Brendel drops out of race

Candidate suspends campaign, endorses Mastoloni for president

SU Advance promotes women in STEM fields

a.m.

By Danielle Bertolini

staff writer

Women earn less than 20 percent of degrees awarded in engineering, computer sciences and physics, according to a 2015 study by the National Science Foundation.

That’s something SU ADVANCE is working to change.

A resource for diversity and inclusion on campus, the program on Syracuse University’s campus seeks to remove the obstacles that deter women from STEM fields — science, technology, engineering and math.

SU ADVANCE executive director Marie Garland said it focuses on four key areas, including networking and recruiting, to make the university a better place for women in STEM to work.

Implemented on the SU campus in 2010, the program is funded through a grant from the National Science Foundation. Garland said several SU faculty members pursued the grant several years ago after seeing the opportunity to create change in a sometimes-overlooked area.

“We’re much more of a resource than people recognize,” Garland said. “We hear from faculty that they did not realize how helpful some of the things we can provide are until they had them.”

tain goals, including faculty search processes and the quality of interactions women in STEM have in their fields. Garland believes these guidelines benefit the program by holding it accountable for its work.

Garland said it’s easy to look at the increase of women in STEM positions on campus. She added, however, you

can’t easily measure how dedicated faculty members are when it comes to building an inclusive university.

However, it’s not just faculty members who benefit from SU ADVANCE’s resources. Garland said students are able to thrive because of the program, making connections that might otherwise be unavailable.

Garland made it clear she’s invested in SU ADVANCE’s initiatives.

“I’m passionate about workplace equity,” she said. “It’s really rewarding to engage those issues and questions, knowing that I can make a difference for people in their everyday lives.” dbertoli@syr.edu

Block Party sells out Concert organizers open more seating for sale on Wednesday

SARAH KOENIG, journalist and creator of the podcast “Serial,” spoke Tuesday night in a University Lecture about the process of finding and reporting on the story that is the basis of the podcast’s first season. ally moreo contributing photographer

‘Serial’ creator describes start of podcast

By Yelisa Leiva contributing writer

Muffled white noise from radios and excerpts of recollections from the podcast “Serial” resonated throughout Hendricks Chapel. As the light slowly dimmed, Sarah Koenig mysteriously appeared from behind the giant projector in the middle of the stage.

Koenig spoke to a crowd of a few hundred Syracuse community members inside Hendricks at Syracuse University on Tuesday night as the last speaker in this semester’s University Lecture series.

Koenig said “Serial,” the successful podcast she created, has had more than 200 million downloads since its release in 2014, and from every single country except for North Korea and Eritrea.

“Serial” was not Koenig’s initial plan. Instead, she thought about telling an important news story in the span of one week. She bluntly named the podcast “This Week.”

When she told her peers of her plans, she said that no one would look her in the face.

“It was horrible,” she said with a laugh.

Almost resentful, but compliant with her idea, Koenig’s boss asked, “Before we commit, do you have any other ideas?”

On a whim, Koenig suggested to do the opposite of “This Week,” and do a series of episodes about an event or case, presenting the birth of “Serial.”

The first season of “Serial” centered on the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee, whose body was found in Baltimore’s Leakin Park. Lee’s boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was arrested

for the crime and is currently serving his sentence in prison.

It was like asking for a sweater and someone handed you an angry ball of yarn.

Sarah Koenig creator of “serial”

Delving into her process of investigation for the case, Koenig said it was extremely difficult to find people who would be willing to do an interview. Eventually, she had to mainly rely on the Adnan Syed MPIA file, a pdf that contained 2,000 pages.

“It was like asking for a sweater and someone handed you an angry

ball of yarn,” she joked.

The most intriguing part of the MPIA was the man Mr. S, who was the one who found Lee’s body in the park, and was the first on the police’s suspect list, Koenig said.

Koenig showed the audience the specific reports on the large projector behind her, zooming in on highlighted passages. One of the passages included when Mr. S reported a crime theft, where he said someone stole his clothes and wallet on the same day that Lee was murdered.

Additionally, she noted that there was a different report that described a naked man walking down the street that same day, which was revealed to be Mr. S, proving the odd holes in the murder case.

Biden to speak at college’s commencement in May

By Alexa Torrens news editor

Vice President Joe Biden will speak at the Syracuse University College of Law commencement ceremony on May 13, the university announced Tuesday.

Biden, a Class of 1968 College of Law alumnus, will deliver the commencement address on May 13 at 1 p.m. in the Carrier Dome, according to an SU News release.

Biden also delivered SU’s commencement address in 2009 and received an honorary degree from the university at that ceremony. He delivered the commencement address for the College of Law in 1994, 2002 and 2006.

BIDEN B i d e n was last on campus in November

2015 to promote “It’s On Us,” the White House’s campaign against sexual assault. He also attended the men’s Final Four game in Houston, where he spoke to the Syracuse men’s basketball team following its loss to the University of North Carolina.

Biden’s son, Beau, who died in May 2015 following a battle with brain cancer, was a Class of 1994 College of Law alumnus.

“Vice President Biden is a

treasured member of the College of Law family and we are excited to bring him back this May,” said College of Law Interim Dean William Banks in the release. “He is always generous with his time, insight and leadership to the College of Law and I am sure he will deliver a poignant speech and provide our graduates and their families and friends with a memorable day.” atorrens@syr.edu

As of Tuesday night, tickets to University Union’s Block Party had sold out in record time, so the organization is opening up more seating in the Carrier Dome.

UU originally allotted 9,800 tickets for Block Party, but since those tickets sold out so quickly, it is opening up a third tier of seating in the Carrier Dome to allow for an additional 3,000 tickets to be sold, according to an email from UU. The same ticket prices will apply for these additional seats — $25 for Syracuse University and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students and $30 for the general public. These additional tickets will be available to purchase on Ticketmaster beginning at 10 a.m. on Wednesday.

