1969 computer center takeover

Assistant News Editor In order to become “world class,” Thomas Brooks said Pitt must continue to show its commitment toward diversity and inclusion through intentionality and action.

“We say that we want to create a more racially equitable University, but to be world class calls for intentionality and much more investment in action, just like the folks were saying from 1969,” Brooks, the president of Pitt’s African American Alumni Council, said. “We need action, and we need time-bound accountability.”

Brooks spoke at Saturday’s virtual sit-in to commemorate the 53rd anniversary of BAS’s historic computer center takeover. Black students staged a 1969 sit-in at the Cathedral of Learning’s eighth-floor computer center to demand improvements for Black students and faculty on campus.

Hosted by the Black Action Society and AAAC, about 160 students, alumni and community members attended the commemoration.

Many of the BAS members who played key roles in the takeover also attended, including Tony Fountain, Ludwick Hayden, Jack Daniel and Valerie Njie.

Linda Wharton Boyd, former AAAC president and a Pitt alumna who was admitted as a result of changes enacted after the demands, started the event by leading attendees in prayer to “improve the life and legacy” of the Black community at Pitt. Following the prayer, Fountain presented a brief history of the events and actions leading up to the sit-in.

During the takeover on Jan. 15, 1969, more than 40 Black students held a six-hour sit-in at the Cathedral computer center demanding that the University improve the life and education of Black students on campus. Some of their demands included the implementation of a Black Studies program, a Black collection of books in the Hillman Library, financial aid for Black students, more Black faculty and staff and the recognition of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday as a University holiday.

Fountain said a group of Black students, including himself, founded BAS on May 19, 1968, which is Malcolm X’s birthday, following the assassination of MLK earlier that year. He said the group was created to bring Black students and community members together. In an effort to improve Black representation and education at

Fountain said many Black students grew frustrated with the University’s failure to meet their demands, which is why the group decided to stage a student boycott of classes on MLK's birthday. Following the boycott, a few BAS members met to strategize more direct action toward the University, which ultimately led to the com-

“Following a rather energized discussion, we decided to name the organization Black Action Society, a name that would highlight action and a commitment to the overall Black community on and off campus,” Fountain said.

Although the University presented a few initial concessions to Black students, including a small operating and programs budget, a corner office space, a program named Project A, which would enroll 50 Black first-years, and hiring a few Black faculty, many of the key BAS demands were not met.

puter center takeover.

Fountain said although the six-hour takeover was “tense,” it was also a “unique and proud moment” that led to many improvements for Black students at Pitt.

“Resolved at the computer center takeover, a new era began in the relationship between Pitt and the Black community,” Fountain said. “There were more Black students, Black faculty and staff.

Black-oriented studies and programs and more positive engagement and support of the Black community. And more Black athletes.”

Hayden, a BAS member during the takeover, said while students occupied the computer center, BAS chose Daniel, Eugene Davis and himself

to represent the Black community and negotiate with Chancellor Posvar.

“Those negotiations, though tense at moments, were as successful as they were because of the action that the students had taken,” Hayden said. “That made negotiation for us a much simpler task than it wouldn’t have been otherwise.”

Brooks added that current students, alumni and community members can learn more about the takeover from Pitt’s 2019 publication “Say it Loud”, a collection of essays from the students involved in the takeover and those who benefited from the changes that it brought.

The event also focused on highlighting the current experience of Black students on campus.

Anaya Joynes, the president of Pitt’s National Society of Black Engineers chapter, highlighted the key points of the Black Senate’s summer 2020 demands, released during a resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. Joynes also noted the similarities between the 1969 takeover’s demands and those released two summers ago.

Joynes said the Black experience survey from 2020, which helped the Black Senate draft titsheir demands, emphasized that many Black students face microaggressions on campus and feel as though Black issues are often overlooked by the University.

“Sometimes it does feel like Pitt does not take Black students' voices seriously. And they only care when it's popular in the media” Joynes said.

“And then when that kind of moves out of the news rotation, you don't really hear about Pitt supporting us anymore.”

Destiny Mann, the current BAS president, said that although there was a lot of momentum following the initial demands last year, it seems to have faltered since then. She added that students are at the forefront of holding the University accountable, which has been increasingly hard as many student leaders also try to focus on revitalizing their organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Students reflect on online start to the spring semester

Alexandra Ross Staff Writer

For Hannah Sharp, a junior biology major, returning to virtual classes for the start of the spring semester has already taken its toll.

