Whoʼs it gonna be?

University non-committal on search for new Dean of Students Dale Shoemaker Assistant News Editor Provost Patricia Beeson will announce details on filling the position of Dean of Students once they’re available, according to Ken Service. Kenyon Bonner, who has served as director of student life for the past 11 years and associate dean of students for the past seven, has been named interim vice provost and dean of students. Kathy Humphrey previously held the position before her promotion on Wednesday. In the meantime, the University has “full confidence in Kenyon Bonner and the staff in Student Affairs to help continue to provide our students with an exceptional collegiate experience,” said Service, vice chancellor of communications.

The position for dean is open after Humphrey’s appointment to senior vice chancellor for engagement and chief of staff. Prior to this appointment, she had served as vice provost and dean of students for the past nine years. Humphrey worked closely with students and student groups and said in a University release that she will miss her day-to-day interactions with them. Humphrey’s work in her new position will “concentrate on both internal and external relations, focusing on facilitating business engagement, strategic initiatives and partnerships, government interaction at all levels,” the release said, alongside Chancellor Gallagher and senior managers. Since the University is still deciding the exact parameters of the search, according to Service, “nothing is definite at this point.”

Haller Foundation presents Katz with $5 million donation Dale Shoemaker Assistant News Editor A $5 million gift from the Henry E. Haller Jr. Foundation to Pitt’s Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business and College of Business Administration will fund the schools’ “most critical issues.” The foundation, based in Pittsburgh, will give the money to Katz in $1 million installments over the next five years. The dean of the business school can spend the money at his or her discretion at the end of the 2015 fall term. “This gift creates an opportunity to seed money into new facilities and equipment,” Delaney said. “We’re trying to make the student experience stronger.” Haller, who passed away in March 2012, established the Henry E. Haller Jr. Foundation in 2000, along with his wife, Linda B.

Haller, who is currently its executive director, the release said. Through the Haller gift, all future business school deans will hold the title Henry E. Haller Jr. Dean. “ The Haller Foundation’s gift will advance business education at the University for years to come,” Chancellor Patrick Gallagher said in a statement. “For that, we are most grateful.” The inaugural Henry E. Haller Jr. Dean will be John T. Delaney, current dean of the Katz Graduate School of Business and College of Business Administration, who

is also retiring, according to a University press release. “Some of these issues are related to students, faculty and programs,” he said. The money spent on students, Delaney said, will not fund traditional scholarships. Instead, he said, it will assist with unpaid, international internships and study abroad trips. Some of the money will also be used to “retain good faculty” if a professor at the school receives an enticing offer elsewhere, Delaney said.

“The Haller Foundation’s gift will advance business education for years to come.”

Chancellor Gallagher

The next dean of the Katz school will control most of the money. A search committee began looking for Delaney’s successor last November. Delaney, who is now transitioning out of his position as dean, said that if the changeover takes place over the summer, he will not be able to spend any of the money himself. If the search committee doesn’t find a replacement dean in the next year, however, Delaney said he may be able to begin spending the first installment. Regardless of how much of the money he can spend, Delaney said he would like to “prime the pump” and find other money that is currently at his discretion to start programs and projects that the Haller money can fund a year from now. Delaney said he is excited about the gift. “This is a great opportunity. Mr. Haller would have been proud,” he said.

Glittersweet Symphony If you want to mess up someone’s day, Australian-based company Ship Your Enemies Glitter has the most sparkly weapon you’ve ever sheen. The company claims that, for $9.99 in Aussie dollars, it will ship your archnemesis an uncomfortable amount of glitter, along with a crude note. Unfortunately, due to demand, the company is out of stock, so it will be a few weeks before you can send shimmers down your rival’s spine.

No Wrinkles, Just Tinkles Manners are rather important, as illustrated by one Vermont man last month. Wearing all black to remain inconspicuous, the mystery man entered Waterbury Laundry & Dry — but not to do laundry. Video footage documented the man walking up to a washing machine, pulling a chair up to it, looking both ways, unzipping his pants and urinating. .Luckily, though, he made sure to put the lid back down, and it seems he opted for the “yellows only” spin cycle. Still, the workers weren’t impressed with his manners. In fact, they were pretty pee-ved.

Saved by the Camp-bell In Eastern Alabama, one middle school principal has quite the can-do attitude when approaching the topic of defending the school against intruders. Priscella Holly, the principal, sent home a letter to parents

last week, asking their children to bring in an eight ounce canned item. Why? To throw at criminals, of course! While this may seem a bit ludicrous, there is merit in preparation. The Pitt News canned think of a better plan to protect students.

