CROSSING BORDERS TO COMMON GROUND

OLIVE YOU

Nina Kneuer Staff Writer

From a Palestinian point of view the Arava Institute is located in Palestine, and from an Israeli point of view the Institute is located in Israel.

Students and faculty from the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies — a university that focuses on intercultural research and environmental work — led a discussion, called Crossing Borders: Environmental Cooperation in Israel and Palestine, in the William Pitt Union Thursday as part of Pitt’s International Week.

Ari Massefski, the Arava Institute University relations manager, introduced the discussion and said the school has enrolled students from more than 45 countries. About a third of the students have Jewish or Israeli backgrounds, another third come from Arab countries and the remaining third are students from outside the region — from places such as America and Europe.

Shadi Shiha, a 25-year-old 2014 graduate who studied autotronic engineering, was among the Arab third of students to come to the university. He said cooperating to solve environmental issues is a cause that can link Palestine and Israel.

“It’s not only a Palestinian conflict, it’s not a Palestinian struggle, it’s a humanity struggle,” Shiha said.

The state of Israel was created at the end of World War II. Palestinians are the Arab population who occupied the land before Israel’s creation. Though there have been numerous peace See Cooperation on page 2

From watching “Dennis the Menace,” “Beverly Hills, 90201” and “Saved by the Bell,” Julissa Arce’s American dream began at a young age.

Growing up in Mexico, Arce watched American television shows with wonder and curiosity. She especially identified with Dennis from “Dennis the Menace” and recalled an episode where Dennis took revenge on a mean neighbor by putting his house on

wheels.

“I wanted to grow up in the United States in a house on wheels,” Arce said at the William Pitt Union Thursday. “That was my dream.”

Arce — a former undocumented immigrant who rose to become a vice president at Goldman Sachs and director at Merrill Lynch — spoke to an audience of about 30 people at Pitt for International Week in the Union’s Ballroom. She talked about her own experiences and the immigrant issues currently happening in the United States.

The author of “My (Underground) American Dream: My True Story as an Undocumented Immigrant,” Arce is a writer, speaker and advocate for immigrant rights. She also is the co-founder and chairman of the Ascend Educational Fund — a scholarship fund for immigrant students that enables them to have educational and professional opportunities regardless of their immigrant status.

Despite recent success, watching these television shows throughout her youth, Arce formed an idea of what America was — and See Dreamer on page 2

she didn’t quite fit in.

“Everyone in these shows looked exactly the same,” Arce said. “They were all rich, they were all beautiful, they were all white.”

At 11 years old, Arce’s family flew to the United States and moved to Texas with a tourist visa. When she came to the United States, Arce said she was told to assimilate and learn English. Learning English was a “means of survival,” she said, but the concept of assimilating was more difficult.

Though Arce, now 34, had graduated in the top 5 percent of her high school class with extracurriculars, the American dream seemed far-fetched. She was rejected from all the colleges she applied to because she did not have a social security number and always left that section of the application blank.

But Arce caught a break//CLICHE?? in 2011. Texas became the first state to accept undocumented immigrants into its universities, and she received a $10,000 scholarship to the University of Texas at Austin, presented to her by Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

Cooperation, pg. 1 attempts, the two sides are in conflict over who controls the land.

Shiha is a refugee from Jordan — Shiha’s father fled from Palestine to Kuwait in 1948 and his mother did the same in 1967. His mother and father met in Kuwait and migrated again to Jordan as refugees during the Persian Gulf War in 1991.

Shiha interest in environmental work evolved at the Arava Institute through his involvement in environmental events in Jordan — he worked on green roofing, recycling and upcycling. At Arava, Shiha and other students work on research involving water conservation, renewable energy and sustainable agriculture, Massefski said.

Shiha spoke about a project he worked on to conserve water. Shiha said because Jordanians love to wash their cars, he helped create a thin wax top layer for cars to keep off dirt, oil, water and other particles to reduce the amount of water wasted from frequent car washing.

“It made me feel like I had a responsibility to

pittnews.com

“On the plaque it said I was a ‘ray of hope for Texas’s future,’” Arce said, “Little did [Perry] know I was undocumented.”

