Pulitzer winner visits SU

By Tobias Craner

contributing writer

David Fahrenthold claimed the Donald Trump presidency “is the best thing that has ever happened to journalism.”

He added that he thinks the Washington Post is in a “renaissance,” particularly with the election of such an unconventional president.

Fahrenthold, a Pulitzer prizewinning political reporter for the Washington Post, gave a lecture in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium on Tuesday, detailing his work covering President Donald Trump’s business dealings.

Fahrenthold is this year’s winner of the Toner Award for excellence in political reporting, an award presented by the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications to a political journalist to honor alumna Robin Toner.

Fahrenthold has worked at the Washington Post for 17 years after graduating from Harvard University. He won the Pulitzer for his reporting on the Trump Foundation

ne year ago, Syracuse University established a council to bolster inclusive policies and promote diversity across campus.

Since then, out of a workgroup’s 33 total recommendations, the Council on Diversity and Inclusion has completed an accessibility audit of all SU grounds, established Indigenous Peoples’ Day and successfully applied for grants to improve retention among historically underrepresented student groups.

“Equity. Plain and simple,” said Barry Wells, a special assistant to Chancellor Kent Syverud, about why the university wants high enrollment and retention rates among underrepresented populations.

The Chancellor’s Workgroup on Diversity and Inclusion provided recommendations to SU for improvements that could bolster diversity and inclusion. The group was dissolved following the submission of see diversity page 8

yracuse University’s Council on Diversity and Inclusion, over the last year, has completed multiple initiatives that aim to improve accessibility for people with disabilities.

The initiatives, recommended by a diversity and inclusion workgroup, included an accessibility audit of the campus and new training for faculty and staff who respond to requests for accommodations.

The council is responsible for implementing initiatives recommended last year by the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Diversity and Inclusion. Council members also advise Chancellor Kent Syverud on issues of diversity and inclusion.

Diane Wiener, director of SU’s Disability Cultural Center, said the university has a long history of advocacy when it comes to disability justice.

Cortland student combats sexual assault

By Madeleine Davison staff writer

While in bed about two years ago, Tatiana Nolen was sexually assaulted by a family friend.

Since then, the sophomore at the State University of New York at Cortland has wrestled with the nightmares, guilt and self-blame that often haunt sexual assault survivors. And as a black and Puerto Rican woman, she has faced the additional burden of racist stereotypes, she said.

Nolen is now helping others overcome the challenges faced by people of color who seek support after being sexual assaulted.

Researchers at Wayne State University found in a 2010 study of sexual assault survivors that while 67 percent of white women had disclosed the incident to someone, only 52 percent of black women had done the same. When black women did disclose, they were more likely than other women to be met with negative reactions, according to the study.

“People have that assumption of, ‘OK, well, you’re an African-American woman, you’re a Puerto Rican woman, you’re asking for it because you dress this way or you show off your body this way.’ … It’s hard, on a white campus,” Nolen said.

Chardonnay Madkins, project manager for the activist organization End Rape on Campus, said the challenges faced by people of color — black women in particular — are often left out of conversations about sexual violence.

In October, Madkins well help End Rape on Campus launch “Centering the Margins,” a project that aims to empower survivors from marginalized communities and prevent sexual assault. The project seeks to educate students through a blog series and lectures on college campuses nationwide.

Madkins said many people implicitly subscribe to racist tropes that cast black women as promiscuous, sexually available and invulnerable to emotional pain, which can cause them to treat black survivors dismissively.

These factors can discourage black women from disclosing sexual assault and seeking help, she said.

“When (survivors of color) come forward and this person really can’t relate to them or really does not see their humanity because of all these implicit biases, they essentially end up failing them and end up dismissing the case,” Madkins said.

The first responses survivors receive upon disclosing an incident can set the tone for their recovery process.

Women who receive negative responses from people they disclosed to experience more frequent PTSD symptoms, said Angela Jacques Tiura, an assistant professor in Wayne State’s School of Medicine who co-authored the 2010 study of sexual assault survivors.

At Syracuse University, the 2016 Campus Climate Assessment Project found that black respondents were less than half as likely as white respondents to feel “very comfort-

Construction began last week on the first phase of a $45 million project to revitalize Syracuse Hancock International Airport.

The full renovation project will include the installation of a new facade, new terminal flooring and furniture, an aviation museum, a glass pedestrian bridge and a new roof over the airport’s main entrance.

In the first phase of the project, construction crews will remove the canopy above the passenger drop-off zone. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in his State of the State address last January called the drop-off canopy “dark and unwelcoming.”

“The main entrance doesn’t communicate to travelers that they’ve arrived to a growing and vibrant regional economy,” he said.

New York state awarded $35.8 million to the airport for the full project. Onondaga County will grant another $1 million and the Syracuse Airport Authority and Federal Aviation Administration will cover the rest.

The airport expects to complete the refurbishment in October 2018.

Christina Callahan, the airport’s executive director, said in January the airport’s roof and mechanical systems have exceeded their useful lives and needed to be replaced. Both were constructed in 1962, she said.

While the canopy is being demolished, the airport will still offer parking in the garage and open lot, according to a press release.

The airport will limit pick-ups and drop-offs to the area near the baggage claim at Terminals A and B, according to the release. kmintz@syr.edu

able” with the climate on campus.

And while 12 percent of respondents reported having had an “unwanted sexual contact” while at SU, only 12 percent of all victims of “unwanted sexual contact” disclosed the incident to any SU resource.

On Friday, SU Chancellor Kent Syverud accepted the recommendations of the Climate Assessment Planning Committee, instituting — among other things — a firstyear course covering topics such as diversity and inclusion and sexual assault prevention.

