Centro won’t enforce social distancing, masks on buses Students voice concerns about overcrowded buses on campus commutes

By Maggie Hicks asst. news editor

ordiana Cozier expected strong social distancing protocols when she came to Syracuse University. But when she boarded the bus to Main Campus from her South Campus apartment, that wasn’t what she found.

Cozier, who has asthma and is immunocompromised, has felt unsafe traveling to and from campus, especially at busy times, when buses are full and social distancing is difficult.

“The bus has no type of restrictions,” said Cozier, a sophomore chemistry major. “It’s so unsafe.

It’s already unsafe to be on public transportation, but if you’re sitting that close to someone in such a small space, you’re not six feet apart.”

SU officials have said that campus transportation would include social distancing protocols during the fall semester. But several students who travel to and from campus by bus told The Daily Orange they’ve faced minimal enforcement of public health guidelines and overcrowded buses.

The university, which resumed in-person classes Aug. 24, partners with Centro Bus Services to transport students between Main and South campus, as well as to other off-campus neighborhoods.

Maintaining social distancing and mask-wearing on Centro buses is primarily the responsibility of passengers, said Steven Koegel, vice president of communications and business planning at the company. Centro won’t deny service to passengers

who aren’t wearing masks, he said.

“It really comes down to personal responsibility,” Koegel said. “Mask enforcement is a very difficult and tricky procedure. We want to make sure

everyone has a mask on, however, we can not deny somebody service if they are not wearing a mask.”

Centro has implemented several protocols to

Alpha Chi Rho no longer suspended, now on probation

By Chris Hippensteel news editor

The national organization of Alpha Chi Rho filed an lawsuit against SU in June asking the Onondaga County Supreme Court to reverse Crow’s suspension. corey henry photo editor

Syracuse University’s chapter of the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity is no longer suspended but is now on probation, an SU official said Saturday.

SU suspended its chapter of Alpha Chi Rho, known as Crow, in November after the university alleged members and guests shouted a racist slur at a Black woman near College Place. Chancellor Kent Syverud later said the university placed four members of the fraternity on interim suspension for their involvement in the incident.

The national organization of Alpha Chi Rho filed an ongoing lawsuit against SU in June asking the Onondaga County Supreme Court to reverse Crow’s suspension. The university has now lifted that suspension, although Crow remains on probation as it seeks to expand within the Interfraternity Council,

said Sarah Scalese, senior associate vice president for communications, in a statement to The Daily Orange.

“Since Alpha Chi Rho is currently participating in IFC expansion, they have been placed on probationary status by the council,” Scaelse said.

“This chapter status and conditions associated are set by the IFC in accordance with their bylaws.”

The University Conduct Board found on Dec. 19 that the four members of Crow who had been suspended were not responsible for violating the Code of Student Conduct, letters sent to the students show. Despite this, disciplinary proceedings continued against the fraternity as a whole.

The conduct board in late January found Crow responsible for violating SU’s conduct code and suspended the fraternity for a year. The conduct board was unable to determine what was said to the woman see crow page 4

Hill residents ask for student cooperation SA to offer test prep program in the spring

By Kailey Norusis

contributing writer

Under SU’s guidelines, students must limit social gatherings to under 25 people and wear a mask at all times, among other requirements.

SU has said it would work with landlords to promote the guidelines. elizabeth billman senior staff photographer

By Mira Berenbaum asst. copy editor

Jeff Fuchs, a resident of the University Neighborhood, knows the coronavirus would cause more severe complications for him than it would for his younger neighbors.

Fuchs, who is over 70 years old, lives alongside Syracuse University students in the neighborhood adjacent to campus. As someone who is more susceptible to the virus, he’s observed students residing in the area gathering in large groups and violating social distancing guidelines, he said.

“There are a lot of students who

are good and friendly and responsible and good neighbors,” Fuchs said.

“And there are plenty of students who are the exact opposite.”

Fuchs is one of several residents of the University Neighborhood who isn’t a student but whose health and safety is closely tied to that of SU’s campus. While SU has yet to see a large spike in COVID-19 cases among students, some residents in the surrounding neighborhood worry about the consequences for themselves and their families when students violate social distancing guidelines.

“We’ve been pretty impressed with what the university is doing

for the students on campus,” said Mike Stanton, president of the Southeast University Neighborhood Association. “The real risk is what happens with the students who live off campus and go to events off campus.”

Fuchs has seen the neighborhood “somewhat calm down” since the beginning of the semester. He believes this is partially due to the colder weather and because some neighborhood residents complained to the university about students misbehaving.

At the beginning of the semester, SU was unresponsive when local residents reported social distancing

violations, Fuchs said.

“We finally got the ear of the university and they’ve finally started to pay attention to the neighborhood a little bit,” Fuchs said. “There are still houses that are not cooperating, but they are less repulsive than they were before.”

Jane Hudson, another resident of the University Neighborhood, said that when she called the Department of Public Safety to report a social distancing violation, she was told the department was responding to five calls ahead of hers. The students dispersed before DPS arrived, she said.

260 students earn Forever Orange scholarships

By Sarah Alessandrini asst. news editor

SU created the scholarships,to allow 2020 SU graduates to continue their education during the pandemic emily steinberger photo editor

Syracuse University awarded nearly 260 scholarships to undergraduate students from the Class of 2020 who enrolled in graduate programs this year.

SU announced the launch of the Forever Orange scholarships last April. SU created the scholarships, which cover half of the tuition for select programs, to allow 2020 SU graduates to continue their education rather than enter the job market during the pandemic, said Peter Vanable, dean of SU’s Graduate School, in a statement to The Daily Orange.

“Graduating seniors from the class of 2020 faced a very challenging spring semester, having to complete school from home and forgo graduation because of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Vanable said. “We created the Forever Orange Scholarship program to help our graduates to gain valuable

new credentials at a time when they faced a global shut down and an uncertain job market.”

Students can’t combine Forever Orange scholarships with other funding awards, such as assistantships or fellowships, Vanable said.

Vanable said he was pleased with the number of students that the scholarship program attracted and that many graduating seniors chose to remain at SU to pursue another degree.

SU funded the scholarships with the help of donors through its $1.5 billion Forever Orange capital campaign. The campaign aims to increase the university’s endowment through private donations.

