Rental regulation concerns landlords By Bianca Moorman staff writer

All three pairs of Student Association presidential and vice presidential candidates last week declined to participate in an independent Daily Orange/CitrusTV debate that would have been held on Sunday. The candidates cited time constraints, previous commitments and, in one case, a section of the SA bylaws that requires “recognized student organizations” to propose debates to SA’s chair of the board of elections and membership “no less than one week prior to the debate being planned.” The D.O. is not a student organization or affiliated with SA, and did not request that the debate be held. CitrusTV, a registered student organization, partnered with The D.O. last spring to host a debate independent of SA. Kaitlyn Ellsweig, the first SA presidential candidate to announce a campaign, said in an interview with The D.O. Editorial Board on Saturday that she and Ryan Houck, her running mate, had busy schedules on Sunday, with prior commitments to different organizations. They made arrangements to make sure they could attend the debate, but Ellsweig said she then learned that Ghufran Salih, one of the other SA presidential candidates, wouldn’t be able to attend the debate. “We wanted to show that solidarity and that it wasn’t just one campaign pulling out, it was all of us just not being able to do it,” Ellsweig said. In an interview with the editorial board on Friday, SA presidential candidate John Jankovic said “we were very honest with the prior commitments we had.” Jankovic was the second SA presidential candidate to announce a campaign. Jankovic said his team had a busy schedule on Sunday. He also pointed to the section of the SA bylaws that requires student organizations to request in writing approval for a proposed debate. “You guys are independent which is great for media, but Citrus TV is not so we were not comfortable with that,” Jankovic said. Salih, the third presidential candidate to announce a campaign, in a text on Tuesday initially said she and her running mate Kyle Rosenblum would be available for a possible Sunday debate. But they realized their schedules would be just too hectic and decided to not participate, she said in the Saturday interview. sfogozal@syr.edu | @Sam13783

Landlords in Syracuse have had mixed reactions to a recent rental registry amendment passed by the city’s Common Council that will require certain landlords to allow interior code enforcement inspections of properties. The amendment, which will go into effect on July 1, won’t help with housing problems in the area, some landlords said. “The rental registry that they passed is totally missing the point,” said Donna Glassberg, who runs OrangeHousing.com, a property rental website. Under the amendment, landlords of homes with one or two families must submit to exterior and interior inspections by the code department every three years to be compliant with the rental registry, a list of one- and two-family homes. Previously, the rental registry only required exterior inspections every two years.

JIM BROWN, a Syracuse football icon, was recognized with a statue outside of Ensley Athletic Center on South Campus in 2015. josh shub-seltzer staff photographer By Stacy Fernández senior staff writer

Outside the Ensley Athletic Center is the frozen image of Jim Brown, midstride, with a football cradled in his left arm. The bronze statue, put up in November 2015, is a tribute to the hall of famer who once wore the legendary No. 44 jersey at Syracuse University. It’s also a statue two SU alumni are trying to remove. Samantha Skaller and Seth Quam, the two alumni, started their push to remove the statue in May, after learning of Brown’s controversial history that includes multiple accusations of sexual and physical assault. Brown was tried but never convicted of rape and assault in the 1980s. Skaller, former Northeast regional leader for the “It’s On Us” national sexual assault prevention campaign, and Quam, current Youth Outreach Coordinator for the Southwest Crisis Center, have asked the university to remove the statue and other visual representations of Brown. They have also asked SU to revoke his 2016 Arents Award, the highest alumni honor given by the university. Brown is known as one of the greatest football players in history. Beyond the game, Brown’s legacy is contentious. Brown, an activist, has been celebrated for his work with the black community. He founded the Black Economic Union to establish black-run businesses. He also launched Amer-I-Can, an organization dedicated to teaching life see statue page 6

Some of the landlords do want to fix their houses, but (there’s) not enough skilled people in the area that know how to work on a house. Donna Glassberg

owner of orangehousing.com

Ben Tupper, a Sy racuse University-area landlord, said he believes the rental registry amendment will focus on decrepit houses on the South Side, Northside, Eastside and Westside. Tupper said he thinks that, even though the university area is not the focus of the amendment, some landlords are being negligent. “There are landlords in the university area that need to do a better job,” he said. “They will be targeted by this.” The text of the amendment does not note any particular focus areas in the city. Councilor-atlarge Khalid Bey proposed the amendment at a Jan. 31 meeting of the council. At that meeting, Bey said the change would help the city crack down on landlords who are “serially negligent.” see landlords page 6

Extra loan scrutiny unlikely to help borrowers By Charlie Sawyer staff writer

The United States Department of Education, in a statement, recently said state consumer protection laws do not apply to student loan servicers under federal contract, meaning only the federal government has the authority to regulate student loans provided by those companies. In response, New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a press release that with student debt mounting nationwide, this move by the federal government is meant to protect for-profit lenders from extra scrutiny from states. “Rather than try to address tuition costs, or open access for students, the

