SA bylaws now allow leaders to start work over summer By India Miraglia asst. news editor

ackenzie Mertikas and Sameeha Saied have used the summer months to get a head start on planning initiatives for the upcoming year as president and vice president of Syracuse University’s Student Association. Mertikas and Saied have enjoyed a jump start that no other SA leaders have gotten. A recent change in SA’s

bylaws allowed Mertikas and Saied to act in their full capacity as president and vice president starting at the end of the spring semester. Previous administrations could not be sworn in until August. The pair have been able to introduce themselves as SA’s leaders to people they work with and start organizing initiatives for the beginning of the fall semester – namely Mental Health Awareness Week, improving SA’s internal culture and working with the first-

Bike-share program to operate on SU campus By Gillian Follett asst. copy editor

A new Syracuse bike-share program will begin to operate on the Syracuse University campus in the coming weeks. The program, called Syracuse Sync, is a collaboration between the city and Gotcha, nation-wide mobility service company that allows customers to rent electronic

bikes and scooters from one location and return them to another site. By using the Gotcha app, users can pay for their rental transportation by the minute or through a monthly or annual plan. The Syracuse program only includes electronic bikes. In the coming weeks, Gotcha plans to install bike hubs — sites where bikes can be rented and returned — in four locations on the SU campus,

said Gotcha’s CEO Sean Flood. The hubs will be located at the intersection of University Avenue and Marshall Street, outside of Bird Library, on Stadium Place in front of Lawrinson Hall and outside the Goldstein Student Center. “It’s almost effortless to bike between the campus and downtown, and I think we’re going to see more connectivity between the university and the city with the sys-

tem,” Flood said. SU was involved in the development of the Syracuse Sync program and worked with Gotcha and the city to create a system that would help connect the campus and downtown Syracuse, the CEO said. He added the close partnership between the university and the city, as well as their joint interest in introducing alternate modes see bike

Syracuse University’s chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity is moving into 1105 Harrison St., the building that previously housed the now-expelled Theta Tau fraternity. Phi Gamma Delta, commonly known as “Fiji,” used to reside at 727 Comstock Ave. The Zeta Psi fraternity recently reformed at SU after being shut down in 2007. Fiji’s lease there ended on June 30, said Doug Golden, president of the fraternity’s House Corporation, in an email. “For the long-term stability of our undergraduate chapter at Syracuse, the move was a necessity,” he said. “Our previous housing situation was drawing to a close so to ensure our undergraduates had a place to call theirs to hold meetings and social events was our top priority.” Fiji entered into a long-term lease for the house, Golden said.

Zeta Psi has leased the house on Comstock Ave. to other fraternities since its national chapter shut it down in 2007 following a series of offenses. SU has since invited the fraternity to return to campus, according to the Zeta Psi website. As of August, the chapter has been completely reformed at SU, said Lauck Walton, executive director of the Zeta Psi Fraternity, Inc., in an email. SU’s Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs lists Zeta Psi as one of the 16 Interfraternity Council fraternities active at SU on its website. Zeta Psi offered Fiji a short extension to continue living at the house on Comstock Avenue, but decided to look for a long-term solution, said Fiji president Jared Bonina in an email. “After evaluating a handful of available options, the property at 1105 Harrison seemed to fit our needs from a size and budget see houses page 4

Construction continues on veterans center Newhouse to hold dean search forum By Emma Folts

The $62.5 million National Veterans Resource Center, at the corner of Waverly and South Crouse avenues, will consolidate Syracuse University’s veterans services. Construction advanced on the building during the summer. elizabeth billman asst. photo editor By Gabe Stern

asst. news editor

After years of planning and construction, the interior of the National Veterans Resource Center at Syracuse University began to take shape this summer. The $62.5 million center is expected to open to the SU community in January 2020. The building will centralize the university’s veteran and military-related services and provide vocational and educational programming for veterans at SU and across central New York.

“What this facility really does is plant a flag for this university that we’re in this for the long haul,” said Mike Haynie, SU’s vice chancellor for strategic initiatives and innovation, at a May press conference. “It’s something that we’re going to be committed to for the long haul.” Significant progress was made on the complex over the summer: crews installed plumbing systems, framed the interior walls and made progress on the exterior building enclosure, according to monthly construction updates from Pete Sala, SU’s vice president and chief facilities officer.