DJ duo The Chainsmokers and Chicago-based hip-hop artist Chance The Rapper will co-headline this year’s Block Party on April 29. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Carrier Dome. smswann@syr.edu @saramswann

Syracuse University will be holding a memorial service next week for Britny Kabic, an SU student who died in February.

The service will be held in the main chapel of Hendricks Chapel on April 20 at 4:30 p.m., according to an email sent to students in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications by Rosanna Grassi, associate dean for student affairs

in Newhouse. A reception will follow the service in the Nobel Room in the lower level of Hendricks Chapel.

All are welcome to attend the memorial service, the email said.

Professor discusses role of disability in court decisions

By Conor Ried staff writer

In the past, laws about people with disabilities were cruel. For example, parents — on the behalf of their children — used to be able to sue hospitals for failing to prevent births of their children who were born with disabilities.

As a researcher and advocate for disability rights, Sagit Mor is interested in these lawsuits and how the climate in Israel and around the world has changed when it comes to disability rights.

Mor, a visiting professor at the University of Washington for the 2015-16 academic year and senior lecturer at University of Haifa Faculty of Law in Israel, spoke at Syracuse University on Tuesday afternoon as part of the Disability Law and Policy Program’s spring lecture series.

from page 1

brendel “They are far more qualified for this position than their opponents.”

Brendel submitted a second statement on his decision to The D.O. on Tuesday night.

Aside from Mastoloni and Brosofsky, who both have past experience in SA, the only remaining pair running for president and vice president, respectively, is Eric Evangelista and Joyce LaLonde. Evangelista is currently the longest-serving member of SA and serves as

The general theme of Mor’s lecture was that disability is not a defining character trait, but that society views people with disabilities differently than people who do not have disabilities.

Mor advocates for much more research to be done in disability legal studies so that the views toward people with disabilities can change in the court system, change in society and bring about a general change in how those who have disabilities are treated.

This is not the first time that Mor has come to SU. She spoke at the university 10 years ago when the College of Law’s Disability Law and Policy Program was first formed. She came back, she said, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the 50th anniversary of the publishing of Jacobus tenBroek’s “The Right to Live in the World: The Disabled in the Law of Torts,” a

SA recorder. LaLonde has never served in SA. Before dropping out of the race, Brendel contacted Mastoloni’s campaign to request a position in Mastoloni’s administration if he were to win the election, said Austin Galovski, Mastoloni’s campaign manager.

“I basically told him, ‘Hey look, we’re good with this on our end, and we’ll totally help you with whatever you want to do,’” Galovski said. mdburk01@syr.edu

book that advocates for disability rights.

On Tuesday, Mor said disabilities have a major impact on public law, such as tort law, which encompasses the laws of injuries and accidents. Tort laws assign responsibility for civil wrongs, and the aim of torts is to provide relief to sufferers and to deter other people from creating similar situations in which injuries and accidents may occur, Mor said.

Current tort laws in regard to people with disabilities can only do so much, she said, adding that there is a need to re-conceptualize the compensations given to people with disabilities who suffer injuries or are part of accidents.

And in order to get compensation, Mor said, people with disabilities have to prove that they are miserable and that they couldn’t live without the compensation.

“Lawyers have a role to either show the

“It’s interesting how much you truly know what is going on in their minds,” she said.

misery or prove no misery,” she said.

Mor also spoke about her work researching legal actions brought by parents who have children with disabilities — wrongful birth and wrongful life claims.

Wrongful birth claims are lawsuits brought by parents that claim health service providers failed to notify them of their child’s potential disability before birth.

Wrongful life claims are slightly different. They involve a child suing — or parents suing on behalf of their child — a health service provider or another party for failing to prevent the child’s own birth.

The reasons that parents pursue these claims range from not wanting to forgo the costs of raising a child with disabilities and the idea of “not having a perfect child,” Mor said. clried@syr.edu

that he never thoroughly talked about his case other than with his mother and his younger brother, and as it so happened, Koenig as well.

“He was saying, ‘Do not burn me, I’m trusting you with my story,’” she said, waving a fist in the air.

Looking across the audience with an earnest expression, she ended her lecture by saying, “Now it’s said that we all have a smaller attention span. But really, as shown through ‘Serial,’ we really have the patience for journalism that takes its time.” yleiva@syr.edu

Students should recognize SA’s value

S

tudent Association: By the students, for the students.

With Syracuse University’s SA elections this week, the campus will elect student body leadership for the 2016-17 school year. The two president and vice president pairs on the ballot are the Eric Evangelista-Joyce LaLonde ticket and Charlie Mastoloni and Jessica Brosofsky, respectively.

Election season — for any office — tends to call more attention to the job. And with this year’s SA election, all eyes are on the initiatives of the new candidates and the successes and failures of the current leadership. While there is a lot of buzz surrounding the association right now, more students should realize that SA does a lot more “behind the scenes� work than most would think throughout the entire year.

Even though it’s not always possible to see the impact of the changes made, SA fights to improve students’ day-to-day lives and campus infrastructure.

Because the association is a force that drives real change on campus, students should do their part to vote and provide their input after informed candidate research — not just vote based on the names they hear the most. Â

WHO ARE THE CANDIDATES? The current candidates on the Student Association ballot are Eric Evangelista and Joyce LaLonde alongside Charlie Mastoloni and Jessica Brosofsky. Mastoloni and Brosofsky both have past experience in SA while Evangelista is currently the longest-serving member of the association. LaLonde has never served in SA before.