“I want to say there’s an effort to … create a space that helps everybody instead of just one group of people, but I will say that SU — well, they definitely need to do more,” said Kendiz Moore, president of SU’s Sex S.Y.M.B.A.L.S., which stands

for Sexually conscious, Youthful, Mature Black and Latino Students.

The SU Counseling Center did not respond to a request for comment filed via its website, and an email requesting an interview was met with a reminder to use the online form.

As many as 23 percent of college women experience rape or sexual assault, according to the Rape, Incest and Abuse National Network.

Some colleges and universities have made special efforts to reach out to black women and other survivors of marginalized identities in an attempt to ensure disclosures are met with understanding and support.

fahrenthold not use charities as a means to gain support, and started investigating Trump’s foundation and where its money goes.

In his speech, the reporter explained how Trump used his foundation to avoid taxes while maintaining the status of a wealthy philanthropist.

When asked which story he was most proud of, Fahrenthold recalled an article published a few days before election night that summarized all of his findings on the Trump Foundation.

He went on to describe how Trump attended an event for the opening of a new orphanage without ever giving the orphanage a dime.

Fahrenthold said Trump stole the seat of one of the event’s major donors, proceeded to sing “This Little Light of Mine” with the orphans and left the event without ever giving the organization any money or even a word. Fahrenthold said he believes Trump “wanted to do as little as possible” in order to appear as a rich, generous “playboy” figure in New York.

Fahrenthold spoke little about the Access from page 3

sexual assault the school’s staff is primarily women of color.

“It sends the message that (the school) is a safe place for students of color, and they have someone to talk to,” Jennrich said.

Nan Pasquarello, Cortland’s Title IX coordinator, said she tries to foster relationships between multicultural student organizations and the Title IX office, which handles sexual assault investigations on campus. Those relationships aim to help students of color feel comfortable asking for assistance, she said.

Nolen said Pasquarello helped her work through her feelings of guilt and self-blame.

Pasquarello also coached her when she was subpoenaed for trial.

Hollywood tapes and said that reporting failed to tip the scale of the election. He talked about how his job as a journalist is to simply inform the public. It is the public’s job to take that reporting and make informed decisions, he said.

On election night, Fahrenthold said he and another Washington Post reporter were asked to write either the victory story for Trump or Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Fahrenthold wrote the Trump victory story, and Fahrenthold said doubt lingered in the back of his mind as he wrote it.

Fahrenthold repeated how he believed Trump does not really hate the media. He referenced Trump’s interviews with numerous media outlets the president has condemned, such as the New York Times.

The White House’s relationship with the media is eccentric, Fahrenthold said during his lecture. He recalled a time Trump had a phone call with a congressman, and without the congressman’s consent, invited a Washington Post reporter into the Oval Office to sit in on the conversation.

After his lecture, students lined up to thank Fahrenthold for speaking to them and for his reporting. tlcraner@syr.edu

“Nan has been one of the best things that’s ever happened for me … She never left my side when I needed her,” Nolen said.

Nolen decided to join S.A.F.E.R., Students Active for Ending Rape, in part due to Pasquarello’s influence. In April, she told her story to a large audience for the first time at a forum about sexual assault in marginalized communities.

She said she wants to prove that sexual assault survivors can go on to lead fulfilling lives.

“I’m a college student getting my education.

I’m setting a career for myself,” Nolen said. “I still want to have a family, I want to be able to love someone, I want to be somebody’s wife one day. … (and) I want to help people do that the way Nan helped me.” mdavison@syr.edu

Even in NY, pay equality fight continues

N

ew York state finally had its mind on the money when it was ranked as the No. 1 state with the smallest gender pay gap on Friday by the American Association of University Women.

The data found that New York women earn 89 percent of what their counterparts who are men do — a far cry from Louisiana’s 70-percent discrepancy. While progress is worth celebrating, it’s important to remember these figures fail to address an even more potent pay difference: those between minority women and their white co-workers who are men.

National Women’s Law Center reports from 2015 show that black women still earn 66 percent, Latinas 55.5 percent, Asians 82.3 percent and Native American women 59.3 percent of what their counterparts who are men make. These problems result from not only the inherent sexism and misogyny that’s still a part of our culture, but also from

KELSEY THOMPSON FEMINIST FATALE

the deep-rooted racism and bigotry that has resulted in women of color working just as hard for only about half as much.

There will always be angry man babies and Tomi Lahrens trying to label the wage gap as a “feminist fantasy.” But that shouldn’t stop state and federal governments from recognizing reality and taking a stronger stance to enact further change.

A study conducted by The New York Women’s Foundation in January 2017 found that at the rate it’s going, the wage gap for all New York women, regardless of race and ethnicity, won’t fully close until 2049. Running on New York time means we shouldn’t have the patience to wait that long.

Luckily, New York policymak-

ers aren’t just sitting around. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has issued executive orders preventing state companies from accessing women’s previous salary histories for discrimination, to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s call for a federal minimum wage hike to combat pay inequities, New York state is putting its money — quite literally — where its mouth is.

The spirit of women in this country has always been one marked by resilience. From when we earned the right to vote in 1920 — 1964 for black women after the removal of poll taxes — to the promise of equal pay by President John F. Kennedy in 1963, we have bided our time.

When women succeed, we succeed as a country, too. So lace up your boot straps, ladies, because our time has come.

Invasive beetle’s move northward is tangible sign of climate change

I

BAILEY BENZINGER

t’s easy to forget global warming exists when Syracuse’s freezing winters dominate most of the school year. But even as fall arrives and temperatures drop, the Northeast’s warming winters are still to blame as New York’s forests fall victim to the Southern Pine Beetle.

The beetles, which are native to the southern United States and Central America, typically can’t survive the Northeast’s cold winters. But our climate is changing, and higher winter temperatures have allowed the beetle to expand its reach, according to a study released in late August.

