TWO HOMES ROBBED IN OAKLAND Lauren Rosenblatt
THE MEN BEHIND THE STREETS From smallpox to slavery to duels, some campus streets and buildings are named after Pittsburghers who shaped the city’s history through their influence — for better or worse. by David Robinson | Staff Writer

Pitt and city police responded to calls within one hour of each other Sunday morning that two South Oakland homes –– one on Semple Street and one on Meyran Avenue –– had been robbed. No one was injured in either incident, which occurred about a block away from one another, but residents of each home told police that some of their valuables had been stolen. Pitt and city police officers responded to a report of a burglary on the 300 block of Semple Street at 3:57 a.m. on Oct. 9. The residents who were home at the time told police they heard noise and saw an unknown man fleeing the house. They said the man ran in the direction of Meyran Avenue. Both police departments responded to a second report of a burglary on the 300 block of Meyran less than an hour later, at about 4:37 a.m. Those residents told police that an unknown person entered the residence sometime between 11 p.m. on Oct. 8, and 2 a.m. It was not immediately clear from the reports if the same person committed both burglaries. Police do not have any description of the suspect for the burglary on Meyran. For the incident on Semple, police only describe the suspect as male. A spokesperson for the city police did not return a request for more information about the two incidents. The police departments are asking that anyone with information regarding the incident call the Pittsburgh Police Department at 412422-6520 or Pitt police at 412-624-2121.

he historical reporting in this story is from information found in the University’s Special Collections at Hillman Library, unless otherwise noted. Every day, Pitt students wake up in bedrooms on Neville Street or dine at restaurants on Craig Street or head to class by way of Bates or Bouquet streets. Those roadways — which city planners named about 150 years ago — are as integral a part of Pitt’s extended campus as the Cathedral of Learning. And they’re named after men with varied histories. Some of those histories are darker than others. Bouquet Street, for example, is named for Col. Henry Bouquet, who was connected with the distribution of blankets infected with smallpox to Native Americans in the 1760s. Just outside of campus, Neville and Craig streets were
named in honor of the largest slave owners in western Pennsylvania at the turn of the 1800s. The University buildings which share names with these streets — including the Bouquet Gardens apartments and Craig Hall — were named for their location on the street rather than the men in question, according to University spokesperson John Fedele. Fedele did not answer questions via email or by phone about whether the history of the street names affected Pitt’s decision to name the buildings or if administrators would consider that history now. The Neville and Craig families owned numerous properties and a large amount of wealth, which allowed Pittsburgh to grow and establish itself prior to and throughout its founding as a city in 1816. Bouquet defended the land that eventually became Pittsburgh for the British dur-
ing the French and Indian War, which ran from 1754 to 1763. In January 1806, Tarleton Bates was the last man in Pennsylvania to be killed in a duel when Thomas Stewart shot him at the far end of what is now Bates Street. Georgetown University came under fire earlier this year for benefiting financially from the sale of nearly 300 slaves in the 1800s, raising a debate about whether or not public institutions should make reparations for the history of their namesakes. Aminata Kamara, president of Pitt’s Black Action Society, said she understands that Pittsburgh is trying to stay connected with its history by naming streets after influential characters. “This is their history,” Kamara said. “It’s messed up, and I don’t agree with it, but it’s their history.

being a historical city … good and bad, they keep their history so people can learn from that and reflect on it.” Bouquet Street On Columbus Day, Pitt students have protested the celebration of Christopher Columbus. Instead, some dub the second Monday in October “Indigenous Peoples’ Day,” and celebrate the people who lived here before Columbus arrived. Last year, students and community members marched from Bigelow Boulevard to the Columbus statue outside Phipps Conservatory, where they listened to speeches about the effects of colonization on indigenous people, only a few blocks away from the street named for a different attack on indigenous people. Bouquet — after whom Bouquet Street is named — is most famous for his capture and defense of Fort Pitt against the Native Americans, a turning point during the French and Indian War. The French allied with the Native Americans and fought against the British from 1754 to 1763 due to a land dispute. He continued as Colonel during the immediately ensuing Pontiac’s War from 1763 to 1766 — an attack by a loose confederation of Native Americans upset by the British victory over the French. The most famous battle of the war occurred at Bushy Run when Native Americans ambushed an envoy on its way to Fort Pitt, with the intention of backing up a garrison. Bouquet managed to hold out against the ambush and reclaim Fort Pitt located at what is now Point State Park in downtown Pittsburgh.

