DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS FACE OFF ON HEALTH CARE Neena Hagen

Senior Staff Writer Pitt College Republicans member Corey Barsky noted early in a Monday night debate against the College Democrats that health care is an issue that brings out passion from both ends of the political spectrum.

“I like to think I have more empathy on this

issue than most people,” the sophomore neuroscience major said. “As I sit here right now, I have four diagnosed pre-existing conditions.”

Health care topped the list of issues that mattered to voters in 2018’s midterm elections, and contenders for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination are already staking out positions on American health insurance.

The issue was one that the two clubs and

the Pitt Libertarians touched on in a 2017 three-way debate. But Monday’s two-way hour-long debate, hosted by Pitt’s chapter of HOSA Future Health Care Professionals, was devoted entirely to the question of health care.

A two-person team representing each party outlined a preferred policy — for the Democrats, a single-payer Medicare for All plan, See Debate on page 2

Beginning this August, students will have another on-campus housing option.

Last week, Pitt approved a three-year lease for up to 230 students to be housed in 87 apartments inside The Bridge on Forbes, a new upscale apartment complex that is still under construction in West Oakland.

This additional housing is part of an ongoing effort to provide more housing for Pitt students.

Beginning last fall, Pitt housed on-campus students on two floors in the Wyndham Hotel on Tennyson Avenue.

“The Bridge on Forbes has been great to work with and this is a real win-win for both parties.

The need for additional housing is due to the increased demand from students wanting to attend the University of Pittsburgh. The three-year lease is designed to assist us with providing quality housing for our students,” Joe Miksch, Pitt spokesperson, said.

The three-year lease totals $8,790,567 and is effective beginning on August 1. For the first year, the annual rental cost is $2,631,310, with one month that is rent-free. Rent for the second year will be $3,007,719 and $3,151,538 for the third year.

According to Miksch, the apartments on 3423 Forbes Ave. will be priced similarly to other apartment-style housing options provided by the University, like Bouquet Gardens.

“The price is comparable to the on-campus rate for apartment-style living. Since these are apartments with full kitchens, students will be charged the on-campus apartment rate,” Miksch said.

and for the Republicans, a free-market-based private system — before answering questions from the other side and from the audience.

Maureen Hartwell, a first-year political science major and debater for the Pitt Democrats, said single-payer was the only system that would ensure every American has health care.

“Health care is a human right,” Hartwell said. “It is elitist of us to deny health care based on income because we’re essentially telling people their lives are worthless.”

The Pitt College Democrats maintained that universal health care was not only morally superior to a free-market alternative, but it would also drive down health-care costs for the average American and small businesses. “[A single-payer system] ensures fewer administrative costs and better health outcomes for the American people,” Hartwel l said. “Under a single-payer system, as long as you are a certified member of a region where singlepayer is practiced … you will receive health care.”

By contrast, Pitt College Republicans argued that a free-market competition would make health care more affordable.

“A free-market economy always drives prices down,” Barsky said. “If I were on government health care, they would jack prices up because they’d know I only have one place to get health care.”

Barsky’s debating partner Phil Saggese, a junior political science major, said universal health care in the United States is not financially feasible, even if the policy has good intentions. He cited California’s failed attempt to pass statewide universal health care to show why it wouldn’t work on a national level.

“In 2017, California, one of the more liberal states in the country, proposed a plan for Medicare for All,” Saggese said. “But this plan was scrapped when the economic output came forward. It cost residents $400 billion … more than double the state’s entire budget.”

Saggese asked Democrats how they planned to pay for universal health care, given that it had already failed in the country’s “most progressive state.”

“Universal health care would put an end

to all medical bankruptcies … leading to a healthier and richer nation,” Hartwell responded. “It’ll benefit businesses because private companies can now free up the funds they spend on employees’ health insurance for other areas of their business. It’ll help the economy because, axiomatically, people work better when they’re living healthier lives.”

While Democrats and Republicans ultimately disagreed on an ideal health-care system in America, there was one thing they did agree on — the Affordable Care Act, which was put in place during Obama’s presidency and still stands, fails to provide Americans with high-quality, affordable coverage.

