Women engineers of color call for further representation at SU By Diana Riojas

digital copy chief

livia Flores received a greeting card the summer before she arrived at Syracuse University, in 2017, with a photo showing smiling women of color in the College of Engineering and Computer Science. It read “Women Lead.” Flores remembers being relieved. She grew up on Chicago’s South Side, on 71st street. She was excited to study aerospace engineering with women who looked like her, hoping to someday work for NASA. Walking into her “Introduction to Engineering and Computer Science” class last fall, though, Flores was one of only four women of color in her class. By midsemester she was one of three, after a student left the college. In recent interviews with The Daily Orange, some women engineering students of color said they often feel underrepresented and lack support in the college. During forums held after the release of the Theta Tau videos this spring, students spoke about what they consider a lack of diversity at the College of Engineering and Computer Science. Flores said she has experienced “hundreds” of microaggressions at the college, including being called “taco” by a male classmate. She decided to leave the school due to a lack of support there, Flores said.

Several students said they didn’t know much about the college’s diversity and inclusion initiatives, but they thought the college needed to hire more women in the college. They said they sometimes feel pressured to represent their race or ethnicity. “Especially being Latino, it can be daunting,” said Lluvia Lopez Garces, a sophomore civil engineering major and treasurer for SU’s Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. “Sometimes I do feel like I have to be careful with what I say because I am representing everybody else, as well. But I also take on the challenge.” Kyra Thomas, a sophomore computer science major, said she hasn’t had a black woman computer science professor in school. Hiring more black women as computer science professors would help ease tension and create more representation, Thomas said. Arvin Lin is in Thomas’s class and major. Two weeks ago, she almost wasn’t — she emailed Susan Older, program director of electrical engineering and computer science, to tell Older she was thinking about leaving the computer science major. Lin identifies herself as Asian-American. She finds comfort in being able to turn to Older, who ultimately encouraged Lin to continue her studies. Older sees her potential already, Lin said. “It’s really refreshing to hear it from a woman in the field because especially for (computer science), you don’t see a professor as a woman,” Lin said. When Theta Tau, a professional engineering fraternity, was suspended and

Carrier Dome roof plans approved SU updates sexual harassment policy By Casey Darnell asst. news editor

A new roof on the Carrier Dome is one step closer to reality. On Tuesday night the Syracuse Planning Commission approved Syracuse University’s plan to replace the 37-year-old covering. The new roof — part of SU’s $118 million project to renovate the Dome — will be a flexible “cable-

truss” structure that’s more stable than the current air-supported roof. Pictures released by SU show that part of the roof will be semitransparent, providing natural light for the facility. The university announced in May that it planned to add air conditioning, WiFi capabilities, new concessions spaces, a vertical hung scoreboard and improved sound and lighting systems at the

Dome. The roof replacement and other renovations are expected to be completed by fall 2020. A steel crown-truss structure will be built on top of the existing concrete ring wall of the Dome, according to SU’s application to the commission. The original project plan for the Dome was approved in 1979 and construction was finished in 1981.

(FROM LEFT TO RIGHT) JOEL KAPLAN, THOMAS LEGRO AND STEPHANIE MCCRUMMEN spoke about the 2017 Washington Post investigation into sexual misconduct allegations surrounding U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore. jessie zhai contributing photographer By Colleen Ferguson asst. news editor

Nearly a year after The Washington Post reported on sexual misconduct allegations against former United States Senate candidate Roy Moore, two journalists on the publication’s investigative team spoke at Syracuse University about the process that led them to win the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for their work. More than 50 people attended the talk at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications on Tuesday. Enterprise reporter Stephanie McCrummen and senior producer of digital video Thomas LeGro detailed their roles in the investigation from start to finish, sharing insights with audience members about the importance of tenacity and level-headedness in reporting. McCrummen emphasized the importance of “old-fashioned journalism” in times when she said numerous people and forces are working to undermine the field. Staying calm, keeping her head down and doing her job are what got her through the process,

McCrummen said. When Moore declared his candidacy for an Alabama Senate seat, people began to come forward with their stories, as well as provide tips and leads on other women, McCrummen said — some of them were “very fishy.” Jaime Phillips, posing as a Roy Moore victim, approached the Post team in 2017 and attempted to trick them into publishing her false testimony. The team discovered that Phillips was part of a sting operation with Project Veritas, a nonprofit founded in 2010. The organization’s founder, James O’Keefe, has taken aim at organizations like Planned Parenthood as well as other news outlets such as CNN. Through vetting sources, following hunches and being patient, the team discovered Phillips’ allegations were false. They decided to record video of a conversation between Phillips and McCrummen, in which the reporter confronted Phillips about her alternate motives for coming forward. McCrummen said the video received more than 2 million

views, calling that count “cat video territory.” “I think it went viral partly because … it showed a reporter at work,” McCrummen said of the nearly 10-minute clip. “I think the public is really hungry right now to understand what it is we do as reporters, so I think the video ended up being an act of transparency.” LeGro recalled being looped into the investigative process just before Thanksgiving last year. He was one of the reporters that, acting on a hunch, followed Phillips to work one morning and discovered she worked at Veritas. In his efforts to find a way to discreetly record the conversation between McCrummen and Phillips, which took place in a Virginia restaurant, LeGro and his colleague Dalton Bennett were at a nearby table posing as customers, filming the interview with an app that turned off the phone screen while recording. McCrummen, who was wearing a wire, informed Phillips multiple times that she was being audio and video recorded. She