White House and the Congressional majority are intent on protecting student loan companies and debt consultants,” the release said. The DOE statement is known as a notice of interpretation, said student loan expert Mark Kantrowitz, and is unlikely to make a tangible difference in policy until it’s brought up in court. Kantrowitz said that if it does go to court, the DOE has a strong argument for deregulation, given that contracts with student loan servicers are under federal jurisdiction. States had little justification in adding regulations on those servicers, he said. “It would be potentially complicated for these contractors to comply with 50 different state laws,

each of whom might have different requirements or even conflicting requirements,” said Kantrowitz, who’s the publisher of PrivateStudentLoans.guru. James Bergeron, president of the National Council of Higher Education Resources, said in an email that licensing processes and other regulations would bog down the ability of smaller student loan servicers to serve borrowers. The notice of interpretation came at a time when faith in the federal government’s willingness to regulate student loan servicers on behalf of borrowers was already low, said Benjamin Barrett, policy analyst for New America, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization

focused on public policy. Barrett added that last year, the DOE repealed the Student Aid Borrowers Bill of Rights and the Mitchell memo, which were documents that outlined basic tenets of how to properly apply for, use and distribute student loans for both borrowers and servicers. Both documents were drafted during former President Barack Obama’s administration. “To a lot of people, that was shocking,” Barrett said. “It (could have) signaled, initially, without any context, that they were not interested in holding these companies accountable.” Barrett added that, during the Obama administration, Maryland see loans page 6

News briefs: 3 stories you may have missed By Daniel Strauss asst. digital editor

Here are some of the biggest Syracuse University and city of Syracuse stories you may have missed this weekend.

Dean condemns news’ statement

‘fake

Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications on Friday joined thirteen other schools in condemning Sinclair Broadcast Group for requiring anchors nationwide to read a scripted statement accus-

ing other outlets of spreading “fake news.” Lorraine Branham, dean of the Newhouse School, signed the letter, along with deans and department chairs of schools at the University of Maryland, University of Southern California and The George Washington University, among others. “Ironically, Sinclair’s use of news personnel to deliver commentary — not identified as such — may further erode what has traditionally been one of the strongest allegiances in the news landscape, the trust that viewers

put in their local television stations,” the letter read. Sinclair has come under scrutiny in recent weeks after CNN reported the national broadcasting company would require anchors on its nearly 200 stations to deliver a scripted statement accusing other outlets of running biased and false stories. The statement also accused media outlets of trying to control “exactly what people think.” Branham, along with leaders at other schools, said in the letter some students who believe in

ethical and unbiased news reporting are now apprehensive about future employers’ demands.

Salih-Rosenblum ticket is best to lead SA Fee increase could limit access to Syracuse parks Editor’s note: The Daily Orange Editorial Board sat down for interviews with all Student Association presidential and vice presidential candidates to discuss campus issues and the dynamics of the undergraduate student governing body. The transcriptions of those interviews are available online.

The Daily Orange Editorial Board endorses presidential candidate Ghufran Salih and vice presidential candidate Kyle Rosenblum to represent Syracuse University’s undergraduate student body during Student Association’s 62nd legislative session. In a campaign lineup that featured five sophomores, the collective strength of the campaigns bodes well for the future of student civic engagement within SA. Still, Salih and Rosenblum have an unmatched awareness of critical issues facing current and future SU students, including the Invest Syracuse initiative and a $3,300 tuition premium that will take effect this fall. Salih, a sophomore information management and technology major, has not been involved in SA previously. Rosenblum, a sophomore psychology major, has served as co-chair of SA’s health

and wellness subcommittee. Salih’s lack of prior student government experience paired with Kyle’s committee service balances a fresh outside perspective with a familiarity of the policy work required to navigate the ins and outs of SA. Salih and Rosenblum’s emphasis on tangible initiatives is encouraging. The pair hopes to increase funding for SU resource centers, including the Slutzker Center for International Services, the LGBT Resource Center and the Counseling Center. The campaign would also push for the implementation of Callisto, a third-party recording and reporting system, to improve accessibility for students reporting sexual assault to the university. Following current SA President James Franco and Vice President Angie Pati’s tenure, it’s vital that the organization’s incoming leadership relate to the student body on a legislative and personal level. One of the core components of Franco and Pati’s success has been the chemistry they have. Salih and Rosenblum exhibit a similar partnership and approachability that can be trusted to speak on behalf of more than 15,000 undergraduates. Throughout this year’s

election season, each pair of SA candidates emphasized the value of accessibility, expanded resources for marginalized communities and representation — three core areas for improvement in student life at SU. Should Salih and Rosenblum win, The D.O. Editorial Board hopes the Jankovic-Fazal and Ellsweig-Houck tickets continue to invest their passion in SA and bring their ideas to fruition. As SU continues to implement sprawling academic plans that affect every level of the student experience, the administration’s actions must be monitored closely. Looking to the 2018-19 academic year, Salih and Rosenblum have the charisma, insight and skill to ensure undergraduate student voices aren’t forgotten — or ignored — along the way.