“The United States health-care system is failing us,” Hartwell said. “In 2015, the third leading cause of death in America was a medical error. Our health-care system is ranked 28th internationally, according to the United

Nations, and 28 million Americans have no coverage. This is all unacceptable.”

Saggese commended President Donald Trump for reversing Obama-era health-care policies. The president signed Right to Try laws in 2018, which allowed terminally ill patients to access treatments not approved by the FDA, and also repealed the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act, which required Americans who didn’t have health insurance to pay a fine.

HOSA member and junior biology major Vijay Vedachalam said those are the kinds of political talking points that future health-care professionals value hearing.

“One of the moral dilemmas in the medical field is determining how we treat the uninsured population,” he said. “I think this is an important discussion for HOSA members.”

Michael Clifford, a first-year economics

major, who raised his hand for nearly the entire debate trying to ask debaters a question, said he came into the debate with strong opinions about health-care policy, but he wanted to see how those stacked up against the opposition.

“I definitely agreed with the Republican side a lot more,” Clifford said. “But regardless of which facts I wanted to dispute, I commend both sides for being respectful towards each other and bringing up good points.”

Vedachalam echoed Clifford’s point, saying the debate was a productive learning experience for everyone involved.

“Both sides’ plans are certainly worth taking a look at to decide what’s best for our country and ultimately our citizens,” Vedachalam said.

WE NEED TO MAKE THE INTERNET A SAFER PLACE Mackenzie Oster Staff Columnist

Let’s face it — getting people to stay off social media is no more likely than Pitt cancelling school for low temperatures.

Even our own president uses Twitter as a serious platform for communication.

In fact, according to his Twitter profile, he’s posted a total of 37,600 tweets, which equates to 11 or 12 tweets per day. The use of social media has been steadily climbing for years now, and in 2018 about 77 percent of the U.S. population owned at least one social media account. The most widely used social media platforms are Facebook with 2.23 billion users, YouTube with 1.9 billion, Instagram with 1 billion and Twitter with 335 million.

Social media platforms possess so much power because they allow us all to connect, no matter where we are in the world. The internet was once seen as a beneficial platform for connection, but has since turned into a platform for heated, uncivil debate. Social media sites have developed into places where people build themselves up by tearing other users down, whether by demeaningly voicing an opinion or starting unnecessary fights.

The internet must become a safer, more civil space if we expect our discourse there to be healthy and productive.

The Weekly Standard argues that Twitter, specifically, has “changed America, mostly for the worse.” Twitter is one of the platforms that tends to tempt those into contributing to call-out culture with what social media users refer to as Twitter fights. Call-out culture is when people publicly bring attention to others’ racist, sexist or otherwise objectionable behavior, but the action of calling out others can often be as toxic as the behavior being

called out.

We had the privilege of witnessing two of the music industry’s most prominent rappers, Kanye West and Drake, hash out their differences via Twitter a couple weeks ago. West reignited his Twitter beef with Drake, accusing Drake of following West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, on Instagram, and demanded an apology. For all we know, the fight could’ve been a complete publicity scheme.

This is a prime example of the call-out culture that users have developed, using social media as a means of negative conversation rather than a beneficial connection.

Today is this year’s Safer Thomas Yang | assistant visual editor Internet Day, which carries the everyday life are to limit the time you slogan “Together for a better internet.” It’s spend attached to a screen, to not engage a campaign that seeks to create a better, with people who instigate a negative inmore positive internet space for users and teraction and to keep in mind that you are aims to target young people to celebrate in charge of who you interact with online the beneficial aspects of the internet, like — the block button is there for a reason. the opportunity for meaningful discusOf course, we should also make an efsion and the ability to learn from others’ fort to step back and respect our fellow points of view. users.

social media platforms would also be much more casual again, meaning we wouldn’t feel so pressured to spend so much time editing every flaw out of a photo before we post it online. This can be done by accepting that we are human and our lives aren’t always together, and recognizing that even though someone may look as if they have it all together online, we can only see what they want us to see.