wasn’t required by Virginia state law to inform Phillips that she was recording. She did so anyway, she said, because she didn’t want the interview to be seen by members of the Moore campaign, or by Project Veritas, as overly secretive. “We didn’t want for them to have any excuse at all … to say we were being surreptitious,” she said. Martin Baron, the paper’s editor, has always told team members that they’re not at war, they’re at work, she added. The talk was opened up for audience questions, and one student asked about the way McCrummen chose to write the story, noting that the style was devoid of emotionally charged language. The more horrifying or outrageous a story is, McCrummen said, the less emotional she believes the writing should be. “Emotion is not something that belongs in writing, action belongs in writing,” she said. “The story is what’s important. Tell the story and let people feel however they want to feel.” cefergus@syr.edu

Vera House releases domestic violence report By Catherine Leffert asst. news editor

The number of domestic violencerelated police calls in Syracuse did not change significantly between 2016 and 2017, a recent report published by Vera House Inc. has found. The annual report is compiled with data from agencies including the Syracuse Police Department and Onondaga County, said Chris Benton, director of Vera House’s marketing and communications. It was published Oct. 4. “There’s more work to be done in the community,” Benton said

on Tuesday. The report has been released 29 times, publicly detailing information on reported sexual and domestic violence in the city. In 2017, SPD answered 10,180 domestic-related calls, which is about 800 less than 2016, according to the report. Vera House provided therapy to 610 adults and 516 children in 2017, figures almost identical to 2016 data, when the organization provided therapy to 608 adults and 516 children, per the report. Benton said that Vera House releases the report to inform people about the organization and resources it provides. “We always want to improve

our communications, and let more people be aware, and know the services we offer to the community,” Benton said. Vera House announced in the report that, in 2017, it served 1,860 victims of domestic abuse, provided Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners to 317 sexual assault or abuse victims at local hospitals and engaged with 19,858 people through 54 schools, community groups and workplaces. Benton said Vera House’s 24-hour hotline has recently seen a spike in calls, which leads her to believe that the organization’s outreach is making a difference.

The report also stated that, in the United States, violence between intimate partners affects more than 12 million people each year. In Onondaga County, there were two homicides in 2017, and one in 2018, related to intimate partner violence, according to Vera House. SPD arrested 1,778 domestic violence perpetrators and 76 sexual offense perpetrators in 2017, while the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office and local town and village police arrested 1,586 domestic violence perpetrators and 87 sexual violence perpetrators, per Vera House’s report. ccleffer@syr.edu | @ccleffert

Officials have said the limo involved in the crash didn’t pass a September inspection, and the driver didn’t have the proper license to be operating the limo. source: cny central

POLICE BRUTALITY

Alonzo Grant, a Syracuse resident, is suing the city of Syracuse and three police officers for allegedly beating him after he called 911 in 2014. Charges were filed against Grant following the altercation with police, but the Onondaga County District Attorney’s office cleared him shortly after. source: syracuse.com

SEWER FEES

Onondaga County’s new budget will include an additional $25 in sewer fees, an increase of 6 percent from last year. Departing County Executive Joanie Mahoney proposed a $30 increase. An amendment was also included to allocate $200,000 to fight homelessness in Syracuse. The county legislators voted 16-1 to pass the $1.3 billion budget for 2019 on Tuesday. source: syracuse.com

Since, Dahlberg said she has tried to address students’ concerns about diversity and inclusion. Karen Davis, who ran the College of Engineering and Computer Science’s Career Services for 14 years, will now oversee the new Office of Inclusive Excellence, which launched Oct. 1. People who spoke at an April town hall said Davis is a crucial player in helping students succeed within the college.

dous step forward,” said Haleem Alakiu, a junior chemical engineering major. Despite being the only African-American in his chemical engineering graduating class, Alakiu said he never feels uncomfortable among his white peers. Davis is also leading a newly-created council of students, faculty and staff that will head a diversity audit within the college during the 2018-19 academic year. During her first six months, Davis said she will focus on the diversity audit, reviewing the college’s programs and identifying diversity and inclusion issues within the college. As director of the Office of Inclusive Excellence, she’ll be a direct line of communication for students, faculty and staff regarding issues they may have with diversity and inclusion, she said. Davis said student recruitment for the council has already begun, and the college is developing a diversity-focused training program for faculty and students called Strategic Inclusive Excellence Leadership Dialogue. It will take about two years to train all students, faculty and staff, Davis said.

