Loghan Hawkes, a first-year neuroscience major, arrived back at their dorm in Litchfield Tower C around 1 a.m. on Sept. 11 after a night spent hanging out with friends. Ready for bed, Hawkes went to brush their teeth, but froze for a moment after making eye contact with a man outside their door that Hawkes had never seen before.
“I don’t know who that was, but I could tell that he wasn’t a college-aged person,” Hawkes said. “Probably close to 30, I would say.”
According to the Pitt police blotter, Pitt police arrested an individual for resisting arrest, simple trespassing, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness in Litchfield Tower C on Sept. 11.
From August 2020 to July 2022, Pitt required anyone entering a University building to swipe their Pitt ID before entry. Pitt began enforcing this policy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but some students said they think Pitt should bring building access restrictions back and that the policy helped improve campus safety. Currently, residential buildings and apartment-style accommodations require swipe access, but all other oncampus buildings do not.
When asked if there are any plans to bring swipe access back, Pitt police said policies and procedures are “reviewed continually.”
“Generally speaking, Pitt’s residential facilities and research facilities require card access,” Pitt police said. Hawkes went back into their room after seeing the man because they felt “freaked out,” and decided to wait to finish their nighttime routine. When Hawkes ventured back into the hallway, the man had left, but the floor was covered with torn down “door decorations” other residents had on display. About 30 minutes after seeing the mess in the hallway, Hawkes received an audio recording from a friend residing on the floor beneath them. They said the “strange” recording featured Pitt police approaching the man and removing him from the building.
Hawkes said they do not know how the man entered the building. They said security guards in Tower C are “usually good” about not letting individuals into the building who should not be there, but added that some guards are more diligent than others.
“It depends on who is doing the card swipe,” Hawkes said. “There’s one person, everyone knows her name, and she’s really friendly and always makes sure that you actually did check in, but then there’s some people who just let us [in] before you even tap your card.”
When asked how many reported instances exist of people entering residential buildings on campus with-
out access or without following the correct guidelines, an unnamed Pitt spokesperson said they could not provide the exact number.
Pitt police said in an email “personnel and technology” are utilized at on-campus residential buildings to keep students safe. Pitt police said they urge residents to be careful when bringing guests into residence halls and to be vigilant about following the proper guidelines when allowing guests.
According to Pitt’s 2022-23 Residential Handbook, some guidelines students must follow when bringing guests into their residence hall include that all visitors must be scanned in and out at the security desk, the resident must escort their visitors at all times, visitors 17 years of age or older must have a valid photo ID to visit and visitors without a valid approved photo ID must obtain a guest pass from Panther Central.
Safety concerns on Pitt’s Oakland campus also sparked following an Oct. 6 crime alert that detailed an alleged sexual assault in the Cathedral of Learning. Students gathered to protest the assault on Oct. 7, and a controversial online petition calling for increased police presence, building access restrictions, added security cameras and more received about 6,000 signatures by that night.
Maggie Layfield, a first-year film and media studies major, said she feels safe on Pitt’s campus, but thinks swipe access should be required for entry to University buildings. She said having that extra level of security would benefit students.
“They already have the technology for it from COVID, so I feel like if they can do it, they should,” Layfield said. “Especially for the Cathedral, anyone can just walk in and that could be unsafe at times.”
Layfield said she thinks Pitt should install more security cameras to increase safety, especially in stairwells.
“Having cameras in places that they don't already, so people can prove that they felt unsafe or something happened to them,” Layfield said. “I feel like that's the first step that should be taken.”
According to Pitt Police, there are more than 1,000 closed-circuit cameras placed throughout campus. They said the number of cameras distributed across campus is determined by “need.”
Aaron Kelemen, a sophomore undecided major, said he felt “weirded out” when Pitt took away its building access restrictions because they’d been in place since he first arrived in 2021.
“Now it feels like anybody can get into buildings anywhere,” Kelemen said. “I definitely would prefer if they kept it.”
