Candidates Conole, Williams debate abortion, economy

By Dominic Chiappone staff writer

Democrat Francis Conole and Republican Brandon Wil liams debated for the first time in the race for New York’s 22nd Congressional Dis trict Wednesday afternoon. The Newhouse School of Public Communications hosted the event. The two candidates dis cussed abortion, inflation and the recently announced Micron

Technology factory being built in the district. The candidates are running to replace Rep. John Katko, who did not run for reelection. The newly-drawn dis trict includes Syracuse.

During the debate, Conole and Williams contradicted one another on reproductive rights.

Williams classified himself as a pro-life candidate, while Conole said he is in favor of codifying abortion at the federal level if elected to Congress.

“What the courts did is allow the government to take this deci sion away from women on whether or not to bear a child,” Conole said.

“This kind of government over reach should scare any American (and) any central New Yorker.”

Conole and Williams dis agreed over the specifics of abortion laws. In the debate, Conole claimed that Williams supported a national ban on abortion. Williams objected, saying he was in favor of exemp

tions for rape, incest and if the health of the mother is at risk.

At an August forum in Syracuse, Williams expressed support for providing exceptions in those circumstances.

While speaking on reproduc tive rights, Williams accused Conole of spreading lies on his abortion stance.

“I’ve always been clear about my position on abortion,” Wil liams said. “I am pro-life, and I will protect the exceptions for

abortion on rape, incest and the life of the mother throughout the entire campaign.”

In a recent Siena poll, 26% of voters considered abortion one of the two most important issues heading into the midterm elec tions. But in the same Siena poll, 61% of voters said economic issues are one of the two most important problems facing the country.

Conole said he supports tax cuts for the middle class, lower

Chancellor Syverud announces fall break starting in 2023

By Dominic Chiappone staff writer

Syracuse University will offer a fall break starting next year, Chancellor Kent Syverud announced at Wednesday’s University Sen ate meeting.

The break, which will last for four days and fall sometime in between Labor Day and Thanksgiving, comes after a heavy push from SU’s Student Association, Syverud said. SA first proposed a fall break last spring as part of SA president David Bruen’s plan to increase the amount of wellness days in SU’s calendar.

During his address, the chancellor also discussed the recently announced Micron facility, which will be the largest private investment in the history of New York state. The project requires $100 bil lion in funding.

SU, which played a role in recruiting the company to the area, plans to partner with Micron by collaborating on research and development, providing student internships and creating a pipeline of SU students to work with the company.

“We have to move quickly and creatively to realize the full potential of this oppor tunity,” Syverud said. “How prepared and proactive we are as a university will really have a direct impact on our success and the success of Micron in the region.”

Though the Micron plant will have many positive benefits for SU, Senator Sam Gorovitz said the university needs to be cautious of employees switching to work for the company.

“Micron will need lots of talented staff, and one of the places they are likely to look to

for talented, experienced staff is to Syracuse University,” Gorovitz said. “We need to be prepared to resist the loss of many of our fine staff to Micron, which has deeper pockets and may be a particularly attractive employ ment opportunity.”

Coran Klaver, co-chair of University Senate’s LGBTQA Justice and Advocacy committee, also provided an overview of the committee’s recommendations at the meeting.

Klaver said SU needs to keep its LGBTQ

Resource Center sufficiently staffed to meet the increasing student demand, especially after it cut one of its full-time administra tive staff members.

Syracuse named in top 50 most rat infested cities

By Kyle Chouinard news editor

Syracuse’s metropolitan area was in the top 50 cities for the number of rodent treatments from 2021 to 2022, according to a list that Orkin, a pest control service, released on Oct. 17. Syracuse has ranked on the list six consecutive times starting in 2017.

“Rodent infestations are among the top pest issues of the fall and winter seasons,” wrote researcher Ben Hottel in Orkin’s press release. “Not only are mice and rats a nui sance, but they are known to spread a variety of dangerous diseases, including Salmonella and Hantavirus.”

Orkin lists Syracuse 42nd this year, the lowest position since 2019 when Syracuse came in 39th. Other New York cities on the list this year include Buffalo, which placed 39th, and Albany, which placed 34th. New York City had the highest number of rodent treatments in the state and the second high est in the United States, just behind Chicago.

Experts in rat populations said cities are a perfect breeding ground for rodents.

“Rats thrive in cities because there is an abundance of resources available to them,” wrote Kaylee Byers, the Deputy Director of the Wildlife Health Cooperative of British Columbia, in an email to The Daily Orange.

“This is ample food, from restaurants to home waste in alleys to backyard gardens.”

Dawn Biehler, a professor of geography and environmental systems at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and author of “Pests in the City: Flies, Bedbugs, Cockroach es and Rats,” said housing also contributes to growth of rat populations.

“American society and its system of gov ernment is not very good at maintaining the quality of housing over time,” Biehler said. “Housing, like any other physical object, decays over time.”

She said decaying buildings can be an ideal habitat for rats. Byers said rats are particular ly adaptable to urban environments because they are omnivorous with a versatile diet and

need little space to make a burrow.

“I’ve found rat burrows next to telephone poles, where the only evidence was a crack in the cement,” Byers wrote in her email.

Orkin wrote in the release that it con structed the list not by analyzing the number of new rodent treatments it performed in each city’s metropolitan area over the course of Sept. 1 2021 to Aug. 31 2022. Byers said people should not take Orkin’s methodology as the whole truth.