Prior to stepping down from career services, Davis hired four new career advisers who are either of color or women. Growing up in the Bronx, Davis didn’t think she could be a women engineer, she said. She was good at math and a leader, but Davis said she didn’t realize her potential until she graduated from SU with a degree in communication and rhetorical studies, instead of engineering. “If I could do it all again, I would’ve become an engineer,” Davis said. All three of Davis’ children work in engineering fields. “They’re engineers for me.” Simone Burns, a senior environmental engineering major and vice president of the National Society of Black Engineers, said she wants to see increased recruitment of women, particularly women of color, within the college. “I’m usually the only black woman in my engineering classes,” Burns said. There used to be a Women Overnight event within the College of Engineering and Computer Science, in which Burns said accepted women engineering students could meet fac-

ulty and women’s groups on campus, creating a sense of community before the start of classes. That program was cut Burns’ sophomore year. Davis called it a “great program” that was “effective and impactful” but said she didn’t know why it was cut. She added that observations like that will be made in the diversity audit. But Flores said she never felt comfortable in the College of Engineering and Computer Science. She went to therapy sessions during her second semester because of her experiences in the engineering school, Flores said. She switched her major to political science and African-American Studies. When asked if she would ever return to the aerospace engineering program, Flores said she would only come back if she had Ben 10’s watch, which can transform humans into different physical forms. “I could slap the watch and turn into a generic white male,” she said. “I would be doing it all, aerospace, mechanical. I’d be doing it all.”

function, environmental footprint or area-ratio of the facility, which were all considered in 1979. “It’s simply replacing the existing roof with a newer roof to provide the same kind of functionality as before, but improve safety and so forth,” said commission chairperson Steve Kulick, after the meeting. Kulick said more consideration would’ve

been needed if the university had proposed changes to the Dome’s footprint or function. At a May press conference, Amir RahnamayAzar, SU’s senior vice president and chief financial officer, said the new roof will have a 40-year lifespan, which is more than double the lifespan of the current roof. He also said maintenance on the new roof will be less costly.

Funding for the renovation project will come from three major sources, he said: philanthropy, university reserves and long-term financing. Christine Capella-Peters, a member of the commission, said she didn’t know if SU would come back to the commission in the future to request approval for the Dome renovations.

report of suspected violations to university policy, according to the Prohibition of Retaliation policy. A new sexual harassment complaint form has also been introduced, per the release. The form was not listed on the Sexual Harassment, Abuse, and Assault Prevention Policy website or on the Office of Equal Opportunity, Inclusion and Resolution Services’ Report a Concern page, as of Tuesday evening. The university is required to ensure that the mandatory sexual harassment training includes an interactive com-

ponent, according to SU. This includes having an opportunity for questions and answers or feedback during live training and adding an interactive component to web-based training. The training will include discussions about unlawful conduct, resources where employees can file complaints, help available to victims and the responsibilities of supervisors. The Office of Equal Opportunity, Inclusion and Resolution Services will offer web-based training to all faculty and staff starting Monday, and live training sessions will continue

across campus. By October 2019, all faculty and staff must complete sexual harassment training annually. New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced the release of finalized materials and guidance on the statewide laws on Oct. 1, following a public comment period in August and September. The materials include model policies, trainings and forms, among other things. The state reviewed hundreds of comments from a range of employers, groups and individuals during the public comment period.

Diversity must always be promoted

ispanic Heritage Month ends on Oct. 15, but the Syracuse University community shouldn’t stop prioritizing minority representation within our community. Hosted by SU’s University Offices of Multicultural Affairs, National Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations have included a parade, guest speakers and art exhibits. That’s great. That’s warranted. But it’s important we don’t stop there. “Hispanic Heritage month focuses on the many contributions that Latinos have made to this country both historically and culturally. The celebrations give Latinos the opportunity to demonstrate their culture with music, food, and dress,” Elaine Meltzer, a Spanish professor at SU, said. While these celebrations are a way for Latino students to celebrate their cultures, the month also highlights the continuous need for minority representation within the SU community. According to a 2017 census conducted by the Office of Institutional Research, 57 percent of students are white — students of color make up 24 percent. And within that, only 9.5 percent are

JEWÉL JACKSON

IDA B. WELLS’ DAUGHTER Hispanic or Latino students. It’s no secret that SU is a predominately white institution, so it’s important to create spaces for people of color to feel comfortable and have their voices heard. For Latina student Tatiana Hernandez-Mitchell, a member of the Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, representation extends outside campus grounds and into admission rates. “Syracuse needs to enlarge the number of people of color they accept,” Hernandez-Mitchell said. “By making these numbers larger it will strengthen the Latinx community. From then on, more of us can come together and actually feel like we can work towards diversity and inclusion of ourselves.” Using education is another way to further the conversation about diversity. Sylvia Montijo, another member of the Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, suggested a class or humanities sequence that would teach students the history of people of color in the United States.

There are separate departments such as African American or LatinoLatin American studies, but courses within these departments aren’t always mandatory. If people took the time to learn and appreciate cultures outside of their own, we’d all be better off. “As a school we should create a class centered around counter narratives to dominant histories,” Montijo said. “Offices that support students of color, like the Office of Multicultural Affairs, must be given a bigger space and support.” Having a sense of belonging on this campus is so important. And through classes and campus organizations SU has the chance to foster that. Diversity needs to be understood outside of just admitting more students of color into the university. It needs to be addressed through the opportunities, voices and celebrations that allow and include students to feel equally apart of the collective student body.