It can be difficult to see the presence of SA as a real mover and shaker on campus because,

RASHIKA JAIPURIAR SO HIP, SO COOL, SO COLLEGE

especially during election season, it seems like high school student government 2.0: the ultimate popularity contest and resume booster. But one of the flashiest SA accomplishments and the best embodiment of student life this year was providing free transportation to the men’s and women’s Final Four basketball games. That was a key moment that demonstrated how SA deals with real-life, universal, student matters — not just bureaucratic initiatives and committees.

But looking past that cynical view of bureaucracy, SA’s work shows that the association can have a genuinely positive effect on campus affairs.

In the past year, under SA President Aysha Seedat and Vice President Jane Hong, the association implemented heated lamps at bus stops, began the syllabi visibility project and laid significant groundwork for the proposed bike-sharing program.

So while the university community has seen demonstrations before, like the 2014 campus protests by THE General Body, SA acts as a formal channel to the administration for campus activism and gives more credibility to the undergraduate voice, so students don’t have to pull out their marching shoes and picket signs every time they need to protest.

Though there has been debate over whether SA is an association or a government, this issue should take less precedence than other problems on campus. Whatever it’s officially called, SA has to represent and defend the entire student body at SU — no easy task considering the wide range

of issues currently on the table, including a student athletic fee, diversity, sexual assault and the extension of library hours.

No matter how big or small, students’ grievances and concerns can only be addressed if the student body actively and intelligently participates in voting. For example, when it comes to the  hot topic of on- and off-campus security, some have expressed hesitance to call SU’s Department of Public Safety for a ride home at night. But because students may feel not “unsafe� enough to warrant a ride, some have called for a “no questions asked� system that would ensure students are safe rather than sorry.

When proposals like this are a part of the campaigns presented, it becomes clear that students need to vote to get things done.  And when voting at SU lacks party affiliation, this decision is made easier and more issue-centric. This factor helps voters focus solely on the candidates’ propositions. Rather than getting swayed by peers or the excessive “Vote for X� or “Vote for Y� messages in group chats, students should read about each candidate pair and their specific plans to make an informed vote.

As of Monday night, 11.5 percent of the student body had voted. In last year’s election, 24.1 percent of the entire student body has taken part in the election, but these low voter turnouts should encourage more people to cast their vote and elect a leadership that truly reflects the student body.

editorial board

SA diversity position should be supported The Daily Orange Editorial Board supports the creation of a director of diversity affairs within the Syracuse University Student Association.

The initiative was introduced at an SA meeting earlier this month by Vice President Jane Hong who said the ideal person in the position would serve as a student representative to different diversity leadership councils at SU that currently only consist of faculty and staff. The member would focus “solely on diversity affairs as it pertains to our student body,� Hong said in an interview with The Daily Orange.

The creation of such a role has the potential to bridge substantial gaps between different student groups, staff, faculty and the administration. And though there has never been a position like a director of diversity affairs in SA, the proposal comes at a feasible time during which each pair running for president and vice president of the 60th session of SA has named diversity and inclusion as primary components of their platforms.

On the basis of communication, Hong said one of the longterm goals she would like to see with the role is the creation of a committee that would have representatives from the university’s international and cultural organizations to alleviate the current campus climate of self-segregation among minority groups.

While the specifics of the position have not yet been finalized, the goals of the initiative to

amplify these channels of communication and minimize polarization are clear enough and the flexibility of the role allows a qualified student to define it as they see fit. And this ability to adjust accordingly in the best interest of the campus should be commended for the fact that negative consequences are in no way foreseen at a time when diversity, inclusion and representation are heavily discussed and frequently called for.

With only until Thursday to cast votes for SA leadership and certain campus initiatives, SU students should work to foster a healthier campus climate by voting to establish a director of diversity affairs position on SA’s MySlice ballot.

mastoloni Within 10 minutes, the decision was made.

That decision came years after — and is perhaps the product of — the moment that ignited Mastoloni’s passion for community service.

He had entered high school as the new kid.

While his friends went to public school, he enrolled at Connecticut’s Fairfield College Preparatory School. After a few days, he didn’t like school, so he threw a tantrum and refused to go. His parents, after a few days, relented.

While sitting outside the public school waiting to make the transfer official, he suddenly felt in his heart that he made the wrong decision.

“You can kid yourself all you want,” Mastoloni said. “But you’re going to end up where you’re supposed to be — even though that’s awfully corny.”

Though he returned to Fairfield Prep, he still hadn’t fully bought in. A Jesuit school with a “More for Others” motto hadn’t convinced him.

“Of course I thought (the slogan) was bullsh*t,” Mastoloni said, dropping his voice

The presidential candidate appealed to

to a mock-angsty teen. “I just wanted to go do my own thing, man.”

Later that year, Fairfield Prep hosted students from Bridgeport, a struggling industrial city, to play games. When the kids paired off toward the end of the day after dodgeball, Mastoloni talked with one boy and discovered they were both New York Yankees fans.

The boy had never been to Yankee Stadium.

That surprised the son of a New York City pearl salesman who’d been to plenty of games.

“It makes you want to help him go see a freakin’ Yankee game,” Mastoloni said. “I’d never been involved in community service before, but that’s (what started) me wanting to help others. It makes you happier. That’s what it comes down to.”

He rebuilt homes in Appalachia and volunteered at the Boys & Girls Club. He said his work, combined with a passion for SU that started at birth with his alumna mother and their orange Christmas tree ornaments, makes him the most qualified candidate.

“I don’t want to come across as this wise, old sage, but I think (my experience) gives

me a chance to see different perspectives and social norms,” Mastoloni said. “Sometimes you’re not necessarily always right. I recognize that other students have perspectives. I want to know them.”

That prompted the listening tour. Mastoloni and Brosofsky have met with 11 student organizations and many individual students to hear their thoughts on campus-wide issues. It’s Mastoloni’s take on his role model Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s “fireside chats,” which he used to increase transparency during his presidency.