When we do voice our opinions, it should be in a civil manner. Discourse would advance much further because when we are civil, people are much more likely to listen and respond in a respective manner. Social media itself is not reality, but the commentary left on a profile reaches a real person and can affect that user’s reality just as easily as spoken words can.

TINY MEAT GANG CAPTIVATES CROWD AT SMILING MOOSE Elizabeth Donnelly Staff Writer

When YouTuber Cody Ko was younger, he thought going on tour would be glamorous. At 28, he has learned that touring is quite the opposite.

“I always thought it would be cool to have a tour bus, like how sick would that be — getting f---ed up on the road? How cool would that be if you were 23?” Ko said to a crowd at the Smiling Moose on Thursday night. “You know what’s cool about having a tour bus when you’re almost 30? Nothing. Our bus is just six dudes holding in their poop for 10 hours.”

In the dimly lit room at South Side music venue Smiling Moose, YouTube comedy duo Cody Ko and Noel Miller, known as the “Tiny Meat Gang,” spent Thursday evening cracking jokes to an eager audience.

The Smiling Moose hosted the duo as part of its ongoing nationwide comedy tour. The 5:30 p.m.

Pittsburgh show was open to fans of all ages, with a 21+ show scheduled for the same day at 10 p.m.

Both shows sold out quickly once tickets were released. However, the 21+ show was cancelled and rescheduled due to Ko getting the flu the day of the show. They kept the all-ages show as scheduled, with Ko sitting out of the VIP meet-and-greet portion.

The show started promptly at 5:30 p.m., with Ko and Miller pushing their way to the stage through the crowd. Shortly after, they played a satirical song ridiculing the people in the front row, causing the audience to erupt with laughter.

Jeordyn Cassidy, a junior digital media arts major at Duquesne University, came to the show with her sister, who had introduced her to Ko and Miller’s YouTube channels.

“My favorite bit was the song in the beginning about the people in the front row. I thought that was really funny because getting to the front row was such a big deal, so them making fun of it was great,” Cassidy said.

Ko and Miller have amassed a large following on YouTube, with a combined following of more than 3 million subscribers. Ko has been making YouTube videos for the past four years, while Miller follows

questions, ranging from how they use toilet paper — crinkled or folded neatly — to what sort of different liquids they would want to come out of each of their fingers.

Fans came from all over for this show, with some from close-by areas and others from all the way near central Pennsylvania.

Dyllin Parker-Hughes, a junior cybersecurity major at Penn State, came all the way from State College to see this show.

“I thought the show was pretty funny. They had some great new stuff, but some of their old stuff was good too. I really liked the ‘That’s Cringe’ part of the show and the Q&A was very funny,” Parker-Hughes said.

During the Q&A session, Ko and Miller poked fun at many audience members, a token part of their act. They are known for roasting their subscribers and they didn’t hold back at this show.

One of the first questions from the crowd was a high schooler asking if they could find her a prom date. The duo didn’t really answer her question as they moved on, but the conversation circled back to it when the girl jokingly screamed, “I’m getting a refund!”

Miller poked fun at her and said, “You’re gonna get a refund? That’s alright. Maybe you’ll get a prom date there too.”

The crowd went crazy at this burn — even Miller himself doubled over with laughter after saying it.

The interactive portion of the show lasted for about 20 minutes, with the duo leaving the stage a little after 6:30 pm. The show, advertised as “an hour and a half of literal balls-out comedy,” ran a little short, likely due to the condition of Ko’s health.

The 21+ show has been rescheduled to be at the Rex Theater on March 27. At the current time, there are no new tickets available to purchase for this new date. Although the all-ages show ran short, there is no doubt the crowd loved every second of it and would gladly see the Tiny Meat Gang again.

“I loved the show. I thought it was so funny and I liked how they were very interactive,” Cassidy said. “It was hilarious. The only thing I’d like to see changed in the future is for it to be longer.”

