Legal services director responds to concerns By India Miraglia staff writer

Attorney Christopher Burke, program director of Student Legal Services, has said the office’s independence from Syracuse University is important, even as the university considers an idea of replacing SLS with in-house lawyers. At a Graduate Student Organization meeting earlier this semester, the organization’s president, Jack Wilson, said GSO members were worried that SLS lawyers would be replaced by ones hired by the university, which he said could infringe on the service’s independence. SLS provides free legal services

to undergraduate and graduate students at SU. The service is currently independent of the university and is funded by SA and GSO. Graduate Student Organization President Jack Wilson, Student Association President James Franco and SU officials have met to discuss changes to SLS operations. Wilson initially expressed frustration in mid-February after he said Franco and university administrators held a private meeting to discuss a possible reconfiguration of SLS. Burke said he has talked to Franco and Wilson about SLS, but was not involved in any conversations with the university.

SU hurricane relief trip to Houston canceled By Catherine Leffert asst. news editor

Syracuse University’s Student Association has decided to no longer organize a hurricane relief trip to Houston after choosing to consider a long-term advocacy initiative that would focus on supporting areas affected by natural disasters around the world. Last semester, SA members said the organization would send two groups of students to assist aid efforts in Puerto Rico, which was devastated by Hurricane Maria in September, and Houston, which was hit by Hurricane Harvey in August. Students traveled to Puerto Rico during winter break. SA originally planned to send students to Texas during spring break. But Angie Pati, the organization’s vice president, said on Sunday that students who flew to Puerto

Rico said they would rather return to the island to continue assisting Maria aid operations, rather than traveling to Houston. “What they wanted was to go back to Puerto Rico,” Pati said. “Which is really a reflection of them wanting to do some long-term work ... creating a sustainable initiative, rather than them doing disaster relief tourism.” SA Historian John Jankovic originally approached Pati with the idea of traveling to Houston to assist with Harvey relief efforts. Jankovic was the lead student coordinator for the possible trip. No details had been finalized on the Houston relief trip before SA members ultimately decided to not travel to Texas, shortly after students returned from Puerto Rico. “We definitely could have figured out a way to get to Houston, but that’s not the point of it,” Pati

Walsh administration legalizes park sledding By Catherine Leffert asst. news editor

Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh this past weekend lifted an 85-year-old law banning sledding to fulfill a campaign promise of making the winter activity “legal and safe.” Syracuse banned sledding in 1933 after an 11-year-old boy broke his leg while riding a toboggan at the Westcott Reservoir. It’s now legal to ride sleds down a hill in Burnet Park. The hill, located behind a golf clubhouse, is the first legal cityowned area where sledding is

legal. Burnet Park is about 15 minutes from Syracuse University’s Main Campus. Walsh said his campaign promise of lifting the sled ban was one of his most popular vows, Syracuse. com reported. “Snow is an asset in our community,” Walsh told Syracuse. com. “This is an asset we need to promote.” On Friday, the 16th snowiest day in Syracuse’s recorded history, 16 inches of snow blanketed the city. There were “dozens” of children at the park ready to legally

sled down the hill on Saturday, according to Syracuse.com. The city will continue to search for more safe hills to possibly open up to sledding.

The historic sledding ban hasn’t stopped SU students and children from riding down snowy hills, per Syracuse.com. In 2015, The Daily Orange published a guide on the best spots for sledding around campus, despite the activity being prohibited by law. A 12-year-old girl died from a sledding accident in 2009 at the Westcott Reservoir. She lost control and sledded into a parked car, receiving serious head trauma. She died three days after the incident. see sledding page 6

A Syracuse boy, 16, was arrested last Monday on the charge of making a terroristic threat. According to a press release from the Syracuse Police Department, officers responded to a call of a “suspicious incident” at the Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School. Jacob Vazquez, a student at the school, had posted a video online in which he bragged about his “school shooting skills,” police said. The video reportedly showed Vazquez using a BB gun to shoot at a can. There was no specific school named in the video, police said. SPD Sgt. Richard Helterline announced the arrest in a press release on Feb. 27. Vazquez was later lodged at the Onondaga County Justice Center. The BB gun used in Vazquez’s video was recovered by authorities, police said. As of Sunday at about 11 p.m., Vazquez was not listed as an inmate of the justice center. Vazquez had been labeled with the nickname of “school shooter,” a felony complaint filed in city of Syracuse court, according to Syracuse.com. Vazquez was recently suspended from school, Syracuse.com reported. Syracuse.com also reported he shared the video over Snapchat. when: Feb, 26 at 11 a.m. where: 1000 block of Park Avenue

Students took advantage of the rare day off, taking photos in the snow or sledding down the hill near Crouse College, among other things. Jackie Page, a senior international relations and television, radio and film dual major, posed for a photo with a “Speed Zone Ahead” sign before one of her

friends jumped onto a snow tube, barreling down the Crouse College slope on Friday. Schine Student Center remained open throughout the day. All events scheduled in Schine were expected to go on as planned, according to an email sent to the campus community Friday morning. “The student centers never close,” said Bridget Yule, director of student centers and programming services. “We’re considered essential personnel for students to be able to go somewhere.”