The spread of the southern pine beetle may seem minor, but it’s an important example of how climate change directly affects all of us, and things will only get worse from here.

The “global north,” where the U.S. is situated, typically does not feel the effects of climate change as intensely as the global south. So, many in the United States have the luxury of not having to worry about climate change because it hasn’t directly affected them. But now, the Northeast is the fastest-warming region in the United States, according to a study from the University of Massachusetts Amherst Northeast Climate Science Center.

Long Island is already suffering from beetle infestations, which, as the insect’s name suggests, starve evergreen trees. David Althoff, an associate professor of biology at Syracuse University, said the pine

beetle is particularly bad because it can kill off acres upon acres of trees when it reaches a new area.

There are both short-term human impacts, as well as longterm environmental impacts, said Jason Fridley, an associate professor of biology at Syracuse Universtiy.

The northeast is the exclusive home of White Pine trees used as timber — trees that are susceptible to this invasive beetle. In addition to functioning as a source of income for small family timber businesses and large companies, forests are a habitat for many of the animals that live in the Northeast.

Displacing these organisms degrades their population, Fridley said. That could result in fewer animals to eat pests, particularly disease-carriers like mosquitoes.

And when it comes to providing the oxygen we breathe, trees go further than other plants. Trees act as a carbon sink and store carbon dioxide over relatively long periods of time, and thus slowing the immediate effects of global warming, Fridley said.

Southern states have been able to mitigate the effects of the beetle by using pesticides and marking and

cutting down infected trees, Althoff said. But finding a permanent solution is more complicated.

These beetles communicate through pheromones, so each one can summon thousands of other beetles if a viable tree is found.

Dense forests don’t stand a chance.

Likewise, the continuous use of pesticides can harm other organisms, so it’s not a viable option either.

Fridley explained that while nature itself will not cease to exist

with the spread of pest outbreaks and other climate change-induced phenomenon, the nature that we have grown up with and have a fondness for will not be around much longer.

Unfortunately, this may be exactly what we need to enact change.

“The more and more the landscape changes, at the speed at which it’s currently changing, the more I would hope there would be public support to free up resources to actually do something about it and

Engineering professor discusses Equifax security breach

By Olivia Cole

contributing writer

Equifax, a consumer credit reporting agency, recently had a massive data breach that released the personal information of up to 143 million Americans.

The data included names, Social Security numbers, addresses, birth dates and driver’s license numbers. Equifax gets its data from credit card companies, banks, retailers and lenders who report on the credit activity of individuals to credit agencies, per CNN. Equifax handles the personal information of more than 820 million consumers, 91 million businesses and manages a database with employee information from more than 7,100 employers, according to The New York Times.

The Daily Orange spoke with Shiu-Kai Chin, a electrical engineering and computer science professor at Syracuse University, to discuss the Equifax security breach.

The Daily Orange: Why do you think Equifax was targeted?

Shiu-Kai Chin: Well, they’re a juicy target … basically it’s a treasure trove of personal information. Credit cards, social security numbers — it’s similar to a master database of everyone who has credit in the United States.

The D.O.: How do cybercriminals steal from page 1

accessibility education program and the first disability rights clinic of its kind, Wiener said.

She said the university also established the first disability cultural center run by a full-time administrative director.

“In some respects, it’s a continuation of a long-standing, long-rolling project around disability justice,” Wiener said.

information?

S.C.: There are a variety of ways. It sounds crazy, but usually what they do is they ask for it. In this specific case, I don’t know what they did. I think as people have gotten more sophisticated, we are always using electronic representation of ourselves.

That could be our user ID and password, fingerprints, retinal scans, voice scan … or it could be a physical key or a swipe card, like the SUID. There are three identification factors: something you have, like your SUID card; something you are, like your fingerprint; and something you know, like your PIN. Depending on how insecure each factor is, it can be correspondingly easy or difficult to steal your identity.

The other more insidious part of it: You have to be authorized to get what you need.

The phishing attacks, where you get someone to answer an email, what they’re trying to do is steal your credentials in order to get authorization. There’s also the insider attack, someone inside the organization stealing the information or granting access.

The D.O.: Can the victims retrieve their stolen information?

S.C.: Realistically, no. With the credit card companies, recall the Home Depot breach. For

many years, the Europeans had credit cards with chips. That technology is well over 20 years old.

It wasn’t until the Home Depot breach when the credit card companies switched to cards with chips. You never get the information back, so it’s now viewed as you have to get new credentials.

The D.O.: This was Equifax’s third major cybersecurity threat since 2015. Is it possible to adjust technology to prevent such attacks? Or are they powerless to advanced cyber criminals?

S.C.: Yes, absolutely. Sure, there’s a lot you can do. Part of my own research is the notion of building authentication and authorization — in other words, building security — from the very start.

Thirty years ago, we did not have strenuous authentication and authorization built into our designs. The notion that someone could remotely access a piece of equipment was inconceivable. But now, that’s an everyday fact.

Businesses will often say it’s too hard and too complicated (to prevent cyberattacks), but if you literally think of information this way: If the medical records of the entire country were altered so just our blood types were changed, everything would grind to a halt. Nobody would trust the information.

If you start treating information like money, it would need to be audited, then all of a sudden

people are going to be asking very different questions about the movement of information. The other idea is the type of privilege to access and change information, you need to give people the minimum privilege to do their job. Safety, integrity and security don’t happen by themselves.

The D.O.: Equifax is currently offering free identity theft protection and waiving fees on credit freezes for those impacted. Do you think this will suffice? How would you handle this breach?

S.C.: Well, I am one of the people that might be affected. I have been a long-term customer of theirs. Safety, integrity and security are emergent properties. Basically, no single component can guarantee safety, integrity and security. It has to be a combined effort of many parts of the system.

