Four Pitt students studying abroad in France are alive and unhurt after Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris, the University Study Abroad Office confirmed Sunday. On Friday, Nov. 13, eight terrorists in three groups conducted an organized massacre in Paris at a concert at Le Bataclan, outside a soccer game at the Stade de France and at two cafes. The attacks, which French President François Hollande called “an act of war,” have left 129 people dead and 352 injured. In a statement Pitt’s Study Abroad Office issued Sunday morning, the office said it was “saddened by the loss of life” in France, and that it had heard from all four students study- Visitors get their first look at the intricate woodwork inside the Korean Nationality Room during its grand opening Saturday afternoon on the third floor of the Cathedral of Learning.

News Away from home, Students celebrate diwali Pitt rescinds Cosby’s degree

Dale Shoemaker News Editor

Joining numerous other universities around the country on Friday, Pitt rescinded the honorary degree it awarded to Bill Cosby in 2002. The University Committee for Honorary Degree Recipients recommended unanimously Friday, Nov. 13, that Pitt rescind the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree it awarded comedian and actor Cosby in 2002 for “his lifetime of high achievement” after he spoke at Pitt Johnstown’s commencement ceremony. “The committee found that certain actions on Cosby’s part — unknown to the public at the time and subsequently admitted by him — were in conflict with the stated basis for awarding the degree and inconsistent with the core values and principles of the University,” Pitt spokesperson Ken Service said in an email. Debate among schools on whether to rescind now centers on what the schools knew at the time they awarded the degree. Since his commencement speech at Pitt Johnstown, more than 50 accusers have come forward with allegations that Cosby sexually assaulted them over the course of his career. According to accusations, Cosby sexually assaulted women from the mid-1960s up through the early 2000s. Cosby has admitted to giving drugs to women and having sex with them, but has said the interactions were always consensual and that he never assaulted anyone. According to previous Pitt News reporting, Service said Pitt has never rescinded an honorary See Cosby on page 3

For The Pitt News This weekend, dancing shoes covered the floor of Bellefield Hall as Pitt students and community members feasted on Indian food and celebrated the Festival of Lights. On Saturday, Nov. 14, 420 people gathered in Bellefield Hall Auditorium from 7 to 10:30 p.m. to watch musical performances and celebrate the fist day of Diwali, a multiday celebration that aims to cast out evil and bring joy into the lives of friends and family, according to senior Reena Naik, Hindu Students Council president. HSC organized the two-day event to give an opportunity for students away from home to celebrate the holiday with friends and traditional Indian food. “It’s really celebrating how good can always overcome evil, and celebrating hap-

piness, joy, family and friends,” Naik said. Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is a religious holiday for Hindus, Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs. According to Hindu tradition, the holiday celebrates the return of Lord Rama, a great warrior king, after 14 years of exile from Ayodhya, an ancient city of India, and his defeat of Ravana of Lanka, an evil demon. To celebrate, the people of Ayodhya lit rows of clay lamps, according to Society for the Confluence of Festivals in India. According to Sikh tradition, Diwali is a celebration of the return of the sixth guru from captivity. For Jains, the holiday recognizes the life and the nirvana of Lord Mahavira, who established the system of dharma that the Jain religion follows. Strings of lights hung above the packed auditorium as audience members enjoyed musical performances from cultural danc-

ing and singing groups across campus. The audience erupted into laughter or sang along when the performances made a reference to Bollywood, the Hindi language film industry. A French flag hung over the balcony to show solidarity, while an Indian and an American flag represented the blending of the two cultures. The performances highlighted the diversity of talents and beliefs at Pitt and in the community by showcasing a variation of performances from traditional bhangra dancing, to a cappella, to beatboxing. Because many people are not familiar with South Asian culture, the performances featured the diversity of the community in a vivid, exciting way, Naik said.

