CrouseHinds sitin enters 8th day By Sarah Alessandrini asst. copy editor

#NotAgainSU organizers have occupied Crouse-Hinds Hall for eight days. The movement, led by Black students, began occupying the building Feb. 17 to continue its protest of at least 29 racist, anti-Semitic and bias-related incidents that have occurred at or near Syracuse University since early November. Protesters held a sit-in at the Barnes Center at The Arch for eight days in November, ending the demonstration after Chancellor Kent Syverud signed 16 of the movement’s 19 demands as written and revised the remaining three.

#NotAgainSU, university officials disagree on what happened inside Crouse-Hinds Hall last week By Chris Hippensteel asst. news editor

yracuse University administration and #NotAgainSU protesters disagree on what unfolded inside CrouseHinds Hall while the building was sealed off Tuesday and Wednesday. #NotAgainSU, a movement led by Black students, began occupying Crouse-Hinds at noon on Feb. 17. The demonstration is part of the group’s ongoing protests of the university’s handling of at least 29 racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic incidents that have occurred at or near SU since early November.

The Department of Public Safety sealed off CrouseHinds as of Tuesday morning, barring people without swipe access from entering. Food, medicine and other supplies were not permitted to enter the building until Wednesday afternoon. The building reopened Thursday. During and after the closure of Crouse-Hinds, protesters have said that the university prevented food, medicine and hygiene products from entering the building as a means of compelling protesters to leave. “We felt like animals,” one protester said during a discussion with visiting students from SUNY Binghamton. “We felt like prisoners.” see protest page 4

Organizers to call for negotiations with officials By Emma Folts news editor

#NotAgainSU plans to contact Syracuse University administration Sunday night with a time and place to negotiate on the movement’s demands, an organizer said. The movement, led by Black students, has occupied Crouse-Hinds Hall since Monday to continue its ongoing protest of at least 29 racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic incidents that have occurred at or near SU since early November. Organizers plan to occupy the

building until the movement’s 24 demands are met, protesters said Wednesday. The movement initially presented a list of 19 demands to Chancellor Kent Syverud in November, adding six, revising five and retracting one on Feb. 17. University officials have not signed the movement’s updated list of demands as of Sunday night. The movement demanded Feb. 17 that Syverud and three other SU officials resign by 11:59 p.m. Friday. None of the officials have vacated their positions. “We have only been in com-

#NotAgainSU presented a revised list of 24 demands Feb. 17 and plans to occupy the space until the demands are met. As of 11:59 p.m. Sunday, university officials have not agreed to the movement’s new and revised demands. The movement demanded Feb. 17 that four SU officials resign by 11:59 p.m. Friday. #NotAgainSU said in a statement that “escalated action will take place” if the officials did not resign or the Board of Trustees did not remove them. None have vacated their positions. The Department of Public Safety sealed off Crouse-Hinds as of Tuesday morning and reopened the building Thursday morning. Students, faculty and community members remained outside the building throughout Tuesday and Wednesday to show support for the protesters inside. SU initially placed at least 30 protesters under interim suspension early Tuesday morning for remaining in Crouse-Hinds past its 9 p.m. closing time. Syverud lifted these suspensions Wednesday night. SU officials told organizers Wednesday night that they can remain in the building past closing, but will not be allowed to reenter the building until it opens at 7 a.m. if they leave. Crouse-Hinds will also operated on its 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekday hours over the weekend. scalessa@syr.edu @sarahalessan

DPS bias incident reporting unchanged By Sarah Alessandrini and Chris Hippensteel the daily orange

For about the first eight months of 2019, the Department of Public Safety did not log any reports of bias-related incidents at Syracuse University. DPS documented 23 reported incidents in 2019, according to department crime logs. The first bias incident logged in 2019 was reported Aug. 30. At least 29 racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic and bias-related incidents have occurred at or near SU since early November, with at least nine occurring after January, according to The Daily Orange’s count. DPS documented 19 bias-related incidents at SU from

November to the end of December, crime logs show. The department has not released an official number of bias incidents that have occurred since November. The D.O. is unable to match its count of bias incidents with the crime logs due to the lack of information included in the logs. Though the department did not log any bias incident reports for about eight months, DPS did not change how it classifies cases as bias-related amid the November incidents, DPS Chief Bobby Maldonado said. “If it’s hateful or bias-related graffiti, or if it’s a verbal assault where somebody yells out of a car, and it’s behavior that’s hostile towards an individual because of see reports page 4

Journalist expresses support of #NotAgainSU By Richard J Chang asst. digital editor

Jelani Cobb, an award-winning journalist and professor at Columbia University, expressed his support of the #NotAgainSU movement in a tweet Sunday. #NotAgainSU, a movement led by Black students, has occupied Crouse-Hinds Hall since Monday to continue its ongoing protest of at least 29 racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic incidents that have

occurred at or near Syracuse University since Nov. 7. Cobb delivered a lecture at SU two weeks ago about the ways politicians and journalists can portray ethnicity and racism leading up to the 2020 presidential election. “I spoke here 2 wks ago & will not have my talk serve as progressive window dressing for a school that turns around and suspends students for protesting campus racism,” Cobb wrote in the tweet. SU placed more than 30 #Not-