Equifax did the absolute minimum … basically saying, “We will help you monitor your information,” because frankly, they can’t account for information once it leaves their domain.

I would have built security systems from the start to match the level of protection and control that we expect from financial transactions. Information is the life and blood of a modern society, just like money is the lifeblood of capitalism. We have to treat both with care and seriousness.

An accessibility audit of the SU campus occurred earlier this year, said Barry Wells, assistant to the chancellor. That audit was completed in the summer of 2016, intending to identify areas on campus with physical barriers to accessibility, according to a workgroup report.

The audit surveyed the entire campus, which totals 9 million square feet. Results of the audit are being reviewed, said Sarah Scalese, vice president of university communications.

In the last year, SU also created a central

university fund to pay for accommodations deemed reasonable and necessary under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Americans with Disabilities Act is a law that bars discrimination against people with disabilities in both public and private spaces.

The Office of Disability Services is responsible for coordinating accommodations for students with disabilities, whether those disabilities are physical or cognitive.

More single-user, all-gender bathrooms

were installed on campus, Wells added. These “pod” style bathrooms are designed to be compliant with the ADA. SU aims to replace all restroom stalls on campus with singleuser restrooms.

In addition, the university provided training to faculty and staff who respond to requests for adjustments, aids and accommodations made by students with disabilities, according to the Council on Diversity and Inclusion’s website.

diversity recommendations to Syverud.

The Council on Diversity and Inclusion, though, was formed last year as part of a recommendation from that workgroup.

Though the council now focuses on fulfilling the recommendations, members also report to the chancellor and give him advice on issues regarding diversity and inclusion, Wells said.

When President Donald Trump announced his administration planned to phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, SU looked to address the issue, Wells said. In turn, he said, representatives from the council participated in the university-wide committee on DACA. “It’s somewhat narrow in terms of its scope, but at the same time, looking at what takes place on our campus and what’s taking place nationally or globally sometimes, we feel a need to comment on issues and concerns,” Wells said.

Diasia Robinson, a Student Association representative on the council and co-chair of the SA Diversity Affairs Committee, said she pushed the university to respond to DACA threats and the “sanctuary campus” issue.

The “sanctuary campus” term generally refers to colleges that create policies to protect students who are undocumented immigrants.

Syverud was hesitant to declare SU a “sanctuary campus” last year, saying the university supports its undocumented students, but it must comply with federal law.

Wells added SU needs to understand students’ backgrounds — both culturally and academically — and be attentive to their needs.

Not every student has the same background or advantages, he said.

The university has made significant progress in addressing disparity in retention rates between white students and students of color, Wells said.

Robinson said she thinks the enrollment of minority students should increase. She added

that the university should prioritize diversity and promote organizations and committees like the ones she is a part of.

“I think creating a space for dialogue around serving the needs of these students is probably the best way to insure we’re meeting the needs of every student on campus,” Robinson said.

Transportation to the La Casita Cultural Center was added to the Connective Corridor Centro bus route, for example, Wells said.

La Casita has worked with SU cultural programs in the past and it was of interest to Latinx students, faculty and staff, Wells said.

The council is permanent as of now, Wells said, but members cannot predict what will happen when a new chancellor comes to SU, he added.

“The work on diversity and inclusion is a long-term commitment, and it’s more of a journey as opposed to a short-term process,” he said.

Syverud is also looking to establish the position of chief diversity officer, Wells said.

Wells said the chancellor will likely consult the council when the time comes to appoint a chief diversity officer. The council will eventually report to a chief diversity officer, who will report to the chancellor.

Recommendations were not suggested by any one person, said Suzette Meléndez, director of the children’s rights and family law clinic at the SU College of Law. The workgroup accepted feedback from SU community members and worked to represent the community, she said.

Meléndez was also a member of the diversity and inclusion workgroup.

“We spoke with many voices and I don’t know if it would be fair to say any recommendation has any one person’s name on it,” she said.

The list of recommendations is not exhaustive, Meléndez said, but it is a beginning step for identifying both short- and long-term goals that the council can build upon.

Work still needs to be done, and it starts by standing behind the principles and values established by the workgroup, Meléndez said.

A number of initiatives and goals could be

added to the list of recommendations, but she said the university needs to start with what it already has.

The council does not dissolve once the list of recommendations is complete, Wells said.

Council members work in conjunction with other offices and departments on campus, including Campus Facilities Administration and Services and the Division of Enrollment and the Student Experience.

This partnership is not to create redundancy, said Diane Wiener, director of the Disability Cultural Center at SU. Instead, it creates true collaboration with other entities across campus. Advancing the visions of the council means it must work with people from different offices, she said.

“Now we have further conversations happening that also relate to what can we do physically, philosophically, culturally, politically — every adverbial you can think of and beyond — to make sure that people understand that this is actually an ongoing and horizontal commitment across all campus spaces,” Wiener said of the council’s collaboration with other SU offices.

Opportunity Syracuse, an initiative to make SU more accessible to people across the socioeconomic spectrum, is also in the process of being implemented.

SU’s tuition for the 2018-19 year will cost incoming students $50,230 after a $3,300 premium and a 3.9 percent increase is added for the Invest Syracuse initiative. Opportunity Syracuse is part of that initiative.

The university, at present, has raised $6.25 million out of the proposed $40 million Opportunity Syracuse goal, said Sarah Scalese, vice president of university communications at SU. “It isn’t until there is equity that we feel we’ve actually have been successful as an educational institution,” Wells said.

