STUDENTS SPAR IN FIRST ‘GREAT THREE-WAY DEBATE’

Madeline Gavatorta Staff Writer

Ben Sheppard, president of Pitt’s Libertarian group Students for Liberty, went after both major political parties in his opening remarks during the first-ever three-way debate with the College Democrats and the College Republicans Tuesday night. “Tonight on stage, there are two other parties — on one hand I have the party of corruption and control, on the other hand I have the party

of big war and big government,” Sheppard, who is a columnist for The Pitt News, said. “And to be honest with you, I can’t tell which one is which.” The debate was held in room 324 the Cathedral of Learning, where three prominent political groups on campus debated current issues including health care, student loans, private prisons and terrorism. Jonathan Merker, president of the Pitt Political Science Student Association, and a junior politics, philosophy and economics major, served as the moderator for the six debaters — two from each group.

Though the debate had three diverse viewpoints, a newer political group, the Pitt Progressives, was absent. According to Merker, the group was not invited since they have been “off [PSSA’s] radar.” PSSA — the debate’s organizing group — was not looking to actively recruit new groups for their programming this year, he said. “That was a miscommunication, I would say,” he said. “I already reached out to their president and we will definitely have them in further events, rest assured.” See Debate on page 2

Student Government Board member Ian Callahan announced at Tuesday’s meeting that the Rave Guardian app — an app created by Rave Mobile Safety that connects users with local security resources — is now available with features for Pitt students. Students who download the “blue light” app will be able to share their location with a friend or guardian when they feel in danger. The app also allows students to call either the Pitt police or 911 with the touch of a button. Other features include an alert system that notifies a student’s set emergency contacts if they don’t make it home within a pre-set time frame. SGB President Max Kneis said finalizing Pitt’s partnership with Rave Guardian took the board about two years. The board received approval for the app, which has Pitt-specific community safety features, after the University updated its emergency notification system. Callahan expressed the importance of the access to safety the app provides to students. “It just gives that next level of safety for all students. It gives peace of mind for people who are walking alone, makes sure that there’s someone always watching out for them,” Callahan said. Students can download the app for free through the Pitt App Store, the Apple App Store or Google Play to access better lines of communication with the Pitt police. See SGB on page 1

Jeff Migliozzi, a junior marketing major and president of Pitt Progressives, said he was disappointed the group wasn’t approached, feeling the debate was missing an important viewpoint. “I think [the debaters’] arguments, from what I saw, lacked a lot of passion. I think [Pitt Progressives] would have brought a way more convincing argument for actual leftist policy,” he said. The debate began on the topic of healthcare, with the Libertarians and Republicans agreeing people should have a right to try experimental drugs and import medicine from other countries. But Sheppard said the Republicans in Congress had failed to put forward solid legislation to achieve these goals. “Their Trumpcare policy is irresponsible and destructive. It’s even worse than Obamacare, Sheppard said. “It doesn’t offer the solutions that we need and increases more spending.” Arguing for the Democrats, debater Joseph Lehman, a freshman political science major, said a tax increase and universal healthcare would better aid the American people. “In order to keep our inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, we need to make sure that we protect everybody’s health, Lehman said. “Not only will universal health care provide medicine to all, we’ll also do it cheaply and efficiently.” Republican debater Peter Brath, a junior majoring in political science and economics, disagreed with the Democrats’ claim that the income gap would be reduced with the introduction of universal health care, saying it would cost college students about $4,000 a year for health

SGB, pg. 1 SGB also announced another opportunity related to student safety when board member Ciara Barry said the board will offer free selfdefense classes next semester. “A lot of our students live off campus. Walking home alone at night after a night of studying, people can feel kind of afraid or get anxiety, so just having anything that teaches students how to protect themselves is important,” Barry said. Beyond safety updates, SGB announced its agenda to help students get through finals week.

