SGB BEEFS UP WORKOUT FACILITIES
‘SAY IT LOUD’ SAYS IT PROUD
Maureen Hartwell For The Pitt News
Over winter break, the William Pitt Union gym received new equipment and revamped its layout at the request of Pitt’s Student Government Board. This project, headed by Pitt SGB with the Department of Campus Recreation, rearranged the equipment, placed a workout mat in front of the mirrors and added two sets of kettlebells and dumbbells. At a more-crowded-than-usual public meeting Tuesday night, Jessa Chong, the board’s vice president and chief of cabinet, said the project aimed to solve the issue of limited space in the WPU gym. Aside from two frequently occupied workout rooms, Chong said, students previously had little space to complete workouts other than cardio. Chong also said this renovation fulfills her campaign promise of more workout areas on lower campus. “Because the Pete is just not accessible in between classes,” she said. Chong said that these renovations are temporary, filling in the gaps until there are more workout facilities on lower campus. She said the next public meeting will discuss more updates to campus recreation centers, including the possibility of a larger recreation center on lower campus. Chong is also involved in the sustainability Town Hall, another new SGB effort. Each Town Hall seeks to gather student feedback about a particular issue. Past Town Halls have focused on University policies and dining services, and the board has two more planned for the spring, including one on sustainability. SGB President Maggie Kennedy said the sustainability Town Hall, tentatively scheduled for March, aims to engage faculty, administrators and See SGB on page 2

BAS CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF PRIDE, PROGRESS Neena Hagen Staff Writer
During the height of the Civil Rights movement, in 1969, 40 members from Pitt’s newly minted Black Action Society shut themselves inside a Cathedral of Learning computer lab for seven hours to protest racial injustices on campus. Pitt’s African American Alumni Council commemorated that effort yesterday by holding a 50th anniversary celebration called “Say It Loud,” a black power reference and the title of a memoir coming out in 2019 about the Pitt sit-in featuring testimony from first-hand witnesses, many of whom spoke at the event. “Your presence today signifies your devotion and commitment to the achieve-
ments of people of color,” Council President Nicole Parks said, gesturing to the nearly 200 people in the Kurtzman room of the William Pitt Union. That historic sit-in served as the primary impetus for then-Chancellor Wesley Posvar to create Pitt’s Africana Studies program and institute a quota system to accept more black students into the University. “This group’s request of the University shouldn’t have been that controversial,” Chancellor Patrick Gallagher said. “That seed that was planted 50 years ago … it has deeper roots and has ushered in real change.” Witnesses of the 1969 protest shared their experiences as protesters and ordinary black college students. Pitt alum
Lorna Hubbard read out her University acceptance letter, which drew gasps from the audience. “Despite our reservations, your record does offer sufficient hope for your success to justify our calculated risk,” the letter read. “Your mission presupposes that you will approach your task here with seriousness and maturity.” Hubbard graduated with an degree in education in 1970. But even with her own success, she and her few black classmates, including former Pittsburgh education officer Curtiss Porter, lamented the lack of black students and black professors at Pitt in the late 1960s. “We still weren’t seeing a black studies See Say It Loud on page 2

