“GRATEFUL, THANKFUL, OVERWHELMED” BROWN WINS SGB PRESIDENCY

of 3,481, but a sharp decrease from 2017’s total of 5,177. Brown, who ran on the Impact Slate, focused on expanding accessibility to SGB through new events titled “Bonding with the Board” during his campaign. He is also interested in continuing and advancing Pitt’s alcohol amnesty policy. He will be joined on the board by fellow slate members Caro-
line Unger, Scott Glaser and Ashima Agarwal. Anaïs Peterson, Victoria Tappan and Eric Macadangdang from the Frontier Slate — the only other slate to field a presidential candidate — will join the board as well, along with Lynn Dang and Cedric Humphrey of the 19Forward Slate.

Election, pg. 1 Humphrey, or individual candidate Aman Reddy won enough votes to secure places on the board. Each year, the board candidate who receives the most votes receives the title of executive vice president, a position held this year by Jahari Mercer. However, Peterson and Unger both received more votes than any other board candidate, at 1,154 each, so the position will remain unfilled until the current board and incoming board convene to nominate an executive vice president in a yet-tobe-determined process. “When she said it, I thought, ‘What are the odds?’’’ Unger said. “That’s never happened before.” Peterson was unable to attend the elections results announcement due to a class commitment, but her running mates, Macadangdang and Tappan, celebrated their wins while still acknowledging the pain of seeing Tanjaya lose. “It hurt,” Macadangdang said. “Working with him the last few weeks, I’ve never seen someone work harder. But I know, whatever the result was tonight, that he’s going to do great things with his

last year at Pitt.” Tanjaya said the loss was “bittersweet,” but that he looked forward to seeing what Brown accomplishes during his presidency. “I completely trust the future of SGB to Zech,” Tanjaya said. “We talked about this actually. We said that regardless who wins or loses, the future will be in good hands.” Humphrey, along with his future fellow board members Peterson, Glaser and Tappan, had no prior experience with SGB, and said he was glad that the results showed that SGB experience isn’t the only thing that qualifies a student to serve. “The requirements for being on Student Government Board are having the right GPA and being a student in good academic standing,” Humphrey said. “Prior experience in SGB shouldn’t deter anybody from running for something they really want to do.” Dang, who will be the only sophomore on next year’s board, said although she was excited to implement changes next year as a board member, she was disappointed that her slatemate Steinle was not elected. “Even though I’m really happy because I know

I can make a lot of changes next year, I am disappointed that one of my really good friends and running mates hasn’t made it,” Dang said. “I’m going to work really hard next year to not only implement my own ideas, but [also] a lot of his great ideas.” Some candidates already look forward to implementing the policies they campaigned on. Tappan said she was looking forward to implementing her meal plan initiative, which would create a separate, cheaper meal plan for lower-income students, and Macadangdang, the current wellness chair for SGB, said he wanted “to get the ball rolling” with his mental health initiatives. Brown received 62.4 percent of the vote to Tanjaya’s 37.6 percent. In last year’s SGB presidential election, current President Maggie Kennedy defeated her opponent, Saket Rajprohat, with 56 percent of the vote. Kennedy adjourned the routine SGB meeting within three minutes, forgoing the usual allocations and announcements so McLaughlin could announce the results. McLaughlin gave the names of the successful board candidates in ascending order by number of votes and finished by announcing Brown’s win.
February 20, 2019
After the announcement, the event quickly turned into a celebration, with candidates offering each other congratulations and consolation. Kennedy said she was excited about the incoming board and that she would have been happy with a victory for either presidential candidate. Both Brown and Tanjaya currently serve with her on this year’s board. “I felt like we had two amazing presidential candidates this year, and I respect them both so much,” she said. “Coming in tonight, I knew that SGB was going to thrive either way.” The current board will meet regularly with the new board to help SGB through the transition process, Kennedy said. Glaser said the campaign seemed so long that it felt odd for the election to be over, but that he had confidence in Brown and his slate during the campaign. “We were running for so long for Zech. We knew he had the ability to do it. I’m happy for everybody on our slate, but ultimately the president is the one who makes the decisions,” Glaser said. “The fact that he’s president and we ran with him is amazing.”