Correction: In the story “Growing Pains,” appearing Friday, Oct. 7, The Pitt News reported that the University of Pittsburgh had an enrollment of 22,509 in 1990. That was the number of full-time equivalent students, or full-enrollment students plus 40 percent of part-time students. According to the 1991 Pitt Factbook, Pitt actually had a full enrollment of 28,120 in Fall 1990. The Pitt News also reported that Jay Yander was sports editor of The Pitt News. Actually, he was a sports writer. The Pitt News regrets these errors. serving in New York — indicate Bouquet administered smallpox blankets to the Native Americans during Pontiac’s War. “I will try to inoculate the Indians by means of blankets that may fall in their hands, taking care however not to get the disease myself,” Bouquet wrote in a July 1763 letter to Amherst. Thirteen days later, Bouquet sent another letter to Amherst, saying “all your directions will be observed.” To administer smallpox blankets, British soldiers took blankets taken from soldiers who had died of smallpox and had contaminated their blankets with the disease. The surviving soldiers gave the contaminated blankets to Native Americans in an attempt to pass the disease on to the Native American population. According to the Amherst Archive Center, Amherst advised Bouquet to use the smallpoxinfested blankets after Bouquet had already administered them. The Center disputes the idea that the blankets had any effect in transmitting the disease. Bates Street Near the bank of Monongahela River at the end of the street now bearing his name, Tarleton Bates died in the last duel in Pennsylvania in January 1806. In honor of the man killed in the duel, the street stretching from Bouquet Street to Second Avenue became Bates Street and bookmarked the story for future generations to explore. In 1805, Bates was walking down Market Street one day when he passed Ephraim Pentland on the street. Bates was a rising political figure in the city and Pentland, then an editor at the paper, Tree of Liberty, frequently published insults about Bates. The men exchanged heated words and Bates physically assaulted Pentland. Pentland sent Thomas Stewart, a local merchant, to demand an apology from Bates. For days,
Bates refused to apologize, eventually angering Stewart so much that he challenged Bates to a duel. Pentland, who was of a lower social class than Bates, was not considered a worthy duel opponent for Bates. Stewart and Bates met on Jan. 8, 1806, on the end of what is now Bates Street, about where Craft Avenue is, and took their stances 12 paces apart. Both men fired once and both missed. Dissatisfied, they began round two of the duel. This time, Stewart’s aim improved and his shot hit Bates in the chest. Bates died within the hour. Fearing legal repercussions for killing another man, Stewart fled Pittsburgh and never returned. Craig and Neville streets On South Craig Street, students line up outside Union Grill or sit behind the open garage doors in Coffee Tree Roasters. Parallel to South Craig, Neville Street is mostly private housing for both students and families, named after military men and central figures during the Whiskey Rebellion, a farmer revolt against taxes on distilled spirits in 1791 to 1794. Gen. John Neville served alongside Gen. Edward Braddock during the French and Indian War, while Presley Neville was secretary for Marquis de Lafayette, the French general who aided the Americans in the Revolutionary War. Maj. Isaac Craig also fought in the Revolution and married Amelia Neville, John’s daughter. Rob Windhorst, board member and former president of the Neville House Associates — a historical society in Pittsburgh’s South Hills — said the Craig and the Neville families were two of the wealthiest landowners of southwestern Pennsylvania. They had an overwhelming influence over the city’s early days at the turn of the 1800s. John and Presley Neville and Isaac Craig

were also the three largest slave owners of western Pennsylvania, owning 28 slaves between them in 1780. By 1800, the three men owned double the amount of slaves, according to Windhorst. By 1806, all slaves were freed through gradual emancipation. As time went on, however, tides turned. Both Neville’s and Craig’s children opposed their parents’ views and worked to end slavery by establishing a staunch abolitionist position at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, then called the Gazette, in the first half of the 19th century. With passing time, Kamara, the president of Pitt’s Black Action Society, said history has been reframed in a positive light. “We’re told one thing so we can feel better, to help us digest our history — but our history’s just horrifying.” Hanson Kappelman, the co-chair of Oakwatch — an Oakland neighborhood committee — said history is like a data bank, where Pittsburghers can see how people’s beliefs have changed over time, even if they don’t agree with them. “[History is] a record of people’s good and bad intentions, and the results of them doing things we may or may not agree were valuable things to do,” Kappelman said. “It’s easy to just assume the way things are now is the way it’s always been.” All historical information in this story was found through the following sources, unless otherwise noted: History of Colonel Henry Bouquet and the western frontiers of Pennsylvania, 1747-1764 by Darlington, Mary C.