care if they decided to get their own plan. “The average 20-year-old spends about $700 a year on health care. This is essentially a regressive tax,” Brath said. Later in the event they debated the topic of terrorism, specifically discussing how much blame the United States has for the spread of anti-Western ideas and terrorist groups. Republican debater Anthony Marinelli, a sophomore history and Russian major, said it is the “fault of the U.S.” for the opposition to Western ideals because of what the United States stands for. “Westerns ideals rooted in the enlightened, rule of law, freedom of religion and expression human rights — these are not the beliefs that those in the Middle East and Muslims believe in large numbers,” Marinelli said. In response, College Democrats Business Manager Alex Rose, a sophomore political science and history major, said he took issue with the Republicans stating that it was a battle between Western civilization and radical Islam. “This isn’t just a fight between just Western civilization and radical Islam, we have allies in the Muslim world,” Rose said. “The biggest victims of terrorism in the world are Muslims. So we have to remember our allies that are dying in the Middle East.” Sheppard said the debate had a “good amount of tension” and thought the debaters and audience learned a lot. “I think the [other groups] articulated their personal positions, I thought they got their points across well even if I disagree with them,” he said. Sheppard said he would be interested in doing another debate like this one again, but he

would like to go up against a group other than the Republicans or the Democrats. “I would love to debate the Pitt Progressives. I want to see a good debate, since there’s an overlap in some areas and a clear divergence in some other issues,” he said, comparing the libertarian and progressive viewpoints. Audience member Benjamin Koo came to the event on assignment for his argumentation class as part of a requirement to listen in on a public debate. Koo, a sophomore mechanical engineering major, said he enjoyed hearing the differing political viewpoints on the topic of student loans,

which affects him personally, because he doesn’t often see this topic covered in the national news. “I generally know what each party stands for, but I like to see how the differences between their platforms plays out onto these different topics, especially the student loans part, because it’s relevant to my situation,” Koo said. PSSA tries to spread this type of political awareness, Merker said, and he thought the debate accomplished that. “We try to make all political voices heard and make political awareness on Pitt’s campus, which is a key focus of PSSA,” Merker said. “I believe we were able to do that tonight.”

Wellness Chair Maggie Kennedy said committee members will be handing out stress balls, hand sanitizer and handbooks about healthy studying techniques in Hillman Library for the rest of the semester. Kennedy also gave updates about another project instilled by the Wellness Committee — she said the University granted them permission to install a condom dispenser on the third floor of the William Pitt Union. “Obviously student health has free condoms in the Wellness Center, but sometimes that can be an intimidating situation to go up there for something like that, so I’m excited that we’re

gonna have this dispenser,” Kennedy said. The Board said they will be hosting a Sustainability Week in conjunction with the Student Office of Sustainability next semester, with dates to be determined. The week will provide students an opportunity to learn about sustainability programs offered not only by the Student Office of Sustainability, but also by the Study Abroad Office, according to board member Krish Patel. “There’s a lot of different programs that are impacting the world, and a lot more opportunities for students to do them, so we just thought it would be great if we got the Study Abroad Office

to get involved,” Patel said. Later in the meeting, Callahan announced the University has approved the creation of TEDx “salons,” small events beginning in January leading up to a main TEDx event in the spring. Kneis ended the meeting by reminding students to take advantage of the the newest safety device available to students. “Tell your friends, neighbors, classmates to get the app and to please use it,” Kneis said. “Be a good neighbor, be a good Panther, be a good friend, and help keep each other safe.” There were no allocations this week.

from the editorial board

Pittsburgh’s veil of Amazon secrecy leaves residents behind With little more to go on than a slogan, Pittsburghers don’t know what to make of the City’s proposal to house Amazon’s second headquarters. The online retail giant announced its search for a location in September, and has since received 238 submissions from cities, states and metropolitan areas across North America. Cities responded by offering Amazon a slew of tax breaks and other incentives. But in Pittsburgh, taxpayers are being left in the dark on what the City’s elected officials offered the company. Many cities have released their full bids, such as Boston and Toronto. Others required some more probing — MuckRock, a news website that specializes in submitting public record requests, has obtained more than 30 proposals from the 166 requests it has submitted so far. In Pittsburgh, investigative news website PublicSource submitted multiple requests for information about the bid, including emails between the mayor and his chief of staff — usually considered public record — and proposed locations for the Amazon headquarters. After five weeks of silence, the City, state and county notified PublicSource the requests had all been denied. WTAE also submitted requests for information, which officials denied. Other regions are touting plans to build tri-city hyperloop corridors, or making potentially massive financial decisions like Chicago’s plan to allow Amazon to keep the over $1 billion in income taxes its workers would have to pay to the city. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, has merely released its slogan — “Future. Forged. For All.” — and a website touting the City’s flashiest accomplishments. The slogan simply doesn’t ensure the City’s plan is inclusive for all Pittsburghers. And in response to news organizations in-

