College Republicans. Three of the club’s leaders attended the event, dressed in formal wear. Lorenzo Riboni, the vice president of the political club, had a clear reason for organizing the event. “As a club we don’t support a candidate until the primaries are over, but right now we wanted the club to get to see what they’re voting for,” Riboni said. Riboni, who is a junior studying communications, said the club also hopes to bring fellow Republican candidate Scott Wagner to speak at the University. Wagner is polling 29 points ahead of Mango — second in the race at 16 percent — according to a late September internal poll from Wagner’s campaign. Mango’s presentation was short and to the point, lasting a little over twenty minutes. He

A young man sat at a table behind two black curtains in the William Pitt Union Assembly Room Monday night. Across the table, two individuals intensely interrogated him. “What religion do you practice?” asked one. “What does your name mean?” followed the other. This scenario was part of Boxes and Walls, an event held Monday from noon-9 p.m. About 200 people attended the event — organized by Assistant Director of Resident Life Phil Badaszewski and Pitt Aquatic Programs Coordinator Alycia Miller, working with Pitt’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion. Monday’s simulation was Student Affairs’ third Boxes and Walls event since the first in 2015. The idea came from a previous resident life director, who had been part of a similar project at another school. Attendees walked through seven stations, each created and staffed by one of the participating student organizations — Campus Women’s Organization, Pitt Global Affairs, Students for Disability Advocacy, the Asian Studies Center, Muslim Students’ Association and PittServes. During the 35- to 40-minute tour of all seven stations, at each station participants were asked to complete tasks that simulated challenges and prejudices a marginalized group faced. Afterwards, students were invited to to talk about their experiences and share their thoughts on the simulations. The Muslim Students’ Association simulated what it is like to be racially profiled and questioned by the the Transportation Security Administration at an airport. Saman Hasan,

Rose Luder Staff Writer When Paul Mango was at U.S. Military Academy at West Point, he had calculus six days a week. “I hope sitting here and listening to me is less painful than calculus at West Point on a Saturday morning,” the Republican primary candidate for governor joked before a crowd of Pitt students Monday night. Mango — who is currently running against two other declared opponents for the Republican nomination for governor, including Pitt alumna Laura Ellsworth — made his case to about 40 Pitt students about why he should replace incumbent Gov. Tom Wolf in 2018. All attendees of the event had been invited personally by either the College Republicans or

the Students for Liberty, making it an intimate gathering. Mango began his speech with a jab at Wolf. “Who knows my nickname for our current governor? Thomas the Tax Engine,” Mango said of the Democratic governor. Mango, a West Point and Harvard Business School grad, has not been in politics long. He spent most of his life after serving in the army as director of the business consulting firm McKinsey & Co. Mango used his experience with business to justify why he felt that Pennsylvania needed a new, business-centered governor. “Not enough people are talking about growth of the economy or businesses,” Mango said. “I hope to be considered the growth candidate in this race.” Mango’s appearance was scheduled by Pitt

laid out his platform in five points — economic growth, eradicating drug overdose, affordable health care, improving education and lowering the state’s debt to the federal government. Aside from his five-point platform, much of Mango’s speech centered on his criticisms of Wolf’s term as governor. “We literally have a liberal progressive socialist governor,” Mango said. “His fundamental belief is that the biggest social injustice we face is income inequality. Whereas I believe that economic immobility is the biggest social injustice.” Mango said he plans to encourage economic mobility by working on education and job production. “I want to focus on vocations and trades, and I would want them to play a much bigger degree in training the future generations,” he said. “All work is good work, all work has dignity.” Mango said he plans to lower the cost of

Mango’s speech comes about one year before gubernatorial elections are set to take

place Nov. 6, 2018. Many of the event attendees said that they attended the event primarily to receive information about Mango as a candidate. Christopher Greathouse, a recent Pitt undergrad and current graduate student in the

Simulation, pg. 1 a sophomore biology and history major and member of MSA, served as one of the interrogators for the simulation. “[We’re] showing how Muslims can get profiled based on simple things like their name, or what they’re wearing,” Hasan said. MSA members overseeing the simulation told students afterwards how these interviews can take so long that someone may often miss their flight. Organizers added this simulation this year after receiving student feedback. Badaszewski, who has been a part of Boxes and Walls since its start, said that feedback is a necessary to improve the event. “MSA, global affairs and Asian studies are all new to this event this year, and some of that comes from the feedback from students that asked for rooms concerning Islamophobia or on international students.” The first simulation of the tour was created and run by the Pitt Pantry, the University’s volunteer-run nonprofit food pantry for Pitt students, faculty and staff. Participants were ascribed different amounts of money and then