Nordenberg, chancellor emeritus; David Kim, co-chairman of the Korean Heritage Room Committee; and Gheewhan Kim, consul general of the Republic of Korea in New York. Nordenberg, who accepted the key to the room on behalf of Chancellor Gallagher, stressed that Pitt has an “extraordinary presence of alumni in South Korea.” He added, “There is an unbreakable bond between our countries.” “This room will stand as a perpetual reminder of the miraculous transformation [South Korea] has made to a global economic power,” Nordenberg said. The Korean Central Church of Pittsburgh, Korean United Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Korean Assembly of God and Mt. Zion Korean Church collaborated to bring choir singing, drum dancing and taekwondo to the ceremony. These organizations funded the festivities through donations from community members and organizations from both Pittsburgh and Korea. According to Lim, Korean Central Church of Pittsburgh members cooked the traditional Ko-

rean food at the festival, such as cinnamon spice tea, kimbap — a rice roll filled with vegetables — and tteok — rice cake. Following the formal dedication ceremony — which concluded with a performance of “Arirang Fantasy,” composed by Sung Hwan Choi and performed by the Pittsburgh Korean Philharmonic— was a reception next door in the Commons Room of the Cathedral of Learning. At the reception, audience members watched taekwondo and performances from choir and dance groups, including Korean Traditional Dance, Korean Children’s Small Drum Dance and Korean Children’s Choir. The groups were either a part of the sponsoring organizations or invited by the Korean Central Church of Pittsburgh, according to Lim. Lim said she could not estimate the number of people that attended the event. People crowded the usually spacious ground floor of the Cathedral for a variety of Korean foods, performances by local Korean cultural groups and guided tours of the new Nationality Room. Many of the female attendees and performers wore Hanboks, traditional Korean dresses, while male performers wore either versions of Hanboks or the traditional taekwondo

robes, doboks. “My husband is the official photographer for the Nationality Room, so I’ve gotten to see pictures throughout the whole process of construction,” Pittsburgh native Ruth Kim said of the photos of workers assembling the hand-carved wood that now fills the room. “I think the Nationality Rooms are a big part of the Pittsburgh community, and it’s great to see this one represent a newer group of immigrants.” Bong Ryol Kim said he based the room off of the Hall of Enlightenment, or myung-ryoondang, in the Royal Academy of Seoul, a place of education, built during the Joseon Dynasty. In the back of the room, wooden doors fold down to turn the room into a square — resembling the traditional Korean room — or brought up to a reveal an area enclosed by windows — resembling the Korean design of classrooms leading to courtyards. For John Kang, a member of the Korean Central Church of Pittsburgh, the room is a source of pride. “I understand this has been a longtime goal, and they put in a lot of fundraising,” Kang said. “As a member of this society, I am proud to see this happening.”

Some other schools that have awarded Cosby an honorary degree, including George Washington University and the University of Pennsylvania, have issued statements that they will not rescind Cosby’s degrees because it has never been their policy to do so.

Syrian refugees should not be feared following Paris attacks As Syrian refugees flee their wartorn communities, the ripples of terrorism abroad slams the exit door in their faces. On Friday, Islamic State terrorists attacked public spaces in Paris , killing at least 129 people. On Saturday, French officials determined that one of the attackers had been carrying a Syrian passport. Already, European countries have started to recoil by closing their borders to Syrian refugees. An agreement that the European Union reached to distribute 160,000 refugees among all the member states is now fraying at the ends. At a time of increasingly global terrorism threats, Western countries should not turn their back on refugees who need their assistance — we should unite, not disband, in response to extremism. We cannot let the fear of terrorism dictate our response to Syrian refugees. Ignoring their plight does not keep us safe — it only fuels the passionate radicalism at the root of terrorists’ misguided outrage. Terrorism happens when individuals feel ostracized from a group, or nation. This feeling of ostracization causes individuals to seek acceptance from other groups and makes them more susceptible to influences from terrorist organizations. The Security Service, or MI5, which is responsible for protecting the United Kingdom against threats to national security, conducted an analysis

pittnews.com

on radicalization. The analysis determined that the experience of migrating to Britain and facing marginalization and racism were key vulnerabilities for adopting extremist ideology, according to findings detailed by The Guardian. Responding to the Paris attacks with backlash against Syrian refugees wrongly punishes victims for their perpetrator’s acts. That’s not to say that countries should overlook the safety of their citizens to accept Syrian refugees. In response to the Paris attacks, European countries have strengthened the screening process at their borders. This heightened scrutiny doesn’t have to cease. Screening refugees prevents those that make it past the border from facing stigmatization from the country’s residents. To dispel stigma against Syrian refugees, citizens must have faith in the screening process and understand its intricacies. As Western countries work to strengthen their screening processes, they should maintain transparency by publicizing the process they ultimately adopt. They should also work to make sure that the system is efficient — addressing concerns, but not aimlessly constricting refugee access. They need to address the public’s fear of Syrian refugees, but they shouldn’t adopt it themselves. In a time of vulnerability, Syrian refugees need acceptance, not reproach.

