant to branch out from Marshall Street to try Syracuse’s newest cuisine. But do not fear — the food of the Philippines is an exciting fusion of traditional Filipino ingredients mixed with
cuisines such as Spanish, Japanese, Indian and American. The adobo bowl consists of flavorful slow-cooked, tender pork served over jasmine rice, while the putok putok shrimp is simply battered shrimp topped with a spicy sauce. The loompyas — traditionally spelled “lumpias” — are a Filipino take on the eggroll and are Oompa Loompyas’s signature dish. You can get them filled with beef, crab and shrimp, spinach and artichoke, banana or even a New York favorite — Buffalo chicken. They also offer some more familiar options such as a variety of Filipino inspired sliders, burgers and buffalo jalapeno poppers. Owner Azella Alvarez is a first generation Filipino immigrant. She was born in New Jersey to immigrant parents and raised in California where her family opened up a Filipino bakery. She eventually moved out to Central New York to get married, settled in the Syracuse area and started working desk jobs. Alvarez began cooking lumpias at home and would bring them into work for her coworkers. They were such a hit that her coworkers and friends told her that she should sell them. After being laid off, she realized cooking could become a serious business opportunity. This drove Alvarez to start a successful catering company, which she turned into a brick and mortar restaurant this past spring. Initially on the search for a food truck, this location fell into her lap and allowed her to expand her options and services. To get the full experience, I

decided to order a combination platter. At only $8.99, I was astounded at the amount of food I got. I chose chop suey — stir fried vegetables — as my entrée, one of each variety of loompyas and pancit — noodles with a sweet garlicy sauce and a few veggies mixed in. I also got an order of putok putok shrimp for good measure. Everything from Oompa Loompyas tastes like it was made with care, created by someone who has been cooking and eating this food their entire lives. Unlike many take-out restaurants, whose food tastes as though it has been mass produced or been sitting in a hot pot all day, everything from Oompa Loompyas tastes like it was made by the Filipino grandmother you wish you had. The flavors were sweet, savory and complex. Although I got a variety
of different dishes, they all complimented each other so well, and as a fan of tangy, saucy foods I was in heaven. With the admittedly small menu of variations that she serves, Alvarez is trying to offer just enough to break the surface of the market and get people interested in Filipino food. She eventually wants to go deeper into the cuisine and offer more dishes that reflect the traditional food she grew up on. For now though, she is eager to expose the city — especially SU students — to the versatile and delicious world of Filipino food. Open Tuesday through Sunday, Oompa Loompyas is only a short ride from campus and is available on GrubHub. Spice up your week and try something a little different like the Lechon Burger, topped with crispy pork and slaw — you will not be disappointed. anwelch@syr.edu