Other regional colleges also canceled classes on Friday. Onondaga Community College, which is just southwest of SU, canceled classes. Binghamton University and Cornell University, both south of Syracuse, also canceled classes.

in is referenced in a 2015 report that showed Syracuse had the highest level of concentrated poverty among blacks and Hispanics out of the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the United States. That report was published by the New York City-based think tank, Century Foundation. Syracuse has the 13th highest poverty rate in the United States, with high poverty census tracts nearly doubling between 2000 to 2013. Many of those census tracts line major highways crossing through the city, including I-81. School districts in the area have some of the most racially- and financially-segregated borders in the country. The border between Westhill Central School District and the Syracuse City School District had a 38 percent poverty difference, making it the 15th-most segregated school district border in the U.S. “We designed a situation in this community where some people have opportunity and some don’t,” Abdul-Qadir said. Billue, of the National Action Network, said residents need to talk about things beyond concentrated poverty to address the issues that are created by highways that cut through cities. “I don’t want us to think in any way that this is about the grid or the tunnel versus another option,” Billue said. “What I want us to think about is, ‘What do we get out of it as well?’” Billue said that no matter which option is chosen for I-81, construction jobs must come from the local community, eminent domain paperwork must be filed beforehand if the government tries to obtain private land for public use as part of the project and impacts on the environment must be assessed before anything happens. New York state is currently analyzing possible environmental impacts. Syracuse landowners should be prepared to negotiate for eminent domain, Billue said. The community grid is also the best way to support organizations such as universities and

hospitals to help the city expand organically, Carter said. Universities and hospitals tend to withstand economic changes, create jobs and bring intelligent people to the area, Carter said. Ryan, of Aqua Action CNY, said the I-81 renovations have environmental ramifications. Pollution is often concentrated near highways,

she said, so the community grid option would help mitigate air and noise pollution. New York state Assemblymember Pamela Hunter, Onondaga County Legislator Linda Ervin and members of the town of DeWitt board were in attendance. Abdul-Qadir urged residents to speak with their representatives

and tell them they want the community grid. Syracuse lawmakers, including Mayor Ben Walsh, have previously voiced support for the grid concept. “This issue is the pinnacle problem we are facing in this community,” Abdul-Qadir said.

NY congressional process ignores grassroots options

W

hile I’m new to New York state’s politics, I’m not new to elections. At home in North Carolina, I was involved in primary elections in which candidates made their cases to local voters and not just the party’s elites. This is why I RYAN was shocked GOLDEN to learn that in GOLDEN ’S New York’s 24th RULES congressional district race, the county’s Democratic committees endorse candidates to try and force other potential nominees out of the congressional campaign. Local county committees have endorsed Dana Balter, while voters in the 24th district don’t nominate a candidate until the primary election in June. While my home state is not a shining example of voting rights, this nomination method is unfair to candidates who are new to the political scene. The true test of a candidate should be their ability to connect with their constituents, not the barrage of local donors and political bosses. Grant Reeher, director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University, said he believes this system has its merits, but he added local party committees don’t always have the right priorities when making endorsements. He made the case that a candidate with a smaller political network and low name recognition wouldn’t make for a strong candidate in the general election. An unfamiliar candidate isn’t necessarily a strong one. But grassroots candidates don’t have

an opportunity to make their case because candidates are being endorsed four months before voters go to the polls. Reeher said local committees are sometimes too focused on candidates who paid their dues and waited their turn, citing Syracuse Democrats’ support for Joe Nicoletti in the 2017 mayoral election. He characterized this as “the first move in a series of moves that hurt them in the general election.” These committee structures are concerning, especially when people are looking to “drain the swamp.” While Balter may benefit from the 24th District nomination system, it won’t help the Democratic Party win support from politically disaffected voters. There’s less pressure on these frontrunner nominees to spend time connecting with district voters to win the nomination in comparison to their underdog counterparts. While the Democratic Party argues Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus) is out of touch with his voters, it would be best for the party to not do the same. Katko can be defeated in November, but only with the right candidate. And for that to happen, the local establishment must recognize this candidate can only be found by voters. This system has been used for as long as most central New Yorkers can remember, and most voters don’t want to have to adapt to the political climate we now live in. But if local Democrats don’t change, the only other thing that will remain the same in this district is our representative.

The Daily Orange Editorial Board commends Syracuse University’s decision to relocate some programs in the Health Services building to accommodate a satellite Counseling Center office — a move that will prioritize accessibility and privacy for students seeking mental health treatment. The decision signifies a strong re-evaluation of where student services are hosted on campus and how their locations affect the students utilizing them. Students have expressed discomfort over the Counseling Center’s extreme visibility on Walnut Avenue, where it’s surrounded by Greek houses, and the lack of privacy students experience as a result. And since The Arch, SU’s expanded recreational and health

services center, is not expected to open until fall 2019, the satellite office’s placement in the Health Services building will make receiving mental health services more accessible and approachable. The Counseling Center satellite office will be housed in the spaces of the Office of First-Year and Transfer Programs and the Office of Learning Communities, which will move to the Schine Student Center, where they rightfully belong. The university’s move to open a satellite Counseling Center office also signifies a change in the culture surrounding discussions on mental health. The more exposed students are to service options available to them, the more likely SU is able to establish a healthier and happier campus environment.

The placement of a mental health services office in the Health Services building is only sensical. The office’s placement will play an instrumental role in normalizing mental health services on campus. And normalizing, rather than ostracizing, mental health services can only pave the way for greater acceptance and cultural change.

The Daily Orange Editorial Board serves as the voice of the organization and aims to contribute the perspectives of students to discussions that concern Syracuse University and the greater Syracuse community. The editorial board’s stances are determined by a majority of its members. Are you interested in pitching a topic for the editorial board to discuss? Email opinion@dailyorange.com.

Gillibrand is picture of opportunism

P

olitical opportunism is essential for politicians setting their sights on the 2020 presidential election, and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is wasting no time preparing for her run. Some of her recent actions, including her vocal role in the #MeToo movement and confrontation of President Donald Trump on Twitter, have some Democrats calling for Gillibrand’s nomination for the 2020 presidential election. But, for now at least, Gillibrand is not the answer. She’ll do whatever necessary to advance her career, even if that means turning her back on New York. “Sticking to one point of view and one policy position has always been valued in American politics, to a fault I might add,” said Grant Reeher, director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University. Only a decade ago, Gillibrand was representing upstate New York’s 20th Congressional District, was pro-gun and had an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association, according to The Hill. Compare that Gillibrand to the one who recently visited “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” to discuss how politicians can, and should, break the NRA’s “chokehold” on Congress. Gillibrand has flipped on other key issues since being elected to the Senate. She chalks up her previously held beliefs to ignorance, and while that might seem like a likely excuse, her Senate seat would’ve been further out of reach — and campaign donors would’ve

