SGB HOSTS FAIR FOR SAFETY, WELLNESS

SILVER BELLS

Xinyu Lu

For The Pitt News Nicole Gormley was strolling out of the Cathedral when she saw people putting out fires on the Union lawn.

With her interest piqued, the first-year English writing and communications major walked over and allowed a demonstrator to show her how to pick up an extinguisher, aim it at the base of the controlled flame and then sweep back and forth to put it out.

“I think the University always gives students opportunities to learn how to live a healthy life.

I’ve never used the fire extinguisher before, but now I’ve learned how to operate it safely,” she said.

Gormley was able to accomplish this at the 26th Safety and Wellness Fair. The Fair — hosted every year by the Student Government Board — was held Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. A disc jockey blasted pop music while the 200 students in attendance collected cookies, T-shirts and flyers from more than 50 organizations including Pitt’s Active Minds, the University Counseling Center and Allegheny County Health Department.

SGB Board member Ian Callahan was present at the event to oversee organization tabling.

He said SGB changed the name of the event this year from “Safety Fair” to “Safety and Wellness Fair” in order to better represent the diverse body of organizations available to students concerned about safety and general health in different areas such as transportation and housing.

“There are plenty of resources for Pitt students, and a lot of safety aspects. So we want to help people be aware of what is out there for them,” he said.

Students were also able to stop by Tyco SimplexGrinnell’s table, where they could learn

SWEET SUCCESS: DONUT DASH EXCEEDS $500,000 GOAL Bailey Frisco

For The Pitt News

Fried dough and philanthropy were on people’s minds this weekend in Schenley Plaza.

Crowds of people dressed in donut costumes and donut headbands — even a man wearing a sparkly silver dress adorned with donuts — packed into the plaza Sunday morning for the ninth annual Donut Dash. The event was hosted

by Carnegie Mellon’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

More than 1,400 participants lined up under an arch to run a one-mile course along Schenley Drive and around Schenley Plaza, stopping to eat a half dozen donuts before running the course one more time. Registration began at 9 a.m. for the two divisions of the race — one for competitive runners that started at 11 a.m., and one for See Safety Fair on page 2 casual walkers and joggers that began a little after

11:30 a.m.

The morning began with a few words from Farnam Jahanian, the interim president of Carnegie Mellon, and Pitt Chancellor Patrick Gallagher. Jahanian thanked all those who made the event possible — including People’s Natural Gas, the event’s main sponsor — and praised CMU and Pitt’s ability to put the event together.

“We are delighted to be partnering with the University of Pittsburgh, for this is yet another example of how the universities work so well together,” Jahanian said.

The brothers of the SAE fraternity at Carnegie Mellon started using the Donut Dash to raise money for the Live Like Lou Center — a fund for ALS Research at Pitt’s Brain Institute — after their alumni advisor, Bob Dax, was diagnosed with the disease in 2014. Dax lost his battle with ALS — a progressive neurodegenerative disease that

affects brain and spinal cord nerve cells — and passed away in May 2017.

The fraternity pledged to raise $500,000 in five years, and they exceeded their mark this year — one year earlier than anticipated. They raised $200,000 this year alone, bringing their total donation of four years to $580,000.

Kevin Wainczak, a CMU senior studying cognitive science and software engineering and the co-chair of the Donut Dash for SAE, was very proud of the money raised. He said the previous co-chairs created a momentum that allowed the fraternity to reach their goal.

“Reaching $200,000 raised was a goal that felt unreachable for so long, and the moment we realized we got it I was completely in awe,” Wainczak said. “We’re still in disbelief, but so incredibly proud, of what we have been able to achieve.”

how to use a fire extinguisher to put out a flame.

The company is contracted by Pitt to inspect campus fire alarms, extinguishers and smoke detectors.

Nicolas Leo, a sophomore computer science major, heard about the fair through Twitter and went to check out all the safety organizations present — and to hold a fire extinguisher for the first time. He said the fair was a “more practical approach” to educating students about safety on campus.

“Yeah, I’ve never used [a fire extinguisher] before and probably should know,” he said.

Kenneth Wahrenberger, a junior religious studies and communications major, came to the fair with his group, Bike Collective, to talk with other students about his organization.

“It’s a beautiful afternoon, and we figured why not take any chance we could to promote safe biking in Pittsburgh,” he said.

