Board welcomes new member, new semester Abbey Reigard Staff Writer

With less than half the fiscal year remaining, time is not on the side of the newest Student Government Board member.

The Board met in Nordy’s Place for its first public meeting of the semester and announced its new member, Meghan Murphy, to about 40 students. The Board selected Murphy, a junior majoring in neuroscience and political science, to fill the latest vacancy left by Ryan Orr, who came onto the board in April and resigned after transferring to the University of Virginia.

The Board members had brief, private conversations with Murphy and the other two candidates before the meeting, according to President Mike Nites. The Board members chose Murphy, previously an elections committee member, because they were interested in her project ideas and liked her familiarity with SGB. “I want to get everyone involved,” Murphy said. “Not just the people who are already looking to get involved.”

Murphy said she plans to collaborate with Board members Andrew Abboud and Sara Klein on their ongoing wellness project and with Abby Zurschmit, whose

most recent project is increasing the dining options on campus.

Murphy’s appointment fills the former seat of Orr, who replaced one of the two open Board seats after the resignations of former

Board members Brandon Benjamin and Ellie Tsatsos. Orr’s resignation marked the fourth board member to resign during the 2014 fiscal year.

The Board chose Murphy from

the six finalists who participated in the previous public interviews to replace Benjamin and Tsatsos in April as well as former Board member Jake Radziwon, who resigned in February.

Nites said the Board approached all of the finalists about the opening, but three finalists declined to re-apply for the position.

Erin Shields, a senior majoring in history and political science, was one of the former finalists who declined because she hasn’t decided whether or not she wants to eventually study abroad.

“SGB deserves members who (finally) take their commitment seriously,” Shields said in an email.

“I decided I didn’t want to take on the tradition of abdicating if my interests did take me away from Pitt’s campus.”

Andrew Stefanick, a senior majoring in accounting and finance, applied for the SGB position when Radziwon resigned and then again when Benjamin and Tsatsos resigned. He opted out from this round to focus on his courses this semester but intends to run for the 2015 fiscal year.

Nites said the private conversations revolved around projects the applicants pitched if selected as Board members. The project

Mayor Peduto creates education panel to compete for funding Cristina Holtzer News Editor The federal government may grant Pennsylvania $20 million in education funding due to plans from Mayor Bill Peduto’s office..

Peduto announced Monday the creation of a Blue Ribbon Panel on Early Childhood Education, a specialized task force of 20 local education professionals who will work toward winning the nationwide Preschool Development Grants competition, which is a federal program that will grant $250 million to preschool education nationwide for the fiscal year 2014 , according to a release.

While the panel’s main goal is to win the “competitive grants from the White House,” it will also work to support early childhood education generally,

according to Peduto’s spokesman Tim McNulty.

Pennsylvania is eligible to win up to $20 million from the competition if they satisfy requirements such as implementing “state-level infrastructure and quality improvements” and setting up childcare learning services from birth through third grade, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

“Pittsburgh must keep developing as a city of learning — a city committed to exemplary education of its citizens from birth to career and from career to lifelong learning — and providing early childhood education is essential to that development,” Peduto said in the release.

McNulty was not able to provide specifics on what the panel will do aside from planning ways to improve Pitts-

burgh preschools and working to win the competition. The panel will also determine “the best application that the city can put forward” to address the needs of preschool students.

Another city-based education initiative =is The Pittsburgh Promise — a foundation that gives privately funded college scholarships for students who complete their entire education at Pittsburgh Public Schools. Although the city does not fund The Pittsburgh Promise, McNulty said Peduto’s office regards The Pittsburgh Promise as a way to help students at the “back end” of education.

Winning $20 million in grants will enable Peduto’s office to provide a similar service for early childhood education.

“Now he’s looking at something special that Pittsburgh can provide on the front end of education,” McNulty said.

ideas consisted of proposals the applicants presented during their first interviews with the Board and new projects the candidates have thought of since the interviews took place.

“We’re not going to drill them with questions,” Nites said. “We won’t get into allocations or all the nitty-gritty.”

Nites said he and the other Board members initially questioned if it was worth appointing someone new with just one semester left for the Board to serve.

“We realized it would be a disservice to students not to [fill the position],” Nites said.

In the future, Nites said he wants to make the expectations more clear for students who want to run for Student Government.

One way he said he hopes to achieve this is by listing the responsibilities — especially the time commitments — the applicants will have as Board members on the election information packets.

Excitement over airport drilling masks its viable harms

Western Pennsylvania has always been a fracker’s paradise.