DON’T GET TOO OFFENDED been more hesitant to provide funding — if she hadn’t changed those views. Reeher said flip-flopping politicians can escape political damage by “limiting the number of highprofile issues on which he or she changes positions, making just one change in any policy area, and having a clear, succinct explanation of why the position changed.” If Gillibrand can follow this advice, her view changes could be defended in a general election. But given her track record, there’s still reason to believe Gillibrand can do the same thing again. This time, though, it’ll be on a larger-scale and it’ll betray an entire state rather than just one district. And Gillibrand’s hypocrisy has continued with her current opportunism. She was recently applauded for her bravery after saying former President Bill Clinton should have resigned for sexual misconduct, yet she happily accepted endorsements and funding from the Clinton family for nearly 20 years, Philippe Reines, a former adviser to Hillary Clinton, claimed on Twitter. Recent headlines also promote Gillibrand’s resume as a social activist, not as a leader who puts the most serious issues first — like the economy, which 84 percent of registered voters in 2016 said is “very important,” per Pew

Research Center. Issues of sexual harassment or gender equality, topics Gillibrand receives the most attention for, weren’t listed on the survey. In a recent “60 Minutes” interview, Gillibrand was branded as the #MeToo senator, and all questions were directed toward her thoughts on sexual harassment, rather than pressing issues like DACA, health care or foreign policy. Gillibrand is taking calculated risks to get her name out, but she should be cautious. Voters may hesitate to rally behind a president known for hypocritically championing the movement against sexual harassment on Capitol Hill. “As far as 2020, the main thrust of the Democratic message will no doubt be a multi-front criticism of President Trump, both his style and substance,” Reeher said. Gillibrand seems apt to convey such a message, so she will be a contender, no question. The country also seems to be awaiting the first woman president, and Gillibrand can come across as an experienced politician who can escape the more serious criticism that was aimed toward Hillary Clinton. But in order to win, Gillibrand must prove she isn’t just an ambitious career politician with a tendency to shift on key issues. Until then, Democrats must keep their options open.

He said separation of SLS from SU is important because it allows for strict attorney-client confidentiality. “Two of the big questions I always get when somebody walks in here are, ‘Is this attorney-client confidential and are you part of the university?’” Burke said. “And the answers would be ‘yes and no,’ and that’s what they want to hear.” SLS offers legal representation and counseling to students on a variety of issues including traffic violations, loans, housing leases and more serious criminal offenses, Burke said.

Wilson and GSO, Franco previously said SA wanted to help SLS get more support from the university, while still maintaining the program’s independence. Undergraduates are utilizing SLS less than expected, Franco said. Students may not be able to access legal help because SLS’s current lawyers are unable to address certain issues or some litigation processes that may be too complicated, he added. Burke said SLS would be happy to find more ways to connect with undergraduate students, but he added that confidentiality should always be the main consideration. SLS used to be located in Schine Student Center, but newer technology made it difficult to ensure confidentiality in that setup.

Burke added that client records need to be completely private. “There are rules out there that all attorneys are bound by and I cannot see that not being a violation of those professional ethic rules,” he said. SLS will advise students on any topic that students feel they need legal assistance with, but SLS is only able to provide representation on certain cases, he added. Burke said SLS was originally meant to be a legal clinic, not a full service law firm. He added that the main conflicts SU students are going to face — traffic tickets, landlord-tenant issues and lease reviews — are all issues that SLS is equipped to handle.

Of the 177 union members who cast ballots, 85 percent voted to recommend Wheeler’s contract be terminated. “Now it is clear and unmistakable that an overwhelming majority of UUP members at ESF have no confidence in President Wheeler and believe his contract should be non-renewed,” said Frederick Kowal, UUP’s president, in the email.

Then-Mayor Matt Driscoll said the city would build snow fences at the Woodland reservoir and Westcott reservoir after the girl’s death, but no efforts were made to legalize sledding. Walsh has also promised to improve the snow removal process in the city. Syracuse’s Innovation Team hosted a summit two weeks ago to come up with solutions for keeping streets and sidewalks free of snow. Three potential solutions included full snow removal paid for by fees, snow removal in “priority areas,” or an improvement of snow removal enforcement using existing laws. Sam Edelstein, the Innovation Team’s chief data officer, said at the summit that snow poses a safety concern, but he also wants to capitalize on its benefits. He said he hoped the city would retract the sledding ban. “We often think about snow as a problem here, but we’re one of the snowiest cities in the country,” Edelstein said at the time. “We should take advantage of that and talk about how we can have more fun in the snow.” ccleffer@syr.edu | @ccleffert

UVP, Light Work to host film screening By Chloe Mathieu staff writer

Driving by the Everson Museum of Art at night, one can catch a glimpse of videos projected onto one of the building’s walls outside. This Thursday, those videos will be shown at a special indoor screening in Watson Theater. Urban Video Project and Light Work in Watson Theater are partnering to present AKIN: Keren Shavit & Eva Marie Rødbro, for a onenight-only indoor screening and Q&A. The event takes place from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The exhibit is described in UVP’s press release as delving into the “conventional relationship between documentarian and ‘subject,’ exploring how fraught it can be with conflicting social emotions of recognition, rejection, misunderstanding, and alliance.”

In a highly disputed move, SU hired full-time professionals in 1983 to operate WAER and train student volunteers. Pictured above is former student Charles Simmons, who worked at WAER during the transition. daily orange file photo

Spring break trips offer experiential learning By Amy Nakamura design editor

For some students this year, spring break won’t be about relaxing in the sun. A few groups on campus are spending their time off in various places around the globe, including reporting in Israel, exploring the effects of ecotourism in Costa Rica, service learning in Washington, D.C. and caving in West Virginia.

Students will be able to apply both classroom knowledge and personal skills in real-world settings.

Washington, D.C.