AgainSU protest organizers under interim suspension early Tuesday morning for remaining in CrouseHinds past closing. The building, which houses administrative offices, including Chancellor Kent Syverud’s, regularly closes at 9 p.m. Syverud announced Wednesday that the students’ suspensions would be lifted. Interim suspension, which is temporary, “is based on the determination that the safety and wellbeing of the University commu-

nity or specific persons are at risk,” according to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. The movement plans to occupy Crouse-Hinds until its 24 demands are met. #NotAgainSU presented Syverud with 19 demands in November, adding six, revising five and retracting one on Feb. 17. The chancellor signed 16 of the initial demands as written and revised the remaining three in November. rjchang@syr.edu @RichardJChang1

Students from Divest Bing and Frances Beal Society, two advocacy organizations at SUNY Binghamton, visited Crouse-Hinds on Saturday and slept overnight. Students from SUNY Oswego, Le Moyne College, SUNY ESF and Onondaga Community College were also present at the demonstration and spoke with #NotAgainSU organizers Saturday. “We all face the same oppression, the same prejudice, the same awful, vile, f*cked up institutions and systems that continue to oppress us and criminalize us for being students, for being Black people, for being brown people,” a SUNY Binghamton organizer said in a statement posted to Instagram Sunday morning. SU placed more than 30 #NotAgainSU protesters on interim suspension early Tuesday morning for occupying Crouse-Hinds Hall after its 9 p.m. closing time. Chancellor Kent Syverund announced Wednesday that the suspensions would be lifted. The Department of Public Safety sealed off Crouse-Hinds as of Tuesday morning, preventing outside food, medicine and other resources from entering until Wednesday afternoon. The building reopened Thursday morning. During the meeting, several of the visiting students asked #NotAgainSU protesters who remained inside Crouse-Hinds how they remained strong and persistent when the building was sealed off. Organizers cited the support system they gained while planning the movement. “These are some of the strongest students we’ve ever seen,” a SUNY Binghamton student said. “I think we can all say that.” The visiting students arrived Saturday afternoon with donations for the organizers, including Gatorade and paper towels.

protest Though administrators later offered food to protesters, it was on the condition that protesters engaged in discussions with university officials, an organizer said in an interview with The Daily Orange. “Food was used as a leverage tool, and a bargaining tool, when there was clearly very unbalanced power dynamics,” the organizer said. “(University officials) still don’t admit it. They still don’t admit that food wasn’t being let in unless it was used as a bargaining tool.” The university has repeatedly denied any allegations of restricting protesters’ access to food. “There was no intention at any time to keep student protesters from accessing food, medicine or other necessities,” said Sarah Scalese, senior associate vice president for communications, in a statement. “The students were able to leave the building at any time to obtain food and other necessities and chose not to do so.” The university provided protesters with lunch and dinner on Tuesday, as well as breakfast Wednesday morning, Scalese said. Protesters said at a forum Wednesday that the university provided food Tuesday night on the condition that the organizers have a conversation with DPS officers. Protesters “never touched the food,” the organizer said. Protesters chose to remain in CrouseHinds because their goal was to cause disruption, an organizer said. Rob Hradsky, senior associate vice president of the student experience and dean of students, suggested Feb. 17 that organizers relocate to university buildings open for 24 hours, like Bird Library. Protesters who remained in Crouse-Hinds past the building’s 9 p.m. closing time were placed under interim from page 3

reports their race, then that’s what we consider a bias-related incident,” Maldonado said. SU classifies bias-related incidents as behaviors expressing hostility against an individual or their property because of their race, religion, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity, among other things, according to the university’s website.

If ... it’s behavior that’s hostile towards an individual because of their race, then that’s what we consider a biasrelated incident Bobby Maldonado dps chief

DPS has classified incidents as bias-related long before the department established its Bias Incidents Reports webpage in November, Maldonado said. The webpage was created to deter copycats, Maldonado announced in a campus-wide email in November. “The bias incident page was really a commitment that the chancellor made to the community that we would note bias incidents within a specific period of time provided that posting that information didn’t compromise the investigation in any way,” Maldonado said in an interview. Bias incidents are not legally required to be announced within 48 hours under the Clery Act, Maldonado said. DPS agreed to #NotAgainSU’s demand that bias incidents be announced within 48 hours after they’re reported unless doing so compromises the from page 3