Students allot their weekly food budget in a simulation during Boxes and Walls Monday afternoon. Chiara Rigaud | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER asked to plan how to pay for food for a week with what they were given. Badaszewski said the Pitt Pantry, which primarily serves students suffering from food insecurity, is a service many students may not know is necessary on a college campus. “But by having to go in … and trying to meal plan for a week on a particular budget, it makes you rethink the need for that service on

our campus,” he said. Miller, who helped organize the event, has been involved since 2015. She said the event has the ability to challenge people who have not considered what affects the lives of marginalized people or those who do not believe certain disadvantages exist. “With this event, we’re exposing students to things they haven’t thought of before in their

Swanson School of Engineering, said he was unaware of many of the candidates’ positions — including Mango’s — prior to the event. “I mostly just want to see what his position does and what he’s hoping to change,” Greathouse said. Jeremy Reiff, a sophomore studying physics and mathematical economics, came to the event to see somebody “up close and personal” who might be the next governor. Mango’s presentation helped him to narrow down his options. “After hearing him speak, I don’t think I’m gonna vote for him. Scott Wagner just aligns better with my ideologies,” Reiff said. For a number of students, such as Reiff, Mango’s speech was informative for voters planning to cast a ballot in the Pennsylvania Republican primaries. Mango ended his speech by appealing to his younger audience. “My biggest fear is that your generation and the generation after that will not still have [economic] opportunity,” Mango said. “That’s the principle reason I’m doing this.” daily lives or that we are changing some ideas people have about diversity,” she said. Ngozi Obidike, a junior psychology major, took on the role of a child with ADHD during PittServes’s impaired education simulation. She said she had never realized the significant impact disabilities could have on a person’s educational experience. “For me, in my background, those kind of disabilities were never considered disabilities, and just to embody it and realize that this is very detrimental to my learning experience really opened my eyes,” she said. Both Badaszewski and Miller hope the event can continue into the next several years, focusing on different social issues each year. “Last year mostly focused on obstacles related to race and gender,” Miller said “This year it’s economics, it’s religion and other unseen parts of everyday life.” Miller hopes when students leave the event they’ve gained knowledge that will help them to be kinder and friendlier people. “At the end of the day I hope everybody takes a step back, too, and take what they learned here, what they heard in those rooms and apply it to life,” she said.

Use election day as opportunity for progress In the aftermath of last fall’s presidential election, many young voters eagerly looked forward to the next chance they’d have to influence their communities through the ballot box. Unfortunately for those of us in Pittsburgh, however, some of today’s most visible municipal elections offer little chance. With polls open today on campus, around Oakland and throughout the City local voters will have the chance to cast ballots in elections for Pittsburgh mayor, some city council members and Commonwealth judges. But for students who weren’t around in May, many of their decisions have already been made for them. The most visible races — for the City’s mayorship and for positions on city council in even-numbered districts — largely feature incumbents and Democratic nominees running unopposed. Incumbent Councilman Dan Gilman, whose district includes much of Pitt’s campus, faces no opposition for re-election. Only one district — District Four — will even see a candidate who’s not a registered Democrat. After winning a Democratic primary with a mere 17 percent turnout and securing his party’s nomination in May, incumbent Mayor Bill Peduto appears as the only name on the ballot for mayor today. Yet the mayor shouldn’t see what will likely be low turnout today as a sign that students in Pittsburgh no longer care about the important issues affecting our communities. One might misconstrue a low level of voter turnout as a lack of enthusiasm for the progressive agenda Peduto and other members of the City’s government have pursued since President Donald Trump took office this Janu-

pittnews.com

ary. But the significant showing for Rev. John Welch, who won almost 20 percent of all ballots in May’s Democratic primary, demonstrates that many Pittsburghers feel Peduto’s administration is leaving some of the City behind. Peduto should keep this in mind as he wins his second term. And while students may see today’s vote as pointless and decline to cast their ballots, they should keep in mind the effects of Election Day that are less obvious than the race for mayor. Not only does a low turnout give an impression of indifference, it ignores the importance of elections for ballot questions and vital judicial elections. Judges directly apply the laws made by our City and state legislators to us — in some ways, they have the most discretionary power among officials in our government. There are also important ballot questions at stake today. One amendment asks voters to decide if the state legislature should be able to offer property tax relief, the other concerns city employees working two jobs. Both have immediate implications for Pittsburghers. In the wake of the Democratic primaries, voting today in the general elections might seem at first like an exercise in futility. And with a majority of the high profile elections lacking any contest, it’s not difficult to see why. But students shouldn’t take this appearance as permission not to be involved. If you’re unsure of your polling location, you can find it at pavoterservices. pa.gov. And remember: failing to vote makes a statement, too. If you choose not to vote, make sure you’re OK with what abstention communicates.