Opinions TINDER:
from the editorial board
Post-Gazette executive editor threatens paper’s impartiality Whitewashing racism on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and approving misogynistic editorial cartoons tend to not correlate with promotions and career success. But employees of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette saw this unfold when a notice posted in the newsroom informed them publisher John R. Block appointed editorial director Keith Burris to the position of executive editor. “John Robinson Block, Publisher and editor-in-chief of the Post-Gazette and Toledo Blade, has announced that effectively immediately Keith C. Burris, editorial director for Post-Gazette and The Blade of Toledo will assume the additional duty of executive editor of the Post-Gazette,” the notice read. “Mr. Burris will continue to direct the opinion pages of both newspapers.” Not only does Burris’ new assignment indicate a condonement of the whitewashing of racism, but it flies in the face of journalistic ethics. Burris drew criticism last year for an editorial headlined “Reason as racism,” which he wrote and published on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, arguing that accusations of racism had become “a term of malice and libel.” “Calling someone a racist is the new McCarthyism. The charge is pernicious,” the editorial read. “The accuser doesn’t need to prove it. It simply hangs over the accused like a great human stain.” The editorial went on to defend President Donald Trump’s suggestion that immigration policies favor predominantly white countries rather than “shithole countries” like Haiti or in Africa.
pittnews.com
“That’s not racism, it is reason,” the editorial read. The Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh broke from its general practice of not commenting on editorials and wrote it was “collectively appalled and crestfallen by the repugnant editorial.” Burris has also played a key role in publishing other questionable content. A series of editorial cartoons published in January depicted misogynistic tropes, drawing further criticism from local publications and the Newspaper Guild. The man behind the promotion, publisher and Editor-in-Chief John Block, has also exhibited behavior worthy of condemnation. Block allegedly walked into the newsroom after a dinner in downtown Pittsburgh with his preteen daughter and screamed, kicked the wall and punched a union poster. A video recording of the newsroom incident has since surfaced, corroborating eyewitness accounts. But this new appointment also represents a breach of basic journalistic ethics. Burris was responsible for highprofile, controversial and opinionated content, and his new position as the top editor of the Post-Gazette gives him direct control over what should be unbiased and fair reporting. His simultaneous management of opinions and news is unethical and unacceptable. Prior to this appointment, Burris exercised control over solely opinionated editorial content and never extended into the Post-Gazette’s news reporting. This latest change could very well put an end to unbiased newsroom leadership at the Post-Gazette.

Dating, pg. 3 connecting virtually, dating has taken on an entirely new form and meaning. The easier communication becomes, the more options are available, and as a result fewer young people are entering serious relationships. Not only has dating become detached from romance, but it is also becoming less common. With no shortage of virtual options, people can simply play the field rather than seriously pursue one partner. The process of finding a potential partner is becoming so simple and virtual that people are uninvested in who they are pursuing. If it doesn’t work out, it’s effortless to find a new option. The numerous dating platforms could provide better opportunities to find a compatible partner, but they are only making the process more complicated. Tinder prides itself on the over 20 billion matches made since its founding in 2012, but people find dating success without the help of apps like Tinder. A perception of compatibility — with so many more people who can be reached with a simple swipe — is eroding the effort invested in talking to and connecting with another individual. Psychologists have observed similar parallels in shopping decisions made by customers. While individuals frequently desire more options to be made available, their ability to make satisfactory decisions begins to degrade when faced with an excess of options. In a 2000 study conducted by Columbia University researchers, grocery store shoppers exhibited worse decision-making and commitment abilities as the number of options grew. Modern dating may just be another example of this phenomenon where the options presented by virtual apps and effortless swipes are discouraging users from putting real effort into their romantic lives. “FOMO (fear of missing out) can lead either to failure to make matches or failure to commit to the matches you’ve made,” psychologist Barry Schwartz said in a statement to Mic. Since online dating makes it easier
February 20, 2019
to find instant gratification, it’s understandable that the effort required to coordinate a series of dates before committing to a partner is more unappealing. Tinder reflects an attitude shift to play the field and find quick satisfaction, rather than authentic connections with other people. The app’s purpose is to find nearby hookups based on a short bio and a few pictures — information that doesn’t come close to indicating long-term partnerships and compatibility. The consequences of this shift in modern dating aren’t just found in parallels with grocery store experiments. Some of the latest statistics suggest the number of dates among younger Americans has plummeted when compared to older demographics. In a 2015 study, psychology professor Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego University, found that the i-Generation, which includes those born between 1995 and 2012, is much less interested in romance than its predecessors. Just 56 percent of 14- to 18-yearolds went on dates in 2015, a drastic difference from the 85 percent of Generation X and Baby Boomers who went on dates. The number of teens going on dates has decreased by 29 percent since the last generation. Not only is romance becoming less popular, marriage rates are steadily declining as well. According to a 2014 study conducted by the Urban Institute, a policy research and educational organization, marriage rates declined by nine percent from 1990 to 2010. Millenials are predicted to remain unmarried through their 40s. Though dating apps have offered more options to those who are more introverted, it has also removed the authenticity of truly connecting with someone — and when people do connect through these apps, it seems the effort is minimal. Romance doesn’t have to be reduced to swiping on short quips and carefully selected photos. It can involve partners making genuine commitments to communicate and understand each other. But apps like Tinder have only made that more difficult in 2019.