suspension early Tuesday morning. Chancellor Kent Syverud announced Wednesday that the suspensions would be lifted. “(Occupying Bird Library) is disrupting an academic space for an academic space’s sake,” the organizer said. “That’s not the point. We chose Crouse-Hinds because it deals with enrollment, admissions and all those things that are tied to the student experience.” University officials did not inform protesters why food and supplies couldn’t enter Crouse-Hinds, the organizer said. When protesters asked DPS officers for an explanation, the officers responded that they were “just following orders,” they said. When Syverud visited the Crouse-Hinds occupation on Friday, protesters asked him to identify the university officials who decided to restrict access to the building. Syverud said he did not know who made the decision, but he would find out. Protesters also said Syverud and other SU administrators are responsible for the decision to close the building. #NotAgainSU since November has called for the resignations of Syverud, DPS Chief Bobby Maldonado, DPS Associate Chief John Sardino and Dolan Evanovich, senior vice president for enrollment and the student experience. “All the senior administrators have a piece of the pie,” the organizer said. “Regardless of whoever had the decision, they’re all compliant in it.” #NotAgainSU held an eight-day sit-in at the Barnes Center at The Arch in November. The university opted to keep the building open for its regular hours of operation throughout the sit-in. Protesters were able to bring food and other supplies into the Barnes Center, the organizer said. Tensions between protesters and DPS have also been higher during the Crouseintegrity of the investigation. Several student groups protested SU’s handling of hate crimes and bias incidents in 2019. #NotAgainSU, a Black student-led movement, formed after the university did not disclose information about racist graffiti found in Day Hall until five days after the incident occurred. Students also criticized DPS’s failure to classify the February 2019 assault of three students of color on Ackerman Avenue as a hate crime. A white teenage girl was charged with assaulting two Black students and a Latino student with a handgun Feb. 9 on the 800 block of Ackerman Avenue. The Ackerman Avenue assault fell under the jurisdiction of the Syracuse Police Department, said Sgt. Matthew Malinowski, a spokesperson for SPD, in a text message to The D.O. SPD did not conclude that the attack was racially motivated, Malinowski said. Had the crime occurred on-campus, DPS would have classified it as a bias-related incident, Maldonado said. An incident reported Feb. 9 on the 800 block of Ackerman Avenue is listed in DPS crime logs as an assault. The incident was transferred to SPD, crime logs show. The Ackerman Avenue assault should not have been classified in DPS crime logs at all, Maldonado said. “We might submit reports, for instance if we supplemented them, if (DPS) assisted in some way. But it’s their case. They classify it,” he said. The crime logs list 14 bias-related incidents from 2019 as still under investigation. Eight cases have been referred to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Syverud said last week that the university has identified the perpetrators of several bias-related incidents, including those that occurred in the spring semester. news@dailyorange.com

Hinds occupation than they were during the Barnes Center sit-in, the organizer said. A DPS officer physically struggled with students at the entrance of Crouse-Hinds as the students tried to deliver food and supplies to the protesters inside, according to video shared on social media. The video also shows the officer reaching for his holster during the altercation. “Student protesters feared for our friends’ lives and felt unsafe,” a protester said during Wednesday’s forum. The university’s altered response to the Crouse-Hinds occupation is due to the difference in the protesters’ demands, Scalese said. The university agreed to 16 of the protesters’ 19 demands made during the Barnes Center sit-in as written, and made revisions to the other three. #NotAgainSU added six new demands, revised five and retracted one Feb. 17. “During the Barnes Center sit-in, students raised important issues and asked for changes that were reasoned and reasonable,” Scalese said. “The expanded and changing demands made by student protesters and their reluctance to engage in constructive dialogue through the many channels now available to them make this situation challenging.” The university is working with members of the campus community to meet the commitments made to students in November, as well as address new concerns that have been raised, Scalese said. SU’s decision to cut off protesters’ access to food reflects #NotAgainSU’s concerns about the administration, the organizer said. “The fact that the administration is using a basic human right to talk to students — predominantly Black students — should not be happening,” the organizer said.

negotiations the organizers unannounced to deliver conclusions made during the private meetings, they said. The protesters have been “consistently caught off-guard,” the organizer said. “We organize in a centralized location all day and wait for the elevator to ding when (they) deem it appropriate to communicate with us,” the organizer said. The university is prepared to participate in conversations with the organizers once the students indicate that they’re ready to move forward, said Sarah Scalese, senior associate vice president for university communications, in a statement. “It is our understanding the students are working to identify and secure the faculty advisors who will support them during their conversations with members of University leadership,” Scalese said. The organizer said #NotAgainSU made a list of trusted faculty days before university administration suggested the organizers do so. The list has already been given to administration, the organizer said. Any indication from university administration that the movement is refusing to negotiate is false, the organizer said. “The truth is that we have not been invited to the table where people with decision-making power are present,” they said. #NotAgainSU held a sit-in at the Barnes Center at The Arch in November for eight days to protest the racist incidents. Syverud signed 16 and revised three of the movement’s initial 19 demands during the early hours of the protest’s eighth day. #NotAgainSU’s occupation of Crouse-Hinds will enter its eighth day on Monday.

