Pitt, Rainbow prep for westboro Janine Faust
Assistant News Editor With the Westboro Baptist Church planning to protest on Pitt’s campus Thursday, the University and campus organizations are preparing. The WBC is known for its hateful speech against the LGBTQ+ community, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Muslims, Jews and American soldiers. According to its online picket schedule, the group will be holding a series of protests Thursday in Pittsburgh, starting at Carnegie Mellon University at 1:30 p.m. and ending at 3:15 p.m. at Duquesne University. The group is scheduled to demonstrate on Pitt’s campus from 2:30-3:05 p.m. University spokesperson Joe Miksch said in an email that Pitt is unable to comment on the exact safety precautions it’ll take for the protest but “will take all necessary steps to ensure the safety of students, faculty, and staff.” Pitt’s Rainbow Alliance released a statement Tuesday condemning the upcoming WBC visit to campus and encouraging students to respond to the protest in ways most meaningful to them. The group is partnering up with Pitt’s Student Government Board to raise $600 — $20 for every minute WBC plans to appear on campus — for Proud Haven, a local nonprofit that helps LGBTQ+ homeless youth. Rainbow’s release said SisTers PGH — a nonprofit that helps poor transgender people and people of color in Pittsburgh — is organizing a counter protest that will follow WBC throughout the city. The Rainbow Alliance’s office in 611 William Pitt Union will also be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday for people who need “a safe place to escape to.” “Regardless of what you do, please remain non-violent,” Rainbow Alliance President Kate See Westboro on page 2

MINDS AT WORK, HEARTS AT HOME Pitt students talk about missing friends, family and old neighborhoods whil far away at college. by Ellie Yoon | For The Pitt News
Audrey Chen can’t help but feel a twinge of nostalgia every time she walks into the Subway on Forbes Avenue and sees how thin the sandwiches are. “Whenever I go to Subway — we also have the same store called Subway in Taiwan — it makes me think about the difference in thickness,” she said. “In Taiwan, the sandwiches are really thick, but here, it’s smaller.” Chen is a sophomore nutrition and dietetics major who traveled from her home
country of Taiwan to study at Pitt. The homesickness she’s suffered since her first year here has not gotten better. “America’s a whole new environment, the food and culture [are] really different,” she said. “I think about Taiwan when I buy food here, over there I just walk out and get good cheap food from a random vendor, but over here you can’t get good sushi.” Chen is one of thousands of college students around the world who end up
wistfully remembering old inside jokes, family game nights and neighborhood haunts while trying to write an English essay miles away from home. According to Pitt’s 2017 Fact Book, 11,254 out of 34,750 students — nearly a third — attending Pitt are out-of-state. There are 3,133 international students currently enrolled. Chen is half a world away from her home city of Tainan — and hasn’t been there since winter break in 2016. She feels See Homesick on page 2

that if she returned for the summer she would just miss Taiwan even more when she eventually would have to leave again. “I feel like if I miss a place a lot, I don’t want to go back for a long time,” she said. Chen copes with her homesickness by throwing herself into her studies or distracting herself by going out with the friends she’s made here. She also brought along two photo albums with her from Taiwan, filled with memories from her childhood and adolescence with her friends and family as a way to deal with missing her home. “I often go on Facebook or look at photos in my phone, look at those good old memories, high school pictures, and middle school [pictures],” Chen said. “I think I do that like twice a day, maybe three times.” She especially misses the school she attended in Taiwan and the classmates she studied and graduated with. “I didn’t just go there for high school, I went there for elementary, middle school and high school,” Chen said. Like Chen, Ethan Miller also misses his hometown’s schools. He would have