Alpha Phi Alpha is concerned about Chancellor Kent Syverud cutting funding to diversity programs. Students who don’t really understand SA want better email communication. Syracuse Stage students are forced to pay for meal plans they often can’t use. Mastoloni has noted them all.

“Charlie is an unorthodox individual,” said Boris Gresely, a former SA president and Mastoloni’s Phi Delta Theta fraternity brother who graduated SU in 2015. “Usually candidates see issues and act, but he’s doing the listening tour, which is the exact oppo-

site. I thought that was very innovative.”

Gresely first noticed Mastoloni when he gave a prepared speech while campaigning to be an assembly representative for the College of Arts and Sciences. Gresely looked around Maxwell Auditorium in surprise. No one, he said, nor anyone he was with had seen someone prepare a speech for assemblyman elections.

A year later, Mastoloni called Gresely and told him he was thinking about running for president.

“Why do you want to do it?” Gresely had asked.

“I couldn’t answer that question (as a sophomore),” Mastoloni said. “Now, from the experiences I’ve gained, I can.”

Previously working in SA is just one point of Mastoloni’s pitch. He said he wants students to realize his varied perspectives from abroad, as a new kid and a friend. Now, like in the Fairfield Prep classroom long ago, there needs to be a buy-in.

Before Mastoloni can “empower students,” the students must empower him.

those young people in the crowd by talking about the current state of higher education in the U.S. and how he would amend it as president. He equated the value of a college degree today to that of a high school degree 50 years ago, and said it’s time to rethink what public education means today.

That rethinking, he said, should include making tuition free to combat student debt.

“Young people getting an education

should be rewarded, not punished,” Sanders said before receiving a monstrous applause.

“We need the best-educated workforce in the world. We should make it easier for people to get the education they need, not harder.”

In an appeal to his supporters to get out and vote on April 19, Sanders laid out on Tuesday nearly every initiative he has championed throughout his campaign, from campaign finance reform to economic inequality to minority and women’s rights. He primarily focused on domestic policy, but veered into foreign policy on several occasions to criticize the U.S.’ interference in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Sanders began his speech by distinguishing the campaign fundraising tactics between he and his opponent in the Democratic race, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Sanders criticized the current campaign system for “corrupting democracy,” a phenomenon he thinks Clinton has a role in, considering she has several super PACs that he said have raised her tens of millions of dollars. Clinton, he said, has gained $25 million from special interests, including $15 million from Wall Street.

The senator has separated himself from super PACs and Wall Street funding, and said his campaign has raised more than $6 million in individual campaign contributions. The average contribution, he said, is $27.

Sanders also criticized Clinton for the amount of money she receives for giving speeches. Over the years, he said, Clinton has given speeches for $225,000 a piece.

“Now, seems to me if you’re going to get $225,000 a speech, it must be an extraordinarily brilliant speech,” Sanders said. “It must be a speech that would enlighten all of humanity, probably solve all of the crises facing our planet, must have been a speech written in Shakespearean prose.”

Sanders expanded upon his criticism of Clinton’s affiliation with Wall Street and super PACs to discuss economic inequality as it affects everyday Americans. He said the economy is worse today than it has been since 1928 — during the Great Depression — and slammed big businesses such as Walmart for paying their employees such low wages they are forced to go on Medicaid and food stamps to survive.

“And this is what is crazy, and this is what a rigged economy is about,” said Sanders, who supports raising the national minimum wage to $15. “It is the middle class paying more taxes to subsidize Walmart’s poor, unfair business practices.”

On that note, Sanders criticized Republicans for complaining about welfare abuse when, he said, the major, single welfare beneficiary in the U.S. is the country’s wealthiest family — the Waltons, who own Walmart.

“And I say to that family, get off of welfare, pay your workers a living wage,” he said.

Sanders also touched on the need to reform the country’s “broken” criminal justice system, especially in regard to police brutality and accountability and the war on drugs. The U.S. spends $80 billion per year to imprison 2.2 billion people, he said, adding that it is the wealthiest country in the history of the world but has the most people in jail out of every country in the world.

“China is a communist, authoritarian country four times our size. They don’t tolerate dissent all that well. We have more people in jail than China,” Sanders said.

“And together, we’re going to end that international difference.”

To end this issue, Sanders said it is important to ensure that police officers — like all public officials — are held accountable for breaking the law.

It’s also important, he said, to demilitarize local police departments and make sure the members of local police forces represent the diversity of the communities they are meant to protect.

Sanders said the U.S. must also “rethink the so-called war on drugs,” adding that “substance abuse is a health issue, not a criminal issue.” He said mental health treatment in the U.S. must be addressed in a bold way. People should receive treatment when they need it, he said, not six months after.

“A great nation is a nation that treats its most vulnerable people with respect,” he said.

BUTTING HEADS Partisan minimum wage fight plays out among Syracuse leaders

By Tara Tolton staff writer

A

fter see-sawing negotiations that lasted through the night, the New York State Legislature approved the latest budget at the beginning of April to boost the minimum wage to $15.

Although the budget passed, there has been wide dispute over the minimum wage hike in central New York, as Democrats in the area supported the minimum wage hike, while Republicans only approved the budget as a compromise to get other measures passed.

The bill was passed in a package deal that includes a new family leave plan, a tax break for the middle class beginning in 2018 and a record amount of aid for schools, amounting to $24.8 billion.

The state senate voted to pass the measure in an almost unanimous 61-1 vote.

Members in the assembly contested the raise, though it passed with a 104 to 39 vote.