students in a conversation about how to implement sustainable policies. The meeting specifically plans to address recycling in off-campus housing, since Kennedy said students who live off campus don’t always have easy access to recycling options. “Their landlord doesn’t provide them with a bin, they don’t know when it goes out,” Kennedy said. “They don’t know what they can and cannot recycle.” Though SGB hopes to hear more feedback at the Town Hall, Kennedy said the board wants to purchase and distribute recycling bins to those off campus who do not already have them. But sustainability isn’t the only way SGB plans to improve the Pitt community this semester. Ritika Bajpai, chair of the community and governmental relations committee, hopes to take a group of students to Pitt Day in Harrisburg in an effort to convince lawmakers to continue funding Pitt and Pennsylvania’s other state-related institutions. The annual event, which will take place on March 26 this year, takes students, alumni, faculty and administration to the state capital to lobby the General Assembly. When Bajpai attended the event in the past, Pitt advocated for issues like medical amnesty. “We talked about what we were doing on the campus level and asked for their support,” Bajpai said.
Say It Loud, pg. 1 program … [or] black instructors, so we had to be strategically disruptive,” Porter said. “Black power was like a curse word back in those days.” Hubbard was also concerned about safety when taking part in Civil Rights protests in 1969. The sit-in took place in the middle of the Civil Rights movement, one year after South Carolina police massacred black students who for protesting an all-white bowling alley and less than a year after King’s assassination shook America. “We had no idea how long we would be in that computer center … we just went in knowing who we were and what we were owed,” Hubbard said. “We didn’t know if it would be peaceful.” But after mere hours of sitting in the computer center, Posvar went in and negotiated with the students. “There were no injuries, damages to property or police called,” Hubbard said. “It was very peaceful.” Posvar signed a contract largely agreeing to the students’ demands. He hired more black faculty and introduced the University’s first Africana studies program. The first Africana studies program in the country was founded in 1969 at Cornell University after a similar student-led takeover of a campus building. “With the takeover of the computer center we lived up to our name — the Black Action Society,” Porter said to

Bajpai also said SGB tackles university policy at the national level. She said ACC Advocacy Days, held in February, take the SGB board and the community and governmental relations committee chair to Washington to advocate for funding alongside other ACC schools. But she’s looking forward to returning to Pitt Day in Harrisburg.
Bajpai said that when she attended as a first-year, she networked with members of the legislature, alumni and current students. “It really is more than just going there to get more money,” Bajpai said. “It’s about sharing our experiences.”
The Student Government Board is planning to host a sustainability student Town Hall in late March. Thomas Yang | assistant visual editor applause from the audience. The contract also ushered in a scholarship and recruitment program for black students that aimed to attract more students of color to the University. Among those recruited students was Linda Boyd, a teenager from Baltimore, who’d always hoped to attend a historically black college. “I turned 17 and one week later my mom sent me off to Pittsburgh with two suitcases, a brown paper bag and white gloves,” Boyd said. “My lifelong dream was to go to Howard, but [Black Action Society’s] cause brought me here.” The Black Action Society was the only campus organization devoted to the interests of black Pitt students in the late 1960s, but now there are more. Emily Arthur, a representative from Pitt’s African Student Organization, and Edenis Augustin, the president of Black Action Society, both spoke at the event to show their appreciation for the activists who made their existence possible. “There are certain mindsets and values that only minorities can truly understand,” Arthur said to the audience. “Today on Pitt’s campus, black students are able to come together to better handle those cultural differences.” Augustin pointed to a quote from a white student in a Pitt News article covering the sit-in to illustrate how much campus culture has changed. According to the article, the unnamed white male junior said the voices of the protest-
January 16, 2019
ers wouldn’t be heard. “You watch, nothing will come of this,” the student said. Augustin said times have changed for black students at Pitt. “I would love to see his face now that 50 years later the Black Action Society is not only still around, but a driving force for black activism in the Pittsburgh community,” Augustin said. Gallagher echoed that statement in his address, calling the Black Action Society one of the most “vibrant groups” on campus, one that’s played an instrumental role in connecting Pitt to its black students. When Hubbard first enrolled at the University, she said one statistic stuck out in her mind. Only 0.5 percent of students were black. “Times are truly different now,” Hubbard said. Pitt’s black undergraduate population now sits at 5 percent. Though white students still make up 70 percent of the undergraduate student body, this year’s incoming class of students was the most diverse in University history. “This year we welcomed our most academically accomplished class in Pitt’s history and its most diverse,” Gallagher said. “The fact that those happened together is not an accident.” As the black community at Pitt continues to grow, many members look forward to the progress that is to come. “Say it loud across the nation, around the world. We are black and we are proud,” Parks said. “Proud members of this Pitt community.”