Don’t let tragedy ignite anti-muslim sentiment Courtney Linder Senior Columnist

Terrorism is the unauthorized use of violence for political gains — not a facet of a specific culture. Terrorism is a fear tactic that anyone can instigate — not a doctrine certain religious sects must follow. Terrorism is an annihilation of basic human rights — not the consequence of wearing a certain article of clothing. Considering the response to the tragedy that struck Paris over the weekend, it’s time to challenge such preconceived notions about terrorism, Islam and cultures east of Europe. Three teams of ISIS terrorists are responsible for the growing Parisian death toll, according to The New York Times. But this doesn’t mean the entire Muslim nation is inherently dangerous. In the wake of global tragedy, we can’t solely stand in solidarity with victims if we hope to affect change — we must completely re-evaluate the way we conceptualize terrorism. Specifically, we must address and eliminate instances of anti-Muslim sentiment in response to terrorism

November 16, 2015

within Western cultures — particularly in the United States, United Kingdom and France. I recognize why Western society turns to anti-Muslim sentiment for comfort — there is an archetype for the common terrorist, an easy pitfall for you to mistakenly place your anger. It’s a jihadist screaming “Allahu Akbar.” It’s a woman wearing a burka. All terrorists are Muslims — except for the 94 percent who aren’t. As of February 2013, Muslim-Americans have orchestrated only 33 of 300 terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, according to the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security. By the same token, FBI data collected between 1980 and 2005 reveals that during this time period more Jewish extremists carried out terrorist attacks than Muslims. So, Jewish radicals can commit acts of terrorism without others immediately stigmatizing them for their actions, yet Muslims are automatically terrorists. In short, if a white person did it, it’s murder or a massacre. When the perpetrator is brown, it’s terrorism. This

presents a damaging paradigm. Skin color does not correlate to extremist agendas. According to Pew Research Center, roughly 1.6 billion people are Muslim — or about 23 percent of the world population. By my estimates, if Islam advocated for violence, we’d all be dead by now. But if you don’t trust me, look to Europol, the European Union’s law enforcement agency. According to its 2014 European Union Terrorism Situation and Trend Report, only two of the 152 terrorist attacks in the EU in 2013 were “religiously motivated.” The reality is that most terrorist attacks are a product of separatist organizations with political agendas. Unfortunately, we have branded Islamic separatists to represent nearly one-fourth of the world’s population, as illustrated by Western conceptions of Muslim people. In the United States, anti-Islamic actions have been on the rise since 9/11. According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program, anti-Muslim hate See Linder on page 7

Linder, pg. 6 crimes increased by about 1,600 percent since 2001, compared with the number of similar instances in 2000. Most visibly, Craig Hicks, a neighbor of two of the students, murdered three Muslim students in a hate crime this year in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Sadly, even two of our presidential candidates made anti-Islamic comments. In September, Ben Carson told NBC that he “would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation,” and Donald Trump said “a certain segment [of Muslims] are certainly a problem.” In England, Londoners spat on Muslim women who choose to wear the niqab or burka and covered them in feces. Overall, anti-Muslim crime in London rose by 70 percent between 2014 and 2015, according to the BBC. Discrimination against British Muslims is so pronounced that a report produced by the Islamic Human Rights Commission came out this year to argue that “people who commit such acts are provoked to do so by an environment of hatred caused by policy, media and law that targets a hated society.” This “environment of hatred” can help explain the current situation in France. In 2010, the French government introduced a veil law that banned women from covering their face in public, an outward form of discrimination against Muslim women. Anti-Muslim hate rhetoric in France has flourished in a post-Charlie Hebdo climate. Following the attacks on the satirical Parisian newspaper earlier in 2015, anti-Islamic attacks increased by about 23.5 percent, according to a report by Collective Against Islamophobia in France. These examples cover just three Western countries’ perceptions of Muslims, so don’t tell me anti-Muslim sentiment isn’t real. In response to the tragedy in Paris, people set fire to the Calais migrant camp — which houses primarily Muslim refugees. This reciprocal violence is unfounded. There is no reason to deny Muslim refugees a safe place. It is asinine to think that allowing these refugees into a country will increase the number of terrorist attacks simply because they are Muslim. It is inhumane to blame an entire nation for the workings of a few separatists. It is naive to fight violence with more violence.

