Everything you need to about the Theta Tau controversy

In April, Syracuse University suspended and later expelled the Theta Tau engineering fraternity for participating in the creation of videos Chancellor Kent Syverud called “extremely racist, homophobic, sexist, and hostile to people with disabilities.” The videos sparked campus-wide protests. dan lyon staff photographer

By Daniel Strauss asst. copy editor

About three weeks before the end of the spring 2018 semester, the Syracuse University community was rocked by the release of videos showing people in the Theta Tau engineering fraternity house using racial and ethnic slurs and miming the sexual assault of a person with disabilities.

The videos, which led to the fraternity’s permanent expulsion from SU, circulated nationally and sparked days of campus-wide protests and open forums.

Here’s a timeline of the major

events between Theta Tau’s initial suspension and the start of the fall 2018 semester:

April 18, 2018: SU suspends Theta Tau

Chancellor Kent Syverud sent a campus-wide email announcing the suspension of SU’s chapter of the Theta Tau engineering fraternity. The decision came after the university confirmed the fraternity was involved in the creation of online videos Syverud at the time called “extremely racist, anti-semitic, homophobic, sexist, and hostile to people with disabilities.”

In recordings obtained by The

Daily Orange showing the videos, which were filmed in Theta Tau’s house, a person forces another person to his knees and asks him to repeat an “oath” including racial slurs.

“I solemnly swear to always have hatred in my heart for the n*ggers, sp*cs and most importantly the f*ckin’ k*kes,” the person on his knees repeats.

The university held an open forum for SU community members in Hendricks Chapel, and protestors gathered outside Syverud’s house and demanded that the university release the videos. The hashtag “#WheresTheVideoSU” began to

university politics

circulate on Twitter.

The D.O. publishes first recording of Theta Tau video

The D.O. released a recording of one of the videos.

April 19, 2018 or April 20, 2018: SU chapter of Theta Tau says video depicts a ‘satirical sketch’ SU’s chapter of Theta Tau published a statement on its website apologizing for the video. The statement said Theta Tau’s prospective members write and act out a skit each semester to “roast” the fraternity’s current members. see theta

For Syracuse University freshmen looking to travel around campus or the city of Syracuse, buses can be an inexpensive form of transportation relative to ride-hailing companies and taxis.

Students can take Centro and Bernie buses to locations such as Destiny USA, downtown Syracuse and SU’s Main and South Campuses.

Many routes are free, though some require a student ID or fee to board.

Bus schedules vary during orientation, but will become more consistent when the fall 2018 semester

begins. Some buses are available throughout orientation week, while others operate only on specific days.

Here is a breakdown of the buses available each day of orientation week 2018, including departure times and cost. Unless otherwise noted, all buses depart from College Place.

April 21, 2018: SU community members stage sit-in at Schine Student Center over videos About 100 SU students filled the Schine Student Center atrium as families of newly accepted students attended an admitted students event.

Bicycle infrastructure should be priority of Walsh’s office

S

ummer 2018 brought a rise in both temperatures and gas prices, and that creates a perfect opportunity for both the environmentally conscious and those seeking financial relief to dust off their bicycles and hit the streets of Syracuse.

But due to a lack of bicycle lanes on the Westside of Syracuse and low-income areas, safe bicycling isn’t an easy or accessible option for all residents.

Syracuse should focus on improving existing bicycle infrastructure in those sections of the city to address the transportation needs of underrepresented populations and improve safety on busy streets.

“There are lots of women with young kids who are without cars, and dependent on the buses for transportation,” said Arthur Paris, a professor of sociology at Syracuse University.

But bicycles can reduce Syracuse’s carbon energy footprint more so than public buses, and should be a priority of the city.

To his credit, Mayor Ben Walsh seems all-in on bicycling in Syracuse. The city announced a bicycle share program earlier this year. While it sounds beneficial, it must be executed carefully to help people who actually need the transportation.

In December 2017, a Portland State University study found

PETER MORRISEY

MAKE SIMPLE CHANGE that, nationally, a significant portion of the United States’ population including people of color, women and older adults were not as likely to access or use bicycle shares.