The “rattiest city” ranking is based on anecdotal data and has biases in its meth odology, she said. She said it’s likely many people who encounter rats in either a resi dential or commercial space don’t choose to report them to the government or to a private company like Orkin. Still, Byers said the data has value.

“We really don’t know how many rats are in our cities,” she wrote. “To know how many rats there are, we need to go out and count them, systematically throughout a city.”

With high rat populations in cities like

NYC and Syracuse, city governments are looking for solutions. On Oct. 18, NYC Mayor Eric Adams and NYC Sanitation Commis sioner Jessica Tisch announced a plan revis ing the city’s garbage collection policies.

Byers emphasized that some methods of reducing rats can have negative envi ronmental impacts. The use of rodenti cides can poison other animals if they eat the rat after it dies. British Columbia has issued a temporary ban on rodenticides in order to better understand their eco logical impacts, she said.

Both Byers and Biehler agreed that humans have exacerbated rat presence in cities, from providing them a large amount of food to creating habitats in abandoned properties.

“I don’t blame the rats. I blame the system that they’re in. I don’t necessarily see rats as bad animals,” Biehler said. “They’re a symp tom of what we’ve got as a society.”

Syverud credited the Student Association for pushing the idea of a fall break to be implemented. It will be implented as a fourday weekend next year. joe zhao contributing photographer

“(People) are going to be moving from places that are devastated by climate change, weather patterns, (and) moving to places that have less severe issues when it comes to climate change,” Chu said.

In September, flooding in Pakistan dis placed 32 million people. Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico displaced another 12,485 people in the same month. Experts said Syracuse could become a climate haven for people escaping their homes in places like Pakistan and Puerto Rico amid increasing extreme weather events and temperatures.

Other cities in New York, like Buffalo, have already dubbed themselves “climate refugee cities.” Rochester released a report in 2019 on how to work with climate refugees arriving in the city over the next few decades.

Joshua Cousins, an environmental studies professor at SUNY ESF, said peo ple fleeing climate disasters will be a mix of climate refugees and climate migrants. While climate migrants may move in pur suit of a more desirable climate, refugees will be forced to move in the wake of a disaster, he said.

“There are going to be constrained zones of liveability, there will be people in

costs on prescription drugs, a lift on the gas tax at the federal level and support for unions. Neither candidate said they sup port cutting funding for Social Security or Medicare.

During the debate, Williams support ed limiting “out of control” government spending and criticized President Joe Biden for the Inflation Reduction Act. Williams also criticized the current state of the economy, saying that Americans are still suffering at the pump and in the grocery story.

“Is it heat or is it eat?” Williams said. “Those are the choices that are being made.”

One potential boost coming for central New York’s economy is the new Micron microchip factory coming to Clay, 10 miles north of Syrcuse.

Conole and Williams both supported the creation of the $100 billion plant and the economic opportunities it could create. Williams said it was a “huge game-changer.” Conole said central New York is on the edge of “exciting growth and opportunity.”

The candidates shared a hardline stance against Russian President Vladi mir Putin. Williams and Conole each sup

those places that will have to move, (and) how and where they’ll move is unknown,” Cousins said.

Both Chu and Charles Driscoll, a profes sor of environmental systems at Syracuse University, agreed the impacts of climate change will be more mild in Syracuse than in other locations. Driscoll pointed to the city’s high latitude, availability of water and abun dant land. Chu added that the city could leverage its local natural freshwater.

Updating the city’s water infrastructure to increase its capacity would be a relatively easy fix, Driscoll said.

With an increased growing season and larger volumes of precipitation in fewer rainfall events, Driscoll said the city will become warmer. Syracuse’s climate could become similar to that of North Carolina or Virginia, Driscoll said.

Chu said erratic precipitation will cause the majority of the changes.

“We’ll see more flooding, we’ll see irregu lar snow patterns and so on,” she said. “But, it’s very mild compared to what we’re seeing in other places.”

Cousins said Syracuse is a “legacy” city, which means it has more infrastructure than necessary for its population and can accommodate an influx of people. Other rust belt cities like Rochester and Buffalo are also

legacy cities. As of 2021, Syracuse’s popula tion is just over 146,000.

Cousins emphasized that strong social infrastructure is just as important as physi cal infrastructure. Syracuse has programs, such as InterFaith Works CNY’s New Ameri cans program, designed to help people new to Syracuse and the United States, Chu said.

Syracuse already considers itself a sanc tuary city, which means they don’t help fed eral deportations. In 2017, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to with hold federal funding for sanctuary cities. Stephanie Miner, the mayor of Syracuse at the time, said the city and its police depart ment wouldn’t be used to enforce federal anti-immigrant policies.

“I pledge we will continue Syracuse’s commitment to our New American resi dents, building the trust and relationships our neighbors deserve and continue to treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve,” Miner said in a press release at the time.

Driscoll believes the city should already be preparing to become a hub for people displaced by climate change.

“It is in the city’s best interest to become a climate refugee city. I think it is a logi cal outcome, and I’ve been saying this for close to two decades,” Driscoll said. “I can’t

imagine that this is not going to happen, and I think that central New York needs to start planning for it.”

Chu said the city should always be think ing about resiliency and sustainability.