Once completed, the NVRC will feature a 3,700 square-foot event space, information lab and resource centers for veterans at SU and across central New York. The facility will house the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, the university’s Reserve Officer Training Corps programs and the Office of Veteran and Military Affairs. Military-connected students make up 5% of SU’s student body, Haynie said at the May press conference. In October, the Military Times ranked SU as the nation’s top private school and fourth-best

university for veterans to attend. The NVRC is part of SU’s Campus Framework initiative, a 20-year plan to transform facilities across campus through a wide range of construction projects. Multiple other projects are currently under construction, including the Barnes Center at The Arch, a replacement of the Carrier Dome roof and renovations to Schine Student Center. Other projects have been completed, including the $6 million installation of the University Place Promenade. gkstern@syr.edu

Tuition drops for University College students By Richard J Chang asst. copy editor

Part-time students at Syracuse University will see a drop in their tuition rates moving forward. University College reduced tuition rates, previously $879 per credit hour, will now be $695 per credit hour. UC offers classes for part-time enrolled students who want to finish a degree, credentials or certificate from most of the schools and colleges on SU’s campus. Students at the college often work full-time jobs during the day and take classes between working hours, said UC Dean Michael Frasciello. People who take UC courses earn an average of six credits per semester. Frasciello said UC students juggling jobs with their education will have more support covering expenses such as child care and transport

with the reduced tuition. “Part-time students, if they’re traveling to take classes during the day or coming in the evenings, in many cases they are paying for child care, parking on and off campus,” Frasciello said. “By reducing the part-time tuition rate, we are reducing the financial burden on the non-traditional student population that in many cases struggles to complete a degree.” Many older adults finishing a degree typically do not receive financial aid and rely on private loans, he added. While UC is decreasing tuition costs for students, the college also plans to add at least two more Bachelor’s degree programs over the next three years. The college will also offer additional online eightweek long courses. Frasciello said implementing new programs does not affect the tuition cost. Frasciello added that while the

tuition cost is decreasing, what UC did is reset the tuition. The college decided to reset the cost per credit to a price that was, in past years, suitable to this group of students based on studies about part-time students. “By reducing part-time tuition rate, we are eliminating some financial barriers to the university and, at the same time, improving access to the campus,” he said. This past summer, UC started to match tuition funds equal to the tuition that the Department of Defense covers through the tuition assistance program for active duty military students admitted to an online undergraduate program. The military tuition assistance program is a benefit for members of the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. Each service pays tuition expenses for eligible members up to a certain amount, which varies by military service and changes every year.

UC also offers a tuition assistance coverage for members of the New York State Air National Guard. Students who are admitted to an online undergraduate program at SU will pay a cost equivalent to the Recruitment Incentive and Retention Program. RIRP is a New York State program implemented to retain members of state military forces, such as the Air National Guard, and pays tuition for those who attend State University of New York schools up to a certain amount. “We did determine that we should extend it to New York State Air National Guard because SU prioritizes making the university accessible to student populations who cannot be here full-time,” Frasciello said. “The university is also committed to being the number one school for veteran and military connected students.” rjchang@syr.edu

The dean search committee of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications is hosting two public forums to help its search for the school’s next permanent leader. SU created the search committee in July, three months after Dean Lorraine Branham died of cancer. Amy Falkner, an associate professor at Newhouse, was appointed interim Newhouse dean in April. Students, staff and faculty are invited to ask questions and offer input to assist the search for a new permanent dean, according to a Thursday email from the Office of the Provost to Newhouse faculty. The student body has not received the email, which was obtained by The Daily Orange. The search committee’s first task is to form a description of the dean’s position, allowing the position’s opening to be known to those qualified to apply. Forum attendees are welcomed to help “set the direction of the search,” according to the email. Those unable to attend the forums can email their input to John Wildhack and Craig Boise, the co-chairs of the search committee. Two Newhouse students, senior magazine major Jonathan Chau and doctoral student Laura CanuelasTorres, sit on the committee. The forums are both held in Newhouse’s Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium on Tuesday, Sept. 3. The first will take place from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. and the second from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m. esfolts@syr.edu | @emmafolts

sa leaders Much of their summer work has focused on continuing projects that were previously established by past SA administrations, Mertikas said. The initiatives include partnering with ridehailing company Lyft, working with SU’s athletics department to provide free tickets to sporting games and facilitating STI screenings through the Office of Health Promotion. Once the semester starts and the two meet with their cabinet members, they will start to focus on the big ideas that come up in those meetings, Mertikas said. “We want to be giving the committees and assembly a lot of freedom to do other things,” Saied said. “Our attention is going to shift a little bit once the year starts just because we’re going to have so many more ideas flowing and so much more going on.” The two will also look to their cabinet and committees when working on ideas and initiatives from their campaign – something that they would have easier access to once the school from page 1

