PITT NAMES FOUR DEAN CANDIDATES Dale Shoemaker News Editor

P itt will begin introducing and interviewing candidates today for the open vice provost and dean of students position.

Pitt is currently considering eight candidates for the job, and four of them will be on campus this week for interviews and public meetings. Students, professors and other Pitt staff can attend the four open meetings, which begin today and end Friday, according to an email Vice Provost Juan Manfredi sent to members of the Pitt staff. The search committee will lead the open meetings, which Manfredi heads.

University spokesperson Ken Service said Pitt’s search committee plans to make its recommendations for finalists to Provost Patricia Beeson next week.

The dean of students position has been open since Chancellor Patrick Gallagher promoted Kathy Humphrey, who was the former dean, to senior vice chancellor and chief of staff last January. Kenyon Bonner, former associate dean and director of student life, is filling the role in the interim.

Bonner is also a candidate for the position, but was out of his office Monday and unavailable for comment.

The four candidates on campus this

week — Bonner, Joanne Vogel, William Stackman and Cara Appel-Silbaugh — will all meet privately with Student Affairs staff before their public meetings, according to Manfredi’s email. Service did not respond to a question asking when the search committee would name the other four candidates or announce public meetings for them.

Bonner’s public meeting is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in the University Club.

On Monday evening, Pitt football learned that a local high school star would be staying home.

Central Catholic High School’s Damar Hamlin committed to the University of Pittsburgh via an announcement on KDKA. Hamlin is a 6-foot-1, 179-pound defensive back. He is a consensus fourstar recruit across Rivals, ESPN and 247 Sports, and those sites rank him the 13th, seventh and 14th best defensive back nationwide, respectively. All three sites consider him one of the 150 best recruits in the country.

Numerous top-flight football programs courted the standout defensive back, who received interest from nearly 50 schools, including Clemson University, University of Miami, University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Notre Dame and Stanford University.

On June 3, Hamlin tweeted that he had narrowed his list down to 10 schools, and on Dec. 24, announced a final three of Pitt, Penn State and Ohio State University.

As all three of those schools’ hats rested on the table of the KDKA studio desk, Hamlin paused for some thank yous before the decision.

“First I would like to thank God, because without him, this wouldn’t be possible,” Hamlin said on the broadcast. “I See Commitment on page 6

GRAFFITI ARTIST CAUGHT Zoë Hannah

Assistant News Editor City police’s graffiti squad arrested a Carnegie Mellon University student Monday for racking up an alleged $114,030 in damages during a cross-city graffiti spree.

Police charged Max Emiliano Gonzales, who is pursuing a bachelor in fine arts, with 58 counts of criminal mischief relating to defacement of city and private property at 58 separate locations, according to a police report.

According to a press release from the Department of Public Safety, Gonzales was one of the graffiti squad’s mostwanted offenders.

pittnews.com

The graffiti tags, which include “GEMS,” “BTK,” “312” and a wizard character, appear on electrical boxes, dumpsters and buildings in South Oakland, Shadyside, the East End and other neighborhoods.

Police determined that the “GEMS” tag represented Gonzales’ initials backwards and “312” represented Gonzales’ area code from his hometown in Illinois, according to the report. Police also noted that “BTK” stands for Gonzales’ graffiti crew, “Born to Krush,” also known as “Born to Kill,” and “Blood, Terror and Karate.”

Opinions column

from the editorial board

World Hijab Day unites Muslims and non-Muslims “Beautiful, confident and empowered” is the motto for World Hijab Day. Across the globe today, Muslim women in more than 140 countries are teaching others what beauty, confidence and empowerment mean to Muslim women who wear the hijab.

Nazma Khan created World Hijab day in 2013 after she faced ridicule for wearing her hijab in college after 9/11.

“I figured the only way to end this discrimination would be to ask my fellow sisters to experience wearing the hijab for themselves,” Khan said on the day’s website.

In recent years, anti-Muslim sentiment has loomed over our country and has masked the voices of many practicing Muslims who wish only to dispel misconceptions of Islam.

Unfortunately, people form snap judgments about women who wear hijabs. World Hijab Day gives these women the opportunity to educate their communities about their choice and the problems they face.

Today, millions of people are participating in World Hijab Day in the workplace, with friends and at universities. Pitt’s Muslim Students’ Association is hosting a World Hijab Day event in Towers Lobby, even encouraging students to borrow hijabs for a day if they’re interested.