Through the Office of Residence Life, 44 students will be taking a service trip to Washington, D.C., to work with nonprofits on the issues of hunger and homelessness. Since 2008, this trip has been a way for students to give back to a community and meet new faces along the way, said Karess

Gillespie, assistant director at the Office of Residence Life. This year, students will work in small groups with one of several nonprofits, including DC Central Kitchen, Martha’s Table and Seabury Resources for Aging. They’ll help organize the thrift store at Martha’s Table and assist in housekeeping duties in the homes of elderly adults with Seabury Resources for Aging so these adults can live

independently. Along with serving those in need, students will do a lot of behind-the-scenes work with nonprofits, such as organizing files. At the end of the trip students prepare a community dinner, cooking a meal for the homeless in the area and sitting down with them to eat. This experience allows students to learn more about the people they’re helping. see spring

Anneka Herre, director of UVP, said the artists aim to make audiences uncomfortable with the intimate details of life that they’re capturing on film. “The artists work with vulnerable subjects and create images that are beautiful but also sometimes disturbing and often surreal,” she said. “We are led to wonder why they are there and how they gained such intimate access and to question the boundaries between ‘fiction’ and ‘nonfiction’ — these questions point to the complex relationships at the heart of all documentary.” UVP operates in conjunction with the Everson Museum of Art and Onondaga County. The initiative is a part of the SU Coalition of Museum and Art Centers. Shavit and Rødbro’s full exhibition runs from Feb. 15 to March 31 at the outdoor Everson Museum Plaza on Harrison Street.

Thursday for the premiere of his documentary, “The Miracle Microphone: The Impossible History and History Makers of WAER Radio.” MacFarlane had spent the past two and a half years researching, conceptualizing, reporting and producing to get to this point. Now, he was finally able to illustrate the impact of WAER since its beginning in 1947. The decision to embark on the multi-year and essentially pro bono project was an easy one for MacFarlane. Being part of a public media organization like WAER plays a lifelong role far beyond that of the average extracurricular activity, he said. “It’s hard to think of any student organization in the country that is so prolific at preparing students for the field that they’re about to enter,” MacFarlane said. That novelty — combined with the starstudded list of WAER alumni including Dick Clark, Bob Costas and Mike Tirico — led MacFarlane to ask questions. He from page 7

wanted to know why so many of the greats in communication and broadcasting filtered out of this single radio station. “We’re in a different place physically, the sound of the station has evolved, but how come the students act just like I did?” he said. “How come the students the generation before me act just like I did?” MacFarlane set out to capture this bond. But, at the end of the day, he didn’t want the piece to be a public relations project. He wanted to tell the whole story of the station, including the parts that weren’t picture-perfect. In 1983, SU took over WAER and hired full-time professionals to run operations and train students, a decision that remains controversial today. About one-fourth of “The Miracle Microphone” is about the 1983 events, which evolved into a multiyear dispute, MacFarlane said. But MacFarlane doesn’t look at the conflict in a negative light. He said the events show that the station was important enough to create conflict. It evolved from a “student-run, experimental radio station” to a professionally-run National Public Radio organization. has screened and published work in Israel, the United States, Poland, Germany, China, Norway and Iceland. Rødbro attended art academies in Denmark and the Netherlands and has had pieces screened at the International Film Festival of Rotterdam and the 2016 Ann Arbor Film Festival. Herre had followed both artists for a while before “AKIN” but has never worked with them prior to now. Herre said she hopes the exhibit will make people think, especially because of the deep rifts that seem to be permeating our society. “We are left to wonder, who do we connect with? Who is our ‘kin’?” she said. The documentaries and the Q&A component that make up the Light Work event will give viewers access to the practice of these two artists. Herre hopes it will provide viewers with the means to begin to answer those questions.

Costa Rica

Conveniently located in Tops Plaza Next to Manley Field House

The trip to Costa Rica, offered only to students in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, gives participants a chance to explore the island’s environmental and sustainability policies. Students will apply journalistic and public relations skills to discover how environmental issues are handled in a foreign country, said Hub Brown, an associate professor of broadcast and digital journalism. Five students are meeting with organizations such as the Costa Rican Board of Journalists and officials such as the former ambassador to the United Nations for Costa Rica. While in the country, students will also be observing the effects of ecotourism. Costa Rica builds part of its identity around this idea of sustainability, which is a topic that interests many students, Brown said. “It is what Costa Rica wants to be known for, and it’s important to take a look at how they manage that and how they do that, how they tell that story to the world,” he said.

love the guy.” MacFarlane also worked with Joe Lee, WAER’s director and general manager, who was the program director while MacFarlane was an undergrad. Lee said he feels fulfilled knowing they were able to document the station’s influence. Since a number of the station’s staff has been there for 10, 15 and 20 years, it was important to Lee to see the station’s impact in a visual way. “It was a bit emotional to see the final product,” Lee said. While important to the story, MacFarlane chose not to solely focus on big-name alumni. He was able to hone in on the stories that are representative of the organization, like Lee’s. “I am just a firm believer that WAER is unique and incredibly important,” MacFarlane said. “Not just to Newhouse and the communications program, but to the university as a whole.” The hour-long documentary will premiere on Monday at 9 p.m. on WCNY’s Syracuse channel. lnilesst@syr.edu

And now, WAER holds a “reputation of being the place to develop your skills as a sportscaster in America,” MacFarlane said. “People go in there, and they feed off the energy,” he added. “They feed off the ambition of the other students and the professionals.” MacFarlane found himself coming full circle while producing the documentary. He collaborated with people such as Keith Kobland, who mentored him during his time at SU. Kobland, now a media manager for SU News Services, said MacFarlane wanted to be true to the stories he was telling. He added that students felt they were marginalized at the time of the dispute and still do to this day, and said they are “very right to feel that way.” “The station has a rich history,” Kobland said, “and it’s not just playing music.” Kobland was a news anchor at a local TV station where MacFarlane worked as an undergrad. He recalled MacFarlane taking the bus to work overnight shifts at Channel 5, where he produced the morning newscast. “Scott, as a student, was my producer,” Kobland said. “It was basically him and me.

