relocation amid year of growth

Katie Cassidy Staff Writer

Pitt may be in the heart of the urban Oakland community, but one University organization has found a way to capitalize on local green spaces — bringing sustainability and fresh produce onto campus and into students’ lives. Plant2Plate is a student-run organization at Pitt founded in 2014 by two students, Reva Gorelick and Marc Schutzbank, in their Geology 1333 class. Since its founding, the group has cultivated and harvested fruits, vegetables and herbs from a plot of land located on Oakland Avenue, across from Bouquet Gardens. The organization will soon relocate because the University intends to build student housing on their current lot. Abigail Zolner, a senior environmental stud-

ies major and the club’s business manager, said the University promised Plant2Plate one more growing season, from May 2022 through midOctober 2022, on the Central Oakland lot. Zolner said the University is giving them a space on upper campus behind Trees Hall, but the ground is at least a year or two away from being ready for cultivation and planting. Zolner said the club will use the fall and winter months to fundraise and finalize plans for the new space, such as building staircases for accessibility. “Right now it is an old construction lot, all dusty and rocky and everything covered in weeds,” Zolner said. “We need to plan for raised beds, and it needs to be accessible. It is on a hill, so we’re hoping architecture or engineering students will get involved to do hillside terraces and

vertical gardens. We have a lot of planning to do, but also all of these smart, motivated people who want to help us do it.” Alvin Liu, a senior molecular biology and history double major and Plant2Plate’s president, said the new location on upper campus will only “hamper” the organization’s work on campus and in the community. He said the group is taking active efforts to combat the University’s decision by hiring a garden manager intern. Liu said he hopes others will advocate for the group and fight for the recognition he believes they deserve as the University’s only urban garden. “The garden fulfills an essential role on campus that no other organization meets,” Liu said. “I would like to see it become a permanent fixture on campus, affiliated with and supported directly by Pitt and the Office of Sustainability as other urban gardens are at other universities.” A University spokesperson said Pitt scheduled the garden’s relocation in 2010, in order to develop “sustainable student housing and amenities.” The spokesperson said the University’s sustainability team continues to work with Plant2Plate to foster sustainability efforts across campus. “Pitt’s Sustainability team is especially excited about the future potential that awaits Plant 2 Plate in its future location on Upper Campus, which presents opportunities for growth, expansion, and community partners,” the spokesperson said. “The University is fully committed to and will continue to provide space for a student garden on our dense, urban campus, just not on Oakland Avenue.” Despite the year of transition ahead, Liu said the organization is committed to furthering their mission. Liu said Plant2Plate was created to connect students with gardening and educate them on sustainable consumption of food. “We promote sustainability on campus by engaging volunteers in urban gardening and teaching members of the Pitt community how to maintain crucial green space in our urban environment,” Liu said. “The produce that our volunteers raise is donated to food pantries and

October 13, 2021

delivery services, including the Pitt Pantry, that serve the Pittsburgh community.” Cecelia Kenawell, a sophomore international relations major, joined the club this year after learning they promoted ethical food consumption. Kenawell said normalizing ethical sourcing options for food is important, especially in an urban environment where people may not view it as a realistic possibility. “It is insane not knowing who has been exploited to get food to you and not knowing where all of the packaging comes from,” Kenawell said. “There are so many questions that we do not consistently ask ourselves, and I think it is hard to educate people. It is definitely important and to imagine doing that on an urban campus is really cool.” Zolner said the organization also works hard to combat food insecurity on campus. Zolner said the group donates produce from the garden and engages in community service in order to address the issue. “Access to healthy, fresh food is super important,” Zolner said. “Maybe you know where your next meal is coming from, but that is not the case for everyone. Sometimes I don’t think we think about that.” Zolner said the organization’s growth since she joined last summer is exciting, with membership rising from around 90 people in 2020 to more than 300 people in 2021. Zolner said members are coming in with many ideas on how to expand the program and reach more members in the community, and people on campus are beginning to take notice. “We have people emailing us, we have gone to a global studies certificate discussion and presented there,” Zolner saidy “In October, we are doing one of Res Life’s ‘All Halls,’ which is a twohour presentation and interactive session. People are hearing about it.” Liu said he is “thrilled” with the growth of the organization and the effort the team puts in to expanding their impact across the campus and

