WATER MAIN BREAK

SHUTS DOWN CATHEDRAL

Pitt police and maintenance respond to flooding in the Cathedral of Learning.

John Hamilton | MANAGING EDITOR

The Pitt News Staff Pitt evacuated the Cathedral of Learning at about 10 a.m. Monday morning after a water main break caused the first three floors and the lower level of the building to flood.

The break originated from a fire suppression line on the third floor, according to Pitt spokesperson Joseph Miksch, causing water to flow down to the floors below.

“Soon after the water source was determined and shut off, the entire building was closed and safely evacuated Monday morning,” Miksch said in an email.

People who were above the third floor could not leave the building until about two hours after the initial evacuation occurred.

Kevin Weldon, a junior mechanical engineering major, said his Introduction to Ethics class abandoned their classroom on the second floor at 9:30 a.m. when the ceiling started to leak.

“The hallways around the women’s room [on floor two] already had one to two inches of water at that point,” he said.

Videos taken by students on the second floor show water pouring down the stairwells to the lower floors.

From the outside, water seemed to be leaking mainly from the first-floor doors on the Fifth Avenue and Heinz Chapel sides of the building. University maintenance workers drained water from the building using brooms and power equipment.

According to Jaime Rucker, a Pitt maintenance worker, at 11:15 a.m. the water was still leaking as workers began removing water, struggling to keep up.

After assessing the damage, Miksch said crews determined the Nationality Rooms were not damaged, though some water was visible in some of the first-floor Nationality Rooms.

Classes scheduled until 6 p.m. were cancelled, but some evening classes relocated. The University expects to reopen the building by Tuesday at 6 a.m.

“An update will be provided [Monday] evening through emergency notification messages, the University’s homepage and social media channels,” Miksch said.

STUDENTS SHUT DOWN BIGOTRY

Students form an impromptu counter-protest outside of Tower’s lobby.

Janine Faust Assistant News Editor A crowd of Pitt students jammed the stairway leading up to Towers Patio on Monday, waving rainbow flags and sporting “I [heart] the female orgasm” t-shirts.

Others stood on nearby trashcans and benches and leaned over the patio rails, fervently chanting “God loves everyone” and “shame on you.”

The chants by the more than 200 Pitt students were all directed to a smaller crowd teetering on the edge of the sidewalk, clutching signs reading “homos go to hell” and chanting — before the counter protesters drowned them out — “God hates you.”

The protesters carried signs saying they were part of the Philadelphia-based “Christian Interviews.” On largest sign was the website christianinterviews.com, a site that does not exist. They arrived on Towers Patio around 1 p.m, according to Kaleigh Bradley, the communications manager for Rainbow Alliance — Pitt’s LGBTQ+ advocacy group.

“I was outside with a friend and saw them and was like ‘what’s going on?’” she said.

Bradley said Pitt police arrived around 1:15 p.m. and arrested one man involved in the protest. Pitt spokesperson Joseph Miksch confirmed the arrest, adding that Pitt police charged the man with defiant trespassing.

Following the arrest, the small group made their way down the Towers patio stairs to the sidewalk — an area considered public domain.

Along with other students, Bradley followed them down — brandishing her hastily made “I love vagina” sign.

After seeing on Snapchat that a few counterprotesters had gathered to drown out the racist and homophobic chants, first-year student Mia Shikora joined the students gathered by Towers.

Standing on a bench, she chanted “Love wins!” and joined other students in singing the national anthem.

“These people were chanting all kinds of racist and homophobic stuff, and we’re just trying to See Protest on page 2

Students yell and play instruments to drown out protesters’ chants.

Protest pg. 1 respond with positive things,” Shikora said.

Thomas Stroukoff, a first-year neuroscience major, said the crowd got progressively larger as the counter-protest went on and more students joined to express their disapproval.

“I think for the most part, everyone is pretty much in agreement that this is kind of a not-okay situation to have on our campus,” he said.

Miksch said in a statement that free speech and peaceful exchange of differing viewpoints are among the core values of the University.