PITT IN LONDON: A FAN-FILLED ADVENTURE Victoria Pfefferle-Gillot Staff Writer
I have harbored a deep love and appreciation for the U.K. since I was a child. I developed a passion for Arthurian myths and legends, and British film, television and book series like Peter Pan, Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia. Besides my love for the U.K. and the many captivating fictional narratives it’s home to, a driving factor in my decision to study abroad was hearing from all of the seniors and alum who said their one regret was not taking the opportunity to travel. I didn’t want to have the same regret, especially when I knew I had the ability to study abroad. Pent up inside me was a burning desire to experience the wonder of this culture that I had only ever seen and imagined through fiction. Even though at first the thought of being so far away from home was scary, I knew I wanted to go more than anything. So I planned to study abroad the fall term of my junior year through the English department’s Pitt in London program. They partner with CAPA — a global education network stationed in various cities around the world. I applied, attended several informational meetings and discussed my plans with my adviser before I left for my program at the end of August. My mom flew with me to London a week and a half before the program started to get me settled in the city. Early in the morning of Sept. 5, we shared a tearful goodbye at Heathrow Airport and she gave me her cross necklace to wear before she flew back home. I spent the rest of the day repacking and going over my schedule for what was to come. I was nervous to be on my own, but I felt excited to spend the next three months in London. I wanted to make the most out of my experience by giving myself time to explore and have fun, so I scheduled classes Monday through Thursday, assuring I would have free time on Friday. Every Friday morning I went to work out at Psycle, an indoor cycling studio, and after I would get breakfast and

Visitors can climb the towers of Caernarfon castle that sit atop the medieval fortress located in northwest Wales. Victoria Pfefferle-Gillot| staff writer explore some part of London by foot. Sometimes I shopped for souvenirs or visited the many museums throughout the city — nearly all of which are free to the public. I took five classes at CAPA that centered around various aspects and idiosyncrasies of British literature, history and culture. Each of my classes took various field trips throughout the city, including trips to Abbey Road, Camden Market and the iconic London Eye. But perhaps one of the most memorable trips was to the South Bank with my Writing the City class. To engage with the city with all our senses, our professor instructed us to spend three hours walking from one end of the south bank of the Thames to the other. While we walked, we watched various artists begin and complete elaborate sand sculptures, marking the time gone by. The sand artists set up buckets below the railing for people to throw in money. I stopped and stared. The talent and dedication this took without promise of compensation was awe inspiring. There were a few excursions students could go on throughout the semester. One of them went to Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford. Stratford-upon-
Avon is Shakespeare’s birthplace, and Oxford, aside from being a famed and historic university, is where many movies and television shows are filmed, including “Harry Potter,” “X-Men: First Class” and “A Discovery of Witches.” Actually being in the place that I had only seen through the lens of film and television was like a dream to me, and in mid-October, I went on a Warner Bros. Studio Tour London that consisted of sightseeing places shot in the Harry Potter films along with some of the sets. It also included me being a huge nerd. I loved every second of the tour, and being at the studio was like stepping into a world full of childhood wonder. I’ll admit, several times during the tour I couldn’t hold back tears. Because I grew up loving Arthurian myths and legends, one of my favorite television shows is BBC’s “Merlin.” The two main cast members — Bradley James (Arthur) and Colin Morgan (Merlin) — went on a trip across Wales to see various locales related to the legend. Their trip inspired me to go on one of my own during our week-long fall break. I planned a four-day itinerary to travel north from Newport to Bangor all by myself, traveling both by train and bus