Small-scale projects can bolster local ecology

yracuse University Enactus, a student-run organization that works to promote economic, social and environmental change in Syracuse, provides a unique solution to the waste produced from glass bottles through its Rescue Glass Project. It’s something we should take advantage of. Run by Emily Woodilla and Luke Brown, the project involves the upcycling of used wine and beer bottles from local Syracuse restaurants into candles. These candles are a new and creative product made from somebody’s trash — they’re not only beautiful, but help reduce Syracuse’s ecological footprint. While this project does promote sustainability, it was created largely to serve as a job and skills training program for people in the Syracuse community. It’s an organization that not many know about and we should consider participating. “Syracuse has an increasingly large homeless population and I think that this is something that needs to be dealt with,” Brown said. “The separation between the wealth that is on the Syracuse campus and the poverty of the inner city less than a mile away is alarming.” Specifically, Syracuse Enactus works with non-profit organizations to find clients in need of jobs, who are then paid to cut the bottles. The group’s ultimate goal is to allow their clients to fully take over the production process, and receive profits in return. The response to the project has been overwhelmingly positive, Brown said.

BE KEEN AND GO GREEN lation of poverty and homelessness in the area while also reducing waste is admirable and a definite win-win situation — what could’ve easily just been a humanitarian project focused on creating jobs as a path out of poverty now also serves as an opportunity for people to get more involved in environmental issues. That’s not something we see everyday. It can be hard for people to pay attention to issues that may appear less pressing, like global warming. So, unfortunately, environmentalists are often forced to take the backseat. But denial and apathy is not something we can afford to tolerate. Especially because the Trump administration has refuted the science behind global warming and supports defunding the EPA, the need for environmental advocacy is stronger than ever. A project like Rescue Glass, however small, that promotes environmentalism alongside social and economic issues, acts as a great facilitator of change to this dangerous disposition. Other companies should take a lesson from Syracuse Enactus and work to employ similar tactics in their own projects. Maybe then, environmental issues will get the treatment they deserve.

We help build that whole person, we help students that are seeking ... their way, their path.

ucked in a small, dark room in the basement of Hendricks Chapel, Syracuse University junior Noah Steinberg prepared to lead his weekly meditation session. It was March 2018 and midterms were approaching, so he expected a decent turn out. What Steinberg did not expect was SU basketball center Paschal Chukwu to attend. Standing at 7-foot2, Chukwu towered over everyone in the room as he introduced himself. He told Steinberg he needed help preparing for his upcoming game against Duke University in the March Madness Tournament. SU was the underdog, but they had beaten Duke University in the Dome the previous year, so stakes were high. Steinberg, attempting to hide his excitement, helped Chukwu get started and continued with the session. Hendricks Chapel hosts up to three, one hour-long meditation sessions each day. Sessions are led by practicing student leaders, the Buddhist Co-Chaplains and community volunteers. But the gatherings offer more than a quiet space to relax — they create opportu-

Since Steinberg’s father is Buddhist, he knew he would get involved with Hendricks after learning about the Chaplaincies. From there, he explored meditation as a daily practice and started spending more time with the students and staff involved. “I guess my primary inspiration back then was, throughout high school, I found it more difficult to maintain meditation,” he said. When he was younger, Steinberg said meditation wasn’t cool — he almost felt weird being

involved. But today, he is serving as president of SU’s Student Buddhist Association (SBA), working alongside Buddhist Co-Chaplains Joann Cooke and Jikyo Bonnie Shoultz. Cooke, who started at SU earlier this semester, is training to take over the Chaplaincy after Shoultz retires. But Cooke is no stranger to campus — she attended SU for her undergraduate degree back in 1977. “I think the one thing that has stayed the same with Hendricks is People’s Place,” Cooke said, laughing. Raised a devout Catholic, Cooke said she arrived on campus open-minded toward other religions. After exploring the different chaplaincies at Hendricks, Cooke said she took to Buddhism for its holistic approach to life and religion. To her surprise and relief, Cooke’s father wasn’t upset at her abandoning the church. “He was spiritually broader than the Catholic Church even though he was totally there with it, because when I left it he was not upset at all,” she said. While the meditation sessions at Hendricks aren’t directly run under the Buddhist Co-Chaplains, many of those involved do practice the faith. see meditation page 8

Syracuse film festival to premiere Breast cancer exhibit empowers survivors By Sarah Slavin asst. copy editor

Worlds, genres and stories will collide this week at the Syracuse International Film Festival. For the festival’s 15th anniversary, several video genres will be showcased, including fiction, nonfiction and even music videos. The event will be held from Oct. 10 to 14, with different films showcased on each day. The festival will commence with opening words from Deputy Mayor Sharon Owens on Wednesday. The first night, named “Grace Jones Night” is at the Redhouse Arts Center and will feature the most recent work from Grace Jones, a Syracuse

native. Her documentary “Bloodlight and Bami” will be shown in one theater, and two of her other films will be shown in other theaters at Redhouse. The showing will be then followed by a Q&A session with Jones via Skype. La Shaun (LS) Jones, festival chair and one of the directors of the festival, said, “What you’re going to look forward to is five days of entertainment for all cultures and ethnicities.” The second night, Thursday, called the “Jeremy Garelick Film Night,” will be held at the Palace Theatre. The night will include work from Liverpool native Jeremy Garelick, creator of “American

High,” a new high school comedy series. Garelick wrote and directed “Wedding Ringer,” which will be shown at the festival. Owen Shapiro, program coordinator in the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University and the co-founder and artistic director of the Syracuse International Film Festival, said they hoped to show two of Garelick’s films that were shot in Syracuse, but they aren’t finished yet. Garelick has shot four films in Syracuse and is currently working on his fifth. Garelick will be at the festival discussing “Wedding Ringer,” “American High” and his other films, Shapiro said. see film page 8