“Events such as today’s are a reminder that even when tempers flare and when hateful speech comes to our campus, we can eschew violence and continue to carry the banner of our commitment to diversity and inclusion on our campus and in the world,” Miksch said.

Stroukoff said he felt the protestors and their cause were “absolutely idiotic.”

“Honestly, I wouldn’t take it too seriously, because they’re idiots,” he said. “I have not seen a single person that is not pissed off by this.”

Miksch also said the University did not sanction nor issue a permit for the protesters to be on Towers Patio. According to Chief of Pitt Police Jim Loftus, the police had no idea how this protest was going to occur, describing it as a “pop-up thing.”

“We came out here in case there was a safety issue, to make sure nobody got hurt, like pushed in front of a bus,” Loftus said.

No injuries were reported as Pitt students mobilized to publicly share their discontent with the protesters. Jeremy ReoNason, an undeclared first-year student, said he believed the counterprotest reflected well on Pitt students.

“Some of the language wasn’t exactly clean, but you can’t expect it to be. It isn’t with any protest,” he said. “But I mean there wasn’t any violence, there weren’t any threats — it was handled well.”

Loftus said he was both surprised and pleased by how the counter-protest played out.

“Students did a great job,” he said. “They came forward, they were vocal, not too confrontational. Best we could’ve expected.”

Bradley said Loftus was responsible for getting the protesters to leave. “[Loftus] got the people out, told them to cross the street,” she said. “I went up to him afterwards and thanked him for keeping people safe.”

ReoNason said the counter-protest reflected Pitt’s emphasis on respecting diversity and being inclusive. He said the takeaway was that people at Pitt don’t have to hide if they disagree with something.

“A lot of people showed up, just to tell these people off, to get them out of there. [The protesters] were against diversity and inclusion and Pitt students came out and told them otherwise,” he said.

Loftus shook hands with the counter-protesters as they dispersed.

“You did a great job,” he told them. “Drowned those guys out.”

Opinions

CLIMATE CHANGE SHOULD HIT CLOSE TO HOME

Brian Gentry

For The Pitt News The apple core I had just tossed had no sooner hit the bottom of the bin when I heard the familiar scolding from my mom. Once again, I had forgotten to put it in the compost bin.

As a kid, I didn’t really know why I needed to be environmentally conscious, whether it was recycling water bottles, turning off the lights after leaving a room or taking short showers to conserve water. Sure, we want to keep polar bears around for the next generation and make sure that coral reefs don’t die from bleaching, but I didn’t know of any reason to care in the grand scheme of things.

I’m definitely not alone. The New York Times surveyed Americans in March about how they perceived the threat of climate change. Though a majority of respondents agreed that climate change is a threat to some Americans, few believed that it would personally affect them.

This apathy about climate change is ignorant at best and dangerous at worst. Climate change is not just about saving the polar bears — it is fundamentally a humanitarian issue that will impact every person on Earth, and we can already see where climate is impacting society.

Take the Syrian Civil War, for example. The war started in 2011 as part of the Arab Spring, a social and political movement that swept across the Middle East and North Africa. Syrians protested against their government, citing grievances including food shortages and corrupt governance. The government responded by opening fire on protesters. Today, Syria is divided between government, rebel and terrorist control, with little hope of resolution in the near future.

This war cannot be understood without acknowledging the unprecedented drought that preceded it from 2006 to 2010. A 2016 study

pittnews.com

of historical rainfall amounts in the region from the Journal of Geophysical Research determined that this was likely the worst drought in over 500 years. Another analysis, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 2015, concluded that the drought was likely a result of anthropogenic climate change.

The drought devastated rural regions in Syria. The prices of grain and livestock more than doubled as agricultural production fell and herds perished. To survive, farmers in rural regions migrated to the cities, where population rose by more than 50 percent over eight years.

Combined with ineffective resource management, the drought inevitably led to conflict. To date, Human Rights Watch estimates that the war has killed about 470,000, created 4.8 million refugees and internally displaced another 6.1 million.

Syria isn’t the only country where climate change has caused civil strife. Yemen, a country on the Arabian Peninsula, had its own uprising in 2011 as part of the Arab Spring, and the government responded with lethal force. This led to a coup in late 2014, which turned into a civil war that remains a crisis today.