Arce saw a poster one day on campus advertising a summer internship at Goldman Sachs — an investment bank on Wall Street — that paid $10,000. She figured if she could become rich it either would not matter that she was undocumented or she could fix her immigration status. Her new goal became to work on Wall Street where she would “fake it until [she made] it.”

She got the internship at Goldman Sachs and was later offered a full-time job — which she obtained through purchasing a fake green card and social security number.

At this point in her speech, Arce broke away from the story for a moment.

“This is where I tend to lose people,” Arce said. “People say ‘oh, she’s a criminal.’

But think about all the unlawful things that happen in our country.”

As Arce spoke, projected on the screen behind her was a map showing states that had banned granting undocumented students access to higher education — such as Alabama and Georgia. But living in Texas, Arce had access to an education which

opened doors to new opportunities.

“Looking back, I still think I was lucky,” Arce said. “I was a 27-year-old vice president at Goldman Sachs and I had a boyfriend that could dance.”

Arce concluded her speech by discussing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — an executive order by former President Barack Obama that protected young undocumented immigrants brought to the country illegally by their parents — like Arce was.

But Arce said after President Donald Trump rescinded DACA, the 800,000 people who were promised protection are all “in limbo.”

Pedro Pallares, an audience member, had a personal connection to this part of Acre’s speech. Pallares, a sophomore majoring in bioinformatics, is a former undocumented immigrant and said this speech was particularly influential for him.

“I think for anyone here who has never interacted with an undocumented immigrant would get a lot out of it,” Pallares said.

“This would be a good eye opener.”

Pallares is now a citizen, but he and his brothers have been following Arce’s story for a long time, taking inspiration from her suc-

cess for their own lives.

Arce’s success story resonated with senior Christine Nguyen, a computer engineering major. Nguyen’s passion for advocating for minorities and her involvement in Pitt Excel — a program to help retain minority engineers in the engineering program — motivated her to attend the event.

“We need to amplify more diverse voices and get more representation higher up in the social hierarchy,” Nguyen said. “It’s important for [minority students] to bring this different perspective into a very majority, white dominated field.”

Arce said that her story had a happy ending. She became an American citizen through marriage and now uses her platform to advocate for immigrant rights.

But she said there a lot of undocumented immigrants who no longer believe that the American dream is possible and that many immigrants are going back to their native countries.

“If people no longer risk everything to come here, then I think that makes America less great,” Arce said. “If there’s a day where people stop thinking America is milk and honey, then America stops being great.”

help Jordan,” Shiha said.

A former Arava student who also attended the discussion, Eve Tendler, is a 23-year-old Middle Eastern studies and geography student at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. She was born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel, where her family, who were Holocaust survivors, settled in the late 1970s. Like Shiha, she believes that environment is one thing that can make a strong connection between Israel and Palestine.

“Environment is ... something that almost each person can relate to when you talk about food and water,” Tendler said.

Environment isn’t the only thing that has the power to bring people together, she said. It’s easier for people to talk about things that are strong parts of their identities — such as a mutual love of football. It’s more important to make personal connections than to make formal and political connections to mend the conflict, she said.

“I do think that any type of interest can bring people together,” Tendler said. “I think religion can be something that’s very interesting to look into, between Muslims and Jewish, especially because there is so much in common between the two religions.”

Annie Linden, a 24-year-old research intern at Arava, graduated from Bard College in 2016.

As someone with a Jewish background, Linden welcomed the opportunity to work on solutions to the conflict.

“It was a unique opportunity ... to live with both Israeli and Palestinians and people from all different types of backgrounds,” Linden said.

She said that especially the people living in Palestine, Israel and Jordan, who are in a desert climate, need to be aware of their access to water because in the future they may face a lack of clean water if they do not take action to become more environmentally friendly.

“People that have these geographic specific borders, they come in one room together and they realize they have similar environmental problems,” Linden said.

Tendler said when she was young she was given one-sided information about the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict in school. One day she was watching the television and saw bombs being dropped in Gaza — a self-governing Palestinian area of land located between Israel and the Mediterranean Sea. That’s when Tendler became interested and started asking questions about the

conflict.

“The media is showing a war zone, which can make people forget that it’s actually humans that are living their lives there, and raising their children in this reality,” Tendler said.