Tula Goenka was on her daily stroll through the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University in 2009 when she saw a poster about Christie Hefner, the former Playboy Enterprises chairman and chief executive officer. Hefner was coming to the university to speak. It was then that Goenka — a Newhouse Endowed Chair of Public Communications — came up with the idea of her project, “Look Now: Facing Breast Cancer.” “Being a breast cancer survivor, I

saw the sign and thought to myself, ‘Would Playboy ever put somebody like me?’” Goenka said. “What does it mean to be a woman? What does it mean to be feminine? What is considered sexy?” Goenka is the project director, working alongside project photographer Cindy Bell. The exhibition is on display from Oct. 8 to 31 at SU’s Point of Contact Gallery. It features different multimedia pieces, including a short documentary, portraits and interactive elements. Goenka and Bell will give a tour of the exhibit on Oct. 11 at 5 p.m., followed by a see exhibit page 8

meditation “It is not just related to Buddhism. By allowing meditation to happen in Hendricks, it can secure that practice regardless of what people identify themselves with,” said Junjie Ren, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. Ren didn’t initially enjoy the meditation sessions because they had a restrictive “structure.” But after developing closer bonds with the staff and students involved, he embraced the gatherings. Today, everyone in Hendricks knows Ren as the “meditation guy.” Syeisha Byrd, director of Hendricks Chapel’s Office of Engagement Programs, immedifrom page 7

Friday night’s festivities will also be held at the Palace Theatre and is the “Music & Silent Film Night,” which will feature live music and a music video competition. The four artists scheduled to perform are Dusty Pascal, Leo Crandall, Hove Morebuks and Dashe. Lynea D’Aprix is the director and dancer in her music video “Project Sandman,” which will be in the competition. D’Aprix worked with filmmaker Ben Cleeton on editing and from page 7

exhibit reception from 6-8 p.m. In 2010, Goenka did a proof of concept and held a panel discussion in Newhouse. She didn’t have enough time for her project then. But after being elected to the endowed chair position, her teaching load was reduced, and Newhouse gave her the funds to pursue it. Since then, she’s been working on her project’s exhibition. Gina Gayle, a doctoral student and Goenka’s research assistant, helped organize the entire exhibition, recruiting participants by reaching out to different support groups. The main pieces are portraits shot by Bell,

ately thought of Ren when asked about involved students. To Byrd, Ren’s journey resonates with why she loves working at Hendricks. “We help build that whole person — we help students that are seeking find their way, their path,” Byrd said. “I love to watch the growth as a shy, first-year student enters my office and watching them walk across that stage into that job or grad school program.” Through opportunities like meditation gatherings, students like Steinberg and Ren are able to explore their spirituality as well as connect with the community. Both of the students are making an effort to expand their audiences through more engaging activities. Today, Steinberg is working with the SBA

to bring regular session-goers out of the small room in Hendricks. He said he is currently collaborating with the Buddhist Co-Chaplains to organize sit-down events where students can talk about “unfiltered” things. Though Cooke only arrived on campus a few weeks ago, Steinberg said she has taken off with her responsibilities. By fostering collaborations between different student organizations and individuals as well as taking on new projects, Steinberg said she’s a great new addition to the chapel. But it’s going to be tough to replace Shoultz — among other high praises, Steinberg said she is “such an incredible human being.” For students looking to attend meditation

sessions, there are new opportunities this semester. Steinberg is organizing a few offcampus retreats where students can meditate for an entire weekend — his parents offered up their family vacation home in the Adirondack Mountains for an upcoming retreat, he said. The sessions are located in the lower level of Hendricks in the Small Chapel. Meditation sessions run Mondays starting at noon, 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m.; Tuesdays at noon and 4 p.m.; Wednesdays starting at 5:30 p.m.; Thursdays at 9:30 a.m.; and Fridays at 11 a.m. Sessions typically run an hour long; however, the last 15 minutes are generally dedicated to mingling, according to Cooke.

producing this video. This is her first time creating a film, but she said it’s definitely something she hopes to do in the future. Saturday’s event will be held at Redhouse from 10 a.m. to midnight. Starting at noon, all three theaters will show films that were accepted into the festival and invitational films as well. More than 40 films will be shown on Saturday, but some include “American Dresser” and “Pottersville” which were filmed in the Syracuse area, and “Hudson,” by Sean Cunningham, a Syracuse native. At 10 a.m. there will be the “Filmmakers

Forum,” where filmmakers who are presenting at the festival will speak with other local filmmakers. They will speak on how the economy of independent cinema works and will provide feedback on the work of filmmakers in central New York, Shapiro said. Then at 11 a.m. they will feature a new 48-hour film making competition featuring student groups and a cash prize. Sunday’s portion of the festival will be held in Shaffer Art Building’s Shemin Auditorium starting at 1 p.m., which will show work from SU film students. 3 p.m. is the Imaging Disabil-

ity in Film showcase and a Skype interview with the director of one of the films. There will also be a Native American showcase with four short films by Native American filmmakers. The festival ends around 6 p.m. with a showing of the film “Sami Blood,” which Shapiro said “has won more awards than almost any film ever.” Tickets range from $15 to $75. SU andLe Monye College students will be admitted for free with a student ID. For more information and tickets go to syrfilm.com.