Carissa Canzona, a sophomore public and professional writing major, said she’s felt unsafe on campus ever since Pitt stopped requiring swipe access, especially after the Cathedral incident.
“Pitt’s not a campus that’s closed off to the public,” Canzona said. “We’re literally just in the middle of a city, so I definitely think that they should bring it back. I feel safer with it.”
Canzona said other ways Pitt could improve safety
could include installing “blue lights” throughout South Oakland and offering more transportation for students living in off-campus housing.
According to Pitt’s website, a service called “SafeRider” is offered to Pitt and Chatham University students, faculty and staff for free transportation from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. when “special non-emergency needs arise.” Individuals can request rides between campus buildings, from local residences to campus buildings, from campus to local residences and when someone is not along an established bus or shuttle route. An individual is allowed one round trip per evening and a maximum of 25 trips per semester.
Although blue light systems and SafeRiders offer safety options across campus, some students still feel that swipe access provided a higher level of security.
Mayra Cruz, a sophomore biomedical engineering major, said she thinks Pitt should require swipe access in the Cathedral and Hillman library because “mostly students” use those buildings.
“I liked it better during COVID with how everyone had to swipe in,” Cruz said. “Even visitors had to do an online visitors pass, and I felt more safe.”
Alyssa Caddy, a sophomore psychology major, said she “hates” how Pitt removed building access restrictions and said she remained under the impression that swipe access was a “full time thing” before Pitt removed it. She said Pitt should “absolutely” bring swipe access back.
“The fact that anyone can just walk in, it’s not really comforting, especially when [the Cathedral] is the biggest academic building in the northern hemisphere,” Caddy said.
Not all students feel that swipe access should still be required. Chand Vadalia, a junior biology major, said having to swipe into buildings was “inconvenient.”
“I found that I was wasting time fumbling to get my ID,” Vadalia said. “There were some days, if I didn’t have my ID for whatever reason, I wouldn’t be able to go to class.”
Vadalia added that he would feel safer with security guards in buildings instead of swipe access.
“I think that we could have guards in the buildings who can tell if someone’s a student or if they’re a security threat,” Vadalia said.
Hawkes said they would feel safer if swipe access became required again, and that it’s the “best thing to add” in academic buildings on campus.
“It’s kind of like how I felt unsafe in my high school,” Hawkes said. “Things happen in schools sometimes and they didn’t have great security. You can just get into the building at any time, and that’s how it is for most of the academic buildings here.”
After Pittsburgh’s legendary hot dog shop “The O” closed in 2020, the corner of South Bouquet Street and Forbes Avenue has seen significant changes — and more are yet to come. Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop, which occupied part of the former site of The O since November 2021, has permanently closed.
Lily Stein, a junior gender, sexuality and women’s studies major, called Capriotti’s closure after less than 14 months “surprising.”
“I guess they were not successful, that means — like making profit, making any money,” Stein said. “It sounds like maybe they were not that great then, or there's other sandwich places around that are better that people prefer.”
Jeremy Tuckfelt and Brian Manni, who owned and operated the Capriotti’s location, could not be reached for comment.
MERO Restaurant Group currently leases the former site of The O, using most of the
space for its Viva Los Tacos location and previously subletting the rest to Capriotti’s. In addition to Viva Los Tacos, MERO owns CHiKN and Stack’d — and it appears set to take over the Capriotti’s location as well.
A Pitt student who works at Viva Los Tacos said her employers told the staff about MERO’s plans to take over Capriotti’s. According to the student, renovations have already started. The student asked to remain anonymous to avoid retaliation from her employer for sharing their plans.
The new restaurant, which could be named Meltz, would serve students a “cheese-focused” menu late into the night, according to the student.
“It’s gonna be late-night open and it's gonna be like, grilled cheese, mac and cheese, fried mac and cheese bites, things like that,” the student said.
Cory Shapert, the general manager of Viva Los Tacos, declined to confirm or deny this description of MERO’s plans for the location.