bike share of transportation to Syracuse, was a driving force behind the project. Gotcha worked closely with the city for over a year to determine the locations of 35 bike hubs, said Paul Colabufo, the community manager of Gotcha. Of the 35, four include the planned sites on the university’s campus. The other 31 hubs are currently in operation throughout the city and include locations outside of Syracuse Stage and the E.M. Mills Rose Garden, Flood said. Representatives from Mayor Ben Walsh’s office considered the city’s bike lanes, bus stops and popular destinations when selecting appropriate locations for the bike hubs, Colabufo said. He said Gotcha ensured hubs weren’t located too far apart and were placed in locations with the necessary population density to be useful. Syracuse was interested in bringing a bike-

year starts. But in the months leading up to the first meeting, the two have capitalized on past initiatives. Over the summer, Mertikas and Sameeha began organizing Mental Health Awareness Week--an event to bring awareness to different aspects of mental health. They worked to set up a schedule for the week so that they could request funding when they return to SU, Mertikas said. The event is held in October, relatively early in the semester, which is part of the reason why they decided to start planning it in the summer, Mertikas said. Because of their summer work, they won’t have to focus last-minute on the week, she said. “We’re really going to work on emphasizing all of the different parts of mental health,” Mertikas added. The two also want to improve SA’s internal culture and ensure the organization is a safe and respectful space, Saied said. Mertikas said they want everyone in SA to be on the same page, knowing what is expected of them. This comes after SA investigated several campaigns for

alleged infractions during the last election cycle. “We want to make sure that we’re being as productive as we can with the time that we have and with the influence that we have as an organization,” Saied said. Saied spent the summer working on SU’s first-year experience both as SA vice president and through her internship with the Office of First Year and Transfer Programs. She attended a June conference on successful first-year seminars and sat in on weekly meetings on campus as a student voice for SU’s first-year experience over the summer. While Saied was in Syracuse for the summer, Mertikas was in New Jersey. Being in different space was the hardest part of the summer for them, Mertikas said, but they developed a system that allowed them to find time to talk about and work on SA. Often that time was during Mertikas’ two-hour commute from work to home, and she would call Saied while on the train. “It’s good that we have time to just sit down and (talk about) everything that comes to mind,” Mertikas said.

share system to the city for several years after witnessing the success of systems in other cities, said Eric Ennis, Syracuse’s director of business development. The city received proposals from several different bike-share companies to create a program, but ultimately chose Gotcha because of its commitment to helping low-income individuals, he said. “Something that was really important to the city was equity and creating a program that was going to be affordable and open for everyone to use,” Ennis said. Gotcha is in the process of developing a feature that will allow individuals receiving public assistance to receive reduced rates for their rentals and pricing plans, a feature that will be implemented in Syracuse once it is completed, Ennis said. The electronic bikes are designed to work year-round in a wide range of weather conditions, Colabufo said. The bikes’ electronic motors enable riders to travel at a faster pace with less physical exertion and to easily

pedal uphill, he said. The sturdy tires and lack of chains enable the bikes to withstand snowy and rainy conditions better than ordinary bikes. With Syracuse’s recent projects to add bike lanes throughout the city, the Syracuse Sync bike program is the natural next step in creating a “bike culture” in Syracuse, Colabufo said. The bike-share system will make it easier for Syracuse residents to navigate the city while also saving them money and reducing the carbon emissions from their cars, hopefully encouraging more residents to consider biking as a viable form of transportation, he said. “There are many benefits for many different types of people,” Colabufo said. “Very shortly, Syracuse is going to be a place where there are a lot more options to get around than just a car. Bikes will make commuting in all ways shapes and forms easier and more convenient.”