“If they’re not thinking about it right now, it’s a big mistake,” Chu said.

While Syracuse may have the infra structure to handle an influx of people, Driscoll said the city as a whole isn’t prepared. He said his main concerns are its overall housing, transportation and employment opportunities. He said if there is going to be a large population increase, the city needs to upgrade and increase the capacity of its wastewater plant to accommodate the influx.

Driscoll said the city should be leverag ing Micron Technology – which recently announced it will invest up to $100 billion in a semiconductor manufacturing facil ity near Syracuse – and I-81 construction in order to be equipped as a climate haven. The investments could be a jumping-off point for the region’s development over the coming decades, he said.

“The transition needs to be done in a staged and controlled manner and the time to plan for this is now,” Driscoll said. “It honestly should have been earlier.”

ported sending financial support for aid to Ukraine, although Williams said he would not write a “blank check.” But on the question of sending American troops to assist Ukraine, the candidates took different approaches.

As a veteran, Conole called himself a strong supporter of the Powell Doctrine, which statesthe U.S. would need a clear military objective in order to go to war.

Conole said that pushing back against President Putin is “absolutely critical.”

He also said sending troops to Ukraine will be a serious decision he would look at closely.

Williams said he does not support send ing American troops into Ukraine.

Conole and Williams will debate again on Thursday, with a third and final debate scheduled on Wednesday, Nov. 2. Early vot ing begins this Saturday, Oct. 29.

With Election Day approaching, Wil liams says the framework for this year’s midterm elections come down to one theme.

“We keep coming back to issues way down on the priority list,” said Williams.

“The truth is, when you go to the gro cery store, decide who you want to vote for. When you fill up the car,decide who you’re going to vote for. We can’t afford to feed our homes.”

Klaver said SU should collaborate with the committee to design and imple ment DEIA policies in the Office of Human Resources. The university also needs to create a clear timeline for providing and updating online resources for transgen

der students, and invest in training about LGBTQ student experiences for faculty and staff, she said.

Senator Kellin Tasber, a Graduate Stu dent Organization representative to the University Senate, said the recommenda tions were “imperative” to supporting the DEIA action plan.

“As a graduate student representa

tive and also a member of the LGBTQ community from the graduate student population, these recommendations would make a huge difference for not only the graduate student population, but I think the student population at large,” Tasber said.

For Sanchez and many other students at Syracuse University, Día de los Muertos is a day to recognize family members and loved ones who have passed away. Recognized on Nov. 1 and 2, the Mexican holiday celebrates deceased relatives by inviting them to partake in festivi ties with the living.

Various facets of the holiday, like creating an ofrenda for deceased family members or deco rating with calaveras, which can be sugar skulls

Traditionally, ofrendas — Spanish for “offer ings” — are a collection of items that families build to invite their deceased loved ones back to the land of the living. Ofrendas, which are each unique to the deceased person, include some of the dead’s personal items, clothing and a photo of them, as well as a slew of traditional Mexican foods, like pan de muerto, or the dead’s favorite foods. Family members and friends set up the display on an altar or a table.

Students talk cultural appropriation ahead of Halloween

By Griffin Brown contributing writer

Freshman Joey Mueller remembers one Halloween as a child when people around him dressed in Indigenous costumes. Though those costumes, and many like them, have been com mon on Halloween, people have

increasingly called them out as cultural appropriation.

Syracuse University’s Office of Student Living hosted “My Culture is not Your Costume” Tuesday, which focused on cultural appropriation during Halloween. Graduate students

Emma McAnirlin, Uma Tiwari and Melisa Larranaga hosted the

event at Schine Student Center and discussed various types and examples of cultural appropria tion as well as how to combat it, especially around Halloween.

“A lot of the time, choices and decisions (to culturally appropriate) are made out of ignorance, not to intentionally be insensitive,” said Dr. Rock

ell Brown Burton, an associate dean of inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility at the Newhouse School of Public Communications. “It’s a very healthy and very good thing to have these conversations.”

The hosts explained that Hal loween costumes are a form of cultural exploitation, one of the

four types of cultural appropria tion. The others include cultural exchange, cultural dominance and transculturation.

Tiwari explained a few examples of cultural appropria tion on TikTok, including the ‘spa water’ trend, which many people critiqued as an appro see costume

‘Midnights’ addresses maturity, growth

By Sam Rivo music columnist

Since the release of her debut album in 2006, Taylor Swift has revolutionized the music industry and pushed herself as an artist to continuously reinvent her sound. Swift is the only artist to win Album of the Year three times at the Grammy Awards. And she did so with three albums each in a different genre — country, pop and alternative.

But Swift didn’t change her tried and true writing process or experiment with new genres in her 10th studio album, “Mid nights.” Instead, she entered into a new, more mature phase, which is reflected in her narrative style.

Swift described “Midnights” as a compila tion of 13 sleepless nights throughout her life, each marked by their own emotional turmoil. Each track examines different places Swift has found herself in, from self-loathing and insecurity, to raw regret and the emotional journey of falling in love and heartbreak. And throughout it all, Swift maintains her lyri cism, storytelling and sound in a matured, pensive manner.

But after setting the bar so high with previous albums such as “1989,” “Red” and “Lover,” “Midnights” fails to deliver ground breaking content. Without much reinven tion, it just reminds you of other Taylor Swift albums you’d rather listen to. Compared to other giants in Swift’s discography, “Mid nights” falls in the middle of the road, neither excelling nor falling short.