in between each stop. On the first day, I went to Caerleon — a Roman town that was said to be one of the many possible sites of Camelot. Legend says that after the Romans left Britain, Arthur set up court at Caerleon and that a thousand of Arthur’s soldiers are sleeping underground waiting for when Wales is in need of them. The next day I visited Carmarthen — supposedly Merlin’s birthplace. According to Arthurian lore, Merlin was born there by a human mother and a spirit. In the main town square, a carved wooden statue of Merlin stands to greet pedestrians. The third day was filled with typical tourist activities as I stopped at the Corris Craft Centre in Snowdonia National Park to see King Arthur’s Labyrinth — a story tour that went beneath the surrounding mountains and through narrow winding caverns telling Welsh tales, including Arthur’s time as king, through staged sets within the cavern. While this was not a site of fictional or historical relevance, experiencing these stories in this new and interactive way was something truly memorable for me. My plan from there was to take buses up to Dinas Emrys — an important site in legend where young Merlin foretold of the red and white dragons battling beneath the hill. Unfortunately, I got caught an hour behind — thanks to daylight saving time — and it got pitch black at about 4:30 p.m. I made the difficult decision to go to my Airbnb in the next town, Caernarfon, and skip Dinas Emrys for the time being. While that upset me, the next day I discovered the amazing Caernarfon Castle and gleefully spent the morning scouring every inch of it, climbing every one of its towers. I could rant forever about everywhere I went and everything I loved about my time abroad. I really did love everything, even the stressful and frustrating parts. It was truly a life-changing experience because traveling alone to places I always dreamed of fostered my sense of self-confidence and independence, and it was one of the greatest highlights of my time in college as well.

from the editorial board
GOP hard on King, soft on Trump Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King has drawn a firestorm of criticism and consequence from his Republican colleagues following his recent remarks to The New York Times in which he embraced white nationalism and white supremacy. But Republican leadership has waited too long to condemn King and still remains quiet on President Donald Trump’s similar remarks. “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” King told The New York Times. The Republican leadership was quick to respond. Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell suggested King “find another line of work” and the House of Representatives voted 424-1 in favor of a resolution disapproving of King’s remarks — even King himself voted for the resolution despite claiming his statement was taken out of context. The House Republican Steering Committee, responsible for overseeing committee assignments, met Monday night and promptly stripped King of his assignments on the Judiciary, Agriculture and Small Business committees. Top Republican leaders made the right move in condemning King and stripping him of his power, but it comes after a long pattern of similarly disturbing re-
marks that have previously failed to draw GOP condemnation. King made his far-right rhetoric clear in the 2016 primaries, proposing electric wiring on a border wall to treat immigrants like livestock and described migrants as drug traffickers with “calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.” King tweeted in 2017, “We can’t restore our civilization with someone else’s babies,” and doubled down, adding he “meant exactly what [he] said.” King’s racist remarks resurfaced in 2018 when he compared Mexicans to dirt at a campaign stop. In August, he participated in an interview by with Austria’s Freedom Party, founded by a former Nazi officer, in which he railed against the decline of Western civilization and claimed white Europeans were being replaced by immigrants. King’s controversies stretch back years, but only now has he felt the consequences for his remark on white nationalism. When asked why King seemed to have gotten away with similar behavior, Republican officials were eager to deflect the blame. “I haven’t been following every utterance of Congressman King,” Sen. Mitch McConnell told reporters.
“I certainly followed this one, and I think the House Republican conference did the right thing.” The same leadership is also reluctant to push back against President Trump when Trump makes similar remarks. Trump has suggested there were “some very fine people” among white nationalist protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, and invoked a historic massacre of Native Americans to mock Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Trump’s ties to King’s remarks run deeper than simple parallels in rhetoric. Trump has openly embraced King’s far-right stance in the past. While Trump was considering a presidential run in 2014, he described King as a “special guy, a smart person, with really the right views on almost everything.” And as a swift Republican response to King’s comments has consumed Congress, Trump declined to condemn King, feigning ignorance. “I haven’t been following it. I really haven’t been following it,” Trump told reporters. The Republican leadership likely hopes their actions against King will be seen as a genuine stand against white supremacy, not something done when it is politically convenient. The GOP’s silence on Trump says otherwise.