houses standpoint,” he said. “Moving there will allow our House Corporation to focus on longer term goals to support our needs as a chapter.” The Theta Tau engineering fraternity resided in the house at 1105 Harrison St. until SU permanently expelled the chapter in April 2018. SU expelled the organization after videos surfaced showing people in the fraternity’s house participating in activities Chancellor Kent Syverud called “extremely racist, antiSemitic, homophobic, sexist, and hostile to people with disabilities.” Bonina said the members of Fiji “neither defend nor rationalize” Theta Tau’s actions. “Those actions are unacceptable in any time or context and are incompatible with the values of our fraternity that call us to respect the dignity of all persons,” he said. Before any Zeta Psi fraternity members can move into the house on Comstock Avenue, a series of renovations will have to be made on the house, Walton said. The alumni association has not yet fully determined how expansive the renovations will be or the timeline of them, he said. Interior improvements Fiji made to its new location on Harrison Street include paint, new flooring and new furniture, Golden said. The fraternity’s property management firm, located in Syracuse, oversaw the renovations, he said. Fiji is currently under disciplinary probation until October, according to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs’ website. The fraternity’s status has no effect on its move, Bonina said. “We are excited at what is planned and look forward to showing off the changes to the campus community over time,” Bonina said. india@dailyorange.com | @IndyRow

Baby boomer politics could be ending

moderate

Consent education should occur yearly

Joe Biden could be part of the final wave of baby boomer politicians

n Friday, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden referenced the 1968 assassinations of his political heroes Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. He would go on to describe how his time in college during the late 60’s was the start of his political awakening, leading up to his first Senate run in 1972. Biden is a politician of a different era with a record that dates back to the end of segregation and the Vietnam War, and a series of references that most voters are increasingly detached from. The 76-year-old Biden and 73-year-old President Trump both have strong positions in their respective parties, but the 2020 election may mark the end of the baby boomer’s time on the national stage. “Age is catching up to us,” said Stephen C. Craig, a political science professor at the University of Florida. “Each party needs a new generation of leaders, and I think next time around we’ll see that.” Ostensibly, Biden’s time in the limelight should have already passed — his campaigns have proven unsuccessful twice already.

A STEP TO THE RIGHT trip over each other to see who can apologize most sincerely and who will give away more of other people’s money. Meanwhile, Biden waxes nostalgic on the campaign trail about his salad days working alongside the Senate’s most ardent segregationists — and he’s winning. Biden understands his constituency, and he’s almost exclusively supported by older, moderate voters. Young progressives are generating tremendous enthusiasm, but Democrats won’t need Queens, New York to win the 2020 election but an improved performance in the Midwest. “To win, I think you need to connect with the white working class, and the Clinton campaign didn’t pay any attention to them,” said Craig. “I believe that Biden has the potential to appeal to that group in a way no other candidate can.” Looming large over the Democrat nominating process is President Donald Trump, a baby boomer icon in his own right.

by appealing to a particular slice of baby boomer nostalgia — draftdodging, Studio-54 attending casino owner whose campaign slogan pulled no punches in longing for better times. Trump versus Biden would be a fitting end to the noisiest generation’s dominance of the cultural and political landscape. Change is ahead for both parties. Republicans have painted themselves into a corner, courting all of the country’s shrinking demographics while offending all of its growing demographics. Meanwhile, the Democrats have a bonafide grassroots movement on their hands, one with no shortage of criticism for the party orthodoxy and its older, whiter constituents. But for now, it appears that the baby boomers won’t go quietly into the night, and the ballot boxes will hold one last contest between candidates who remember soda fountains.

n July, Syracuse University released a statement confirming that a student accused of rape in New Jersey in 2017 no longer attends the univerLAUREN sity. The case SPIEZIA sparked mass NEITHER BLUE media attention NOR RED after the presiding judge’s decision to grant the student leniency was overturned by a division of the New Jersey Superior Court in June. Syracuse University already offers a number of resources and training programs related to sexual misconduct for its students and staff, but the school should implement mandatory, yearly education for all students about sexual assault prevention. Anthony D’Angelo, an SU public relations professor, believes that shocking events like this one can be a catalyst for change in an organization. “A call to action can come from everywhere, including a situation that causes outrage,” he said. Currently, the school requires that all first-year students attend “Speak About It,” a presentation that discusses sexual violence and consent during Welcome Week. They must also complete an EVERFI online training module about sexual assault prevention. The Office of Equal Opportunity, Inclusion, and Resolution Services (OEOIRS) also offers a variety of

sexual assault prevention training seminars available to staff, faculty and students. They can be requested specifically by professors, sports teams or clubs. But these programs are not mandatory for every single student. A comprehensive program for students to participate in every academic year would be beneficial. Educating students about sexual assault prevention on a yearly basis instead of just once would offer the opportunity to present multiple perspectives related to the issue. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggests promoting social norms that deter sexual violence and encouraging women’s empowerment. “[Education] is a key to prevention,” said Christina Percoski, a training and development specialist in the university’s OEOIRS. “It is important to make sure there is shared understanding of what affirmative consent is and what healthy relationships look like.” Implementing yearly education about sexual assault prevention would not only help students on an individual level, but make Syracuse a safer place to live and study.