The Cornell University Student Assembly also expressed support of #NotAgainSU and criticized the administration’s response to the movement in a statement Wednesday. The recent events on SU’s campus portray that students still face racism and bigotry today, the statement said. “The rapid escalation of tactics employed by Syracuse University displayed how the University values policy more than the welfare of students,” it said. The Assembly also released a statement

last November when #NotAgainSU occupied the Barnes Center at The Arch for eight days. #NotAgainSU shared a statement of solidarity from SUNY Binghamton students on its Instagram page Sunday morning. The students spoke outside Crouse-Hinds and held up signs for their organizations. “We hope that next time we come back, it’s to organize and work together,” one of the students said. mehicks@syr.edu | @ maggie_hickss

guest column

Professors express safety concerns #NotAgainSU rejects dishonest narrative W e write to express our genuine horror and profound sadness at the treatment of student-protesters in Crouse-Hinds Hall by the administration of this university. Between Feb. 17, when the students began their sit-in at Crouse Hinds and late afternoon Feb. 19, when the Chancellor spoke before the University Senate, our students were subjected to extremely coercive measures. In an apparent attempt to shut down the protests as soon as possible, University authorities used a combination of isolation (locking protesting students into Crouse Hinds and denying entry to anyone else), intimidation (threatening students with suspension and/ or arrest for trespassing), and conditional access to food, in order to coerce students who were peacefully protesting. University officials denied in the Senate that access to food was being used as a bargaining chip against our students, but students were adamant that this was the case. While the students’ account provides a plausible narrative of how this specific package of measures was deployed against them, the administration has not provided a coherent or plausible explanation of what happened during those first three days of the sit-in and why these extreme measures were deployed. Two administrators, including Sarah Scalese, explicitly acknowl-

edged in the University Senate that food donations were not allowed into Crouse-Hinds during those first three days. A number of us witnessed this firsthand as food donations were turned away at the doors of Crouse-Hinds by Department of Public Safety Officers. Why would they do this? Food is routinely brought on campus without raising concerns about safety. The Barnes protest showed clearly that protesters could be safely fed by donations. But if access to food was being used as a weapon, then cutting off alternative sources would be essential to creating that desperate dependence. The administration has provided no coherent or plausible explanation for barring food donations. Ms. Scalese also told the Senate that the administration provided food on the second day of the sit-in, but that it was inexplicably rejected by the student-protesters. Scalese explicitly denied that there was any conditionality involved with access to food. The students explained in the Senate that food had been offered to them conditionally on that second day. They did not want to be coerced into accepting the administration’s conditions, so they refused the food that the administration offered. The student’s explanation strikes us as very plausible, whereas Scalese’s account requires us to believe that starving students would reject food out of something like sheer petulance.

Access to food is a human right and its denial is an intolerable abuse. According to Jane Howard of the UN World Food Program, when civilians in a conflict zone are deliberately deprived of food as a tactic, such action constitutes a war crime. “Depriving people of their means of survival - and that means blocking relief supplies, blocking food supplies - is actually listed as a violation of international humanitarian law. In particular, using the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is a well-known and recognized war crime,” she said. The use of such extreme and abusive tactics against our students by the administration of this University is unacceptable. Misleading the University Senate and the public about the use of such tactics is also unacceptable. The administration must give an honest description of what happened, those who made these decisions must be held accountable, and the use of war crime tactics against our students must be renounced.

Misunderstandings complicate protests

merica is a country born through revolution and built with that same spirit, expressed through the brave and admirable activists that litter the pages of the nation’s history books. However, no conflict is as simple as it seems, and the recent #NotAgainSU protests in Crouse-Hinds Hall are no exception. For eight days, protesters have occupied Crouse-Hinds. Students that stayed inside of the building were suspended early in the week until Chancellor Kent Syverud announced their suspensions were being lifted on Wednesday. The first time I heard about the situation, I was furious. It’s important to remember in situations such as these, though, that no two sides of any conflict will ever tell the same story.

DIGITALLY AFFECTED ed in the apparent lack of action taken by SU administration in dealing with the hate crimes being reported on and around campus. In fact, Chancellor Kent Syverud claimed in his address to the University Senate on Feb. 20 that actions have been made in response to the incidents. “Some perpetrators have, in fact, been found and punished, including with suspensions, including this semester, but people don’t know that because our student conduct process has been kept so confidential,” he said. Additionally, there was a large outcry over social media about the unfairness of students being suspended for exercising their basic right to protest. But that, too, was inaccurate. Although Asst.

students were temporarily suspended earlier this week, it was actually in response to their refusal to exit SU property when it closed, not for protesting. I stand with and support anyone who feels their rights have been infringed upon and seeks retribution, but I feel that the way this controversy has been dealt with on both sides is irresponsible. When complex issues are simplified and assumptions are broadcasted as though they were facts, they can greatly damage the legitimacy of a cause and distract from the most important part of the situation: the truth.