“My mental health is terrible,” Sharp said.

“Hasn't been worse.”

Pitt announced on Dec. 30, 11 days before classes were set to start, that it would implement a cohort-based arrival program for oncampus students and host online classes for at least two and a half weeks. The changes came as COVID-19 cases across the country rose drastically due to the highly transmissible Omicron variant. With classes online for now, students reflected on the continued impact of COVID-19 on their college education and experience.

Lauren Reuther, a senior psychology and gender, sexuality and women’s studies major who works as a student behavioral associate at UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital, said the number of COVID-19 exposures in the hospi-

pittnews.com

tal was getting concerningly high.

“Pretty much the majority of units are considered a yellow zone, meaning that there was a COVID exposure in that a patient and/or a staff is sick with COVID,” Reuther said. “And it's literally like, my whole hospital I'm working at, which has not happened since probably the beginning, when everything started in 2020.”

Since coming back to Oakland for her virtual classes, Sharp said she has struggled with feeling isolated and unmotivated. She said asking her friends and members of her sorority, Alpha Epsilon Phi, to study with her at the library has helped her stay focused.

“Now, I’ll have five people like, ‘Oh, I'll come to the library with you, like, I'll just hang out,’” Sharp said. “I feel like that's really helpful.”

Chris McGlade, a junior political science major, also returned to Oakland to attend his virtual classes from an off-campus residence.

He said living in Oakland until in-person classes resume offers him more things to do and a better environment for studying than his hometown.

“Seeing that there was like nothing really to do where I live, I decided that I would just come to campus and try to see what I can do here and have more of a study environment than what I might have at home,” McGlade said.

After being either partially or fully online for most of his college career, McGlade said he has gotten used to Zoom and isn’t as upset by the return of virtual classes.

“At this point, I think hearing things are online is much more of like, a ‘sigh’ and kind of annoying,” McGlade said. “But I understand it's pretty necessary and I'm hopeful that we'll return.”

Reuther said she also hopes to go back to inperson classes on time, because online classes are worse for both her mental health and academic success.

“I just do better academically and mentally when I have reasons to leave my house, and I just feel more engaged in class,” Reuther said.

“There's less distractions. I just learn better.”

Sharp said she isn’t worried about catching COVID-19 while on Pitt’s campus, in part

January 19, 2022

because a majority of Pitt students consistently mask up.

“Even last semester, it wasn't required in stores and coffee shops, but Pitt students were always wearing masks either way, which is what I do and what I noticed that everyone's doing,” Sharp said.

As a student health care worker, Reuther also said she doesn’t feel uncomfortable attending in-person classes because she already works in an environment in which COVID-19 exposure is much more likely.

“I'm a health care worker, so I'm exposed to COVID literally all the time,” Reuther said. “So going to class doesn't really scare me, but I understand why other people are nervous.”

McGlade said he hopes to see professors continue to offer a virtual option for students this semester, even after in-person classes resume, because he sees it as beneficial to students.

MLK’s legacy pittnews.com

The party of ‘freedom of speech’ is censoring themselves

Livia LaMarca

For The Pitt News For two years now, we’ve seen Republicans cry “My body, my choice” in response to the stay-at-home orders and mask mandates put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. A popular saying among the left, pro-choice crowd has become the new chant for the right, antimasker agenda — as if wearing a cloth over one’s face is as invasive as a pregnancy.

As much as I hate to admit it, it makes sense that the political right has adopted such a saying. They claim to be, after all, the defenders of our first amendment rights — defenders of our freedom of speech.

So why is it that a year since Donald Trump’s presidency ended, and a year since the Jan. 6 insurrection, these supposed freedom of speech warriors are censoring themselves?

“Let’s go Brandon”' is not as powerful or impactful of a phrase as they think it is. In fact, it’s a display of the constant irony within proTrump groups.

The phrase “Let’s go Brandon” grew in popularity among right-wing circles because it’s a coded, clean version for “F— Joe Biden.” The phrase started during an NBC interview with NASCAR driver Brandon Brown in October.

Behind Brown and the reporter, the crowd chanted “F— Joe Biden,” which the interviewer misheard as “Let’s go Brandon.”