W hen Liv Pianese heard about the Forever Orange Scholarships, she was already considering both law school and a master’s in public administration. Receiving the scholarship helped to solidify her decision,

Syracuse University’s Student Association is organizing a program to help prepare students for entrance exams.

Students often must take the Graduate Record Examination, or GRE, when applying to graduate schools.

SA’s program will take place in the spring and include a 10-week course that trained doctoral students will lead, said Louisa Mancuso, co-chair of SA’s Academic Affairs Committee.

“The GRE prep program is aimed to support students preparing for the GRE,” said SA President Justine Hastings. “It is the perfect resource for students to get a better understanding of each section and learn test tips and tricks.”

The interactive program will include an online portal where students can take practice tests and answer questions. While SA has not yet determined the fee to participate in the program, it cost $50 per student in past years, Mancuso said.

“The goal of our course is to not be a textbook,” Mancuso said. “We don’t want people to be paying for something that they can have in a book. It’s going to be a more interactive course, and we plan to get the lesson plans based on the current sections of the exam.”

SA implemented the test preparation program last year specifically for the GRE test, Mancuso said. After last year’s success, SA is looking to expand the program to provide preparation for the Medical College Admission Test and Law School Admission Test as well, she said.

The association wants to make its preparation programs for the medical college and law school admission tests more inclusive and accessible than other options that exist for students at SU, Mancuso said.

While SU does have other programs to help prospective graduate students prepare for application season, the university doesn’t offer any specific GRE test preparation programs, Hastings said. SA hopes to provide a more interactive experience where students can speak with people who have taken and survived the same tests, Mancuso said.

“We noticed a gap in advising, where students use an online video course or pick up that overwhelming, large book,” Mancuso said. “I’m hoping we can be a resource for students to want to take a course to help their future because a lot of advising works through undergraduate plans and how to finish school.”

Students will be able to sign up for the GRE program through Handshake after SA finalizes its plans, Mancuso said. SA anticipates that students will take the test at some point during the 10-week course, so it won’t focus on one specific test date, she said.

While planning for the program remains in the early stages, a proposal will come before SA during an Assembly meeting in the next few weeks, she said.

“GRE test prep can be costly,” Hastings said. “It’s important that students have access to this helpful and free resource.” kmnorusi@syr.edu

buses reduce the risk of passengers contracting coronavirus on its buses, Koegel said.

The company has started disinfecting its buses daily and has installed plexiglass panels between the driver and passengers.

Announcements over the buses’ speakers remind passengers to follow health and safety protocols.

But leaving social distancing to passengers has made the buses unsafe, SU students living on South Campus said. Buses traveling to and from campus look nearly the same as they did before the pandemic, several students said.

Cozier has seen passengers sitting or standing too close together, and the design of the buses often doesn’t allow for students to stand six feet apart, she said.

Bryan Fletcher, a sophomore newspaper and online journalism major who lives on South Campus, said it doesn’t seem like SU has prioritized safety on buses like they have on campus.

“I wish they thought of it as more of an issue,” Fletcher said. “A lot of people live on South Campus, and it basically affects anybody who has to go to Main Campus.”

Centro encourages students to make the best decisions for their health and safety, Koegel said. If students are not comfortable getting on a particular bus because there are too many people on board, they can take the next bus.

But for several students, university transportation is their only way of getting to and from Main Campus. They’re often left with no other choice than to risk being on a crowded bus, they said.

“I don’t feel safe, but how else are you supposed to get to campus?” said Lilly Kreidler, a sophomore who lives on South Campus and studies inclusive elementary and special education. “There’s not really another option.”

I don’t feel safe but how else are you supposed to get to campus? There’s not really another option.

Lilly Kreidler student who lives on south campus

Kreidler has seen many Centro bus passengers wearing masks incorrectly. She had to sit next to a person who was wearing a mask below their nose rather than covering their nose and mouth, she said.

The buses also don’t have the same amount of social distancing signage that many other spaces on campus have, Kreidler said.

SU announced in August that it had reduced the capacity of its buses and trolleys to 50% to ensure social distancing is possible. The university has also added buses to some routes during peak times, according to an SU News release.

“At this time, there are risks associated with any form of public transportation or indoor space,” said Jennifer Horvath, the communications director for SU’s Business, Finance and Administrative Services. “(But) the university and Centro have implemented best practices for public safety.”

Students should try not to plan on taking the latest bus possible in case they have to wait for the next one to avoid overcrowding, Koegel said. Centro has several supervisors on SU’s campus who can address social distancing violations if they arise, he said.

“If you wait for the last bus before you have to be somewhere, you kind of have to get on that last bus or you’re going to be late,” Koegel said. “We feel students need to do what’s in their best interest for their personal safety.”

To make buses safer for everyone, Centro and the university should do a better job regulating how many people board the buses and should enforce social distancing guidelines inside, students said.

“I want to be able to go to and from campus safely and easily,” Cozier said. “I don’t know how to make it so you cap the amount of students who get on the bus, but there

SPD to end ShotSpotter detection system

Like Syracuse, other police departments have terminated their use of the ShotSpotter gunshot detection program due to budget cuts. wiley chen contributing photographer

By Gillian Follett staff writer

The Syracuse Police Department will discontinue its use of a gunshot detection system in response to recent budget cuts.

SPD rolled out the system, called ShotSpotter, in October 2017 to assist with investigations into reports of shots fired in from page 1

The university has said it would work with landlords in off-campus neighborhoods to promote its public health guidelines. Under SU’s guidelines, students must limit social gatherings to under 25 people and wear a mask at all times, among other requirements.

The cooler weather could increase the virus’ transmission if students begin gathering indoors instead of outdoors, Stanton said.

One large indoor gathering with an infected individual in attendance could cause a spike in cases, he said.

SU’s location in Onondaga County gives the university an advantage in preventing virus transmission on and around campus, Stanton said. Onondaga County and the central New York region have reported relatively low COVID-19 positivity rates throughout the summer and into the fall.

“I think one of the saving graces is that Onondaga County has been doing so well and central New York has been doing so well,” Stanton said. “But what worries us is that so

the city, said SPD spokesperson Sgt. Matthew Malinowski. The program utilizes audio sensors around the city that can identify the sound of a gunshot, determine its location and report it to the department, according to the ShotSpotter website.