Even if we do not directly participate in World Hijab Day, we should learn from the day’s sentiments of empathy and acceptance.

Since 9/11, the hijab has garnered a negative connotation and permeated popular discourse as a symbol of the Muslim woman’s plight. But, to many Muslim women, it’s a symbol of modesty and religious freedoms — a combination of both Islamic and American ideals.

Today, many people may also judge women who wear hijabs for being dressed so conservatively. With campaigns like the Free

pittnews.com

the Nipple movement and our constant portrayals of scantily clad women on magazine covers, people may dismiss hijabi women as being oppressed because of western culture’s growing acceptance of nudity.

According to Khan, many people make the inaccurate assumption that women only choose to wear hijabs out of insistence by their father or a radical family member. In reality, the hijab brings a sense of empowerment, not subjugation, to many hijabi women.

Joe Galvez, a Catholic from the Philippines, wore a hijab for a full day and later told the International Business Times about the liberation she felt.

Galvez told the International Business Times, “It’s commonly believed that wearing a veil is a form of sexual discrimination. I didn’t find it to be so. To my surprise, the veil was strangely liberating — an unapologetic form of self-expression.”

World Hijab Day gives women who wear hijabs the opportunity to educate their communities about what the hijab represents and also helps create solidarity between Muslims and non-Muslims.

By demystifying the hijab, men and women can look past the hijab and focus more on the woman wearing it. Anyone can wear a hijab, and World Hijab Day encourages non-Muslims to try it and empathize with women who wear hijabs and the bigotry many face because of this choice.

World Hijab Day is an opportunity for women who wear hijabs to educate nonMuslims about the struggles that many Muslim women face at the hands of prejudice.

The day is an opportunity for people to ask hijabi women questions, instead of speaking for them and placing a victim narrative on them — which is always something worth celebrating.

VIEW BODY SPIRITUALLY, NOT AESTHETICALLY Jaime Veins Columnist

“Traveling and Tomhobbitry” is a weekly column dedicated to uncovering the cultural differences and lifestyles of New Zealand and the Pacific Islands in the context of American culture.

Still shaking off jet-lag, I’ve already noticed lifestyle differences between New Zealand and the United States.

I’m taking a course analyzing the gradation surrounding body perceptions in Pacific cultures, titled “Pacific Bodies,” through the University of Otago. During our first class, the teacher told us that we would be playing what I assumed to be a classic ice breaker.

She asked us to state our name, our course of study and how we would describe our bodies.

No one has ever asked me to talk about my body in a formal setting. I war surprised and a little uncomfortable. I had no idea what to say, so I waited and listened to other people’s responses.

A girl from New Zealand raised her hand and said she was just grateful that she had a body and that it works — another surprise to me.

Her response was something that, at least in American culture, we never think about — a completely fundamental aspect of our daily lives that we take for granted.

Our culture discourages us from being satisfied with our bodies through fashion, cosmetics, fitness, cleanses and medicine.

Our obsession with appearances has reached a point that we can’t appreciate what our bodies are, what they can do and the fact that, even if they’re not perfect, they’re functioning — and sometimes that

February 2, 2016

needs to be enough.

After contemplating her answer for a moment, I listened to another student say that their body is central to how they view and interact with the world. I could only imagine the potential answers if we had been asked to consider our bodies in an American university classroom.

It’s amazing to see the consideration Pacific cultures have for their bodies.

They don’t prioritize aesthetic properties, whereas my outlook for my body is geared toward how it looks — and how I can change it.

In America, we’re encouraged to look at our bodies as a reflection of ourselves — but only physically. We look at a person’s stubby, uneven nails and think “they need a manicure,” rather than consider the anxiety or stress behind the bite marks. We see hands covered in dirt and see it as unhygienic, rather than as a sign of hard work and responsibility.

Any day of the week, you can look in a magazine or on a Hollywood news channel and notice people criticize a different celebrity for slight weight gain or provide tips and praise for having the “perfect beach bod.” Amanda Seyfried has frequently discussed body issues in media on multiple occasions, once telling Elle U.K. that she’s “constantly aware of her body.”

She doesn’t have to look like a supermodel or have abs, she said, but because we have all been designed to want these things, even celebrities in the spotlight are victims, too.