PITT GYMNASTS EMBRACE TEAM ENVIRONMENT Alexa Marzina Staff Writer
For a lot of college-bound athletes, being the center of attention on their high school team usually guarantees recruitment offers from multiple schools. But gymnasts who want to make it to the NCAA should stay away from high school teams. In fact, a lot of high schools don’t even have a competitive gymnastics program. In the gymnastics world, the path to success lies in joining a club team. For Pitt gymnastics head coach Sam Snider, the best place to recruit potential collegiate gymnasts is at the Junior Olympic National Championships in the spring. This meet hosts the best Level 10 athletes — the highest level of competition in non-Olympic gymnastics — from the country’s eight regions. “It’s like a one-stop shop, basically,” Snider said. But winning nationals doesn’t automatically mean you’ll get invited to compete for your dream college. “We definitely watch the interactions between the athlete and their other team members, and then the athlete and their coach,” Snider said. “Those are some intangible things that you can look for to kind of gauge personality, work ethic, all those other things that go into making a really great athlete beyond talent.” Attitude assessment is crucial for determining if an athlete can fit in with a gymnastics team and Snider prioritizes a positive and hard-working attitude as much as having a high skill level. There isn’t any room for slackers or troublemakers. “We really are a close group,” Snider said. “We’re about love, we’re about respect, we’re about positivity and working hard.” Gymnastics demands not only technical skills, but also mental and emotional strength, and superb time management. All of this starts at a very young age for gymnasts, since it takes a long time for people make it to Level 10 by their high school years. Olivia Miller, a first-year who competes in the all-around for Pitt gymnastics, said she is very thankful for her club coach, Ryan Schulz of Pittsburgh-based Gymkhana, for helping guide her

One of the major differences between college and club gymnastics is that in college gymnastics, gymnasts compete for a team rather than individually. Thomas Yang | assistant visual editor through all the ups and downs of club gymnastics. “She made me mentally and physically tough,” Miller said. “It requires a lot to start out young and then go all the way through high school with gymnastics, and she really helped me with the whole recruiting process.” Young gymnasts only compete in a few meets each year, and have fewer chances to get noticed by colleges than athletes from sports like basketball or baseball. Because of that, gymnasts looking to be noticed by recruiters need to focus most on their individual performances — a significant difference from the environment of college gymnastics. Senior Charli Spivey competes on vault, beam and floor for Pitt, and trained in high school with Alabama Elite Gymnastics Academy, a club with a long-standing reputation for producing collegiatelevel athletes. College gymnastics was always Spivey’s dream, and to get there, she focused on herself. “In club gymnastics, it’s very about yourself, it’s very individualized. You’re basically competing against your teammates,” Spivey said. “In college gymnastics, it’s all about the team.”
The difficulty in transitioning from the mindset of individual to team success depends on multiple factors, according to Snider, like how long an athlete has trained with their club coach, how much they trust their new college coach and how quickly they “buy in” to the program they’ve entered. “We do a lot of team building, a lot of things outside the gym to get to know each other, with our athletes amongst each other, and then also us as coaches,” she said. For athletes like Spivey, though, buying into the Pitt gymnastics environment after her club experience was easy. “It’s such an easy transition because all of a sudden you’re brought into this family, you’re in this team atmosphere, and it’s so much more fun because the purpose is so much different,” she said. “All of a sudden, your goal is to fight for something that’s more than yourself, and I love this atmosphere. I love that when I go out there and compete, it’s not about me anymore — it’s about pushing toward goals for our team. And doing that is just so much more rewarding.”
January 16, 2019
Miller also transitioned easily to the family atmosphere at Pitt. She said Gymkhana’s competitive team is small, which made the competition and team aspects have interesting dynamics. But that experience ultimately helped her when she joined Pitt gymnastics. “You want to be the best, and you don’t wish bad on anybody, but it’s definitely a competitive nature,” she said. “So being on a small team, you become really close and really support each other … yet I’m also competitive with them and we push each other to be our best.” While “best” in gymnastics is pretty objective — scores on each event are out of 10 points and the highest score wins — scores aren’t the most important indication of fitting into a college gymnastics program. “We call ourselves a ‘teaching program,’ meaning we want to continue to push new skills, teach new skills, train new things, and our goal is to have you at your very best by the time you graduate,” Snider said. “We don’t want you to have peaked before you got here.”