The ShotSpotter sensors currently cover a few square miles of Syracuse, with the majority located in the Southside neighborhood,

Malinowski said. In the three years since its implementation, the technology has enabled SPD to respond to shooting incidents more effectively, he said.

“It mainly helps a lot with reporting the true number of shots fired calls we get,” he said. “A lot of times, people will hear shots fired, but they don’t call them in.”

SPD decided to end its use of ShotSpotter technology after Mayor Walsh cut $18.1 million from Syracuse’s annual budget due to a sharp reduction in city revenue during the coronavirus pandemic. These cuts reduced SPD’s total funding for the 2021 fiscal year by over $1 million compared to the previous year. The annual fee for Syracuse’s ShotSpotter software is $227,500.

Over 100 cities worldwide utilize ShotSpotter technology, according to the company’s website.

Like Syracuse, other police departments have ended their use of the program due to budget cuts. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office in California discontinued its system in 2019.

The program’s discontinuation in Syracuse comes as the city has seen an uptick in its number of shootings, according to Syracuse. com. As of August, almost 130 people had been shot in Syracuse in 2020 alon.

Despite this, Malinowski does not anticipate the elimination of the ShotSpotter program will contribute to any significant escalation in the number of shootings in the city. The technology is more useful “after the fact” than it is for preventing gun violence, he said.

Malinowski doesn’t know when SPD will completely remove the ShotSpotter system from the city. The department is currently working with the ShotSpotter company to work out payment options for the ending of the program, he said. gifollet@syr.edu

sanctions against Crow. But Dolan Evanovich, SU’s former senior vice president for enrollment and the student experience, announced March 3 that he had rejected the appeals board’s decision and had found the fraternity responsible for violating the conduct code.

In its ongoing lawsuit, Crow has alleged that SU violated its own policies when one official decided to suspend the fraternity in March after the University Appeals Board

had lifted the fraternity’s sanctions two weeks earlier.

The university later claimed that it acted within its own policies in suspending the fraternity, referring to a section of its student conduct system procedures that grants the senior vice president for enrollment and the student experience the authority to alter or overrule the decisions of SU’s conduct or appeals board.

many people will be coming from states that aren’t doing well as the school reopened.”

In compliance with Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s travel advisory, SU required students coming from COVID-19 hotspots to self-quarantine for 14 days before moving in. The order impacted over 3,000 SU students this fall.

Despite his concerns, Stanton said he’s impressed by how SU has handled the restart of in-person classes.

SU required all students to submit a negative COVID-19 test result prior to arriving on campus and has conducted multiple rounds of pooled saliva testing since students arrived.

Some students seem to think their gatherings aren’t dangerous because they’ve tested negative, Hudson said.

“I don’t know why there is this belief that if they get their nose swabbed they’re protected,” she said. “We want people to be safe.”

Hudson would like to see more cooperation among students living in the University Neighborhood when it comes to abiding by social distancing guidelines. Since the start of the semester, she’s opted to go grocery shopping in the suburbs instead of shopping at her local grocery store, which students commonly frequent.

“If you’re old enough to live in the community off campus, you should be old enough to not put your fellow man at risk,” Hudson said. “It is particularly heinous given the pandemic.”

The real risk is what happens with the students who live off campus and go to events off campus Mike Stanton president of the southeast university neighborhood association

A group of students living off-campus who contracted COVID-19 earlier this fall told The Daily Orange they caught the virus from another infected student who did not complete the quarantine requirement before arriving at SU.

scholarship she said.

“It has been extremely helpful for my education,” said Pianese, who decided to pursue a master’s in public administration at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. “I already wanted to stay at Syracuse for my graduate education, as I truly love this university, and the scholarship made my decision final.”

Pianese said SU communicated fre-

quently about the scholarship’s deadlines, and she knew right away when she had received her scholarship.

Nat DiFlorio, who is also pursuing a master of public administration in Maxwell, said she planned on taking a year off after graduation. Her plans changed after she received one of SU’s Forever Orange Scholarships, which allowed her to avoid applying to numerous schools and taking the Graduate Record Exams.

“This scholarship has helped in more

ways than I can imagine,” DiFlorio said.

“Now I’ll be 22 with my masters and my whole life ahead of me.”

To qualify for a Forever Orange scholarship, students had to earn admission to a scholarship-eligible program as full time graduate students starting in the summer or fall, Vanable said.

SU has not decided whether it will continue the scholarship program beyond the Class of 2020, Vanable said. scalessa@syr.edu | @sarahalessan

Smart Money: An intro to investing Professor: Donald Trump is a white supremacist

illustration by sarah allam illustration editor

By Andrea Lan columnist

N

ow that you know how to budget, let’s start growing that extra money you have! Everyone knows the term “investing,” but what does it really mean?

Investing is the act of setting aside resources, usually money, in an effort to generate profit or income, according to Investopedia. For personal finances, I’ll be focusing on the “generating income” part of that definition and on increasing that income section of your budget.

To understand why it’s important to do some form of investing, one must first understand inflation. Inflation is the rise in price levels relative to the amount of goods and services in the economy, and it results in a decrease in the purchasing power of each dollar.

Basically, what you can buy for $20 today will be more than what you can buy for $20 in 10 years. Inflation happens when the economy is growing, and it averages around 1-2% annually.

The Federal Reserve typically targets an inflation rate of 2%. But with its new low-rate strategy, we will likely be seeing lower rates through 2023. So if you’re keeping your money in a checking account or in cash, you’re losing purchasing power — and essentially losing money — over time.

Your money grows through interest, and interest rate is the rate at which your money grows or multiplies. Compound interest is a powerful concept in which your money multiplies as you gain “interest on interest.”

At the end of your investment period, much of your gains will be composed not of your original investment but of compounded interest over the years. Free money!

Sounds good, right?

So, what’s the catch? Risk. The higher the interest rate, the higher the risk. There are a variety of ways to manage and minimize risk, but in short, diversification is key. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Here’s some different “baskets” you can choose from: 1. Bonds: By purchasing a bond, you’re essentially extending a loan to the federal government through treasury bonds or to a company in exchange for a fixed coupon rate, or interest rate.