Over the past 30 years, the Syracuse University Outing Club has been helping students build their own adventures in Franklin, West Virginia. SUOC hopes to give students a healthy dose of the great outdoors. “Our main goal is to just get people outside, and to make it accessible for everyone, which is sometimes hard to do when you’re just always on campus or in a city like Syracuse,” said Jessica Emmerson, president of SUOC. Students can participate in activities such as rock climbing, hiking, caving, backpacing and mountain climbing. Most activities include a beginner-friendly option so that those without any experience can still feel comfortable participating, Emmerson said.

Students also have the freedom to explore the area, including taking a short trip to the nearby Highland Maple Festival, a celebration of maple syrup and a chance to observe the syrup-making process. On the second-tolast night of the trip, participants gather for a potluck-style pig roast. “(The trip) can be as mellow or not as you want it to be. It’s really a type of a choose your own adventure and make it whatever you want it to be,” Emmerson said. “It’s really a trip for anybody.” SUOC is still taking requests to join the trip up until it begins this Thursday. The fee for the trip is $180.

Israel

Students of the NEW 530 Topics in Specialized Reporting class will apply their classroom knowledge in Israel over break, producing or writing stories on topics of their choice. This is the first time the class has taken an international trip, Professor Joel Kaplan said. Through a partnership with the Jerusalem Press Club, students will stay in the country for 10 days, traveling to cities such as Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Ramallah. “The whole purpose of Newhouse, in my opinion, is to produce the next generation of journalists,” Kaplan said. “Although the industry has had a lot of upheaval recently, part of journalism is to be able to report on different cultures and different people.” Tom Austen, a broadcast and digital journalism senior, is producing a story about a small town outside of Tel Aviv that is referred to as the “Oasis of Peace.” While the town is located in a region of conflict, its peaceful lifestyle is the center of Austen’s story. Other students in the class are tackling topics such as gender segregation under Orthodox Judaism, African refugees seeking asylum and the movement of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. “It’s important to scope out what the school offers in terms of things you can use to get experience and have fun while doing it. When I saw this, I jumped on it,” Austen said. abnakamu@syr.edu

Superlatives from Syracuse’s 17-16 road loss to Virginia By Charlie DiSturco senior staff writer

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — In a game that featured two of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s top teams, No. 7 Syracuse (3-1, 0-1 ACC) couldn’t pull away from No. 11 Virginia (5-0, 1-0) on Sunday afternoon at Klockner Stadium, losing 17-16. After taking a two-goal lead into the half, the Orange struggled to keep momentum, as Virginia used a 5-1 run to take the lead. That cued a back-and-forth contest until Virginia’s Avery Shoemaker broke free and gave UVA a lead it would never give up. Here are the superlatives from the game.

The big moment: Shoemaker’s goahead goal

Shoemaker caught the ball and lined up against her defender. As the clock ticked under four minutes with the game tied at 15, UVA had

a chance to take a late lead against the Orange. She drove on her defender before breaking into open space and firing. Syracuse goalie Asa Goldstock stuck her leg out but the ball bounced under her and into the back of the net.

Stud: Kasey Behr

Virginia’s Kasey Behr was all over the place on Sunday afternoon, making her mark in multiple areas. She led the Cavaliers with four goals, opening the second half with a goal in what became a 5-1 Virginia run. Behr added an assist, six draw controls and even forced a pair of caused turnovers in the win. On a day where both teams battled offensively, Behr took advantage and broke down the SU defense.

Dud: Draw Controls

The previous loss of sophomore draw-control specialist Morgan Widner for the remainder of the season with a knee injury hurt Syracuse

on Sunday. After a five-goal run late in the first half put the Orange up, 8-4, the Cavaliers won three of the ensuing four draw controls and used a 4-0 run of its own to tie the game. SU finished just 7-for-18 in the first half and those struggles carried over into the second half. The Cavaliers won five straight to open the frame and ended up winning the draw-control competition, 20 to 14.

Highlight: Emily Hawryschuk’s goal

Hawryschuk got possession and worked her way toward the UVA cage before being tripped up and falling to the ground. With no call on the play and a Virginia player trying to poke the ball loose, Hawryschuk got up and kept driving. She pushed her way through multiple Cavalier defenders before beating goalie Rachel Vander Kolk for Syracuse’s first goal of the second half. Hawryschuk finished with four goals, but none came more challenging

than the Orange’s first possession to open the final half.

Lowlight: Virginia’s 5-1 run to open second half

Syracuse pulled away from UVA during the last minute-and-a-half in the opening frame, taking a two-goal lead on the Cavaliers. But the second half was a complete 180 with Virginia dominating. Outside of Hawryschuk’s goal, Virginia dominated in almost every aspect during its run. It went 5-for-6 on draw controls and outshot the Orange 8-1. The Orange had not given up more than 12 goals this season before Sunday — and not seven minutes into the second stanza, the Cavaliers scored goal No. 13. SU goalie Asa Goldstock struggled in the second half, unable to stop Virginia’s offense that constantly pressured the Orange. csdistur@syr.edu | @charliedisturco

SU beats George Mason and Monmouth at Patriot Classic By Eric Black

asst. copy editor

Syracuse (10-6) won both its games on the last day of the Patriot Classic on Sunday, beating Monmouth (4-3) and tournament host George Mason (4-7). The 6-1 win against the Hawks served as revenge after the Orange fell to the New Jersey school in eight innings on Saturday, while the 11-6 victory over the Patriots was the second in as many days for SU. Alexa Romero started Sunday’s opener against Monmouth, her third appearance this weekend, and showed no signs of fatigue. The sophomore opened the game with six shutout innings before giving up the lone run in the seventh inning, finishing the complete game with eight strikeouts and her seventh win of the year. The Orange provided her with an early lead thanks to a Hawks error on a fly ball that allowed Sammy Fernandez to score

in the top of the first. Syracuse was held scoreless the next three innings before breaking the game open in the fifth. Toni Martin, who had a team-high two RBI, earned both on a triple to push SU’s lead to 3-0. She scored on the next at-bat thanks to a Fernandez single up the middle, one of the shortstop’s three hits in the game. Two more players tallied RBI in the final inning, as back-to-back base hits by Alicia Hansen and Bryce Holmgren drove in the final runs of the game for the Orange. Syracuse kept its offense rolling against George Mason in the second game of the doubleheader, scoring seven runs in the first four innings. The scoring began in the first, when two errors on a Gabby Teran ground ball resulted in Fernandez scoring from first base. SU kept it up in the following inning, as back-to-back-to-back hits by Hansen, Holmgren and Teran brought the Orange’s run

total to five. Another error by the Patriots on a Neli Casares-Maher single in the fourth inning scored Teran and Holmgren, but the SU scoring streak was halted there.