Here’s a full breakdown on what the council has completed so far: • A university-wide Council on Diversity and Inclusion was established • A central university fund was created to pay for accommodations deemed reasonable

and necessary under the Americans with Disabilities Act • An accessibility audit of all 9 million square feet of the university was completed • Improvements were made to enhance accessibility • New uniform signage for all gender-accessible/single-occupancy bathrooms was installed • Training was held for faculty and staff who receive and respond to requests for academic adjustments and aids made by students with disabilities • SU acknowledged that it sits on Onondaga land at major events and flies the Haudenosaunee flag beside the American flag • An Indigenous Peoples’ Day was established • An Advancing Diversity and Inclusion website was established • The La Casita Cultural Center was added to the Connective Corridor bus route • Inclusive food options, such as Halal, kosher, vegetarian and gluten-free were made available across campus • The Division for Campus Safety and Emergency Services held Implicit Bias training for all officers and supervisors in the Department of Public Safety and 300 central New York law enforcement officers • Opportunity Syracuse was established to ensure students across the socioeconomic spectrum could access the university • SU was awarded a National Science Foundation grant to boost retention rates for historically underrepresented students in STEM fields • A n Internationalization Council was established by Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly • A $700,000 grant from the Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need group was awarded to the chemistry department so it could boost diversity in the graduate student body • SU Libraries hired an inclusion and accessibility librarian, Kate Deibel, who will start work in October krose100@syr.edu

How the Erie Canal built the Salt City into an economic and industrial hub

W

By Rhea Bhambhani asst. copy editor

ithout the Erie Canal Syracuse University may not exist today.

The construction of the canal 200 years ago redefined Syracuse and New York state as a whole and affected nearly every region in the United States. To commemorate the bicentennial of the canal, Samuel Clemence, a former professor of civil engineering at SU and an Erie Canal expert, will deliver the lecture, “The Engineering History of the Erie Canal,” on Sunday.

Clemence, who gives the lecture “to preserve the memory” of the canal, first learned about the canal when see canal page 10

Syracuse Stage to kick off season with ‘Three Musketeers’

By Chloe Mathieu

contributing writer

Swashbuckling swordsmen, kings, queens and lots of adventure. “The Three Musketeers” promises that and more as it gets set to kick off Syracuse Stage’s 2017-18 season on Wednesday.

The story of “The Three Musketeers” has been a part of pop culture since the book’s original publication in the 1800s, and has spawned multiple television shows, films and stage productions. Set in 17th century France, the story follows main character d’Artagnan as he tries to join the elite Musketeer guard and befriends three formidable corps members along the way.

“I think this show is going to be great fun for us to open our season,”

said Jill Anderson, managing director for Syracuse Stage, of the show.

“It’s a big rolling, sprawling adventure story.”

The universality of “The Three Musketeers” provided both challenges and exciting opportunities for Syracuse Stage. Artistic director Bob Hupp said he had to take both into account when considering the show. On one hand, Hupp was attracted to the fact that “the play is a story that has been told for 400 years, and it still remains relevant and timely and fun.”

On the other hand, Hupp said there was a tricky line to walk between honoring the story and keeping things fresh for Syracuse Stage’s production.

Excited to bring his interpretation to life, Hupp will also make his

directorial debut at the Syracuse Stage. While he has directed shows elsewhere, this is his first production in Syracuse.

“Bringing in outside guest artists with our top-notch resident team has worked very well,” he said in regard to his experience and connections in Syracuse and beyond.

The show, which runs through Oct. 8, will also feature an original score written specifically for Syracuse Stage’s production — a feature that Hupp said he thinks will differentiate the show from past productions.

Hupp isn’t the only newcomer to the Syracuse Stage this season.

Courtney Green, a senior drama major, will play Queen Anne in “The Three Musketeers” in her first production at the Stage. Green said she is elated to have the opportunity to

work with the 10 professional equity actors and seven other SU Drama performers involved with the show.

“Working with him was a little intimidating at first,” Green said of Hupp. “Now I feel like we have a nice rapport with him, and I appreciate that a lot. He treats us all like professionals. He doesn’t baby us; he respects us.”

Those involved with the show are excited to see how the community reacts to “The Three Musketeers.”

As a show with “broad appeal,” Anderson said she hopes the show will attract anyone from school groups to families with children.

Anderson also discussed the Stage’s pride in taking strides toward being as inclusive as possible. Hearing-impaired guests can look forward to newly redone lis-

tening devices and open-captioned performances of the show.

The theater’s most significant new initiative this year is a “paywhat-you-will” plan. Under the initiative, 76 tickets to “The Three Musketeers” and other plays will be put aside for guests who love theater but may be unable to afford fullprice tickets.

Anderson said she hopes the new features will remove obstacles that may have otherwise kept community members from seeing the production. Green added that the potential new audience members will not be disappointed.

“This version is a lot more epic and adventurous,” she said. “I think audiences are really going to enjoy it.” cfmathie@syr.edu

he was a fifth-grader in Atlanta. When he moved to Syracuse he took a visit to the canal.

Fascinated by its history, he took on the task of documenting its journey and got to work on what is now a regularly scheduled lecture at SU. “(The Erie Canal is) a great part of our history that’s been overlooked,” Clemence said.

Built between 1817 and 1825, the canal paved the way for commercial prosperity and job opportunities in cities across the country, and Syracuse in particular. In the early 19th century, the canal was the equivalent of Silicon Valley. But the importance of the canal is often forgotten and overlooked.

Before the canal, Syracuse was a lowlying backwater town that was a major producer of salt. But the salt was too expensive to transport, so economic growth was largely limited.

During the Civil War, this salt economy saw a surge. Food transported from the North to the South was preserved in salt — which came from Syracuse — and became accessible and easy to transport because of the Erie Canal.

The canal gave rise to the concept of “boom towns,” said Cynthia Van Ness, director of library and archives at the Buffalo History Museum, in the documentary “Erie: The Canal That Made America.”