The riskier the bond, the higher the coupon rate will be, but the chance that you may lose your initial investment if the company goes bankrupt will also be greater. Treasury bonds are essentially risk-free because they’re backed by the federal government. Rates for treasury bonds and bills are typically lower, and they’re great options for someone who is risk-averse and looking for a long-term investment. Bonds have a set lifetime, typically of three, six or 12 months or as long as 10 years.

2 . Stocks: Stocks are investments made through purchasing partial ownership of a publicly traded company. Stocks tend to be riskier because the value of your stock can fluctuate with little predictability. Some stocks can give dividends paid out to you annually. The amount you purchase the stock for will likely not be the amount you sell it for. The goal is to buy low, sell high. The stock market, especially during a pandemic, can be unpredictable, so the risks and returns for stocks are highest of all the listed options. You can keep stocks for as long or as little as you’d like.

3 . Savings account: Savings accounts are possibly the simplest method of investing.

This method involves opening a high-yield savings account at your chosen bank and depositing your desired amount of savings. The difference between a savings account and a checking account is that a high-yield savings account will limit the number of withdrawals permitted per month. For example, American Express limits the accounts to 9 withdrawals per month. This is a great option to place emergency funds.

4. Roth IRA: A Roth IRA is a retirement account that’s most beneficial to young savers. The greatest benefit of a Roth IRA is that your gains are tax-free. The historical interest rate on a Roth IRA is also 7-10%, with very minimal risk. The minor drawbacks to a Roth IRA are that there are only specific scenarios in which you could withdraw your money without penalties, including paying student loans or taking a mortgage. The minimum deposit amount to start a Roth IRA is $1000, and the maximum annual contribution is $6000. If you’re able to, opening a Roth IRA account when you’re young will allow you to reap the full benefits of compounding interest. When accepting a full-time job, take full advantage of employer matching to Roth IRA and 401k accounts.

An SU political science professor argues that President Donald Trump’s policies foment racism. emily steinberger photo editor

By Mark Rupert guest columnist

D

onald Trump’s presidency, the forces that support it and the prospect of his re-election pose a clear and present danger to our democratic republic. Trump’s rhetoric, his politics and his policies are based on the belief that America has been, and should remain, a white man’s country, and that violence and intimidation are legitimate means of keeping it that way.

This racial nationalism was evident from the moment he descended his gilded escalator to announce that the United States is being invaded by Mexican rapists and drug mules, and that the way to “Make America Great Again” was to repel this invasion of dangerous people of color. This despite overwhelming evidence that immigrants are significantly less likely to engage in criminal conduct than native-born Americans.

Trump has repeatedly addressed his rallies with the parable of the snake, in which immigrants are represented as poisonous snakes who are, by their very nature, a mortal danger to their hosts. Trump’s white nationalism was echoed in his contempt for people from Latin America and Africa, from what he called “shithole countries;” in his suggestion that congresswomen of color Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib should “go back where they came from;” and in his recent remarks congratulating descendants of Nordic immigrants in Minnesota on their superior genes.

Trump has appointed top advisors like Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller, who subscribe to the “Great Replacement” narrative. This mythology suggests that Europeans and European-Americans are under siege from immi-

grants of color whose high rates of reproduction will soon result in a demographic equivalent of “white genocide.” This was the idea motivating the white supremacist chant in Charlottesville, Virginia, that “You will not replace us.”

Trump’s cynically cruel immigration policies have been explicitly designed to inflict such hardship and pain that potential immigrants from “shithole countries” are deterred from entering the U.S. And his fetishized but practically ineffective border wall has little value apart from its symbolic significance as a physical marker of separation between real Americans and immigrants from “shithole countries.”

When asked to condemn white supremacist movements and acts of violence, such as those that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia; Portland, Oregon; and Kenosha, Wisconsin, Trump has either equivocated or signaled his support and encouragement.

This was evident most recently during the first presidential debate, when Trump told the militia movement the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by,” which they have interpreted as a presidential order to prepare for battle in America’s streets.

Taken together, this is nothing short of a fascist style of politics.

And there is so much more: I am barely able to scratch the surface in the space available here.

If Trump is re-elected, there is every reason to believe he will be unrestrained in his racist, authoritarian impulses, and his most militant, violent followers will be emboldened to act on their shared hatreds. The danger is real: the result could well be catastrophic for the American experiment in democracy.

Leaders of the Puerto Rican Student Association and La L.U.C.H.A. strive to create a home for Latino students on campus

NICOLE PACATEQUE, the president of the Puerto Rican Student Association, hopes the group will continue to grow and serve as a home for its members.

S

itting in the front row of her Earth science lecture, Nicole Pacateque saw a presentation slide showing her home covered by a then-Category 4 Hurricane Maria. She couldn’t stop staring at the slide, and she began tearing up.

When her professor asked if anyone in the class was from Puerto Rico, Pacateque raised her hand, tucking her head down as her tears became sobs. Puerto Rico was the place she grew up. The place where her family and her home was. But on the slide, it didn’t look like that.

“The island (looked) tiny,” Pacateque said. “(Like)that’s my home. That’s what I know.”

A few days after Hurricane Maria hit the island, Bea González, SU’s then-vice president for community engagement, held a meeting for Puerto Rican students.

Pacateque entered a classroom filled with other Puerto Ricans from across the United States and from the island. It was an “eye-opening” experience for her, as she didn’t realize how many Puerto Rican students were on campus.

The meeting sparked the Puerto Rican Student Association, which was founded in 2018. Pacateque, who’s now president of PRSA, is one of several students who lead campus organizations that serve as a haven and a “home away from home” for Latino students.

For Latino/Hispanic Heritage Month, here are a few of the current leaders’ stories:

Goldstein restaurant serves more students with take out

By Julia Walker

contributing writer

Syracuse University sophomore David Barbier Jr. orders from Goldstein Alumni and Faculty Center Restaurant five times a week. His week is not complete without some of his favorite meals: the chicken alfredo pasta, buffalo chicken caesar sandwich and salmon.

“I like to be spontaneous and check what they have for the specials,” Barbier said.