liked to watch his younger brothers enter high school, but unfortunately he’s no longer in the same state. “It’s kind of sad that I don’t get to see them start, it would’ve been fun to see them through that process,” he said. Besides missing his family, Miller also wishes he could see his dogs every day again. The first-year engineering student’s family has three dogs back in New Jersey, one of them just a puppy. “I loved hanging with that dog over the summer, now I’m here, which kind of makes me homesick,” he said. He usually gets the most homesick when he sees somebody with their dogs or after he talks to his family once or twice a week on the phone. “It’s a lot busier out here, and I miss being able to relax with all of them,” he said. In a 2016 study conducted by Skyfactor, 27 percent of 120,967 first-year students across the U.S. reported missing their family and 34 percent reported missing their friends. Furthermore, five percent regretted leaving home to go to school and 10 percent said they thought about going home all the time. Hailey Daniels was able to go home and see her family when she attended
Pitt’s Greensburg campus her first two years of college. “I would come home a lot on weekends just because there wasn’t really much to do since it was a pretty rural setting,” Daniels said. “It was small, and I didn’t want to be there.” Daniels would talk with her family every day on the phone and roomed with a friend of hers from high school at Greensburg. But when the friend left for a study abroad program, Daniels often felt anxious and alone. “It was hard not having her around to talk to,” Daniels said. “It’s one of the reasons I went back home.” According to the 2016 UCLA Higher Education Research Institute annual freshman survey, 34.5 percent of all students surveyed said they frequently felt anxious, 11.9 percent reported often feeling depressed in the past year and 13.9 percent said there was a “very good chance” they would seek personal counseling in college. Daniels ended up transferring to Pitt’s main campus this fall. Her family lives only 20 minutes outside the city and she has a lot of high school friends who also attend the main campus. She said she now feels more comfortable about college
life and less inclined to visit home. Still, she sometimes misses being able to lay in her own bed and eat home-cooked food. “I had a meal at Market the other day that reminded me of stuff my mom used to make,” she said. Chen said she’s never bothered to seek out counseling for her homesickness because she sees it as normal. People from anywhere who leave home to come to Pitt can get homesick, even those from within Pennsylvania. How they deal with it depends on the person. “I’d just generally say don’t look back at those photos,” she said. Miller said the best way for people to deal with homesickness it to “live in the moment.” “Just keep getting involved and make relationships and do the stuff you do at home,” Miller said. “You play basketball at home, you can do that here, too — don’t just fall out of [what you like to do.]” He does have one specific thing in mind for when he returns to New Jersey for winter break. “First thing I’m going to do is pet my dogs,” he said.
the protest, whether that is participating in a counter protest or expressing their opinions through art and writing. “Protesting is not just the only option, it’s not accessible to everyone physically and mentally,” Shindle said.
Rainbow Alliance also said they are partnering up with CMU Allies to host a self-care event in Schenley Plaza at 5 p.m. on Thursday. “We figured it would be a creative, positive response to [WBC’s] hate,” Shindle said in a phone interview.
Any students planning to counter protest WBC’s demonstration should do their best to stay safe and remain vigilant,” Shindle said. “Pack light, don’t bring your schoolbags, don’t engage directly and stand your ground,” Shindle said.

Opinions column
from the editorial board
Puerto Rico deserves better than Trump President Donald Trump’s criticism of Puerto Rico’s pre-Hurricane Maria infrastructure compelled The Pitt News to speak out against his divisive rhetoric last week and emphasize the real need for aid in Puerto Rico. We feel compelled yet again this week to speak out against the president’s comments. When Trump finally arrived in Puerto Rico yesterday, nearly two weeks after Maria made landfall, he took his chance once again to play politics with a suffering U.S. territory. He said Puerto Rico should be “very proud” that the death count was only “16 versus literally thousands of people,” who died in “a real catastrophe like Katrina.” Even if you try to find the silver lining in his statement, where he praised the people of Puerto Rico for “working together,” he proceeded to blame the territory for our nation’s much broader budgetary problems. “I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you’ve thrown our budget a little out of whack,” he said, adding that “at a local level, [Puerto Rico] has to give us much more help.” But like with much of what Trump says, these shameful comments may come to hurt him. First, Trump’s point of pride may simply be false. Omaya Sosa Pascual, the founder of the Center for Investigative Journalism in Puerto Rico, reported because death certificates weren’t being processed quickly enough, the government hadn’t updated the official death count in seven days. After Trump’s remarks on Tuesday, AP reported the official death toll rose to
pittnews.com
36, but the actual number may still be higher. After investigating several hospitals in the region, CPI found at least 26 had died at the Veteran’s Hospital — and there may be dozens, if not hundreds, more across the U.S. territory. But final death count aside, Trump should not blame Puerto Rico for how much Hurricane Maria cost the government. After Hurricane Harvey struck Texas, the Federal Emergency Management Agency authorized the use of every disaster response tool at its disposal 10 days after the hurricane struck. It has been two weeks and Puerto Rico still has not received equivalent assistance. Even if Puerto Rico costs the U.S. government more than Texas or Florida, Trump’s criticism is unjustified. Most estimates put Puerto Rico’s damages between $30 billion and $80 billion, but FEMA was authorized to spend a mere $15 billion on hurricane relief on all of the season’s recent hurricanes. The spending Trump is worried about will fix little compared to the damage done, but with the help of international organizations and committed communities, it could be a key component. But the first step is to take the issue of Puerto Rico’s disaster seriously — something Trump seemed incapable of doing. He spent his first visit to the territory tossing rolls of paper towels into the crowd like he was passing out free T-shirts at a baseball game. What he seems to forget is that Puerto Ricans are American citizens too, and that providing life-saving aid isn’t as simple as being a mascot.
A NEW I-PHONE IN A POST-INNOVATIVE AGE
Abby Katz STAFF ILLUSTRATOR
Levko Karmazyn Columnist A decade before Apple released the first iPhone, the hottest new technology included the Tamagotchi virtual pocket pet, Motorola’s StarTAC — one of the first widely popular cell phones — and the trusty mp3 file. When the iPhone was introduced 10 years ago it shook every aspect of the technology world — it launched the touch revolution, changed the way we communicate, put the internet in our pockets and made everyone