hen she was a graduate student at the University of Michigan, Amanda Eubanks Winkler studied microfilms at the request of an adviser. Eubanks Winkler said she was fascinated by what she found — music from a 17th century restoration production of Macbeth featuring singing and dancing witches. She said the witches sounded jolly, rather than dissonant, and this intrigued her. Now, Eubanks Winkler, an associate professor of music history and cultures at Syracuse University, is the international co-investigator of the Performing Restoration Shakespeare project, which stages adaptations of Shakespeare from

the Restoration period. As part of the project, she incorporated the singing witches music from the microfilm into a performance of Macbeth at the Folger Theatre in 2018. Eubanks Winkler works with Richard Schoch, a professor of drama at Queen’s University Belfast and the principal investigator of the project. The research project, which is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, involves collaboration between artists and scholars and focuses on staging Restoration adaptations of Shakespeare’s works.

focus is to spotlight artists from central New York. The $3,000 grant is commonly used by recipients to pursue creative endeavors, said Cjala Surratt, Light Work’s promotions coordinator. Khalid’s grant is allowing her to travel to New York City to photograph immigrants from Muslim countries. As an immigrant herself, she said she bases a lot of her work on home and identity. “You are always seen as an outsider,” she said. Her self-portraits are inspired by homeland, identity and culture, as she uses documentary photography to expose her own

life and truth. Surratt said the exhibition is a time and place to celebrate their work. She added that the recipients’ work will also be featured in Contact Sheet, Light Works’ photography publication, giving them an opportunity to expand their platform. Clement, who is based in Syracuse, describes himself as a successful failure. He began as a musician and started practicing photography while in school. He said that through photography, he has tried to match his work to the “intensity and satisfaction I found playing in a see grant page 8

shakespeare showcase featured reprises of past performances of Macbeth and The Tempest, a discussion session and an audience Q&A. Performing Restoration Shakespeare also produced a series of six documentary videos about their 2018 production of a Restoration adaptation of Macbeth at the Folger Theatre. The final four installments of these documentary videos were released two weeks ago, and all of them are available on Performing Restoration Shakespeare’s YouTube channel. The Restoration period is the time between 1660 and 1714, when the theaters reopened after being closed for almost 20 years. According to Schoch, this time period is characterized by “a great sense of freedom.” “They were determined to do everything they could to make theater a kind of wondrous, spectacular, enchanting experience for audiences that had been denied theater for nearly two decades,” Schoch said. Restoration productions included music, dancing and extravagant scenery, according to Schoch. Actresses replaced the actors from page 7

grant violent, hardcore punk band. I understood where the goalpost was — going hard, going for pain.” Clement expressed that the theme of empathy is embodied within his work. Winning the grant has helped him achieve his mission of empathy, he said, as the exhibition will allow people to connect with the photographers and experience those emotions collectively. “It’s like music,” Clement said, “you can write all these songs, but in the end, you want to play them and have that impact and connection.” Resinger, whose work is inspired by her Hungarian heritage, said she hopes that her photographs are able to interest viewers, even if they don’t directly relate to the subject matter.

who had previously performed the parts of women characters. Eubanks Winkler said that many themes presented in Restoration drama are relevant to us today, noting how many Restoration works deal with gender hierarchies, religious strife and divided political systems. “I think that people who would read Restoration drama or see it performed would find a lot of really interesting analogies between their time and our time, because they were really interested in some of the same questions as we are today,” Eubanks Winkler said. Eubanks Winkler added that some scholars discount Restoration Shakespeare productions because many Restoration adaptations of Shakespeare’s works changed the language used in Shakespeare’s original works and added additional characters. But Eubanks Winkler said that Restoration Shakespeare plays cannot be fully understood unless they are staged, because they are multimedia works. “They involve speech and acting; they involve dance, and they involve a lot of music and a lot of special effects,” Eubanks Winkler said. “And so if you put all those constituent She said in an email that she hopes for her work to replicate the way a book written in the 1800s “can captivate the reader’s attention and draw them into a world so far from their own.” Resinger uses a 4-inch by 5-inch camera to depict a variety of scenes of Hungarian life, with the goal of preserving the culture and bringing it to the Light Work gallery. She said since receiving the grant, it has given her a confidence boost along with finding a sense of community. The upcoming exhibition will be a place for members of the central New York community to explore the worlds that the three grant recipients have captured. “Something about pain experienced collectively is kind of beautiful and strangely magical,” said Clement. “My job as an artist is to keep the world magical in a way.” kabrenna@syr.edu

parts in place, then you can see that these are really wonderful and stage-worthy works.” Kathleen Lynch, the director of the Folger Institute, said that incorporating music into a tragedy like Macbeth seems unfamiliar to us today even though it happened early on during the Restoration period, or what Schoch describes as “the first generation to do Shakespeare after Shakespeare.”