It took Shiha four months to convince his parents to let him go to university at the Arava Institute because it is located in Israel. Growing up around Palestinian culture, he said all he knew about Israel was that there was a lot of military activity. So, when he crossed the border, he was expecting to be shot at.

“As my mom said, [Israelis] will put you in a bagel and eat you,” Shiha said.

Shiha instead discovered a country with students like him who had different views but were open to listening to one another. Shiha said he wishes people would become more educated about the struggles that people are going through in Palestine.

“Let’s say we talk to a million people, maybe one or two of these million people some day will be decision makers and will do something actual about this conflict to solve it,” Shiha said.

“Hopefully one day someone will do a change, any change, about it.”

Opinions column

Friday Fly: Hillman ground floor Maggie Koontz Columnist

“Friday Fly” is a biweekly column dedicated to a fly on the wall’s perspective on campus spots and daily life here at Pitt. This is the first installment.

Midterms have begun at the University of Pittsburgh’s campus in Oakland and Hillman Library, a focal study point for students, is busy for a Wednesday night.

Hillman is a popular hangout for both studious and social types on a late October evening. On the ground floor of the library, people are scattered throughout the cavernous room, tucked into nooks and corners or clustered at tables in the center of the room. The floor is alive with chattering, filled with people sitting in front of glowing laptop screens and colossal textbooks.

The floors above are quieter, with noise decreasing as you go up until you reach absolute silence. I prefer the higher floors unless I’m working on a group project with other students.

Sometimes the chatter is inspiring, but for me, homework typically requires absolute silence.

Of course, the ground floor isn’t necessarily loud. Rather, it is a consistent hum — the Hillman Hum, if you will. It is a vibration you can feel in the air as soon as you step through the doors.

No distinct voices emerge except for the students near me. Discussions about homework or weekend plans fade into the background as the Hillman Hum takes control.

The overhead fluorescent lights are bright and hurt your eyes if you look at them for too long. They form long, parallel lines across the ceiling, stretching out until you can’t see where they end. Rectangular wooden tables are spread out on the ground floor, but they never seem to be enough. Some are occupied by one person and some are taken up by sprawling groups of friends or classmates.

Simple wooden chairs that are as uncomfortable as they look sit next to the tables. No one

pittnews.com

wants to stay there for longer than necessary. A person could also get settled in the stuffed chairs, set up in circles either along the walls or in the center of the room, with a round table smack dab in the middle.

Lone students scan the sea of studiers, looking for an open seat and walking in circles to find a free chair. A student stares at their cell phone looking confused, thumbs poised over the screen, likely texting a friend to locate them.

Groups hopefully seek out one of the many large rectangular tables, but they are sorely mistaken if they think they’ll be able to find one, especially near a coveted outlet. Instead they are relegated to a circle of overstuffed leather chairs with a low round table at the center.

There is a scent of coffee — and desperation — in the air. Cup and Chaucer, one of the University coffee carts, is located on the ground floor. The smell of coffee wafts throughout the floor, masking the desperation as students consume caffeine and collaborate on homework. Frantic duos confront scary STEM courses while groups circle up, planning a presentation or working on another assignment.

A group of five sits diagonal to me, utterly silent, each member staring at screens. Various drinks are on the table, including coffee for those that need their caffeine even in the evening.

Laptops sit open on the wooden table and some students have phones in their hands. Only one of the group has a book out in front of her. She is leaning over it, intently taking in the text. She turns the page, starts reading and then flips back to the previous page. For all the benefits of technology, there’s nothing like having a book under your fingertips.

Toward the center of the room, a girl with long brown hair is settled into one of the many chairs.

She seems distracted, eager to focus on anything except her work. I don’t blame her. Midterms are rough. The girl picks up her phone, types something, and then puts it down. Before she begins

working again, her phone buzzes and she checks it again. Right before she sets it on the table, the girl Abby Katz STAFF ILLUSTRATOR

spots someone she knows a couple of feet away.

She yells a greeting and the person yells back.

They have a quick chat before separating. The girl returns to her phone instead of the work she should be doing.