Goldstein receives over 300 orders a day, said Olivia

Velazquez, a senior who has worked at the restaurant for over three years. With a 20-person staff, Goldstein provides daily specials and cooked-to-order meals, using fresh local ingredients, such as bread from Pastabilities and rolls from Di Lauro’s Bakery and Pizza.

Despite many restaurants across the country struggling due to the coronavirus pandemic, Goldstein has found creative ways to succeed, said Keone Weigl, marketing and promotions manager of SU Food Services via email. Due to COVID-19, Gold-

stein is only open for pick up and delivery. This year, it has implemented a meal swipe option that has become popular among students and has doubled the number of orders the restaurant receives a week, said manager Sydney Pajack.

“This semester has been very smooth, and there have been many changes behind the scenes,” Pajack said. “It is a team effort, which our whole department is all about.”

In the kitchen, some chefs have worked together at Goldstein for over 30 years. Pajack said the

hidden backbone of Goldstein consists of the three chefs: Jackie Giddings, Sally Chowaniec and Moira Dick.

But the team’s relationship does not end when they leave the kitchen. Giddings said the staff enjoys eating breakfast, dressing up for Halloween and having holiday celebrations together. Working at Goldstein brings students closer to employees, who can act as mentors, Giddings said. The most rewarding part of Pajack’s job is building relationships with the students who work there. see goldstein page 8

BeeKind candle company opens in Syracuse’s Westside Gavi Azoff

asst. copy editor

Sisters Jillian Barrett and Jenna Graf recently opened BeeKind, a candle company and store that sells products from other local businesses.

At the beginning of the year, the two Syracuse natives began experimenting with making candles and decided they would be fun to sell, Barrett said. Once they found a storefront in Tipperary Hill, where they grew up, Barrett and Graf started to open the store in May. But due to COVID-19, they delayed the opening to Sept. 26.

Graf and her sister decided to open their store in Tipperary Hill because they want to help the community they spent their childhood in.

BeeKind began with local deliveries and shipping before the physical storefront in Tipperary Hill opened, and the business took off from there, Barrett said. With the candle business doing well, the sister duo decided to sell products from other local businesses.

“We want to do more than just candles in the store, so we thought it would be great to have other local products and support other people like us that are trying to grow their brand,” Barrett said.

The delayed opening of the store gave them time to figure out licensing and logistics, as well as which candles they wanted to make and the vendors they wanted to work with.

So far, BeeKind sells products from local stores ranging from dog treats to beauty products. The brands BeeKind works with currently include Dutch Hill Maple, Syracuse Salt and Syracuse Soapworks. Graf and Barrett also hope to continue to bring more local businesses and artists to the store.

BeeKind’s candles are made from 100% soy that is grown in the U.S., which is a natural alternative to paraffin candles, Barrett said. from page 7

leaders have her freshman year.

“We try to be everywhere,” she said. “Even though we are a student org, we are a big support group.”

She grew up in San Juan and anticipated leaving Puerto Rico to go to college. Though she applied to schools in Florida because she had family there, her plans changed after she was accepted into Syracuse University.

The over four-hour flight to New York state made Pacateque feel isolated. She was away from her family and came to Syracuse knowing only a handful of other Puerto Ricans. And when Hurricane Maria hit, things got worse.

She had to see news through “second-hand” sources and talked with her brother, who was in Puerto Rico, over the phone. When Hurricane Maria first hit the island, she spent the day in silence with two other Puerto Rican students, she said. “(It was) knowing that we left home and we never (were) going to go back to the same home we left from,” Pacateque said.

PRSA aims to be a group whose members support each other. If something like Hurricane Maria ever happened again to their home, members of PRSA wouldn’t have to deal with it alone, Pacateque said.

This year, PRSA reached out to freshmen to give them an outreach group. Pacateque hopes the organization will continue growing. If it weren’t for PRSA, she wouldn’t have been able from page 7

goldstein “The kitchen staff of three women have perfected all the recipes, and put their heart and souls into building (the) brand behind the scenes,” Pajack said.

Because of COVID-19 limitations combined with half of the staff graduating last year, there were some concerns for the restaurant going into the new season, Pajack said. But by expanding hours and launching a new meal swipe plan, she said Goldstein was able to recover from possible roadblocks.

“This has never been done before, and staff had to get creative so they could still serve customers in a safe and efficient

Steven, Graf’s husband, said that opening the store has been a dream of his wife and sister-in-law, so it’s been great to see it finally come true. For him, watching Graf and Barrett putting in so much hard work to bring their business to life has been inspiring.

“It’s been very inspiring. It’s great to see, especially two sisters just kind of independently going for it and making it happen,” Steven said.

Neither Barrett nor Graf has experience specifically with running their own business.

But as an assistant manager at the gift shop at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo, Graf is familiar with handling money and inventory, and Barrett has experience in sales and retail. Both of their past experiences help, though Graf said they’re still learning and doing research when it comes to owning a business.

The opening of the store was a success, Barrett said, and people from Tipperary Hill came out to show their support.

Now, the sisters are continuing to work on publicizing their store to increase business.

Word-of-mouth from people who have already purchased products has helped, but Graf said that they’ve been focusing on using social media to spread the word.

As for the future, Steven hopes to see the store grow and become more profitable. He would love to see BeeKind possibly open up bigger locations if that is what his wife and sister-in-law want for their store.

Barrett said that she and Graf want to become part of the Tipperary Hill and greater Syracuse community and participate in the neighborhood’s activities.

“We want to be involved in and reach our community, and grow our business and become kind of a staple on Tipp Hill,” Barrett said. gfazoff@syr.edu

to connect with so many other Puerto Rican students and may have even transferred to another school before her sophomore year.

“We were going through such a traumatic experience of us seeing our home destroyed. We still had to go to class, and we still had a culture shock,” Pacateque said. “(But) as time passed, it has helped us build a really strong community on campus.”

Christian Andino Borrero, senior and co-founder of PRSA

Since he was eight years old, Christian Andino Borrero kept on hearing the same message at school in Puerto Rico: either leave the island or stay to help it grow.

It’s the same message that Andino Borrero kept in the back of his mind as a student at SU. His studies have centered around his home of Puerto Rico, and after Hurricane Maria, he helped found PRSA with Pacateque.