He said it is “too soon to comment on anything” at this time, though more information could become available in the coming weeks.
Stein said they liked the idea of Meltz, particularly its later operating hours.
“I love cheese and cheese-based foods, that's fun,” Stein said. “I also think more like, late-night places would just be nice in general.
I feel like a lot of places aren't open super late here, so to have like, a nice place to get a snack at night or especially on the weekends would be pretty awesome.”
MERO Restaurant Group had a certain audience in mind when deciding to turn Capriotti’s into a late-night grub spot, the anonymous student believes.
“I think it’s just because they wanted some kind of thing for drunk people. I feel like that's all, that's where their thoughts ended,” the student said. “I mean, it doesn't sound too bad. It'll probably do well — better than Capriotti’s, I'm sure.”
WINTERFEST AT THE FRICK OFFERS ART, WINTER ACTIVITIES
With such a large space to hold this event, Arianna Lower, event manager at The Frick, said they have a variety of activities spread across the many buildings.
“We are 10 acres, and we try to utilize every portion of it. We have glass blowing from Pittsburgh Glass Center, we have carriage rides, we have a skating rink, our art museum is free and open to everyone,” Lower said. “We also have Clayton tours for our historic mansion. And then we have winter site walks, just talking about winter
traditions in the Gilded Age.”
Attendees of Winterfest also saw glass blowing demonstrations from the Pittsburgh Glass Center. Trained educators from PGC demonstrated glassblowing at Winterfest as they talked about the art and science of glassmaking.
Sara Droz, a resident of Point Breeze, came to Winterfest with her niece and nephew and thought their favorite part of this event was the glass blowing demonstration.
“Watching these glass blowing demonstrations. I’ve always wanted to see this,” Droz said. “My niece and nephew, who are 9 and 10, are mesmerized and could sit here all day which never happens.”
Another Winterfest attendee, Jenny Tabrum, came to the event with her granddaughter and found the art museum enjoyable, especially given it was Henry Clay Frick’s private collection of art pieces.
“We went to the art museum … To know that it was somebody’s personal collection is a wonderful thing to see,” Tabrum said.
tory of the museum and how it grew from just the Frick mansion to the institution it is today.
“The Frick is an institution — it was originally just the Frick mansion, and he, Henry Clay Frick, whose family lived in the mansion, also continued to purchase the grounds here,” Dawson said. “So the grounds that we are on today is the extent of his land here in Pittsburgh.”
Dawson explained that Henry Clay Frick lived in the Frick mansion until he moved to New York City, at which point his daughter Helen worked to continue the legacy of the Frick family in Pittsburgh.
“She started the art museum, so that kind of continued the legacy of the Frick family into making it the space that you see today with the Car and Carriage Museum, the greenhouse, the art museum, we’re in the education center here right now, which was previously the garage where the cars were parked, which is kind of a cool tidbit,” Dawson said.
involved here because we all love making things right? It’s really fun to exercise those creative muscles and use our imaginations while we’re here,” Dawson said. “As you can see in the classroom right now, we have people of all ages doing the activities. I like to stress that to everyone, because adults need to make things too and it’s really fun.”
With the many activities available for people of all ages, Winterfest is a local, community event taking place on a piece of land that is intertwined with the history of Pittsburgh. Dawson said The Frick seeks to welcome and foster engagement with the Pittsburgh community.
“Obviously as a piece of private land before, it wasn’t open to everyone, but now we want to make it more of a space that is for the community and where we’re able to welcome people of all ages and backgrounds and just foster that love for history, science and art as best we can,” Dawson said.

One of the museum’s goals is to foster engagement in the community through the activities offered at events such as Winterfest, said CJ Dawson, a studio arts teacher at The Frick.
“I think it’s just a really great way to engage with your community, to welcome more people to the Frick and continue to expand and grow our audience and engage with people of all ages, because that is the goal here today with all the fun stuff happening,” Dawson said. “We really want to cement ourselves as a piece of this community, that we’re open to all and it’s a space for us to share and learn from each other.”

