There’s some options there, but I do feel my options dropping more year after year.” Panther Central announced Oct. 20 that some prices at Quick Zone would decrease effective Oct. 21, and new items would be added to the inventory. This came one week after Panther Central announced that Litchfield Towers Quick Zone would extend its hours from a 24-hour, fiveday-a-week schedule to 24 hours, seven days a week, beginning that day. Pitt spokesperson Joe Miksch said in an email that prices were lowered on dozens of items including milk, peanut butter, eggs, orange juice,

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security granted Pennsylvania an extension to comply with REAL ID requirements through fall 2018. The extension — granted Oct. 11 and in effect through Oct. 10, 2018 — means that during this time frame, all current Pennsylvania licenses and identification cards will be accepted for domestic-commercial flights and for entering federal buildings that require identification. Previously, as of Jan. 22, 2018, Pennsylvanians would have needed to present alternate identification — such as a passport — for these purposes. The REAL ID Act, passed by the U.S. Congress in 2005, mandated that states follow specific protocol and satisfy certain requirements when issuing driver’s licenses and identification cards if the federal government is to recognize the documents as valid. The government passed this act following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. A Pennsylvania law passed in 2012 prevented the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation from complying with REAL ID. This legislation intended to maintain privacy rights for Pennsylvanians amid concerns about creating a national database of all registered license holders. The PA state legislature passed Act 3 of 2017 — also known as the Pennsylvania REAL ID Compliance Act — in May of this year, effectively repealing the 2012 law. REAL ID licenses and ID cards will

7-ELEVEN’S CLOSING LEAVES STUDENTS CONFLICTED Nina Kneuer Staff Writer Regina Brecker said 7-Eleven “saved [her] life” on more than one occasion when she pulled allnighters in the library. “Without it, I would have had to walk all the way to the McDonald’s for food,” Brecker said. “This was so important, especially when I was living in the dorms and didn’t have the option to go home and use a kitchen, either.” But Brecker doesn’t just miss the late night snacks and 7-Eleven’s customizable coffees — which she said were the only “palatable caffeine option on campus” for her. She said she sees the closing as more of a community loss than a personal one. “I also thought about the young local cashier [at 7-Eleven] who told me about his life goals, and gave me a free soda at 4 a.m. because I seemed

stressed,” the Pitt graduate student studying behavioral and community health science said. 7-Eleven closed Sept. 29 to make way for a Pitt-owned grocery store, expected to open sometime during the spring semester. But not all students welcome this change, including first-year engineering major Brenna Sweeney. “I wish it hadn’t closed because stuff there was cheaper, and they had a wider variety than places like Market To-Go and Towers,” Sweeney said. “It feels like I’m being forced to go to Market To-Go, because it’s close. Ari Peck, a junior social work major, said he feels he has to travel to other parts of town to buy the basic things that he needs — such as toothpaste — because more Pitt-affiliated stores seem to be replacing cheaper stores that students frequent. “Considering that the on-campus options

In a price comparison performed by The Pitt News, we found some prices at Quick Zone were lowered to match 7-Eleven’s former prices, such as a half gallon of milk, which dropped from $3.09 to the current price of $2.69. Other items, such as peanut butter, dropped in price but remained more expensive than they were at 7-Eleven. Jif peanut butter dropped from $4.79 to $3.99 — about $0.20 more than 7-Eleven sold it for. Miksch also said new items such as toilet paper, brillo pads and condoms will be added to the stock of items offered at Quick Zone. He said the assortment is driven by demand and is based on what students need. “If there are other items students need, they should just ask a manager or visit the bi-weekly Eat and Greet food meeting and Sodexo will be happy to look for the item to carry in the stores,” Miksch said.

The state will need to make a system, building infrastructure and process changes to issue REAL ID-compliant cards. REAL ID would cost about $100 million to implement and $40 million to maintain annually. PennDOT did not immediately respond to questions regarding whether identification cards not compliant with REAL ID will be accepted in the interim between Oct. 10, 2018 and spring 2019.