“We wanted to create a space and community where you can be yourself,” Andino Borrero said. “We wanted to create a space where we could support each other.”

Andino Borrero hopped around from home to home during his childhood, which was consumed by the message of either leaving or staying. After applying to SU, he was first waitlisted but was eventually accepted.

He took international relations at SU to see how Puerto Rico fit in the “international arena.” He later added the policy studies major to look at the creation of policy in Puerto Rico.

As a founding member of PRSA, he hopes to manner,” Weigl said via email.

Goldstein also had to adhere to public health guidelines, including frequent sanitation and glove changes, required masks for employees, social distancing signage and limitations on in-person dining. And since the dining room is closed this year, Goldstein set up a takeout window on their patio.

The restaurant has also been unable to do catering this year so far, Velazquez said, but staff members have had their hours extended this year because the restaurant is serving dinner.

“The staff has been really respectful and very hardworking, which has made my job and my boss’s job easier,” Pajack said. juwalker@syr.edu

connect other students together as he enters into his final year at SU. He also hopes PRSA will continue to be inclusive and to grow.

After he graduates, Andino Borrero plans on working for “corporate America” and going to make “bank,” he said. But in the future, he hopes to return to Puerto Rico, pursue urban policy and work with the electrical grid, which was highly impacted by the hurricane.

“You can’t deny that Puerto Rico is a part of you,” Andino Borrero said. “It’s everything.”

Noeli Vasquez, senior and president of La L.U.C.H.A

Noeli Vasquez’s experience at SU changed when a member of La L.U.C.H.A. approached her during the involvement fair. The two talked about how Vasquez was from New York City, and they connected over being Dominican. Now in her senior year, Vasquez currently serves as president of the organization.

La L.U.C.H.A. was first founded in 1994 as a Latino and Hispanic student organization, but it has since expanded to involve social events and has become a “haven for Latinx students,” Vasquez said. Club members have participated in the Theta Tau protests and #NotAgainSU’s sit-in last year at the Barnes Center at The Arch.

One of Vasquez’s favorite parts of the organization was that it allowed her to be more active in the Syracuse community.

“If I knew I didn’t have La L.U.C.H.A. my freshman year and I didn’t have people I could go to see weekly, that might have been a different experience for me,” Vasquez said. “I want to

give back.”

Vasquez was one of the only people of color on the fourth floor of Boland Hall her freshman year. It was quite a change from her growing up in Washington Heights, but she had a positive experience. After joining La L.U.C.H.A., Vasquez gained a “home” within the organization and went to different events at La Casita Cultural Center.

Despite being just a general member of La L.U.C.H.A. at the time, Vasquez attended all the town halls after the Theta Tau incident and saw how the organization worked to promote activism. And during #NotAgainSU’s sit-in at the Barnes Center, Vazquez made churros for the protesters and slept over with a friend. Other La L.U.C.H.A. members were in attendance, and they were all there for the same cause.

Vasquez’s attitude for activism hasn’t changed, even if it isn’t as “obvious” as a protest, she said. For the upcoming election, her organization is linking voting resources to the La L.U.C.H.A. Instagram page to encourage people to register to vote.

Vasquez is also recruiting for La L.U.C.H.A. despite the COVID-19 pandemic. As one of the main desk assistants in Brewster, Boland and Brockway halls, Vasquez has had other Latino students share their experiences with her. She tells them about the organization and upcoming events, she said.

“I still want people to feel, ‘Oh, L.U.C.H.A. was here, L.U.C.H.A. was having events,” Vasquez said. “I want to leave a mark.” cscargla@syr.edu

Syracuse swept by Virginia, loses 3-2 in double overtime

By Roshan Fernandez asst. sports editor

As the ball was inbounded for Syracuse’s second penalty corner of the game at the start of the third period, SJ Quigley drifted toward the left side of the cage. The shot flew in from Charlotte de Vries, and Quigley — who positioned herself in front of the left post — was in the right place at the right time. A slight deflection changed the ball’s trajectory, but Quigley turned it in for Syracuse’s first goal of the season.

Then, with the Orange trailing by one goal, Quigley turned into the creator. With 11 minutes remaining in regulation, she drove down to the endline and picked out Florine van Boetzelaer on a sharp 10-yard pass. The freshman was covered, but the accuracy of Quigley’s pass allowed van Boetzelaer to tie the game with ease.

Syracuse lost 1-0 to Virginia (3-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) on Friday, courtesy of a late Laura Janssen goal that came in the final two minutes of regulation. Sunday, the Orange (0-2, 0-1) forced double-overtime but ultimately came up short, losing 3-2, when Amber Ezechiels notched her second goal of the game in

the 75th minute.

Despite playing against a conference opponent, Sunday’s game won’t count toward conference play for either team. It’s one of three games SU was scheduled to play this season that don’t go toward the standings.

Offensively, the Orange struggled early on, registering only three shots in the first two periods, compared to 10 for the Cavaliers. It took SU until the end of the first quarter to have its first shot, which came from de Vries.

In the first half, the Orange struggled to complete a series of passes and had difficulty with Virginia’s high press. Most of play was Syracuse defending in its own half, and de Vries, Carolin Hoffmann and Chiara Gutsche saw very little of the ball.

On one occasion midway through the second period, a long-pass landed right between Carly Bothof and Gustche as the two looked at each other, seeming to think the other had it. On another occasion, four Syracuse players surrounded one Virginia defender, but when SU tried to connect passes, the lone Cavalier defender won the ball back with ease. Virginia threaded passes all over SU’s side of the field, connecting on through balls and give-and-gos.

The Orange gave up five penalty corners in the first half and had only one of their own.

But momentum shifted with Quigley’s goal in the third period. Against a strong Virginia defense, the Orange looked dangerous, at times. de Vries finished with five shots, but was quiet compared to her usual self. Almost every time she got the ball, three or four Virginia defenders applied heavy pressure, not allowing de Vries — or SU’s other forwards, for that matter — space to turn and shoot on target. Freshman defender Eefke van den Nieuwenhof also notched three shots, including one on a penalty corner that sailed wide left of the cage.