Among the many buildings at The Frick is the Education Center, where Dawson led artmaking activities this past weekend using tools such as watercolor and modeling clay.
“I am an art teacher here at The Frick. So we have a couple different artmaking events happening today,” Dawson said. “We are doing watercolor in the classroom, we are also doing experiments with model magic and making really fun creatures out of that.”
The Education Center had tables with people sitting among one another picking up paintbrushes and trying out the watercolor. Dawson emphasized the importance of getting involved in creative activities regardless of your age.

Going into the 2023 season, there’s no reason to believe fans won’t see more of the same from Pitt softball. Luckily for the Panthers, when the status quo is mediocrity, any glimmer of excellence is an opportunity to turn this largely irrelevant team into contenders within the conference.
The program seemed primed to turn things around during former head coach Holly Aprile’s last couple of years at the helm. In 2015, the team made it all the way to the final round of the ACC tournament where they fell 6-2 to Florida State. The Panthers met the Seminoles again in the 2018 ACC Championship, where they lost in devastating fashion due to a seventh-inning three-run homer.
Since then, the Panthers have yet to match the success of their 2018 season. It remains the last season the team finished over .500 and the only season since the team’s transfer into the ACC that they recorded a winning record in conference play.
Head coach Jodi Hermanek has yet to put together a winning season since her hiring following the 2018 season. The Panthers finished the 2022 season ranked last in the ACC, going 14-27 overall and 2-20 within the conference. To make things worse, the Panthers hosted the 2022 ACC Championship at their home turf of Vartabedian Field, where they could do nothing but watch solemnly while their conference rivals competed against each other.
While the team has yet to put it together as a group, some standout players will return to the field for the 2023 season. Graduate student in-fielder Yvonne Whaley remains the team’s most potent offensive threat. In 2022, Whaley led the team in batting average, hits, runs and stolen bases. Her efforts earned her a spot on the All-ACC Third Team.
Likewise, fans should expect junior outfielder Cami Compson to give the Panthers some much-needed help on offense. Compson performed admirably in her first two seasons at Pitt, with her first season garnering her the distinctions of All-ACC Third Team and All-ACC Freshman Team. In 2022, Compson led the team in home runs and slugging percentage.
Redshirt sophomore pitcher Dani Drogemuller seems poised to grow into her starting
role on the defensive side of the ball. In her first full season with the Panthers, Drogemuller threw 144 strikeouts in 28 appearances on the mound — ultimately finishing with a 3.57 ERA. Drogemuller performed exceptionally well on day two of the Wings ETC Classic, where she threw a career-high 12 strikeouts against the USC Upstate Spartans.
In the off-season, Pitt signed sophomore pitcher Adriana Romano — a welcome addition to the Panthers’ bullpen. Prior to her transfer to Pitt, Romano played her first season with the Siena College Saints, where she started 15 games and recorded a team-leading 2.45 ERA. Junior pitcher Julia Grobman also signed during the off-season, marking her first appearance on an NCAA field since her first season at Yale was cut short because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
When playing at their most efficient, the Panthers can contend with any other team in the ACC, as evidenced by last season’s upset win over Florida State, marking the highestranked win in the history of the program. The problem is that the Panthers seldom play at their most efficient.
No doubt, the Panthers have talent on both sides of the ball. Whether Hermanek and the rest of the coaching staff help them live up to their potential as a complete unit remains a question heading into the season. But given that they finished last in their conference last year, Pitt softball has nowhere to go but up.
The Panthers start their season in Clearwater, Florida on Feb. 10 at 11 a.m. where they will face the Indiana Hoosiers in the NFCA Leadoff Classic. Later in the day, the Panthers will go up against the Prairie View A&M Black Panthers. From there, the team will remain on the road until finally returning to Pennsylvania for a game at Penn State on March 21.