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.

letter to the editor

Reader responds to D.O.’s GSO coverage The Daily Orange’s story concerning the GSO’s decision to remove all graduate employees from the employee health insurance plan frames the news as the GSO vs. SGEU. What’s absent from the story is 24 people decided to change 1,200 graduate employee’s health insurance despite lacking knowledge of the full plan or guarantees of a future subsidy, voting in a reckless manner and completely perverting democratic principles. The so-called facts concerning the savings the switch would bring are extraordinarily subjective, varying radically based on individual circumstances. The real story is one where student voices expressing concern over the precarity this switch would bring were silenced. Graduate employees still don’t know who their future provider is, nor do they know details of the plan. Instead, they were given a single piece of paper lacking detailed information on the pro-

posed plan. In contrast, the currently available SU Blue and Aetna Student Health Plans are 10 and 22 pages respectively. Actual debate on Resolution 18.XX, a question session with representatives from the graduate school and debate on proposed amendments to the resolution all occurred in less than an hour. The meeting began at 5:35 p.m. and the resolution was passed at 6:55 p.m. Thirty minutes of that time was a presentation on the proposed new plan by an outside consultant, meaning over the course of an hour and a half, the GSO moved from seeing a limited set of plan details, to a question session to debating a resolution. The GSO voted to accept an insurance plan seen for the first time in less time than a Tuesday/Thursday class session. The GSO radically broke procedure by dissolving resolution 16.05, which was passed to prevent the situation that occurred Wednes-

day, ensuring a referendum be held for graduate employees affected — a referendum that never happened, because the administration and GSO executive board failed to do their job. Senators ended debate before over 100 students could ask questions, meaning a small group of individuals voted without abdicating information or critical consideration about how this decision will impact graduate employees’ lives. Regardless of feelings concerning the validity of the plan, this blatant refusal from the GSO body and administration to listen to constituents’ concerns demonstrates that while 24 individuals voted to make this change, the decision which affects 1,200 graduate workers and their dependents was anything but democratic.

Syracuse residents who don’t have access to resources at local gyms or community centers, the outdoor plaza has provided them with the opportunity to work out, have fun with family and friends and appreciate the park services Syracuse has to offer. The Syracuse Department of Parks, Recreation and Youth Programs recently delayed a vote to increase the fees by 50 percent as they hear more from the community. But Julie LaFave, Deputy Commissioner of Parks & Recreation, said the cost increases are a drop in the bucket compared to membership listings at local community centers. “The proposed fee increases only apply to a small portion of the population we serve and programs we offer,” LaFave said. “Our dropin youth programs – spread across the city – will remain free, as will our senior programs and public swimming. A 50 percent increase is equal to $5 in the instance of our swimming lessons. The proposed rate for swim lessons would be $15, which in comparison to lessons at private facilities is still a substantial savings.” The increases, which would be the first in a decade, result from the need to increase revenue against mounting costs. Along with the price hikes, the city would continue to highly subsidize the parks. The proposed increases come in the shadow of a national trend to increase park fees, said Carmen Carrion Flores, a research assistant professor of economics at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. “We observed that National Parks increased their entrance fees by 50 percent for 2018; recreational facilities in Syracuse might be just following strategies to increase revenue adopted by National Parks,” she said. Clinton Square Skating generated $130,000 in revenue for the city during fiscal year 2017, a figure that the city believes is too low. But Flores expressed doubts that

increased fees would be successful at raising revenues for the Parks and Rec department. “I am unsure if this entrance park fees increase will indeed generate higher revenue, given an anticipated decrease in attendance” she said. As access fees increase, the attendance may decrease sharply, resulting in a net zero for the Parks & Rec department. And national trends support this hypothesis. Sixty-four percent of adults said a fee increase at national parks would make them less likely to use those services, per a national survey done by the Outdoor Alliance for kids. That figure grew to 71 percent among respondents who make less than $30,000. In Syracuse, where the median household income is less than $33,000, it’s likely local residents would follow in this trend as well. So a fee increase may not be a successful solution to mounting costs and low revenue. Higher fees will also decrease access to Syracuse’s impoverished citizens. Although drop-in youth programs will remain free, swim lessons for a family of three would increase from $30 to $45. Increasing fees may not help with the revenue problem and will decrease access to certain services. It should be the last option, and the country agrees. In that same survey from the Outdoor Alliance, 72 percent of respondents believed that instead of increasing fees, funding should be increased to parks and recreational services. For the 2018 adopted budget, the Syracuse City Parks Recreation will have a projected budget of just over $8 million. Onondaga county has a Parks and Rec budget of $16.5 million to fund projects such as the Rosamond Gifford Zoo and Pratt’s Falls Park. The city parks should have access to the county recreational budget in order to pay for the increased costs while keeping fees steady. The county has significantly more resources and could help the city keep the programs feasible. This option should be fully investigated before fees are increased for parks services in the city. Increased funding from the county is the only way to ensure parks remain accessible to all of Syracuse and the programs are financially solvent. Because when it comes to nature, you can’t — and shouldn’t — put a price tag on the great outdoors.