Since the Corbett administration took office in Harrisburg, fracturing — or fracking — shale rocks to release the precious natural gas inside has been highly celebrated in Pennsylvania, as demonstrated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) relatively lenient regulations regarding the “cutting-edge” technique.

Inevitably, the Corbett administration’s preferred method of energy extraction has spread to Allegheny County, and more recently, the Pittsburgh International Airport.

Even though the drilling of countyowned land near the airport technically began on Aug. 15, it wasn’t until this past Monday that Consol Energy President and CEO, Nick Deluliis, and Gov. Tom Corbett, along with other state politicians, gathered at the site to commemorate the “project kickoff.”

Politicians, Consol Energy and the Pittsburgh airport seem to be very excited about this project, and for good reason. Consol expects that it will bring more than $1 billion to the region, $50 million to the Allegheny County Airport Authority — including 18

percent in royalties over the next two decades — and $500 million in capital spending by Consol itself.

This project undoubtedly presents benefits for Consol and for the airport — which has been in fiscal dire straits as of late — but the benefits for the actual region might not go past the airport or the large energy company. In fact, the project has the potential to spread more harm than tangible good to the people of Allegheny County.

First, the amount of money that the public stands to gain from this drilling is not as high as it looks on its face. Yes, Consol expects that the project will generate funds to the region, but a substantial portion seems to be focused on alleviating the airport’s debt.

The actual economic benefits this project will bring the average Allegheny County resident will most likely not be as dramatic as Corbett and Consol have insinuated. And seeing that Pennsylvania does not charge a gas extraction tax on oil companies — if you haven’t been listening to Tom Wolf’s attack ads against Corbett , we’re currently the only state that doesn’t — much of the money to be gained from the drilling will be out of the public’s hands.

In actuality, the harm caused by this project is potentially much more dramatic than the economic benefits for Allegheny County citizens. This is mainly because of the project’s proximity to highly populated areas within the county and to the water supply of its residents.

Steve Hvozdovich, the Marcellus Shale campaign coordinator for the national environmental lobbying organization, Clean Water Action’s Pittsburgh office, said, “I think our greatest concern is [the project’s] ability to impact local water and air supplies.”

He cited the way in which companies dispose of the excess wastewater from the fracking process as the reason for his concern.

The wastewater could either be “taken into an underground injection well,” which could leak into drinking water aquifers, “taken to a public water treatment facility and then discharged into rivers and streams” or the wastewater could be “recycled and taken to another site for use,” Hvozdovich said.

All potential options pose long-term problems, but the last — the recycling of the wastewater — is the best “short-term” option, according to Hvozdovich. But that option only moves the wastewater to a dif-

ferent plant. It doesn’t get rid of it.

The least Consol can do, seeing that the negatives have the potential to outweigh the benefits, is to make the actual process apparent to local residents.

“There has been some issue with transparency,” said Hvozdovich, “people don’t understand how close this is to populated areas and where wastewater is going to be disposed.”

This responsibility falls on the state government. Pennsylvania citizens, and in this case, Allegheny County citizens have a right to know about possible threats to their quality of life — specifically, when and how these threats occur. So it is up to regulators to keep a sharp eye on this dangerous extraction of natural gas and to promote openness in companies’ processes.

“The more that [fracking companies] don’t put out there, the more people are left to guess what is being done and the more people are left to trust their government,” Hvozdovich said.

As of right now, politicians and Consol have only addressed the possible benefits of the Pittsburgh Airport drilling project.

It’s time they address the possible threats as well.

Mars One mission: Not the place for reality television Bethel Habte Columnist

With an ambitious project aiming to create a permanent human settlement on Mars, the nonprofit foundation Mars One has given new meaning to the “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore” internet meme.

By 2023, the Dutch organization claims it will have established a permanent settlement on Earth’s red neighbor.

Of course, the project still has a long way to go before its eventual departure. Currently in its crew-selection phase, Mars One is attempting to weed out numerous applicants from around the world to form a few crews

of four — the current pool of applicants consists of nearly 700 people, while the original contained more than 200,000. Mars One expects at least six groups to make the initial trip.

The foundation recently partnered with Endemol — an international television company known for creating shows like “Deal or No Deal” and “Big Brother” — with plans to turn the scientifically oriented mission into a reality show. Mars One has, in turn, given Endemol-owned Darlow Smithson Productions (DSP) the rights to follow and film its vigorous selection and training process.

With the goal of selecting suitable candidates, the rising reality television element

poses a potential concern for the effect it could have on crew selection — and, as a result, the mission as a whole. A mission with a primary objective that was once solely focused on breaking the bounds of human discovery is now concerned with breaking the bounds of television history.