Given the changing climate, conflict was inevitable in Yemen. The country has experienced a drastic decrease in water supply. With decreasing water supplies, AlThawra, the country’s leading newspaper, found in 2015 that anywhere from 70 to 80 percent of all conflict in Yemen’s rural regions are based in a lack of access to water.

One cause of this water shortage is climate change. No rivers flow through Yemen, mean-

ing the only source of freshwater is rainfall.

Most of the country already receives very little rainfall, and the drying climate takes away what little freshwater Yemenis have.

This water shortage has led to Yemen’s current humanitarian crisis. According to a 2014 U.N. report, over half the country has no access to clean water and about 40 percent are food-insecure. Yemen is also currently experiencing the world’s largest outbreak of cholera, a disease primarily spread through unsanitary drinking water.

Of course, Syria and Yemen aren’t the only places where climate change has had a humanitarian impact already. Countless other countries are susceptible to humanitarian crises in the near future, particularly poor nations in Africa and the Caribbean. In our country’s own backyard, H u r ricanes Har ve y and Irma brought destruction on a massive

September 19, 2017

level — according to United Nations agency UNOSAT, more than 88 percent of buildings on the island of Barbuda were damaged or destroyed by the storms.

On a national level, there’s not much impact we can make. The Trump administration in June announced the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris Accords, effectively dismissing climate change.

This means it’s more important than ever to reduce our personal contributions to climate change. We can recycle our water bottles, turn off the lights when we leave the room and take shorter showers — all of which are great first steps on the path to halt climate change.

By being environmentally conscientious, we aren’t just saving wildlife. We’re preventing the civil strife over resources that we see in war-torn regions from becoming a global — and yes, a domestic — occurrence.

The people we help by fighting climate-induced crises won’t all be from farflung corners of the globe — some will be right down the street.

Wasteland-scapes Frick Fine Arts hosts two environmentally-concious art exhibits showcasing human impact on the environment.

Prachi Patel Staff Writer Floorboards creaked as visitors shuffled around to get a closer view of the medley of landscapes, which included underwater photographs, silk Chinese scrolls depicting sloping mountains and an Inuit print of a sea-goddess.

The University Art Gallery hosted a joint opening of two art exhibitions — “A Part from Nature” and “Shifting Ground” — last Tuesday in the Frick Fine Arts Building.

Both exhibits explore human traces on the environment, but include different artists.

“A Part from Nature” will be on display until Oct. 27, and features the photographs

pittnews.com

and videos of Canadian artist Isabelle Hayeur, whose work focuses on altered landscapes and human impact on the earth.

“I wanted to testify from the point of view of the environment itself,” Hayeur said at the opening.

The photographs displayed come from two separate series — “Excavations,” which portrays layers of the earth from underground, and “Underworlds,” which depicts underwater aquatic landscapes. In both, Hayeur strives to show landscapes from below.

“A large part of the world we don’t see, because it’s underneath,” Hayeur said. “A lake that is polluted has nice reflections — you can canoe on it, but if you look under it,

underneath the surface, then you can see the real damage.”

Hayeur captures the images in her “Underworlds” series with a camera submerged partly underwater, each photo bisecting a plane of polluted waters and land.

During the opening, Angie Cruz, an assistant professor in the English department, moved closer to study one of Hayeur’s prints glued onto the gallery wall — a larger-thanlife vertical landscape of muddy waters topped with a layer of trash.

“I think the pictures are really beautiful, very striking,” Cruz said. “Because it’s flat against the wall, it has this sense like it’s a portal, you’re drawn into it.”

Isabelle Chartier, the curator of the Uni-

September 19, 2017

versity Art Gallery, selected the artists and their artworks in the two exhibitions, choosing works that represent human imprints on nature.

“It looks like it’s separating nature from human, but really it’s all interconnected,” Chartier said of “Underworlds.” “We have people’s remnants at the top that are affecting what’s happening at the bottom.”

Chartier said the environmentally focused show originated in an interdisciplinary workshop she co-led this summer with Pitt academic curator Alex Taylor. The workshop focused on anthropocene — human activity physically altering layers of the earth’s See Patel on page 5

crust.