Hollywood’s homophobia complicates Spacey scandal

Netflix cut ties with Kevin Spacey after four men accused him of sexual assault and harassment. Wikimedia Commons

Thomas Wick Columnist Coming out as gay can be a struggle. The experience can be even harder if you’re 14 years old, the victim of a sexual assault — and in the film industry. This is exactly the unfortunate situation actor Anthony Rapp faced in 1986 when, after attending Kevin Spacey’s party in Manhattan, the 26-year-old actor allegedly made drunken sexual advances toward him. Spacey, an award-winning actor famous for his roles in “The Usual Suspects,” “American Beauty” and Netflix’s “House of Cards,” has faced serious accusations of sexual assault in the past week as Rapp went public with this story. Rapp, now 46, revealed the story following a scandal in which multiple women accused Hollywood executive and Oscar winner Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment.

November 7, 2017

In the story’s wake, people are condemning Spacey, now 58 years old. As they should — sexual assault of a minor is a serious offense. However, focus on Spacey’s reaction hasn’t just been limited to the assault itself. Many are condemning Spacey — who came out as gay in his response to the accusation — for using his sexuality as a diversion. Not only that, the timing perpetuates gay men being associated with sexual assault and pedophilia. But Spacey’s inopportune coming out was worsened by rampant homophobic prejudices in the film industry. In such an industry, where many are still afraid to come out of the closet, the silence LGBTQ+ actors are forced into only makes the problem more difficult to solve. I’ve written before about Hollywood’s issues with racism, but the problem doesn’t stop with race. Homophobia has been and See Wick on page 5

Historic Pittsburgh hosts fair at Carnegie Library

Siddhi Shockey For The Pitt News Rick Sebak, a native Pittsburgh filmmaker and producer, held a “Pittsburgh Changes the World” sign above his head, eliciting nods from the audience at the Historic Pittsburgh Fair. Sebak and many of the audience members reminisced over Pittsburgh’s greatest historical contributions, ranging from world-renowned ketchup to colossal amounts of steel. About 50 history fanatics like Sebak gathered at the Historic Pittsburgh Fair — a four-hour event designed to pull together historic institutions — this Saturday at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Attendees took part in a variety of activities, including trivia with Sebak and lectures on genealogy and digitization. Attendees walked around a ring of tables — managed by libraries and historical institutions — covered with pamphlets and photographs. Visitors saw pictures of the Perry Highway construction and decadent hand-bound children’s books on display. Many looked at old photographs of

families picnicking in North Park and of the community pools and boathouses of Northland, or they began to create their own digitized memories through Carnegie Library’s REcollection Studio. Historic Pittsburgh, an organization founded in 1999, is a coalition of 15 institutions from the greater Pittsburgh area created to make historical information accessible to the public. Among these groups are Pitt, Carnegie Mellon University, the Historical Society of Upper St. Clair and the Carnegie Library — the organization’s newest member. Brooke Sansosti, the digitization and special projects lead at the Carnegie Library and organizer of the event, was excited to bring the Carnegie Library into the Historic Pittsburgh organization. “The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh has just become a partner with Historic Pittsburgh, and so we felt that this would be a great time for us to host the Historic Pittsburgh Fair,” Sansosti said. With her background in art history and experience as a visual resources librarian,

Historic Pittsburgh is digitizing and uploading archived photos of Pittsburgh — including this aerial shot of the Point — to historicpittsburgh.org. Pitt University Library System Sansosti was brought in about two years ago to start the library’s extensive process of digitizing its archived materials. Throughout the process, Sansosti found that the library needed a forum to provide public access to the material. In addition to becoming a member, the Carnegie Library has also opened its digitization department, the REcollection Studio, last September. It’s designed to take personal content such as photographs, VHS tapes, cassettes and other media and turn them into digitized content which can be shared with family or friends. Gabby Lee, a graduate student at Pitt pursuing a master’s degree in library and information science, works at the Carnegie Library through Pitt Partners. Lee has been working in the REcollections Studio since August. “The hope is for this to continue to grow,” Lee said. “People [can] come in and have things they’d like to digitize and we’d be more than happy to help them or keep those things to learn more about the history of Pittsburgh [through] the commu-