The slogan quickly took off within rightwing groups and became yet another catchphrase that Trump supporters like to stick to the bumper of their cars.

Republicans like to proclaim themselves as defenders of our first amendment rights.

However, like any political party, they tend to be hypocritical from time to time. For example, When Twitter banned Trump a year ago, Republicans seethed at the idea that “Big Tech” was infringing upon the first amendment. At the same time, Republicans have been fierce advocates against trans people using their desired bathroom, which is just as much, if not

pittnews.com

more, of an infringement on first amendment rights.

Being freedom of speech warriors is only one of the many titles Republicans have given

want to establish an Orwellian, “1984”-esque communist regime. They claim their Democratic neighbors are communists, socialists and Marxists without ever fully grasping the differ-

Promiti Debi senior staff illustrator themselves over the years. They also used to claim to be the party that advocates for “traditional familial values.” However, with the rise of Republican superstars like Matt Gaetz and cheating adulterer Trump, these traditional values Republicans once highlighted during the Nixon and Reagan eras seem to be deteriorating.

And even though these traditional values are breaking down, it is apparently still too controversial to say f— out loud. I’ll admit, the f-word might be too strong of a word to use, I suppose — it may corrupt the ears of little children around the country, after all. Oh no!

For next time, it might be useful to invest in a thesaurus. There are quite literally thousands of different synonyms to replace the F in FJB. Many Republicans claim that Democrats

ence between the three. There is no Big Brother waiting to smite you for going against the Democratic agenda. You will not be hunted down and slaughtered if you criticize the president or call him names. If there was a Big Brother who did these things, most people would have died a long time ago.

The reality is, I think there really is not much else to defend when it comes to our freedom of speech — we already have it. With the exception of incitement, defamation and a few other kinds of speech that obviously should not be protected, most of what you say is protected under the first amendment. You could say the most heinous and disgusting things, but guess what? Hate speech is protected by the Constitution, and so is your right to cuss out the president.

January 19, 2022

So why not just say “F— Joe Biden?” It’s not a call to arms nor is it some kind of wicked battle-cry. And it’s definitely not some funny inside joke — especially because everyone’s in on it. I wish I could say that this catchphrase is one big Gen-Z meme created to get a laugh out of people, but of course it isn’t. Maybe we truly are living in some dystopian novel.

Representatives on the House floor are sporting “Let’s go Brandon” merch and Florida Republican Bill Posey went as far as to end an October floor speech with the popular saying and a fist bump. It’s not just in Washington either. A cryptocurrency called LGBcoin, or Let’s Go Brandon Coin, attempted to sponsor Brown, whose name started this charade.

There are many Democrats and non-Trump supporters who think this whole ordeal is ridiculous. At the same time, many Republicans seem to actually enjoy the self-censorship they are participating in. Republican ad maker Jim Innocenzi said this new saying is “done with a little bit of a class.”

I think many would say that there really is nothing classy about this whatsoever. But regardless of whether the public thinks it's classy or not, this whole ordeal just screams idiocy and highlights the hypocrisy of the GOP. The party of “freedom of speech” once spoke freely and didn’t censor themselves on live TV. But now, months after the incident, pro-Trump Republicans are censoring themselves when that is the very thing they swore to fight against.

Honestly, if you want to criticize, ridicule or simply just cuss out the president or any other elected official — just do it. There is no need to censor your language or hide behind a thinly veiled joke in order to get your point across. It’s cowardly. Those that chant “Let’s go Brandon” are playing into the exact thing they are supposedly trying to protect this country from.

Just swear next time. It’ll save you from embarrassment.

Culture

Undergraduate Review returns pittnews.com

Navigating humanities gen-eds in the Dietrich school Diana Velasquez Culture Editor

The Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences gives its students a “liberal arts education.” Basically, that means under the formal curriculum, students are introduced to the fields and intellectual concepts of multiple disciplines — whether that be astronomy or musical theater.

This is the reason behind those perhaps pesky gen-eds of yours.

Don’t go shaking your fingers at Pitt administrators — the concept behind a liberal arts education has been around as long as thew ancient Greeks, who thought that to achieve universal understanding you needed to master disciplines such as arithmetic, grammar, rhetoric and more.

John Twyning, the associate dean of undergraduate studies, is also the chair of Dietrich’s Undergraduate Council. As the official governing body for undergraduate issues, the council is made up of 12 faculty members and five students who manage gen-eds for the Dietrich school.