BEE JOINS LATE-NIGHT, STEWART CLUB

Matt Maielli Staff Writer

Samantha Bee may become the first woman in late-night television this week, but she’s also extending the genre’s latest trend — emulating Jon Stewart.

While the state of late-night talk shows is unsurprising, what is surprising is that almost half of all late night talk shows lead back to one man: Stewart. He left a void in comedy and journalism with his departure from “The Daily Show,” but his influence on television is more apparent than ever.

The next “Daily Show” alumna to head an individual project — while simultaneously “breaking up the boys” club of latenight television — is Bee’s “Full Frontal,” which airs on TBS Feb. 8. As the only current female late-night host, Bee will continue a lasting tradition of “Daily Show” alumni by borrowing the field-piece format she perfected on “The Daily Show.”

Bee joins a genre saturated with “Daily Show” alums who have moved on to other curators of late-night television. From format to material, hosts John Oliver, Larry Wilmore and Stephen Colbert are drawing inspiration from their time on Stew-

art’s show.

The British Invasion “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” reminds people of Stewart, perhaps because Oliver went from correspondent to host briefly last summer while Stewart filmed his directorial debut “Rosewater.”

As perhaps Stewart’s most effective heir, media outlets have coined the phrase “The John Oliver Effect” to describe a subject’s rising popularity or an issue’s solution after airing on “Last Week Tonight.”

By confronting the American population, in an often obscenity-laced tirade, about international stories and frustratingly solvable yet mundane domestic issues — such as net neutrality, U.S. territories and chicken farmers — “Last Week Tonight” has streamlined the “satirical journalism” format the Stewart-era “The Daily Show” molded in 1999.

This reputation, facilitated by HBO’s FCC-exempt private subscription system, results in Oliver’s now-familiar breakdown of complicated issues into comedic but didactic essay-sized segments, distinct from any other late-night show on television that talks politics.

The Brother

After a year of “The Nightly Show,” Wilmore has found his niche and thrives in it. “The Nightly Show” arrived alongside Stewart’s “Daily Show” exit, and rose during America’s recent racial tensions.

As a result, Wilmore’s show resembles an extension of Stewart’s oft-recorded frustration with systemic racism.

Wilmore has used his platform as a black host to discuss many injustices and mirror public outrage, usually over racial issues, including a piece last week in which physicist poster boy Neil deGrasse Tyson slammed rapper and flat Earth truther B.o.B. Perhaps because of controversial events like this rapper-physicist smackdown, he has filled the void of television’s “wise angry old man” that Stewart left.

The “wise” moniker may seem overly generous, but then you may remember that “The Nightly Show” basically predicted the #OscarsSoWhite backlash with their piece, “A Preview of Upcoming Black Oscar Snubs,” which aired the night before the Academy announced the nominees.

LASER TURNS IN STUNNING DEBUT Jack Trainor Culture Editor

Toronto indie-rock supergroup Broken Social Scene’s four-year hiatus hasn’t kept its 20-plus members quiet. Now, it’s singer Lisa Lobsinger’s turn to break out.

Since the band quietly dissolved after 2010’s brilliant “Forgiveness Rock Record,” many of the band’s 20-plus members have redefined themselves through other projects and solo ventures — but to varying success.

Frontman Kevin Drew and singer Feist are the most popular examples, whose solo careers have generally paralleled Broken Social Scene’s critical achievements. Bassist and guitarist Brendan Canning has also released a couple independent records, including one under the “Broken Social Scene Presents” moniker.

Broken Social Scene founders Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw’s band Metric and Evan Cranley’s Stars have both accrued extensive catalogues since 2010, but neither could quite match Broken Social Scene’s consistent critical acclaim.

Lobsinger, along with fellow Canadian bandmates Paul Pfisterer and Marty Kinack, has her foot in a web of different projects, but Laser’s electro-pop debut “Night Driver” is the most interesting.

Layered with synthesized beats and

Pitt officially began its search for a new dean in October after it posted an opening for the job online.

Lobsinger’s swooning, pristine voice, the record confidently captures the more intimate electronic side of “Forgiveness Rock Record.”

Lobsinger’s voice is the driving force behind each track — much as it was for some of Broken Social Scene’s more tender, catchy songs, such as “All to All” and “Anthems for a 17-YearOld Girl.”