nity.” While the Carnegie Library has only begun dabbling in digitization recently, other partners have been pursuing digitization for years. Amy Steele, the executive director of Northland Public Library — located north of downtown Pittsburgh — has been working to gather and digitize content from the Northland region. Prior to the Northland Public Library joining Historic Pittsburgh, Steele found it very difficult to digitize and create public access to such large volumes of historical archives. However, since the library joined the organization about 10 years ago, she said access and interest in the library’s historical content has skyrocketed. “It’s been a lot of fun doing those programs, and we can tell because we always promote the website and you can see when the statistics jumped up because within the next couple of days people start using the website,” Steele said. Having somewhere online to host these materials has enabled them to host lectures See Library on page 5

and events designed to educate the public on Northland history as well. By attending events such as the Historic Pittsburgh Fair, Steele has gathered more information to develop her resources further. “I love talking to all the people that share that interest because I learn from them and they learn from me,” Steele said. Historic Pittsburgh has created an opportunity for smaller institutions such as Steele’s and larger ones like the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh to expand their digital archives. Sansosti and Steele agree that Historic Pittsburgh has become a catalyst for numerous cultural heritage organizations within the Pittsburgh community to come together and join with the public to celebrate Pittsburgh culture. Sansosti hopes the fairs will become an annual event, as this was the first time all the partners of Historic Pittsburgh could gather since 2014. She said the organization and community support will continue to grow. “Sharing memories is something that we are supporting here,” Sansosti said.

continues to be a problem for the film industry. Countless actors, including “Star Trek” actor George Takei, have hidden their sexual orientation for years in fear of a negative public reaction. In a 2013 interview with the Huffington Post, Takei called his decision to come out extremely difficult and cited the negative reaction to Jodie Foster’s public coming out. “It’s a very difficult and personal thing, particularly for a public person,” he said. There have been even more recent instances of actors facing negative backlash for being open about their sexuality in Hollywood. “Teen Wolf” actor Colton Haynes told Out magazine in a 2016 interview that he faced pressure from his talent management to conceal his sexuality after he came out last year. “I was told that was the only way I was going to be successful,” Haynes said. There’s a reason Spacey felt the need to keep his sexual orientation quiet until very recently — that’s why it wasn’t brought up until now. Rapp said in his accusations against Spacey that one of the reasons he was silent about this for so long was because he

wasn’t ready to discuss his sexual orientation in 1986. Of course, all of this doesn’t mean Spacey should be absolved from being responsible for a sexual assault. In fact, his actions have the potential to feed right back into Hollywood’s toxic culture. By coming out as a gay man in this situation, Spacey is trying to hide behind a marginalized orientation, misusing the sympathy LGBTQ+ celebrities might receive. It’s a lousy attempt at a diversion to save face and make people forget the heinous act he committed. LGBTQ+ activists, including Takei, have made their disdain for Spacey’s move clear. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Takei condemned Spacey and mentioned that the criticism of Spacey have nothing to do with his sexuality but with his misuse of power. “Men who improperly harass or assault do not do so because they are gay or straight — that is a deflection,” he said. “They do so because they have the power, and they chose to abuse it.” Rapp’s accusation has led three other men to accuse Spacey of sexual assault — an anonymous journalist, Justin Dawes and Mark Ebenhoch. Hollywood actors Dustin

Hoffman, Jeremy Piven and Brett Ratner have also been accused of sexual misconduct following the Spacey story. Moreover, Netflix has decided to cut ties with Spacey — the sixth season of “House of Cards” will be its last. Clearly, there is change occurring in the industry. The question is whether that change will allow LGBTQ+ people in Hollywood more equal treatment or force them back into the shadows. Spacey’s actions unquestionably paint members of the LGBTQ+ community — particularly gay men — in a negative way. By associating being gay with sexual harassment, the actor’s cynical move perpetuates negative views toward gay people. Spacey’s careless actions jeopardize the progress made by activists for gay rights. Every actor in Hollywood — Spacey included — has to deal with the film industry’s ugly version of anti-gay prejudice. There’s a difference, however, between Spacey and other LGBTQ+ actors. Many of them have worked to give a positive public image to the gay community. Spacey, on the other hand, has done nothing but give them a bad name.