Responding to sexual misconduct, NPR succeeds where Dartmouth fails

Rejecting his legacy, Flake boldly speaks out

Sprawled across Dartmouth College’s campus last week were posters that read “Where is Prof. Paul Whalen?” and “Where is Prof. Bill Kelley?” The signs refer to two of the three professors at Dartmouth who had been absent from campus for quite some time — as it turns out, the three professors were on paid administrative leave in connection with sexual misconduct violations. But students didn’t initially suspect Todd Heatherton, William Kelley and Paul Whalen, professors of psychology and brain sciences conducting research regarding sexual desire and attractiveness, were at the center of any scandals — the university offered no explanation as to why they were on paid administrative leave until student-run newspaper The Dartmouth broke the news. In fact, since the only official statement from the university came after the news, there’s no indication when and if it would have been issued if not for The Dartmouth. And in the seemingly post-Weinstein era of allegations, Dartmouth had the chance to take an appropriately strong stance against sexual misconduct — however, it utterly failed when compared to NPR’s response to sexual misconduct allegations of its own Wednesday. Now-former NPR Head of News Michael Oreskes resigned after allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced yesterday morning. The allegations date back to the 90s, when Oreskes was working at The New York Times as the Washington bureau chief — and the allegations resurfaced in an article

pittnews.com

by the Washington Post Tuesday. NPR also reported Oreskes allegedly harassed at least one woman while working at NPR. In response to these allegations, NPR CEO Jarl Mohn made the logical and transparent decision to simply ask for Oreskes’ resignation — which he received, effective immediately. Not only did Mohn act quickly in the face of controversy, but he also made the brave move toward transparency by going public with the news. “This morning I asked Mike Oreskes for his resignation because of inappropriate behavior,” Mohn wrote in an email to NPR staff Wednesday. “I have received his resignation, effective immediately.” NPR tactfully handled Oreskes’ allegations not by hiding the news of their institution, but by choosing to act swiftly and calling it what it was — sexual harassment. Approaching sexual harassment while trying to protect an image only reinforces a dangerous veil of secrecy allowing the issue to grow and fester, and even undermines the seriousness of the crime. And this is exactly what Dartmouth did. By failing to issue a proactive statement regarding its own internal affairs, these crimes could have gone undiscussed, perpetuating a dangerous cycle of unheard survivors. Unfortunately NPR couldn’t serve as an example to Dartmouth — but if all institutions responded the way NPR did, the conversation would at least be honest and one step toward finally addressing the problem.

Ana Altchek For The Pitt News Growing up in a town between Princeton and Trenton, New Jersey, I was exposed to a diverse population — both racially and economically. And while I am grateful I grew up in a place that encouraged a progressive mind-set, this naturally precluded conservative views. A lot of people in my town thought this was a good thing — in fact, I distinctly remember a conversation in my high school AP Government class in which the only conservative male was labeled a racist and sexist by 25 liberal females, simply for expressing his thoughts on what it means to be self-made man. But after hearing Arizona Republican Senator Jeff Flake’s resignation speech Oct. 24, I realized being exposed to both sides of

November 2, 2017

the political argument can have its merits — and sometimes, going against major parties is the only way to be heard. Blind accusations — such as those made against my male classmate and against President Donald Trump every day — are more common since the 2016 election. Not only is the media remarkably biased and critical of every action the president takes, the criticism has reached a low point where even average Republican voters are assumed to be racist and misogynistic by association. The Washington Post recently dedicated an entire article to mocking Melania Trump’s decision to wear heels — a story without any political merit, and just one example of the media using meaningless details as an excuse to publish a story against the president.