Across the room, a girl with glasses stands in front of one of the many vertical, moving whiteboards. She pauses, dry erase marker in hand, before scribbling an equation on the board. A girl in a light wash denim jacket joins her. Glasses Girl brings her hand up to her face, then turns to say something to Denim Jacket. Denim Jacket takes the marker from Glasses Girl and erases some of the equation. She fills in the blank spaces. The two girls turn to each other and exclaim something happily, hands in the air.

My favorite type of person is the type that sits completely alone, either at a table or in one of the comfy chairs. I find it intriguing how they choose to be in a room full of people, yet they sit in soli-

tude. They sit there, typing away on their laptops or reading, but almost all of them have earbuds in or headphones cupped around their ears to drown out the chatter. They immerse themselves in a protective, productive bubble, much like myself while writing this.

While midterms are drawing to a close for some inhabitants of the library, others are just beginning to weather the wave of exams and papers due. But sitting on the ground floor, I can’t help but feel that everyone here is taking part in the struggle together, as one. Midterms might create chaos on the ground floor as of now, but students scattered among the stacks seem to project a single sentiment — we’ve got each other’s backs.

At least until finals in December, that is. After that, there’s no telling what the stress will do.

NCAA rule could bench Pitt center Ashwini Sivaganesh Editor-in-Chief

The Panthers had no problem taking shots in this game, as they outshot the Hurricanes 1716, with six shots on goal compared to the Hurricanes’ seven. So, while quantity wasn’t an issue, quality was.

Pitt struggled to get the ball past the

Pitt basketball center Peace Ilegomah may be forced to sit out this year because of an NCAA rule limiting the number of years student-athletes can spend in high school.

According to Sam Ferry, an assistant coach on the team, the NCAA has a rule that states players miss a year of eligibility if they go to college more than five years after starting high school.

Ferry said the athletic department filed a waiver with the NCAA about one month ago to reconsider the decision. The NCAA has not gotten back to them about when they will make a decision, he said.

As of right now — because Ilegomah spent five years prior to college in the United States and an additional year of high school in Nigeria — the NCAA says Ilegomah is not eligible to play this season. The organization is counting his last year in Nigeria as his first year of high school.

The 6-foot-9 Nigerian center completed ninth grade in his home country before moving to the United States. When he moved and started high school at Roselle Catholic High School in New Jersey, the school placed him in ninth grade after reviewing his academic standings and transcript from Nigeria.

After completing all four years of high school in New Jersey, he spent a postgraduate year at Montverde Academy in Florida before Pitt recruited him this season.

Ilegomah can play for Pitt after sitting on the bench for a year, but he cannot get that year back — which means he can only play a total of three years for the team as of now, unless the NCAA says otherwise.

Women’s Soccer, pg. 5 Hurricanes’ 6-foot-1 goalkeeper, redshirt junior Phallon Tullis-Joyce, who used her length to stifle Pitt shots near the posts and crossbar.

Redshirt first-year goalkeeper Amaia Pena received her second start of the year over Pitt’s usual goalie, redshirt first-year Katelyn McEachern.

The game was physical from the start. Both teams recorded two fouls each before 20 minutes had passed. Neither team was able to find the back of the net in the first half, as the two exchanged a series of unsuccessful shots.

Pitt’s best scoring chance came on a free kick from first-year midfielder Kendall Higgs in the 38th minute. After a diving effort, Tullis-Joyce got her fingertips on the ball, spoiling the Pan-

Preview, pg. 5 well in the bottom half of every major statistical category. Of 130 teams, Pitt comes in at 98th in points allowed per game, giving up an average of 31.4. The Panthers’ 111th-ranked pass defense continues to be one of the nation’s worst, allowing an average of 268.6 yards per game through the air.

Their opponent, Duke, boasts a defense that prides itself on harassing the opposing quarterback. The Blue Devils rank eighth nationally in sacks with 21 and second in interceptions with 12 — four of which they have returned for touchdowns.

On the offensive side of the ball, the Blue Devils do not present the same challenge as NC State. Sophomore quarterback Daniel Jones — who has thrown for 1,398 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions — leads an average passing game. The balanced rushing attack is split between senior Shaun Wilson with 506 yards and

thers’ chance at a lead.

Pena kept the Panthers in the game with a save of her own in the 42nd minute. Miami sophomore Kristina Fisher broke through the Pitt defense and rifled a shot on goal, which Pena misread. She stumbled the wrong way, but stuck her foot up to deflect the ball away, keeping the score at 0-0 entering halftime.

