WILLIAM PITT UNION CELEBRATES 120 YEARS Hannah Schneider Assistant News Editor Built in 1898, Hotel Schenley was designed to reflect entrepreneur Franklin Nicola’s vision for the Oakland community to become a center for culture and education. Fast-forward 120 years and Nicola’s dream has manifested — now through the presence of student organizations, affairs and activities. The William Pitt Union turned 120 on Monday and the building’s staff hosted a 120th birthday party to celebrate. More than 150 students passed through the Union, taking advantage of free food, trivia, prizes and other interactive activities. The first floor featured a board that said “I love my Union because,” where
students were able to post heart-shaped cards to the board. According to Olivia Lynch, one of the assistant managers for the Union, the building has a complex history. It began as a hotel, with guests such as Babe Ruth, Lillian Russell and numerous U.S. presidents. Pitt purchased the building in 1956 — and after a $1 million renovation, the top four floors were converted into a men’s dormitory called Schenley House, while the floors below were repurposed into a student union. In 1983, the Schenley House was renamed the William Pitt Union, with the sole purpose of housing student activities and organizations. Lynch said it’s important to recognize the history of the
building in celebrating its age. “The William Pitt Union’s such a historic building,” Lynch said. “I don’t think it gets recognized a lot, so I think it’s great to kind of celebrate the 120th.” During the Union’s 100th anniversary celebration, Lynch remembers people dressing up to honor the Union’s original design as a hotel. She said that celebration partially inspired the decision to host a 120th anniversary celebration. “They actually dressed up, just like it would be at the Schenley Hotel,” Lynch said. “They had carriages and it was a time period, so we decided to do something just a little special for the 120th birthday.” See WPU on page 2
For 23 Japanese fishermen, the sun rose in the west on March 1, 1954. An enormous cloud rose from the ocean near the Marshall Islands, filling the sky with light. The fishermen argued over what it could be, but the truth would ripple through the rest of their lives as pain, hospitalization and stigma. They were victims of the Castle Bravo nuclear test, the largest thermonuclear bomb the United States would ever detonate. Japan’s relationship with nuclear weapons usually brings to mind events such as the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or even popular characters like Godzilla. But the damage of nuclear weapons extends much further and director Keith Reimink’s new documentary, “Day of the Western Sunrise,” focuses on the personal fallout. The film premiered at Row House Cinema over the weekend, with a showing Saturday night and two on Sunday. “It’s a small theater and kind of intimate,” Reimink said. “So rather than have one big screening, [we had] three smaller ones so people have more access to the film and the filmmakers and there’s a bit more laid-back feeling about it.” Reimink stumbled upon the story of the 23 fishermen and their boat, the Daigo Fukuryu Maru — or Lucky Dragon No. 5 — in Eric Schlosser’s “Command and Control,” which investigates the mismanagement of U.S. nuclear weapons. Nestled among the 656 pages are 10 paragraphs about the Lucky Dragon No. 5, which Reimink honed in on as another story in its entirety. See Documentary on page 5

Lynch said along with housing student affairs and organizations, the building accommodates spaces for fundraising events, presentations, studying and recreation. But the spaces aren’t always used to their full potential. “There’s a lot of things we house in our building, and I don’t think a lot of students utilize our space,” Lynch said. “That’s why we’re kind of promoting it and doing a big birthday party, to recognize, like, hey, come visit our space. We have a lot of great things that we can offer.” While initially attracted by the prospect of free food, junior literature major Emma Wolinsky said the birthday celebration and events like it prompt students to go to places on campus where they usually wouldn’t go. “[These events] attract students to certain locations in which they other-

munity within the student population. “It’s like a great way to, like, form a sense of community and get people involved in different things,” Butt said. “It’s like, besides Cathy, another center of the campus where people either meet up just to do work or get food or go to clubs and stuff.” Kaitlyn Downey, a first-year biology major, said while the Union offers a central location for student organizations and activities, it also offers a general meeting place for students. Since the Union is frequently holding events, Downey said she sometimes visits the building in search of something to do. “You can bring your friends to them. Like, we tell people on our floor like, ‘Oh, there’s something going on down here, let’s go,’ and then it’s nice to hang out with them,” Downey said. “Being down here, it’s really nice, because they always have something going on. And if I’m bored, I can just come and see what’s happening.”