‘Stranger Things 2:’

returns Twists, turns and The 80s Sarah Morris | Staff Writer Putting the number two after a title is dangerous — sequels are hard to make and rarely live up to the originals. And while the second season of “Stranger Things,” released last Friday, falls victim in some ways to the sequel slump, it was a solid nine episodes that indulged in the things people loved so much about season one — namely its popular cast of characters and unapologetic nostalgia. The season isn’t without true pitfalls, and there are times when the story suffers. The buildup early in the season is great — the suspenseful introduction of a new monster mixed with recurring ideas from the previous season creates tension and questions about what will happen next. And with most of the exposition from season one out of the way, there’s no struggle to believe in the supernatural this time around. Much of season one dealt with characters — especially the adults — needing to come to terms with something inexplicable happening, and it took up a lot of the story. But in this season, almost everyone involved already knows about and believes in the Upside Down. And for the new characters who don’t, their induction into the strange new world isn’t at the forefront of the plot. When bad things start happening, there is no need to question reality. It almost becomes humorous to watch Police Chief Hopper — such a skeptic before — immediately jump to supernatural conclusions when a patch of pumpkins rot. The collective decision of the characters to accept the weirdness happening allows more time for the story to develop, and for the audience to be on the same side as the characters. Instead of the dramatic irony of the first season where we waited and waited for them to figure out what was happening, there are times when the characters are even one step ahead of the viewers, which creates a new kind of tension in the show. But the great aspects of the first season were still there. Several of the characters from the original season quickly became iconic after last summer — from Eleven and her psychic powers, which she wields with no trepidation, to Steve Harrington and his gorgeous mass of hair. Eleven gets a punk makeover that makes her look as badass as her actions are when she kills the bad guys with a swipe of her hand. And Steve, his hair somehow even bigger than it was before, becomes good to

the point of dopiness as he turns into a babysitter for the kids on their mission, quickly earning the moniker of “Dad Steve” from fans everywhere. The show does this for all of its main characters in the ensemble — it explores them further than they were able to in the

Abby Katz| STAFF ILLUSTRATOR first season, and allows viewers to indulge in what they came to love about them. By the time the season is approaching its climax in the eighth episode, all of these characters end up in one place at the same time — the group completed when Eleven, who has been isolated for most of the season, walks in the door. A ragtag group of kids, a mom who loves her son so much she’d go

November 2, 2017

to the ends of the earth for him, an honest and hardworking police chief and some teenagers who ended up along for the ride all coming together in unexpected ways to save the day is what makes the season great. And the season introduces several new characters too — some of which, it seems, will be loved as dearly as the originals. There’s Max, the tomboy who infiltrates the core group of friends. Then there’s her older brother Billy — the season’s only true human antagonist who looks like a rockstar but is genuinely the worst person to grace the screen. And then there’s Bob, the season’s sacrifice who was so good and pure that there’s no way he could have made it out alive. The characters aren’t the only things that have gotten bigger and better with the new season. The show is known for its throwback setting, and it definitely delivers on that front. The show is chock full of pop culture references from the 80s. There are the Halloween costumes — the boys all roll up to school in full out “Ghostbusters” gear and Nancy and Steve don “Risky Business” outfits to the big party. And then there’s the music — Duran Duran, Bon Jovi, Cyndi Lauper and The Police all make appearances. The season works to ground its viewers firmly in the 80s, and even though it gets a little heavy-handed or obvious at times, it works because it’s what was so much fun about the show to begin with. The conclusion of the season falls flat, though. The final battle holds little gravity, and the solution feels like it was thrown together with a need for resolution. The buildup of the shadow monster was a letdown in the end — there was no feasible way to fight it, so they only closed the gate to seal it off. But even after the letdown of the season’s climax, the true end of the show comes in the denouement with an awkward middle school dance, where all of the boys get the girl, and Mike and Eleven finally reunite. The sappiness of the scene is almost sickening, but it works because this is the payoff we wanted for these characters. For all that they’ve been put through — across two seasons now — there is a desire to see them in a moment of normality and happiness. Strangely enough, this is where season two shines the brightest — in the moments in between all of the action, indulging in the fun and freaky world within the town of Hawkins.