Wahrenberger said any bike rider’s number one concern when it comes to safety is to have

a properly working bike and the proper safety equipment to go with it.

“Very few people wear helmets or use bike lights, especially at night, and we want to change that. As someone who’s been in a lot of accidents, that’s extremely important to me,” he said.

Julia Lam, a sophomore studio arts major and vice president of Pitt’s chapter of Active Minds — a mental health advocacy organization — represented her group at the fair. She gave out pamphlets and booklets, instructing students on how to speak with friends who may be having suicidal thoughts and telling people how to spot suicidal tendencies.

“We are mostly here because we are helping promote safety in terms of getting resources and also teach people how to support their friends,” she said.

Lillian Cannon, a junior majoring in communications and nonprofit management, left the fair clutching flyers from several different organizations.

“They do a good job promoting this event every year and I really liked [this one],” she said.

Donut Dash, pg. 1 Neil and Suzanne Alexander created Live Like Lou — the foundation that will receive these earnings — in 2011 after Neil was diagnosed with ALS, commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease. They started the center to raise awareness for the disease and support research targeted at finding a cure.

The Alexanders pledged to raise $2.5 million — of which SAE committed to raise $500,000 — over a five-year span to make the center a reality, and Pitt matched this pledge to create a total of $5 million for the initial funding commitment.

According to Drew Fitzmorris, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering and the president of SAE, Live Like Lou will be dissolving after this year, now that their $2.5 million pledge is completed.

Erica Sorg, a speech pathologist who works with people who have ALS, participated in the competitive race.

“I saw the flyer at Dunkin’ Donuts, picking up donuts, so I figured why not try running,”

October 2, 2017

Sorg said.

Following the completion of the competitive and casual races, the staff presented a giant check to Live Life Lou Center to show how much money they raised that year.

The event then moved on to a donut eating competition before wrapping up with a few short memorial remarks for the fraternity’s alumni advisor, Dax. “[Dax] got us through a lot of low points and was just a great guy,” Fitzmorris said.

In the five years before the proceeds of the Donut Dash went to Live Like Lou, the funds were donated to the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Now that Live Like Lou is dissolving, the fraternity needs to find another charity to donate to.

“We need to talk as an organization as to whether or not we want to continue to donate to ALS research or whether or not we want to start on a new charity, but this is the last year we are able to donate to Live Like Lou,” Fitzmorris said. “Otherwise we would love to donate to them.”

Opinions column

from the editorial board

Now’s the time for redistricting reform After nearly six years, Pennsylvania residents dissatisfied with the current scheme of representation for the commonwealth in the House may finally get some relief.

A lawsuit from the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, originally filed in June, received new attention last week as a Republican staffer in the state legislature came forward in opposition to the League’s efforts. The case, which is currently being litigated in the Commonwealth court, seeks to label the state’s map of districts for the House of Representatives, updated in 2011, as unconstitutional.

Republicans in the state legislature and former Republican governor Tom Corbett passed the current map, contributing to what many saw as a significant GOP advantage. And the party isn’t looking to lose its upper hand.

In an interview with PennLive last week, Republican staffer Drew Compton presented the party’s best defense against the suit — its “staleness.”

“Serious concerns exist concerning the disenfranchisement of 12 million Pennsylvania voters if any court sides with the plaintiffs and changes the rules six years after the plan was properly passed,” Compton said.

But if this is the best defense Republicans can muster, they may as well give up on stopping redistricting reform now. Mathematical evidence from Pitt and Carnegie Mellon researchers released in February demonstrated the statistical impossibility that legislators could have drawn the current districts without politi-

pittnews.com

cal bias. Thus, the Republican plan is likely to be found as an unconstitutional instance of gerrymandering — manipulating borders between districts to give one political party an unfair advantage.

It’s hard to dispute that Pennsylvania has a gerrymandering problem — in a May report, New York’s Brennan Center for Justice rated the commonwealth among the three worst gerrymandered states. So even if the League of Women Voter’s lawsuit is arriving in court several years later than it should have, it’s still important to work toward redistricting reform in order to rehabilitate the state’s reputation.

And while any potential changes to districts in the commonwealth coming out of the suit would only affect the outcomes of the 2018 and 2020 federal elections at most, it’s contradictory to write off two elections as inconsequential and at the same time expect civic engagement in elections.

We need to treat the integrity of every election in our commonwealth as vital to the continued health of our democracy.