Fox strikes out with new show ‘Pitch,’ fails to break stereotypes
F
ox’s new addition to its fall rotation, “Pitch,” is an hour-long drama focused on the life and struggles of Ginny Baker. Set in summer, “Pitch’s” story starts on the day of Ginny’s Major League Baseball debut. No woman has ever made it to the Majors in real life, but a few have recently joined professional teams. It seems like only a matter of time until a real-life Ginny makes her way to the top tier of professional baseball. In this basic context, “Pitch” seems like a pretty welltimed forecast. How will the media handle a woman in men’s professional sports? What pressures, societal and athletic, will she face? What misogynistic barriers exist within these sports and how can they be defeated Like many network shows, the idea of the show gets muddled by too many people trying to control the progression of the story. The events in the first three episodes are written so specifically that it is hard to suspend your disbelief.
from page 9
native students “There are stereotypes. ‘You’re just here because you got that scholarship,’ students would hear,” said Jones, who is also a member of the Oneida Turtle Clan. “And I’m like, ‘You’re not here because of a scholarship. You’re here because you got yourself here.’ In starting the program 10 years ago, Jones, known as “Grama” to her students, asked for one more thing other than a space: that the students be able to move in early. What resulted was a weeklong orientation program that allowed indigenous students to move in early, get acquainted with the campus and meet upperclassmen who are part of the indigenous student community. “I knew if our people came here, moving in with all those other thousands of students, that they would probably turn around and go home. I’m serious,” Jones said. “In fact, I’ve had some, even with the orientation program, turn around and go home.” It doesn’t take long for the students to bond over shared values, common experiences and similar senses of humor. They may not have the same cultural practices, but they become each other’s support system at SU. “You don’t really know these people at first, but the week brings you close,” said Rob Carrier, a senior information, management and technology major, and a member of Six Nations Onondaga. “Pretty soon, this person is like your brother or your sister.” Among the 40 residents on the seventh floor of Haven Hall, 11 are Native American and 14 are members of the Indigenous Living Learning Community. The community is similar to any other group of friends on the SU campus: they go to dinner and the mall, and they hold study sessions. Chrystal Yee has been a member of the floor family for more than two years now. She grew up in a conservative town in Maryland — one where the Confederate flag would be flown at games and Native American culture was not a topic of discussion. Now in her junior year, and her third year of living in the community, Yee has no plans to leave. Since learning from her former roommate that Native Americans still exist, Yee has immersed herself in the community. “It is such, such a privilege and I make sure I never forget that. Any time I’m invited to any of the indigenous events, I always tell the people that are hosting it, thank you for letting me be a part of this,” Yee said. “It’s such
However, Fox definitely put effort into making the gameplay feel real. Ginny plays for the San Diego Padres and the on-field scenes were shot at Petco Park, their actual stadium. The uniforms are authentic, the players look like real players and the crowd shots avoid the blatant artificiality that so many shows fall into. They also brought in most of their real on-air sports personalities for cameos. In the pilot episode, Colin Cowherd stirs controversy by saying it is ridiculous to compare Ginny Baker to Jackie Robinson; Katie Nolan destroys sexist arguments about Ginny making the jump from the minors to the majors; and Joe Buck commentates Ginny’s debut start. Fox knew that if they were going to do a sports show, it had to feel authentic and
they succeeded in creating that atmosphere around most of the show. They had a lot of cooperation from the MLB in borrowing trademarks and copyrights of all the teams, and consulted with baseball writers like Molly Knight to correctly portray the nuances of the league and the sport. Despite the hard work to create synergy between the network, the MLB and the production, a lot of the show falls into boring network tropes. Flashbacks of Ginny’s youth interject the modern day timeline. They show her father, a former minor leaguer, as he raises Ginny and her brother. In one of the most overdone and obvious origin stories, he discovers Ginny’s talent when her older brother refuses to play and he turns to ask Ginny to throw the ball back and forth with him in a nice fatherly way. Ginny, about six years old, throws the ball ten feet over her father’s head with ten times the speed that he was expecting from a little girl. Also, when he throws the ball to her,
it looks like he has never moved his arms above his shoulders before. Would it have been that hard to cast somebody who knows how to throw a baseball? In another episode, Ginny has to confront an ex-boyfriend from her years in the minor leagues. Really? The show about an historical achievement for women is three episodes old and they already had to fall back on an ex-boyfriend episode? There is an even more ridiculous aspect of the failings of “Pitch.” Despite the progressive goals of the show, every episode so far has been written and directed by men. It seems a bit hypocritical of Fox to be calling out the problem of exclusion of women in sports by airing a show created by, written by and directed by men. Especially as there are no physical obstacles to overcome when it comes to writing a television show.
a privilege to be accepted into their community. I’m a complete stranger, I’m not even native.” Yee’s freshman year roommate was Gabrielle Hill, a junior child and family studies major and a member of the Seneca nation. She said she loves that Yee has resonated with them as a group and that she is involved in the indigenous student community as much as she can. “I love educating people about our culture and ways,” Hill said. “I was taught by word of mouth and that’s how I’m going to teach others.” It’s this attitude, her motivation to educate people, that drives Hill to turn any negative experience into a learning experience.
age” on his shirt supporting one of the many sports teams that still have mascots that perpetuate negative stereotypes. “It’s embarrassing that it’s still a thing, it’s embarrassing that in such a socially aware world that we’re living in right now that it still exists, that there’s still these stereotypical images of ‘the noble savage,’ or ‘the savage savage,’” David said. David used to work in a museum and was often asked questions lacking thought and tact. People would often inquire about what is smoked in a peace pipe, or assume knowledge based on stereotypes.
culture as motivation for his work as a documentarian. Abrams, a senior sociology major, created a documentary called “Remembering the Removal,” which depicted the forced relocation of the Senecas, his people, in the 1960s, despite a treaty that promised those lands to them. A third of the land, almost 10,000 acres, was flooded by a dam about 30 miles south of their territory. “It was only supposed to be a five-minute thing, but I turned it into a 20-minute thing,” Abrams said. “I just ran away with it.” It wasn’t until a year later that he got a Facebook message from two PBS producers who were looking to create their own documentary about the subject and came across his work. After exchanges with them and verifying they were who they said they were, Abrams is now the associate producer of the documentary “Lake of Betrayal: The Story of Kinzua Dam.” The documentary will be broadcast on PBS in November, for Native American Heritage Month. “If this is the only film project I’m ever involved in, cool. It’s our story. It’s my family’s story. It’s my people’s story,” Abrams said. “We’re getting it out there to a bigger audience and to let people know it happened. It’s not just forgotten.” In Abrams’s perspective, education and visibility are the two key issues for indigenous people. As an indigenous person with a Native American studies minor, Abrams said he’s learned how to better engage with people who are less educated on the issues by first educating himself. “Maybe I’m not as dark as they hope I’d be, or I don’t have braids. I’m not wearing moccasins or feathers or something. Maybe I don’t look like an ‘Indian’ — whatever that means,” Abrams said. “But once people start to learn, they’re willing to do better and behave better. They just need to be informed.” That’s where the indigenous student community comes in. For Jock, the student who confronted members of a fraternity, SU has created a safe place for those — like himself — who have never been away from home. The sense of solidarity and family is so strong he feels like he never left the reservation. “What I love best is that I am the embodiment of our struggle,” Jock said. “The fact that I am here (at SU) — I am a testament to our people’s resiliency to adapt to certain situations.”

