Pitt’s got some ‘Schmutz’ Abbey Reighard Assistant News Editor

Pitt students address sexual assault through art Jessica Iacullo Staff Writer Two Pitt graduate students are combating sexual assault on college campuses, armed with a paper chain that could one day span the height of the Cathedral of Learning.

The chain is made out of colored paper stapled together to create links, similar to the decorative chains one might find hanging in an elementary school art room. On each link there is an “It’s On Us” pledge, signed by a Pitt student, faculty member or staff member.

Megan Crilly and Christopher Hoff-

mann want to implement a Pitt-specific initiative similar to the national “It’s On Us” campaign that Pitt’s Sexual Assault Task Force adopted last September.

“Everyone has been reacting really positively to the campaign, and faculty and staff have been involved as well,” Crilly and Hoffmann said in an email.

“One of the coolest reactions we have noticed is that people have been writing messages to us on the paper links themselves. Students have written things like, ‘Thank you for doing this!’ and ‘This is much needed.’”

The two graduate students, also members of the Task Force, are con-

tributing to the campaign with a paper chain project and a campaign video, according to Mary Ruiz, head of the Pitt’s Sexual Assault Task Force. The video is scheduled to appear on the Student Affairs website today.

Crilly and Hoffmann said it will be long enough to span the height of the Cathedral of Learning, which is 535 feet tall. The two added that they hope they can display the chain at a location on campus, which they haven’t yet determined.

It’s On Us

Only one person attended Schmutz’s weekly meeting last night — its founder.

But she’s not too worried about the low attendance.

“People come if they feel like it,” Jessie Kast, who founded the group in January, said.

Schmutz is an improv comedy group that meets each Tuesday at 9 p.m. in room 363 of the Cathedral of Learning to play games and practice improv. Kast, who is also a member of Hillel, said she started the group after Hillel put on a performance comedy show last November called “MonOY-logues,” which plays off the Yiddish expression, “oy vey.” After the show, Kast and Courtney Strauss, Hillel’s director of engagement, decided that the Hillel students should form an improv troupe.

Schmutz is now the second improv group currently at Pitt. Ruckus, the other group, formed in 2013.

The word “schmutz” is a Yiddish word that Kast said “a lot of old Jewish grandmas say” to refer to dirt on one’s face.

“We thought it was appropriate for Hillel and we thought it was funny,” Kast, a sophomore majoring in poetry and microbiology, said.

Kast said there are about eight consistent members who come to most of the weekly meetings, but she added that the number changes depending on students’ schedules.

Kast said the meetings are very casual and added that Schmutz is a good place for people who want to try improv, but might be nervous about performing improv in front of an audience.

IT’S ON US “We chose a chain to show that our campus stands strong, together, against sexual assault,” Crilly and Hoffmann said. “Currently, we have about 3,000 links on the chain.”

According to Crilly, she and Hoffmann chose to construct a paper chain to augment the online initiative, after a brainstorming session in their office.

Crilly is a Master of Science student in the Graduate School of Public Health and Hoffmann is also an M.P.H./M.P.A. dual degree student there and at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs.

When the chain is complete, Stacey Downs, a sophomore majoring in accounting and finance, learned about the “It’s On Us” campaign at Pitt Dance Marathon, where she noticed an “It’s On Us” table.

“It’s really important to make students aware of the project,” Downs said, “especially considering what has been

March 4, 2015 | The Pitt News | www.pittnews.com happening at other college campuses.”

Crilly and Hoffmann started building the chain last semester and have since added more links with signatures from student groups like Campus Women’s Organization and Pitt Athletics. Chancellor Gallagher, Dean Humphrey and about 200 students were among the first to sign the chain.

The campaign work, however, is not exclusive to a Pitt audience.

“We’ve been working diligently to reach out to the national campaign in order to inform them about this project that The Obama administration is investigating five schools in Pennsylvania.

IT’S ON US In September, the Obama administration introduced “It’s On Us,” a national sexual assault prevention initiative for college campuses. “It’s On Us” is a public awareness and educational campaign to shift society’s attitudes about its responsibility to prevent sexual assault. The White House initiative encourages members of all universities

March 4, 2015 | The Pitt News | www.pittnews.com and colleges to sign a pledge online to commit to an environment where sexual assault is unacceptable and survivors are supported.

College-aged women are four times more likely than any other age group to face sexual assault, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network.

Schools across the country, such as Penn State, have also taken action by bringing “It’s On Us” to their student body. At a Penn State football game last

semester, the school aired a 32-second “It’s On Us” public service announcement, featuring famous celebrities like Jon Hamm, Kerry Washington, Kevin Love and Questlove.