Republicans who cynically write off redistricting reform in 2017 as too little, too late are either missing the point entirely or purposefully attempting to maintain their undemocratic upper hand in the crucial 2018 and 2020 federal elections. If they’re truly committed to the civic engagement of Pennsylvania voters, they shouldn’t resist attempts to right redistricting wrongs.

CIA CONSTRICTS DEBATES AT HARVARD Maggie Durwald For The Pitt News

When Edward Snowden appeared via internet connection for a speech in the William Pitt Union this February, students reacted to the presence of the controversial figure, best known for leaking documents from the CIA, with both curiosity and distrust. But while Pitt allowed the event to go forward, students at Harvard weren’t as lucky last month.

Harvard’s 2017-2018 list of Visiting Fellows, who spend a year doing research and occasionally speaking at the university, includes controversial figures such as former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. The list also formerly boasted Chelsea Manning — a transgender woman best known for passing off more than 700,000 classified military documents to WikiLeaks — as the Kennedy School’s “first transgender Fellow.”

CIA operatives immediately voiced their distaste at Manning’s inclusion on the list. Former Director Michael Morell resigned from his position as a senior fellow at Harvard in protest, and current Director Mike Pompeo cancelled a speech at the school he was scheduled to make that same week.

“Ms. Manning betrayed her country and was found guilty of 17 serious crimes for leaking classified information to Wikileaks,” Pompeo said in a letter to Harvard’s administration. “My conscience and duty to the men and women of the [CIA] will not permit me to betray their trust by appearing to support Harvard’s decision with my appearance at tonight’s event.”

October 2, 2017

In response to the CIA’s displeasure, Harvard quickly revoked its Fellowship offer to Manning.

Morell and Pompeo have every right to their own disgust. But it was wrong for them to voice disgust as public figures linked irrevocably to an arm of the federal government. Even though they’re no longer government employees, their opinions are not simply those of private citizens — the actions of these former high ranking officials affect the stance of the national government, which has no business aligning itself with or against a private institution’s speaker. Since when is it Harvard’s job to place PR over intellectual diversity — or to please the federal government, for that matter?

The CIA should have no say in whether or not the speakers are morally representative of the country, and it most definitely should not be so easily able to influence university decisions.

What’s more, former CIA Director David Petraeus pleaded guilty in 2015 to leaking classified government information to his biographer and lying about it. Yet, he remains to this day a senior Fellow at Harvard’s Kennedy School, and the CIA has not protested his presence as a Fellow in any way.

By specifically choosing to condemn Manning and Harvard, the CIA thwarted Harvard’s role as a social educator. There’s nothing wrong with allowing Manning to speak of her experiences with the government — she tells a story that differs from that of Pompeo, and there’s nothing wrong with hearing both sides to the story.

And Harvard’s response to CIA pressure was See Durwald on page 4

Durwald, pg. 3 just as hypocritical. The school’s almost immediate, skittish backtracking is as concerning as the CIA’s reaction. Kennedy School Dean Douglas Elmendorf released a statement Sept.

15 in which he ignored students’ desire to hear Manning’s point of view and essentially caved to pressure from members of the national security community and the CIA. “I now think that designating Chelsea Manning as a Visiting Fellow was a mistake, for which I accept responsibility,” Elmendorf said.

“But I see more clearly now that many people view that title as an honorific, so we should weigh that consideration when offering invitations.”

Regardless of how people outside the academic sphere saw Manning’s title of Visiting Fellow, Harvard has a duty to its students to provide speakers who can present an alternative to the story the government wants us to hear.

Several student groups at the university wrote and cosigned a letter to the editor in the Harvard Crimson to that effect, expressing “deep dissatisfaction” with the school’s actions.

Conservative thinkers on campus should also find Manning’s removal from Harvard’s academic community concerning. The removal

of Chelsea Manning from her official position as Visiting Fellow is little different from the creation of “safe spaces,” where students are free from ideals that might clash with their own — something most conservatives in government oppose.

What kind of conversations would Manning’s Fellowship visit have produced? We’ll never know. Harvard students were robbed of the chance Pitt students got this February to learn from a controversial leaker like Manning.

Thanks to aggressive moves by former CIA employees with the power of the agency behind them, an opportunity for dialogue was turned into a show of pettishness both by the government and the institution that allowed itself to be swayed by government opinion.