#NotAgainSU rejects the depiction of Chancellor Kent Syverud as a ‘white savior’ for finally lifting the sanctions on students peacefully protesting. This narrative is completely incorrect, unacceptable, and harmful to the student protesters to whom the administration has denied food, medicine, and hygiene products as if they were contraband. While students who were on interim suspension did receive email confirmation from the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities that the interim suspensions had been lifted and our Code of Conduct cases were “suspended,” it is unclear whether the cases can resume or will remain on our academic records. #NotAgainSU demands that the administration clarify this language to terminate and expunge the Code of Conduct cases from the records of those who received sanctions. We also condemn the fact that peaceful protesters were even placed on suspension in the first place and hold Syverud responsible as the highest-ranking member of the administration. The administration claims that DPS is here to protect students, and yet DPS officers have engaged in numerous acts of physical violence, racial profiling, manipulation, and intimidation tactics. On Feb. 17, Deputy Chief of DPS John Sardino, who #NotAgainSU calls on to resign, physically assaulted students of color at the entrance to the building and reached for his holster during the assault. That night, DPS officers instigated an encounter with protesters outside by pushing into the most crowded door without announcing themselves. Syracuse University rests on stolen indigenous Haudenosaunee land, and while this administration increasingly hands the university to private interests and the military industrial complex, student protesters are taking it upon themselves to create the “150 Years of Impact” this university consistently fails to uphold or create for all students. Student protesters were accused of disrupting academic spaces. Instead, it was the administration’s lockdown of the building, abrupt

relocating of classes, and racial profiling of Black faculty and staff that were highly disruptive to academic activities. Furthermore, the administration’s failure to hold white supremacists accountable for hate crimes is highly disruptive to students of color on campus and signals the administration’s complicity in spreading white nationalism. #NotAgainSU wants to make abundantly clear: we were never asked to present identification on Monday night. When protesters asked Rob Hradsky, vice president of the student experience, how student protesters were identified, he stated that students’ faces were captured through DPS body cameras and building cameras. These images were then “manually” matched to photos on students’ SUIDs. It is, in fact, highly unlikely that DPS could match everyone’s faces so quickly from a pool of 20,000 students. During this process, the administration also suspended four Black female students and one Latinx female student who never entered the space after 8:30 p.m. on Monday. This is blatant racial profiling. All of these students are also associated with protesters occupying the space. If the university used facial recognition technology or files on student activists, we want public recognition and accountability. Two of those students are residents of the Multicultural Learning Living Community. Their resident adviser, along with two residents in the learning community, were part of the occupation. The university is claiming to make a commitment to multicultural experiences; however, multicultural spaces are in direct threat. #NotAgainSU expresses full solidarity with the ongoing labor strike led and called by Black, indigenous, and people of color graduate workers. Among our 18 demands, we call for the university to establish safe multicultural living spaces in every building, disarm DPS, freeze tuition, and implement programs that directly fund students of color, many of whom have now been starved during this occupation and terrorized by the hate crimes last semester.

PAGEANT PRIDE African Student Union hosts inaugural pageant to celebrate culture By Morgan Tucker asst. copy editor

ressed in colorful garments unique to their African countries of origin, three young women strode across the Goldstein Auditorium stage all with the same goal: to be crowned Miss Africa. The Miss Africa Pageant was held for the first time by Syracuse University’s African Student Union. SU students represented countries such as Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria and Guinea as they educated the audience about their African cultures and how their career aspirations can help various African countries. The pageant showcased the differences between African cultures along with the individuality among African women, said Nneka Akukwe, president of ASU. “Women’s empowerment is the new black,” she said during her introduction to the show. “We want people to see there’s more to African women than, you know, being domestic and things of that nature,” Akukwe said. Three past ASU executive board members judged the competition, including Tiffany Sarpong, Stacy Omosa and Chloe Etti. Sarpong and Etti are both SU alumnae, while Omosa is a current senior at SU. The night began with an introduction of the contestants, who each carried their country’s flag across their shoulders as they danced and walked out to the upbeat music blaring from the auditorium speakers. Each woman began her introduction with the language of her culture. In honor of both of her countries of origin, Louisa Williams represented Ghana and Liberia as a firstgeneration student in her third year at SU. She said she chose to embody both countries because they each helped her become the woman she is today. Meanwhile, SU sophomore Ifechukwu Uche-Onyilofor, an economics and finance major, represented Nigeria. Miss Guinea, Nafissatou Camara, is an SU freshman who is undeclared in the College of Arts and Sciences with hopes to major in business entrepreneurship.

Students United for Body Acceptance to host first events By Christopher Scarglato staff writer

Since she was in high school, Syracuse University senior Taylor Krzeminski has struggled to feel comfortable with her body. After seeing a counselor at SU, she was recommended to a treatment center for her eating disorder. Although she is still in recovery, Krzeminski finds that sticking to scheduled meals and focusing more on experiences and travel aided the healing process. She added that this shift in mindset was especially

important while abroad in Poland her junior year. After finding others with similar experiences and concerns, Krzeminski co-founded SU’s Students United for Body Acceptance Club, which spreads awareness of body acceptance and eating disorders. “I just thought that it was important to have something like that on campus just because of how prevalent dieting and eating disorders are among people in our age range of the typical college student,” Krzeminski said. “It just didn’t make sense to me that so many people weren’t

talking about it.” SUBA is a new club on campus with a mission to “change the culture from being obsessed with how you look to focusing on yourself,” Krzeminski said. The organization will host events in honor of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week from Feb. 24 through March 1. Events include SoulTalk, a weekly meeting dedicated to talking about life’s biggest questions, on Tuesday and a presentation on eating disorder myths on Thursday. Both of these will be in collaboration with the Barnes