Quigley had a chance to win the game in the last two minutes, once again driving down the endline and all the way to the cage when no defender pressured her. From a few yards away, she fired a shot that bounced off the Virginia goalie and into the side netting.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Syracuse lost the ball deep in its own half and junior goalie Syd Taylor was beaten. With the net empty, the Cavaliers’ forward fired a shot, but van den Nieuwenhof was there to clear it off the line.

Taylor finished with four saves, including an acrobatic effort where she punched the ball over the top of the cage with less than two minutes left in the fourth period, forcing overtime.

She also kicked a ball clear during the goldengoal overtime period, and stood tall to make a strong one-vs-one save minutes later when the Syracuse defense left Makayla Gallen wide open on a blown coverage.

By the second overtime period, both sides looked fatigued. With only seven players from each team on the field, instead of the usual 11, space opened up and SU’s defense had a lot more ground to cover.

In the final five minutes of the second overtime period, the ball once again found Gallen on an inbound play along the right sideline.

Gallen beat her defender and connected with a streaking, unmarked Ezechiels. The Virginia forward fired her shot, which sunk over Taylor’s head and crashed into the back of the net to end the game.

Syracuse returns to J.S. Coyne Stadium for back-to-back games next weekend against Boston College on Oct. 10 and 11. rferna04@syr.edu @roshan_f16

Orange shut out for 3rd straight game in loss to Notre Dame

By Skyler Rivera

asst. digital editor

Syracuse women’s soccer (0-3,0-3 Athletic Coast) succumbed to a dominant Notre Dame (3-1, 3-1 ACC) offense, losing 2-0.

It marked Syracuse’s third straight loss on the road to begin the season. Senior goalkeeper Lysianne Proulx continued her strong start in the net, making nine saves for the Orange, just shy of a season high of 10 saves.

Notre Dame started the game quickly and controlled possession with a corner kick from Sammi Fisher and four shots on goal in the first 10 minutes of play. Proulx defended the net with a full extension save on one shot Midway through the first half, Syracuse from page 12

kempney Kempney’s rise as a recruit the last six months was driven by workouts with Piroli and weight room sessions with his brother Tyler, a member of the World Cup ice climbing team. He became Syracuse’s first five-star commit since Owen Hiltz in 2020 and will be the third Kempney sibling to play for the Orange, joining his sisters Kailah and Braelie.

“His fundamentals are very solid, and his knowledge for the game is there,” said Tom Grimm, a family-friend and former SU lacrosse player from 2012-16. “So you put that together with his physical attributes and that’s a good recipe for a dominant midfielder.”

But choosing Syracuse wasn’t a given. The night of Sept. 1, the day the recruiting cycle started, Kempney and his family returned home around 10:30 p.m. and waited for the phone calls. Coaches warned they would start from page 12

mcintyre right now of having a chance to compete,” McIntyre said. “And we’re going to take advantage and I’d certainly rather be playing right now than not playing.”

With the loss of last season’s top two goal scorers, Ryan Raposo and Massimo Ferrin, McIntyre emphasized that the Orange will need production from returning players. Hilli Goldhar and Luther Archimede will see a potential increase in on-field responsibilities, and some of Syracuse’s 14 new players will also get opportunities. Specifically, McIntyre mentioned freshmen DeAndre Kerr and Jack Coleman as well as transfer forwards Roque Viegas Jr. and Manel Busquets as players who might play key roles.

With considerable roster turnover, McIntyre also hinted at a potential change from his standard 3-5-2 formation at some point in the season, saying his players will

midfielder Kate Hostage went down after a hard hit from Notre Dame defender Jenna Winebrenner. Hostage briefly left the field and was replaced by Jenna Tivnan. Hostage missed last season due to injury.

Notre Dame opened the scoring as Brooke VanDyck found Kiki Van Zanten, who aimed low on the right side of the net to get Notre Dame on the board at 43 minutes. Van Zanten netted her fifth goal of the season, surpassing her total goals from last year. It was the Orange’s first goal allowed during the first half this season.

Without the help of Clarke Brown, Laurel Ness and Molly Nethercott, who are out due to injury, the Irish outshot Syracuse 11-1 closing out the first half. Syracuse’s defense and Proulx,

who made four saves in the half, allowed Notre Dame five shots on goal to end the half.

Syracuse’s defense continued to show cracks in the second half as Notre Dame launched six shots in the first 10 minutes of play. Minutes after Proulx fully extended for her seventh save of the game, Luisa Delgado hit the crossbar at the 68-minute mark.

Around 77 minutes, Syracuse’s offense briefly came alive with two scoring opportunities. Hostage was fouled on another strong Notre Dame challenge, leading Syracuse to a free kick and the Orange’s third shot of the game that went over the Fighting Irish bar. Seven minutes later, Proulx punted down the field to Meghan Root who took the ball into the box, passing to Stephanie deLaforcade who took a shot on the Notre

Dame goal. But her shot was blocked, and the score remained 1-0 Notre Dame.

As the half moved on, the Orange grew noticeably tired as they tried to keep up with a relentless Notre Dame offense.

With just under a minute remaining, a miscommunication from Proulx and Alina Miagkova led to a second goal from Van Zanten that secured a Notre Dame win. Moments prior to the goal, Proulx momentarily left the net as the ball connected with Van Zanten’s right foot and into the empty net.

The Orange head back to Syracuse to face No. 1 North Carolina on Oct. 15 in search of their first goal this season.

right away, and they did. His mother, Roxanne, couldn’t sleep between bursts of Kempney running into her room with an update on the latest school to reach out.

Kempney is the “total package,” Orange Crush coach Gavin MacLachlan said. One of six five-star offensive midfielders in the Class of 2022, he was the best scorer on offense for his club team and Carthage head coach Jason Coffman, but was willing to grab a short stick when either team went down a man.

But during his freshman season, where he scored 17 goals for the varsity team, Kempney couldn’t score at the same rate as before. Eight or nine goals per game weren’t uncommon for Orange Crush tournaments. Opposing defenders had stopped biting when Kempney switched the stick’s head over his left shoulder, as they knew that it’d eventually find its way back to the right side.

“You gotta get better with this left hand,” Coffman said, and suggested practicing the

motion in front of the mirror.

That’s what Kempney did. He fired lefthanded shots during practices, and gradually developed a dual-sided approach on offense.