Lailoni Mayfield led Syracuse with 3 RBI in the Orange’s win over George Mason

AnnaMarie Gatti began in the circle for Syracuse, pitching three scoreless innings before the Orange unraveled in the bottom of the fourth. Four hits and an error resulted in four runs (one earned) and George Mason

cut the SU lead to 7-4. The Patriots loaded the bases with two outs, but Baylee Douglass’ strikeout in relief of Gatti got the Orange out of the inning. An RBI single by Martin gave Syracuse an insurance run in the top of the fifth, but it was the following inning that SU iced the game for good. Designated hitter Lailoni Mayfield’s bases-clearing triple upped the Orange’s lead to seven and it was nearly more, if not for Mayfield being thrown out at home attempting to go for an inside-the-park home run. The Patriots scored two runs and loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom half of the inning in one last comeback attempt, but Miranda Hearn got three-straight outs to end the threat. Syracuse begins conference play next weekend when it travels to Blacksburg, Virginia, to face Virginia Tech for a threegame series. erblack@syr.edu

defense presses opposing defenses and thrives in transition. But opportunities were few and far between on Sunday. Virginia’s success in transition comes from its “5-on-5” offense, Tiffany added. After a defensive stop, UVA tries to trap an offensive middie into rushing back on defense. Then with an extra slide, one of the Cavaliers’ top offensive weapons might draw the offensive middie and beat him with ease. “We like that scenario,” Tiffany said. “… (But) they were taking the ball away from some of our best midfielders.” Normally, that works with the help of twoway midfielder Ryan Conrad. He scored two goals last year against Syracuse and opened the scoring for UVA on a transition goal off a faceoff win. Late in the first half, however, as he crossed into the attacking third, he dropped to the ground. After play stopped, he tried dragging himself over to his stick that lay a few feet to his side. He left the game and never returned. The loss of Conrad, especially in transition, put a less offensive-minded midfielder on Syracuse’s player that was forced to cross into the defensive third. And of that 5-on-5 mentality, four of the five Virginia players were forced to dodge on longpoles. Instead of always being under constant attack because of minimal possession time, Syracuse was able to be the aggressor. The offense was able to work the ball around and give the defense time to recuperate. And once Virginia had the ball, SU pressured outside the box and while UVA was subbing, which didn’t allow the team to “get into our sets,” Aitken said. Virginia’s offense usually succeeds in transition after winning faceoffs and scoring immediately afterward. It couldn’t do that against Syracuse. Syracuse gained extra possession time from sophomore Danny Varello’s success at the faceoff X, something that Syracuse had

lacked in its two games prior. “What Varello and his wings were able to do and get those extra possessions really kept us down for those three quarters,” Tiffany said. Over the last two games, Varello had won just eight of 27 faceoffs, putting an extra workload on the defense. On Sunday, he drew another tall task: beating the seventh-ranked faceoff specialist in the country, Justin Schwenk. Varello won that battle, finishing 16-for-26. The majority of the faceoffs weren’t clean either — Varello had just three ground balls. The wings often included a combination of longpoles Austin Fusco, Brett Kennedy and Jared Fernandez. Those three combined for 13 ground balls. “We were able to start winning faceoffs, that changed things,” Desko said. “Less transi-

tion off the faceoff (for UVA) … The tide started to swing when we started to win faceoffs.” The defense began to crack, however, as the fourth quarter progressed. Two separate times, Virginia scored, won the ensuing faceoff and scored again within a minute. The offense that averaged 15.5 goals per game and had never scored under 13 goals began gaining momentum. Mike D’Amario scored three straight goals in less than four minutes for Virginia after being he was held scoreless in the previous 50 minutes. That came, Desko said, from the defense not guarding him. He was constantly left open “in the crease.” Errors also ensued. One time, after a faceoff win, Fusco tried passing the ball back to Madonna and it sailed out of bounds. UVA scored 14 seconds later.

UVA’s 6-1 fourth-quarter run tied the game at 11, as Jared Conners tied the game with just over a minute remaining. Varello jogged back out onto the field to take the game’s most important faceoff. Last week, he won all three in overtime despite his weak performance. As the whistle blew, Varello and Schwenk grinded at the faceoff X. Fernandez quickly came in from the wing and scooped the ground ball. Not a minute-and-a-half later, freshman Tucker Dordevic scored the game-winner. In Virginia’s 1000th game as a program, it had the opportunity for a come-from-behind victory. But on the back of its season-worst 19 turnovers, Syracuse’s defense and faceoff success spoiled that potential celebration. csdistur@syr.edu | @charliedisturco