“I am not tired I am just so bored / Of listening to you s n o r e ,” Lobsinger teases on o p e n ing track “Leaving It Too L a t e ,” w hich showcases her arresting ability to both tickle and soothe. “Night Driver” harbors the emotional ups and downs of an urban break-up record. Some of the words come like an ear nibble and others a sorrowful truth, such as, “It is time for one of us to move on / So when you wake up I will be gone.”

As internally chaotic and lengthy as Broken Social Scene records go — each coming in at about 14 tracks — “Night Driver” contains a modest seven. It demands several listens in a single sitting, regardless of relationship status.

This is mostly because the lyrics don’t bog down the most contemplative and emotional songs, lifted up instead by Lobsinger’s layered vocal harmonies and disco-pop synthesizers.

Groovy isn’t a word commonly used for break-up albums, but it’s not out of place here.

Laser released three singles before dropping the record Jan. 29, including “Leaving It Too Late,” “Do We All Feel It” and “Disconnect,” which is the best of the three and the record’s anchor as a strikingly honest song

Groovy isn’t a word commonly used for break-up albums, but it’s not out of place here.

Two Pitt students, Student Government Board President Nasreen Harun and Graduate and Professional Student Government President Joseph Kozak, serve on the search committee to represent the student body in the private meetings, Service said.

According to the job description for the position, the vice provost and dean of students oversees the division of student affairs and “plays a pivotal and supportive role in the achievement of the University’s broader educational goals.”

In that role, the vice provost and dean of students coordinate various offices including the Offices of Student Affairs and Residence Life, as well as the University Counseling Center and Student Health Service.

Graffiti, pg. 2 tagged an East End Brewing Company box truck with “GEMS” and “BTK,” which stands for Born to Krush, according to a press release. An employee alerted the police, informing them that Gonzales is a CMU art student, according to the report.

The police report stated Gonzales’ former professor told detectives he found spray paint and a graffiti sketchbook — with “GEMS” and “BTK” in it — in Gonzales’ backpack two years ago when he left the backpack in class.

According to the report, detectives also found Gonzales’ Facebook profile, which featured “numerous [pictures] of

February 2, 2016

about the uncertainty of a crumbling relationship.

“Disconnect” is also the most repetitive song on “Night Driver,” repeating nearly the same verse twice between chorus three-peats and a steady beat. Its bouncy and light tone builds for three minutes, but never dulls behind slight guitar chirps and desperate lyrics struggling to find sense in an increasingly worse situation — “Where did we go? Seems like there’s no regret / Do we let it go or do we protect it?”

Its climax is stellar, bursting like a supernova, as Lobsinger’s voice swells and then suddenly fades with a couple rattling cymbals before popping back in and out as the song slowly closes over the final minute. Despite it feeling like the lifespan of a fight that finally kills a long-plagued relationship — residual encounters and all — it is gorgeous.

The same can be said for all of “Night Driver,” but not for every Broken Social Scene offshoot. Feist’s collaboration with metal outfit Mastodon for example, “Feistodon,” shows it’s not always easy for artists to find fresh sounds.

Lobsinger has carved out her turf in Laser. Whether “Night Driver” is the first of many records or not, it introduces Laser as one of the Toronto indie-rock scene’s most exciting new artists. art and graffiti art,” including the “BTK” tag. Gonzales appears to have since deleted the pictures.

Detectives interviewed Gonzales Jan. 20, questioning him and showing him photographs of the graffiti tags, according to the report.

Gonzales then confirmed the photos were of his work, signed a statement admitting to committing the crime and agreed to cooperate with the police investigation, according to the arrest papers.

Gonzales, who is originally from Willowbrook, Illinois, did not respond to a phone call or an email requesting comment.

Gonzales is awaiting a preliminary hearing set for 8 a.m. Feb. 11.

“I felt like I could accomplish everything I wanted to accomplish [at Pitt] academically and on the field,” Hamlin told KDKA. “Academically, I can be the businessman I want to be. And athletically, I bought into coach [Pat] Narduzzi’s plan, and I want to get my city back where it should be.”

Hamlin’s announcement was also preceded by some more good news for the Panthers, as former Penn State commit and Clairton High School wide re-

ceiver Aaron Mathews announced that he was switching his pledge from the Nittany Lions to the Panthers.