Campus Master Plan requires strong community involvement At a time when companies like Facebook, Amazon and Google hold Pittsburgh’s developmental fate in their hands, Pitt is also looking to the future and proposing ambitious developments of its own. On Friday, the University released a draft of the Campus Master Plan, which will attempt to create more housing and academic buildings as well as reroute transportation across campus. A project of this magnitude, which is projected to take 30 years to complete, is a massive undertaking that requires a continued dialogue between the University and both students and the Oakland community. Those who will be affected by new developments in the area must speak out about how the proposed changes will affect them and their neighborhoods. For more than a year, about 8,700 students, faculty and community members have contributed to the development of the Campus Master Plan over 40 listening sessions with local organizations and 20 interviews with Chancellor Gallagher and various leadership teams. This is a good start to such an extensive project, but it’s only the beginning. The plan proposes updated housing on upper and lower campuses as well as updates to Litchfield Towers. In preparation for future development by UPMC, specifically the new UPMC Heart and Transplant Hospital, the plan proposes to redevelop and connect Lothrop Hall and Falk Clinic, which would further connect nursing students living in Lothrop to the place they do their studies. The Master Plan also proposes “an athletic-oriented neighborhood” on upper campus that “promotes fitness and

organized sports.” This would involve improvements to the Petersen Events Center and Trees Hall, an expansion of the Petersen Sports Complex and the creation of a Human Performance Center and a 400-meter outdoor track. Transportation is also an intended focus of the plan. It aims to “enhance pedestrian and biking experience” as well as “provide convenient visitor and event parking.” Bigelow Boulevard will get mid-block crossing improvements and the landscape will be revamped on Bigelow and Forbes Avenue. These goals are extensive and will definitely change the campus and surrounding neighborhoods. However, the University maintains that the plan can handle changes to the area over the next 30 years. “A good campus plan builds in flexibility, so that it can accommodate shifting academic priorities and economic conditions,” according to Pitt spokesperson Joe Miksch. This flexibility, however, cannot be realized without constant community input on how developments affect and continue to affect their lives. Earlier this year, the Student Government Board presented a draft of the plan for students to comment on. Many raised concerns that it emphasized athletics more than the arts. These forums are the perfect opportunity to air these complaints, and they should continue to add to the dialogue surrounding the proposals. Five public meetings on Oct. 8 and 9 are slated to allow students, faculty, staff, student government and the community to discuss the plan. For Pitt to leave a lasting, positive mark on the area, meetings like these will be crucial.

COMMUNITIES PLAY MAJOR ROLE IN SOLVING ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Brian Gentry
Contributing Editor The audience filled rows of chairs at the Twentieth Century Club, intently watching Mustafa Santiago Ali speak as he moved through the aisles and gestured toward a slideshow of pictures. At the end of his talk, Ali stopped and told the audience to hold hands with the people to their left and right, stand up and say “Power!” “Power!” the audience resoundingly responded, letting go of each other’s hands and raising their right fists into the air on his command. Ali, who was the EPA’s assistant associate administrator for environmental justice and senior advisor for environmental justice and community revitalization, was there to discuss the difference that community response to environmental issues can make. The purpose of his demonstration was to show how even a small community of complete strangers could make their voices heard. And he’s right about that. Local organizations have great power when responding to environmental issues and the threats they pose. But demands for sustainable infrastructure and meaningful environmental change don’t just have the obvious health benefit — they provide more economic opportunities to residents and can breathe much-needed life into a community. In his talk, Ali discussed the revitalization of the Northside neighborhood in Spartanburg, S.C., which offers an excellent example of how a community can band together and demand greener infrastructural change. Local residents formed the Northside Development Corp in 2010, a nonprofit that focuses on reviving the Northside neighborhood of the city. The NDC fundraised millions of dollars to fund projects that tackled stormwater issues. A lack of sustainable infrastructure in Northside prevented severe