Things quickly got away from the Panthers in the second half. Miami sophomore Lauren Markwith scored with a header off a corner kick just three minutes in to give the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead.

The Panthers were unable to answer despite repeated attacks on goal from junior midfielder Alli Higgs, who paced the team with six shots.

Redshirt junior midfielder Ashley Moreira also took advantage of open opportunities and led the team with three shots on goal.

Pitt’s deficit grew to two goals when Miami scored in the 63rd minute off a crafty give-andgo between senior forwards Ronnie Johnson and Grace Rapp. Rapp delivered the ball upfield to Johnson, who tapped the ball into the box with the back of her heel and placed it precisely for Rapp to score.

The Panther defense didn’t learn from its mistakes, however, as the duo executed the exact same play for a goal in the 81st minute to put the Hurricanes up 3-0.

The final nine minutes of the game played out without scoring. When the final buzzer sounded, the Hurricanes secured their 3-0 win, while the Panthers recorded their sixth straight loss.

The Panthers will stay in the Florida for their next game Sunday, Oct. 22, as they look to pull off a major upset against No. 21 Florida State.

first-year Brittain Brown with 470 yards.

Duke sophomore cornerback Mark Gilbert, whose four interceptions are good for fifth best in college football, could pose a serious threat to DiNucci’s passing game.

Gilbert utilizes his aggressive man coverage and ball-hawking ability to target the best opposing receiver and make him obsolete.

For the Panthers, their offensive unit has been defined by its quarterback controversy. Head coach Pat Narduzzi has used two quarterbacks in every game this season. When redshirt senior quarterback Max Browne suffered a season-ending injury against Syracuse in week six, the job appeared to be solely in the hands of redshirt sophomore Ben DiNucci.

DiNucci performed admirably in his first game as full-fledged starter against No. 20 NC State, going 13 for 19 with 114 yards and a touchdown in the first half. He threw an interception to open the second half, but had put the team in a competitive position, down 21-14 with the ball and 2:32 remain-

ing in the third quarter.

Narduzzi then made the puzzling decision to thrust first-year quarterback Kenny Pickett into the game. Pickett went five for 13 with 61 yards, and NC State outscored the Panthers 14-3. Pitt trailed by 18 points by the time DiNucci reentered the game for the team’s final junk-time drive.

Narduzzi indicated in his press conference that the quarterback situation for this week will continue to be handled like any other position — if you perform poorly, you will be subbed out. DiNucci has been named the starter, but if he shows signs of struggle, you can expect to see Pickett enter the game at some point.

Whoever steps under center for the Panthers will not receive much assistance from Pitt’s 114th-ranked rushing attack, which averages a paltry 113.7 yards per game. The Panthers will have a tough time gaining yardage on the ground against Duke’s 16th-ranked rush defense — which gives up an average of 108 yards per game.

October 20, 2017

Ilegomah, pg. 5 Ilegomah was one of 13 new players from the 2017 recruiting class. While playing in Florida last year, he averaged 14 points and 12 rebounds per game. Pitt lacked height last season, and Ilegomah — along with first-year center Terrell Brown — was expected to fill that role.

“Peace has terrific size and strength with the potential to develop into an impact player on both ends of the floor,” Head coach Kevin Stallings said this past spring. “He has shown the ability to be a high volume rebounder and has good instincts on the defensive end of the floor, while playing for a couple of very good programs during his high school and prep year.”

Despite being outmatched on paper, the Panthers have fared well against the Blue Devils recently, blowing them out in the teams’ last two matchups — 31-13 on the road in 2015 and 56-14 at home in 2016.

But it looks as though that will change this year.

PREDICTION: Despite their best efforts, the Panthers simply lack talent on both sides of the ball. Against Duke’s stout defense, Pitt is unlikely to have much success driving down the field. Instead, they will need to generate big plays — likely to come from junior wide receiver Quadree Henderson — if they hope to emerge victorious.

Duke will employ its aggressive defensive scheme to force multiple turnovers and give their offense prime field position. Sporadic big plays from the offense and field goals from first-year kicker Alex Kessman will keep Pitt in the game, but won’t be enough for a Panther win.