pittnews.com

As Westerners, we have a tendency to stigmatize what we don’t understand. About a year ago, I wrote about the misconceptions Muslim women face for simply wearing headscarves in a column called “Behind the Veil.” Today, not only has the status of Muslims not improved, it has consistently declined.

Road warriors: Pitt wins at duke Volleyball

splits final two road matches

Chris Puzia

Assistant Sports Editor Trading ties for tackles, Pat Narduzzi calls road football games — which his team have dominated — business trips. The Panthers, following their last road game of the season Saturday, now sport a 5-1 road record and have created their own Heinz Field atmosphere away from home with consistent, smart play. Narduzzi credits that success to his team’s game mentality. “It’s hard to get wins on the road,” Narduzzi said. “And our kids have been road warriors. We’re sitting at 5-1 in the conference and seven wins total, and we’re going to try to get two more back home in Pittsburgh.” With its most recent 31-13 win at Duke on Saturday, Pitt still has only one road loss this season, when No. 5 Iowa downed the Panthers with a 57yard field goal in the last seconds of the game. Quarterback Nathan Peterman’s stat line from Saturday is evidence enough that Pitt can thrive and play mistake-free away from home. The redshirt junior completed an efficient 13-23 passing and tied his career high with three touchdowns. More importantly, he did not turn the ball over. He credited that ball control to his offensive line. “All season, I’ve had time. The Oline does a phenomenal job. To have that kind of time to go through a couple reads is great for our offense,” Peterman said. “I’m really proud of them.” Pitt’s only turnover came on a fumble late in the game, and the Panthers forced three Duke turnovers — including Pitt freshman safety Jordan Whitehead’s first career interception.

The win kept Pitt in the race for the ACC Coastal, though it will need help from No. 12 North Carolina. The Tar Heels hold a one-game advantage for the division crown on Pitt, so if the Panthers win their final two games, they will need North Carolina to lose both of its final games. That battle for the

crown starts on Saturday when Louisville comes to Heinz Field. Considering its recent home stumbles, holding onto the football will be paramount. Pitt’s two-game losing streak prior to Saturday featured home losses to North Carolina and No. 5 Notre Dame, See Football on page 9

Pitt volleyball experienced the power of time firsthand when two foes the team dominated in September now plagued it over the weekend. The Panthers (21-7, 11-5 ACC) lost 3-0 to North Carolina on Friday and edged North Carolina State 3-2 Saturday in two matches starkly different than their meetings in September. Last time, Pitt defeated NC State 3-1 and UNC 3-0, but this time, split its road trip with a close five-set victory over the Wolfpack. In the first match of the weekend, Pitt squared off against No. 25 North Carolina on Friday. The Tar Heels entered winning seven straight matches, seemingly improved and having earned ranked status since Pitt’s 3-0 win over them in September. Pitt opened the match with powerful attacks, jumping out to an 8-2 lead with four kills by graduate transfer outside hitter Kadi Kullerkann during the stretch. North Carolina responded to eventually tie the Panthers at 19 apiece. Play stayed tight as a serving error from each squad brought the score to 26 on both sides. The Tar Heels took control from there, hitting two kills to take the set 28-26. The second set was a different story for the Panthers, as their offensive production fell off from a hitting percentage of See Volleyball on page 9