In Syracuse, which has a high rate of concentrated minority poverty, according to a 2015 think tank report, a national study such as this needs to be taken into consideration.

But there’s also issues related to safety, and improving existing bicycle infrastructure in the city could alleviate dangerous conditions any bicyclist may face when riding beside cars or trucks.

Building additional bicycle lanes on streets would help people feel more comfortable on the road, said Zach Rall, a cyclist and volunteer on the Adapt CNY Transit Task Force.

The city of Syracuse must focus on improving bicycle infrastructure in areas that need it most.

Fishing risks require more warning

I

PETER MORRISEY

f you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish, make sure to teach him not to fish in Onondaga Lake. At least for now.

A study released this summer by the New York State Department of Health, with the assistance of Catholic Charities and the Southwest Community Center, showed that mercury and lead levels in refugees who eat fish from Onondaga Lake are much higher than that of non-refugees.

A significant number of refugees, mainly Bhutanese and Burmese, have been consuming large amounts of fish from Onondaga Lake — many unaware of possibly negative health effects, per the study.

Based off the study’s findings, more has to be done to inform new Americans and refugees of possible fishing dangers there.

Felicia Castricone, program director of refugee resettlement services for Catholic Charities, said the study conducted by her organization was a

step in the right direction, educating refugees on Onondaga Lake. It brought to light negative health effects that were not taken seriously, at first, she said. Castricone said she thinks many refugees now understand the risks of eating fish caught there.

Burma, also known as Myanmar, is a coastal country along the Bay of Bengal. There, fishing is one of the easiest ways to get food. So, in Syracuse, it appears an assumption is made by some: where there’s fish, there’s food.

And that’s where the challenge lies: helping new Americans in Syracuse understand the state of the lake, and dangers it could pose. New York’s study — which included 399 participants — was helpful, but more can be done.

from Onondaga Lake were finally put up in 2017, according to Syracuse.com. Those signs were posted in multiple languages including Spanish, English and Burmese.

But Sharon Moran, an associate professor of environmental studies at SUNY-ESF, said sometimes signs are not the way to go.

“People may place a great trust in word-of-mouth,” Moran said in an email. “It would make sense to get the messages spread that way, too.”

Sharing local knowledge on Onondaga Lake with refugees and new Americans has to be a multifaceted approach, including community outreach and frequent in-person conversations about the issue, for years to come.

This club was co-founded by its president Jovanna D’Alonzo. With roughly 15 members, a typical weekly meeting includes games between students as well as lessons and discussions on chess strategy. But D’Alonzo said the club is open to every skill level, and even if you don’t know how to play, members will be there to help you

One of the largest clubs on campus, the Entrepreneurship Club accommodates 200 to 300 members a semester said Cole Singer, the group’s copresident. The club’s weekly meetings feature talks given by different experts on the entrepreneurial world — some guests own their own businesses and others are connected to the field. At the end of every

meeting, members are given the opportunity to ask that week’s speaker any questions they may have.

Aside from educational perks, Singer said the club is a great opportunity to network with others.

“The people are kind of what make the club what it is,” Singer said. “The people are so driven in that club. I’ve met some of my best friends at Syracuse there.”

Sick of the dining hall? Syracuse has plenty of local eateries

By Brooke Kato asst. copy editor

Places to eat off campus and away from Syracuse University’s center and Marshall Street area aren’t hard to come by.

Women’s Building

asst. copy editor

Carrier Dome

The Carrier Dome is one of SU’s iconic structures. Also known as the “Loud House,” the Dome opened in 1980.

The windowless coliseum with a giant marshmallowlike roof can be seen from Interstate 81. The Dome houses five of SU’s 18 teams: football, men’s and women’s basketball and men’s and women’s lacrosse. The Carrier Dome can hold close to 50,000 people for football and more than 30,000 for basketball. The Dome is near the David B. Falk School of Sport and Human Dynamics and the Heroy Geology Building. Students with season tickets will enter through Gate E, the gate closest to the

The Women’s Building is serving up entertainment throughout the fall as the women’s volleyball team takes to the court. On Comstock Avenue, it’s one of the only places those on Mount Olympus can quickly access without climbing or descending an inordinate number of stairs. It’s also a short walk from the Quad. Once inside, students can get a bird’s-eye view of volleyball matches from a balcony off the second floor or sit in bleachers alongside the court.