Then COVID-19 scrapped Kempney’s sophomore season, and the impending recruiting cycle still loomed. In addition to Piroli’s twice-a-week workouts at the field behind his house, Tyler put Kempney through workouts in their basement weight room while letting his younger brother lead him through the lacrosse workouts.

After the Sept. 1 phone call barrage, Roxanne texted Grimm to set up a phone call to discuss everything. The following weekend, Kempney and his parents strolled around Princeton, Yale and Syracuse — trying to get a feel for the campuses with the NCAA still in a dead period and coaches unable to meet recruits or families in person.

“Everyone knows who you are, and everyone wants you to do well,” Roxanne said. “So I think that, too, was part of his decision — knowing

that he would be kinda a hometown hero.”

Kempney grew up in the shadows of his sisters’ lacrosse careers, as Roxanne, his mother, coached them through club and Carthage programs. At SU, Kempeny crammed into the parents section and watched Kailah reach four Final Four’s from 2011-15 and finish as the Orange’s career leader in draw controls. His room had navy blue walls paired with Syracuse-themed bedding.

When Grimm came home from college one semester, in between seasons at Syracuse, he handed Kempney a pair of gloves and a stick he used at Syracuse. Kempney asked if he could have the helmet, too.

Grimm thought about it, but then paused.

“I was like, ‘You gotta go earn that, man,’” Grimm recalled.

Over the next six years, Kempney worked toward that. And in two years, he’ll have a Syracuse helmet of his own.

dictate the team’s style of play.

“Our DNA will be the same: Us being brave and aggressive and being on the front foot,” McIntyre said. “We’re gonna play against a Pitt team that if we give them a lot of time on the ball, they’ll pick us apart. They’ve got some extremely talented players and if Pitt are allowed to get into a rhythm then it’s going to be a long night.”

The Panthers will arrive in Syracuse coming off a 3-1 win over Notre Dame in their opener — in addition to two full ACC exhibition games against Wake Forest and Louisville. The Orange haven’t played a game since November.

“We had (virtual) trivia nights and pizza parties and ice cream parties,” McIntyre said. “Now is that 101 coaching in preparation for an ACC opener? Perhaps not, but that’s the 2020 version and we’ll see. If we win on Tuesday night, it’ll be down to OIP and Häagen-Dazs ice cream.” estorms@syr.edu

Carter Kempney brings ‘total package’ to SU

McIntyre details COVID-19 pause

By Eric Storms staff writer

Virginia’s men’s soccer team boarded the bus and departed for its Sept.

19 exhibition against Syracuse. But instead of the first on-field action for both sides this season — beyond intrasquad scrimmages — a positive COVID-19 test within SU’s program forced the UVA bus to turn around and head back to Charlottesville.

The positive case, which also resulted in the cancellation of SU’s Sept. 25 opener against Navy, occurred on Sept. 13, and pushed back the Pitt game from Saturday to Tuesday. Now, the Orange are set to take the field in Syracuse against the Panthers, marking a return to play 17 days later than anticipated. Instead of typical preseason games and a nonconference schedule, the Orange will be forced to jump right into Atlantic Coast Conference action.

Kempney, a local five-star recruit for the Class of 2022, continues family and Carthage HS traditions

ick Piroli had found the latest offensive move Carter Kempney needed to try. He was always searching for those clips, those highlight plays that usually contained Syracuse midfielders but could easily become Kempney if they worked at it. Kempney had the dodging ability of Tucker Dordevic, Piroli said. The speed of Brendan Curry.

The shot of Jamie Trimboli.

This time, Piroli wanted Kempney to mimic Dordevic’s fake split dodge. Since the coronavirus pandemic wiped away high school seasons and quarantine began in March, the Class of 2022 five-star recruit spent every Tuesday and Thursday in his backyard working with Piroli, a 2016 Syracuse men’s lacrosse grad transfer. He needed to stay sharp in case club tournaments returned over the summer. The pair rotated between the agility ladder and cone drills — solidifying Kempney’s fundamentals and

footwork ahead of the Carthage (New York) High School junior’s recruiting period.

After watching Dordevic’s clip, Kempney mimicked the hard-step move in front of his net, changing direction before breaking toward the cage. He paused and did it again.

And again. After 15 or 20 repetitions, it was a usable move.

“He’s kind of similar to (Syracuse’s) three starting middies right now,” Piroli said. “Carter could become somebody like that once he’s up there just based on where he is right now.”

On Kempney’s two recruiting Zoom calls with SU, the Orange’s coaching staff shared the same vision. He was a central New York native from Carthage — on the same path SU lacrosse legends Casey, Mike and Ryan Powell took. Kempney could succeed in Pat March’s midfield-dominated offense — one that catapulted the Orange to the No. 1 ranking in 2020. And on Sept. 14, Kempey committed to Syracuse, joining one of SU’s most successful recruiting classes in recent years. see kempney page 10

“They’ve been resilient, they’ve pivoted when they’ve needed to and we’re excited to have the opportunity to welcome a terrific Pitt team,” head coach Ian McIntyre said during a Zoom press conference Friday. “Probably not the way I’d had written it for your first game of the season, but it’ll be fun.”

A full two-week quarantine period relegated Syracuse back to Zoom meetings and virtual training sessions with only a couple of days back together before its opener. Despite being unable to take the field, the Orange have tried to make the best of it. McIntyre said he enjoyed seeing his players’ various Zoom backgrounds and finding out who keeps the messiest apartment.

Players used couches and chairs instead of gym equipment when lifting weights, and followed the TeamBuildr app for workout routines. McIntyre credits strength and conditioning coach Corey Parker for effectively engaging and challenging the team to stay fit.

Still, there are player availability questions heading into Tuesday’s game. The player who tested positive for COVID-19 has since cleared protocols and is back with the team, McIntyre said, though he is unsure if the individual will play. He added the coaching staff will “make sure we make good decisions on all our players,” regarding who’s physically ready to play after such a long layoff, noting junior midfielder Julio Fulcar as one player nursing an injury.

Despite the added challenges of these circumstances, McIntyre said he’s not taking anything for granted.

“Right now there’s probably about another 170-180 programs that would love to be in our situation see mcintyre page 10