a local photographer. The 44 participants, both men and women, reveal their bare chests in these photographs, exposing their scars. Twenty-five participants agreed to reveal their identities in the portraits, while 19 chose to remain anonymous. Being a breast cancer survivor herself, Bell was especially moved by the project. “I’ve been there,” she said. “I know how it feels.” Goenka said the purpose of the portraits is to emphasize that you never know what someone is going through. She said the exhibition aims to provide a voice and hope for survivors, those who are undergoing treatment now and those who might be diagnosed in the future. Rachel Francisco, an academic coordinator

at Newhouse whose portrait was taken for the exhibit, was never diagnosed with breast cancer but got a mastectomy at the age of 29. After five members of her immediate family were diagnosed with breast cancer, she found out she was BRCA1-positive. This genetic mutation raises the chances of her getting breast cancer to 85 percent throughout her entire life. After four years of debating, she decided to get a mastectomy. “At the time I had two young children, and I wanted to see them grow up,” Francisco said. Francisco said there were so many factors during this process that she had never thought of prior. “You never really think about not being able to breastfeed anymore, and all these things

that make you a woman,” Francisco said. Although it was a tough decision, Francisco is content with the way it turned out. She feels like a stronger person and is very grateful that there is now only a two percent chance of her being diagnosed with breast cancer. “So many people had to make this decision facing cancer,” Francisco said. “I didn’t.” With the exhibition’s upcoming reception, Goenka is excited for everyone to see all the work everyone has put into the final project. “It’s really about empowering people,” Goenka said. “Empowering the people who participate, empowering the people who came to the gallery.”

Folk-rock band Driftwood will kick off its fall 2018 tour in Syracuse at The Westcott Theater on Friday at 8 p.m. Along with local hits and favorites from the band, it will play songs off of its upcoming studio album, which is set to be released later this year. photo courtesy of groundwork artist management

Folk-rock band Driftwood to perform at The Westcott Theater

By Meredith Clark

contributing writer

omeday, the band members of Driftwood hope to take over the world. Until then, Syracuse is a close second. Folk-rock band Driftwood will play this Friday at The Westcott Theater, the first venue to kick off the band’s fall tour. The concert starts at 8 p.m, with doors opening at 7 p.m. Bluegrass-rock band The Old Main will open the show. Fans can expect classics from Driftwood’s five previous studio albums, as well as new songs off of their upcoming album, which will be released this winter. Joey Arcuri, the bassist of Driftwood who is originally from Syracuse, is excited to return to The Westcott. “The Westcott’s a cool venue,” Arcuri said. “It’s a large stage. It’s a big sound system. There’s some seats, but basically the open floor encourages dancing and it’s always a rock ‘n’ roll time.” Following their show at The Westcott, Driftwood is set to play in several major cities, including New York, Philadelphia, Albany, Rochester and Ithaca. Arcuri said the best part about being on tour is all of the laughs that come along with it. “We have a lot of fun together, so we look forward to the comradery of the band,” Arcuri said. “It’s fun to travel — although all of the things you hear about it being tiring is true, it’s counteracted by all the fun and the laughs that we do have.” The band was originally founded in 2005 by instrumentalists Dan Forsyth and Joe Kollar, when the duo began playing music together in high school in Binghamton. Forsyth and Kollar started off as a jam band, playing funk-rock music. It wasn’t until they began to write their own songs — along with the additions of violinist Claire

Byrne, drummer Will Sigel and Arcuri — that Driftwood was fully formed. Driftwood describes their music as “song-driven folkrock,” with many bluegrass influences stemming from their upstate New York roots. Kollar, who plays the banjo, was especially attracted to the acoustic scene of the grassroots Ithaca area. Many of his songs are inspired by the upstate New York environment where he grew up. “I mention a lot of trees in my songs and a lot of rivers, and I sort of grew up by a river,” Kollar said. “I imagine if I was in a different sort of area of the country, or a different place, I might not make those connections with the landscape and the sort of the feel of the environment.” The members said they are full of excitement with the release of their new album this winter. The band believes their new music will represent Driftwood in its most honest and true form. “We get better at making albums as we get more experience and the more we do it, so I think this is the finest representation of Driftwood yet,” said Arcuri. Opening for Driftwood at The Westcott Theater is bluegrass rock band, The Old Main. The band’s drummer, Mitch Eckler, said he’s excited for the high energy of the show and to reunite with Driftwood. “It seems like the only way you see any of your friends in this industry is to play a show together,” Eckler said. One thing that constantly draws both The Old Main and Driftwood back to The Westcott, they said, is the life and energy of the Syracuse community. Eckler said Syracuse has a culture of appreciating originality. It always feels like home, he said. More information about tickets and event details can be found on their website. mclark18@syr.edu