Ward, a historically black and Hispanic neighborhood with a median household income of just $25,000, houses many of these facilities. This has had a drastic impact on public health in the area. Cancer rates in eastern Harris County, the county that contains Houston, are much higher than other areas. Other health conditions such as asthma and cardiovascular disorders are also more prevalent. But it’s also had a noticeable impact on economic opportunity. The presence of industrial facilities lowers home values, preventing residents from leaving the community they grew up in. This lack of geographic mobility inhibits the development of the area, perpetuating a cycle where residents cannot escape their economic situations. Politics won’t change this situation. When an industry is so deeply rooted in an area, no changes in legislation can unseat large corporations — and this is why community members must step up to make the change themselves. Through community engagement, residents can implement infrastructural changes that improve air quality and offer better access to food, health care and economic opportunities in the future. There’s still more work to be done, particularly with air quality. And local environmental groups, such as PennEnvironment, are stepping up and advocating for cleaner air. Just this summer, the organization teamed up with other groups to organize a clean air rally, encouraging County Executive Rich Fitzgerald to support environmental causes over profits. As state and national governments fail to adequately protect residents from industrial emissions and a changing climate, local communities must step up to effect change on their own behalf. Ali is confident that communities can take on the task. “Those who have the vision are the ones who are going to benefit,” Ali said.

Reimink began his research in early 2014, finding the Daigo Fukuryu Maru Exhibition Hall in Tokyo, which features a reconstructed version of the fishing vessel. Producer Takako Kasuya helped set up and facilitate interviews with three of the six fishermen still alive at the time. With the help of translator Akiko Ogawa, Reimink and his cousin Pete Bigelow sat down with each fisherman for two hours, but Reimink didn’t know the actual content of the interviews until subtitler Kanako Mhatre gave him the transcripts seven months later. “It was a very difficult process in terms of interviewing,” Reimink said. “We had 30 to 40 questions and we just went down the list and crossed our fingers and hoped we got the answers we were looking for. Probably not the best way to make a film, but it worked for us.” Reimink received Pittsburgh Foundation and Heinz Endowment grants to develop the project after returning to the United States. He brought on animator Josh Lopata, who created each character and moving item in the film. Lopata drew by hand in a style inspired by kamishibai, a traditional Japanese storytelling form popular during the Great Depression. For Reimink, it immediately felt like the right choice for the film. “When we heard about this storytelling, we knew we had to use it. It just seemed to fit using a Japanese art form to tell the story,” Reimink said. “The film is entirely in Japanese. We kind of realized we needed the animation to be reminiscent of that. We did our best to stay true to that kind of storytelling method.” To maintain the sole use of Japanese throughout the film, time and settings flash onto the screen in Japanese. Only the translator’s voice asks questions throughout the documentary and CMU visiting scholar Takaaki Matsumoto provides the narration. Matsumoto met Reimink through the Japanese Conversation Club at Carnegie Library and he was eager to help with the project. “I met Keith and he was looking for a narrator and according to him, he liked my voice,” Matsumoto said. “As a foreigner, I