a photographer. But now it seems Apple is no longer the face of progress. The new iPhone X may be a beautiful piece of hardware, but it employs technologies like Qi wireless charging and facial recognition that are already industry standard in phones like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the LG V30, both of which are cheaper than the iPhone X. It’s not because Apple’s getting lazy. There are structural aspects of the tech industry that See Karmazyn on page 4

Karmazyn, pg. 3 yield this bland update. Smaller tech companies entering the market traditionally provided more radical innovation. Now, giants such as Apple are stifling smaller companies while simultaneously changing course and focusing more on social media development. Prior to the late ‘90s the industry was a lot emptier. The era soon became a pinnacle of early technological innovation as industries created by electronics and software innovation grew the fastest of any industry group during the late ‘90s. From the Ph.D. students at Stanford who founded Google to college dropouts in a garage who founded Apple, people were coming out of nowhere and breaking new ground. But today four companies dominate the country’s tech market, a supergroup known as GAFA in France. Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon are involved in nearly every aspect of daily life, and their dominance is evident every time you visit the internet. It’s not that ambitious companies aren’t trying to shake up the market — they’re just failing much more often. Though it’s still a phenomenon not understood in its entirety, the theory is that entering companies are unable to find the footing to prosper in a concentrated market held by the GAFA giants.
pittnews.com
As the market stabilizes, larger companies face less risk of being overthrown by new industry invaders. The problem is these larger, longer-lived companies that hold a majority of the market don’t invest in radical new technology as much as newer entering companies do. They don’t have to capture anyone’s attention or gamble with uncertainties — they already have the market. In Apple’s case, we’ve slowed from a dizzying innovative dance to a steadier September shuffle. But regardless of the lack of “wow factor,” analysts predict strong sales for the iPhone X. This phone will be everywhere in a couple of months. Our desires for a phone as consumers are deeper than being impressed by a spec sheet. While Android phones are known to surpass iPhones in technical specifications, the iPhone offers a more abstract asset — that feeling of being connected. This is one of the reasons that Apple has developed a firm presence in youth culture. Apps such as iMessage and FaceTime are cultural standards of communication for those of us under 30. While they aren’t “better” than Android services, they do offer inclusion to a norm, and a user-friendly one at that. What we crave more than technical
specifications is the feeling of being connected and — for better or worse — less different. A highlight of the new iPhone’s launch showed Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, using the phone’s new depth-sensing camera to put a 3D Snapchat filter on his face. Furthermore, the portrait mode found on the iPhone 7 Plus will now be on the iPhone X, catering to selfie takers who want more Instagramworthy pictures than ever. So much of the new tech on the iPhone X is focused around Snapchat, emojis and other ways to make social media more engaging. With catering to social media integration in the forefront, Apple no longer feels pressure to develop a truly innovative, physical phone. And when it comes to profit, Apple isn’t misguided in this shift. It’s what consumers want, and it’s where the money is — Snapchat, a company that started without a profit model, is now worth about as much as retail giant Target. We now spend on average almost an hour a day on Facebook and half an hour on Snapchat. But social media has changed the way we think throughout the entirety of our day, with more and more of our spare moments being spent on our phones, in more divided, comfortable virtual spaces. At 95
October 4, 2017
percent, the vast majority of the country already has a smartphone, so the question isn’t how to convince people to buy one — it’s how to keep them on it longer. Social media companies want to become a bigger part of our thought process for now. Infinite, instantaneous access to information as well as virtual social lives are the goal, but the profit that would result is almost unimaginable. The threat this may present to our privacy and way of life is still looming, but it’s clear we are already well on our way. The iPhone X’s slogan, “the future of the smartphone,” is a telling tagline. If the future is what we saw this September — a tech giant that was once a beacon of innovation putting out little more than animated emojis and sharper selfies — then it’s clear something about our trajectory has changed. We’re close to a post-innovative age, one in which society’s obsession with social media stifles true innovation. And If we are to move forward with intention in a world more connected than we could ever imagine, we should demand better from our technology.