munroe Maurice said, a quality in her voice that is rarely heard. Munroe received a letter after she returned to Syracuse notifying her of the good qualities she exhibited during the camp as well as the ones she needed to work on. She had skill, it said, but she needed speed. “(Her teammates) didn’t give her a chance to be down too long,” Maurice said. “She had a role to play on the team at Syracuse. It made her focus on the moment at hand.” Before long, the best season of Munroe’s Syracuse career was underway. Using her experience from the summer with the development team, she posted career-highs in goals (seven) and assists (14), en route to being named the conference’s defender of the year in her sophomore season. Despite Munroe’s accolades, Syracuse fell in the CHA championship for the second year in a row. As a freshman, she’d scored a goal and tallied an assist in the title game loss. As a sophomore, Munroe and the Orange were shut out. She was named to the all-tournament team both years, but that didn’t matter. When Syracuse fell to Mercyhurst 4-3 in double overtime of the CHA championship in her freshman year, SU’s seniors pleaded to the underclassmen not to do what they’d done. “Don’t wait until your senior year to win the CHA,” the seniors said, something that Munroe has never forgotten. Last year, Munroe contracted mono late in the season, causing her to miss the playoffs — something she chalks up as a “failure” — and watched Syracuse’s season end while on the bench. “I remember some of our meetings when she was (a freshman),” SU head coach Paul Flanagan said. “Just wanting to win a championship. Now all of a sudden you fast forward, she’s a from page 12

hagman “I hadn’t been scoring,” Hagman said. “It was a relief to get the first goal in the net. Then ... two more.” Syracuse (6-4-1, 1-3-0 Atlantic Coast) has opened up its offense by moving Hagman forward in its formation. Formerly in a more defensive role — an assignment he said he wasn’t exactly used to — the Orange has switched its lineup to emphasize scoring and creating offensive chances and the results have showed. Against the Zips, the midfielder scored three goals. In the ensuing games, SU’s offense has followed. Over the course of SU’s three-game win streak, the Orange have scored eight goals, their most over a three-game stretch this season by two scores. Syracuse, previously a bottom-dweller in ACC scoring, is now tied for fourth in the conference with 20 goals. Against Akron, with Raposo out of the lineup after sustaining an ankle injury at the end of Syracuse’s road loss to Virginia Tech, McIntyre decided to shift Hagman forward. The senior scored his first goal off a deflection on a shot by Tajon Buchanan. Then another off a Buchanan attempt. The third, deflected again, was off a sliding shot from Severin Soerlie. Hagman said there’s no way to practice it. You can’t prepare for them. They don’t happen often, and when they do you just have to follow up. Though he doesn’t think he’s exhausted his quota for tip-in goals, Raposo noted that it was from page 12

all support the team having fun together.” Those selected as members of the Mafia have specific roles and are responsible for figuratively killing off Innocents. During the “day cycle,” Innocents must seek out which players are Mafia. To maintain the secrecy of your identity, you have to be good at lying, Allen said, and there are several SU players who aren’t. “Clarke (Brown) is bad. Mackenzie (Vlachos) is bad. Lysianne (Proulx) is bad,” Allen said. “They can’t lie. They just can’t.” Throughout each round, players try to discover others’ roles through their behavior, hold discussions and accuse players whose roles they think they know. The Innocents aim to correctly identify the “Mafia” during the “day cycle,” removing them from the game, while the Mafia try to kill off Innocents during the

senior, here we go, you still got one chance.” By the end of her sophomore year, her consecutive failures individually and as a team piled up. When the decisions for the Canadian Development Team were made, Munroe felt as pessimistic as ever. She couldn’t make the camp that summer, so she expected the worst. At her Syracuse apartment with her roommates, Eastwood, Brooke Avery and Maddi Welch, the call came. As her phone rang, she looked at them and thought, “I’m getting cut.” But when she emerged from her room after the call, she told them the good news: she made it. “It was a shock, to be honest,” Avery said. “She never goes out of her way to share that stuff … she came out and she was like, ‘I made the team,’ it was just so relieving, for us, she was so stressed about it.” For a period after getting cut the first year, the letter informing her of her shortcomings from the first tryout hung in her room at Syracuse, reminding her of her biggest failure in hockey. It also alluded to her strengths. As a kid, Munroe’s dream was to get invited to and ultimately make the Canadian Development Team. As a member of the Orange, her only goal has been to win the CHA title. Munroe’s teammates and coaches have seen noticeable differences in her play and demeanor since getting cut by and later making the Canadian Development Team. She’s introduced new ideas in practice and games and, as captain, helped acclimate freshmen to Syracuse. The pieces are there to win a CHA championship, Flanagan said. After the past CHA title losses, Maurice relayed the message Munroe’s heard all her life: The best is yet to come. “At the end of the year, it’s a failure, you don’t move on,” Munroe said. “It’s been tough the last couple years with that — just drives me more.” erblack@syr.edu | @esblack34

just “(Hagman’s) day.” “I told Tajon, ‘You should just shoot it and I’ll be there to take the rebound,’” Hagman joked. With Hagman shifted up, the Orange rotated Djimon Johnson back to take the defensive-minded role in the midfield that Hagman formerly held. The Orange have experimented quite a bit with their offense. Against then-No. 1 Wake Forest, in SU’s upset win, the Orange started four back on defense but made an effort to push players forward with Hagman and midfielder Massimo Ferrin starting beyond midfield. Ferrin, who has also been a benefactor of Hagman’s shift, scored two goals against Ohio State. Hagman said the move gave him more “freedom” to make an impact on offense. While he feels he created chances earlier in the year, the shift to a more offensive role allowed him to be in the “right place at the right time” when the Orange have threatened close to the opposing goal. McIntyre knew Hagman had the capability to score goals — he has 13 in his four-year career at Syracuse — but it was just a matter of “finding the balance.” Though Hagman seems to be firmly into his new role, McIntyre said that the formation will vary among future matchups after SU’s win over Ohio State. Reminded about the ride home from Akron, Hagman laughed. He said he wasn’t annoyed with Raposo, even when he was woken up. Going back to sleep was easy. “I couldn’t really get mad that night,” Hagman laughed. mmcclear@syr.edu | @mikejmccleary