The themes in “Midnights” are great — Swift reflects on her self-loathing, revenge and relationships. The hooks are

strong and the writing is still top notch. But the songs don’t stay vivid in your brain. That said, maybe that’s the point of the album — the painful thoughts you have at midnight don’t stay with you after you fall asleep.

Swift curses in several songs on “Mid nights,” which is a noticeable shift. Though it brings levity to tracks like “Snow on the Beach” and “Maroon,” hearing Swift curse is like hearing your fourth grade teacher curse.

“Lavender Haze” is one of her best open ing songs to an album. It represents the feel ing of being in a euphoric love, presumably about her long term boyfriend Joe Alwyn,

who co-wrote “Sweet Nothing” with Swift. In addition to reflecting on her current, success ful relationship, Swift looks back on failed relationships and the emotional turmoil associated with them in songs “Maroon” and ‘Midnight Rain.”

Another memorable track, “You’re on Your Own Kid,” examines the poignant pursuit of affection and love from herself and others. Swift describes how she made self-love an unattainable goal by constantly finding fault with who she was and how she looked, even alluding to disordered eating. In the lyrics “I hosted parties and starved

‘Black Adam’ is a fun but shallow watch

By Nate Lechner screentime columnist

It’s no secret that some of the most popular and successful films of all time are super hero movies. It’s also no secret that one of the most popular actors on the planet is Dwayne Johnson. So when the two Hol lywood juggernauts joined forces for DC’s “Black Adam,” audiences were excited.

One of the main reasons for the hype sur rounding this film was its star. Johnson has wanted to make this for a long time — he was originally cast in the role of Black Adam in November of 2007. But script rewrites and production delays led to Johnson and Black Adam to be left out of the movie — 2019’s Shazam! — altogether.

It was not until November 2019 that John son was able to officially confirm that Black Adam would be a solo film and that they’d be able to begin filming. There was plenty of anticipation, with Johnson himself calling it the most important movie of his career. After all of the hype and intense market

ing that Johnson did for the film, it is not surprising that “Black Adam” ends up being a perfect analogy for his acting career thus far — fun at times, but dull and lacking emotion.

In the film, Johnson plays Teth-Adam, the savior of the fictional Middle Eastern country of Khandaq. Adam was once a great

champion in ancient Khandaq, but had been locked in a mountain for thousands of years while his country was taken over by authoritarian regimes and gangs.

It’s not until he’s awoken by an archaeolo gist, played by Sarah Shahi, that Teth-Adam returns to save Khandaq. At first, it seems like Adam is the hero that Khandaq needs, as he quickly dispatches the gang members and gains tremendous support from the people of Khandaq. But it becomes clear that Adam is too powerful to remain unchecked.

To combat him, Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), the director of the Advanced Research Group Uniting Superheroes (ARGUS), puts together a superhero team known as the Justice Society of America to travel to Khandaq and fight Adam. The team features Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Dr. Fate (Pierce Brosnan), Cyclone (Quintessa Swin dell) and Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo).

After a few fights between Adam and the Justice Society, Adam realizes that he truly is too powerful and sacrifices his powers to pro

media have introduced the holiday into American cul ture. These movies can help characterize the message of the holiday to people who may not be famil iar with it, she said.

“With the movie ‘Coco,’ … I love the theory that you only die when you’re not remembered anymore,” Koseki said. “I think it’s the most beautiful thing that you can experience, (and) remember with joy, the people that passed away and celebrate them.”

More celebrations of Día de los Muer tos will take place on campus this semester thanks to the newly formed Mexican Stu dent Association.

At MEXSA’s celebration, students can cre ate a custom frame for photos of lost loved ones and participate in an open mic to share stories about relatives who have passed on. The club will also show “Coco” to end the night.

Bringing Día de los Muertos to Syra cuse has been particularly special for Sophomore Ivonne Ortega, the president

of MEXSA. Back home in Los Angeles, she celebrates the holiday with her family by building an altar for her family members that have died.

As a freshman last year, Ortega set up her own altar in her dorm to com memorate her two dogs who passed away. She said she decorated the altar with dog treats, a candle, flowers and sugar skulls to honor her pets and keep her tradition of celebrating alive. Though she was glad to celebrate on her own last year, Ortega said she’s even more excited to celebrate Día de los Muertos with MEXSA.

“Last year’s celebration was me and my dorm,” Ortega said. “But now that there’s a group for Mexican students, I’m just way more excited to celebrate it and be able to share this culture, not just with the Mexican students here on campus, but with everybody.”

The Spanish department is also host ing a Día de los Muertos celebration. Sophomore Adam Baltaxe, the president of Las Naranjas, SU’s Spanish language and culture club, has been working with members of the department to plan this

year’s event. The celebration will include an ofrenda, Mexican music, candy and many opportunities for students to embrace the holiday and Mexican cul ture, he said.

“Celebrating the dead, making them want to come back and stay with you as a spirit — I think it’s a beautiful way to kind of look at your past loved ones in a better light,” Baltaxe said.

Sophomore Amy Peña also said she loves the ability to reconnect with her deceased relatives during Día de los Muertos, and view death with a sense of comfort and clo sure. She’s celebrated the holiday with her family in Texas, but she said she’s excited to attend the MEXSA celebration of Día de los Muertos this year and maintain the tradi tion of remembering her great grandma.

