CHiKN brings Nashville hot

H-2-DAB

chicken to Oakland

Maggie Young Staff Writer

There is now a third location in Oakland that sells chicken and spells it wrong — CHiKN. CHiKN opened its doors Jan. 18 on Forbes Avenue. The owners of Stack’d designed their fast, casual, no-cash location for Nashville-style hot chicken — spicy and fried — which they said Pittsburgh has not seen before.

Mike Garner, one of Stack’d’s five partners, said they have been planning the restaurant for eight months, after being inspired by the source of the trend, in Nashville.

“We fell in love with the Nashville hot chicken when we went down there for a bachelor party, like Hattie B’s, Prince’s, the original places. It’s blown up out west where one of the partners, Sean, lives, in LA. There’s a couple different restaurants doing it out there. There’s nothing like it in Pittsburgh,” Garner said.

The menu offers four variations of chicken — sandwich, tenders, salad and “CHiKN & Waffles.”

Customers can customize the heat of the chicken based on their spice preference, ranging from “Southern” to “Damn Hot.” Garner said himself that the latter is too spicy for him.

“Our medium is most people’s hot. Then our hot is really hot and the ‘Damn Hot’ is only for the very few spicy people that really like it,” Garner said. “The feedback is good, it’s a different type of food, so no one’s really seen it before up here.”

Nashville-style hot chicken has been around for more than 70 years, when Prince’s first started selling its original dish. It has recently spread across the country at trendy locations, including cities like Los Angeles and Chicago.

PITT STUDENTS SEARCH FOR AEROSPACE PROGRAM Mary Rose O’Donnell Staff Writer

From Air Force ROTC cadets to Swanson engineers, many Pitt students yearn for a solid aerospace program that can prepare them for future careers in the United States Air Force and other related aerospace fields.

But Pitt students are unable to gain recognition for any aerospace work they do in their respective programs. Pitt offers no major, minor or certificate in any aerospace-related field.

There are about 100 cadets in Pitt’s AFROTC program, also known as Detachment 730. As a part of this program, cadets must complete ROTC-specific See CHiKN on page 2 work in and outside of the classroom in

addition to their regular undergraduate coursework. These classes cover topics such as Air Force history and current international security matters, and differ from traditional aerospace engineering, which involves the technical side of aerospace-related topics.

Lt. Col. Diana Bishop, the commander of Detachment 730, said over the course of their undergraduate career cadets will take 16 aerospace studies courses, which are required to pursue a career in the Air Force. These courses, along with community service and physical, field and leadership training, accumulate to about 750 hours of work across a cadet’s undergraduate career.

According to Isabel Murdock, a senior

cadet in Pitt’s AFROTC program and an electrical engineering and computer engineering major at Carnegie Mellon University, these classes often cause students to go over the 18-credit limit each semester, forcing them to pay for the additional credits that don’t count toward any University-recognized academic requirement.

“They have to pay to take these AFROTC classes and the only reason cadets are taking these classes is so that they can go into the military,” Murdock said.

“They get no academic minor, no academic recognition from the school, even though they are paying for the credits.”

secret, since that’s where most of the chicken’s flavor comes from, but said it has nine different seasonings in it. (Prince’s has only ever confirmed that their chicken contains cayenne pepper.)

Finding the exact method of chicken preparation took months of practice, he said, and the restaurant’s use of fresh ingredients helps balance the menu.

“Every single item is made from scratch, our waffles are made from scratch, our coleslaw. The buns are baked daily from Mediterra, the pickles are from Pittsburgh Pickle Company every day,” Garner said.

Garner said Oakland was a great place to bring Stack’d’s take on the hot chicken trend.

The hospital and office buildings nearby offer a lot of foot traffic, and Garner said he and his partners decided to open in Oakland when a

Aerospace, pg. 1 and computer engineering major at Pitt, said he wants to see Pitt recognize the work he and other cadets complete as a part of ROTC. “We would love to see Pitt recognize the work we put in the form of an academic minor. There has been discussions about an aerospace studies minor.

A lot of other universities with AFROTC programs do grant that and give recognition for the time that is put in for ROTC,” Stephenson said.

Fellow Pennsylvania AFROTC institutions, such as Wilkes University, Saint Joseph’s University and Penn State University, all offer an aerospace studies minor. Penn State also offers an aerospace engineering program, something which Pitt students in and out of AFROTC have expressed interest in.

