The Department of Public Safety and Syracuse police patrolled Euclid Avenue on Monday, the day of SU Showcase, said DPS Deputy Chief Drew Buske.

No citations were given out by Syracuse police, he said, and no partying activity or violations occurred.

DPS had extra officers on duty Monday because of SU Showcase, when members of the community and local high school students can come to campus to see student presentations, Buske said.

“We had a few extra officers on today to help with the (SU) Showcase presentations,” he said.

The officers would have been available to assist had there been partying or violations of city ordinances on Euclid Avenue, he said.

Police said they will also be patrolling Euclid Avenue on Tuesday, as well.

Last year, before MayFest and SU Showcase were separate days, many students chose to party along Euclid Avenue instead of participating in the SU Showcase events on the Quad.

This year, MayFest will occur on a separate day, April 30, and is a university-sanctioned event in Walnut Park. Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner sent an e-mail to students reminding them that all city ordinances would be strictly enforced that day on Euclid Avenue and elsewhere.