Día de los Muertos ultimately is a spe cial holiday because of how it brings peo ple together, both living and dead, Ortega said. Even though she can’t participate in her traditions with her family back home, she’s looking forward to the one’s she’ll have with MEXSA.

He originally learned about Día de los Muertos from peers he met in middle and high school. Baltaxe said he is excited for other students to take on a different, more positive perspective about death.

“We remember our loved ones, but also I think it’s a time to appreciate those who we still have with us,” Ortega said. “That’s why Día de los Muertos is a big thing for me.”

costumepriation of the Latin American beverage, agua fresca. The ‘sticky bangs’ trend is an appropriation of the tradition ally Black and brown hairstyle of laying edges, she said.

The presenters also outlined the dif ference between cultural appropriation and appreciation. McAnirlin explained that cultural appreciation occurs when someone invites another person to take part in their culture with celebration and respect. Cultural appropriation, on the other hand, involves stealing and misrep resenting a historically underprivileged group’s culture.

“Spreading awareness is really important, especially on a college campus,” Larranaga said. “There are not a lot of people who think about the four types [of cultural appropria tion], they assume there is only one type.”

Mueller appreciated the chance to talk openly about cultural appropriation and said this kind of conversation is beneficial for educating others.

“Talks like this help make people aware of what they’re doing wrong,” Mueller said. “By learning this type of content, you can always work to better respect people at all times.”

The event’s hosts also suggested various resources on campus, including the Inter cultural Collective (ICC), Office of Multi cultural Affairs, Disability Cultural Center, Office of Diversity and Inclusion and Native Student Program to learn more about how to approach Halloween in a respectful manner.

tect others. That is, until a new threat emerges and tries to destroy Khandaq, forcing Adam to come back, defeat him and officially claim his place as the all-powerful Black Adam.

While the overall plot of the movie is con fusing, there are a lot of fun action scenes that keep the audience engaged. It’s made clear in multiple instances throughout the film that Black Adam has no moral code and will do whatever it takes to defeat his enemies. This lack of morality leads to some brutal

yet entertaining action sequences, including a slow-motion fight where Black Adam easily dispatches a group of gang members. John son may not be the best dramatic actor, but he is always reliable for action scenes.

That last sentence is pretty much an encap sulation for the movie in general. The action sequences are fun, but there’s a lack of any real emotional journey for any of the characters. The only main character who has any real arc throughout the film is Dr. Fate, with Brosnan perfectly displaying the wisdom and experi ence that the character has in the comics.

Johnson, Hodge and Centineo specifi

cally give dull performances that seem to put more emphasis on the actor’s physical appearances than their abilities as actors. Those three are all strong in fight scenes, but when there are real conversations to be had, everything seems dull, making it hard to believe that anything said is genuine.

What makes some of the best super hero movies is a clear and consistent tone between all of the characters no matter what is going on in the story. There are instances throughout “Black Adam” where it seems the characters are acting in different movies with different tones.

To its credit, “Black Adam” never tries to be more than what it is at its core: an action movie. My favorite parts of the movie come when Johnson and Hodge fight, whether it really makes sense for the plot or not.

At the end of the day, “Black Adam” is a great movie to watch mindlessly at the movie theater and gives the audi ence enough entertainment to keep them engaged. Throughout the highs and lows, Johnson’s ability to captivate an audience simply through his presence makes a movie even as messy as “Black Adam” watchable. nathan.lechner@gmail.com

SU should advocate more for reproductive rights post Roe

By Hannah Karlin columnist

On June 24th, 2022, Roe v. Wade was overturned and a fundamental right was stolen from the Ameri can people. After such a significant event, one may assume that universities would strengthen accessibility to resources and support for students. But Syracuse Univer sity has not taken the initiative.

SU has not done much for reproductive rights since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Now more than ever, SU should advocate for reproductive rights. While there are organi zations such as Students Advocating Sexual Safety and Empowerment (ASSE) on cam pus, SU needs to think about the resources it can provide.

Students should feel comfortable with their reproductive resources on campus. While New York remains unaffected by the law after codifying the right to an abortion, students from across the nation attend SU. These students need to feel a sense of safety in SU’s reproductive care that they can’t attain in their home states.

Women ages 18-24 are put at higher risk of sexual violence, which is the typical age of college students. More specifically, college women aged 18-24 are three times more likely to be a victim of sexual violence com pared to all women. Given this, the absence of Roe v. Wade disproportionately affects college students. Sexual violence can lead to unplanned pregnancies. SU needs to recognize the fact that their students are especially vulnerable to unplanned preg nancies. The university has a responsibility to make its students feel safe, and students should not have to bear the burden of figur ing out how to get an abortion, if they so choose, without the support of their college or university.

Vera House is a great resource for SU students and the SU community as a local non-profit that deals with sexual assault and domestic violence. While this is a resource that SU pairs with, as many uni

versities do, it is not enough. Addition ally, its recent hire of a registered sex offender diminished the credibility for many students. SU students need to feel an ample support system on campus and from the administration.

There are ways to provide reproductive health resources on campus that SU has not been working towards. For example, The Barnes Center at the Arch can provide free emergency contraceptives. Though Barnes offers them, and they’re typically covered by insurance, the high price may still pose a barrier for students. The University of Kentucky offers discounted contraceptives and Plan B for all their students without prescriptions — why can’t SU do the same?