management and personal growth techniques to inner-city gang members and prison inmates. But Brown has also been accused and investigated for at least six incidents of violence against women, mainly domestic violence, and one case of rape between 1965 and 2000. He was charged with the rape and assault of a 33-year-old woman in 1985. The case went to court, but the charges were dismissed by a judge due to “inconsistent testimony.” In his memoir, Brown admitted to slapping women. “Through the tremendous courage displayed by the many women coming forward, Jim Brown’s history of sexual and domestic violence became public,” Skallar and Quam said in a December letter to the university. “As a community we cannot accept the idolization of a man who has been perpetrated numerous acts of interpersonal violence.” A representative of Brown did not respond to a request for comment on Sunday night. Skaller and Quam said in their letter they understand the danger of furthering the “destructive trope of the hypersexualized violent black man.” They also said the trope has been a tool of racial oppression in American history. “And that is why we implore you to engage Syracuse University community members that inhabit a multitude of intersecting identities to be a part of this discussion regarding Mr. Brown’s decades long history of sexual and relationship violence,” Skaller and Quam said in the letter. Skaller and Quam met with John Wildhack, the university’s director of athletics, and Executive Senior Associate AD/Chief Communications Officer Sue Edson in April 2017 to discuss the statue. They also met with Chancellor Kent Syverud and Barry Wells, special assistant to the chancellor, three weeks later. Quam said, in meetings, administrators did not deny knowledge of the allegations against Brown. The matter was delegated to the Task Force on Sexual and Relationship Violence and the Council on Diversity and Inclusion, Skaller said. The committees were to have dialogue

The department said yes, in response. New York State Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski said in an email that he, along with state legislators from 14 other states, have been making an effort to increase regulations on student loan servicers, and added that he sponsored a bill that would “establish a baseline of consumer protections.”

on the matter and reach a decision, she added. Skaller and Quam, as alumni, followed up on the issue by sending a letter to both committees and Syverud in December 2017. In late March, Skaller and Quam had an hourlong video call with Syverud, Wells and Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz, who were representatives of the two workgroups. The chancellor’s candor surprised Skaller, she said. Syverud told Skaller he has a personal relationship with Brown, she said. Skaller’s and Quam’s proposition is something he’s been grappling with as a person, as well as an administrator, she added. Skaller said she and Quam requested the university reach out to Brown to see if he would be interested in releasing his own statement addressing the matter. Skaller and Quam also requested a statement be released by both work groups. “We need to have multivocality in this,” Skaller said. “We need students’ voices, we need administrators’ voices and we need Jim Brown’s voice, if he wants to provide it.” The university currently has no plans

in motion to take down the statue or have Brown’s 2016 Arents Award removed, an SU spokesperson confirmed in a March 28 email. But Skaller said Syverud told the pair “he refuses” to put up or sign off on any visual representations of a person without a thoroughly researched investigation to make sure they have no history of sexual or relationship violence. “To me that’s a win,” Skaller said. “Even if the statue and all these visual representations of Jim Brown don’t get taken down, that’s still a win for me.” In February, Syverud told Skaller and Quam in an email that he asked the advisory committees to review the processes for selecting honorees for awards, and to make recommendations to change or strengthen them. The committees are expected to work on the review this spring semester. The duo’s goal to remove the statue remains, though. “We still want all those things to happen, but we trust in the university’s decision so far,” Skaller said. sfern100@syr.edu

She said the city needs to create new programs or initiatives that will help landlords fix the properties they rent. “Some of the landlords do want to fix their houses, but (there’s) not enough skilled people in the area that know how to work on a house,” Glassberg said. Glassberg said adding the interior inspections will be a waste of money and time. Tupper said he believes the amendment will make it harder for code enforcement officers to do their job. Ken Towsley, director of the city’s code enforcement department, has said that only one-third of oneand two-family homes are on the registry, which has no enforcement mechanism. “You have limited amount of code enforcement officers and the proposal radically expanded the number of houses,” he said. The system is already dysfunctional, he added, and he thinks it will become worse because code enforcement won’t be able to from page 3

Before his deportation, Zhan had attempted to buy an AR-15 — an assault rifle frequently used in recent mass shootings — and sought psychiatric care twice recently. When authorities entered Zhan’s apartment in mid-March, officers found ammunition, a shotgun shoulder carrier, laser scope and light. Syracuse Deputy Police Chief Derek McGork revealed details of the mass shooting threat at a Thursday school safety task force meeting. McGork read an English translation of text messages Zhan sent to a friend, which included descriptions of a “dark side” that pushed Zhan to buy a gun, bulletproof vest