ACCESSIBILITY: A LANGUAGE WE CAN ALL SPEAK How Petra Kuppers, a queer poet, disability activist and English professor at the University of Michigan, opened my mind to accessibility and disability culture. by Isabelle Ouyang | Columnist
Accessibility is a broad term that, societally, we aspire to cultivate, but rarely do we use the word as individuals when it doesn’t apply to us. University of Toronto psychology professor Jordan Peterson posted a video Sept. 27 in which he said he would refuse to accommodate students who wanted to determine their own pronouns. Aside from empathy, is accommodating students’ individual needs really that difficult and time-consuming? And when individuals’ needs are accommodated, what kind of doors can be opened up? Oftentimes we view accommodations as weaknesses, not realizing why some people may need them. With a change of perception, adjustments can be forms of inclusion and keys to celebrating diversity. Petra Kuppers, a queer poet, disability activist and English professor from the University of Michigan, delved into the topic of accommodation in her lecture last Tuesday titled “Disability Culture Pedagogies: When Having Fun Together is Radical Practice.” Kuppers uses a wheelchair, but the lecture, she clarified, would not just be “about the wheelchair.” Rather, Kuppers turned the audience’s attention toward what goes on in classrooms, and how to expand discussion and perception by being reflexive towards students’ needs in all respects of wellness. Kuppers, with a buzzed head of white hair and a vibrant purple scarf, is known for her writing and performance art about disability. The two hours she spoke was the most intellectually engaged, interested and alive I’ve felt since the excitement of my classes dwindled into a midterm slump of overwork and routine. Kuppers focused on the use of disability narratives in classrooms, but also the ways in which all of us are restricted. Kuppers pre-

sented accessibility as a language she’s fluent in, and a language we can all practice. “Nothing real can really happen while we live in stigmatizing societies,” Kuppers said. The poet and activist touched on the stress that medical students face in school and the workplace, and how the humanities can help. She talked about how visualizing and writing about ideal, even fantastical, hospital spaces — sans constraints like cost or time — can help future doctors contextualize their care for patients. As an example of how the humanities could meld with the scientific world, her class discussed hydrotherapy, a water-based physical therapy for arthritis patients. Furthermore, she noted how creative and fantasy writing are media through which we can navigate our real-life concerns. Werewolves, she said, serve as an exploration of gender and tentacle-sci-fi, a category of online — typically erotic — fiction, serve as an exploration of physical limitations and disabilities. Kuppers also spoke about alternative teaching methods. She begins her classes with meditation followed by freewriting. She requires her students to do at least three different wellness activities outside of her class, whether it’s yoga, a walk or a fitness class. As an interdisciplinary performance artist, Kuppers engages her classroom with concepts enacting a body-mind relationship. Prior to the event, Kuppers prepared a few print copies, or “access copies,” of her lecture to pass out among audience members. The print copies, complete with reference lists, were available to anyone who wanted them, but mainly reserved for those that could follow along better with a visual reference. It was a small and subtle gesture, but I was caught off-guard. I didn’t previously consider that anyone in the audience would need visual
Raka Sarkar STAFF ILLUSTRATOR accommodation. I assumed that accommodations were exceptional, rather than granted. I thought of all the reasons someone might need a visual reference, including the case that there were people in the audience that were hard of hearing. Almost all the printouts were claimed immediately, and eagerly. After a pause, I took the last one, wracked with guilt. What if these papers weren’t meant for me? What if someone else needed them more? It turned out, that as a visual learner with ADHD, I was surprised at how much the printout helped me follow Kuppers’ lecture. The accommodations Kuppers provided that seemed so effortless for her, were uncomfortable and new to me. I learned from them. The same discomfort, not of impeding on students’ spaces, but of offering accommodations, encourages students to think intelligently about the needs of themselves and others. After the lecture, I surveyed the audience,
October 10, 2016
scattered sparsely to fit the front section of the relatively large room. I liked the small audience, it felt familiar and intimate. Afterward, students and professors mingled, talking excitedly about Kuppers’ poetry. While the small audience was nice, I couldn’t help but think about all my friends in the humanities, and even my friends on the pre-med track, who would have enjoyed or gained from Kuppers’ seemingly niche, but broadly applicable lecture. Whether it’s ramps, bike racks, using pronouns or hearing aids, everyone benefits from a society that tries to include all marginalized groups. What may be burdensome for you can be necessary for someone else’s health and well-being. I learned something from Kuppers: accessibility isn’t just a buzzword, it is a fundamental value that we should prioritize when it comes treating others with respect and humility.