From high school to college, former teammates reunited at Pitt pittnews.com

HURL TO PITT: CLUB EXCELS AT NATIONAL LEVEL Ben Bobeck Staff Writer

ence and motivation. The Boilermakers had lost to Montana, their semi-final opponent, in the championship game at last year’s national championship.

Purdue scored the first goal, putting three points on the board. A quick point for the Panthers followed by two goals in two minutes gave Pitt the lead, and it never looked back, winning by a final margin of 20-3 or 4-8 to 1-0 in hurling scoring.

According to Johnson, hurling, an Irish sport, is like a “mix between field hockey, lacrosse, rugby and mayhem.” Normally played with 15 players, the NCGAA rules require only 11, adapting to the smaller playing field utilized by the sport’s American players.

Johnson’s efforts to rebuild the club, along with vice president Joe Koniszewski, were centered on adding members to fill the roles of the 12 graduating seniors –– essentially the

whole team.

Along with Koniszewski, Johnson knew bringing up the numbers through recruitment would be the only way the team would survive, using the club sports fair and word of mouth as its main ways to recruit new members.

Once it had its numbers, a new challenge awaited –– helping its new players pick up a sport very few of them had ever heard of and that even fewer of them had ever played.

At the club’s first fall practice, only four of those present had ever actually played hurling before. One of those four was Johnson, who knew how the more inexperienced members of the team felt.

When he joined the club as a first-year in 2016, Johnson didn’t know how to play the sport, either, despite being familiar with hurling through his Irish heritage.

When Darragh Johnson took over as president and captain of the the Panther Hurling Club team in 2018, he didn’t know if it would be able to field a full 11-man team, much less compete for a national title.

One semester of intense recruiting, development and improvement later, Johnson, a junior chemical engineering major, was handed the trophy for the National Collegiate Gaelic Athletic Association Hurling National Championship following Pitt’s victories over UNC and Purdue in the final stages of the tournament on Jan. 20.

“I was worried, honestly, that I would be the president that saw it all come to an end,” Johnson said. “That it would be under my tenure, that I would be the president that hurling club ends under and then fast-forward four months later, I’m the first hurling president with a national championship.”

The top four teams advanced from the first round-robin stage into a four-team single elimination bracket. With dominating wins over Cal and Virginia Tech in their first day of games, the Panthers earned the second seed in the tournament. The club’s first game in the single-elimination bracket was against No. 3, host UNC. After a close first half, Pitt had built enough of a lead against the Tar Heels in the second half that Johnson was able to call his sister and confidently tell her the Panthers would play in their first national title game. The last obstacle would be top-seeded Purdue.

The Panthers were familiar with Purdue, having made the 16-hour round-trip drive to West Lafayette to face the Boilermakers last fall. That time, the hurling club members left with a sour taste in their mouths after a tough loss.

“I never played hurling before,” Johnson said. “But neither had anyone else on the team.”

That experience of learning the game along with his teammates served as a blueprint for Johnson and Koniszewski to teach their new class of recruits. Both had played soccer in high school and had thought about playing for the club soccer team at Pitt. Between the time commitment and level of skill the soccer team required, both found their way into hurling instead.

“We were able to find a really nice core of young freshmen who were also active, who played other sports in high school,” Koniszewski said. “We have a lot of guys who played soccer, lacrosse, baseball, which all really translate well to [hurling].”

Their sales pitch was the same no matter what sport the potential new player had experience with, centered on convincing the recruit that taking up a sport they may never have heard of would not be as hard as it sounds.

“We were trying to play to what they know and make it less intimidating,” Koniszewski said.

By combining the new members’ alreadyexisting athletic ability with a solid introduction to the basics of hurling, a strong team quickly took shape under the guidance of Johnson and coach Robert Thacker, a 2016 alumnus of the club.

From having to replace nearly the entire roster to navigating tough losses and a long regional season in the fall, Johnson, Koniszewski and the rest of the team had reached the pinnacle of the sport many of them knew little about when the season started.

Until now, the club has relied on two ways of recruitment, but next year, it’ll have a national championship to show off as a selling point.

“We got a lot of use out of that cup,” Koniszewski said.