3 Syracuse football storylines to watch as Week 1 nears

By Andrew Graham senior staff writer

Syracuse’s season opener at Western Michigan on Aug. 31 is less than two weeks away.

But as the Orange’s focus moves from getting ready for the season to game-specific planning, head coach Dino Babers and his staff still have position battles to resolve, injured players who need resting and a new defensive scheme to master.

Here are three storylines from Syracuse’s fall camp that will carry into Week 1.

In good hands?

As Babers’ high-flying offense enters a third year for the first time ever — Babers’ previous head coaching stints have only lasted two seasons — it remains unclear who the top pass catchers will be.

Unconventionally, tight end Ravian Pierce is Syracuse’s most proven option. The 6-foot-3-inch tall, 244 pound Pierce caught 29 passes a year ago for 263 yards.

He also led returning receivers in touchdowns a year ago, with four.

The outlook on who will emerge as the team’s primary wide receiver is also murky. The heir-apparents

to Steve Ishmael and Ervin Philips are Devin Butler and Jamal Custis, who make up 35.8 percent of the Orange’s returning receiving yards.

However, Butler’s shouldering most of that figure, with 327 yards to Custis’ 120.

And neither of them were able to separate from the pack during camp.

Much of the hype over the team’s wide receiver position stems from the freshmen, namely Anthony Queeley and Ed Hendrix.

Standing at 6-foot-2 and 6-foot3, respectively, both Queeley and Hendrix are young targets for quarterback Eric Dungey. Other names

included in the wide receiver conversation are Taj Harris, Sharod Johnson and sophomore Nykeim Johnson.

After the Spring Showcase in April, Babers said he was confident a No. 1 receiver would emerge.

“I’m going to keep the faith that somebody is going to pop up over the summer,” Babers said on April 13.

But the competition continues, Babers said.

Redefined defense

When Syracuse took the field defensively in its Spring Showcase, the Orange played almost exclusively

in a 4-2-5 look — omitting a linebacker for the coverage advantage of a nickel back.

Since, SU has worked on installing this new-look defense.

The advantages are straightforward: The flexibility of five defensive backs makes coverage easier.

In the age of five wide and hurry up offenses, fielding an extra corner or safety erases mismatches.

After the 4-2-5’s Spring Showcase debut, Babers said the look was to combat opponent personnel groupings.

10 fun facts to know about Syracuse’s sports history

By Anthony Dabbundo staff writer

Syracuse University was recently ranked No. 1 in the nation for school spirit, according to the Princeton Review, and here are 10 things you might not know about SU Athletics:

1. Only 23 years ago, Otto was the new mascot in town

Otto the Orange is the famed mascot of SU Athletics, but it wasn’t always that way. SU’s original mascot was the Saltine Warrior. A series of protests led to the Saltine Warrior’s removal as mascot. After 15 years as the unofficial mascot, Otto became the official mascot of SU in 1995.

2. Baseball isn’t Syracuse’s past time

Syracuse is the only team in the Atlantic Coast Conference that doesn’t have a baseball team.

The Orange first hosted baseball in 1870, with the program being disbanded in 1972. John Wildhack, SU’s director of athletics, in 2017 said baseball wasn’t under consideration for organization as an additional, official university sport.

Syracuse men’s basketball averaged 21,460 fans per game in the 2017-18 season, the highest attendance average in the ACC and second in the nation only behind Kentucky. The Carrier Dome hosted the three highest attended regular season games in 2018.

both their men’s and women’s basketball teams make the Final Four during the same year. Syracuse became the ninth in 2016 when Jim Boeheim and Quentin Hillsman both coached their respective teams into the national semifinals. The men’s team lost in the semis to North Carolina, while the women lost in the championship to Connecticut.