HANNESDOTTIR ENDS DROUGHT Alessandro Conway For The Pitt News
In an upset victory, the Pitt women’s soccer team ended its nine-game winless streak with a win over conference opponent Miami Hurricanes Sunday afternoon at home. Coming from a 6-0 loss on the road to the No. 8 Virginia Cavaliers, the resolute Panthers (2-11-1 overall, 1-5-0 ACC) snatched a 1-0 victory over the Hurricanes (8-6-0 overall, 3-3-0 ACC) after midfielder Hanna Hannesdottir slotted a penalty kick past Miami’s goalkeeper in the second overtime period. “Miami is a much-improved team and we knew that they had some weapons,” Pitt head coach Greg Miller said, “We tried to address that and put a game plan together that was go-

ing to give us a chance.” Miami threatened to take an early lead when forward Ronnie Johnson stole the ball from Pitt’s defense in the second minute, dribbled into the box and shot it barely wide of the net. The Panthers responded with a dangerous counterattack that was extinguished by Hurricanes keeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce. After this, Pitt began taking control of the game. Through remarkable dribbles and probing passes, Panthers forward Sarah Krause orchestrated play through the midfield while also providing important defensive support. “Being in my second year I feel a lot more confident playing in the ACC,” Krause said, “Since we’ve had a tough season so far I really knew this was our chance to step up and get
the win.” Pitt came close to scoring in the 22nd minute after a through ball from Hannesdottir barely evaded Krause, who would have been there to score the goal. Krause’s strong passing ability shone again in the 24th minute as she combined with teammates Christiana Davey and Cheyenne Hudson in a brilliant play on the right wing, earning another corner for the Panthers. As the first half waned, Miami started creating more opportunities on the windy pitch. In a succession of scoring chances at about the 30-minute mark, Pitt goalkeeper Taylor Francis came up big, miraculously parrying away a driving shot to the near post.

Pitt tradition wasn’t limited to the reappearance of the royal blue and mustard yellow retro uniforms at Saturday’s game against Georgia Tech. For the fifth week in a row, the Panthers honored what’s become another game day ritual: fighting their way through a game-deciding fourth quarter. This time, the quarter ended with kicker Chris Blewitt sending a kick straight into the right goal post, and the ball falling just enough to the left to make it over the crossbar to give Pitt a 37-34 win. With Pitt’s defense taking most of the blame for the team’s second half of play in recent weeks, Tyrique Jarrett helped the defensive line emerge from this week’s game as overall helpful — as opposed to a consistent hindrance — for the team. Georgia Tech faced a fourth-and-1 with just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the Pitt defense –– which allowed 241 yards rushing to slip past them in the game –– had a chance to make a play and give the offense a chance to win. The Panthers hadn’t stopped the Yellow Jackets’ run game yet, so Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson made a gutsy call for the end of a fourth quarter and went for a fourth down at his own 34-yard line. The call was to run it straight up the middle –– right at Pitt’s 335-pound nose tackle Jarrett. Jarrett –– who teammates call “Big Freak” –– wrapped Georgia Tech running back Dedrick Mills up and senior middle linebacker Matt Galambos came in to finish him off, giving the ball back to the Panthers in their field goal range. “I was just reading my guy, and I see Tyrique just smother him,” Pitt first-year cornerback Dane Jackson said. “It was a great feeling.” The fourth quarter hasn’t always played out in Pitt’s favor in its last five games.

