With several burglaries and crimes reported this semester, some students on South Campus are concerned for their safety By Hannah Ferrera and Karoline Leonard the daily orange

urglaries on Syracuse University’s South Campus have become increasingly more common this year, causing residents to grow concerned for their safety.

SU’s Department of Public Safety’s annual report revealed that burglaries on Syracuse University’s campus were 16 times higher in 2020 than in 2019. This September, DPS sent a series of emails to students, remarking on an investigation into a series of burglaries on South Campus. Since Aug. 22, 382 total crimes have been reported on SU’s campus and in surrounding neighborhoods,

according to DPS’s Daily Crime Log. Of these, 53 occurred on South Campus, and nine of the 53 were larcenies or burglaries. DPS arrested a 17-year-old unaffiliated with the university in connection to one of the break-ins on South Campus in late September. Some students said they have become increasingly see burglary page 4

About 200 people gather for annual Rose-Laying Ceremony By Karoline Leonard, Richard J Chang and Richard Perrins the daily orange

At 2:03 p.m., 37 students emerged from the Hall of Languages, each carrying a red rose. The bells chimed 35 times, but the almost 200 people watched in complete silence as the 35 Remembrance and two Lockerbie Scholars proceeded to the Place of Remembrance on

the cloudy Friday afternoon. The Remembrance Scholars were there to represent the students who died in the Pan Am Flight 103 terrorist attack over Lockerbie, Scotland, and the two Lockerbie Scholars — Lauren Carruthers and Alicia Pagan — were there to represent the Lockerbie 11 and Andrew McClune, a Lockerbie Scholar who died in 2002 while studying at SU.

On Dec. 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie when a bomb in the cargo hold went off as part of a terrorist attack. All 259 passengers and crew, along with 11 people on the ground, were killed. “Thirty-three years later, we still mourn,” said Morgan Eaton, who represents Amy Shapiro. “But amid the pain and longing are memories, sanctuaries for our sorrow, comfort when peace

feels distant, a warm reminder of a passing embrace. These memories, when made and shared, have life.” Each Remembrance Scholar pledged to look back and act forward in remembrance of the victim they represent before laying a single red rose on the Remembrance Wall. As Ifeyinwa Ojukwu, who represents Gretchen Joyce Dater, laid her rose on the wall, the sun

shone past the clouds that filled the sky, illuminating the Place of Remembrance and the people who came to honor those killed in the attack. In attendance were many previous years’ Remembrance Scholars, some of whom looked up to the sunshine. The two Lockerbie Scholars reminded the crowd gathered around the memorial that the