PANTHERS MAUL LIONS, 1-0 Grant Burgman Staff Writer The Pitt men’s soccer team won their second consecutive game against a ranked opponent on Tuesday night. The Panthers (6-5-0) shut out No. 14 Columbia 1-0, handing the Lions (5-1-2) their first loss of the season. The game was Pitt’s third win in a row after last week’s big wins over West Virginia and No. 21 ranked Syracuse last week. The Panthers brought their record to 6-5 on the season and have gained significant momentum heading into the last six games of the season. The Lions outshot the Panthers 15-7, but Pitt boasted both a strong defense and opportunistic offense, capitalizing on the few scoring opportunities they had and keeping their goal safe from scoring from the opposition. Columbia dominated the first half of the game early on. The Lions held steady possession throughout and registered the first two corner kicks of the night. Pitt’s defense was up to the task, heading and clearing out both of the first two corners of the night. Panther defenders spent most of their time near their own goal box, wrestling with Columbia forPitt first-year forward Alexander Dexter scored in Pitt’s 1-0 victory against wards in the box.

spite being outshot 5-2 through the first 30 minutes of the game —- thanks to a consistent first half performance by redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Mikal Outcalt. Outcalt had two saves and faced three corner kicks during the first half alone. In the 41st minute, Pitt first-year forward Alexander Dexter found the back of the net with a chip from a difficult angle in the left side of the box to put the Panthers up 1-0. The goal was Dexter’s third of the season, tying him with first-year Colin Brezniak for second most on the team this season. Dexter’s goal also broke Columbia’s streak of three straight shutouts. Entering the second half down a goal, Columbia came out firing, outshooting the Panthers again. Pitt’s defense was the difference maker in the latter portion of the match, as they blocked four shots — racking up six total on the game. Despite Columbia’s 15-shot outburst, only three made it on net. Pitt’s stout defense largely kept the Lions out of the box in the second half, forcing them to take long distance shots that continuously sailed over the net. The Panthers played a more disciplined game as well, with the Lions committing 13 fouls, while Pitt only committed four. It See Men’s Soccer on page 6
PANTHERS SHOW PROGRESS BUT FACE TOUGH COMPETITION AHEAD
Dominic Campbell Staff Writer
When Pitt men’s soccer beat No. 21 Syracuse 2-1 at home on Friday, it was a historic win. The Panthers recorded their first ever ACC win since joining the conference in 2013. Then, they doubled down Tuesday, snagging a 1-0 win against another ranked team — No. 14 Columbia. These wins are a source of motivation for

the team as they look to turn around a program that struggled since joining the ACC. The Panthers had a dreadful record of 2-13-3 and a 0-62 ACC conference record — and a whopping 13 of their losses were shutouts. Last year was the first chance for new head coach Jay Vidovich to prove his reputation as a winning coach. He failed to do that in 2016, but now — with a class of his own recruits — Pitt fans are seeing what gave him that reputation.
Previously at Wake Forest for 21 years, he won the NSCAA National Coach of the Year in 2007 and 2008 and was named ACC Coach of the Year five times. As coach of the Demon Deacons, he helped them become one of the best college soccer teams in the country. In his time there, he had a record of 272-121-50 and was able to recruit well and develop great players. With a new class recruited by Vidov-