Assemblywoman Pamela Hunter (D-Syracuse) and Assemblyman Gary Finch (R-Syracuse) both advocate for many of the same components in the budget, such as the Paid Family Leave Plan, which will pay for 12 weeks off work for family illnesses or newborns, and increased spending on infrastructure. But while Hunter said the package is one of the most progressive bills passed “in a long time,” Finch claims raising the minimum wage would be detrimental to the economy.

Hunter said the minimum wage fight is

not “a people thing,” but a partisan issue. To Hunter, the bill, along with the many benefits in the budget, will increase the money people have, thus increasing spending and spurring economic growth for Syracuse, which has long been plagued with economic stagnation and poverty, especially among minority groups.

But others disagree. According to a survey sent to local business owners by the office of Assemblyman William Barclay

$9

The current minimum wage in New York state

(R-Syracuse), 90 percent of respondents said they oppose the minimum wage increase.

Sixty-four percent of the respondents said they would be forced to lay off workers or close their businesses. Farmers expressed concerns that they would not be able to compete if their labor costs were much higher than surrounding states, according to the survey.

In order to comply with the wage hike, other business owners responded saying they would cut benefits and hire more qualified participants. Barclay said this would result in the decrease in employment opportunities for youth.

Finch, who is against raising the minimum wage, adds that he believes New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo will fail to provide the reimbursement needed for notfor-profit organizations to cover the wage increase, even though this is in the new budget plans, according to a press release from Finch’s office.

In another press release, Finch said the hike could be detrimental for senior citizens who live on a fixed income and have not seen a cost of living adjustment for two years.

Hunter doesn’t buy that argument.

“It’s really difficult when you represent the most indigent population in the country, which is the city of Syracuse, and has the highest concentration of poverty, especially for black(s) and Hispanics, and to sit there and say, ‘Well, companies can’t afford to pay’ (when) the people can’t afford to live. And I think there’s a way in which we have to do better,” she said.

All things considered, this compromise was not easy on either end, said New York state Sen. John DeFrancisco, one of the most vocally opposed to the minimum wage increase, in a Syracuse.com article.

Republicans, though opposed to the minimum wage increase, were able to secure the middle-class tax cut and the record school funding, according to the article.

“To vote against that compromise that I still didn’t like, I’d be voting against the record state aid and other good things thrown in the bill that were good,” DeFrancisco said. trtolton@syr.edu

Vera House works to educate community for Sexual Assault Awareness Month

By Alex Archambault asst. feature editor

S

he was a junior in college. It was her friend. They were drunk.

It would take her four years after she graduated in 2007 to actually say the words “I was raped” out loud.

“The alcohol proved as a barrier of me actually coming out and talking about it,” Jolie Moran said. “I didn’t know if it was something that I did wrong. I wondered if people would believe me, knowing that I was intoxicated, so I didn’t report it.”

Today, Moran is the alternatives program coordinator at Vera House, a Syracuse-based nonprofit that provides support to victims of sexual and domestic violence.

Throughout the month of April, Vera House is working to improve city-wide awareness of sexual assault cases as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Vera House will be holding events and continuing its educational initiatives, one of which was extended into this month.

In March, Vera House launched its White Ribbon Campaign, which spans across the city of Syracuse as well as area schools such as Syracuse University and LeMoyne College. The main goal of the White Ribbon Campaign is to promote awareness of sexual assault and encourage more people to discuss it.

Moran said she was terrified of telling her parents about the abuse because she didn’t want them to believe they did something wrong. But after years of counseling, she was able to be honest with them. She said her parents were incredibly supportive, something that would eventually help her come to terms with what had happened.

I didn’t know if it was something that I did wrong.

30-)ì 36%2 alternatives program coordinator at vera house “The healing has come because the more I talk about it, the easier it becomes,” she said. “We need to come to a place where society really wants to talk about domestic and sexual violence.”

Bridget Yule, the director of Student Centers and Programming Services at SU, is working with a group of interns from the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics to help make the campaign visible on campus. Yule, who is also a board

member at Vera House, requires her interns to work 15 hours a semester on the project.

Intern Andre Marques said he’s already put in 30 hours because there’s so much to be done.

The group meets every Thursday to brainstorm new ways to promote the campaign. So far they have given out bracelets on campus and basketball games, participated in walks and have even created their own sticker that they sell in the bookstore and when they table in Schine Atrium.

The sticker, which says “No ExCUSE For Abuse,” was designed by Alyssa Miocevich, a junior advertising and policy studies dual major.

The interns decided to create a sticker because they talked about how many students put them on their laptops, and thought their message could really stick as well.

“It’s showing students what resources they have at their fingertips,” said Marques, an undeclared freshman in the Falk College.

“Even when students come up to our table and don’t have money for a sticker, I can still provide them with so much information on things from what an unhealthy relationship is to where students can get help.”

Yule said Vera House focuses not only on the “after” of the assault, but also put in a lot much work on the preventative side.

are all signs.

Vera House is working to teach people to recognize these signs and hopefully prevent them from escalating further, Yule said.

“This problem has so many different faces — it’s not just black and white.” Yule said. “When it stops you from living a normal life, that’s when it’s not OK. It’s that ownership that we at Vera House want people to begin to recognize.”

In addition to college campuses, Vera House works with elementary, middle and high school students around the greater Syracuse area to begin the prevention at an early stage. At the elementary level they focus mostly on “good touching versus bad touching,” while with older kids they work on identifying relationship violence.

Currently, Vera House is working on their Clothesline Project, which will be hanging in Destiny USA from Monday until Sunday. Survivors of sexual assault and

their allies took T-shirts and, with puffy paint and fabric markers, wrote messages and their experiences on them. The shirts all hang on clothesline display.

Moran said that not only is it good for survivors to share their stories, but it also allows for survivors to stand in solidarity with one another.