The more the mission steers towards reality television, the less successful its “human discovery” component will be. Even if the television element only plays a slight role, a selection process for this particular mission that has any amount of “watchability” in mind can undermine the mission’s success.

For a mission with stakes as high as Mars One’s, the selection and training process

should emphasize skills that will be practical for starting and sustaining a colony on Mars — like intellect, physicality and mental state.

Once landed, settlers will be tasked with researching and determining the logistics of life on Mars and, perhaps as an even more difficult task, they will also be responsible for creating its societal mold.

These challenges become even harder to achieve with superficial, non-scientific motives behind Mars One’s endeavors.

That’s not to say that Mars One has not acknowledged these very real challenges. The training program it created is quite extensive

HABTE and rigorous. For instance, the space travelers must experience isolation periods every two years of the their planned eight years of training. These “isolation periods” will be spent in simulation facilities, along with the other three members of the astronaut’s crew. The remainder of their training will encompass learning the skills necessary to sustain themselves while on Mars.

But again, many logistical, social and

physical challenges still remain unforeseen

by Mars One, which has inevitably set it up to become one of the most intriguing, yet extremely risky, social and scientific endeavors of our time.

While there’s no way of determining how different social and physical elements will arise, one thing is certain: The settlement that develops on Mars must do so on a foundation of self-reliance. Once the crews arrive on the distant planet, they will, naturally, be isolated from Earth and forced to sustain life and overcome any challenges that may emerge.

But a society is only as strong as the people in it. As Mars One undertakes crew selection, it must consider a variety of factors. How will the candidate integrate into this brand new society? How will the candidate be able to contribute to life on the settlement?

With the newfound plans to turn the mission into a reality show, the consideration on whether the training and selection process is viable on cable television has also come into play, which is a consideration that could jeopardize the original and noble goals of Mars One’s mission.

We can only hope that the mission does not succumb to the superficial and enticing culture that is reality television. For the sake of their original objective to transcend the bounds of human discovery and science — and for the sake of the sustainability of the settlement itself — they simply cannot afford to divert any focus from the harsh realities that will come along with travel to the interstellar and virtually unkown frontier.

So, my mission to you Mars One, should you choose to accept it, is to remain faithful to your original objective.

Panthers look to rebound after captainʼs injury Kevin Wheeler Staff Writer

Disappointment in their latest performance lingers around the womens’ soccer locker room, but the Panthers will have another chance to notch their second win of their goal for 11 wins this season.

After suffering a heartbreaking loss to Duquesne on Sunday from a goal scored in the 104th minute, the Panthers will look to improve upon their current 1-1 record Wednesday at Ambrose Urbanic Field at the Petersen Sports Complex as they take on the Robert Morris Colonials with a kickoff slated for 7 p.m.

Losing to Duquesne wasn’t the only bad news for the Panthers Sunday — senior captain Jackie Poucel suffered a concussion during the 63rd minute of the contest and will not play Wednesday. Poucel will be reevaluated in the next few days to determine her status for upcoming games.

Despite these setbacks, head coach Greg Miller remains focused on Wednesday’s task.

“The biggest thing for us is just getting everyone over what happened on Sunday,”

Miller said. “[We need to] refocus on our strengths and what we’re good at … it’s critical for us to come out with a new intensity and not to dwell on what happened the other day.”

The Panthers are working to keep its mind in a positive place, remembering that they are only two games into a young season.

Sophomore captain Siobhan McDonough has refocused, and is confident her team is doing the same.

“Last night’s game was disappointing, but we now look at it as an opportunity to rally,” McDonough said. “The loss is a bump in the road to our ultimate goal of the Year of 11. We’ll watch film and dissect the areas where we faulted and try to correct them before Wednesday.”

The injured captain, Poucel, also remains optimistic following the loss to Duquesne.

“We have a great opportunity to win a lot of games with this team,” Poucel said. “I’ve seen us do really great things on the field and in practice, and we have something special.”

Although Poucel will not play Wednesday, she still plans to lead her team in spirit from the sidelines and has her own strategy for the Panthers coming out on top.

“We have to play the way we know how to play: with aggression and fluid attacking patterns that puts [them] under pressure,” Poucel said. “We are much better than we played [on Sunday], and I just want to make sure my team keeps looking forward.”

Mental toughness is always a factor in sports, but the Panthers’ coaching staff knows they will also have to adjust tactically for the game against Robert Morris. To prepare, Miller has been researching the other team, and he has identified two aspects of the Colonials’ strength.

“If you don’t defend them properly and you don’t press them, then they have the ability to get out and move the ball across the field and to get the ball forward so they can attack with some purpose,” Miller said.