No. 1 North Carolina dominates SU, 6-1 By KJ Edelman staff writer

No. 1 North Carolina (14-1, 3-0 Atlantic Coast) handed Syracuse (9-2, 2-2) its second loss of the season in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Sunday. SU’s lone point came from No. 18 Gabriela Knutson, who defeated her second ranked opponent in three days. The No. 19 doubles pairing of Knutson and Miranda Ramirez struggled against No. 9 Jessie Aney and Alexa Graham in the first slot, losing 2-6. Knutson and Ramirez’s defeat marks their first loss in doubles this season after winning seven straight. After a simultaneous loss in second doubles from SU’s Dina Hegab and Masha Tritou against No. 20 Sara Daavettila and Alle Sanford, the Orange dropped its first doubles point since Feb. 9. Sofya Golubovskaya and Anna Shkudun were up 4-1 in their doubles match versus UNC’s Makenna Jones and Marika Akkerman when the match was ended early. To open up singles, No. 28 Daavettila clobbered Ramirez in second singles, 1-6, 0-6, to give UNC its second point of the game. Sunday’s match against Daavettila marked Ramirez’s worst performance of the season, winning one game in two sets. Shkudun fell to No. 93 Graham in fourth singles, 2-6, 0-6, while Libi Mesh lost to No. 32 Aney in the fifth slot, 2-6, 3-6, to clinch the match for UNC. Hegab opened up her singles match against UNC’s Chloe Ouellet-Pizer by splitting the first six games in set one. After dropping three of the next four games, Hegab ultimately fell to Ouellet-Pizer, 4-6, 3-6. After picking up a win against Virginia Tech’s No. 61 Natalie Novotna on Friday, No. 18 Knutson looked to add to her strong resume against UNC’s No. 8 Sanford. The match came down to tiebreaks in both sets. Knutson, who split two tiebreakers in Friday’s match, came up clutch and fought off Sanford in two sets, 7-6, 7-6, to put the Orange on the board. With two victories against top 100 players this weekend, Knutson’s ITA ranking will improve. Golubovskaya took the first set against No. 15 Jones, 6-2, in her first match against a ranked opponent in her collegiate career, but fell behind in the second set. With the overall match clinched for the Tar Heels, Golubovskaya’s singles match went to a super tiebreaker in the third set. After falling behind 4-10, Golubovskaya gave UNC its sixth point of the day in a convincing loss, 6-2, 5-7, 0-1 (4-10). kjedelma@syr.edu

virginia game of runs. Eventually No.7 Syracuse (3-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) couldn’t keep pace with No. 11 Virginia (5-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) in a 17-16 SU loss. After once leading by four goals in the first half, Syracuse couldn’t hang on. The Orange led UVA in fouls committed, and was outscored in the second half 9-6 leading to the loss. “We just have to make stops and make some plays,” Syracuse head coach Gary Gait said. “It was a tough day. They are a good team, they can shoot the ball and they can score. They did it all today.” After limiting teams to no more than 12 goals in its first three games this season, Syracuse allowed 13 to UVA just more than halfway into the game. In the Orange’s first ACC battle of the season, it played its first game within a six-goal margin this season and couldn’t hold onto its early leads. Midway through the first half, Nicole Levy caught a feed out in front of the net. As she ran across the crease toward the right side of

dordevic last two games, the Orange committed just eight turnovers and fired 43 shots, 13 more than its opponent. In weeks past, Syracuse struggled to possess the ball. Against UVA it drew five stall warnings. In a game where Syracuse’s offensive production sped up, its working rate slowed down. “We didn’t know how much we were going to have the ball on offense,” Desko said. “So when we did have it, we had to be efficient when we had the ball.” Two weeks ago against Albany, Syracuse struggled to retain possession. It lost 17 of the 22 draws to Albany faceoff guru TD Ierlan and held the ball for around 90 seconds in the third quarter. Against UVA, and the seventh-ranked faceoff specialist Justin Schwenk, SU controlled play with its offense. In the first half, Syracuse held the ball for extended time on several possessions, waiting for the right opportunity. During one of the Orange’s three first-half stall warnings, Brendan Bomberry held the ball at the top right of the restraining box. With the shot clock dwindling, the senior dished the ball to a streaking Bradley Voigt, who flicked an underhand shot in for a goal. Eight minutes and another stall warning passed before SU scored again. As Dordevic drove to the left side, the defenders knew what was coming. Players called it out from the

sideline, Dordevic said. Still, it didn’t matter. The Oregon native spun back to his right and cranked a goal. Fifty-five seconds into the second half, Dordevic struck again. This time he caught a cross-field pass from Stephen Rehfuss and loaded his stick down low to the ground. The shot skimmed the ground past UVA goalkeeper Alex Rode.

I wasn’t too pleased with the last three games and how I played. So I just thought I had to step up. Tucker Dordevic

syracuse midfielder

“I was just feeling it the whole day,” Dordevic said. “I wasn’t too pleased with the last three games and how I played. So I just thought I had to step up.” One of the games Dordevic mentioned he wasn’t happy with was a 15-3 loss to Albany. After the historically bad loss, which included Syracuse’s lowest offensive output under Desko, sophomore midfielder Jamie Trimboli said the offense needed to be better. He said with the lack of possession in the game, his team had rushed to produce offensively. “We just didn’t play smart ball,” Trimboli said on Feb. 22. “Some guys, including

myself, were taking some stuff out of frustration that we don’t usually do.” Against UVA, he and the rest of the offense took a different approach. In the fourth quarter, Dordevic scooped the ball up off a Virginia turnover. When the freshman turned around toward the rest of his offense, they all provided a similar message. Nearly in unison, Trimboli, Rehfuss and Nate Solomon all raised their hands and waved them down, telling their offense to calm down. It didn’t need to rush. When the ball made its way to Trimboli on the left side of the cage more than a minute later, the midfielder finished with his left hand, pushing Syracuse’s lead to four. Then UVA stormed back, scoring four goals in 10 minutes. With the game tied and less than a minute remaining, SU midfielder David Lipka scooped the ball and flushed in a goal while the whistle blew. The goal didn’t count. Desko had called timeout. During that timeout, while the Orange drew up a play that didn’t work, UVA head coach Lars Tiffany discussed matchups with his defense. He knew who would cover the potent Orange attackers of Trimboli, Rehfuss and Solomon. But there was one SU threat left out. “It was like ugh, who’s got Tucker,” Tiffany said of the meeting. “Who’s going to guard this guy, he’s got really good speed.” Tiffany was right. SU’s top point-scorers weren’t open on the first play. So, Syracuse waited and patience paid off, leading to the Dordevic game-winner. jlschafe@syr.edu | @Schafer_44

the cage, her shooting lane was blocked. So, instead of a standard right-handed shot, the junior attack whipped her stick around and scored from behind her back. She dropped her stick, clapped her hands and welcomed her teammates in for celebration. SU, then up two goals, was rolling.