Bishop said their program loses potential students because Pitt does not have an aerospace studies minor or an aerospace engineering program.

“Throughout the year, we interview a lot of high school students for AFROTC scholarships. Many of them are interested in aerospace engineering. Because Pitt doesn’t offer an aerospace engineer-

location on Forbes opened up.

Aaron Sett, a senior economics major, was excited to finally have a chance to come to CHiKN for the first time since the restaurant opened more than two weeks ago. Sett said he’s enjoying the transition from one restaurant to the next, although he misses the building’s previous tenant — Qdoba.

“It’s something new. I was a big fan of the Qdoba when it was here — I was hoping for something to replace that,” Sett said. “It took us almost a week to get here because it’s been so packed. Super spicy, but it’s really good food.

Compared to Stack’d a few doors down, CHiKN aims to provide fast dining rather than a sit-down environment. Store manager Zechariah Vanzo enjoys having the buildings so close to each other.

“It’s pretty nice [being close to Stack’d] in a way, for now we kind of steal our own business

away. But we just figure eventually it will even out once the craze is over, with a new place starting here. We hope that we can just cover the to-go here and the sit-down over there,” Venzo said.

Garner emphasized that it wasn’t an issue of competition between CHiKN and Stack’d, because the stores sell two different things.

“We weren’t really worried about competition,” Garner said. “Because that’s burgers and this is chicken and fast food, it’s fast casual, it’s totally different.”

Since the fast and casual eatery opened two weeks ago, Venzo said he thinks the business is doing well as of yet.

“So far, it’s been very successful, we thought at first maybe the no cash thing would turn people away, but it hasn’t so far. We’ve gotten a lot of regular customers coming through, every day it just kinda keeps growing,” Venzo said.

According to both Venzo and Garner, the

next item on CHiKN’s agenda is to start selling breakfast foods. Garner said the menu will be ready for orders in about two weeks, featuring options such as egg sandwiches and avocado toast.

Garner said CHiKN plans on being a quick breakfast option for Oakland.

“Chickens have eggs, so we have egg sandwiches,” Garner said. “There’s Pamela’s, but that’s sit down, McDonald’s is McDonald’s. This is gonna be a great chicken sandwich, or egg sandwich and stuff.”

Both the original and breakfast menus only have four options — which Garner said is key to a good product.

“We wanted to keep it simple, keep it small, just do one thing really well, so people were talking about us and trying to have the best fried chicken in Pittsburgh,” Garner said.

“That’s the goal.”

ing curriculum as a part of their core engineering curriculum, we lose them to other schools,” Bishop said. “We want those students to bring their valuable scholarship money to the University of Pittsburgh, but instead they’re taking it to places like Penn State.”

Pitt’s Swanson School of Engineering does not currently have an aerospace engineering program, but the mechanical engineering and materials science department, also known as MEMS, is the closest thing to it.

Brian Gleeson, the chair of the MEMS department, is aware of the student interest in aerospace engineering, but said the department doesn’t have room to expand yet. “[Aerospace engineering] is something we would like to do. We do sense there is a demand for it. It’s just a matter of resources and space. We don’t have a lot of room for growth right now. I’m not saying that it can’t happen, but right now it’s not on the table,” Gleeson said.

He said Swanson and the MEMS curriculum provides a solid foundation for students who want to pursue aerospace engineering, but acknowledges the benefits in a dedicated aerospace engineering program.

“Students are given the essential

components, but they’re not going to be as competitive as somebody who goes to Purdue or another institution who goes through the aerospace engineering program,” Gleeson said.

Though students cannot take aerospace-specific classes at Pitt, they do have the option to go abroad and take related classes.

Kristine Lalley, the director of International Engineering Initiatives at Swanson, is in charge of developing international education experiences for Swanson students. Lalley said students have gone abroad, mostly to Germany, to receive an aerospace-specific education.

“Those who have taken aerospace engineering classes at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich absolutely had an amazing experience taking these courses and were able to transfer them back to Pitt,” Lalley said.

Gleeson said aerospace student organizations are a great resource for students looking to gain experience in the field. One of these organizations is the Society of Astronautics and Rocketry, formerly known as the Pitt Rocketry Team.