“night cycle.” The game ends when either the Mafia wins by killing all the Townspeople, or the Townspeople correctly identify the Mafia. While all of SU’s players have participated in the game at one point or another, Wheddon has never played. “I stay out of those games,” Wheddon said with a chuckle. “On the bus, they’re a very tight group. If they’re not sleeping or studying, they’re playing (Mafia).” Getting to know one another’s tendencies as people has helped Syracuse on the field, Allen said, as the players have learned how to motivate and pick each other up. The Orange’s cohesion has contributed to the constant belief that it can compete with anyone, regardless of what the records and statistics say. “I know so many teams that would have crumbled completely by now,” Allen said. “This team is nowhere near that.” ddschnei@syr.edu

Framing failure Allie Munroe’s shortcomings fuel her success By Eric Black

asst. digital editor

ix words are tattooed on Allie Munroe’s ribs. Inked on the right side of her body during her freshman year, the message finishes each conversation with her dad. “The best is yet to come.” Maurice Munroe began saying the phrase when his daughter was younger and would suffer a setback during a game or weekend series. He believed that no matter what, the situation could always improve. He didn’t like to see Munroe pout when things didn’t go her way, so the phrase caught on as a reminder that she should keep her head up. “If your life’s going good, that doesn’t mean it can’t get better. If your life’s going bad, I just think it can only go up,” she said. “I view that in a hockey sense and a life sense.” Now a senior at Syracuse University, Munroe has had far more successes than failures in her hockey career, one filled with individual and team accolades. As a captain for the Orange, she is still looking for SU’s elusive first-ever College Hockey America conference championship. She’s won CHA defender of the year, all-conference first team honors and was named to the Canadian National Women’s Development Team. But all she talks about are the downs: CHA playoff losses and the one time she was cut. “Unless we ask her, she doesn’t really say too much,” roommate and co-captain Lindsay Eastwood said. “She doesn’t want to throw it in our face at all … she’s super humble about it.” Munroe had dreamt about the chance to play for the development team since she was a kid. She expected to make it, just like she had with all of her other teams — only this time, she’d represent her country. Along with 46 other girls who were invited to the development team camp, Munroe waited to talk to the coaches. Once in the room, Munroe heard news she hadn’t before: she didn’t make it. Munroe left the facility and boarded the bus where the other girls who’d also gotten cut were transported home. Instead of crying, she held it in. The sadness and disappointment of being told she’d missed the team sunk in quickly, but the tears took a while. She didn’t usually cry in front of people. “Everyone’s rooting for you, so it goes to your head,” Munroe said. “You don’t only disappoint yourself. Everyone wants you to succeed, so it’s difficult when you fail.” Following the announcement, she called her parents, who listened to their daughter through speakerphone. She sounded depressed, see munroe page 10

Hagman shift boosts SU offense Playing ‘Mafia’ keeps Syracuse’s spirits up By Michael McCleary asst. sports editor

After Syracuse completed the first game of a three-game win streak, a dominant road win over Akron, there was little celebration. In the four games prior, SU went to twostraight double overtimes and then set out on a two-game road trip, ending with the Orange’s matchup with the Zips. It was 10 p.m. and, with a six and a half hour bus ride ahead of them, players just wanted to sleep. As Jonathan Hagman faded in and out, the reminders were all around him about what had just happened a few hours earlier, whether he wanted them or not. Ryan Raposo, who head coach Ian McIntyre said has a tendency to “bounce off the walls,” woke Hagman up a few times and looked for every opportunity to yell: “Hat trick hero!” see hagman page 10

Syracuse’s current nine-game losing streak is the longest in program history. Its last win came more than a month ago. “In those cases, the chemistry is often one of the first things to go,” said SU head coach Phil Wheddon of losing. But the Orange’s team chemistry has only gotten stronger as the season has gone on, and a party game is one of the reasons why. Syracuse (3-11, 0-6 Atlantic Coast) has maintained a strong team bond by playing “Mafia” on bus rides and in airports. The game has filled many of the hours the Orange has spent on the road and in the air, allowing players to take their minds

off their undesirable season. More importantly, it contributes to the team’s unity and has brought them closer, Georgia Allen said. “Mafia” is played with a minimum of seven players and revolves around conflict between the “Mafia,” and the “Townspeople.” A player’s role — either as the “Mafia,” “Detective,” “Doctor,” “Barman,” “Magician,” or “Innocent” — is determined by the card they are randomly assigned by the moderator. At the beginning of the season, Kate Hostage suggested SU play the game when it had several hours to kill. Ever since, it’s been a hit. “There’s always couple girls that do homework on the bus instead, they don’t play,” Victoria Hill said. “But I think everybody has played. There’s never anybody against it. We see mafia page 10