The shirts hang in a winding path on the third floor of the mall. It is respectfully quiet, allowing the shirts to seemingly speak their messages in voices. The shirts are products of parents and friends of survivors, adults and children, and range in sizes, tones and messages.

One after another, each shirt is emblazoned with powerful, personal messages: “I will no longer: Drink, cut myself, stuff my face, sleep around, sabotage relationships, hate myself, feel responsible for what you did to me Uncle Pervert.”

“You ripped my clothes and I got in trouble. I was 7.”

“Love can be unconditional.”

“It feels like it was my fault.”

“I wear a mask.”

“You may have taken my dignity, but I am stronger than you.”

As much as Sexual Assault Awareness Month appears to be about pain, Moran said it is a month about hope. It is about looking forward to a healthier, happier world.

Moran insisted that healthy relationships do exist and people can begin to heal.

She has been happily married for five years to a man she loves. Together, the couple has two young sons.

“Having boys it gives me the opportunity to educate them and hopefully look at them as our future,” Moran said. “Hopefully, they can help to begin to solve this huge problem.” ararcham@syr.edu

HOLY COW

By Joe Bloss staff writer

F

or most of summer 2015, Andrew Idarraga worked grueling days putting up party tents. It’s a job he said is much harder than it seems. Often after a long day of work, he would take a drive in his ’99 Ford Crown Victoria, an old cop car, to Fox Point, a suburb north of Milwaukee.

It was there that Idarraga would hop out of his car and dive into Lake Michigan. Out on the water, the freshman Bandier student could relax, float and gaze at the Milwaukee skyline miles in the distance. “I’d swim far enough where I’m like, ‘oh, man, I don’t know if I can make it back,’ just because I just like it,� Idarraga said.

But one summer day at Fox Point sticks out to Idarraga the most. He had a day off from work, and was joined by several of his buddies. It was a clear but windy day. They bodysurfed until they were too tired to go on, cherishing their last few days together before starting college.

That late summer day is the inspiration behind “Foxpoint Cove,� Idarraga’s first song under the moniker The Wisconaut. The song, co-produced by fellow Bandier student Jack Messing, was born not long into Idarraga’s time in Syracuse University — its chorus is the first line written in a tiny notebook Idarraga’s dad gave him just before he left.

The notebook’s intended use was to keep track of assignments, but has since turned into an idea booklet for The Wisconaut. “Foxpoint Cove� was Idarraga’s first solo attempt at songwriting, but the track is

already approaching 4,000 plays on SoundCloud just four months after its release. He said he’s surprised so many people like it.

Idarraga’s Wisconsin roots are obvious in his stage name, but they don’t stop there. Two of The Wisconaut’s other songs, “Great MisSteaks� and “Things I Cud-n’t Understand,� are part of an ongoing EP titled “Udderances.� Even his website, thewisconaut.com, features a poorly Photoshopped image of his face and a cow in a temporary swimming pool.

The ode to the state is an attempt to make his music accessible to the wholesome people he thinks are essential to Wisconsin’s identity. “I’m playing at this whole stereotype that

Wisconsin is just cheese and cows, because it’s not,� he said.

The Wisconaut’s tribute to home makes sense, as it was Idarraga’s musical upbringing that made him the artist he is. He began taking piano lessons at age 5, something that he was forced to endure for six years.

It wasn’t until middle school that Idarraga found his niche playing the drums — he’s comfortable behind a kit because it fills his need to hit things. In high school, he and some friends formed a band called Where’s My Sandwich? and went on to play at their senior prom.

Now at SU, Idarraga has found his way into a band called Super Defense. He acts as

Freshman performs as The Wisconaut, a name inspired by his home state the drummer but writes none of the music, a role that made him realize he had the potential to branch out on his own. “I felt like there was some stuff in my head I could put on paper with a little music and it could be kind of cool,� he said.

But before he could write any music at SU, Idarraga needed a guitar — something he’d never owned or played before. And as luck would have it, he found one for $15 at 3fifteen, the thrift store in Marshall Square mall. The strings are too far from the frets, but to just fiddle around on, it gets the job done.

During live shows, Idarraga has had to borrow friend’s guitars. He’s “borrowed� friends too and has been joined onstage by them, including guitarist Scott Sweitzer , guitarist Gavin Blaiser and drummer Terrin Munawet.

They’ve played two shows so far this semester. In January, they joined student band Pizza Party at Spark Contemporary Art Space for The Wisconaut’s live debut.

Idarraga said the crowd took well to the new band — by the end they were moshing and singing along to “Foxpoint Cove.�

Last month, the guys played at Big Red, and Idarraga said the turnout was so strong that some of his friends couldn’t even get in.

The guys will once again be playing a show at Spark on Saturday. And while everything the Wisconaut has recorded was done

by Idarraga alone, he said he couldn’t be anywhere with out the help of Sweitzer, Blaiser and Munawet. “I swear by those dudes,� Idarraga said. “They add a such a better f lavor to my live music.� jtbloss@syr.edu

Syracuse makes 4-star big man’s final 8 schools

Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree, a 6-foot-8 Class of 2017 big man, listed SU as one of his top choices, according to MADE Hoops’ Pat Lawless.

Cosby-Roundtree’s list also includes Atlantic Coast Conference foe Miami, as well as Villanova, Seton Hall, Virginia Commonwealth, Providence, Xavier and Temple.

The Neumann-Goretti (Pennsylvania) High School product is listed on ESPN. com as a center, but on 247Sports.com and Scout.com as a power forward. He is listed between 195 and 210 pounds on various recruiting sites as well.

Nick Mariano scores season-high 4 goals in 10-9 OT loss

By Paul Schwedelson asst.sports editor

ITHACA, N.Y. — The game was tied, and then it wasn’t. Then it was tied again and Syracuse regained its lead. Cornell answered. This time, the tie only lasted 40 seconds.