In addition to their ability to take advantage of lackadaisical defense, the Colonials can turn an opponent’s offensive charge back on them quickly.

“They counterattack well, so when a team loses possession they’re pretty effective at having players moving the ball forward to try and catch you off guard,” Miller said. “We have to be really organized and diligent with

our defending when we give the ball away.”

Part of the Panthers’ ability to stifle the Colonials’ counterattack will depend on their own offense’s efficiency. Offense was a weak spot for the Panthers over the course of last season, and those problems resurfaced again in their last game, even after putting up three goals last Friday against Akron. To succeed this season, and in the upcoming game, Miller knows his players have to be more assertive in their offensive attack.

“We’re much more of an attacking team than we were last year… but they’re young, and they’re still trying to figure out some things about themselves, about one another, and about how we’re trying to play,” Miller said. “I’m much more confident and comfortable with this group of players and I know they’re going to get better, and I think we’re going to become more dangerous as we move along.”

The Panthers have taken one step forward and one backward through the first two games of the 2014 season, which leaves them seeking 10 wins through their next 16 games in order to reach their goal in this “Year of 11.”

Pressure builds in Washington over football team name Sean Corrado Staff Writer Our nation’s capital is accustomed to dealing with pressure from protests like the Civil Rights March in 1963 or Occupy Wall Street in 2011, but now the Washington area may see demonstrations every Sunday outside of FedEx Field.

The 2013 NFL season brought a renewed effort to eliminate the name of Washington’s football team, now understood as a racial epithet targeted at Native Americans.

Protests occurred outside of Washington’s away games last season in Dallas, Denver and Minneapolis — cities with relatively high Native American populations.

In Nov. 2013, FedEx Field — Washington’s home stadium — saw a protest attended by representatives of other ethnic minorities led by Hakim Muhammad, a leader of the Coalition of Prince George’s County Leaders and Organizations. But the elimination process faded during the final weeks of the season as Washington’s playoff hopes came to an early end.

Although Washington made some important roster moves during the offseason, the media paid closer attention to the move it chose not to make.

In an interview with ESPN’s “Outside the Lines,” owner of the Washington team Dan Snyder said the Washington “fan base represents honor, represents respect, rep-

resents pride.”

Snyder has been under heavy fire for his stubbornness in defending his team’s name.

The label he equates with pride is the same as the one white settlers in western colonies used to describe the skin tone of natives, as well as a word to count the number of Native American scalps collected by trappers. The term developed into a derogatory distinction between the former Europeans and Native Americans.

It is no longer a question of whether or not the word is a racial slur. The NFL is waiting for Snyder to make a move on its troubled name and, according to a Vox Populi poll, nearly one-third of football fans in the DC Metro area find the team

name offensive.

Two years ago, I discussed Washington’s team name for an article and concluded that if Washington finally authorized a name change, it would receive overwhelming protests from large sports media corporations like ESPN and Sports Illustrated.

When I first brought up the issue, Derek Donovan, the public editor for the Kansas City Star, said he found the team name “unhealthy” and banned its use from the newspaper following a 2012 matchup between Washington and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Other newspapers, like the Seattle Times and San Francisco Chronicle, shortly fol-

The publicity of the controversy carried the debate into the political realm, where even more pressure began to fall on Snyder and his team.

On May 1, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Snyder to change the team name after results came out from the Donald Sterling fiasco and said, “It’s time for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to follow NBA counterpart Adam Silver’s lead and rid his league of bigotry and racism.”

Next, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office canceled Washington’s trademark in June. Although Washington’s lawyers are confident that the ruling will be overturned, the cancellation symbolizes a protest in the political community.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and current Attorney General Eric Holder have joined several other politicians in calling on Snyder to change the team’s name. President Barack Obama also said he would “think about changing” the team’s name if he owned Washington’s football team.

WASHINGTON lowed suit, and on Monday, the Washington Post said it will not use the team’s name in its editorials. Multiple online news outlets, like Slate and The New Republic, also jumped on the anti-Washington name wagon this summer — they just say “Washington,” as in “Washington scored a touchdown.”

But the pressure really intensified when two top NFL analysts, Phil Simms of CBS and Tony Dungy of NBC, announced this summer that they will no longer use the racial epithet while broadcasting. Simms was a Super Bowl-winning quarterback with the New York Giants in 1986, and Dungy coached the 2006 Indianapolis Colts to a title.

Another large identity in the football world further damaged Washington’s reputation when former NFL referee Mike Carey, who now works for CBS, announced that he had not worked a Washington game between 2006 until his retirement in 2013 because he disagreed with the use of the team name.