4. A school of champions

7. Boeheim’s bunch

3. The Dome carries them all

Of SU sports teams, the SU men’s lacrosse team holds the most national titles with 10, but men’s lacrosse has not been Syracuse’s most successful team as of late. Men’s cross country and field hockey both won NCAA championships in 2015.

5. Running into the record books

With an official time of 29:00.1, Justyn Knight won the men’s cross country NCAA championship in November 2017. He won as a senior after top-5 finishes in both his sophomore and junior seasons.

6. Double March Madness

Only 10 schools in NCAA history have had

Jim Boeheim has been the head coach at Syracuse for 42 seasons. In those 42 years, he’s won 926 games officially (the NCAA vacated 101 wins in 2015 following sanctions stemming from an eight-year investigation of the school). The Orange won a national championship in 2003 and appeared in six Final Fours. Boeheim has also won three Olympic gold medals as an assistant of the U.S. men’s basketball team.

8. Sporting success doesn’t stop after college ESPN ranked Syracuse sixth for producing professional draft talent. The “Ultimate Draft Ranking,” released in July, analyzed which

schools produce the best draft talent in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, WNBA, MLL (lacrosse) and NFP (softball).

9. Breaking down barriers

One of Syracuse’s famed football alumni is Ernie Davis, whom the Carrier Dome field is now named after (Ernie Davis Legends Field).

Davis won the Heisman Trophy in 1961. Davis died at 23 due to complications of leukemia before ever playing a professional game. He was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1979.

10. Coaching accolades

Since 2014, Syracuse has had six different coaches win ACC awards for individual sports.

Justin Moore (women’s rowing), Gary Gait (women’s lacrosse), Ian McIntyre (men’s soccer), John Desko (men’s lacrosse), Chris Fox (cross country and track and field) and Ange Bradley (field hockey), have all been honored by the conference in the last four years. Moore and Fox both left SU this summer to pursue other opportunities. amdabbun@syr.edu

5 major games to know from Syracuse’s 2017-18 season

By Billy Heyen

asst. sports editor

There were dozens of exciting moments in SU Athletics last year, and if you’re new to SU, this is what you should catch up on.

Here are five notable moments from Syracuse sports in the 2017-18 academic year.

Oct. 13, 2017

Syracuse defeated then-No. 2 Clemson 27-24 inside the Carrier Dome for SU football’s biggest upset since 1984. The Orange entered the game as 24-point underdogs to the defending national champions, but against a Clemson team with an injured starting quarterback, SU held the Tigers to just more than 200 yards passing. In front of SU’s largest crowd of the season (42,475 fans) the Orange offense totaled 440 yards and three touchdowns. In the game’s final quarter, a failed Clemson fake punt ended its last possession with more than 6 minutes remaining.

recreation

With Archbold closed, here’s where you can workout at SU

By Danny Emmerman staff writer

Syracuse University is the sixth-fittest college in the nation, according to Men’s Journal, due to several recreation facilities and popular niche activities such as judo, ice skating, aikido and cricket.

SU has 11 recreation facilities and offers programs including aquatics, intramurals, fitness classes, personal training, outdoor education and sport clubs.

Archbold Gymnasium, though, won’t open until fall of 2019 because of a major, ongoing construction project. Here’s where you can go now that Archbold is closed.

MAIN CAMPUS Brockway Fitness Center, Graham Fitness Center, Marion Fitness Center These three workout rooms are conveniently placed in dorms on Main Campus. They all have similar features, including weight machines, treadmills, ellipticals, climbers, bikes and rowers. Brewster/Boland/Brockway Complex residents have easy access to the Brockway Fitness Center, which is in the basement of the halls. The Graham Fitness Center, which was built in spring 2018, is found below Graham Dining Hall, between Day Hall and Flint Hall. Marion Fitness Center is convenient for students living in Marion Hall.

Ernie Davis Fitness Center

Built in 2009, Ernie Davis Hall is the most state-of-the-art dorm on campus. Likewise, its gym, open not just to Ernie Davis residents, may give students the best workout experience. The fitness center includes free weights, weight machines, treadmills, ellipticals, steppers, bicycle machines and rowing machines

along with a 2,500 square-foot exercise room/ dance studio. Ernie Davis does not have squat racks, but does offer the campus’ lone Olympic lifting platform.