Fernando Tabares, a senior physics and finance major, co-founded the club last September. He and SOAR are pre-

paring to compete in NASA’s Student Launch Competition in April, where teams must create and launch a rocket a mile into the air, then have it land and deploy a rover or drone that must complete specific tasks.

Tabares, who is currently completing an internship in California with Tesla while finishing his undergraduate degree, said a student organization like SOAR is a great opportunity for students who are interested in aerospace.

“Aerospace and astronautical engineering is a very difficult industry to break into. You need experience. A student organization is the ideal way to get actual hands-on experience with hardware while on campus, rather than having to wait and apply for an internship,” Tabares said.

Tabares said the mechanical engineering and physics majors have prepared him for a career in aerospace, but that students are wanting more.

“Programs like Pitt Rocket Team supply an aerospace experience for students.

There’s a demand from students like me who want to participate in what we think is a really exciting industry that’s booming right now,” Tabares said. “This organization is doing a really good job right now of meeting that demand.”

Opinions

from the editorial board

Northam’s racist photo is inexcusable Gov. Ralph Northam, D-Va., was ready to moonwalk at a press conference this Saturday — he surveyed the stage, presumably to determine whether or not he had enough space to let loose, but his wife put a stop to the whole thing from beside him by saying, “inappropriate circumstances.”

Seemingly amused, Northam repeated his wife’s words to those gathered, as if he didn’t understand the gravity of the situation. The “inappropriate circumstances” involved a photo from his 1984 medical school yearbook that shows a man in blackface standing next to a man dressed in a Ku Klux Klan robe.

Since the photo surfaced Friday, the governor confirmed and then subsequently denied that he was one of the men in the photo. He currently faces calls from his party and his constituents to resign, which he is refusing to do. He is far too defensive of something that has no defense, and should immediately resign from office as the vast majority of his fellow Democrats demand.

“I am deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now,” he said in his first statement Friday. “This behavior is not in keeping with who I am today and the values I have fought for throughout my career in the military, in medicine, and in public service. But I want to be clear, I understand how this decision shakes Virginians’ faith in that commitment.”

Then in a strange 180-degree turn the next day, Northam told press that after taking a better look at the photo,

pittnews.com

which was published on a page of the yearbook featuring his name and other pictures of him, he couldn’t remember that situation and therefore wasn’t one of the people in the photo.

This change in position received immediate, necessary backlash from Democratic politicians and citizens.

Sens. Mark R. Warner, D-Va., and Tim Kaine, D-Va., Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., the Democratic Governor’s Association, Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez, the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring and others justly called for his resignation.

Despite the overwhelming opposition to his continued tenure as governor, Northam seems intent on working through the scandal, as he mentioned in his original statement.

“I recognize that it will take time and serious effort to heal the damage this conduct has caused,” he said. “I am ready to do that important work.

The first step is to offer my sincerest apology and to state my absolute commitment to living up to the expectations Virginians set for me when they elected me to be their governor.”

Whether he knows it or not, Northam’s political career is over.

There are some offenses that are unforgivable, whether they happened more than three decades ago or just yesterday. That’s how it has to be in order to combat racism, sexism and bigotry, to prevent people from thinking such offenses can easily be forgiven. We can’t forgive and forget just because the perpetrator recognizes — or doesn’t — exactly what he did wrong and apologizes for it.

THE IMMORALITY OF ROMANTICIZING A SERIAL KILLER

Ana Altchek

Staff Columnist

Ted Bundy is infamous for the brutal abuse, assault and murder of 36 women in the Midwest in the 1970s — although there is reason to suspect there are more unknown victims.

While this is not recent news, the serial killer is back in the spotlight. Netflix recently produced a documentary on his life and a trailer was just released for “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile,” a dramatized version of his life starring Zac Efron directed by Joe Berlinger and produced by Voltage Pictures.

The Netflix show contains live footage and personal interviews from his time on death row that allow the audience to gain an inside perspective on the mind of Ted Bundy — the seemingly normal, attractive man who committed unthinkable atrocities. While the documentary includes interviews from investigators and criminal officials, it also allows Bundy to posthumously share his full side of the story with his own words.