“Shakespeare as we know him in performance has been a product of adaptation from almost the very beginning,” Lynch said. “And that’s what this project has helped us see.” Eubanks Winkler and Schoch did not know each other before they began work on the Performing Restoration Shakespeare project. Lynch asked if Eubanks Winkler and Schoch would be willing to work with each other, and in 2014, they put on a workshop where they staged scenes from Restoration Shakespeare productions. Eubanks Winkler said that their partnership was “kind of an arranged academic marriage.” The Performing Restoration Shakespeare project is a collaborative effort between scholars and artists, in which actors, musicians and scholars work together to stage productions. “One of the really unique parts of it, is that scholars and artists are working together throughout the entire rehearsal process, which is extremely unusual,” Schoch said. “So it’s a way of bringing the university and theater business together, and to see how both partners, both sides can enrich the work.” ackrayna@syr.edu

Each entrepreneur launches a new cuisine. the current cuisine that is being prepared by chef Sangabo Abdi, who cooks recipes passed down through orally. common Somali dishes including Baasto, a dish that’s similar to the Italian Bolognese dish.

angabo Abdi’s dream was to open her own restaurant, and With Love, a local restaurant, is making that happen. Located on North Salina Street, With Love brings in a new entrepreneur-in-residence every six months, giving chefs the opportunity to showcase different cuisines to the community. Earlier this month, With Love transitioned its menu. The restaurant now serves Somali food made by Abdi, the new entrepreneur-in-residence. “I love cooking because where I grew up, we always cook… for our family, relatives, visitors, all of our neighbors as they come to visit us,” Abdi said. Program manager Joseph Bilecki, who’s worked in the food service industry for 35 years, said that his experience working with Abdi is a unique one, as most chefs typically bring in their own cookbook recipes. But with Abdi growing up in Somalia, the recipes she learned were passed down orally. Part

With Love, Restaurant features new menu line-up of the process involved sitting down and recording the recipes. He said for Abdi, recreating these recipes at the restaurant helps her preserve the cuisine and traditions of Somalia. “A lot of that stuff might get lost because it was only oral tradition and if she doesn’t get that written down, it could just go away,” Bilecki said. When With Love introduces a new cuisine to its community, the restaurant aims to expose customers to try new cuisines while maintaining a comfortable atmosphere. Bilecki said that in the Somali dishes featured at With Love, the spices tell a story of Abdi’s heritage. With Somalia being a former colony of Italy, many of the dishes are pasta-based, something people may be surprised by when flavors like cumin, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon are

also commonplace, he said. Featured in the new menu is Baasto – a dish that mirrors the Italian Bolognese but differs in containing spices and flavors that define Somali cuisine, rather than the traditional Italian herbs of basil and oregano, Bilecki said. Other dishes served in the restaurant consist of four starters and five main dishes. The five main dishes include Oodkac Muqmad which is braised goat with onions, garlic and Mom’s rice along with Baasto, an angel hair pasta paired with ground beef, onions, potatoes, carrots and tomatoes, according to the With Love website. Abdi said she has many more recipes she would like to add to the menu in the future, including coconut candy and Sambusa: meat pastry filled with beef, vegetables and lamb. She added that in addition of With Love being an incubator for budding

restaurant owners, it also serves as an educational program for youth and anyone struggling to find employment. Partnered with CNY Works and the Center for Community Alternatives, two local programs that guide struggling individuals toward a stable career path, the restaurant provides an eightweek learning program through Onondaga Community College. In the program, CNY youth are trained as servers while CCA work as the cooking staff. Outside of the restaurant hours, students are provided with classroom time where they learn skills such as team-building and order taking, said Gabby Reagan, food services coordinator for With Love and a Syracuse University alum. “We go over all sorts of things about how to be an adult in the workforce,” she said. With the youth Reagan works with, she said it’s important that the restaurant gives them hope for the future. “We just need to show them that we’re on their side.” icbartli@syr.edu