“People were pouring in and business was booming, and there were job opportunities so they’d end up in Syracuse or Rochester or Buffalo working and knitting themselves into the community,” Van Ness said. “So, that is part of the canal’s draw as well is that it creates boom towns.”

Before its construction, New Orleans was the leading port in the country since it was at the mouth of the Mississippi River, Clemence said. The canal created a backbone for the fortunes of the country, making New York City

the commercial hub it still is today, said David Muir in the documentary. Muir is the anchor of “ABC World News.”

Today, vestiges of the canal can be seen in Syracuse’s Clinton Square and Erie Boulevard, which was at one point part of the canal.

“If you’re traveling on Erie Boulevard, then you’re traveling on the canal,” Clemence said.

At Cedar Bay Park, visitors can walk or cycle along the path or even cross-country ski along what was once the canal.

Geddes Street is another such vestige, though not part of the canal. Named after James Geddes, a self-trained engineer and Syracuse resident, he was one of the five engineers chosen for the supervision of construction of the canal. Formerly a salt manufacturer in Syracuse, Geddes was a major proponent of the canal who also laid down its route.

For those new to Syracuse, the canal likely rings a bell because of the Erie Canal Museum located on Erie Boulevard, inside the 1850 Weighlock Building.

“When they first built the canal they charged a fare,” Clemence said. “ … For every boat that went through, you had to pay for the canal, and so the boats would detour inside this building where they would weigh it on an underwater scale.”

There were 10 to 12 of these Weighlock buildings, he added, but only the one in Syracuse was preserved.

Like Clemence, Linsey Armstrong, a firstyear public diplomacy graduate student at SU, visited the museum when she moved to Syracuse from Nebraska.

“I think while you’re here at Syracuse it’s important to learn about the town and the city that you’re living in and how it came to be,” Armstrong said. “And the Erie Canal was, I’d say, one of the No.1 motivators for the city becoming what it is.” rmbhambh@syr.edu

PARKING PLOT Georgia students install temporary garden to transform area into green space

By Rori Sachs

asst. copy editor

S

University of Georgia students used synthetic grass to turf eight parking lots, transforming them into public mini-parks. photos courtesy of benjamin gladstone

tudents at the University of Georgia turned gravel into green through an initiative to transform parking spaces into a temporary park.

The Georgia Students of Landscape Architecture organization transformed eight metered parking spots into interactive green public park in celebration of the annual “PARK(ing) Day” on Friday.

The event was held at College Avenue, a popular area in downtown Athens taken up by parking lots. The reinvented space was covered by a lawn of synthetic turf and used as a concert venue, lounge area and reading nook.

The “PARK(ing) Day” project came about when the art and design studio Rebar sought to reclaim metered parking spaces in 2005.

Rebar initially converted a single-metered parking space into a temporary public park in an area of San Francisco that lacked open public space. The event runs annually on the third Friday in September and is a non-commercial initiative.

The students of GSLA were eager to participate and carry on its mission to promote community interaction. They created the installment to propose different ways to use parking spaces.

“A lot of different faces of Athens came together in this one communal area, and I think that’s something that only really a public park could do. It showed how much people appreciated green spaces,” said Benjamin Gladstone, vice president of GSLA and a senior landscape architecture major.

The park was designed to complement businesses in the area, he said. The installation was set up to symbolize the stages of transforming the plot from a parking space to a public park.

Toward the entrance, the change was minimal. Only tires transformed into planters served as decoration.But the makeover became more extensive deeper into the park, with synthetic turf carpeting the asphalt, outdoor furniture and a stage for live music performances.

Bookshelves, corn hole and jumbo Jenga activities were also popular activities among younger participants.

Older audiences sat and read while children played with chalk and students came to listen to music on their way to class, said Stuart Harriott, a general member of GSLA and a senior landscape architecture major.

“Businessmen talked to homeless people about how they were both using the park in the same way,” Harriott said.

Both the members of GSLA and the Athens community were taken aback by how the installment transformed the space, compared to the usual concrete landscape of Athens, Gladstone said. Seeing the park struck them.

Many turned to social media to share their experiences and post pictures.

Mia Bomar, event coordinator for GSLA and a fifth-year landscape architecture major, said the location was crucial to the interaction between students and local community.

The exhibit was displayed next to an intersection with high traffic.

An estimated 10,000 people would cross every couple hours. The day also coincided with a football game, which drew many out-of-towners into the park.

GSLA spent less than $150 on the display. The rest was donated through sponsors and sourcing. The organization reused furniture leftover from a defunct program at the university for the event.

The group acquired a free permit after working closely with the Downtown Development Authority to secure the coveted parking lot spots from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The main icon of UGA is the arches, Gladstone said. It’s a gateway into downtown, directly adjacent to College Avenue and a predominant landmark of Athens. He said the park was at the heart of it all.

Bomar also said the music was a huge pull to the park. The stage was set up with a guitar and amplifier for musicians to perform on the spot.

“Anyone who wanted to perform came,” said Carolyn Bresnahan, a general member of GSLA and a senior landscape architecture major.

The variety of performers covered all musical bases. Performers ranged from all-girl bands with originals songs to the “Classic City Jazz” group to a local acapella group, Bresnahan said.

Many participants left notes commending the work of the organization.

“People really wanted Athens to get on board with it and make it more of a green space and patio area,” Harriott said.

GSLA confirmed that the park will be built again next year, and said it has plans to grow the park. Many hope that someday soon the park will find a permanent home at the heart of Athens. rhsachs@syr.edu

season in just his second appearance in net, ended the game with a clean sheet.