PITT SWIMMERS LOOKING AHEAD AT PREPARE FOR ACC PITT FOOTBALL IN 2019 CHAMPIONSHIPS Michael Nitti

shine for a little bit.” Last year, Brown set a personal and school record in the 200-yard freestyle event at the ACC Championships with a time of 1:45.84 seconds to place 13th in the finals. She was also part of the record-breaking 200-yard freestyle, 800-yard freestyle, 200yard medley and 400-yard medley.

At the championships this year, Valerie Daigneault will compete in three individual events, the 200-yard individual medley on the first day, either the 200-yard freestyle or the 100-yard backstroke on the second day and the 200-yard backstroke on the final day. Thomas Yang | assistant visual editor Greensboro Aquatic Center in Greensboro, North Carolina, are more than just the championships — it’s a chance to go home.

has high expectations. “I think Brown is set to do some things that should be exciting,” Hargis said. In addition to Brown, Hargis is excited to watch junior Valerie Daigneault’s performance. Last year, Daigneault placed 19th in the 200-yard backstroke at the ACC Championships and set a new program record See Swimming on page 6
With sports like basketball, baseball and softball all underway right now, it’s easy to forget about the Pitt football team. Sure, the Panthers still have a while before their season opener against Virginia on Aug. 31, but with National Signing Day in the books and the team 15 days away from spring camp, now is a good time to evaluate the current state of the Panthers. The 2018 season was a roller coaster for head coach Pat Narduzzi’s team. The Panthers notched their first division title in ACC history, but still finished with a pedestrian 7-7 record. From getting blown out by Penn State and UCF early on, to winning four straight ACC games to clinch the Coastal Division, then losing the final three games of the season by a combined 54-point margin, the season was equal parts joy and disappointment. Like every offseason, Pitt will suffer from several key departures. The program will lose 19 players to graduation, while adding 20 players from signing day. The most notable departures on offense include leading rushers Darrin Hall and Qadree Ollison, fullback George Aston and offensive linemen Alex Bookser, Connor Dintino, Stefano Millin and Mike Herndon. Ollison and Hall produced stellar seasons sharing the backfield, with both eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark. Ollison — who was invited to the NFL Draft Combine — ran for 1,213 yards and 11 touchdowns, which earned him All-ACC Second team honors. Meanwhile, Hall racked up 1,144 yards and 10 touchdowns to garner an All-ACC Third team selection. Rising junior AJ Davis will look to fill the void as the Panthers’ lead back next

season, with some help from rising sophomore speedster V’Lique Carter. Davis mustered 134 yards on 32 carries in 2018, while Carter rose from a defensive backup to an offensive standout with 202 yards on 25 carries. Mychale Salahuddin, a highly touted four-star recruit from the 2018 class, is also bound to get his share of carries after redshirting as a true freshman last season. No team unit took a bigger hit this offseason than Pitt’s offensive line. With four out of the five starters graduating, rising redshirt junior Jimmy Morrissey — who was selected to the All-ACC Third team — is the only returning starter. Millin, who played his lone season at Pitt in 2018 after transferring from Kent State, earned All-ACC Second team honors, while Herndon made the All-ACC Third team, and Bookser and Dintino earned Honorable Mentions. Leading candidates to start on the offensive line next season include rising redshirt sophomore Bryce Hargrove (three starts among 14 games played in 2018), rising redshirt sophomore Gabe Houy (one start among six games played in 2018), rising redshirt sophomore Owen Drexel (two games played in 2018) and rising redshirt sophomore Jerry Drake Jr. (five games played in 2018). On the other side of the ball, all three facets of defensive coordinator Randy Bates’ unit suffered. Six starters from last season will not be returning — defensive linemen Dewayne Hendrix and Shane Roy, linebackers Oluwaseun Idowu, Elijah Zeise and Quintin Wirginis, and defensive backs Dennis Briggs and Phillipie Motley.