acc launch Syracuse became a part of the conference, the ACC will highlight non-revenue sports more than it could before. From now on, the league — which just won six national championships including football, men’s basketball and men’s lacrosse in 2018-19 — will have its own home on TV, like many other conferences. According to a USA Today study on public universities from 2017-18, only one ACC school is in the top 18 for revenue. No. 1 is Texas, which has its own Longhorn Network that began in 2011. Eight SEC schools and seven Big Ten universities join Florida State in the rest of the top 18. The launches of other conferences’ networks have increased revenues for larger schools, according to public spending reports. “We’ve learned some lessons from the SEC launch,” ACC Network producer Aaron Katzman said. “But this will be its own network that will have the appeal of the ACC and nothing else. The best part of this is being able to start something from the ground floor, and it’s really embracing the unknown.” It’s impossible to gauge exactly how much revenue the television channel will generate initially, but the ACC Network is already available in more homes than the Pac-12 Network, per The Athletic. ACC athletic directors are expecting at least a $4-5 million increase in revenue in its first year of existence. After that, The Athletic reports the numbers could more than double to $10-15 million annually. “The ACC Network will give our schools a national platform to showcase our campuses,

our coaches, our student-athletes,” Swofford said in July at the ACC Kickoff. “This will result in 24/7 ACC programming, increased exposure for our athletic programs, our student-athletes, our entire universities, and their communities.” Despite the excitement around the network’s launch, major television providers still needed to agree to carry the new channel.

Distribution of the new network

Disney and ESPN announced on Aug. 14 that Charter/Spectrum will carry the network, a huge win for many local Syracuse fans who, until the announcement, wouldn’t have been able to watch hundreds of live Syracuse sporting events. An estimated 16 million Spectrum subscribers can now watch the network, including the majority of the central New York region, where Spectrum is the most common provider, according to The Washington Post. There are deals in place for some, but not all, television providers. Verizon, Spectrum, DirecTV, YouTube TV, PlayStation Vue and Hulu Live TV all show the new network, but Cox, Comcast and Dish Network users still have no way of viewing. ESPN’s vice president of college networks Rosalyn Durant said that negotiations will continue to develop. An estimated 40 million people through those three main providers, many along the east coast, unable to watch most ACC sporting events. Athletic directors across the conference, including Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack, have encouraged customers to call their providers and demand the network, but most are still waiting.

vais should end up starting again, along with redshirt junior Sam Heckel, who played as Syracuse’s sixth lineman in 2018. With a dearth of skill position players vying for the ball, it’s a matter of DeVito and the offensive line meeting lofty expectations. “Last year is the standard and that’s the lowest we want to be,” DeVito said.

appears to mimic its SEC counterpart, which launched five years prior. With well-known radio talk show host Paul Finebaum beginning a daily sports talk show each day, the SEC Network had a face, and the popularity of SEC football pushed the network into an estimated 70 million homes. Like the SEC Network’s success, ACC officials are hoping for a similar scope and reach, but producers like Katzman insist the content will be very different. The ACC Network has a daily morning show, “Packer and Durham.” From 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. each day, hosts Mark Packer and Wes Durham will host a show from Packer’s Charlotte home. The pair hosted an in-depth ACC show last year on SiriusXM radio. “They live and breathe the ACC, they have great pedigree lines within the ACC,” Katzman said about the morning show. The ACC has also turned to its athletic alumni to fill the airwaves. The network will feature former players and coaches, including EJ Manuel, Mark Richt, Mark Herzlich and Tim Hasselbeck. In a normal week, Monday’s content will focus on recapping the weekend, Thursdays will feature a special in-depth look at Olympic sports across the league and each weekend will begin with a two-hour preview show on Friday nights, Katzman said. “Some of the beauty of having a brand new network is that we don’t know what we don’t know yet,” Katzman said. “Everyday after the launch is going to be different.” amdabbun@syr.edu | @anthonydabbundo

On-campus live programming

While ESPN built a 2,800 square foot studio in Bristol to lead its in-house content, the largest burden of the new network falls to each individual school within the conference. In an earlier press release, ESPN said the network will show 450 live sporting events, 40 regular season football games and all 27 of the conference’s sponsored sports. In total, 1,350 events are expected to be broadcasted in the first year. A key to the launch was ensuring that all 15 campuses would have the capability to produce live sporting events. Syracuse has facilities like the studios in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication to easily transition and prepare for the launch. Other schools needed to build entire live event sites. According to a report in the News and Observer, North Carolina spent millions renovating its production room, while North Carolina State had to build a new studio from scratch. “We have to be ready to produce at the 15 universities,” Wildhack said. “Another great part of the network is how it will increase the exposure for Olympic Sports and women’s sports which will be very appealing for Syracuse fans and ACC fans.”