While deciding what artists to bring into the show, Chartier said Hayeur’s work immediately came to mind, particularly her “Excavations” series.

“All our garbage, all our human-fabricated leftovers is now part of the soil,” Chartier said, pointing to one of Hayeur’s prints titled “Quaternaire IV (Anthropocène),” which depicts an elongated landscape of dirt and rubble. “Our imprint is real.”

Hayeur’s “A Part from Nature” opened in conjunction with “Shifting Ground,” an exhibition featuring historic landscapes from the University Art Gallery’s permanent collections.

“I was able to find all these different representations of nature,” Chartier said, referring to the paintings which now hang off the walls of the back room of the University Art Gallery.

Diverse in content, the display includes everything from a depiction of a 17th century Dutch harbor, to a scroll of a Chinese cliffside and village, to a painting of Pittsburgh cloaked in smoke and flames during

the city’s booming steel era.

“I thought the objects or the groups of objects could get people to think about the fact that landscape is something that humans create and alter and change depending on their needs,” Chartier said.

“Shifting Ground” — which will run until Dec. 8. — also features the work of three local Pittsburgh artists, a decision Chartier made to voice contemporary concerns about our natural surroundings.

Christine Holtz, a photographer and one of the local artists, has an image from her project “50 Greenspace Dumpsites,” a series photographing illegal dumping sites in Pittsburgh, displayed in the exhibit.

“I realized a lot of the sites were in public parks, greenspaces and cemeteries,” Holtz said. “I thought that was a good way to get people interested in this idea of illegal dumping in the city of Pittsburgh.”

Holtz tracks down illegal dump sites using GPS coordinates, and then photographs landscapes of the seemingly pristine locations before revealing to viewers they’re actually looking at a dumping ground teeming with hidden trash.

“It’s a good wake-up call,” Holtz said.

“They start looking at it and go like, ‘Wow,

The Pitt News SuDoku 9/19/17 courtesy of dailysudoku.com

pittnews.com

there’s this many tons of trash in this place?’”

Across from Holtz’s work sits a sculpture of a carved terra-cotta figure resting on a slab of wood, its hand placed almost quizzically over its head as a bouquet of balloons made of steel arc toward it.

The sculptor, Duncan MacDiarmid, said his sculpture urges viewers to consider the environmental impact of man-made objects — in this case balloons.

“What you’re bringing into the pure environment is something that’s completely man-made,” Duncan said. “Technology has fabricated it. We’ve completely accepted it into our lives.”

Nearby MacDiarmid’s sculpture hangs a photograph of a deserted parking lot in New York City taken by Nina Young, a photographer based in Pittsburgh. Young’s photo is from her series “Still Time,” which centers around photographing brownfields — polluted former industrial sites. “[We’ve] just kind of sucked the life out of them. They need time to lie fallow,” Young said. “We have a chance to remake this landscape.”

Young said she aims to freeze her landscapes in time, urging viewers to reflect on how contaminated areas should be reju-

venated. She compares the stillness of her work to the call to action in Hayeur’s images.

“She puts herself underwater,” Young said. “You feel a sense of urgency in her work that you don’t feel in my work necessarily, because I’m more frozen. I want time.

[Hayeur’s message] is, ‘There’s no time!’”

Hayeur’s current work focuses on finding solutions to the pollution, climate change and the subsequent social inequalities she captures in her photographs and videos. Her latest project chronicles resistance groups opposing oil industry and hydroelectric power in Canada.

“I wanted to look at the solution, and what people do to fight these problems,” Hayeur said. “Just bring a little hope. Also, just to see that it is possible.”

Chartier believes “A Part from Nature” and “Shifting Ground” will challenge visitors to consider their role in affecting the landscapes around them.

“I hope some of the contemporary images can make us afraid about what’s already happening,” Chartier said. “Between nature and humans, if we realize we’re all entangled and everything has a consequence, even if it’s not immediately visible, I think that’s the importance.”