However, rather than expose the actions of a psychopathic criminal, the movie is trending all over social media because of Bundy’s good looks and supposed charm. Netflix acknowledged this in a tweet and reminded audience members that the intent of the documentary was not to produce fangirls over the serial killer.

“I’ve seen a lot of talk about Ted Bundy’s alleged hotness and would like to gently remind everyone that there are literally THOUSANDS of hot men on the service — almost all of whom are not convicted serial murderers,” the tweet read.

Yet the show included his entire life

February 4, 2019

story from his point of view, while providing little information about how the murders or assaults took place. This put an emphasis on who he was, at the same time it put the deaths of more than 30 women on the backburner.

When I watched the documentary, I fell into this trap as well. It wasn’t until I researched the attacks and the distinctive brutality he used to commit them that I discovered just how vile and perverse he really was.

Along with being a necrophile, he bludgeoned women with metal bars, assaulted them with foreign objects, ate their flesh, kept souvenirs of body parts and focused on specifically brutalizing the most private parts of their bodies.

The film “‘Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile” is the Hollywood portrayal of Bundy’s story. It features Zac Efron, who plays a particularly cunning, attractive and charismatic version of the criminal — only extenuating this newly trending, horrifying fantasy about the character.

Even though the film is not out yet, the trailer itself is shocking. Along with casting an American heartthrob as a vile murderer, the scenes seem to portray his character as an exceptional father figure and hero who has to convince his girlfriend and the jury that he is innocent, when he is clearly the villain in real life.

People seem to have heavily romanticized his persona just because he doesn’t fit the ideal image of a serial killer — socially awkward, unattractive and perhaps outwardly aggressive — but are exaggerating his average qualities rather than his murderous actions, which is exactly what See Altchek on page 4

Bundy wanted.

“He liked being the center of attention … the better known he was, the more he put himself under undue risk,” Charles Leidner, the defense attorney of a victim of the case, said in the documentary.

At the time, he was always updated on the most recent news that was reported about him. The fact that he is now being played by one of People’s hottest men for 2017 would be thrilling for him.

“He was obviously paying attention to any time his name was used on the air or in print,” Leidner said. “He was a narcissist along with being a psychopath so I think he watched every newscast he could.”

However, some doubts about this controversy were put to rest when Kathy Kleiner Rubin, a Bundy survivor, gave her approval of the Hollywood film in an interview with TMZ. “I don’t have a problem with people looking at it as long as they understand that what they’re watching wasn’t a normal person,” Rubin told TMZ.

Ted Bundy is am infamous serial killer responsible for the brutal abuse, assault and murder of 36 women in the 1970s. via fbi | wikimedia Nonetheless, Rubin is a survivor, whereas there are dozens of women whose bodies were mutilated because of this man — and it’s unlikely that her approval can be universally applied to those whose lives are lost.

In fact, two friends of Bundy’s last victim, 12-year-old Kimberly Leach,

have spoken out about the recent phenomenon surrounding the murder. Lisa Little, her childhood friend, is disappointed in the industry for using Bundy to make money.

“The fact that they’re making this new movie outrages me, especially because they’re using Zac Efron, who’s so

cute, so attractive,” Little said in a 2019 interview with First Coast News ABC. While it is acceptable to show his double-sided character and investigate his story, it is unsettling that his story has opened up space for appraisal and such skewed romanticism. The two productions should have focused more on his actions, rather than his personal telling of the story. It is concerning that Hollywood is giving fame to a man who mutilated women’s bodies, beat them with crowbars and dragged them through the woods where their bodies were taken apart by animals.

“If we’re going to talk about Bundy, I want to focus on the victims, they’re the ones that need to be remembered,” Little said. “He has gotten all of the attention he deserves.”

The families of the victims, and the victims themselves, may have been horrified and devastated to know their killer would be trending because of his good looks and charm. It is unfair to the victims who are no longer living, and to future victims of rape or abuse, to normalize or brush off this kind of behavior to sell tickets at the box office.

DUKE DEFEATS PITT WOMEN’S BASKETBALL, 74-55 Dominic Campbell Staff Writer

It was another tough outing for the Pitt women’s basketball team Sunday, with the Panthers heading to Duke in search of their first ACC victory. Instead, the Blue Devils dealt Pitt its ninth loss in as many games, 74-55.