It was a tough day. They are a good team, they can shoot the ball and they can score. They did it all today. Gary Gait

syracuse head coach

Minutes later, Levy cranked a shot to the top left of the net and SU led 8-4, but it wouldn’t last. The Orange lost the ensuing draw and UVA scored on a free position

shot. Then it scored again, and again. Virginia won 20 draw controls to SU’s 14, often leading to its scoring runs. And that trend carried over into the second half. Fifteen seconds into the second frame, UVA scored. After winning a draw, Kasey Behr darted down the right alley toward SU’s cage. The senior midfielder cocked back her shot and ripped in a goal. On Syracuse’s next possession, Emily Hawryschuk responded. The sophomore attack fell to the ground after contact with a UVA defender. No foul was called, so Hawryschuk stood up, pushed through several defenders and finished the ball in the back of the cage. “I think we were playing great and then late in the second half we could’ve been more patient,” Gait said. “We forced some feeds and turned the ball over way too many times.” Following the Hawryschuk goal, SU’s offense stalled and UVA made its first run of the second half. After scoring threestraight goals, all of which came off UVA draw controls, Ana Hagerup controlled the ball in the back corner of the field.

SU’s defense all faced Hagerup and shifted toward her. It neglected Behr on the far side of the defense. Hagerup launched a lofting pass over the heads of SU’s defenders to a darting Behr who rifled a shot, beating SU goalkeeper Asa Goldstock to the top left of the net. Virginia’s 5-1 run to start the second stanza ended there with the Cavaliers leading 13-11. The Orange slowly clawed back, scoring two goals in the games next 10 minutes to knot the game. As the team’s traded goals, Virginia eventually pulled away. SU scored once after Kelly’s goal but it wasn’t enough. With the ball on Virginia’s side of the field and SU trailing by one, SU gained possession of a groundball. But the whistle blew. Syracuse was offside. On its last possession of the game, the Orange handed the ball back to Virginia. “It’s just about being focused and being ready to make the next play,” Gait said. “We made a lot of mental errors in the second half and missed opportunities.” jlschafe@syr.edu | @Schafer_44

Battle, Brissett earn ACC honors By Michael McCleary asst. digital editor

SU employs methodical offense to down UVA, 12-11

Three Syracuse players – Tyus Battle, Oshae Brissett and Frank Howard – earned recognition from the ACC, the league announced in a release Sunday afternoon. Battle received the most prestigious honor of the three, being named to the all-ACC second team. He was followed by Brissett, who was named to the conference’s allrookie team. Howard received five votes for most improved player in the conference, tied for the second-most behind only North Carolina forward Luke Maye. Battle, Howard and Brissett have been the Orange’s go-to players all season long. Each player plays at least 10.6 minutes more than the player who’s seen the fourth-highest minutes per game – Brissett’s 37.9 minutes per game, the lowest of SU’s top three players, is followed by Paschal Chukwu’s 27.3 minutes per game. The trio also leads Syracuse in scoring with Battle, Howard and Brissett scoring 20.0, 15.2 and 14.7 points per game, respectively.

HARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Syracuse’s play didn’t work. Instead of forcing the shot, the SU attack spun the ball around the perimeter once more. When Tucker Dordevic received the ball with less than 20 seconds remaining, the Orange had waited long enough.

It’s been 1,464 days since March 1, 2014, when Virginia won its last regular-season Atlantic Coast Conference game

Dordevic gathered himself at the top of the Virginia defense. The freshman midfielder faked a move left to the inside and rolled back to his right. A few steps out of his move, he launched his careerhigh fourth goal of the game, sealing the game for SU. “We had run a play,” Syracuse head coach John Desko said, “and we knew coming out of the play we didn’t want to force it and take it because there was still a lot of time left on the clock. So the guys showed some composure.” Dordevic’s final goal, the game-winner, emulated the offensive patience which launched No. 12 Syracuse (3-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) past No. 5 Virginia (4-1, 0-1), 12-11, at Klockner Stadium on Sunday.

Defense, faceoffs lead SU over Virginia By Charlie DiSturco senior staff writer

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Syracuse’s defense has been its strongest attribute throughout the season. It’s what has kept the Orange within striking distance for the majority of every game, and a big factor in No. 12 SU’s triple-overtime comeback win a week ago. On Sunday, against a run-and-gun transition offense like No. 4 Virginia’s, the defense had its hands full. Right away, Syracuse’s defense was tested, and the group

made its presence known. Three minutes into the game, UVA’s second-leading scorer, Ian Laviano, tried backing down redshirt sophomore Nick Mellen. But the preseason All-American quickly tomahawked down and knocked the stick out of Laviano’s hand. Mellen scooped the ball and fired upfield, where Tyler Ford eventually scored the first goal of the game. Syracuse’s defense continued its dominant performance on Sunday at Klockner Stadium, forcing 19 total turnovers and limiting Vir-

ginia to just one goal in the second and third quarters combined. Despite the Cavaliers’ (4-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) late comeback in the fourth quarter, SU’s (3-1, 1-0) defense remained strong, staving off the potential comeback in a 12-11 win. For the fourth-straight year the Orange beat Virginia, which has not won an ACC regular-season game since March of 2014. “Playing fast and playing physical, not letting them get comfortable with what they want to do,” goalie Dom Madonna, who finished

the game with 10 saves, said. “They want to get you spinning around.” For the first three quarters, Virginia’s offense looked uncomfortable, Virginia head coach Lars Tiffany said. Sophomore midfielder Dox Aitken said Syracuse’s defense “did a really nice job getting us out of our rhythm.” That came from the defense constantly pressuring the Virginia offense, resulting in errant passes or loose ground balls. The fourthranked Cavaliers offense normally see defense page 9

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Syracuse’s Asa Goldstock tapped her stick to the left goalpost and bent her knees as she readied for a free-position shot. Virginia’s Daniela Kelly charged at Goldstock with Syracuse players trailing her, unable to defend the shot. Kelly bounced the shot past Goldstock for a two-goal lead Virginia wouldn’t lose.