Early in the game, it looked like Syracuse would take an early lead. A failed clearance and a goalie deflection gave junior Jonathan Hagman, SU’s leading goal scorer, a chance to put the Orange out in front. The midfielder ripped a shot from two yards away with his right foot and watched as the ball ricocheted off the post. Hagman stood still, his mouth open and hands at his sides.

“You have to shake it off,” Hagman said.

“You have to move on.”

The Orange constantly pressured a Big Red line that consisted of two freshman starters. Mo Adams triggered give-and-go passes in the midfield, which created space down the sidelines for freshman Tajon Buchanan. But, Cornell often kicked the ball away, conceding a corner kick instead of a cross in transition. Syracuse finished with 11 corner kicks, the second-highest total this season.

Freshman Lukas Rubio subbed in and immediately triggered a breakaway that

ended in a missed shot by Simon Triantafillou. Coming out of halftime, Triantafillou almost broke the seal with his own one-onone against Meyer. The shot went right into the chest of the goalkeeper who dove right.

In the 63rd minute, Hagman connected with a back-heel pass which left Johannes Pieles a clear opportunity at the top of the box.

The sophomore forward pushed the shot wide left. Twenty-five minutes later, Hugo Delhommelle had a chance to score the game winner for SU off a free kick from the same spot as Pieles’ miss. The junior transfer’s set piece curved too much and spun left. After the shot, Delhommelle put one hand on his hip and threw the other in the air in frustration.

After the game, Ricks made his way over to the wall next to the SU bench. He held his shirt to his mouth and stared at the ground.

Teammates walked over and offered him words of advice but his eyes never wavered. A few feet away, his teammates and head coach tried to explain the upset loss.

“We had a couple of games we won in overtime,” Hagman said. “This time it was our turn to lose one. We weren’t at our best tonight.” nialvare@syr.edu

defense defenders stayed high on the opposite part of the box. When Big Red midfielder Tyler Bagley corralled the ball at the top of the box, he rushed it over to fellow midfielder Ryan Hill. By the time SU recovered, the rest of Hill’s teammates were already dog-piling on top of him in celebration.

“I don’t get it,” junior Jonathan Hagman said, “how he became that open.”

The lone goal of the match sank No. 11 Syracuse (4-2-2), 1-0, against Cornell (2-3-1) at SU Soccer Stadium on Tuesday night. Even though it mustered only one shot in overtime, the Big Red outlasted the Orange for the first time since 2001. Prior to the game, Syracuse had let up two goals in each of its last three games, including a loss last Friday against Louisville. When the defense finally broke through for a full 90 minutes against Cornell, it wasn’t enough.

“The defense as a whole played well today,” Hilpert said.

Just past the four-minute mark, Cornell fired its second shot of the game.

Hilpert saved the first, falling late and swallowing the ball into his chest. The second f lew directly to his hands off an outside shot from Cornell forward Kepler Despinos. The saves were two of Hilpert’s four on the night.

Aside from the goal, Cornell’s next best opportunity to score came in the

55th minute. Caleb McAuslan dipped and dunked through the SU defense working across the box towards the right of Hilpert. The Cornell midfielder launched a shot which Hilpert denied with two hands.

The ball advanced down the field where Cornell goalkeeper Mitchell Meyer stuffed Tajon Buchanan on one of Syracuse’s five shots in the frame.

“For the attackers it’s always our job to win the game and for us to score the goals to win the game,” forward Adnan Bakalovic said. “But tonight we just couldn’t do it.”

Last season Syracuse shutout its opponent 11 different times. When it played Cornell last season on Sept. 20, it had already shutout five teams in just seven matches. But as the shutout lengthened on Tuesday night, it never became clear that’d be enough for Syracuse to win.

In the 79th minute, Harry Fuller cranked a shot to Hilpert’s right. It sailed wide and hit the outside of the cage. Fuller swallowed his face in his hands. It was one of three Big Red shot’s in the second half. The Syracuse crowd let loose a sigh of relief.

It would take another 20 minutes for Cornell to get another legitimate scoring chance.

That one went in the back of the net.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re at three goals or one goal, you just didn’t get a shutout,” Hilpert said. jlschafe@syr.edu | @Schafer_44

to look at, a lot more keys to read. But just with repetition, I got better with time.”

Syracuse had increased competition among its cornerbacks in the offseason. Two relatively inexperienced players — sophomore Scoop Bradshaw and redshirt sophomore Chris Fredrick — won the starting jobs on the outside. Juwan Dowels, who started last season at cornerback before going down with an injury, has rotated with them.

After Fan Fest in mid-August, Babers said SU had a “nucleus” of four players who could see the field at that position. He said the Orange might run six-deep there. That was in part because of the three outside cornerbacks, as well as graduate transfers Butler and Jordan Martin. Martin has since moved to safety.

Redshirt junior safety Rodney Williams said there was a different atmosphere in the defensive-back room this offseason. He said he felt the unit was better and deeper, and part of it was because of the influx of new veteran talent, including Butler.

“We have added some older guys with experience,” Williams said. “They’re not freshmen coming in. They understand how they need to learn the playbook. They played football so they played at a high level against really tough players … it feels like we have a group of veterans.”

Even at a new position, Butler seems to play like a veteran. tdlanger@syr.edu @tomer_langer

Junior Annie Bozzo excels at starting setter position

By David Schneidman staff writer

When Jalissa Trotter, Syracuse’s starting setter, suffered an injury against Kansas State on Sept. 1, the team found itself in a rut. SU had endured two straight-set losses to Colgate and Wisconsin, and a bout at Arkansas loomed.

Now, SU also needed to scrape together without its assists leader.

Trotter’s role was a difficult one to fill, associate head coach Erin Little said, but she thought backup Annie Bozzo was capable.

Bozzo has proven Little right.