The Panthers need to improve their standing in the ACC this season. Luckily, they will have ample opportunity to prove themselves against conference foes early in the season. Pitt’s home opener at Vartabedian Field on March 24 pits them against the Virginia Cavaliers, who finished No. 6 in the ACC in 2022. Then, starting in mid-April, Pittsburgh will host a gauntlet of conference rivals at home — including Georgia Tech, Duke and North Carolina State.
With the recent influx of artificial intelligence programs that can create art, write essays and help write code, some students have started to use AI to help them with schoolwork. And professors have picked up on the trend as well. Some syllabi have begun to dissuade students from using AI with their schoolwork because it is like plagiarism, which is typically when someone copies work from the internet or another person. Having a robot help write a paper or create a project leads to a gray area of whether or not using AI counts as plagiarism. While AI can be a tool to help students jumpstart the creative process, it should remain a tool and not a crutch. Relying solely on these kinds of programs to do your coursework can cheat students out of a good education. Many of these programs can help brainstorm ideas, so a user can input an idea and have AI help generate where to go next. Sometimes it helps to have something to bounce your ideas off of, particularly in fields such as creative writing or advertising. However, using AI becomes a problem when you rely solely on the ideas and work a computer creates.
Sometimes, AI takes away opportunities from people who have creative skills. Recently, DALL-E, an AI program used to generate art, essentially stole art from real artists
without compensation or acknowledgment. Even when AI says it's creating something from scratch, it’s ultimately using other people’s artwork to mimic an original piece. If it's made from artists’ or writers’ previously created work, then it is not original and should be considered plagiarism.
Relying solely on AI also detracts from the importance of the creative process. If students begin to rely on AI to do their art projects, then they
will never truly know how to create their own art. It also wastes the thousands of dollars a year people spend on art school.
In the same vein, using AI programs such as ChatGBT to write essays or creative writing projects totally defeats the purpose of learning how to write well. There are some programs that can help students with the brainstorming process, as that is usually the most difficult part of writing. However, using ChatGBT to fully write your paper takes away from your writing education.
Not to mention that there is a lack of human emotion that is often missing from AI generated writing. The best writing and the best art come from the human emotions behind it. Using AI to create art and writing takes away any creativity and relies solely on creating something as fast as possible.
Relying on AI makes humans become lazy and lack the skills necessary to operate in the workforce. Someone who exclusively used AI to do all of their work throughout their college career will struggle when entering the workforce. Using AI as a crutch will only go so far — be human and work creatively.
If you’re familiar with my byline, you know that I am chronically online. And in my most recent perusal of the digital hellscape that is TikTok, I encountered a Tok that made me Tik, if you will.
For the subsect of our readership that cannot access the TikTok, the video features a shapely young gentleman on a rowing machine. The text over his body reads, “Don’t bother bro she’s (sic) talking to a guy who can’t even bench a plate and cries when his flavoured air runs out. At least you look aesthetic and have functioning lungs.”
I tumbled further down the rabbit hole and found several other content creators who use the same formula — a muscular young man lamenting over a woman’s rejection and exacting his revenge by getting buff. Perhaps he intends to motivate similarly scorned lunkheads to return to the fortress of swole-itude and bulk up for the ladies.
If these videos accurately speak to the gym bro culture, then my dear, sweet steel-slinging studmuffins — you, sirs, have lost the plot. Your mindsets demonstrate a breed of manhood that refuses to truly understand women, much to its own detriment.
To preface — working out is great. If you want to have a muscular or toned physique, don’t get crazy and start eating unseasoned boiled chicken, because that can spiral into an eating disorder, but definitely go to the gym! I work out 4-6 times a week. It’s a huge part of my treatment plan for depression. I am very pro-exercise and pro-gym, just not pro-toxic-gym bro.
What troubles me about the gym bro philosophy is the way they’ve framed working out. It’s always, “I’m heartbroken and no women want me, so I’m going to get absolutely jacked and make the gym my entire life. Then, I will be the paragon of heterosexual female desire.”