FIGHTING IRISH KNOCK OUT PANTHERS, 5-0

First-year forward Alexander Dexter set the team up for a penalty kick after a Notre Dame defender deflected the shot. John Hamilton | MANAGING EDITOR

Dominic Campbell Staff Writer The Pitt men’s soccer team might have defeated Notre Dame in the team’s first meeting of the season, but the Irish came prepared to fight for an ACC Tournament first-round win. Notre Dame (10-5-2 overall, 4-3-2 ACC) defeated the Panthers (8-10 overall, 2-7 ACC) 5-0 Wednesday, Nov. 1 — ultimately ending Pitt’s season. The Panthers’ starting lineup was noticeably void of some key players, namely junior midfielder Javi Perez, senior defender Pol Planellas and captain redshirt senior defender Bryce Cregan. All three were out with injuries. The Irish outshot the Panthers 22-12 for the game, with senior forwards Jeff Farina and Jon Gallagher tallying four shots each. The Irish also had 10 shots on goal to the Panthers’ three. Pitt also recorded 15 fouls to Notre Dame’s two. It didn’t take long for the Irish to get started, and Farina got the first chance. He hit a shot in the box that bounced off the side of the post into Pitt’s redshirt sopho-

more goalkeeper Mikal Outcalt’s hands. Outcalt tried to clear the ball for the Panthers, but Gallagher blocked the attempt with his body. The ball hit his shoulder hard enough to send the ball into the goal and give Notre Dame the lead, 1-0, within two minutes of play. The Irish took two more shots before the Panthers recorded one. First-year forward Edward Kizza took the first shot, but drilled the ball over the net. Notre Dame wasn’t thrown off by the attempt and retaliated with a score less than a minute later. This time junior defender Sean Dedrick ran down the side of the field and delivered a pass to senior midfielder Blake Townes. Townes then broke free from senior Pitt defender Matt Bischoff and hit the ball into the net, increasing Notre Dame’s lead to 2-0. The Fighting Irish weren’t satisfied with the margin they had created. With a series of four shots, the Notre Dame offense tried to push further into the lead. Kizza tried again to decrease the deficit, but again he fell short. Notre Dame junior defender Felicien

First-year forward Edward Kizza took Pitt’s first shot on goal in the Panthers’ 5-0 loss to Notre Dame Wednesday night. Sarah Cutshall | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Dumas then took advantage of a foul on Pitt in the 38th minute. Setting himself up at the free kick, Dumas bent the ball into the right post, sending it sailing past diving Outcalt to give Notre Dame a 3-0 lead. Pitt sophomore forward Josh Coan tried to avenge Pitt’s deficit, but graduate senior goalkeeper Chris Hubbard blocked his shot. He tried again, but a foul on the Panthers stopped the play before he could have any success. The Panthers stepped up their physical play in the final five minutes of the first half. They committed three more fouls before the half ended with the Irish holding onto their 3-0 lead. Pitt ended the first half with three shots to Notre Dame’s 12 and zero corners to the Irish’s six. Gallagher opened the second half with two shots in less than three minutes. Outcalt saved both attempts and prevented Notre Dame from advancing its score. Dedrick followed with a cross in the box, which Outcalt swatted away. After the save, though, Outcalt hit the ball right to Farina. He took advantage of

the inadvertent assist and scored Notre Dame’s fourth goal of the game in the fourth minute of the second half. First-year forward Alexander Dexter answered with the Panthers’ best shot of the game. He set the team up for a penalty kick after his shot was deflected by the hands of an Irish defender. First-year forward Colin Brezniak took the kick, but Hubbard denied the shot. Brezniak took a chance on the rebound, but his shot sailed high over the net and held the Panthers scoreless. Three more Panthers followed with shots, but just as with their predecessors, nothing changed the score. After a Pittsburgh foul, Dumas took a corner kick for Notre Dame. He crossed the ball into Farina, who scored again, making the score 5-0. This also marked Dumas’ eighth goal of the season. Pitt head coach Jay Vidovich decided to switch out the goalkeeper in the 64th minute of the game. Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Jacob Rooth replaced Outcalt, marking Rooth’s second appearance of the season. See Soccer Recap on page 7