ich and his staff — and a whole season to work with them — the Panthers have begun to play some better soccer. A number of the new Panther recruits have already stepped up to take control of the pitch — notably Colin Brezniak, Alexander Dexter and Edward Kizza. Bringing clean play to the offense, Brezniak has started in five games out of 10 so far, netting See Analysis on page 6

was just the second game this season Pitt kept their fouls under 10. Columbia’s fouls took their toll on Pitt as well with senior Pol Planellas taking a clip to the back of his ankle in the 87th minute, leading to his early exit. The Panthers have already trumped last year’s win total with six. This also marks their second win against a ranked team this season, while last year’s team didn’t register a single win against a ranked opponent. Tuesday’s game continued a trend for this year’s Panthers as once again it was a first-year goal scorer that secured the win. All three of Pitt’s top scorers this season — Edward Kizza, Brezniak and Dexter — are freshmen forwards. Through Tuesday, 11 of the 16 goals scored by the men’s team this year have been scored by first-year students. This Friday, Pitt will play the No. 19 Duke Blue Devils at home. This will be their fifth ACC opponent of the season and their sixth match against a ranked opponent. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Ambrose Urbanic Field.
three goals in crucial wins against Longwood, Robert Morris and Syracuse. Dexter — who came through the elite German academy team FK Pirmasens — has done the same, scoring the winning goal away in a 1-0 win over Loyola Maryland, and also had a goal and two assists in the 7-0 blowout of West Virginia. He was also instrumental in the Panthers’ 1-0 win against Columbia on Tuesday. Then there is leading scorer, Kizza — who hails from Uganda and played for Florida powerhouse Montverde Academy in high school — and has three goals in the last two games against WVU and Syracuse. He also found the back of the net in the Panthers’ loss versus a tough North Carolina team. As a true freshman who has the highest scoring record on the team this season so far, he has given the Panthers the push they need to attack the goal. On defense, Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Mikal Outcalt played well in his first year as a starter for the Panthers. He already has three clean sheets on the year and his highest goal total allowed in a game was two against Wake Forest. Despite these strong performances, the

season has still been up and down for the Panthers. Hoping for a good start to the season at the Wolstein Classic in Columbus, Ohio, the Panthers instead found themselves with an 0-2 start, losing both games 1-0 to Ohio State and James Madison. Pitt bounced back in the next two games, winning at home against Longwood 2-1 and 1-0 at Loyola Maryland. The Panthers then started to play some of their toughest competitors in the ACC. And like the previous few years, they struggled against the ACC competition, losing 2-1 to North Carolina, 2-0 to Wake Forest and 3-0 to Clemson. It wasn’t surprising to see the Panthers struggle against these teams. All three are ranked in the top 25 and in the most recent U.S. coaches poll. The top competition in the ACC is a tough setting for a rebuilding Pitt team. Seven out of the 12 teams are ranked in the coaches’ poll and in the ACC Coastal division — Pitt and Virginia Tech are among the five unranked teams. The schedule ahead for the Panthers doesn’t favor them much, either. Three of the next seven teams they face are ranked in the top 25 — No. 19 Duke, No. 9 Notre Dame and No. 11 Virginia. The only game Pitt will have a good chance
to win will be against Penn State (2-6-2), but that will still be a tough, rivalrous game and the Panthers will have to play well against the Nittany Lions. Pitt will have to rely on all players to really show up for games. The defense needs to solidify if Pitt even wants to stand a chance. Seniors Mauriq Hill, Matt Bischoff, Pol Planellas and Bryce Cregan will need to shore up the back and keep the team focused and under control. If history indicates anything, the Panthers will be defeated in most of the games they have left in their schedule. They have 16 consecutive losing seasons and a 17th this year wouldn’t be unlikely with the difficult opponents they will face. But this Pitt team has done much better these last few games. Besides the Clemson game in which they lost 3-0, they have kept the other games close and competitive. They can prove the doubters wrong by picking up some wins — especially in the ACC. As they continue to work toward a winning season that will turn the program around, the team will need to stay on top of scoring and keep their defense strong. Up next, the Panthers take on the Duke Blue Devils Friday night at Ambrose Urbanic Field at 7 p.m, where they can put their winning streak to the test.