Following her removal, Manning emphasized this perversion of intellectual freedom.

“This is what the military/police/intel state looks like,” she tweeted. “The CIA determines what is and is not taught at Harvard.”

Manning’s tweet rings with an eerie truth — and there lies the CIA’s greatest misstep. In punishing Harvard so publicly for its choice in Fellows, it has appointed itself the moral and educational overseer of the United States. And that’s a role the agency is not entitled to take.

PANTHER OFFENSE BOLSTERS BROWNE Abbot Zuk | Staff Writer It took until the last day of September for the Pitt Panthers to finally shake their losing streak and defeat the Rice Owls. This was only their second win of the season and their first since Sept.

2.

Many marquee players did their part in the Panthers’ success Saturday afternoon — particularly redshirt senior Max Browne, who had arguably the best game of his collegiate career. But when head coach Pat Narduzzi and Browne are asked about the team’s success, they won’t have to look further than a unit that often goes overlooked — the offensive line.

Pitt’s offense opted to use a balanced approach to attack Rice’s defense and amassed 34 total pass attempts and 33 rushing attempts. The run-blocking wasn’t overwhelming, but with the way Pitt moved the ball through the air, it didn’t have to be.

Of the 34 quarterback passing attempts, 32 belonged to Browne. Almost every time the Panthers ran a pass play, the line identified their assigned blitzer and executed their assignment to perfection.

This provided Browne with ample time to go through his progressions, make his reads and find open receivers. Browne completed 88 percent of his passes to 10 different targets for more than 400 yards and four touchdowns.

Those stats would have been impossible without the performance from the five guys in front of Browne. And though the whole line played well, redshirt junior Brian O’Neill stood out.

Most offensive linemen are accustomed to the less glamorous nature of the position, which stems from the evaluation of the line as a whole regardless of individual exploits. However, O’Neill is an anomaly. O’Neill — the 2016 Piesman winner — is no stranger to the spotlight, and the game against Rice was no different.

O’Neill was highlighted Saturday by the ACC Network broadcast team for his invigorating athleticism, especially for a man of his stature — a whopping 6-foot-6 and 305 pounds. He was tasked with lining up across from the Owls’ premier pass rusher — senior defensive end Brian Womac.

Before this game, Rice was among the top 15 teams in the nation in total sacks with 13, and fourth in the nation in sack yards with 107 in four games. The Owls’ sack success is attributed to Womac. He entered the game with four of the team’s 13 sacks and See Zuk on page 6

PANTHERS DOMINATE PITCH, COURT, TRAIL

Brandon Glass Staff Writer

For Pitt’s varsity athletics, the weekend ended with results ranging from historic to dismal.

The men’s soccer team set the tone going into the weekend on Friday night, recording the team’s first ACC win since joining the conference in 2013. While cross country had standout performances and women’s volleyball won both of its matches 3-0, the women’s soccer team missed the mark.

Men’s Cross Country The men’s cross country team kicked off the weekend’s action Friday as they traveled to Notre Dame, Indiana, for the Notre Dame/Joe Piane Invitational.

In the Men’s 5 Mile Blue, Pitt junior Ryan Hughes placed 29th with a time of 24:23. Hughes was the only Panther to finish in the top 50. The men finished 18th out of 21 teams.

Sophomore Nick Wolk broke the top five in the Men’s 5

October 2, 2017

Mile Open with his fourth place performance of 25:18. In the same event, sophomore Drew Glick finished 34th with a time of 27:59.

The Panthers next meet is the Pre-National Invitational in Louisville, Kentucky, Oct. 14.

Women’s Cross Country The women’s cross country team’s first meet of the weekend began Friday in Notre Dame, Indiana, at the same invitational as the men’s cross country team.

In the Women’s 5k Blue, Pitt junior Gillian Schriever and senior Kelly Hayes were the only Panthers to crack the top 50.

Schriever and Hayes came in 48th and 49th, respectively. Although they both finished with a time of 17:17, Schriever was just a step ahead. As a team, the Panthers finished 15th out of 20 teams.

In the Women’s 5k Open, the individual counterpart to See Weekend Recap on page 6

seven tackles for loss — the most of any player on the Owls’ defense.

Browne was sacked only three times in Saturday’s game. One sack was a product of Browne holding onto the ball for too long, and another was on a broken play where Browne tried to escape the pocket. The third was flat-out by Womac — his only tackle of the game.