Faculty union organizers ‘optimistic’ as election draws to a close

Katie Cassidy Staff Writer

More than five years after Pitt faculty began a union-organizing campaign, they will start to find out next week whether they succeeded in bringing a union to campus. Voting in the faculty unionization election closed Tuesday, as eligible professors and researchers from all five Pitt campuses cast their vote on whether to unionize or not. The Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board mailed out election ballots on Aug. 27 to all faculty members eligible to vote. All ballots had to be received by the PLRB by Tuesday at 5 p.m., with counting scheduled to begin next Tuesday. The push for unionizing more than 3,000 faculty members at the University began in 2016, when Pitt faculty and employees announced a partnership with United Steelworkers. Steelworkers has assisted other university unionization efforts in the state. Melinda Ciccocioppo, a psychology

lecturer and member of the Pitt Faculty Organizing Committee, said a faculty union will not just benefit Pitt faculty — the effects of a union will filter down to Pitt students. Ciccocioppo said unionization will help improve working conditions for faculty by giving them a voice in negotiations surrounding “job stability, more predictable course loads and fair compensation.” “[Faculty negotiating] means that students can count on trusted professors to be there from one semester to the next and to be able to provide them with the support they need in their academic journeys,” Ciccocioppo said. The PLRB ruled in April 2019 on what groups at Pitt would be eligible to vote in a union election. PLRB ruled that Pitt’s School of Medicine is not eligible to vote in the election on the basis that University policies have always established the School of Medicine as a separate unit from the rest of the school. Pitt originally said the bargaining unit

for Pitt faculty in the election should include the School of Medicine, while union organizers argued for its exclusion. Ciccocioppo said the election has been “powerful” and that she was impressed by the amount of faculty uniting for this cause. Ciccocioppo said she is “optimistic” that the results are in favor of unionization. “I think the election went really well,” Ciccocioppo said. “Most of the faculty I’ve talked to over the past five years support forming a union with their colleagues.” Ciccocioppo said support from organizations and local businesses has been instrumental in the unionization efforts. She said these outside influences and pressures played a big role in what she described as Pitt’s decision to stay “fairly neutral.” “Support has been huge,” Cicco-

cioppo said. “The resolutions passed by Pitt’s Graduate and Professional Student Government, College of General Studies Student Government, the Student Government Board and other Pitt organizations mean a lot to us and highlight the recognition that ultimately a union of Pitt faculty will benefit our institution as a whole.” University spokesperson David Seldin said Pitt “does not have a position” on a desired outcome of the election. Seldin said the decision is “for faculty to make.” Pitt faculty unionization efforts received additional support from the greater Pittsburgh community. State Rep. Dan Frankel, D-23, and Pittsburgh City Controller Michael Lamb, among other elected officials, voiced their support for a Pitt faculty union over Twitter, encouraging eligible voters to vote “yes” for faculty unionization.

Opinions

10 tiny things to help depression feel not so terrible pittnews.com

Stop comparing everything to the Holocaust Rachel Soloff

Senior Staff Columnist From the use of the term “grammar Nazi” to PETA’s comparisons of farming to concentration camps, Holocaust metaphors seem to be increasingly commonplace in our culture. Recently, the COVID-19 antivax movement has taken this rhetoric even further by comparing the enforcement of mask mandates and vaccine requirements to the Nazis’ treatment of Jews during the Holocaust. This is absolutely not OK. By comparing the atrocious events of the Holocaust to minor political incidents, the genocide of millions of people becomes a cheap way to get your point across and discounts the impact of the Holocaust. It is dangerous rhetoric, used purely as a scare tactic, and should not be as

commonplace as it is now. As antisemitism becomes more prevalent and neo-Nazis gain a voice in politics, the cavalier use of Holocaust metaphors has real-world effects and can lead to more hate and violence against Jews and others that the Holocaust affected. While it may seem minor, the use of terms like “grammar Nazi” is extremely offensive. Someone correcting grammar shouldn’t be compared to the Nazis, who inflicted actual damage on millions of people. Even the use of a phrase that may come off as harmless can make something as serious as the Holocaust into a joke, when it absolutely shouldn’t be. Someone who corrects your grammar may be annoying, but they are not evil. It’s important to make sure the language we speak reflects that. Also, neo-Nazis are still around — their hateful speech and xenophobia are no joking

matter. These neo-Nazis can feel emboldened when antisemitic language and jokes around the Holocaust are normalized. Social movements co-opting Holocaust metaphors is probably the most harmful and dangerous way these comparisons are used. Many animal rights organizations, such as PETA, frequently compare the treatment of animals in the factory farming industry to the concentration camps during the Holocaust. During a 2003 advertising campaign, PETA put up signs comparing both the extermination and rounding up of Jews to the slaughtering and inhumane treatment of animals on farms. More recently, PETA called for an end to "anti-animal" language, comparing "speciesism" to racism, homophobia and ableism. These kinds of comparisons are extremely hurtful to marginalized communities. Campaigns like these are purposely exploiting the suffering that the Holocaust caused as a way to gain media attention. There are other ways for animal rights organizations to get their points across, without invoking images of the Holocaust. It is hurtful to those with family members who perished in the Holocaust, and to survivors. The genocide of millions of people should not be used as shock value. Anti-vaxxers are also using this kind of rhetoric and have even gone so far as to wear yellow stars similar to the ones that the Nazis forced Jews to wear during the Holocaust. Some anti-vaxxers have even made the comparison between vaccine passports and the documents that Jews had to carry around during the Holocaust, insinuating that antivaxxers will soon have to hide as many did during the Holocaust. It is completely inappropriate to equate something such as wearing masks and getting the COVID-19 vaccine to the atrocities of the Holocaust. The government is not forcing people into concentration camps — they are enforcing rules for public health. This comparison is even more of a slap in the face to the victims of the Holocaust because many people — including Anne Frank — died not from a gas chamber, but instead from