Football, pg. 8 in which it turned the ball over once in each game. Peterman said given the previous two disappointing results, it was paramount to come out strong against Duke, especially given the unfriendly environment. “I think we just were tired of [losing],” Peterman said. “We knew we needed a win, and so to come out here and get that was huge for us.” Senior center Artie Rowell said keeping steady and staying focused on the game helped his team down in Durham. “The key to being a leader is to keep everything levelheaded,” Rowell said. “You have to stay calm and keep everyone not too high or not too low.” Whether it came from having a game plan against the opponents or a dedication to safe, efficient offense, Pitt has focused on the ground game while on the road. In its last two road games at Duke and at Georgia Tech, the Panthers rushed

pittnews.com

the ball a combined 101 times, winning both games. Hosting North Carolina and Notre Dame at home, Pitt ran a total of 68 times — but lost each time. “That was one of our points of emphasis, was to pound the ball,” Peterman said. “We wanted to be a physical team against them.” Narduzzi said the team’s primary focus on the road is maintaining consistency. “It’s about being who we are and not changing when you’re on the road,” Narduzzi said. “I mean, when you get down here, our guys are ready to play. So I don’t know if it would have mattered if we were home or away. We just find a way to do what we’re supposed to do.” He said part of that consistent identity comes from not compromising the team’s game plan based on the game’s location. “Our guys, we talked about it being a business trip wherever we go,” Narduzzi said. “But I hope [athletic director] Scott Barnes doesn’t get any ideas that we want to play 12 games on the road next year.”

Volleyball, pg. 8 .312 to .062. Senior middle hitter Amanda Orchard said the team didn’t attack as much as it should have. “I think we got a little nervous and got a little tentative,” Orchard said. North Carolina took an early 9-4 lead to start the second set. The Panthers hit six errors in that stretch to give the opportunistic Tar Heels the advantage. Despite sloppy play, Pitt stayed in the

November 16, 2015

match, pulling as close as a one-point deficit at 15-14. The combination of North Carolina’s efficient play and Pitt’s carelessness doomed the Panthers, who dropped the second set 25-20. With a difficult 2-0 set hole, Pitt came out and took an early lead at 8-5. The Tar Heels used five Pitt errors to storm back and pull to a 20-20 tie. North Carolina pulled away, winning the next five points to win the final set 25-20 and the match 3-0. See Volleyball on page 10

Volleyball, pg. 9 Amid the team’s sloppy play, Kullerkann excelled, hitting 18 kills in the match. “I just wanted to leave it all out on the court, and I tried to do my best to help the team,” Kullerkann said. Friday’s loss only elevated Pitt’s next weekend match on Saturday against NC State (15-12, 4-12 ACC), which the Panthers had previously beaten in Septem-

pittnews.com

ber. A fierce back and forth early on set the tone for what turned into a five-set match. After overcoming a small deficit in the first set, the Panthers took a 2625 lead with an upcoming set point. Pitt dropped the next point but gained another match point with the lead at 28-27. It couldn’t take advantage of the second chance, losing the following point and eventually the set 30-28. Orchard said the team missed a big opportunity to open up the match by dropping that first set.

“I think we should’ve taken that set from them, but we each knew we had to pick up our game just a little bit to pull out the match,” Orchard said. Pitt responded well in the following two sets, grabbing 25-22 wins in each. Despite the back-and-forth play, Pitt picked up its intensity at the end of both sets to earn victories. In the fourth set, NC State boosted its offensive efficiency, hitting .308. Pitt managed to match the Wolfpack’s level of play, tying the game up at 18 apiece

November 16, 2015

in the set. But NC State won seven of the next nine points to take the set 25-21 and force a winner-take-all set. With a 2-2 tied match, Pitt had to respond in a fifth set, with the first to 15 points winning the match . After a timeout down 11-9 in the set, the Panthers won the next six points to win the set 15-9 and the match 3-2. Sophomore middle blocker Kelsey O’Neill made a few crucial, point-winning hits late in the match. Head coach Dan Fisher switched O’Neill to play middle hitter in the final set, and she answered with three kills. “She came in and really helped us there,” Fisher said. The win helped salvage the road trip for the Panthers, who needed to escape with at least one win to bolster their tournament chances. With four more home matches before the NCAA announces the tournament field on Nov. 29, Pitt can help its chances by sweeping its upcoming competition to add to a strong tournament resume thanks to its 11-0 home record The first game of the homestand comes next Friday against Boston College at 7 p.m.