A concerning aspect is the lack of con versation and attention. Conversation is the catalyst of change. It is needed to

spark campus-wide momentum. How ever, SU is not providing the efforts to create such conversation.

If SU wants its students to feel supported, they need to destigmatize the topic and get people talking. School pride isn’t just wear ing blue and orange — it’s making everyone on campus feel represented and supported.

SU should start showing effort by hosting more webinars to discuss the ramifications of abortion bans and what administration can do to support the student body. The university should make it clear that under Title IX, students can be excused for ‘medi cally necessary’ pregnancy-related leaves. This flexibility provides women with the supportive community that they need.

The university should also establish an emergency medical fund for students who need to travel for reproductive healthcare,

such as abortion. There needs to be a fund separate from SU’s Student Opportunity Fund, in which students can only apply to once a year for a maximum of $500. Although this fund can be used for emer gency health care and emergency travel, SU needs to make a fund soley for abortion access. Other steps can be reforming exclu sionary housing policies for students from states that have strict abortion laws and pro actively making this information available.

SU needs to take these important steps toward reproductive rights progress on campus. While it should have always remained a priority, the reversal of Roe v. Wade further necessitates the urgency.

Syracuse University needs to give its students the resources they deserve to feel supported and safe in this post-Roe v. Wade world. katie mcclellan staff writer

media representative Tracey Edson stayed in a hostel with three other volunteers from the International Volunteer Headquarters’ (IVHQ) Argentina program. The IVHq also organized schools in Argentina for Thompson to work with and facilitated the relationship between her and any Spanish-speaking entities.

“You get to know the other people in the hostel pretty well and it’s exciting to be able to share your experience with them,” Thompson said. “[You’re] surrounded by people with the same hopes.”

The hostel was in a middle-class neighborhood, but the schools were not. It took an hour-long bus ride plus a 15-minute walk because there weren’t paved roads that got any closer to the schools.

Though the IVHQ planned her schedule and helped translate, Thompson created the initiative on her own. She made the website, the T-shirts and the drive for equipment. Edson said she simply took photos and helped Thompson with ideas.

For most lessons, they taught the kids

substitutions

substitutions and depth to help the team score. Through 14 games, SU has averaged more goals per game, more shots per game and more shots on goal per game than in 2021.

The Orange’s o ense has improved through experienced players from the attack and midfield. SU head coach Ian McIntyre constantly rotates players, even against top ranked opponents. While many forwards are having less minutes, they open the door for midfielders like Camden Holbrook to get game time.

“The strength of our team (is) the ability for us to make some changes and the standard not to drop,” McIntyre said.

On average, SU makes 10 substitutions in the second half. Each player is allowed one re-entry, which must occur in the second half of the match, per NCAA rules.

Backup forwards Julius Rauch and Francesco Pagano have seen a drop in their minutes when compared to 2021, but they’re still a part of the rotation. McIntyre has even said he believes Rauch would start if he was on another team.

In top-5 matchups like against Wake Forest, Rauch got playing time, getting into tight battles and close collisions with the Demon Deacons’ keeper. Rauch said over the o season he tried to improve holding onto the ball because of the physicality up front. McIntyre said the Orange have “four great attackers” and showed his desire to make rotations throughout the lineup.

In the 65th minute of SU’s opener against Iona, forward Nathan Opoku was swapped out for Rauch, who stayed in for the rest of the match. Three minutes later, two Orange midfielders got possession back in Gael territory and the ball bounced to Amferny Sinclair. Sinclair sent a pass toward the box and Rauch quick-stepped past his defender and scored with a shot in the bottom right corner, con-

di erent techniques like dribbling, passing, shooting and celebrating through drills. Then, the kids got to scrimmage at the end. Thompson said it was gratifying to see the progress the kids made.

“Their reactions when they saw their fi rst ball or when they fi nally learned how to hold their stick properly or stick handle, you could see them progress every time we played,” Thompson said. “By the end, the actual scrimmaging was a lot better than the fi rst time I handed them the stick.”

Thompson said seeing each kid score their first goal was one of the most rewarding moments.

“Their faces just lit up and then they did the celebration that they see other athletes do in the sports they watch,” Thompson said.

Because of the language barrier, reading body language was part of how the group communicated. They also used Google Translate, and the kids loved it since they had never seen a tool like it before, Thompson said.

Jennifer Albanese, Thompson’s mentor in Cuse W — a program that helps female athletes at SU — worked with her to navigate the project. Albanese said Thompson did all

tributing to the Orange’s 2-0 win.

“(McIntyre) trusts more guys, he sees what you do in practice,” Rauch said.

Holbrook has also been getting more attention from the coaching sta . On Sept. 13, McIntyre called Holbrook an “experienced guy,” and someone that could provide balance and find open spaces during games. In 2021, Holbrook averaged 20 minutes per match, but this year, he’s averaging 34 minutes per game. He’s played significant time against ranked opponents, with 43 minutes and 31 minutes against then-No. 22 Notre Dame and then-No. 4 Wake Forest, respectively.

Throughout high school and his fi rst season at Syracuse in 2020, Holbrook never played midfield, instead playing as a center forward or a left winger. When Holbrook switched in 2021, he needed time to acclimate to the midfield position.