pittnews.com

formation requests, the Pittsburgh Regional Council Partnership issued a statement defending the decision. “This is a competition with more than 200 other communities nationwide,” the statement read. “We believe not disclosing the details of our playbook provides a competitive advantage.” The City has the right to make a legal case to deny the requests — but it is clear maintaining a “competitive advantage” doesn’t supersede public record laws or the public’s right to know. Decisions concerning potential multimillion-dollar tax breaks shouldn’t be secretly left to a few officials without any chance for public input and criticism. Pittsburgh did sign a non-disclosure agreement with Amazon as part of the bid, which Kevin Acklin, Mayor Bill Peduto’s chief of staff, said prevented the City from releasing the bid. But while the non-disclosure stops the City from sharing confidential information Amazon provided cities to prepare their bids, it doesn’t stop other cities that also signed NDAs from telling residents what they’re offering the company — like Boston’s proposed $500 million tax break, or Toronto’s decision to focus on education investment rather than tax breaks. Amazon could bring substantial economic growth to Pittsburgh — that much is undeniable. Promising 50,000 jobs and hoping to rival the $38 billion its first headquarters has brought Seattle since 2010, it’s a lucrative deal. But if we don’t know what’s in the plan, this seemingly lucrative deal could in fact harm the city. Critics warn Amazon could have negative impacts in addition to whatever positivity the deal might bring, from increased rent to decreasing diversity in tech. Without more information, how can the public weigh these potential positives and negatives? The slogan isn’t enough.

The infamous words of pre-college advice for girls at my high school graduation party were “never leave your drink unattended,” and, if you ignored that, “don’t drink the punch” — warnings against the dangers of college parties, particularly when alcohol is involved. These are valid tips, considering one in five women are sexually assaulted while in college, according to a 2010 study by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. But when my family had that conversation with me, I was confused. I had never heard anyone tell their son, nephew

November 29. 2017

or grandson to “remember not to sexually violate anyone” or “don’t drug anyone’s drink.” Today, the conversation surrounding sexual assault is far different. Largely stemming from widespread accusations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, whom 83 women have accused of sexual assault or harassment since early October, the conversation is now commonplace at a dinner table. But this discussion is more nuanced than ever, and it’s crucial to understand the way language organizes culture — and how we can use language to work toward solutions. See Altchek on page 4

chain of sexual violators — a man who literally built his career on jokes about masturbation and child molestation. His new comedy “I Love You Daddy” was scheduled to be released next week before it’s abrupt cancellation amid these recent allegations. It was supposed to feature a man masturbating in front of other women who failed to report the misconduct — ironic, considering his alleged actions with two women in a hotel room 10 years earlier tell a similar story. But joking about sexual assault only contribute to a culture that accepts this behavior and brushes off its victims. If people are willing to laugh at jokes of sexual assault, nothing will force harassers to realize assault is no laughing matter. So while the current movement, including the #MeToo hashtag, is a positive step forward, we need to be more proactive. We must try to change culture from the bottom up by rejecting casual sexism and holding abusers accountable. We must do as Katz calls for and redefine the ways we talk about sexual assault. And survivors themselves are also calling for this. Leeann Tweeden was allegedly sexually harassed by Democratic

Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota in 2006 while she was serving for the United Service Organization supporting American troops. Franken pretended to grope her breasts while she was sleeping, and had an onlooker take a photo. She also alleges he kissed her without her consent — and in an interview with CNN, she spoke about how society can do better. “That’s really where the change is going to be driven from,” she said, referring to our cultural acceptance of assault. “Not from the victims coming out and talking about it. I think it’s going to come from the people who maybe do the abusing, that don’t even realize they’re doing the abusing, because it’s so a part of the culture.” Bringing women’s voices to the forefront of the conversation the way the #MeToo movement does is important — but even more necessary is holding the men who create such a toxic culture accountable. And if we want to move society toward that, we must start with changing the language we use to talk about sexual assault to show that sexual assault is not just a women’s issue — it affects us all.

The Pitt news crossword 11/29/17

In a recent viral Twitter movement, Alyssa Milano, an American actress and singer, encouraged hundreds of thousands to speak up by using the hashtag #MeToo to indicate being a survivor of sexual assault or harassment. While the hashtag went viral, another conversation did too — prompted by a 2012 TED Talk by Jackson Katz, an academic and filmmaker who focuses on issues of masculinity. The title of the talk was “Violence against women — it’s a men’s issue,” and the topic was rhetoric — specifically, how passive language propagates the belief that sexual assault is inherently a women’s issue. “A lot of men tend to hear the term ‘women’s issues’ and we tend to tune it out,” he said. “It gives men an excuse not to pay attention.” And while the effort of the #MeToo movement was to bring the conversation to everyone, it inherently makes sexual assault a women’s issue the same way Katz argues passive language does. Not only is it inaccurate, but making sexual