After more than 20 years at Pitt, Twyning said one of the best things about gen-eds is how frequently they encourage students to take on multiple majors or minors.

“I don't think there's a single student I've come across in my time who has just taken a single major which is all they would need. Taking a major and their gen-eds,” Twyning said. “Everyone is doing a double major, a major and three certificates, two majors and three certificates.”

Twyning said often students will see gen-eds as obstacles, especially if their major requires more credits. Particularly, it’s more difficult for STEM majors which tend to require more credits. “[Students] often see the requirements as a series of hurdles to jump over to get to where they want to go. In fact, I think they're foundational to a liberal arts degree,” Twyning said. “I think they're foundational to all the degrees we offer, no matter what major you're doing, no matter what discipline you're in.”

The English department is the largest on campus in terms of courses offered, with a total of about 560. Gayle Rogers, the department’s chair, said their gen-eds are curated to have as wide of an appeal as possible.

“In the English department, we love gen-eds.

We try to get as many of our courses as possible to have gen-eds whenever we can. There are some that are just naturally inclined to fit for

courses that we teach,” Rogers said. “Writingintensive is an obvious one. Literature is another obvious one. We want students from across the Dietrich school.”

Usually gen-eds under arts or creative work categories also fall under the jurisdiction of the arts and humanities departments, such as film or studio arts.

Dana Och, the film and media studies department’s director of undergraduate studies, said film courses with the “W” writing-intensive requirement are very popular among STEM students. But the department also curates classes that intersect between the STEM and humanities fields — like Technology of the Body or Disability in Film.

“Both of these classes look at how the medical field, science and technology fields talk about the body and deal with things like traumatic brain injuries or depictions of trans individuals

through the medical model or the social model,” Och said.

Lenore Thomas, the chair of the studio arts department, said the department is relatively small compared to others in Dietrich and only offers one type of gen-ed.

“The studio arts department has less geneds in the Dietrich school. While the English department is the largest on campus, the studio arts department only offers a few gen-eds and only in one category — creative work,” Thomas said.

Studio arts offers gen-eds under the creative work requirement such as Photography 1, Drawing 1 and Sculpture 1. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t offer programs that intersect with the STEM fields.

Swimming and diving international athletes embrace challenges of competing in America

Richie Smiechowski Staff Writer

While swimming and diving programs across the nation continue to recruit on the domestic stage, Pitt head coach John Hargis searches beyond the confines of the United States to land his record-breaking athletes.

Hargis and the rest of his coaching staff haven’t hesitated to pursue international talent.

Between the men’s and women’s teams, the rosters combine to have 13 international athletes from nine different countries — a significantly higher number than some other top programs across the country.

“It’s in a sense kind of funny — at the time I thought nothing of it, that it was just a sprain,” van der Laan, now a senior swimmer at Pitt, said.

“Then for it to turn to ankle reconstruction and to go through that whole process of recovery, not knowing if I was one, going to be able to swim again, and two, to compete at a high level, that part was pretty daunting.”

The recovery did give van der Laan the chance to ponder his future.

As opposed to the United States, where universities allow collegiate athletes to further their academic career while also working toward their degrees, the majority of high-level athletes in Australia must choose between one or the other.

Luckily for van der Laan, he managed to make a full recovery and, once again, found some of his old form in the pool. Competitive swimming was once again an option for him.

While exploring his options, he spoke with Senior diver Amy Read, originally from Leeds, England, prepares to dive.

Read broke Pitt’s record in women’s platform diving last year.

a friend from Australia who made the jump to NCAA swimming and had nothing but good things to say about his experience. Shortly after that conversation, van der Laan took it upon himself to see what options he had across the Pacific. Almost 10,000 miles away, it was Pitt that stood out to him as the best combination of athletics and academics.

“I got a call from one of the coaches here at Pitt and it straightaway jumped out,” he said. “I saw myself developing as both a student and a swimmer and as a person as well, so I took that opportunity. I’d like to think that I ran with it so far.”

It only takes a quick glance at the Pitt swim and dive record books to see that van der Laan has made the most of his opportunity in Pittsburgh, particularly in the 100 Breast event. In three years with the Panthers, he’s broken the school record in the event each of those three years, most recently at the Ohio State Invitational on Nov. 18 with a 51.42.