“As a New York State Legislator, it is my job to protect New York students,” Zebrowski said. “We are best positioned to respond to the needs of our constituents.” Kantrowitz said any court cases that will happen as a result of the department’s notice of interpretation are likely to be riddled with compromise. “It’ll be like the compromise in which nobody’s really happy, but sometimes the best compromises are won when not every side is completely satisfied with what it got,” he said. “When government gets involved, it often gets complicated.” cesawyer@syr.edu

keep up with the work. Anna Martin, property manager of Syracuse Green Housing, said she has not heard much about the changes to the rental registry. Martin said the only issue she has to deal with, in regard to the registry, is the cost of registering properties. Tupper said he paid more than $10,000 to register his properties with the city. And the new amendment will require him to pay more, he said. Andre El-Amir, owner of Andre’s Syracuse University Area Apartments and Houses, said the amendment does not really affect his business. El-Amir said his properties already comply with the registry. Tupper also said he has no fear about the amendment because he already fills out the correct paperwork. He said the new amendment was created with good intentions, but he believes that the registry will cause more problems than solutions. “I hope that as time goes on they will tweak it,” Tupper said. “That they see some of the mistakes and change the mistakes and try to make it better. That would be my hope.” bmoorman@syr.edu

MARVELOUS MAVEN

PHI 297: “Philosophy of Feminism” TT, 2-3:20 p.m.

rom a young age, Carol Danvers worked as hard as her brothers to be equal in her father’s view. After joining the Air Force and completing many successful missions, she retired as a colonel and joined NASA as the youngest security captain in the organization’s history. She became Ms. Marvel after an accident gave her superhero powers, and she took the name Captain Marvel to continue the legacy of the dead Mar-Vell. Danvers never let gender expectations get in the way of accomplishing her dreams, and neither should you. “Philosophy of Feminism” focuses on ideological debates within feminism about

gender inequality and potential solutions to the problem, said Kara Richardson, an associate professor and the undergraduate director of SU’s philosophy department, in an email. Recent events like the #MeToo movement and revelations about the gender pay gap “show that gaining a better understanding of gender inequality is essential for all of us,” Richardson said. She added that students can gain critical thinking skills to help them address these problems in their social lives.

Each lecture combines the details of biology with examples of how they can be used in new and existing technology — such as trying to recreate the fine structure of leaves and apply it to produce, paint or other surfaces to help shed dirt automatically.

He worked to protect the United States, which came with its own responsibilities and obstacles. “Introduction to Military Culture and Social Work Practice” is taught by former military officer and mental health provider Ken Marfilius. He said the course focuses on understanding military culture and how to appropriately provide clinically and culturally competent services to military populations. SWK 427 covers topics including ethics, domestic violence, PTSD, women ser-

vice members and military sexual trauma. The course is for undergraduate and graduate students. Marfilius said he sees interest across multiple disciplines and majors. The course isn’t just for those interested in social work, and he’s trying to branch out to more students. “We have an obligation to provide the best care for our nation’s heroes,” Marfilius said. He added that, being a military veteran and having been through the system before, he feels adequate training is essential for providing care to military populations. “I think (this course) is one step in the right direction to provide that care for them,” he said.

Full Boar Craft Brewery and Tap Room hosted the beer and doughnut pairing. The event was the first collaboration between the brewery and Glazed & Confused, a local doughnut shop. The event included two sittings, one at 1 p.m. and one at 4 p.m. paul schlesinger staff photographer

Glazed & Confused joins Full Boar Craft Brewery for beer and doughnut pairing By Leah Toney staff writer

ull Boar Craft Brewery and Tap Room was packed with people on Sunday afternoon, all holding wooden paddles that balanced different beers. Colorful doughnuts coated the tables in the back of the brewery. The doughnut station was flooded with guests waiting to try the sugary concoctions, while others crowded the bar, waving their tickets and ready to taste the beer. The brewery teamed up with Glazed & Confused to host a beer and doughnut pairing on South Main Street in North Syracuse. This was the first time the two business collaborated. Their goal was to provide some entertainment, doughnuts and drinks, said Paul Valenti, one of the owners of Glazed & Confused. The event included two seatings — one at 1 p.m. and one at 4 p.m. — and the bar was full of energy. Four beers were distributed, each coinciding with a specific numbered doughnut that guests could try. The brewery has the feel of a sports bar with a ‘70s twist, equipped with a pool table in the back next to a jukebox and dart board. The restaurant, with dim but welcoming lighting, is lined with old-school stools. Guests pushed chairs together to weave conversations, and patrons shared their opinions on the beers and the treats. Valenti described the event as an awesome opportunity to have a little fun. “Full Boar Craft Brewery reached out to me about having a beer and doughnut pairing, and I

Attendees could choose from four doughnuts, each of which was paired with a beer meant to complement its taste. paul schlesinger staff photographer

loved the idea,” Valenti said. “We do interesting combinations all the time here, so the thought of beer and doughnuts wasn’t intimidating.” Glazed & Confused, located in downtown Syracuse, is a doughnut and bakery shop that opened in November. Izabella and Roman Valenti, Valenti’s kids and co-founders of the eatery, coined the name “Glazed & Confused” on their way home

from vacation. And ever since, the family has been working to get their name out and spread the message of good food and good times. Valenti likes to keep his shop like he keeps his doughnuts: inventive and fun. The place is lined with posters, a disco ball and live music to keep the atmosphere lively. “You’re not sure if you are in a bar or a doughnut shop,” Valenti said.