That brings the Panthers’ ACC losing streak to an unsightly 16 games dating back to last season, with their last conference victory — 58-42 over Clemson on Feb. 1 — happening more than a year ago. The loss also keeps Pitt winless against Duke in the all-time series, which now sits at 10-0 in favor of the Blue Devils.

The Panthers turned in a surprisingly effective first quarter, actually finishing with a 19-17 lead over Duke. It was a back-and-forth period, with nine lead changes and five ties as neither team was able to mount any major runs.

For the Panthers, senior guard Cassidy Walsh had a big first quarter, shooting 3-5 from a 3-point range and leading the time with 9 points. Sophomores Jaala Henry, Kyla Nelson and Cara Judkins, as well as senior forward Danielle Garven and junior guard Jasmine Whitney, each scored 2 points for Pitt. The team as a whole shot 7-16, or 43.8 percent in the quarter.

The Blue Devils’ post players scored a big portion of their points, with firstyear forward Onome Akinbode-James and sophomore center Jade Williams scoring 6 and 3 points, respectively. The duo also helped Duke secure a 13-7 rebounding advantage in the quarter, as each pulled down three boards.

Duke took control of the second quarter and built a 9-point lead, 41-32, over Pitt going into halftime. Redshirt junior

Sophomore center Cara Judkins (11) attempts a layup during Pitt’s Jan. 31 loss against Virginia Tech. Yesterday’s loss against Duke marked Pitt’s ninth straight loss this season. Bader Abdulmajeed| staff photographer guard Haley Gorecki, who shot 0-4 in the first quarter, was dominant in this frame, scoring 11 points on 4-7 shooting, including two 3-pointers, and a made free throw. First-year guard Miela Goodchild was also deadly from 3-point range, making three of her four attempts for a 9-point quarter. As a team, Duke shot 9-14 in the quarter, including an impressive 5-9 at the 3-point line.

Pitt couldn’t keep up with Duke’s efficient offense, shooting only 6-15 from the field and 1-5 from 3-point range.

Garven led the team with 4 points on a jumper and a fast-break layup and Walsh netted another 3-pointer to chip in. While things weren’t working offensively, the Panthers did create six steals on defense, with senior center Kalista Walters and Walsh leading the team with two steals each in the quarter.

The third quarter saw both teams struggling mightily from the field, with the Blue Devils having a slight points advantage, 11-10. Pitt actually shot better than Duke in the quarter, going 4-15, or

February 4, 2019

26.7 percent, from the field, while Duke went an abysmal 3-17, or 17.6 percent.

The Panthers started the third quarter on a 8-2 run to cut the lead to three with 5:58 left. Walsh and Nelson hit 3-pointers and Judkins made a mid-range jumper, and Gorecki countered back with a layup to keep Duke ahead.

But Duke responded with a 9-2 run to close out the quarter with a 52-42 lead.

Junior forward Leaonna Odom started off the run converting an and-one opportunity, Gorecki made both foul shots, Goodchild made another 3-pointer and Williams made a free throw. Whitney ended the quarter for Pitt with a layup to stop the run.

The Blue Devils played much better in the fourth quarter, shooting 8-14 from the field and 4-5 from the foul line. Pitt, on the other hand, struggled, shooting 5-20 from the field and 1-9 from 3-point range.

Williams led in the quarter with 6 points as she dominated down low against the Panthers. Odom was right behind her with 5, making a jumper in the paint and converting a 3-point play.

Goodchild made another 3-pointer for an outstanding 7-9 from outside the arc and also making her the leading scorer with 20 points for the game.

Whitney was one of the only players to contribute for a struggling Pitt team in the fourth quarter, scoring 5 points off of two jumpers and a free throw. Judkins made a basket and a free throw for three points, Garven made a jumper and Walsh hit another 3-pointer to give her a career-high six 3’s in the game.

The Panthers will look once more for that elusive ACC win when they travel to Georgia Tech to take on the Yellow Jackets Thursday night at 7 p.m.

In an otherwise bleak three days, the tennis and track and field programs provided moments of victory with set wins and podium finishes.

Tennis Pitt’s tennis team had a busy weekend with back-to-back home sets against the University of Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens and the West Virginia University Mountaineers.

The Panthers cleaned house against the Blue Hens on Saturday, winning five of six singles matches and then sweeping the doubles in a match that saw each Panther take part in at least one victory.