Swimming, pg. 5 with a time of 1:55.15. At the championships this year, Daigneault will compete in three individual events, the 200-yard individual medley on the first day, either the 200-yard freestyle or the 100-yard backstroke on the second day and the 200-yard backstroke on the final day. “I always love swimming the 200 [individual medley],” Daigneault said. “I think it’s an event every single time you just improve in little places you didn’t know you could before … but my 200 backstroke has always been my baby. I love that event.” However, Daigneault’s event workload is limited due to a shoulder injury she suffered in late December. Due to the injury, her endurance for some races, like the 400 individual medley, is not as high as she would like. But the injury hasn’t held her back in her main events and Hargis doesn’t expect that to be any different this week. “Daigneault is a girl who has competed in a high level all year,” Hargis said. “And has had a great dual meet season and she finished well in the championship last year and these next few meets.”
pittnews.com
Last year, Pitt came in ninth place at the championships and scored 494 points –– 66 points more than it scored in 2017. After making a change to the training schedule and hiring a new strength coach, Hargis believes this year’s team will be able to top last year’s finish. Hargis’ willingness to try different things to find success comes from his dad, who gave him some lifelong advice when he was younger: “If you want something you have never had, you must do something you have never done.” Hargis incorporated this mantra into his coaching philosophy and tries new things with his team every day when it comes to training techniques. The biggest change from last year to this year was giving his athletes an extra day off during the week — something Hargis thinks has helped prepare his team better for the championships. “The sign of the sport as it develops is showing an advancement in terms of kids having more time to recover, they are performing at higher levels,” Hargis said. “I think it’s allowed their bodies to recover a little bit.” Hargis also believes his athletes are stronger and more powerful than ever,
which could help them fight into an NCAA qualifying position. For an athlete to qualify for the NCAA Championship, they must finish within a certain time. In any event, there is a time standard, and if an athlete makes the Astandard, they automatically qualify for NCAAs. If an athlete makes a B-standard, they earn an NCAA bid only if there aren’t enough faster times. “The NCAA is the fastest meet in the world, every single year,” Hargis said. “It’s the most difficult meet to qualify for, so we are looking to hopefully have some kids qualify and we think we have some bodies who can do that.” Early this season, Brown swam the 50yard freestyle in 22.96 seconds and the 200yard freestyle in 1:48.52. In order to reach a B-standard, Brown has to swim the 50 free in 22.76 seconds and the 200 free in 1:47.12. Last year, Daigneault’s 200-yard backstroke time of 1:55.15 was enough to reach the B-standard, but if she wants an automatic bid to NCAAs, she has to finish in 1:50.50. “I think right now my expectations are just to get best times in all my events,”
February 20, 2019
Daigneault said. “I think the work we put in all season is going to show up … I hope to make NCAAs. That is the ultimate goal for anybody who is competing in ACCs.” In addition to Brown and Daigneault, sophomore Camryn Forbes, who transfered to Pitt from Indiana University Bloomington and placed 15th at the 2018 Big Ten Championships in the 200-yard backstroke, and junior Madelyn Shaffer, who competes in the butterfly, are expected to continue their already successful seasons this weekend. If the Panthers want to move up in the ranks, they will need an impressive showing from those athletes. Last year, Pitt beat Georgia Tech, Miami and Boston College, but finished behind eighth place Florida State by 84.5 points. Virginia swept the competition with 1382.5 points. “Last year’s the highest finish in program history,” Hargis said. “But I just think that’s kind of the movement of where the teams are going … I think our women are in a good place right now and I think we could go as one of best teams in Pitt women’s history for our sport.” The meet will begin Wednesday at 11 a.m. and conclude on Saturday.