The menu for Sunday’s event included four doughnuts from Glazed & Confused: crowd favorite “The Dizzy Pig,” which includes a maple glaze, bourbon sugar and candied locally-cured bacon; the “Pardon my French Toast” doughnut; a classic chocolate; and a chocolate doughnut stuffed with blackberries and a blackberry glaze. “It was a grueling process picking the right beers and doughnuts, but we ended up getting it done,” brewery co-owner David Marchant said. “It got a little crazy, which was expected, but it was definitely fun.” Marchant said they offered 200 tickets total for the two seatings, and the event ended up being sold out. Co-owner Eric Petranchuk said that the “Gramma’s Pajamas” beer was a popular one, followed by the blackberry ale that was paired with the chocolate doughnut with the blackberry glaze. Michelle Dellini, from Glazed & Confused, thought the event went as planned. “This was a really cool thing to be a part of,” she said. “Glazed & Confused has really been coming up in Syracuse. People are really enjoying what we put out there, and we are loving the response tonight.” The brewery was never silent: People were squeezing through chairs, meeting new people and getting second helpings. “I definitely want to do more of these in the future,” Marchant said. “We were hoping for a good time, and that’s just what we got.” ltoney@syr.edu

No. 25 Syracuse decimated in 7-0 loss at No. 18 Miami

By KJ Edelman staff writer

No. 25 Syracuse (14-5, 6-5 Atlantic Coast) lost its second match in three days to No. 18 Miami (12-6, 8-3), 7-0, in Coral Gables, Florida. After a 2-4 loss to Florida State on Friday, SU has dropped two consecutive matches for the first time all season. No. 12 Gabriela Knutson and Miranda Ramirez opened the doubles portion with a

6-3 victory over Miami’s No. 66 Estela PerezSomarriba and Daniella Roldan, but the Orange could not capitalize. With all three of UM’s doubles pairings ranked in the top-90, SU fell in second and third doubles to drop the first point of the match. UM’s No. 75 Sinead Lohan only gave up two games to Ramirez in second singles en route to a 6-1, 6-1 victory. After Masha Tritou fell 3-6, 3-6 in fourth singles, No. 10 Knutson and No. 6 Perez-Somarriba battled

with the match on the line. Knutson held serve in the first set until the tenth game to drop the first set, 4-6. After a similar start to the second set, Knutson ultimately fell to Perez-Somarriba in straightsets, 4-6, 4-6, to clinch the match for UM. Knutson’s defeat to Perez-Somarriba is only her second loss on the season, both against players currently top 10 in the nation. After taking the first set, 6-3, Sofya Golubovskaya lost after a third-set super

monster jam The full conversion of an arena costs anywhere from $250,000 to $1 million, Olinski said. The traveling crew of Monster Jam set up in the parking lot in between Dineen Hall and Campus West early last week, blocking off part of the stadium lot to house its equipment. Monster Jam brought nine trucks called “haulers” that lug the monster trucks around the country. Five of the haulers are big enough to hold two trucks at a time, while the other four carry one each. The company has four other trucks: two for merchandise and two for operations. Starting April 4, the staff towed the monster trucks, which weigh about 10,000 pounds each, into the Dome. Sala and Olinski work hand in hand to both prepare the Dome and ensure the safety of SU students in the setup process. The process begins one week before fans pour into the stadium for the event. Dirt is excavated from an open field on SU’s campus, near the Skytop Office building. The Monster Jam crew uses its eight trucks to move 175 truckloads of dirt, about 3,500 cubic yards in total, into the Dome. After the event, the dirt is returned into the ground and closely monitored for quality assurance. Sometimes, the clay-based dirt will be covered to prevent it from becoming too moist. “They cover it throughout the year to make sure the proper moisture gets in and then they screen it if they need to keep the rocks out,” Olinski said.

The monster trucks at Monster Jam weigh about 10,000 pounds each. They were moved into the Carrier Dome starting on April 4. max freund staff photographer

While Monster Jam handles the dirt, the Dome staff lays down the initial layer of plastic and plywood. After SU’s home lacrosse game on April 3, Sala said that his team of about 50 students and six older staff members put down two layers of plastic and two one-inch layers of plywood, in that order. The base covering protects the turf and sets a broad base that the dirt could be placed on. While the dirt was trucked in on Wednesday, the event staff closely regulated traffic on Forestry Drive near the Dome for parts of the day. This allowed the trucks to move in and out

of the Stadium Control entrance below Gate B, Sala said. “We work with the Dome to make sure we have security to manage getting everything into the dome,” Olinski said. After the dirt is moved inside, 30 of the Monster Jam staff members use heavy machinery to turn the dirt into a monster truck course. The nine-inch layer of dirt, plus the plywood and plastic, provides nearly a foot of cushion between the surface of the dirt and the underlying Dome turf. Monster Jam’s staff of 55 includes 14 mon-