“Last season the depth was still there. It’s just, we didn’t know each other as well,” Colin Biros said.

In spring of 2022, Holbrook used training sessions to become more comfortable in the midfield. He knows he won’t get the starting left midfield spot over Giona Leibold, but said he still wanted to turn the ball over less. Biros said he could see Holbrook was improving and building confidence from his new position.

Holbrook worked to improve his crossing ability too. He said he was known for that when playing the left winger role.

Once he’s running down the midfield and sending a cross, Holbrook said he wants to put the ball in the same exact spot. Against Virginia Tech on Sept. 30, Holbrook did that.

Curt Calov fought two Hokie defenders at the center of the pitch for possession. Simultaneously, Holbrook moved up from the center line to prepare for a pass. Once Calov sent a lob pass down the left side of the pitch, the ball bounced toward the corner of the penalty box. Holbrook caught up to it and crossed to Opoku, who scored with his right foot to cement the 3-0 final score for then-No. 7 Syracuse.

of the heavy lifting.

“I think she is just a unique, special person,” Albanese said. “She has some really great ambitions and goals in life and a lot of it is about giving back.”

On the last day, all 30 kids rushed Thompson and “nearly took me down,” she said. Now, the kids actually knew how to use

worked as the nexus for a network of col lectors by creating “The American Card Catalog.” Today, almost a million Ameri cans still collect and trade baseball cards at conventions, which routinely happen in his hometown.

“He was kind of a visionary in that he thought this might be important when very few people thought there would be a reason to hold onto any trading cards,” said Dave Jamieson, author of Mint Con dition: How Baseball Cards Became an American Obsession.

A. Hyatt Mayor, the 1947 curator of The Met, told Burdick to look someplace else for his collection. He didn’t understand it. It wasn’t the type of thing the museum col lected, said Allison Rudnick, the current museum curator.

Burdick visited other institutions in New York City, but they all rejected his offer. He returned to Mayor, who final ly agreed to take in the collection, one Burdick had been putting together since he was a kid. Jamieson said Mayor and Burdick were a perfect match while other curators “sniffed at the idea.”

Mayor wrote in the original directory for the J.R. Burdick Collection that Burdick brought his “little art nouveau oak desk” from Upstate New York and settled in the only available corner in the drawings and prints department to sort through his cards. Burdick created over 600 albums, matching cards based on the time period. The earliest cards were from the 1880s, but he added to the collection with cards from the 1950s and 1960s.

Rudnick said viewers often ask why base ball cards belong in an art museum. Burdick wrote the role of a museum is to “answer most questions and satisfy practically every one who wishes to learn more about any particular field.” He knew the cards were not just a reflection of the sport’s history, but of the culture at the time. He liked imagining the time they were created and the people who created them, Jamieson said.

Baseball cards weren’t “standardized” until the late 1960s, when companies like Topps took over the industry and began making every one look the same. Cigarette or gun companies originally used baseball cards as advertisements to target the youth. Many of these cards littered Burdick’s collection.

The T-206 Honus Wagner baseball card is one of the most famous baseball cards, recently selling for $7.25 million. It was a part of the White Borders series by the Sweet Caporal cigarette brand. Rudnick said visitors like to see other examples of that, such as the “Green Bor ders” piece, which showcases 30 cards from Red Sun cigarettes.

Baseball cards at their core are com mercial lithographs, a meticulous printing form that marries illustration, typography and text together. Five cards from the same year would be completely

different in size, format and printing, Rudnick said.

The earliest cards in the present dis play start in 1888 with “World’s Cham pions, Second Series” and “Old Judge Cigarettes Cabinet Cards.” The former displays illustrations of six players — four of them reified with thick, dark mus taches — superimposed onto drawings of random images like three baseball bats forming a teepee. The latter shows actual photographs of four players — all with real mustaches — with two looking straight at the camera.

“This is just photography in a different kind of form,” said Bob Jenkins, who came to view the collection last week.

The illustrations were based on photo graphs of the players, Rudnick said. They matched some of the popular illustra tions at the time, like a DiMaggio card that looks similar to a Bazooka Joe comic. Other cards look like Andy Warhol prints, Rudnick said.

The “Big League (R324)” display has cards of Jim Tobbin, Chester Ross, George Coffman and Mel Ott from the Goudey Gum Company, matching the bright colors of a Warhol piece. They all have black-and-white photos of the play ers plastered onto neon pink, green, yel low and blue backgrounds. There’s no blue Chester Ross card.

“It’s not like he was trying to get every single card in the set, he wanted to get representative examples of stuff that was created,” Jamieson said.

Under fluorescent lights in the East Syracuse Ramada, collectors at this year’s Syracuse Sports Card and Memorabilia Show held briefcases filled with their best cards. They’re familiar with Burdick’s cards displayed 250 miles southeast. Table hosts had the same glass encasing covering their most valuable cards.

Scott Trudell, the owner of Glimpse of the Past, had his favorite card, the T-206 Ty Cobb Baseball card, blown up into a poster behind his table. The same picture

was printed on his business card.

Trudell began collecting at 16, when a Cobb card cost 60 bucks. His father didn’t let him buy it, but the trip “lit a fire” under him, indulging himself into the hobby and starting with cards from the 1880s.

“Those are the cornerstones of the hobby. It’s cards like that which drive vintage collecting,” Trudell said about the vintage cards.