Center at The Arch. Krzeminski first saw the other co-founder, Eli Blodgett, while scrolling through her Instagram feed in February 2019. She was intrigued by Blodgett’s posts about body positivity after seeing him on a mutual friend’s post. After her own experiences involving body image, Krzeminski messaged Blodgett in support, and the two immediately clicked. Throughout the course of the semester, their friendship deepened, culminating in the start of see suba page 8

pageant Aminata Sanogo, an ASU e-board member who helped organize the event, said each contestant is uniquely different. “They all are prideful of where they come from, and they all have different dreams,” she said. In the career portion, each contestant shared how they will use their education at SU to help create change in Africa with visuals and skits. Miss Ghana and Liberia said she is the only Black woman in the supply chain program at SU and hopes to use her privilege to create change against the loss of lives and resources from the Ebola outbreak in Liberia.

The contestants then showcased their talents to the audience with acts such as reciting poetry and dance. Miss Nigeria was joined by two back-up dancers on stage in an African dance, while Miss Ghana and Liberia recited a poem called “The Skin That Never Sheds.” The poem explained the layers of her identity that permanently mark her in society, such as her culture, skin color and being a woman. Between each section of the pageant, individuals and groups such as SU’s African dance team, ONEWORLD, performed as the contestants prepared for the next segment. from page 7

suba

SUBA after seeing a lack of body acceptance organizations and a safe space for all different types of bodies on SU’s campus. “Eating disorders isn’t something we need to keep in our pockets,” Blodgett said. “We need to have a conversation about it.” Krzeminski and Blodgett spent their summer dedicated to creating a constitution and recruiting, eventually applying to be a registered student organization in September 2019. With recruiting, Krzeminski brought two people from her “Fat and Feminism” class on board, Naiya Campbell and Yarijel Melendez, who became the vice president and secretary of SUBA, respectively. Once SUBA was officially recognized last fall, it began recruiting new members through involvement fairs and word of mouth. Ellie Quillen, a freshman and member of SUBA, found the club online and wanted to join because she saw a lack of body acceptance clubs in high school. She also wanted a place where she could take a break from social media culture. “I’m a teenage girl in a world where social media has unrealistic body standards,” Quillen said. “It would be the best thing for me to surround myself with people who are more accepting of different bodies.”

In the segment dedicated to traditions, each contestant explained the purpose of their clothing as it pertained to their cultures, along with causes for which they advocated. Akukwe said this section is her favorite in the show because it shared the traditional meaning of the garments and why they are worn during different events. “Sometimes I feel there is a tendency to appreciate clothing without necessarily understanding the meaning behind it,” Akukwe said. The last section of the show was a Q&A. The judges asked the contestants two questions regarding how they would address current issues affecting Africa and the African community at SU. One judge asked Miss Guinea how she, if named Miss Africa, would uplift the Black community on SU’s campus with regard to the current protests by #NotAgainSU. She took a long pause to compose herself before continuing to emphasize that students must keep fighting together and change will come. In response to the events occurring on campus with #NotAgainSU, Akukwe said the pageant offered a space for students to destress and not be reminded of what is going on for a couple hours. At the conclusion of the show, Miss Ghana and Liberia — Williams — was crowned Miss Africa. Sanogo said ASU wants to make the pageant an annual event. She said next year they hope to make the pageant a Mister and Miss Africa pageant. Sarpong said she admires how each contestant was willing to educate their peers on the diversity of their African cultures in the show. “That is very important — constant communication and constant education — because a lot of people still have misconceptions about what Africa is, about the purpose of Africa,” Sarpong said. mctucker@syr.edu

At the beginning of the semester, the club started holding meetings on Mondays called “Body Neutral Mondays.” Topics vary from week-to-week, with past topics including dieting culture. The meetings normally host a check-in on how members are doing and provide an open-forum setting for members to speak their mind. The NEDA week events are SUBA’s first events held as an organization. During this semester and in the future, SUBA plans to have a shopping clothes trip to help against the social consciousness with body norms in shopping, Krzeminski said. The club also hopes to partner with Ophelia’s Place, an eating disorder treatment center in Liverpool, and will host a fundraiser with donations going to the treatment center on March 2 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Now, Krzeminski looks back on all that she’s been through, from her time in treatment, to meeting Blodgett and starting the club. This semester, Krzeminski wants the club to grow by the time she graduates and pave a new generation of students willing to talk about body acceptance. But the awareness only starts with NEDA week, she said. “It is important to live life in the moment,” Krzeminski said. “There is more to life than the way you look.” cscargla@syr.edu