271

Annie Bozzo has already set a career-high for assists, up 97 from last season

Since taking over as starting setter, Bozzo has on four separate occasions bested Trotter’s season-high of 35 assists, including a personal best (48) against Dartmouth on Sept. 8. The junior has helped Syracuse (8-5) to its best stretch of games this season. The Orange has won five of its last seven. She wants to continue playing regularly as the Orange begins Atlantic Coast Conference play Wednesday against Boston College at the Women’s Building at 5:30 p.m.

When Trotter returns from injury, Bozzo isn’t worried. She looks forward to competing with Trotter, because Little said Trotter’s return will make for a renewed battle for the starting spot.

“You never want someone to accept the role of backup,” Little said.

Syracuse ranks 238th in the country with only 10.94 assists per set, which means Bozzo’s role is especially important to lift a team craving greater assist production.

As a freshman, Bozzo played in 29 matches but did not start. She recorded 68 assists, the fourth highest on the team. In her sophomore year, Bozzo recorded 174 assists, which ranked second on the team behind Trotter (691). So far in her junior year, Bozzo has a team-high 271.

“Annie is a very positive vocal presence on the floor,” Little said. “Stepping into that role is natural for her.”

Bozzo played two sets in the season opener against Siena, when she tallied 17 assists, a team high. Over the next few games, Trotter solidified her starting spot while Bozzo watched from the sidelines.

Over Syracuse’s next four games, Trotter recorded 89 assists, 59 more than Dana Valelly, SU’s next highest contributor.

Bozzo was used as a substitute in only two of those matches, registering one assist.

Not until the third set of Syracuse’s match against Kansas State was Bozzo given her chance. When Trotter went down, Bozzo entered the match and posted 13 assists en route to a four-set victory. After a difficult straight-set loss to Arkansas, Bozzo and Syracuse took off.

Three strong performances by Bozzo — 48, 38 and 40 assists, respectively — led the Orange to a 3-0 record in the Dartmouth tournament. A week later, the Orange won two of three in the Hofstra tournament, with Bozzo dishing out 105 assists over the threegame span.

“My teammates have done a great job taking role with a new setter,” Bozzo said. ddschnei@syr.edu

BIG RED FLAG Syracuse suffers 1-0 overtime loss

see defense page 14

ith under two minutes left in the first overtime, Cornell’s Ryan Hill received a through ball from Tyler Bagley and found himself with the Big Red’s first one-on-one opportunity of the game with Syracuse goalkeeper Hendrik Hilpert. As Hill neared the edge of the penalty box, he ripped a shot through the legs of Hilpert, the final moment in a night filled with missed offensive opportunities.

“You’re just stunned,” junior forward Adnan Bakalovic said. “We didn’t play as well as we would’ve hoped. We thought we did enough to win the game.”

After the game-winning goal, the Cornell benched mobbed Hill. Near SU’s net, sophomore John-Austin Ricks hunched over on the ground,

taking in a loss at home to a team Syracuse hadn’t lost to in more than 15 years. The late score gave No. 11 SU (4-2-2, 0-1-1 Atlantic Coast) its second home loss in as many games, a 1-0 upset at the hands of Cornell (2-41). The defeat put the Orange on the wrong side of history, again, losing back-t0-back home games for the first time since October 2011.

“We came off an emotional loss on Friday,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “We were looking for a reaction today and I don’t think we got one.”

Before Hill’s goal, Syracuse’s offense, which entered the game fourth in the ACC in goals, failed to score on Cornell goalkeeper Mitchell Meyer despite ample corner kicks and multiple clean looks. The Orange barraged the Big Red with four corner kicks in the first 11 minutes but Meyer, a senior who made his first start of the see cornell page 14

Devin M. Butler thrives at nickel corner for SU

By Tomer Langer

senior staff writer

Devin M. Butler stood with bent knees, ready to pounce. Syracuse’s graduate transfer cornerback was in the nickel, lined up against Middle Tennessee State’s wide receiver Richie James, who has caught more than 100 balls in each of his first two seasons.

MTSU quarterback Brent Stockstill handled the snap and dropped back. To his left, James slid backward and turned toward him, anticipating a screen pass. Butler burst toward James as Stockstill

With just more than a minute remaining in the first period of overtime, Cornell caught Syracuse out of position. With orange jerseys swarming to the left of goalkeeper Hendrik Hilpert, no SU

released the ball, disrupting the third-down play and getting the Orange the ball back via a punt.

At least once more, Butler thwarted a similar screen pass intended for James. Disappointment filled Syracuse’s (2-1) Week 2 loss to Middle Tennessee State, but Butler’s emergence as a nickel corner — a position he had not played before — was a bright spot.

To maintain its top-10 third-down defense, SU needs Butler to sustain this level of play. “(The nickel) has to have a lot of coverage skills,” head coach Dino Babers said. “But he’s still got to be

able to come up and play the run just in case they decide to run the ball. I think Butler’s got both of those skills and I think he’s doing a nice job for us.”

Butler transferred from Notre Dame to play his graduate season with the Orange. He said he primarily played on the outside at UND, but that SU coaches thought he could fit as the nickel.

The nickel presents a set of challenges. Sometimes, teams shift their best receiver from the outside into the slot on third down. Mostly, the nickel corner guards the opponent’s slot receiver.

For Butler, that meant shifting

from covering receivers who were more in the mold of Steve Ishmael (6-foot-2, 209 pounds) to covering receivers who have frames similar to Ervin Philips (5-foot-11, 181 pounds).

The slot receivers are often faster than outside counterparts and have more room to work with by virtue of working in the middle of the field, Butler said. He attributes the success he’s had in his transition to using his hands and playing physically to reduce the amount of space receivers have.

“It was a little tough,” Butler said. “There are a lot more things see butler page 14