Elise Kaslander, a Penn State sophomore studying psychology, attended the game and saw the “It’s On Us” video.

“The video definitely stood out to me because football games are such a fun atmosphere and the stadium is so big,” Kaslander said. “But it got really serious when the campaign came on. I

had never seen anything for this campaign before, so it was something new in relation to sexual assault.”

Crilly and Hoffmann note that many key figures at Pitt have signed the chain, such as Roc the Panther, members of the Faculty Senate, a number that Hoffmann could not recall and Chancellor Gallagher.

On Feb. 13, Chancellor Gallagher issued a memo describing his and the University’s stance on sexual assault and violence to Pitt’s faculty and staff.

In the email, Gallagher announced the new online program, Preventing Discrimination and Sexual Violence: Title IX, VAWA and the Clery Act. Gallagher also urged staff and students to report any and all instances of sexual assault if they occur.

“Our University is committed to actively fostering a culture that prevents sexual violence and protects the safety of our students, staff and faculty,” Gallagher said in the memo. “This type of culture requires actions of everyone.”

Gallagher sent the memo approximately seven months after the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights began investigating sexual assault on college campuses. The department is currently investigating 95 colleges across the United States. Pitt is not under investigation, but other Pennsylvania schools, including Carnegie Mellon University and Penn State University, are.

According to Pitt spokesperson John Fedele, the University is in full support of the students’ paper chain initiative.

“The University of Pittsburgh encourages its students to take action in support of causes and social issues that they feel strongly about,” Fedele said.

“It’s inspiring to see such enthusiasm for the ‘It’s On Us’ campaign to end sexual assault on campus.”

Although the chain is simply made from paper and staples, Crilly and Hoffmann expect it to have a stronger impact on campus than the average art project.

“When the chain is finished, we hope the chain will act as a visual reminder that sexual assault is not tolerated on our campus and that we support survivors of sexual assault,” Crilly and Hoffmann said.

Yoga regulations need relaxing

A debate on whether or not state regulators should play a larger role in yoga teaching certification is stretching out across Colorado.

A bill passed by a Colorado Senate committee last week mandated that the state must certify training programs for yoga teachers, according to The New York Times.

The Division of Private Occupational Schools would primarily be responsible for overseeing the regulations that come in response to a growing number of yoga instructors in the state. The process would be similar to other occupation oriented fields — barbers and cosmetologists are required to pass similar certification requirements in many states. Colorado’s government wants to ensure that these instructors are in fact properly qualified to teach such classes. In contrast, a bill to exempt yoga instructors’ training from such certification requirements successfully made its way through Senate appropriations yesterday.

Although the bill proposing greater state regulation most likely means well by aiming to ensure all yoga instructors are adequately qualified to teach, regulation of the yoga industry at the state level is both unnecessary and burdensome to yogis everywhere.

The government should use its regulatory power to sustain public health and order, but it should not micromanage every aspect of society. New certification requirements for yoga instructors are, foremost, a burden to those who teach yoga as a passion and not as a career. Al-

though there is not universal route to becoming a yoga instructor, the Yoga alliance, the national registry of yoga instructors, will not recognize a program if they haven’t spent 200 hours in a hands on learning environment.

By complicating yoga with superfluous regulations, many instructors who teach in their spare time will no longer have the drive,energy or money to continue doing something they love, consequently impacting the supply of yoga classes. Colorado yoga instructor Michelle Voeller recently closed her teacher training program after learning she would face a fee of more than $2,000, according to The Times.

Voeller’s situation reflects the reality that such unnecessary government regulation does not primarily protect citizens, but rather kills small enterprises. As Voeller notes, “The bigger people will survive, and the smaller people trying to do really authentic work will suffer.”

The Pure Food and Drug Act was a reasonable law, ensuring that citizens could take a drink of water or eat a hamburger without fear of death or illness. The government’s encouraging national travel with the Interstate Highway System was certainly beneficial to American citizens. Yoga sessions, however, should not require strict regulatory oversight of any government agency at any level of government.

Let’s hope Colorado relaxes a bit and adopts a stance that doesn’t hurt small business.

Keystone XL: Obama’s veto contrary to people’s will and benefit Marlo Safi For The Pitt News

President Obama, as expected, vetoed the Keystone XL Pipeline bill last week despite overwhelming support from Americans. His veto appeased the left wing.

Its pushback lies in climate concerns, and environmentalists have not failed to express their worries. The Natural Resources Defense Council argues that Keystone is not safe because of pipe leakage, and also advocates that the pipeline is economically disadvantageous, as it creates temporary, rather than permanent, jobs. The Keystone Pipeline would transport 730,000 barrels of oil per day from Alberta’s tar sands and would increase greenhouse gas emissions, as oil from

these tar sands is also among the most polluting.