What fans can expect from the network

With its approach to original content as well as its partnership with ESPN, the ACC Network

Trishton Jackson. The Michigan State transfer spent the summer in Syracuse working out with DeVito and the other receivers. Jackson broke out in last year’s Camping World Bowl, can play in the slot and outside and has shown flashes in limited action in camp. But sophomore Taj Harris could become a top target. The same for Sean Riley, who reeled in 64 catches for 756 yards. Both caught three touchdowns in 2018. Sophomore Nykeim Johnson has near identical numbers to Harris, but one more touchdown, from 2018. Deeper down

the depth chart, Anthony Queeley, Courtney Jackson and Sharod Johnson could all also play. Moe Neal has been the starting running back since the spring, but Neal likely won’t become a feature back. Syracuse’s other options, primarily Abdul Adams and Jarveon Howard, should get plenty of looks in SU’s up-tempo offense. All three runners are different in their playstyles, too, ensuring some division of carries. — Senior Staff Writer Eric Black contributed reporting to this story aegraham@syr.edu | @A_E_Graham

3 things to watch from SU football By Andrew Graham senior staff writer

Syracuse wrapped up fall camp Friday and has turned its attention toward Week 1 opponent Liberty. Through four weeks of camp, SU’s defense maintained its claim as the team’s best unit while the offense, still determining the hierarchy of reps, comes into focus. As the Orange finally enter a game week — opening the season at Liberty on Aug. 31 — for the first time all season, here are three storylines from fall camp.

ohn Swofford stood in the center of ESPN’s new Bristol, Connecticut studio and addressed ACC Network viewers directly. The engineer of the network’s launch and league commissioner became one of the first faces of the launch on 7 p.m. Thursday night. For nearly 10 years, Swofford worked behind the scenes to keep the conference competitive within the national landscape. The Atlantic Coast Confer-

ence added multiple teams, including Syracuse in 2013, bringing the total to 15. Then came the opportunity for an ACC-specific station. While the Southeastern Conference, Pacific-12 and Big Ten all developed and launched their channels with instudio hosts and hundreds of annual live sporting events, the ACC lagged behind. Not anymore. In July of 2016, Swofford announced that the ACC Network would become a reality. Nearly six years to the day after see acc launch page 10

For the first time in the Dino Babers era at Syracuse, the defense is poised to be the team’s better unit — at least in the beginning of the season. “I saw a defense dominate the entire scrimmage,” Babers said on Aug. 7. “If you’ve got a good defense, suppose you have a chance to win, right?” Headlining the Orange’s defense are seniors Alton Robinson and Kendall Coleman, a defensive end duo that each delivered 10 sacks a season ago. Syracuse doesn’t have an immediate plug-and-play option to replace Chris Slayton. The likeliest path to replacing Slayton’s production is rotating defensive linemen in the middle. In the secondary, the Orange have an array of diverse options at cornerback and two returning anchors in Evan Foster and Andre Cisco at safety. Sophomores Trill Williams and Ifeatu Melifonwu are young and tall cornerbacks, standing at 6-foot-2 and 6-foot-3, respectively. Seniors Chris Fredrick and Scoop Bradshaw, both 5-foot-11, have a combined 52 starts and 22 passes defended. The only — and biggest — question mark for the Orange defense is at the linebacker position. Senior Andrew Armstrong brings the most experience but only has one start. Junior college transfer Lakiem Williams, sophomore Juan Wallace and two freshmen, Mikel Jones and Lee Kpogba, are all in the mix to play, too. “This is what, the third year? I can’t keep track,” Babers said of replacing linebackers. “It seems like we’re always putting new guys in there. But after this year, there should be some depth built at that position.”

Tommy DeVito, offensive line a work in progress

In the last three years, DeVito and Babers have developed a repartee that Babers called “cool,” noting the two are aware of what will upset the other. But Babers pointed out timing with receivers, on-field communication and “mental stuff” as areas of improvement. Throwing with more touch and not always rifling throws is another tweak Babers has pushed for, DeVito said. “I think offensively we got frussee new