Football, pg. 7 In the Panthers’ rivalry game against Penn State on Sept. 10, they stormed out to a 28-7 lead only to see the Nittany Lions claw their way back into the game in the second half. Only Ryan Lewis’ interception in the end zone saved a 42-39 victory for Pitt. Against Oklahoma State the next week, Pitt came back from 14 points down and sat through a two-hour lightning delay only to give up the game-winning touchdown with under two minutes left in a 45-38 loss. In the team’s first ACC game against reigning Coastal Division champion North Carolina on Sept. 24, the Panthers had a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter but lost, 37-36, in the last two seconds of the game. And last week against Marshall, Pitt dominated the first half with a 27-0 lead. The Thundering Herd eventually made it a three-point game late in the fourth quarter, but two late touchdowns by the Panthers sealed a 43-27 victory. This week’s final 15 minutes started with Pitt leading 24-20 thanks to Blewitt’s 34-yard field goal with less than three minutes left in the third quarter. He made another field goal from 41 yards out to start the final quarter, extending the Panthers’ lead to seven. On their returning drive, the Yellow Jackets tossed the ball to running back Clinton Lynch,
who raced down the sideline to secure a 45-yard touchdown for Georgia Tech. The game was tied, and Pitt was in a familiar position of giving up a game it had the advantage in all along. The heat surrounding the Panthers’ defense only escalated when the Yellow Jackets found Pitt’s end zone once again, this time on a 10-yard touchdown run with just over five minutes left. For the first time since those last two seconds against UNC, the Panthers were not in the lead. But the team had a chance to come back, and it did. Quarterback Nathan Peterman fired a pass off a defender’s fingertips right to tight end Scott Orndoff, who caught it and took it 74-yards to the end zone for a game-tying touchdown. “I think it’s just about believing and never getting down on yourself or on your team,” Orndoff said about the Panthers’ resilience after giving up the lead. “Just hanging in there.” The defense still had four minutes on the clock to get redemption. And with the game on the line, Pitt’s biggest player came up huge. Jarrett and the rest of the defensive line set up Blewitt for the final field goal the Panthers needed to win the game. If Pitt’s defense continues to make the important plays at the moments it need s to, it might finally prove the doubters wrong. “It means a lot to me,” Jarrett said about helping his team get the win. “This is something that I probably will never forget in the long life that I will live.”

The Panthers narrowly missed connecting on a long through ball with six minutes left in the first half, which ended shortly after with both teams tied at 0-0. “At times, some of our game plan was working, and at other times I think we took our foot off the gas a little bit,” Miller said. The second half started with the same high tempo as the first. Krause was on the move again as she evaded two defenders and shot wide in the 49th minute. In the 74th minute, Miami’s Gracie Lachowecki had a golden opportunity and placed a shot on goal with Francis going the wrong way, but Pitt defender Seyla Perez came up with the block. With overtime looming, Davey unleashed a thunderous strike from 30 yards out in the 81st minute, but Tullis-Joyce swatted it out in full extension. In the final minute of regulation time, Pitt defender Arielle Fernandez turned in a crossshot from close range, but Tullis-Joyce made the save to send the game to overtime. Players from both sides started committing mistakes as overtime began. In the first minute, Johnson missed an opportunity for the Hurricanes after receiving a cross from a teammate in front of goal.
“Overtime is a nervous time for anyone no matter if you’re a freshman or a senior,” Krause said. With two minutes left in the first period of overtime, a low drive from the Hurricanes’ Shannon McCarthy ricocheted off the Panthers’ post and rolled across the face of goal. On the subsequent play, Krause received a perfect lob from defender Siobhan McDonough on the edge of the box, turned, and shot –– barely missing the top left corner. The most dramatic play came in the 105th minute as a Hurricanes defender blatantly pushed Pitt forward Alex Wright in their box — a clear penalty. Hannesdottir determinedly stepped up to the spot and drilled the ball into the bottom right corner, winning the first ACC game for the Panthers and ending a five-game scoring drought for the team. “It was an absolutely amazing feeling,” Hannesdottir said. “I was just ready to get [the ball] in the back of the net.” Miller was visibly satisfied with the win and applauded his team’s effort and character. “Just like with any game you are fortunate in some situations and unfortunate in others, and fortunately we just persevered and were able to grind out a penalty and capitalize on it,” Miller said. The Panthers will resume play against Syracuse Sunday, Oct. 16, at 1 p.m. in Syracuse, New York.