Jurassic Yard There’s no bones about it: two men in Michigan are getting tons of publicity for their recent discovery — in fact, five tons of it. Last November, Daniel LaPoint Jr., a contractor, was digging in homeowner Eric Witzke’s backyard when he noticed a rather prime rib sticking out of the ground. The two worked together to unearth 42 pieces of a mastodon — the cousin of the woolly mammoth. The ancient cousin of the elephant is estimated to be between 10,000 and 14,000 years old. The pair will donate the bones to the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology, making what is, no doubt, a massive contribution.

A Sticky Situation Last week, a 9-year-old Idaho resident got himself into a crummy — and gummy — situation. The minor has an arrest warrant out against him for stealing a pack of gum. Scott Haug, police chief, commented that in the last 30 years of his law enforcement career, he had never witnessed someone so young have an arrest warrant out. Currently, the child is in chew-venile detention.

COLUMN

Teen shows prove promising for sexual diversity Adrianne Glenn Columnist

When it comes to film and television, we’re acclimated to the “Brangelinas” of the world, the Bella and Edward “Twilight” romances and the CinderellaPrince Charming archetype. In short, we know all about cisgender, straight couples. But what about genderqueer people or gays? Statistic after statistic shows that sexual minorities are underrepresented in media across the board. LGBTQIA+ people make up less than 5 percent of characters in media, and people of color make up less than 11 percent, according to USC’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. This

is despite the fact that these numbers are nowhere near representative of the actual population. Yet, there may be hope for representation in media. Acceptance and exposure for LGBTQIA+ individuals is growing in the teen show sector. In it, queer representation is increasingly dynamic and inclusive. With shows like Netflix’s “Orange Is The New Black” gaining popularity, viewers can see that stories from sexual minority groups are just as endearing as heterosexual romances. There are finally programs that deviate from the traditional gay male archetype of a flamboyant character used solely for the sake of comedy. A prime example of a queer-

tolerant teen show is MTV’s “Faking It,” which showcases sexually diverse groups in a realistic light. Shows with queer characters often focus too closely on a gay/straight dynamic in which coming out is the center of their story, but the storyline of “Faking It” is not so oversimplified. It moves past the watered-down spin. The show has a premise that is seemingly simplistic at first — two girls pretend to be lesbians to be popular in their high school. It becomes far less shallow as the show plays out, however, as the protagonist, Amy, realizes that she actually does have feelings for her

MEN’S BASKETBALL

SPORTS

Pitt looks to build momentum Saturday against Georgia Tech Chris Puzia Sports Editor

Aron Phillips-Nwankwo might have known that his opportunity was coming on Wednesday night. His head coach had, after all, hinted at it earlier in the week. After a few big plays during Wednesday night’s 73-64 win over Florida State, the senior walk-on could have predicted the spark he would provide his Pitt men’s basketball team. “In practice, I’m the guy that plays hard, brings the energy, plays defense,” Phillips-Nwankwo said. “So I planned on, if I got in, doing the same thing. A few plays went my way, so it was good for us.” Now, three days later, the rest of the Panthers prepare for another home contest, this time against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (9-7, 0-4 ACC). Much of the team’s success in its last game came from winning the rebounding battle. Despite Florida State boasting three players who were more than seven feet tall, Pitt (12-5, 2-2 ACC) outrebounded the Seminoles 39-31. Much of that effort came from sophomore forward Michael Young, who scored 16 points and grabbed a teamhigh 12 rebounds. “In the last few practices ... we brought the box-out drill back,” Young said. “We got out-rebounded by 17 [against Clemson], that’s an embarrassment. That’s an attack on everybody’s pride.” Young knew that much of the rebounding burden fell on his shoulders, both in the win Wednesday and the loss before that. “It was all on me,” he said. “I didn’t do enough [against Clemson]. I felt like I didn’t come out ready to play.” Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon said he noticed an improvement in Young’s play around the basket but added that rebounding is a team effort.