Hacks realize thrice successive victory, 42-32, over Fanboys By W.F. Whence

Past scribes, hear ye. Thrice have the Hacks flourished in the Carrier Dome. This iteration, a 42-32 triumph, reclaimed esteemed glory. The helpless Fanboys hath little providence on the sideline, and even lesser endowment on the court. The year 2020, in continuation with the previous two solar cycles, belongs to the Hacks. “Luc Sigaud is a good man and I respect his basketball mind,” Hack head coach Andrew Graham said. “But I’ve been living rent-free in his mind for months leading into this game. Now my ultimate move of psychological warfare is name-dropping him in The D.O., something he’ll detest — or love. #ThreePeat.” Grandiose performances from senior hacks Michael McCleary, Eric Black and Josh Schafer invigorated the Hack faction. The Hacks ushered the score for the contest’s duration, but a comeback undertaking made the clash close for onlookers. After a misfortunate whistle, Graham scampered the length of the court to bellow at an official. Hark! The ensuing technical foul was deserved. “I secretly wanted Andrew Graham to be ejected after his first technical so I could take over,” Hack assistant coach KJ Edelman said. from page 12

the 2019 30-goal scorer from finding the net more than twice, it allowed Nichtern to find open teammates. With less than a minute remaining in the first quarter, Nichtern drew Kennedy and DiPietro to push up on him, leaving Sean O’Brien open at the side of the cage. While both SU defenders reached for the high pass, O’Brien snagged it, faked high, and bounced the ball under Porter’s stick. The ball beating Porter was a rare sight Sunday, though, as the Ontario native set a career high in saves (18), including nine in the first quarter. From the end of the second quarter, Porter and Syracuse held Army goalless for almost 15 minutes. But Army goals bookended the end of the third and beginning of the fourth quarter, and the Black Knights rebuilt a two-goal lead. Tucker Dordevic took the ball behind the net with nine minutes remaining. Sprinting and dodging from X, the redshirt sophomore skirted Army’s crease before turning and releasing a shot high and in. SU’s offensive shift was paying off. David Lipka scored on an identical question-mark dodge 40 seconds later. A move that had resulted in shots high and wide from Griffin Cook all game finally worked, and it from page 12

notre dame buckets in transition and shot 59% (10for-17) in the opening quarter. The Orange depended on the deep shot just as much in the second quarter. SU shot another 12 3s in the period, including five each from Digna Strautmane and Cooper.

MICHAEL MCCLEARY, veteran scribe, doth hath the utmost precariousness, albeit his determinable nature invigorated the Hacks. elizabeth billman asst. photo editor

Schafer (8 points, 13 rebounds, 4 hustle plays), galvanized a Hack frontcourt that preponderated the rebounding oppugn.

“As soon as I saw Mike (McCleary) dive head-first into the scorer’s table, I knew it was over for the Fanboys,” Black, a senior

evened the score. The difference was the defender. While 5’7 Cook matched against one of Army’s poles all afternoon, Dordevic drew short-stick defensive midfielder Matthew Horace. The inversion — moving midfielders like Dordevic and Lipka behind the cage — exposed some of the largest offensive mismatches. “In the second half we just kind of took a step back and realized that they weren’t going to come to us,” Trimboli said. “So it was up to us to beat our guy one-on-one.” Trimboli didn’t have the same benefit of a positional mismatch — Army covered him with a pole defender, Black Knight coach Joe Alberici said. But it didn’t matter. Less than a minute after his second goal, Trimboli cut down the middle once again. Even when a Curry pass was earmarked for Rehfuss it still somehow found a way into Trimboli’s pocket and soon later under Army’s Wyatt Schupler. Trimboli later finished off SU’s eighth goal, which put the Orange ahead for good. “We were telling our guys to shoot high,” Trimboli said. “But I was pretty stubborn and still snuck a couple low on him.” The second-half adjustment put the game into the hands of Syracuse’s first midfield line. Every single SU score came from its midfielders. It was an adjustment that came after Syracuse’s attack failed to register a

point in the first half. And while the attack stayed quiet, the midfield — and specifically Trimboli — showed up.

Strautmane was the focal point of the visitors’ offense, at one point attempting SU’s only shot on four-straight possessions. But two Syracuse buckets in the final minute — including a fast-break layup from Emily Engstler at the halftime buzzer — cut the deficit to 11. “It’s not like we got down and never got back into the game,” Hillsman said. A combined 15 points from Lewis and Coo-

per in the third quarter inched the Orange even closer to completing the comeback, but a failure to capitalize on Notre Dame’s mistakes was the preventing factor. The Fighting Irish didn’t score for nearly the first four minutes of the final period, a stretch in which SU scored just four points. SU turned four ND turnovers in the quarter into two points. Lewis and Cooper again spearheaded Syra-

scribe, decried. In the subsequent half, veteran scribe Danny Emerman (14 points) pinpointed a bundle of ternions. His fellow scribes overcame his offensive inefficaciousness. Violations became interminable madness in the final 120 seconds. Fortuitously for the Hacks, senior scribe McCleary’s precision from the 15-foot line procured an ineffable lead. “When they started sending me to the line, I knew what was going to happen,” McCleary boasted. “Except for those times I missed. Those caught me off guard.” Still, the Hacks’ ascendancy wasn’t without folly. Kaci Wasilewski, spark-plug scribe, took a devastating tumble in the time of garbage. “As self-appointed head cheerleader, I only had time to play three minutes, much to the chagrin of my fans,” Wasilewski bantered. “I did trip over my own shoes though so maybe that was for the best.” Since 2017, the year of the Schwedelson, the Fanboys hath not escaped the bellows of the Hacks’ futility. For the Fanboys, the end does not appear nigh, and the end, perhaps, is interminable. W.F. Whence is a germanificated staff sculptor for The Daily Orange, where he regermanificated to sculpt this glistening prose.