Trudell and the table hosts at the event remembered when they bought cards for a quarter a pack, putting them in the spokes of their bicycle to hear the rattling on the way back home. Now they’re worried about the smallest tear decreasing the value of their card, said Rick Boyle, the owner of RMB Sports Cards and Collectibles.

more,” table host John Decker said.

Since the 1970s, most cards became action photos of a player pitching, fielding or batting, Stark said. But collectors are still interested because of the player’s sig natures stamped on them or the variety of unique “errors.”

Boyle held up two versions of a Bill Rip ken card. One had a black tape over his bat. The other revealed what was written under neath: F*ckface.

In the middle of the Syracuse Sports Card and Memorabilia Show, a little kid yelled “dad,” pointing at cards just inches below his head. Some of the attendees at the show were well in their 80s, but the youth have kept the tradition alive, Decker said.

“This is a generational hobby,” Trudell said. “I’ve seen many families come in and grandfathers and their sons.”

Burdick didn’t put energy into making a home and bringing up a family because of his illness, Mayor wrote. He instead studied the cards, editing the Card Collector’s Bulletin and writing a series of books on the subject. As he finished the collection, he used corti sone to treat his rheumatoid arthritis. Two months later on March 13, 1963, he passed away from the illness.

“You look back and think ‘wow how many cards were worth so much money that I destroyed as a kid,’” Boyle said.

Card events are their own economy, Trudell said. Experienced collectors arrive with specific cards in mind they wanted to buy or trade for. Some collectors looked for Josh Allen at the central New York show. Others searched for Aaron Judge. Boyle said he expected an influx in interest of his over 500 Judge cards after he broke Roger Maris’ single-season home run record.

The ones in Burdick’s collection still pick up interest from die-hard fans. The illustra tions on the older cards add value, Trudell said. The sketches themselves make the cards “one-of-one,” Boyle added.

“You don’t see a lot of the art work any

“On the 10th of January 1963, he told us at five o’clock that he had mounted his last card,” Mayor wrote in the directory. “As he twisted himself into his overcoat he seemed suddenly tired. When he (bid) us goodbye, he added ‘I shan’t be back.’”

Burdick didn’t care about the cards’ monetary value. He glued the backs of cards onto albums, something that would be taboo today as each baseball card has plastic coverings to preserve the material. He worried about inflation making baseball cards too expensive for people to buy the cards they wanted. So he gave his collection to the Met for free.

“He died not a wealthy man with one of the best card collections in the world,” Jamieson said.

The “World’s Champions, Second Series” is one of the first pieces in the exhibit at the MET. The two cyclists are not featured in the actual exhibit. meghan hendricks photo editor

BASEBALL AS ART

Burdick’s baseball card collection has been in the MET for roughly 60 years

By Anish Vasudevan sports editor

In The Metropolitan Museum of Art, past a towering Spanish choir screen from the Valladolid cathedral and a Bronze sculpture of Diana, up one floor, accessible by an entirely glass elevator, sits the Mezzanine level of the American wing. Buried deep beyond paintings, vases, furniture and the rest of the 10,000 works of art is a collection of pieces that could fit in the palm of your hand — baseball cards.

The exhibit takes up three sides of a wall with 11 framed pieces featuring players like Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth and Stan Musial. At the beginning is a single sign explaining the importance of Syracuse native Jefferson R. Burdick, the man behind the cards.

Burdick knew his cards deserved a place next to Leonardo Da Vinci drawings, and for almost 60 years, they’ve lived at The Met. After a career as an engineer at the Crouse-Hinds Company, Burdick, originally from Central Square, New York, spent 15 years donating roughly 300,000 baseball cards, postcards and other ephemera to the museum until his death in 1963.

Thompson’s Sticks Together helps youth play hockey

By Wyatt Miller asst. copy editor

In Buenos Aires, Argentina, a bar rage of exuberant kids swarmed Syracuse’s Sarah Thompson for her massive bags full of hockey gear. They screamed “hockey, hockey” with the little English they knew, ripping through the bags. They grabbed sticks and pads that were clearly the wrong size. One girl des

perately wanted to have the pink stick. It was mayhem, but in a good way, Thompson said.

“You’d think that I’d be able to keep them all in line, but they just darted after the sticks,” Thomp son said. “To hold the stick and just to try something new was pretty exciting for them. I think that was pretty exciting for me to just see the joy in their faces.”

Through her Sticks Together

project and with gear she donated to the Amarilla and Caacupé schools, Thompson taught under privileged kids hockey for three weeks from May to June in Buenos Aires. In a partnership with Play It Again Sports (PIAS) in Ottawa, people donated children’s hockey gear including goalie equipment, balls and cones for the trip.

SU’s depth allows helpful rotations

By Henry O’Brien asst. sports editor

Prior to Syracuse’s game against Bucknell, Jeorgio Kocevski entered SU Soccer Stadium as a spectator, not a player. He received a suspension for a red card in the Orange’s previous match against then-No. 11 Louisville.

Jackson Glenn got his first start of the season with lineup

changes. During Glenn’s intro duction, Kocevski yelled, “Let’s go kid!” Glenn sent a deep pass that went over the Bucknell backline for Levonte Johnson. With the goalkeeper drawn away from the net, Johnson chipped the ball over the keeper and quickly gave the Orange a lead.