“We took good shots, so it gave us an opportunity to get rebounds,” Dixon said. “Mike played well defensively. We

really tried to get the message across the last two days, and I thought the guys responded. We’ve got some guys having to play differently than they’ve played before, and that’s the adjustment and

again on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets’ tallest player is the 6-foot-10 freshman center Ben Lammers, but the team’s leading rebounder is junior forward Charles Mitchell, who averages 7.9 per game. As

a team, Georgia Tech ranks 31st in the country with 39.1 rebounds per game. The visitors have lost their first four ACC games. However,one was a doubleovertime loss against No. 14 Notre Dame on Jan. 3, and the largest margin of defeat in that span was seven points. Georgia Tech head coach Brian Gregory said the team must maintain its focus despite a recent inability to win close games. “It’s frustrating. No doubt about it,” Gregory said. “At the same time, you have to keep battling through and know that you have done a lot of good things, but not enough of them or not at the critical times.” Junior forward Marcus GeorgesHunt, who averages 12.9 points per game, leads the Yellow Jackets. In the team’s last win — a 67-66 victory over Charlotte on Dec. 30 — Georges-Hunt paced the team with 25 points. Georgia Tech may see a number of different defensive schemes from the Panthers on Saturday — Dixon switched up his defensive formations several times against Florida State. “I had to change up things in the first half and kind of get them out of a rhythm with the zone and press a little bit,” said Dixon, who earned his 300th career win on Wednesday night. “We battled through it.” Dixon was also quick to praise Phillips-Nwankwo, who finished with seven points and two rebounds in 12 minutes. “Aron was terrific for us,” he said. “I figured he’d give us energy, but I don’t know if I could predict he’d play that well ... No kid has worked harder, no kid has improved more in college basketball than he has in five years.” Phillips-Nwankwo may again see court time against Georgia Tech after he took advantage of his minutes on Wednesday. The redshirt senior and the rest of his Pitt team take the court at 4 p.m. on Saturday.

GLENN It” is that Amy’s journey does not stop there. She doesn’t notice her feelings for Karma, come out to her parents and then live her life as a bona fide lesbian. She deeply considers her sexuality and even loses her virginity to a man. The writers don’t rush to define her, and she doesn’t feel a need to define herself. The lines between gay and straight are blurred in this show, and sexual fluidity can finally see the light. “Faking It” also features an intersex character, which is important, because intersex people are so underrepresented that the “I” is often left out of even the LGBTQIA+ acronym. There are not any recurring trans characters on the show, but Laverne Cox guest starred as a trans drama instructor. Additionally, there is a compelling dynamic between one of the gay male characters on the show, Shane, and his best friend, Liam. Liam is straight, but their relationship never features any

sort of discomfort. He is never afraid that Shane will develop feelings for him. In other words, Liam does not perpetuate the ludicrous idea that just because you are gay, you want to have a relationship with everyone else of your gender. Other shows m a r ke t e d f o r teens, like ABC Family’s “Pretty Little Liars” and “ The Fosters” represent queer people as well. One of the four main protagonists of “Pretty Little Liars” is a lesbian, and “The Fosters” features a lesbian interracial couple. Additionally, the protagonist of the feature “Chasing Life” is openly bisexual, which is important given the far-too-common bisexual erasure in media. Seeing stories of diverse groups of people in media is important because it

inspires empathy. Watching movies or television shows with a protagonist who is gay or a member of any other minority can teach viewers about what it’s like to be in the position of those minorities, ultimately enabling people to be more accepting and sympathetic. Representation of minorities in media also normalizes those minorities. Repeatedly seeing queer characters on television makes being queer seem more conceivable to those who do not personally know openly queer individuals. This is especially important for those who live in small towns and have limited knowledge or exposure to queer people. Everyone deserves to see someone they can relate to represented in media. People of any gender, orientation or race

“The writers don’t rush to define her, and she doesn’t feel a need to define herself.”

7 should feel included. Ruth Callander, a columnist for AfterEllen.com, describes the representation phenomenon well. “It’s a long-established fact that queers hate osmosis. We’ve always liked to buck the science by moving naturally from the areas of lowest concentration to the highest concentration of, well, us.” While Callander takes a comical approach to the issue of queer people having little exposure to similar individuals, it’s no joke. A CNN column by John D. Sutter cited Franklin County, Miss., as “the county where no one’s gay.” And he’s right — there are no same-sex couples in the entire county. The future of queer representation in media seems undoubtedly bright, but we still need to integrate other sexual minorities into common culture, rather than just having a few token individuals from minority groups.

Everyone at Pitt knows that we have two main sports: basketball and football.

Best Nationality Room Austrian Room

Always a headturner, the Cathedral of Learning’s Austrian Room incorporates Baroque elements from the 18th century to create a space reminiscent of

the Austrian Empire during the Enlightenment Age. The room features Lobmeyer crystal chandeliers, white lacquered chairs and maroon-tapestried walls. The best part, though, is that Pitt students actually get to learn in this classroom. Way cooler than your typical desks and blackboard.

Leadership, sisterhood and sororities — as the Best Dorm of 2014 and the location of Pitt’s sororities, Amos Hall is a place that promotes the free exchange of ideas and women’s empowerment.