According to MaxPreps, Hamlin compiled 83 tackles as a senior down the road at Central Catholic, while picking off two passes and recovering three fumbles.

Hamlin joins a growing list of local top-tier recruits who decided to stay home at Pitt, which includes 2015 ACC Rookie of the Year Jordan Whitehead and first-team All-ACC wideout Tyler

NARDUZZI CAPPING OFF STRONG FIRST FULL OFFSEASON Chad Cameron For The Pitt News

In the final stretch of the courting process, Pitt head football coach Pat Narduzzi fed his recruits to the Zoo. Pitt invited a group of football recruits to watch the Virginia Tech game Sunday as members of the Oakland Zoo. With National Signing Day on Wednesday, the new Panthers head coach showed his plan to promote the culture of #PittIsIt. And with his first full recruiting class nearly finalized, Narduzzi has displayed a knack for bringing in — and retaining — talent that Pitt has desperately lacked.

The group included Damar Hamlin and Michigan commit Khaleke Hudson, as well as Pitt commits George Hill and Brandon Ford. Various targets for Pitt’s 2017 recruiting class, such as Paris Ford and C.J. Thorpe, also attended the game.

New Pitt recruit Hamlin was the standout visitor this weekend. Hamlin — a 6-foot-1, 179-pound wide receiver and defensive back out of Pittsburgh Central Catholic — is a four-star recruit according to Rivals, among four other fourstar Pitt commits.

Hamlin enters a talented group of defensive backs at Pitt, joining Whitehead, junior Avonte Maddox, seniors Reggie Mitchell and Terrish Webb, as well as other talented incoming freshmen like Therran Coleman.

The defensive back will officially sign with Pitt on Wednesday as part of National Signing Day. Pitt and Hamlin will open the 2016 season Sept. 3, against Villanova University at Heinz Field.

announced his commitment to the Panthers Monday evening. After losing wide receiver Tyler Boyd to the NFL Draft, Narduzzi wants his program to benefit from the talent-filled pipeline of Pittsburgh high schools.

During halftime Sunday evening, Pitt recognized football standouts Qadree Ollison and Jordan Whitehead for their ACC Rookie of the Year honors — likely a strategic power move by Narduzzi to instill a sense of confidence in his commits.

Schools make similar hard pushes at recruiting non-committed players, while also trying to flip committed players. But with cases such as Shawn Curtis last year and Robert Foster two years ago, Pitt has more often than not seen their prior commits flips. It’s a refreshing change to see Narduzzi put the Panthers on the offensive.

sizzling heading into the 2016 season, the Sept. 10 matchup this year will be fans’ most anticipated game of the year — after a whole season battling for players on the recruitment trail, Narduzzi and Franklin can finally meet on the gridiron.

Narduzzi’s use of social media has connected Pitt to recruits and a younger generation of players — something the Panthers program noticeably lacked prior to his hiring in December 2014.

Narduzzi and his staff will try to keep the buzz palpating as they prepare for another haul in 2017, which is off to a strong start already with commitments from defensive backs Exree Loe and Paris Ford.

The coach is trying to make Pitt “it,” and by the looks of his first offseason of recruiting, that goal is in reach.

Narduzzi has displayed a knack for bringing in, and retaining, talent.

to face off in September at Heinz Field, the Nittany Lions have reportedly attempted to flip multiple committed Pitt recruits to Penn State, according to Mike Vukovcan of Pittsburgh Sports Now. They have been unsuccessful so far — with likely little luck in the future.

While it’s not particularly rare for recruits to de-commit, Pitt has only had one recent recruit, Coffeyville Community College wide receiver Juwann Winfree, do so. But unlike in years past, Narduzzi has been able to make some last-second moves, replacing Winfree with former Penn State commit Aaron Mathews, who switched to Pitt after they offered him a chance to play wideout.

While Narduzzi successfully tempted a Nittany Lion player to switch allegiances, Penn State head coach James Franklin hasn’t had similar luck. Despite Franklin’s penning of the hashtag #DominateTheState, the Panthers have been able to fend off and fight back many of Penn State’s ad-

vances.

Vukovcan reported Jan. 26, Penn State at least approached Pitt commits, wide receiver Maurice Ffrench and cornerback Therran Coleman, to try and pull them in for an official campus visit.

According to Vukovcan, the prospects did not accept those invitations.