SU season in peril after Notre Dame loss By David Schneidman staff writer

Down two with the shot clock off, Kiara Lewis caught the inbound pass and dribbled around the top of the key. Syracuse had clawed back from down 18 and had the chance to win or send the game to overtime with the last shot of the game. A loss would be detrimental to its NCAA tournament hopes. With five seconds left, Lewis launched a contested 3 from the top of the arc that fell short but into the hands of Gabrielle Cooper. Cooper’s momentum carried her under the basket, where she flipped the ball up and off the backboard. What looked like a routine reverse layup bounced off the right side of the rim and outside the cylinder, crushing SU’s quest for a season-saving comeback win.

The field goal percentage Notre Dame recorded in the first quarter, when the Fighting Irish built its lead.

yracuse’s Jamie Trimboli took a pass while darting in from outside the restraining box. Winding up a shot, he baited Army’s Ryan Sposito into stepping forward. He then shrugged the midfielder off and stepped further toward the cage. He pulled his stick back once again, out of the reach of another Black Knight defender and fired a shot while falling to the ground. As the two Army players who missed because of Trimboli shook their heads, the SU midfielder ran to the Orange sideline where he was mobbed — knocking helmets with teammates and high-fiving coaches. The senior had just scored his fourth goal of the game. His second in 59 seconds and third of the opening five minutes of the half. Trimboli opened the scoring for Syracuse, dragged SU back from a 5-2 halftime deficit and later grabbed its first lead. After putting up its lowest offensive output of any half this season through the

With timely scoring from Jamie Trimboli, Syracuse came back to beat Army first two quarters, Syracuse clawed back on the shoulders of Trimboli. Second-half adjustments — inverting and spreading the offense — allowed the No. 5 Orange (3-0) to open space in the middle of the field and manufacture mismatches to overcome a suffocating No. 9 Army (3-2) defense en route to 9-7 win in the Carrier Dome Sunday. Out of the locker room, Brendan Curry took the ball up the right alley and, after dodging wide, passed into the middle to

an uncovered Trimboli. The senior cut Army’s lead to two just 30 seconds into the second half. Syracuse had finally adjusted. Curry had the ball 20 yards from the Army net, but he doubled back to spread out the Black Knight defense. Army’s man-to-man forced the Orange to win one-on-one battles, and that’s exactly what Curry did, opening space and drawing a late slide to leave Trimboli alone in front. “We knew they were gonna press out, they have been doing it on film all year,” Trimboli said. “We just hadn’t gone against it so it was a little shock but we took the shock well.” While Army’s game plan was predicated on slow, often non-existent, slides, the Orange slid on the catch to cover the Black Knights’ top attack, Brendan Nichtern. Brett Kennedy was tasked with the bulk of coverage duties in the absence of Nick Mellen, but Nick DiPietro often left his man to pressure Nichtern. While the close coverage prevented

In the second half we just kind of took a step back and realized that they weren’t going to come to us. So it was up to us to beat our guy one-on-one. Jamie Trimboli senior midfielder

Syracuse (15-12, 9-7 Atlantic Coast) may have solidified its postseason fate in its 72-70 loss to Notre Dame (11-17, 6-10) on Sunday afternoon at Purcell Pavilion in South Bend, Indiana. ESPN’s Charlie Creme said prior to the contest that the Orange needed to win all three of their remaining regular-season games to receive an at-large bid, then tweeted about SU’s now-slim chances after the loss. “These are tough because we know how critical these games are down the stretch,” head coach Quentin Hillsman told Brian Higgins after the game. “We needed this one, we didn’t really get it done.” If there was one contributing factor to Syracuse’s downfall on Sunday, it was its first-quarter performance. Syracuse’s first seven shots of Sunday’s game came from behind the arc, with just one falling. The Orange didn’t attempt a twopoint shot until the 4:52 mark of the first quarter. By then, the deficit was already 13. Notre Dame turned six SU turnovers into nine points in what ended as the Orange’s worst first quarter of the season — 3-for-17 shooting and a 16-point deficit. Many of the Fighting Irish’s first-quarter points came from lapses in SU’s full- and half-court defense. Sam Brunelle found pockets of space in and around the 2-3 zone and sunk two 3s. Point guard Destinee Walker made all four of her shots, two of which were open layups. Notre Dame regularly beat Syracuse down the floor for easy see notre