October 13, 2021

diseases spreading because of the cruel and overcrowded conditions in the concentration camps. These comparisons are even more outrageous and hypocritical because many of the anti-vaxxers additionally believe in the QAnon conspiracy, which is inherently antisemitic. In the same breath that these anti-vaxxers compare their “freedoms” being taken away to the Holocaust, they spread antisemitic hate speech and believe in harmful conspiracy theories about Jews. This contributes to the more than one billion people around the world who harbor antisemitic attitudes. The suffering of the Jewish people is not something that can be picked up or put down depending on whether it will help you win an argument. Comparing social movements to the Holocaust, or people who are annoying about grammar to the Nazis, is unacceptable and immensely disrespectful in so many ways. The “Never Forget” sentiment means that we must teach future generations about the atrocities that occurred, and doing that starts with accuracy. These jokes come from a place of ignorance and improving our Holocaust education is the only way that we can fix this. When people learn what truly happened and why it is so important not to trivialize the events of the Holocaust as a political talking point, they will know the true impact these events had on people. The Holocaust wasn’t that long ago — only 76 years — and they have made a lasting impact in our collective history. If we act like these events were some abstract concept, something to compare other political events to, we take away from the real suffering that people dealt with. When the events of the Holocaust are trivialized, it is absolutely dehumanizing. If we are to never forget the events of the Holocaust, then no one should ever place Jews in a dehumanizing position again. Words should be taken seriously — we owe that to those who perished in the Holocaust. Rachel Soloff writes primarily about the entertainment industry and social justice.

Culture ‘fear street’ screenwriter explores queer Listen to TPN’s Fall Playlist:

horror with horror studies working group

Culture Editor

Queer influence in the horror genre extends far past the bounds many people initially think — lingering in classic works such as Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” according to screenwriter Phil Graziadei. “The sort of connection between queer themes and the horror is at least as old as Shelley. It's at least as old as original Frankenstein, a book written by a bisexual woman,” Graziadei said. “Self-identified, or at least, openly talking about the way she thought about pursuing relationships with women after Percy died.” Graziadei, the screenwriter behind Netflix’s hit “Fear Street” trilogy based on the books of the same name, gave a talk this Saturday with Pitt’s Horror Studies Working Group about his work in horror film and the explicit queer themes of the Netflix movies. The trilogy focuses on the lives of teenagers living in “Shadyside,” a town plagued by a series of repeated brutal murders starting all the way back in the 1600s. Each film takes place in a different time period — 1994, 1978 and 1666. Graziadei said the trilogy was filmed all at once, initially under 20th Century Fox, with the intention of releasing them theatrically. Netflix bought the rights to the trilogy in 2020 and released them each a week apart this past summer. This was Graziadei’s first time working on a major studio production. He previously worked with “Fear Street” director and co-writer Leigh Janiak on the indie-horror movie “Honeymoon,” starring Rose Leslie. He said having a close relationship with Janiak, who he’s known since his days as an undergrad at New York University, allowed for a more casual and seamless experience working on the film. “In independent film, you generally have a little bit more control. I think that my experience is probably a little bit different from most writers working within the studio system, because my writing partner is also the director,” Graziadei said. “The director is basically the king or queen in those situations.” Sonia Lupher, associate director of the Horror

pittnews.com

Studies Working Group who also moderated the talk, said she was pleasantly surprised by the explicit queer themes of the films, particularly the relationship between the two stars Deena (Kiana Madeira) and Sam (Olivia Scott Welch) which all three films feature. “I was really pleased because I feel like [their relationship] is kind of set up as a twist, in a way. Like in the first film, you feel like Deena is watching the guy, right? You think Sam will be the guy,” Lupher said. “So it's set up that way, I think on purpose, and then it very quickly normalizes their relationship.” Grazaidei said the decision to make those characters queer was very important to him and Janiak early on in the script process. They were pleasantly surprised with support from the trilogy’s producers and Netflix, which Graziadei said