tiebreak in third singles, 6-3, 5-7, 0-1 (9-11). In similar fashion, Dina Hegab gave UM their seventh point of the afternoon in a 3-6, 6-2, 0-1 (9-11) loss in the sixth slot. Sunday’s 7-0 loss at Neil Schiff Tennis Center marks the only time the team has been shutout this season. Syracuse will look to end its losing streak when the Orange face No. 3 Duke on Friday at Drumlins Country Club. kjedelma@syr.edu

ster truck drivers, 20 crewmen and 10 track engineers. The engineers work with the crewmen inside the Dome to pile up the dirt to create multiple jumps, turns and hills. On Friday afternoon, Monster Jam offered a chance for fans to attend a Pit Party where they could meet drivers and see the monster trucks up close. The Dome filled with students, young children and adults walking on the dirt that the trucks would drive across roughly 24 hours later. “They’re like the Globetrotters, they know how to advertise, they do a great job marketing,” Sala said. “The event is really successful.” The event went off without a hitch, beginning at 7 p.m. Saturday. Monster Jam began the breakdown process after fans left the arena. Traffic on Forestry Drive was again halted just after 11 p.m. to allow all of the monster trucks to leave the Dome and head back to the haulers. Teardown goes similarly to setup. The Monster Jam staff piled up the dirt and removed it from the Dome the same way it entered. Once event traffic cleared, the trucks full with dirt began rolling, this time back to Skytop. Then on Sunday morning, Sala’s crew of students came to tear out the plywood and remove the plastic. Syracuse University is hosting a reception in the Carrier Dome on Monday afternoon and evening for accepted students to come tour the school and experience the Dome. And from a glance, no one will know that less than 48 hours earlier, 14 monster trucks rampaged over 3,500 cubic yards of dirt. amdabbun@syr.edu

carey pick-up game. Carey’s father utilized that injury to develop his son’s left hand, his weak side. For several months that year, Carey dribbled exclusively with his left hand. He didn’t have an option because his right arm was wrapped in a cast. Carey and his father credit his ability to drive left so well to his intense dribbling workouts, which trace back to that right-arm injury 12 years ago. So it comes as little surprise that Carey is not more than “a little frustrated” that he didn’t play this weekend in the 2018 Jordan Brand Classic, a high school all-star game played at the Barclays Center in front of dozens of NBA scouts. Carey will replicate his post-injury workout routine from his early years by training every day with his left hand over the next eight weeks. “Just lefty work,” Carey said. “Work my off hand with my dad, my trainers.” Carey committed to Syracuse last October, choosing to join former commit Darius Bazley and the Orange. He was supposed to pair up with Bazley as one of two Syracuse commits in the Jordan Brand Classic. But neither represented SU in the game. Bazley decommitted on March 29, and Carey broke the finger on Wednesday in a workout near his home. Some of the best players in the country on Sunday night described Carey’s game — what from page 16

bazley game, and for those watching on national television, Bazley gave a clear indication that he is a Top-10 talent and that he would have been a big-time contributor to the Orange as a freshman in the 2018-19 season. After the game, some of the best players in the country described Bazley as sneaky, athletic, long and quick. He is versatile, for he offered the dozens of NBA scouts on hand glimpses of an ability to play the 3 or stretch 4 positions. And he is assertive: He took the ball to the basket off the dribble on most of his touches, starting with his very first. He dunked four times. “I wish he came to ‘Cuse,” said Syracuse com-

he would have displayed in the Jordan Brand Classic. They described him as a do-it-all player and combo guard who can defend well on the perimeter. “Jalen’s nice,” said Bazley, a five-star forward. “He’s a tall guard. He can really shoot the ball, he has a good feel for the game. He’s really smooth. I think he’s going to excel at Syracuse.” Coby White, a North Carolina commit and the all-time leading scorer in North Carolina high school basketball history who ranked No. 19 in his class, once played against Carey when they were 16. Carey scored 20 points, White estimated, from nowhere in particular on the floor. He scored from 3-point range, midrange and via dribble drives. “He killed us. He gave us buckets,” White said. “He is straight buckets. He’s from Harlem, so he plays with that chip on his shoulder.” But nobody saw Carey play this weekend.He was performing a jumping exercise last week with a light dumbbell for resistance. He slipped on a mat below, and the weight slipped from his hands and fell on his middle finger. His finger swelled up and the tip was crooked, he said. Over the next month or two, Carey will run sprints, perform hundreds of pushups every day and do pull-ups in a nearby park while strengthening his left hand. “My game could elevate more than what it is now,” Carey said. “I’m not a big fan of lifting. Just perfecting my craft … Usually I have injumit Jalen Carey, who did not play in the game due to an injury. “I wish him the best of luck.” On March 29, Bazley, 17, decommitted from Syracuse to turn professional in the NBA G League. The No. 9 recruit in ESPN’s 2018 rankings, Bazley committed to SU in July 2017. The 6-foot-9 power forward out of Princeton (Cincinnati) High School headlined Syracuse’s 2018 recruiting class that features No. 37 recruit Carey and Buddy Boeheim, son of SU head coach Jim Boeheim. Cam Reddish, the No. 3 overall high school senior and a Duke commit, said he found out Bazley decommitted when he landed back home from the McDonald’s All-American game. Reddish would have played against Bazley as a member of the Blue Devils. “My first reaction was like, Wow, that was