“Someone can say, ‘Oh do you live in a teepee?’ or ‘do you wear the headdress with feathers?’ and I’ll brush it off,” Hill said. “If someone were to say anything like that to me, I would turn it around and make them learn something from me.” Maris Jacobs lives in the learning community — she is roommates with Yee this year. During her first year at SU, Jacobs experienced an incident right on the doorstep of her new home. Halloween night, Haven seven. Jacobs was walking down the hallway that plays host to the Indigenous learning community when she saw a group of women preparing for a night out. They were dressed as Pocahontas — or “Pocahotties.” Jacobs wrote a message on the women’s white board, explaining how their costumes were offensive. In reply, she was confronted with a slur. After a long discussion, the women apologized and changed their costumes. “They want the culture, and the costume and the feathers, but they don’t want the issues that come with it, or they just don’t know about the issues that come with it,” Jacobs said. “It’s much more than just a costume.” Incidents like this do not stand alone on campus. Honni David described seeing fellow students walking around with a “sav-
“There’s all these things that people don’t know and won’t hear because textbooks — textbooks lie and history is written by the victors, and the victors in the American narrative really didn’t want to talk about how they murdered an entire civilization of people,” David said. As a senior illustration major, David is trying to rewrite those stereotypes and educate others through his artwork. Reaching into his backpack, David pulls out a black book, thicker than any of his college textbooks. Glued-in pages and scraps of paper line the edges and the spine bulges. Each page reveals a new sketch, vibrant colors and a story. The book is lined with drawings of “Star Wars” characters, Dungeons and Dragons scenes and stories that have been passed down to David across generations. David said he grew up idolizing his elders — his grandfather was an amazing storyteller. Now, he illustrates those stories, his favorite being the Iroquois creation story. “I hope to preserve them and make them more accessible to the community, that they broker in a new era of storytelling,” David said. “I also hope that by strengthening our connection to the legends, support for our causes will not go so easily unheard.” Like David, Caleb Abrams uses his

Orange tallies fewer errors than Louisville in 5-set win By Kaci Wasilewski contributing writer
Tied up at 23-23 near the end of the second set, Syracuse called a timeout. The players huddled up, some sitting and some standing. All were looking at louisville 2 head coach Leonid syracuse 3 Yelin as he gestured with his hands. When the one-minute, 15-second timeout was over, seven of the girls took the court opposite Louisville. They wouldn’t be on the court much longer. Louisville came off the timeout with Melanie McHenry serving, the thud of the ball hitting the ground as she dribbled it echoed around the gym. She placed the ball in her hand, her other hand raised above her head. She threw it up and hit it straight into the net. Syracuse got the point for the service error. One more point and SU would tie 1-1.
That point came in the form of an attack error by Louisville’s Morgan Miller. Syracuse’s Mackenzie Weaver hit the ball over the net. In an attempt to save it, Miller hit the ball out of bounds and the Orange won the set.
37
Louisville made 37 errors against Syracuse, which buried the Cardinals. The Orange made 22 errors.
“There were a lot of errors from both sides,” Yelin said. “If somebody would have a little bit less then it would be an absolutely different outcome.” The two teams combined for 75 points on errors. In the five-set match, each frame finished with each team within five points of each other. SU topped U of L, 3-2, on Sunday at the
Women’s Building. Syracuse (4-12, 3-3 Atlantic Coast) had 31 errors total, including 22 attack errors, eight service errors and one blocking error. Louisville (6-10, 1-5) had 46 total errors consisting of 37 attack errors, eight service errors and one blocking error. The Orange picked up its second all-time win against Louisville and second in two seasons. “As a team, we worked really hard today to play for each other,” Weaver said. SU won the second, third and fifth sets, 25-23, 25-20 and 15-10, respectively. The Orange’s cleanest set was its second. Louisville committed 12 errors to SU’s seven. On Syracuse’s 11th point of the set, Jalissa Trotter chased a ball to a boundary line. As it started moving toward the bleachers, she reached her arm back but not enough to get the ball. It landed out of bounds. One of Louisville’s most impactful errors