Women’s Building

At the bottom of Mount Olympus, off Comstock Avenue, the Women’s Building is now the preeminent place to shoot hoops on Main Campus. The multi-purpose facility features basketball/volleyball courts, a swimming pool, a dance studio and a fitness center. Inside the building are the lone two squat racks on campus. Outside the Women’s Building are outdoor basketball and tennis courts.

SOUTH CAMPUS Goldstein Fitness Center

Inside the South Campus student center, the Goldstein gym offers free weights, weight machines and a variety of cardio equipment.

Melo Center

The Melo Center was built when SU alum Carmelo Anthony contributed $3 million to the gym project. It attracts basketball recruits and both the women’s and men’s basketball teams to regularly practice there. Last year, the Melo Center was open for the general student body on Tuesday and Thursday from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Outdoor Education Center and Challenge Course

SU’s Outdoor Education Center and Challenge Course offers opportunities for team-building and group activities. With indoor and outdoor challenge courses, groups can reserve time to climb through low and high obstacle courses at any point in the year for at least $15, with an SUID.

The Women’s Building on Comstock Avenue has a swimming pool, dance studio and fitness center, among other recreational amenities. sam ogozalek editor-in-chief

Skytop Recreation Area

In the Skytop Recreation Area on South Campus, there are 20 tennis courts, two basketball courts, one multi-purpose field and two volleyball courts. The outdoor area is behind the Goldstein Student Center.

Tennity Ice Skating Pavilion

SU and SUNY-ESF students can rent skates

and glide on the ice at no charge. The Tennity Ice Skating Pavilion is used by the Division I women’s hockey team as well as the figure skating and hockey clubs. During the school year, the rink is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday from 11 a.m. to midnight, Saturday from 10 a.m. to midnight and Sunday from noon to 10 p.m. drererman@syr.edu

storylines and 11, you’re going to get a bunch of nickel,” Babers said. “It was just based off personnel groups the offense was throwing out.”

But when opponents decide to hand it off, there’s a risk of the two remaining linebackers getting covered by blockers. To remedy this, the Orange will likely utilize some positional flexibility at the safety and linebacker positions.

Strong safety Evan Foster, who weighs 223 pounds, is a defensive backfield option who can hang in the box. Safety-turned-linebacker Kielan Whitner has the ability to switch between the linebacker and safety positions.

The shift to the 4-2-5 has also displaced certain players from their previous positions, such as Whitner.

“Some guys have moved positions … it’s been tough on them,” junior cornerback Christopher Fredrick said.

But the defense dominated during the team’s first scrimmage, Baber said. A strong showing against the Broncos on Aug. 31 could expel any doubts about the defense.

The trenches

SU returns four of its five starters from last year’s main core: redshirt sophomore Sam Heckel, redshirt junior Evan Adams, redshirt sophomore Airon Servais and redshirt senior Cody Conway. The four have combined to play in 75 games.

“The summer went a lot better than I’ve ever seen it,” Conway said, “I’m just expecting a great year all around and people doing better than we saw all last year.”

Conway will slot back in at left tackle, Adams at right guard and Servais at center.

Heckel, according to his Cuse.com bio, is in a position battle at left guard with redshirt senior Aaron Roberts. Roberts played 15 games and started 12 at left guard during his freshman and sophomore years before a knee injury cost him his entire 2017 season.

Filling the hole left by Jamar McGloster’s graduation is the biggest job for the team’s offensive line. As of now, it has been filled by graduate transfer offensive lineman Koda Martin.

The 6-foot-6, 304 pound tackle from Texas A&M appeared in 34 games for the Aggies dur-

ing four years in College Station, Texas. Those 34 games are more than any SU offensive lineman has played, individually, in college.

“He’s meshing really well,” Servais said of Martin. “Tackle position is something he’s

really good at.”

Combining Martin’s hard-won SEC experience with Syracuse’s four returning starters should keep Dungey upright and the offense moving forward.