Error-prone Panthers struggle against top TEAMS

David Leftwich Senior Staff Writer

After fighting their way back from a two-set deficit against No. 25 Iowa State, the Panthers held serve with a chance to win the volleyball match in the fifth set.

In losing that point and eventually the match on Sept. 2., the team squandered a big win and fell to 1-3 on the season.

Despite now holding a winning record, the Panthers (7-4) wasted opportunities for big wins this season and showed glaring weaknesses that may hurt the team moving forward.

Pitt had a chance to pick up a few signature wins in early season matchups against No. 3 Washington, No. 9 Creighton and No. 25 Iowa State.

This is exactly the kind of schedule the Panthers needed. The returning members from last season’s NCAA Tournament team should have boosted the team’s chances to rack up a few quality wins during this stretch.

But things didn’t quite work out.

The Washington Huskies and Creighton Bluejays made quick work of the Panthers, each winning 3-0. The Iowa State Cyclones beat the Panthers in a heartbreaking five-set thriller to hand the Panthers their third loss of the season.

In each of these matches, the Panthers couldn’t pull out victories because of errors and sloppy play. Against each ranked opponent, the Panthers committed 10 or more errors and hit no less than five errors in a set.

Just over the course of the third set against Creighton, the Panthers hit a whopping 11 errors and gave up three aces. In total they gifted 14 of the 25 points the Bluejays scored in their 25-19

set win.

One of the Panthers’ major problems is integrating highly touted first-years Kayla Lund and Chinaza Ndee into the lineup.

Even though they have each put up double-digit kill performances, the two have been error-prone as well.

Lund hit nine errors against No. 3 Washington Friday, Aug. 25, and Ndee hit seven errors in the team’s loss to Iowa State Saturday, Sept. 2.

Any team can expect early season struggles from first-year players, but it’s surprising to see a decline in play from senior Mariah Bell and redshirt sophomore Stephanie Williams. It can be hard for a team like the Panthers to overcome these setbacks.

Bell’s performance is hurt by sharing

minutes with these first-year players. She is averaging 1.74 kills per set — 1.5 kills lower than her average last season. She is also less efficient, recording a hitting percentage of .178 percent compared to .197 percent last season.

And while Williams has remained a top contributor for the Panthers, she has performed inconsistently. Against East Tennessee State Saturday, Sept. 9, she put up a season-high 21 kills, but against Creighton, she only hit a season-low three kills.

The inconsistency shows in Williams’ stats, as she has dropped from averaging 3.77 kills per set last season to 2.97 kills per set this season.

The combined inexperience of Lund and Ndee, along with the early-season de-

September 19, 2017

cline of Bell and Williams, has produced a less productive, error-prone Panther offense and contributed to the team’s disappointing 4-4 start.

One the few positives during the first eight matches is sophomore Nika Markovic. She led the team with 3.61 kills per set and hit a career-high 26 kills against Western Kentucky Friday, Sept. 8.

While problems may still exist on the floor, the team made positive strides this past weekend at the Panther Challenge.

Pitt won all three of their matches in just three sets and hit fewer than 10 errors in each.

Bell and Williams helped the Panthers jump out to an 8-1 lead with kills in the third set against Cleveland State. After forcing Cleveland State to call a time-out, Lund chipped in, scoring on two of the next three points with a kill and an ace to extend the Panthers’ lead to 11-1.

Ending the third set in a 25-10 route, Lund, Bell and Williams each recorded kills, and the team only committed one error that set. These three players displayed their ability to play well together and produce offensively without making mistakes. That was exactly what the Panthers struggled with prior to the Panther Challenge.

Even though these teams were weaker opponents than what the Panthers faced earlier this season, Pitt’s offense functioned with a better rhythm and even showed flashes of the NCAA Tournament team from last season.

Are the Panthers a sloppy, error-prone team like they showed in their first eight games, or are they something close to a tournament team as they were in the Panther Challenge?

In the end, they’re probably a mixture of both. Either way, the Panthers have a lot of work ahead of them after this preseason to compete in the ACC and make it back to the NCAA Tournament.

The team will put their four-game win streak on the line this Friday, Sept. 22, as they open up their ACC schedule against Syracuse at the Fitzgerald Field House.