However, such views overlook the many greater positives that the pipeline offers the American people and economy.

Most Americans agree, with 57 percent of Americans supporting it.

The Keystone XL Pipeline would be 1,179 miles of crude oil pipeline beginning in Alberta, Canada, and reaching down to Nebraska, allowing American oil producers to access the refining markets that would be available in both the Midwest and the Gulf.

TransCanada projects that the pipeline would create thousands of jobs, maintain low gas prices and wean the U.S. off of Middle Eastern oil.

While 57 percent of 1,011

Americans surveyed by CNN supported the construction of the pipeline, 28 percent opposed it, and 15 percent said they were unsure.

Construction of the Keystone Pipeline would create an estimated 40,000 jobs. Even Obama, who advocated the deliverance of unemployment benefits for up to 39 weeks and thus incentivized remaining unemployed, should be able to agree that giving 40,000 people jobs is a significant advantage.

The pipeline would also decrease our dependence on the Middle East for oil as well as countries like Venezuela—and with these regions being in the tumult they are, this would work

in our favor for a multitude of reasons.

Shifting our dependence on foreign oil to our own nation also contributes more than $3 billion toward U.S. GDP. The taxes that the project would pay would also benefit the towns the pipeline runs through, increasing the tax revenue 10 percent or more.

So, what’s the holdup? From everything I’ve mentioned, Obama looks like a

huge fool for vetoing a project that would boost our national economy as well as help local economies where the pipeline is built, give the U.S. closer access to crude oil and create thousands of jobs.

However, to provide another source to the discussion, the State Department issued a report in which it found that the pipeline is actually the most environmentally benign option. The alternatives are railroads and tanker ships, which also carry the risk of explosion, as demonstrated by a tanker explosion last month

in West Virginia. The State Department’s 17,000 pages of scientific research, as well as other environmental impact statements, all came to the consensus that the pipeline would have a miniscule impact on the environment. Obama should be cognizant of this fact because of multiple studies on the pipeline made available to him over the past few years..

Compared to the alternatives, this pipeline is an opportunity for high profits with little risk.

What this comes down to is Obama

playing callboy to those who are waging war on energy infrastructure.

Because the House and Senate are both Republican, we can expect Obama to begin exercising his veto power much more in his remaining days in office. The Keystone Pipeline is just an example of what could be to come in Obama’s last two years of presidency.

Pitt hosts Miami as teams fight for March Madness spot Chris Puzia Sports Editor

As March Madness approaches, all eyes turn to Joe Lunardi.

ESPN’s “bracketology” expert, who predicts which teams will make the NCAA Tournament weeks and months before Selection Sunday, updates his rankings after each night’s games.

After Pitt (19-11, 8-8 ACC) lost to Wake Forest on Sunday night 69-66, Lunardi still ranks the Panthers in his “first four out” category.

While that still means Lunardi thinks Pitt will miss the tournament, any spot on the bubble is precarious as teams above Pitt can still lose.

Still, Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon said he wants the team to stay focused, despite losing a late lead at Wake Forest.

“We have to get ready for Miami,” Dixon said after Sunday’s loss. “This is extremely disappointing to be up and not finish it like we were.”

To salvage its tournament chances, Pitt must regroup and prepare to face Miami on Wednesday night, in the Panthers’ final game at the Petersen Events Center this season.

Along with Pitt, Lunardi also includes Miami on his tournament bubble as the first team in the “next four out.”

With similar tournament resumés, whichever team loses on Wednesday may have its

tournament chances severely diminished.

The Hurricanes (18-11, 8-8 ACC) currently rank No. 70 in RPI, while Pitt ranks No. 49.

Miami posts a 2-6 record against the RPI top 50, while Pitt is a comparable 2-7.

CBS Sports analyst Jerry Palm also does not currently include Pitt in his NCAA Tournament projections, citing Sunday’s loss as too much to overcome.

“The Panthers have added a bad loss at Wake Forest to go with losses at Hawaii and Virginia Tech,” Palm said in the ‘bubble watch’ section of his bracket projections. “They really need a quality win away from home, but that will have to come in the conference tournament.”

“We have to get ready for a quick turnaround for our last home game — Senior Night,” Dixon said.

Wednesday’s game will be the final time that senior guard Cameron Wright takes the court at the Petersen Events Center, and, if this game fares like his last outing, his personal performance will not disappoint him.

Against Wake Forest on Sunday, Wright scored 11 points in 36 minutes of work, and he tacked on six assists and five rebounds in the loss.