He was an All-American, ACC bronze medalist and NCAA Championship finalist last season and looks to be on track for an even better

senior season. Hargis, a former Olympic gold medalist, said van der Laan has the potential and mindset to swim at any level.

“With Cooper, obviously he’s an extremely talented athlete, probably one of the more talented athletes I’ve ever worked with,” Hargis said.

“He kind of fits the mold in terms of when we do look international. We really want to find the kid that has an Olympic mindset, and I would say that Cooper has that mindset.”

Hargis also acknowledged that swimming at the national level for a country as competitive as Australia is an uphill task, but a goal that he thinks van der Laan could achieve.

Senior diver Amy Read is another standout international recruit who’s put together a successful career in her four years with the Panthers.

Hailing from Leeds, England, Read qualified for the NCAA championships in each of her first three seasons, and broke the school record last year in women’s platform diving with a 289.65 against West Virginia.

Gueye’s emergence gives Pitt men’s basketball a ‘different look’

Kyle Saxon

Senior Staff Writer Throughout spring and summer 2021, Pitt men’s basketball head coach Jeff Capel was tasked with rebuilding much of his roster. After losing the previous season’s top three scorers, Capel turned to the high school and junior college levels plus the transfer portal in search of new talent.

Graduate student forward Mouhamadou Gueye was the final addition to the 2021-22 roster, and the Stony Brook transfer immediately emerged as one of Pitt’s premier players. When the program announced Gueye’s addition to the roster, Capel praised his defensive ability, and presence around the rim on both ends.

"We love his competitiveness and ability to play above the rim on both ends of the floor,” Capel said. “He gives us another versatile, experienced forward who can help impact winning."

Gueye’s defensive ability appeared to be his calling card, and rightfully so. He earned America East Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2020-21, and brought an imposing interior presence to a Pitt team in desperate need of size.

Gueye provided just that early in the season –– his main contributions came from blocked shots and rebounds, with scoring fluctuating from game to game. He flashed the ability to face up defenders and score off the dribble, but was not a focal point.

Gueye dealt with a personal matter early in the season, and struggled to get in a rhythm for a few games due to his brief time away from the team. To try and get back in rhythm, Gueye narrowed how he viewed his role and tried to focus on doing anything necessary for his team to win games.

“The biggest thing was trying to stay focused and play my part to help the team win,” Gueye said. “Whether that’s me starting, me coming off the bench, me having 14, me having two points.

Just doing whatever I can to help our team get the win. I feel like that’s the mentality of a lot of people on our team, and just the theme of our team.”

While it took him three games to find his stride, Gueye finally broke through and made four of his eight 3-point attempts against UMBC on Nov. 27. Despite this flash of shooting ability, Gueye’s volume did not increase consistently in the immediate aftermath. After the Jacksonville game a few weeks later, Capel still

viewed Gueye as inconsistent as a shooter, and valued the other aspects of his game.

“He’ll make a three, hopefully he’ll make more, but that’s something that he’s inconsistent with,” Capel said. “But the things that he can do, he can block shots. He can be active defensively, he can drive, especially when he has bigger guys

consistent and efficient shooters on the team is a recent development, it is something that he expected of himself since the day he decided to come to Pitt.

“We discussed this in recruitment, that throughout the summer and throughout the season, I was going to have to develop a jumpshot to

this uptick in production.

“Just embracing the physicality, playing with more of a motor, I think that’s the biggest thing,” Gueye said. “I’ve been playing with high energy, feeding off of the energy of these guys trusting me with the ball, and I trust in my work. I work on this stuff every single day, so it’s just going out there and doing it.”

Since Pitt’s emotional December win over Saint John’s, Gueye is averaging 12.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, shooting 45.1% from the field and 39.4% from 3-point range while playing 35.1 minutes per contest. For Gueye, those impressive numbers are no oddity.

Rather, it is the standard he holds himself to.

“I’ve been expecting this of myself, that's part of the reason I chose to come here and play at this level, because I always knew that I could,” Gueye said. “But now to see it really clicking and rolling together, it’s become something I’m expecting to go and do every game.”

That role has evolved over the past month of the season, and Gueye proved to be far more than an interior player. Gueye attempted at least three shots from beyond the arc in each of his last seven games, and is shooting 35.8 percent from 3-point range on the season.