If it weren’t for his offensive line, Browne could have seen the ground much more. Aside from O’Neill’s performance, the offense performed incredibly overall.

They set major momentum by scoring first on only three plays and making three touchdowns in the first quarter alone.

Though they only rushed for a measly 69 yards — a number that could bear to be improved — they still managed clean catches and first downs.

Performances like these from the offensive line, regardless of the opponent’s lack of credibility playing major programs, will do wonders for Browne and the rest of the offenses’ psyche, and provide the Panthers the confidence they need for the remainder of their ACC Coastal Division matchups.

the team race, three Panthers finished in the top 20. Pitt senior Emily Loeffelholz finished in 12th with a time of 18:39, while first-year student Mikaela Vlasic and senior Rebecca Peters finished two spots apart at 16th and 18th, with times of 18:58 and 18:59, respectively.

Some of the Panthers then traveled to Gibsonia to compete in the Chatham Eden Hall Invitational 6k on Saturday, Sept. 30.

Pitt’s second meet of the weekend went markedly better. Of the women running, five Panthers finished in the top 10. Pitt junior Emily Phillips finished third overall, crossing the line at 24:34. Junior Stephanie Lednak, sophomore Sarah Frick and junior Natalie Hamilton placed sixth (25:03), seventh (25:03) and eighth (25:07), respectively. First-year Ally Brunton was the last Panther to finish in the top ten at 10th with a time of 25:14.

With all of these performances combined, Pitt placed first out of five teams at the invitational.

The Panthers will stay in the area to take part in the CMU Invitational Saturday, Oct. 7, in Schenley Park.

Men’s Soccer The men’s soccer team built on Tuesday’s history-making domination of West Virginia

by obtaining a paramount success Friday night.

The Panthers (5-5, 1-3 ACC) recorded their first ACC win with the 2-1 defeat of No. 21 Syracuse (5-4-2, 0-3-1 ACC) at Ambrose Urbanic Field.

Pitt first-year forwards Edward Kizza and Colin Brezniak led the way with scoring. Kizza scored the first goal of the match on a strike to the right corner in the 30th minute. With this goal, he recorded his fourth of the year. Brezniak’s third goal of the year came late in the 79th minute off an assist from sophomore forward Josh Coan.

Syracuse scored its lone goal of the night with three minutes left of play, but by that point, the match was out of reach.

The Panthers take a break from ACC play and travel to New York City Oct. 3, to take on the Columbia Lions.

Women’s Volleyball The Pitt women’s volleyball team (11-4, 3-0 ACC) welcomed Virginia (4-11, 0-4 ACC) to the Fitzgerald Field House on Friday for its first of two ACC matches of the weekend. The Panthers rolled through the Cavaliers, winning 3-0.

Pitt’s offense had a solid first-game performance. The Panthers used an impressive 52 kills and 16 Cavalier errors to control the match. Pitt sophomore Nika Markovic and redshirt sophomore Stephanie Williams led the way for the Panthers with 17 and 15 kills, respectively.

Pitt continued their success on Sunday, cruising to a 3-0 defeat of Virginia Tech (7-8, 1-3 ACC). The Panthers offense was solid again with 40 kills, capitalizing on a whopping 25 Hokie errors. Williams and Markovic continued their strong play with 11 and 10 kills, respectively.

The Panthers will travel to Tallahassee, Florida, to take on ACC foe Florida State Friday, Oct. 6.

Women’s Soccer The Pitt women’s soccer team (3-6-3, 0-3-1 ACC) faced off against No. 15 Virginia (7-3-2, 2-1-1 ACC) at Ambrose Urbanic Field Sunday, Oct. 1. In an eclipsing shutout, Virginia defeated Pitt, 7-0.

Virginia dominated with a fast start, scoring four goals within 26 minutes. Both teams favored physical play in the later part of the half, resulting in two yellow cards for the Panthers and one for the Cavaliers.

Virginia continued to control the game in the second. The Cavaliers’ third goal came off a penalty kick resulting from the Panthers’ third yellow card of the match.

The Panthers’ offense was bleak, firing off just six shots while not registering a single corner kick to the Cavaliers’ 19 shots and 8 corner kicks.

The Panthers’ next game is Thursday, Oct. 5, at Ambrose Urbanic Field against in-conference adversary Syracuse.