Kendall Coleman has been one of Syracuse’s best defensive linemen, despite being a freshman and coming off shoulder surgery in the offseason. But on Saturday, Coleman suffered from a costly lapse in judgment. On one play in the fourth quarter, Coleman shoved a Wake Forest player after a play, earning some sort of verbal warning from a referee. About three plays later, he was called for targeting on a late hit to Wake Forest quarterback John Wolford. Coleman was ejected from the game and will be suspended for the first half of SU’s next game against Virginia Tech. jrmettus@syr.edu | @jmettus
Because if there’s one understanding, it’s that this was a game Syracuse needed to win to keep its bowl chances realistic. Getting to six wins was going to be tough no matter what. SU likely had to beat Colgate, Connecticut, Wake Forest and Boston College, while scraping two wins out of games against South Florida, North Carolina State, Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh. The loss to Wake Forest is the first game of the initial four the Orange has lost so far, but Pittsburgh looks as good as advertised and Virginia Tech has moved into the Top 25. The Hokies went on the road to beat North Carolina,
changed as a huge smile crept across her face. Brosnan compiled a career-high 15 saves in the best performance of her career. It even reminded Syracuse head coach Phil Wheddon of Tim Howard’s performance against Belgium in the 2014 FIFA World Cup for the United States. Brosnan was nearly unbeatable, letting in just one goal in the game. It was the secondmost saves in a game in program history. Syracuse (7-5-3, 0-4-2 Atlantic Coast) faced an attacking onslaught from No. 2 Florida State (9-2-2, 3-1-2) throughout the game. Most of it was spent in the Orange’s half — save for a few counterattacks — as SU essentially parked the bus on defense, keeping all but one player in the defensive end except on counterattacks. FSU outshot the Orange 27-9 on the day, but Brosnan held the Seminoles to one goal en route to a shocking 1-1 tie. “She’s been amazing for us all year,” Wheddon said. “But for her to come up big like that — especially when she’s injured — is a massive boost for us.” Ironically in her career-best performance, Brosnan was a game-time decision after separating her shoulder Thursday against Virginia Tech. She didn’t train on Friday or Saturday. The first action she received since Thursday, according to Wheddon, was a little handling practice Saturday morning. “I’ve been taking care of it and icing it as much as possible,” Brosnan said. “I came out in the warm up and I just knew I was ready to play. Pain is relative but it obviously hurt.” Coming into Saturday’s game, Syracuse had scored only one goal in its last four games. It took just 59 seconds for the Orange to erase that trend. But Florida State then controlled possession and relentlessly pressed forward. In the fifth minute, midfielder Megan Connolly laid a perfect cross to fellow sophomore Kaycie
another ranked team, 34-3, on Saturday. SU also dropped its matchup with South Florida. That leaves North Carolina State and Boston College as the most winnable games left on its schedule. The other four games are much tougher and will likely be considered major upsets if SU wins them. Babers began the week reiterating to fans that the “cake” he’s been baking was only in the batter stage, just being beaten together. So far, that’s been true. Most of what’s happened this season has been a product of problems other than coaching. He even let
came midway through the fifth set. Syracuse was up by one, 8-7, when Louisville’s Tess Clark hit the ball out of bounds. The attack error gave Syracuse a two-point lead over Louisville and helped spark its momentum. Immediately after, Weaver served. She threw the ball up and hit it straight onto Louisville’s side. McHenry juggled the ball before it hit the ground. Weaver was awarded the ace, putting the Orange ahead three points and only five points away from the win. SU came out with a 15-10 fifth-set win. While SU had fewer errors than UofL, it had a number of plays with bad coverage. Louisville scored many of its kills on plays when SU failed to cover enough ground. UofL’s errors bailed out the Orange’s. “We have to build (off) every game we have,” Yelin said. “Off every position, off everything good that happens.” klwasile@syr.edu
Tillman. Tillman booted it past Brosnan but the referee ruled she was offside. Yet it seemed inevitable that one of the Seminoles’ overwhelming number of chances would succeed. Finally, in the 25th minute, midfielder Elin Jensen tied the game. That was the only time Florida State beat Brosnan, though. The rest of the game consisted of the same. There were repeated and relentless Seminoles attacks against the Syracuse defense. Once in a while, Syracuse conjured powerful counterattacks and got opportunities on net. “That kinda wasn’t the strategy,” Jessica Vigna said with a laugh, regarding the prospect of the team parking the bus. “But it got difficult, so especially in the second half so we were just like OK, let’s survive until the end.”