On three occasions, Nick Mariano broke the deadlock. In a game notable for the back-and-forth battle between the two teams, Mariano was the one who allowed the Orange to keep poking its head above water.

As the overtime bout hung in the balance, the most crucial tiebreak didn’t go to the junior midfielder. Instead, the Big Red broke the final tie and Cornell celebrated the goal which ended the extra frame and led to its 10-9 win. “We wanted a bigger lead and that’s what we were trying to do offensively,� Mariano said. “But that didn’t happen.�

And Mariano’s not to blame. All four of his goals extended No. 9 Syracuse’s (6-4, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) lead in the eventual one-goal loss to Cornell (5-5, 1-3 Ivy) at Schoellkopf Field. The four scores were a season-high for Mariano who previously hadn’t played midfield since he was in sixth grade. He’s used to taking on defenders with long poles and exploited the favorable matchup on Tuesday.

In two previous overtime games this season, the Orange’s offense never touched the ball. This time, Ben Williams won the opening faceoff and SU quickly called timeout to set up a play.

After cycling the ball around for nearly a minute and a half, Derek DeJoe sprinted toward the goal from the right wing. He nearly got to the goal-line and unleashed a

low-angle shot that flew beyond the opposite sideline.

Syracuse head coach John Desko said Mariano’s defender had a short stick. “I wanted the ball definitely,� Mariano said. “I wanted him to have the ball at the end also,� Desko said.

Mariano never took a shot on the Orange’s only possession in the extra period and Cornell scored on its first chance with the ball.

What he did during the first 60 minutes, though, was enough to leave one of the biggest imprints in a game that teetered from

one side to the other. “Nick had the hot hand,� Desko said.

Mariano’s second goal came when he caught a pass from Jordan Evans about 10 yards in front of the net. The lefty wound up with his dominant hand and fired a sidearm shot toward the center of the goal, but it snuck just under the crossbar.

Syracuse, 4-3.

His next came off a roll dodge from the left side of the field. As Mariano switched his stick into his left hand, he leapt off the ground to generate power and scored his third goal to record his fifth hat trick of the

season. Syracuse, 8-7.

After Cornell tied it up at eight, Mariano had the answer again 40 seconds later.

Another lefty rip. Another broken tie.

Except this time, Mariano barely celebrated. He kept his arms at his sides and simply started walking toward the sideline. It was becoming routine. Syracuse, 9-8. “He was shooting the ball extremely well,� Desko said. “He had the opportunities he was put in, he was dodging hard, he was playing with a lot of confidence.�

For the past eight years, Mariano had played attack. In two years at Massachusetts, he often drew opponents’ best defenders. He switched to midfield before the season and 10 games into his career, he’s still occasionally drawing short sticks even as the Orange’s leading goal scorer.

That’s what helped open him up several times against the Big Red. “When I get a shortie on me, I get a little red in the eye,� Mariano said.

After the game, a father and son stood near reporters and watched as Syracuse packed up its truck for the 53-mile drive back to SU. The son, wearing an orange jersey, posed for a photo with Desko as his dad captured the moment with his phone.

Moments later, Mariano finished fielding questions from the media just a few yards away from the field he had his best game at Syracuse on. “He played great,� the father said to his son.

But then Mariano turned around, the lights on top of reporters’ cameras turned off and he walked back to the Orange’s locker room. It didn’t matter how great Mariano played.

SU integrates young players with ‘feel-good day’ practices

Before games, Syracuse runs practices to integrate its younger players into the team and ease the pressure of the season. “With girls, you have to feel good to play well,� assistant coach and hitting specialist Alisa Goler said.

For much of the season, Syracuse has struggled offensively, ranking at the bottom of the ACC in nearly every offensive category. The Orange is 10th in batting average (.233), slugging percentage (.370), runs scored (134), and RBI (116), and ninth in doubles (36), total bases (363) and total plate appearances (1104). The Orange believe a lot of its struggles, however, do not come from technique, but from a lack of confidence.

Part of what’s helped this season is “feelgood� day practices Junior pitcher and infielder Sydney O’Hara, who leads the team in runs batted in (23), believes that players put too much pressure on themselves coming out of high school to perform well. “Everyone expects for you to (do) great things in college,� O’Hara said. “You have one bad game and you’re like, ‘Wow, people are going to look at me and be like what is she doing?’�

Syracuse is filled with young players this season, as 13 of the Orange’s 19 players are underclassmen.

Those “feel-good� days were most helpful for helping those young players assimilate.

The practices are filled with front-toss bat-

ting practice, vision drills and practicing repetitions in drills where making contact with the ball isn’t supposed to be difficult.

The aim of the drills is to improve fundamentals. “You have to learn to bounce back from whatever happened the game before,�

O’Hara said.

This week, with a matchup against North Carolina State over the weekend, Goler said the Orange will have a “feel-good� day followed by work on the pitching machine to work on the players’ vision seeing the ball. “In the fall, it was a time to get to know our kids and their swings and what they struggled with,� Goler said. “Two out of three players were new members.�

This process will be the same, Goler said, until 2018 when she will have personally recruited each player in the system.

Until then, the Orange have to lead on their top hitters to give the rest of the team confidence. When No. 1 and No. 2 hitters Sammy Fernandez and Maddie Doane are getting on base, the rest of the team feeds off of their success.

In the last few weeks, Syracuse has made strides offensively. In the last five games its scored 33 runs.