assault just a women’s issue fails to address the root of the problem — a much more deeply seated cultural acceptance of sexual harassment and assault. I even heard evidence of it on my local radio station 94.5 WPST when I was in New Jersey for Thanksgiving break. I jumped in my car and the first song that came on was a bit outdated, but upbeat and familiar. It wasn’t until I started listening to the actual words that I realized the song from my childhood was a small contribution to the encouragement of sexual misconduct. “Something ‘bout your body says, ‘Come and take me,’” I heard Enrique Iglesias sing in his hit song, “Bailando.” This line played in my head repeatedly, all through the holiday. Without the use of blatant derogatory language, the song still manages to assert it’s okay to infer consent from clothing — the first step in victim blaming. This is just one example of the media and entertainment industry promoting harassment and assault on a daily basis without people even being aware of the message it’s sending. The public even seemed shocked when Louis C.K. became a part of the

CARR LEADS PITT VICTORY OVER HIGH POINT, 71-63 Trent Leonard Staff Writer

Led by first-year point guard Marcus Carr’s perfect shooting performance, the Pitt men’s basketball team managed to avoid another home upset — escaping with a 71-63 win over High Point University Tuesday night. The Pitt Panthers (3-4 overall) did not score a field goal in the final four minutes of its matchup against the High Point University Panthers (2-4 overall) — but it didn’t matter, as the host team made all 16 of their free throws in the last three minutes to secure an eight-point victory. Playing in front of a record-low Petersen Events Center crowd of 2,399, Pitt’s efficient shooting — 55 percent from the field, 42 percent from beyond the arc and 86 percent from the free-throw line — just barely made up for the team’s season-high 22 turnovers. “The turnovers are really something we need to work on,” head coach Kevin Stallings said afterward. “There’s no excuse for turning the ball over that many times.” Pitt started out lackadaisical against its Big South opponent, trailing 7-2 after turning the ball over three times in the first three minutes. But after Carr drawn a charge and hit a 3-pointer, the Panthers stifled their opponent’s early momentum and tied the game at 7. Pitt took its first lead of the game when junior Jared Wilson-Frame made a 3-pointer — marking his eighth straight game sinking one — to make the game 12-9. The team then found its rhythm, taking advantage of a five-minute High Point scoring drought to go on a 7-0 run. First-year Shamiel Stevenson capped off the offensive burst with a ferocious dunk that fired up the Oakland Zoo and gave Pitt a 19-9 lead. The two teams traded baskets for the next few minutes, but a flurry of Pitt miscues toward the end of the half allowed High Point to go on an 11-2 run. By the half’s end, five Panthers had committed a turnover. Senior Ryan Luther was the primary offender, coughing the rock up three times in the half.

“That’s something we really have to work on,” Luther said. “Staying focused, so we can go into halftime up 14 or 15 rather than one or two.” Despite the offensive miscommunications, Pitt led High Point 30-27 after one half. Carr led the team in scoring with 10 points, including a perfect 4-4 from the field and 2-2 from the 3-point range. Pitt came out strong in the second half and cracked open another double-digit lead, 41-31, after 3-pointers by Luther, Carr and WilsonFrame. Carr’s basket was his 13th point of the night, surpassing his previous single-game record of 12 points. But after High Point began to full-court press, Pitt faltered once again. The Panthers succumbed to the pressure, turning the ball over four times and allowing their opponent to cut the deficit to just one point — 44 to 43 — with 10 minutes remaining. The game’s final frame looked to be a stalemate, as neither team could take a sizable lead. But Pitt’s lone veterans led the Panthers down the stretch, with seniors Luther and Jonathan Milligan each converting two critical free throws in the last two minutes to pull ahead 59-55. After High Point missed two more shots and began to foul, Pitt iced the game from the freethrow line, going a perfect 16 of 16 in the closing minutes to win 71-63. Carr was the star of the night for Pitt, shooting a flawless five for five from the field — including three from 3-point range — and six for six from the charity stripe en route to a career-high 19 points. “I just tried to come into the game locked in,” Carr said. “I’ve been a streaky shooter lately, so it felt good to hit my wide-open shots tonight.” Luther, Milligan and Wilson-Frame also scored double digits for the Panthers. Luther’s 15 points marked the sixth time in Pitt’s first seven games that he cracked double digits, and he also led the team with eight rebounds.