Altchek, pg. 3

The Irish still weren’t content with their 5-0 lead and answered two Pitt fouls with two more shots. Rooth was able to block one, but didn’t have to do much when the second shot went wide. There were more substitutions in the final 20 minutes than there were shots. Notre Dame followed Pitt’s lead and replaced its goalkeeper. Junior goalkeeper Ryan Krutz finished out the remaining 10 minutes of the game. As Pitt’s final three shots missed the mark with two going wide and one going high, the clock ran out. Notre Dame blew Pitt out of the water and out of the ACC Tournament with a 5-0 defeat. This loss marked the final game of the Panthers’ record-breaking 2017 season. They recorded their first ACC conference win, their first win against a ranked opponent since 2008 and their first win against a top 10 ranked opponent since 2000 all in this season. The Fighting Irish will continue in the ACC Tournament Nov. 5 with a 1 p.m. game against No. 2 North Carolina.

But one Republican spoke out enthusiastically against Trump since the beginning — Flake. In his resignation speech, he not only expressed distaste for the president but tried to speak on behalf of the general public, which he feels is not properly represented by the current administration’s values. “The personal attacks, the threats against principles, freedoms and institution, the flagrant disregard for truth and decency,” Flake said, “[have] nothing whatsoever to do with the fortunes of the people that we have been elected to serve”. And Flake thinks the problem isn’t just the current administration’s values — he seems to think the entire party has changed. “I don’t think we ought to normalize this kind of behavior,” he said. When CNN reporter Jake Tapper later asked Flake to clarify what kind of behaviors he was referring to, he admitted he felt his responsibility to speak up developed throughout Trump’s presidential campaign. He specifically noted when Trump referred to Mexicans as rapists and criticized a judge because of his Mexican ancestry. He also mentioned when Trump said he couldn’t refer to Sen.

John McCain, R-Ariz., as a war hero because he was captured. Flake said his final breaking point was when Trump condoned sexual assault in the now-infamous “Access Hollywood” tape. These are all examples of preposterous presidential behavior — and while Trump was critiqued by many, such as former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and McCain, during the campaign, few Republican politicians have spoken up since. Perhaps it’s fear of retribution, or maybe the party has simply changed — either way, Flake couldn’t take it any longer. But his audacious speech received mixed reviews from those who questioned whether it was genuine or merely an act to receive attention before losing an election. “Based on previous statements and certainly based on the lack of support that he has from the people of Arizona, it’s probably a good move,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, referring to Flake’s decision to not seek re-election. She might have a point — Flake’s disparagingly low approval rate of 18 percent makes his chances of winning re-election close to impossible. But Flake’s approval ratings weren’t necessarily this low because of poor performance in office. In fact, the ratings are a direct result of his

strong and vocal disapproval for Trump during the campaign, which he has been bold enough to express for the last two years. And this outrage is completely surprising, considering Flake’s legacy and own potential in politics. Flake’s family has been involved in shaping America for generations — his great grandfather, William J. Flake, was such an impactful figure in Flake’s hometown of Snowflake, Arizona, that the town was named after him. “I’m aware that there’s a segment of my party that believes that anything short of complete and unquestioning loyalty to a president who belongs to my party is unacceptable and suspect,” Flake said. Speaking out consistently against the Republican leader of the country was near-certain political suicide that Flake knew he was committing — and it had the potential of destroying a legacy that he carried for generations. “He’s what I would call a real conservative”, Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said about Flake. Of course people will call Flake’s motives into question — but while there’s no way of knowing definitively whether he was genuine or not, his speech should still serve as a wake up call to both Republicans supporting Trump and Democrats who assume all Republicans are the same.