Take this video, for example. Our muscle man is back with morose ambient music, supplemented by text that reads, “The real me died years ago but nobody noticed because there was no blood.” The caption — #paintok #sadtok #relatable #fyp #foryou.
Uhhh, shouldn’t working out make you happy?
I scrolled a little further and found our boy deadlifting with text reading, “Boys, pretend it’s a girls comment section..” And since I’m a glutton for punishment, I explored the comments section which featured remarks such as “Slaaaaay!” and “Yasss queeeen (I can’t drive).”
Mr. Muscles created a space for his following –– which is ostensibly composed of other lovelorn lifters –– to clown on women. Even though it’s casual misogyny, it’s still misogyny. And I’m not lov-
ing the allusion to the tired “women can’t drive” bit.
It is also rather illuminating that these commenters’ knee-jerk reactions to female friendship is to laugh at it, as if the feminine tendency to support your friends is somehow low-brow and worthy of ridicule.
that heterosexual men and women both desire a sense of humor in a partner, but for men and women, respectively, “sense of humor” has two different definitions. For men, it’s a woman who laughs at his jokes, and for women, it’s a man who is funny.
I find this to be a microcosm of a deeper issue within men. They want women to listen to them, but listening back is an afterthought. They don’t consider women’s desires, dreams, hopes, likes or dislikes, because they simply don’t care. The facts tell us that women want kindness, intelligence and values that align with their own. This article, titled “A study of 68,000 people has determined what women really look for in a partner, and it's not money or a muscular body,” literally spells it out for the gym bros. It also details that only 22.3% of women have deemed an attractive body “very important.”
not true! The female gaze –– which, mind you, is a concept that is still developing –– admires a man who is vulnerable and genuine. So, on a dating app, for instance, a shirtless mirror pic won’t win a woman over –– in fact, that might even be grounds for a swipe left, as it suggests vanity and shallowness. On the other hand, if you’re holding a puppy, laughing or smiling, that, fellas, is a sight for sore female eyes.
Fikayomi Olagbami | Staff IllustratorMaybe poking fun at women is all in good fun, but these shallow digs at womanhood, coupled with the content creator’s active instigation of mockery –– reeks of misogyny. Here’s a real question for the boyz — do you even like women? Because if you don’t, maybe start playing for the other team.
It’s almost like they never talk to women and don’t bother to get to know them. Oh wait! They don’t, and they haven’t! Take this TikTok, for example. The text in the video reads, “It really went from ‘bro your killing it at the gym..’ (sic) to… ‘You don’t hang out with me anymore’ ‘You’ve changed’ ‘Ofc your not coming to the party’ ‘All you do is gym.’”
And the cherry on top? This TikTok, which reads, “Dating a gymrat is honestly like an, investment (sic) cause the longer you date them the hotter they get.”
I’ve used so many (sic)s in this article you’d think I have a stomach bug. Our gym bro can’t properly use commas or differentiate between “your” and “you’re” –– he’s also wildly unhappy, he hates women and he refuses to socialize outside of the gym. But he still thinks he’s the catch of the day because his big muscles are sexy?
All this tells me is that men of this subculture are the architects of their own destruction because they don’t care to understand the women in their lives nor any fundamental aspects of womanhood. When comedian Nikki Glaser was on Conan, she explained how multiple studies have shown
Our gym bros have paid attention to their own male gaze, which objectifies and reduces women to eye candy. They apply the male gaze to themselves as well, believing that since they themselves only look for an impeccable physique in women, women look for the same thing in men. But that’s
I’m not telling the gym bros to put down the weights forever. I just want them to understand that they’re desperately pursuing a standard of desirability that men admire in other men rather than a standard of desirability that women have set. In doing so, they’re sealing a fate of dissatisfaction and bitterness. Instead, they could benefit from getting to know the women around them. Women don’t just say “yaaaas queen.” They’re actually pretty cool, and they CAN drive.