is still unfortunately rare for large productions in Hollywood. “They were very supportive. From the very beginning, in that respect. Which is a big deal. It's a really big deal,” Graziadei said. “I will say that in general, it’s really hard in Hollywood to get queer content made a major studio level. There are very few places that are willing to do it or invested in doing so.” In the original “Fear Street” books, written by R.L. Stine of “Goosebumps” fame, there were no explicitly queer characters. But Graziadei said the fan community often catalogs what they see as homoerotic subtext in the novels, of which there are more than 100. “There are all these like fan blogs, I think Welcome to Fear Street is one of them, where they catalog cultural trends,” Graziadei said. “And

one of those categories that they put together is homoerotic subtext. Most of the books are about teenage girls. And there are a lot of body image issues and obsessions between your cheerleader rival from another school or something like that.” Though fans might be able to find queer themes or subtext in horror films or books going back to the late 1800s, it’s not a substitute for clear representation. Livia Rappaport, a senior film and media studies major and a member of the Horror Studies Working Group, said she liked how Graziadei acknowledged both the queer “monstrous” subtext and obviously queer characters. “I liked how he acknowledged how there's nothing wrong with the narratives about embrac-

‘KENNY HEISMAN’ NO LONGER A PLAYFUL NICKNAME AS PICKETT BUILDS CASE

Frankie Richetti Staff Writer

“Kenny Heisman” was formerly just a playful nickname for Pitt super-senior quarterback Kenny Pickett. But after his extraordinary start to the season, he’s giving that name life and could be in contention for some of the nation’s most prestigious awards. Pickett has a real shot at winning this year’s Heisman Trophy, an award given to college football’s best player. Major outlets are taking notice of the fifth-year senior’s strong year as ESPN, Yahoo! Sports, Fansided and various other publications mention Pickett in their latest Heisman rankings. Coming into the season, Pickett’s name didn’t generate much noise in the national media. But

after leading the Panther offense to new heights, Pickett has been thrust into the national spotlight. Pitt ranks No. 1 in the country in scoring offense and No. 3 in yards per game. Pickett sets a high bar for his offense. The veteran quarterback said after Pitt’s week three loss to Western Michigan that the offense sets a goal each week to put up 50 points. “The goal is 50,” Pickett said. “That’s the goal every week.” And the offense has done just that. The Pan-

is putting up numbers as good as any quarterback in the country — if not better. Pickett is first among Power 5 quarterbacks with a 90.1 quarterback rating and 19 passing touchdowns. He’s also improved this season in completing passes downfield, something he’s struggled with in the past, and ranks in the top five in the nation. Among QBs with more than 20 attempts of 15 air yards or more, no one has completed more passes than Pickett, who has a 65% completion percentage. The next closest is Nebraska's Adrian

Lucas Zheng staff photographer thers offense is averaging a whopping 52.4 points per game through its first five games and are the only team in the FBS averaging more than 50 points per game. Pitt has scored more than 40 points in five straight games for the first time in program history this season, joining the 2014 Florida State Seminoles as the only other ACC program to do so. Led by future No. 1 overall NFL draft choice and Heisman winner Jameis Winston, this team went on to win the national title. Pickett spearheads the Panther offense and

Martinez with 52.4%. Stats could be rattled off all day, but to put it simply, Pickett has been nothing short of elite. Pro Football Network’s Cam Mellor ranked all 130 FBS quarterbacks and Pickett sat on top of the list. Pickett is putting up the individual numbers to win the Heisman, but team success goes a long way in choosing the award winner. Pitt’s loss against Western Michigan hurts his chances, but if the Panthers take care of business from here on out, Pickett will have as good of a chance to win

October 13, 2021

the award as anybody. ESPN’s Football Power Index tool gives the Panthers a 72.1% chance to win the ACC coastal division, as well as a 44.3% chance to win the conference outright — better odds than any other team in the ACC. This weekend's game against the Virginia Tech Hokies looms large as the Panthers and Hokies are the only ACC Coastal teams without an in-conference loss. If the Panthers pick up a win on the road in Blacksburg, it’s hard to imagine a scenario where they don’t win the division and earn a berth to the ACC Championship Game. When the Panthers take the field the rest of the season, not only will they have the better offense but they will have the best player on the field in Pickett. The most realistic path for Pickett to win the Heisman is for the Panthers to run the table, win the Coastal division and go on to win the ACC Championship. If that happens, the individual numbers and team success will both be there, making it hard to deny Pickett the award. Pitt football has been a recurring cycle of mediocrity for decades now. If they finally reach the mountain top and break that cycle, then Pickett’s case will be extremely strong. It’s important to remember the criteria of the award. “The Heisman Memorial Trophy annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity,” the Heisman Award website reads. Who better exhibits the pursuit of excellence than Pickett? He hadn’t thrown for more than 13 touchdowns in any season of his collegiate career prior to this season and it took him just four games to eclipse that mark this season. The leap he has taken embodies the aforementioned quote. For Pickett to make his name of “Kenny Heisman” a reality, he and the Panthers will need to handle business the rest of the way and have little to no room for error.