Head coach Mike Bosch has noticed the improvement, and believes it’s added for a more relaxed team. “Our last two weekends we’ve really taken some steps forward offensively,�

Bosch said. “It takes pressure off our defense and our pitching.� jfupton@syr.edu

Late defensive stop pushes Syracuse past Albany, 8-7

By Sam Fortier asst. copy Eeitor

No. 4 Syracuse (12-3, 4-1 Atlantic Coast) hung on to win an 8-7 game at Albany (7-4, 3-0 America East) that wasn’t decided until the final moments. syracuse 3 5 8 Senior midalbany 2 5 7 fielder Kelly Cross forced a turnover and scooped up the groundball with 32 seconds left to cut the Great Danes’ final chance short and secure the Orange’s win at John Fallon Field on Tuesday night.

The win extended Syracuse’s winning streak to five games since a 13-8 loss at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, against Boston College. The Canisius game, which was suspended due to weather on April 3, is still tied at 10 with about six minutes remaining.

There is no make-up date scheduled.

.348

SU SHOOTING PERCENTAGE

Syracuse’s .348 shooting percentage (8-for-23) is the second-worst total for the team this season.

In the first eight minutes, Syracuse struggled. The Orange had committed four fouls, lost both draws and fallen behind 2-0, one of which came on a free position shot. Julie

Cryderman scored both goals for Albany.

But Syracuse stormed back. After returning from a yellow card, attack Halle Majorana scored her 27th of the season and the Orange’s first of the game. Minutes later, after one of her shots was saved but before her next yellow card, Majorana hit the crossbar on a shot that would’ve tied the game.

SU attack Nicole Levy made up for it with her 27th goal of the season, and the Orange received another contribution from an unfamiliar place. Midfielder Gabby Jaquith, who usually distributes and plays defense, added a goal to continue Syracuse’s late run.

The nation’s ninth best offense, at 13.79 goals per game, had just three at halftime.

But it also had the lead.

Two second-half goals by Levy spurred the charge as the Orange netted five goals in the frame. Levy’s hat trick extended her streak to seven games in which she’s scored multiple goals. She’s done that in 10 of her 15 games so far this season.

No one else scored more than once and attack Kayla Treanor, who won only half of the six draws in the first half, won all 11 in the second. Syracuse also finished 11-for-11 on the clear for the day.

Down 8-5 with under four minutes ago, Albany scored to bring the game within two goals at 8-6. After Treanor won the draw, Jaquith turned the ball over and Albany rushed down the field. After completing the clear, the Great Danes called timeout.

Fifteen seconds later, UA’s Rachel Heidenreich scored her sixth goal of the season. It was suddenly a one-goal game with 2:12 remaining.

Treanor won the draw and Taylor Gait turned it over, but SU kept UA at bay just long enough to seal the win. sjfortie@syr.edu

At the Miami Hurricane Alumni Invitational, Crittenden won the 110-meter hurdles in a time of 13.53 seconds, marking the second-fastest time in the nation as well as Crittenden’s personal best in the event. Crittenden’s time is also the best among those attempting to qualify for the NCA A east regional.

On Feb. 28, he led Syracuse to its first ACC indoor track and field championship by winning the 60-meter hurdles by over

0.2 seconds. Crittenden then finished second at the NCA A championships with a time of 7.64 seconds.

Syracuse drops third overtime game of the season in 10-9 loss to Cornell

By Jon Mettus digitial editor

I

THACA, N.Y. — Ryan Matthews sprinted from the goal to the 25-yard line before a mob of his teammates finally chased him down and tackled him to the ground. One Cornell player launched his stick 30 feet into the air and another ripped off his helmet and gloves before tossing them in various directions as he spun in a circle.

Matthews had just charged toward the Syracuse goal and dunked in a point-blank shot in overtime to upset No. 9 Syracuse (6-4, 1-2 Atlantic Coast), 10-9, at Schoellkopf Field in Ithaca, New York, on Tuesday night. The Big Red (5-5, 1-3 Ivy) celebrated in a massive dog pile while the Orange’s players remained on the bench.

For the third time this season, SU blew a lead and fell in overtime. Syracuse has now lost four of its last five games.

And for the just the second time in the last nine years, the Orange has suffered four losses in a regular season — with two games still to go.

“We’re fine,” goalie Evan Molloy said. “I don’t think anyone would argue that was Cornell’s best game of the season.

“I think we lost to a great Hopkins team and a great Duke

team and it’s by one goal so that’s not a knock on us at all. We just got to finish here.”

Finishing has been the problem.

Against Johns Hopkins on March 19, the Orange was ahead by two with two and a half minutes to go in the game. Against Duke on March 26, SU was up four heading into the final quarter. Syracuse couldn’t put its opponent away either time.

I didn’t look at it as “(Molloy) had a bad game.

They just played well. ” john desko

su head coach

On Tuesday, the Orange held a two goal lead three separate times, but could never get ahead by more. Twice Nick Mariano put SU up by one in the fourth, but it was the Big Red that came away with the final goal.

“It’s definitely frustrating,” Mariano said, “but it’s on us.

We got to go back to work.”

For every punch Syracuse had, Cornell hit right back.

Mariano’s first of four goals on the night gave SU the 3-1 advantage, but a score as time expired in the first and another early in the second tied the game for Cornell.

Syracuse had two leads by two goals in the third quarter alone, but watched both of them dissipate in a matter of minutes.

The Orange pounded shots at the Cornell goal, but goalie Brennan Donville countered with 13 saves, including four in the fourth quarter. Molloy made six stops for Syracuse in his second career start.

After each Cornell goal, Molloy and the defenders around him shouted at one another and pointed their hands and sticks in different directions to say where another person should have been.

“I didn’t look at it as Evan had a bad game,” Desko said of the redshirt junior goalie that he started over previous starter Warren Hill after three straight losses.

“They just played well.”

Syracuse’s faceoff specialist Ben Williams had struggled in the Orange’s previous overtime games this season, but won 18-of-22 against Cornell. In his previous two chances, he lost overtime’s opening faceoff, but on Tuesday, SU’s Austin Fusco came out of