Wright may match up with Miami’s junior guards Sheldon McClellan and Angel Rodri-

Rose’s latest injury does not mark end of career

Jessica Boddy Staff Writer Derrick Rose’s knee problem on Feb. 24 spurred a range of reactions as varied as it has been the past two times that one of his knees failed him.

Some thought the doctors had perfectly sutured the Chicago Bulls’ star point guard, sending him back on the path to reclaim MVP. These people are filled with exasperation, dropping to their knees in front of their televisions asking, “Why?”

when ESPN reported that Rose had torn the medial meniscus in his right knee for the second time on Nov. 22, 2013.

Then there are others who express the opposite reaction: unfazed and smugly claiming that they knew this would happen, without a doubt, as if they were Rose’s physical therapist or orthopedic surgeon.

Finally, there are those like me who are smack in the middle, staring at the screen with eyes wide and jaws dropped, trying to decide how to react before eventually

realizing that we just feel bad for the guy.

This seemed to be the reaction of a large portion of the NBA and its players, as numerous tweets would attest last week after the news broke about Rose’s third major knee injury in three years.

Four-time NBA MVP LeBron James tweeted at Rose on the day of the injury, saying, “Man feel bad for D.Rose! Keep your head up homie, and stay strong G!” Pacers forward Paul George, who suffered a gruesome lower-leg fracture during a Team USA scrimmage in August of

last year, also showed sympathy for the Chicago Bulls point guard.

“Damn man send one up for D Rose..

Hate this keeps coming back but like before it won’t keep you down!” George tweeted.

However, we shouldn’t consider Rose’s career over just yet. Through two major recoveries, he has shown that he has the desire and dedication to keep playing in the NBA, and we should not look at this

Kiesel earns First-Team All-ACC honors Chris Puzia Sports Editor Brianna Kiesel’s strong performance this season earned her something that no other Pitt women’s or men’s basketball player has ever achieved: making the FirstTeam All-ACC. The ACC’s Blue Ribbon Panel named Kiesel, who averages 18.5 points per game this season, to the First-Team All-ACC on Tuesday, signifying her as one of the top players in the conference.

The senior point guard’s scoring numbers, along with her 4.7 assists and 2.2 steals per game this season, each rank in the top five in the ACC in each category. She also leads the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio with 2.3.

Brianna Kiesel became the first Pitt basketball player to “Brianna is having an incredmake First-Team All-ACC. Meghan Sunners | Staff Photogra- ible season, and this honor is wellpher

“Brianna is having an incredible season...we are all so proud of her.”

Suzie McConnellSerio entering Thursday’s ACC Tournament game. In her last outing, she

scored 22 points in a comeback win over Clemson on Sunday.

She is also the only Panther in school history to amass more than 1,500 points, 500 rebounds and 400 assists in a career.

Besides the ACC honors, Kiesel’s strong play is also gaining national attention. She is one of 15 finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award, which recognizes the nation’s top point guard.

“She has worked so hard, and she impacts our team in so many ways,” McConnell-Serio said. “We are all so proud of her.”

Kiesel and the Panthers (19-10, 9-7 ACC) next take the court on Thursday at 6 p.m. as part of the ACC Tournament. Pitt, the No. 7 seed in the tournament, will face the winner of No. 10 North Carolina State vs. No. 15 Virginia Tech in Greensboro, N.C.

“We’ve put ourselves in a very tough situation to make the dance,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. “We’re going to have to probably win out next four games, two in the regular season and two in the [ACC] Tournament.”

However, Pitt may not have to worry about Rodriguez, who Larrañaga said on Tuesday might not play against the Panthers because of a wrist injury.

Without its second-leading scorer, Miami would have to rely on other options, like junior center Tonye Jekiri or sophomore guard Manu Lecomte, who average 8.7 and 7.8 points per game, respectively.

With both teams nearing the end of the regular season facing similar postseason circumstances, Wednesday’s game could be one of desperation, as both team’s tournament aspirations are on the line.

The game tips off at the Petersen Events Center at 8 p.m.

setback as an endpoint.

Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau also held onto hope after hearing about Rose’s meniscus tear.

“I don’t know what to say other than it’s just so unfair,” Thibodeau said, the day following Rose’s injury. “A guy’s been through so much, and you know what he’s put into it. Any time you have surgery it’s tough, but hopefully this one will be much shorter than the other ones.”

Thibodeau was correct about the timeline — Rose’s surgeon removed his torn pieces of cartilage, which can have a recovery time as short as three weeks. In fact, because this procedure is so easy to perform and warrants a quick recovery, it is the most common orthopedic procedure in the United States.

The last time Rose tore his meniscus in the same knee in November 2013, his surgeon repaired the cartilage using stitches.

This method is better in the long run as it preserves the cartilage, but it comes with a hefty recovery time of three to six