ries and I play through it. But this one, I had to tell my mom to take me to the doctor.” Carey will arrive at SU in the second summer session, beginning July 2. Several members of his family were at Barclays Center on Sunday afternoon. A large billboard on 34th Street in Manhattan featured Carey, to which he wrote on Twitter: “Growing up in a rough place, to seeing

billboards with my face.” “Just taking it all in,” Carey said. “Seizing the moment, enjoying every bit of it. I’m going to be expected to do major things next year.” Carey added that he wants to wear No. 0 with Syracuse next season. Because, in his mind, that’s how many defenders will be able to guard him.

He has all of the things to be a great, great basketball player.” The Bazley that could have arrived in Syracuse later this year walked out of the Barclays Center on Sunday night toward a new chapter in his life, which is shaping up to be a high-profile and possible illustrious basketball career. At around 7:20 p.m., Bazley walked down a ramp in the bowels of Barclays Center, wearing a dark blue, backward-facing hat. In bold, block lettering, it had an orange “S,” for Syracuse.

I got on a flight, got home and boom that happened right when I landed.” Coby White, ranked No. 19 in his class, a North Carolina commit, said he first saw Bazley on the AAU circuit two years ago. Both were sophomores at the time. Bazley scored from all over the court, White said. But more than

In preparation for Monster Jam, eight trucks combined to move 175 truckloads of dirt from a field near the Skytop Office building. In total, 3,500 cubic yards of dirt were moved into the Carrier Dome, starting a week before the event. The dirt is piled 9 inches deep on top of plywood, plastic and the Dome’s turf. max freund staff photographer

Monster makeover Every year, the Carrier Dome is transformed from sports stadium to monster truck venue

By Anthony Dabbundo staff writer

even years ago, Pete Sala, Syracuse University’s chief facilities officer, had an idea to increase the use of the Carrier Dome and house events outside of SU Athletics. At the time, Monster Jam, a traveling monster truck exhibition, hosted an annual outdoor event at the nearby New York State Fairgrounds. Sala combined his enjoyment for the event with his desire to expand the Dome’s use to create a new tradition: Monster Jam in the Carrier Dome. Sala worked in connection with Feld Entertainment to bring Monster Jam into the Dome. The two sides met in the summer of 2011 and agreed the stadium could handle the makeover and turnover

required to pull off that type of event. Now, the event is held annually in the Carrier Dome, bringing tens of thousands of fans to watch the oversized cars. The Dome, known best for its raucous environment during Syracuse sporting events, is transformed into a spectacle on dirt for fans to watch monster trucks go over jumps, crush cars and drive through the course. Monster Jam travels from city to city, putting on shows across the country. It arrived in Syracuse last week to set up the operation to transform the arena. “We tried to bring something inside, keep fans a little bit warmer,” Steve Olinski, Monster Jam’s company manager, said. “Pete’s a big fan of Monster Jam, so getting us in here was a big feather in his cap.” see monster

Bazley shows what could’ve been Carey misses all-star game due to injury By Matthew Gutierrez senior staff writer

NEW YORK — The Darius Bazley who could have been at Syracuse this fall wore a stern face Sunday night at Barclays Center following the 2018 Jordan Brand Classic. As reporters flocked to the Top-10 recruit, he reflected on what was lined up BAZLEY to be, what could have transpired in central New York beginning this fall and the type of

player he could have been at SU. “The hardest thing was not being able to play in a type of situation like that, the Carrier Dome,” Bazley said. “That probably would’ve been an amazing experience, but I’m going to play at the NBA level and that’s” — he paused for two seconds — “And that’s better than … You’re in an NBA arena. “When I was out there, my heart was just beating,” Bazley continued. “I’m looking around like, ‘Wow.’ One day, I’ll be able to play against somebody here or play here. But, the biggest thing, the hardest thing giving up was stepping

away from those coaches. I had such a good relationship with (Coach Allen Griffin), and it was really hard to kind of separate myself from that and be able to walk away from that situation.” The decision to decommit from Syracuse and head straight to the G League has passed. Over 17 minutes Sunday night, Bazley scored 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds. He shot 5-of-9, dished out a pair of assists and blocked one shot, which he turned into a transition twohanded dunk for himself. For the few Syracuse fans on hand at the see bazley page 15

NEW YORK — The injury bug that swarmed over nearly half of the Syracuse rotation for much of last season — Bourama Sidibe, Howard Washington and Matthew Moyer each fell victim CAREY

and missed significant time — has trickled into the offseason and hit incoming freshman Jalen Carey. Carey, a four-star guard and 2,000-point scorer from Immaculate Conception (New Jersey) High School, is out for about eight weeks with a broken middle finger on his right hand. But an injury involving Carey’s right arm is not unique, as he broke it as a 6-year-old after he tried to block his father’s shot in a see carey page 15