Courtney Brosnan tallied 15 saves for Syracuse, a career-high and the secondmost saves in program history
“We had the wind in our face for the first overtime so we just tried to weather the storm on defense, “ Wheddon said, “and we knew we could catch them on the counter.” Despite dropping most of its team in front of the net, Syracuse still allowed a barrage of shots Brosnan’s way. In the second overtime, Brosnan slid to her knees to knock away a one-on-one shot from Tillman with her hands. Taylor Hallmon collected the rebound, but Brosnan dove to stop another potential game-winning shot. Wheddon’s stock answer describing Brosnan’s performances this season has been that she’s one of the best goalies in the ACC. He has said it at least four times now. But her outing Sunday wasn’t just another good performance. It was her best. brtollef@syr.edu
fans know that he was going to need time at the beginning of the season. Just like that first scoring play, SU has missed its chances all year, losing a firstquarter lead against South Florida, not keeping up with Notre Dame and blowing a winnable road game against Wake Forest. And because of that, they’ve continued proving Babers’ initial assessment right. Chris Libonati is an Asst. Sports Editor at The Daily Orange, where his column appears occasionally.

He started to curve away from the end zone as Parris Bennett reached around him and popped the ball loose. Then the cascade of Syracuse players, including Zaire Franklin, Ted Taylor and Eric Anthony, rumbled toward the end zone. Anthony was the farthest away from the ball, but none came up with it. Instead, Wake Forest’s Charles Argenzio landed on top of it. SU lost its opportunity for five more points, which would have been useful when it was down 14-9 and looking for any positives it could glean. “Just a bad play by me,” Franklin said. “That’s

all, I’d say. Bad play by me and Ted. I don’t, I don’t know. Just a bad play. That’s all I can say.” But it was just one of the bad plays. And that’s the problem. The bad plays stacked up, outweighed the good ones and put Syracuse’s (2-4, 0-2 Atlantic Coast) chances at bowl eligibility in jeopardy. That’s not to say SU was expected to make a bowl game because it wasn’t. But SU was expected to put on a better showing than it did in the 19-point loss to a team it has beaten every year since the Orange entered the ACC.
SU allowed the big plays that have buried the Orange all season, including a 37-yard touchdown run by Wake Forest (5-1, 2-1) quarterback John Wolford and WFU safety Cameron Glenn’s 83-yard fumble recovery touchdown. Those compounded the smaller errors, like not maximizing a scoring opportunity the Demon Deacons gifted the Orange. “We thought we had an opportunity to win to the very end,” Syracuse head coach Dino Babers said, “and we had some costly turnovers and some three and outs in some bad situations that really forced us to do some things down the stretch to kind of put it back into their favor.” Immediately after Syracuse dropped its fourth

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Syracuse (2-3, 0-2 Atalntic Coast) lost to Wake Forest (5-1, 2-1), 28-9, on a messy Saturday at BB&T Field in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Hurricane Matthew passing by brought heavy rain and wind throughout the first half and parts of the second, disrupting play. The two teams combined for two interceptions, six fumbles and six sacks. Orange quarterback
Eric Dungey was held to 156 yards passing and no touchdowns. Here’s a look at where some players and units stood out.
STOCK UP Sterling Hofrichter, redshirt freshman punter Despite the rain and winds that were gusting at 19 mph, Sterling Hofrichter did a good job getting his kicks downfield. None of his kicks were pretty. Most of them were low, line drive, knuckleballers, but they got the job done. Hofrichter booted
two punts more than 50 yards and two landed inside the 20. His 10 kicks totaled 415 yards — 89 yards more than SU’s offensive total — for an average of 41.5 yards. He forced fair catches three times and one of the punts was muffed, giving SU a chance to get the ball. Wake Forest only returned it three times for 8 total yards.

Courtney Brosnan frantically jumped up and down, shouting “clear the ball already” to her teammates. Only one florida state 1 m i n u t e syracuse 1 rema ined in overtime against Florida State. Brosnan had already faced 27 shots from FSU, eight of which came in overtime.
But instead of displaying exhaustion, she appeared animated and lively. Defender Maddie Iozzi complied with Brosnan’s demand and booted the ball to the other end of the field. FSU’s final assault on the Orange was terminated. When the horn sounded, Brosnan leapt into the air as her teammates mobbed her. Her intense demeanor throughout the game see brosnan page 14