with an animated scene of a woman stumbling through the hell-like remains of Nagasaki Aug. 9, 1945, after the United States dropped the second atomic bomb ever used in war. As the woman kneels before water, the frame pans away over the boat and the title card appears. The film then skips to Yaizu’s port, nine years later, the water no longer red from reflecting flames. Instead, it’s peaceful, with the soothing sound of ocean and seagulls in the background. The three fishermen — Matashichi Oishi, Susumu Misaki and Masaho Ikeda — explain how they got involved in the fishing industry. The scenes are intimate, each in their homes with no one else in frame except in Misaki’s segments, where his wife sits to his left. The film continues to alternate between animated flashbacks and filmed sections of the fishermen recounting their roles on the ship and their fear of working and living on the old, creaky boat. The fishermen faced stigma from their peers once they returned home and early deaths of other Lucky Dragon No. 5 fishermen and birth defects in their children were difficult to bear. The film closes with the three fishermen’s reflections on the incident and what they do as their remaining time on Earth winds down. “I thought it was fantastic,” Dacin Kemmerer said. Her boyfriend is Keith’s brotherin-law and she was one of many family and friends who attended the premiere. “There were so many different depths to it. There was the historical part and an educational aspect, but you also got the personal connection with each of the characters, too.” The educational part is important to Keith, who also created an educational tool kit for teachers who want to bring this story to their classrooms. Now that the premiere is over, he hopes to show it at film festivals and eventually bring it to Japan if they are interested. He is also involved with several international peace and educational organizations he hopes will let him screen the documentary around the world. “I want to be a storyteller first,” Reimink said. “The fishermen [in the documentary] were ver≠= it gives the project a bit more longevity.”

LE’VEON BELL DUE TO R ETUR N WEEK 7 Trent Leonard Sports Editor It was a tough weekend for Pittsburgh football fans. First, the Pitt Panthers got trounced by Central Florida, 45-14, Saturday. That loss dropped Pitt’s record to 2-3 and marked its third loss in four games. On Sunday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers followed up by losing their second game in three tries, also bringing the team’s record below .500. But downtrodden Pittsburgh fans received some hopeful news Monday with word that Steelers’ running back Le’Veon Bell is expected to return in Week 7. “Le’Veon Bell expects to report to the Steelers during the Week 7 bye, a source told ESPN,” Steelers reporter Jeremy Fowler tweeted. “Bell definitely plans to play football for the Steelers this season.” This comes as a new development in the ongoing Bell holdout saga. It began in the summer, when the 2017 All-Pro running back turned down Pittsburgh’s long-term offer of five years and $70 million, instead demanding somewhere in the neighborhood of $17 million a year — an unprecedented amount for the running-back position. The Steelers instead offered Bell a shortterm deal under the $14.5 million franchise tag, a deal Bell turned down, saying it didn’t deliver enough long-term security for a player who provided a large portion of the team’s offense. The two sides held firm through training camp, and tensions reached a high point when Bell’s own linemen ridiculed him in the lead-up to Week 1. NFL Week 1 came and went with no sign of Bell returning. In his stead, Pitt product James Conner impressed in the opener with 192 yards from scrimmage and two

Pittsburgh scored zero points in the sec- the team’s Super Bowl-era “Legion of Boom”

— was also engaged in a contract holdout with his team in the offseason, demanding the Seahawks either renegotiate his deal or trade him. Unlike Bell, Thomas caved and begrudgingly reported to training camp on a short-term deal, but skipped practices each week to preserve his aging body. He didn’t want to risk suffering a long-term injury while playing on a short-term contract. Thomas’ worst fears were realized Sunday when he broke his leg during a game versus the Arizona Cardinals, ending his season. While being carted off the field, Thomas expressed his frustrations at the organization with one final gesture — a middle finger directed at the Seattle sideline. Instead of interpreting this gesture as an act of disrespect or vulgarity, public opinion seemed to sway in favor of Thomas, whom many felt had been given a raw deal by the Seahawks after many years of dedicated service. The injury only further served Bell’s cause — that it’s not worth risking a careerending injury while playing on a contract that only provides one year of security. Bell himself weighed in on the issue by commenting on an ESPN Instagram picture, saying “I’ll continue to be the ‘bad guy’ for ALL of us.” Well, it looks like Bell will only continue to be the “bad guy” for a few more weeks, and will miss just two more games with the team versus the Falcons and Bengals. It appears the ache of watching the Steelers languish in his absence was just too much to bear — although it more likely has to do with the fact that he’ll show up just in time to still make $9.4 million of his franchise tender. Regardless, Pittsburgh fans will rejoice upon seeing one of the best runners in the game back in black and gold.