Sports Back from bye week, Narduzzi talks Tar Heels Luke Baloga For The Pitt News The Pitt football team doubled its win column after its last two games, but a lull in play thanks to a bye week could slow the team’s momentum. But with a two-game winning streak on the line, head coach Pat Narduzzi isn’t worried about the upcoming Thursday night game. “How do you keep it going after six or seven days?” Narduzzi said in his Monday press conference. “It’s no difference. if you make a big deal out of an open week and say, ‘Oh my gosh, you had momentum going’ — it doesn’t matter. You’ve got more days to prepare, so the momentum should be the same.” While most press conferences begin with a review of how the weekend’s game was played, this week was different — both because of the break in play and because Narduzzi said he couldn’t remember the Panthers’ last opponent. “We’ve had a good, I guess, almost a week away,” Narduzzi said. “I don’t think you guys want to go back and talk about the last game. I don’t even remember who we played, to be honest with you. But it’s all about North Carolina and who they are.” The Panthers have spent more than a week preparing for a matchup with the 1-8 Tar Heels. While North Carolina’s record isn’t intimidating, Narduzzi said it won’t be an easy win. “Our work will be cut out for us,” Narduzzi said. “I know some of you guys will probably think it’s an easy game. We’ve stressed with our guys it will not be an easy game, I’ll guarantee you that, and Thursday night should be fun.” The UNC team Pitt will play Thursday looks a bit different than it did last season. Narduzzi pointed out how the Tar Heels lost a couple key players to the NFL — quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and receiver Ryan Switzer — after the 2016-17 campaign. Narduzzi said North Carolina’s losses have allowed the Tar Heels to develop younger players. This might pose some issues in regard to under-

Pat Narduzzi said Panthers won’t have an easy victory against UNC despite the Tar Heels’ 1-8 record this season. Anna Bongardino | ASSISTANT VISUAL EDITOR standing the depth at quarterback, but it’s nothing Narduzzi is unfamiliar with. “The guy that took over, I think, after the 27th play last week, Nathan Elliott, is a coach’s kid from Texas. He’s tough,” Narduzzi said. “So they’ve got three capable guys that I think — are any of them Trubisky? Probably not. But none of ours are Peterman yet, either, so that’s even right there.” While Narduzzi thinks the game will be competitive, UNC stood victorious after the teams’ previous two meetings. Narduzzi said the Panthers took advantage of the bye week, allowing coaching staff to give the team a day off and cut back on practice lengths, hoping to avoid three straight losses to the Tar Heels. “We’ll be prepared and we’ll be fresh,” Narduzzi said. Narduzzi is looking for good performances from players such as junior running back Darrin Hall and junior wide receiver Quadree Henderson to lead the team. Hall had a career performance against Duke, but his newfound confidence isn’t surprising to Narduzzi. “You never give up on a kid after his freshman year or sophomore year or junior year,” Narduzzi said. “[Hall] is a good football player. When we

recruited him, we knew he was talented, and we’re kind of getting what we thought we’d have.” As for Henderson, the team has come to rely heavily on his punt returns. While he could be a major contributor on offense, Narduzzi said he has to make those opportunities for himself. “We’ve got to find ways to get [the ball] in his hands and make it like a punt return,” Narduzzi said. “He’s had opportunities to get the ball and stumbled around, so he’s got to start to visualize some big plays on offense.” Though UNC falls at the bottom of the ACC, Pitt will have a tough end to its season, taking on No. 17 Virginia Tech and No. 7 Miami in the final two games. If the Panthers want to be bowl-eligible, they will need to win at least two of their final three games. But as for Narduzzi, he hopes his team isn’t talking about anything but Thursday night’s game. “I don’t sleep in the dorms at night. I can’t tell you what they talk about anywhere else, and I really don’t care,” Narduzzi said. “I hope they’re not talking about that. I hope they’re just talking about North Carolina and playing one game at a time.”

First-year volleyball player Chinaza Ndee earned her second ACC Freshman of the Week honor after her standout performance during the Panthers’ weekend domination of the Miami Hurricanes and the Florida State Seminoles. Ndee recorded five kills in Friday’s match against Miami and nine in Sunday’s match against Florida State, bringing her to 155 total kills in her debut season. In both outings, she had above a .400 hitting percentage and committed only two errors. The 5-foot-11 first year earned her first ACC Freshman of the Week award after the team’s first sweep of Florida State and Miami Oct. 6 and Oct. 8, respectively. In that previous performance against the Seminoles, she posted 10 kills and only one error. Against the Hurricanes, she had a similarly impressive performance with seven kills and one error. Ndee joined the Pitt women’s volleyball team after graduating in 2017 from The Kinkaid School in Houston, where she played volleyball all four years. She was named All-South Zone in both her junior and sophomore season. In her first-year campaign as a Panther, she recorded a season-high 14 kills and 17 points against Saint Mary’s.
