MISTERWIVES GET JIGGY WITH IT TO HEADLINE

BIGELOW BASH Salina Pressimone Assistant News Editor Pitt Program Council announced Bigelow Bash, Pitt’s annual spring concert, will feature MisterWives as the headliner band April 14. PPC tweeted the news Monday afternoon, about a month after it sealed the contract with the help of an outside agency. Zach Linn, special events director, said PPC began the process of finding a band for the spring concert following the Fall Fest back in October. The special events committee, a group of 30 students, considered logistics such as the budget the University provided them with and available dates that worked with Pitt’s calendar when evaluating options for acts. “We always start off with some bands that aren’t available and then we just keep working through our list until we find one that works, and MisterWives was very close to the top of our list on that,” Linn said. While there were contract negotiations and price limitations, Linn said the committee still prioritized the student See Bands on page 2

Students ‘break in’ to security engineering at Pitt Thompson Wymard For The Pitt News Marc Tobias has been picking locks since he was 15. One of his first experiences in the trade came when he went into a local locksmith in Denver and asked to pick the store’s toughest lock as a challenge. After initially being dismissed, the store gave him the lock and said he would never

be able to pick it. “Well, about 30 seconds later I said, ‘Excuse me, I asked for a difficult lock to open, because this one I just opened,’” he said. Now, with his expanded understanding of security — having written seven books on crime and lock picking and being a security columnist for Forbes Magazine — he’s looking to teach Pitt students what he knows.

Tobias, his partner Tobias Bluzmanis and Security Labs — their company, which works with clockmakers to test their locks on anything from safes to gun locks — are joining up with the Swanson School of Engineering to open the new Pitt Security Engineering Lab. The lab offers students a space to work with locks provided by Security Lab’s clients — including major See Security on page 2

body’s interests in narrowing down its choices. “By having a committee of students with an interest in music and an interest in concerts, we get that wise taste of music and hopefully have a good ear to

Fall Fest. The performances will be accompanied by various food trucks. PPC is collaborating with the Student Office of Sustainability to get compostable utensils for the trucks and will encourage recycling throughout the day to make this year’s concert a “green” event. Linn said he is hopeful about student

turnout because of past successes, such as pop musician Mike Posner’s performance last year. “We never have an expectation — part of not selling tickets is that question mark,” Linn said. “Regardless of the act, it’s a great time because we have the food trucks, and we have a large portion of the student body out together.”

machines and will offer high-tech video conferencing to speak with Tobias and Bluzmanis. According to Winter and Tobias, interest in the class is high, which could affect the future of the lab and the course. Right now, there is only one class per semester, and it has a maximum of 30 students. If demand rises enough, though, Winter said Pitt could potentially do a second seating or open it to undergraduates. The program will continue to expand and develop, and Tobias said while speaking to deans at the University, one of the ultimate goals is to have a degree in security engineering, as well as specific certifications. Many students, such as Vishal Jagannathan, a senior majoring in bioengineering, expressed cautious interest in the course. “I’d definitely take it if it’s a few credits. I wouldn’t choose it over any course required to graduate or anything, but if I could fit it into my schedule, I’d definitely take something like this,” Jagannathan said. Tobias and Bluzmanis held an event Feb. 21 to teach students about Winter’s course and allow students to try their hand at lock picking. Geoff Wells, a junior majoring in civil engineering, said he enjoyed the demonstration and came because of the allure of breaking locks. “I like mechanical things and gizmos and stuff like that, so I’m still interested in that. So I wanted to come here and kind of learn about locks,” he said. “I’ve always thought lock picking and safe cracking were cool. I see it in the movies a lot but never actually get to do it.” Others, such as Anna Tomani, a fifth-year student majoring in chemical engineering, were attracted to the program because of its implications in their real lives. “I got locked out of my apartment a few weeks ago and tried to pick my lock and then jammed the door,” Tomani said. “Then I saw this and thought it was kind of fitting.”

the ground of what students like these days,” Linn said. The American indie-pop band will perform alongside a European DJ, Saint Wknd and a support act from WPTS. The winner of PPC’s Pitt Factor event April 2 will open for the concert, similar to the way the way the winner of Battle of the Bands in September opened for

Security, pg. 1 corporations such as Kwikset — to figure out how to both break the locks and change them to make it more difficult to do so. Security Labs’ website states the goal of the new lab is to collaborate with a digital security lab in Paris to analyze devices that transmit data wirelessly, searching for security vulnerabilities. These devices can lead to serious breaches as well as significant legal liability for manufacturers. The lab will act as a space to teach students the basics of offensive hacking to analyze hardware, a key field as locks become increasingly digitized. The lab will be located in Benedum Hall on the third floor and be used in conjunction with the course Product Realization, taught by Pitt professor Eric Winter. The course is designed to take students from an initial idea or concept to some form of a prototype, according to Winter. “This class, in all the time that I’ve taught it anyway, and even stretching back before that, has always been about trying to solve a problem and come up with something that would work in the real world,” Winter said. The class is structured so students can work in groups of three or four to solve real-world issues. Some of their tasks involve troubleshooting system sensors and communication equipment and designing systems that allow businesses to monitor major sources of energy and resource consumption. The course, which is only available to seniors and graduate students, has anywhere between six and 10 projects going at a time and involves minimal lecturing, which Tobias and Winter say can help Pitt students adapt to the work environment. Winter has taught the course for four years, saying student interest has never been higher, even if some are still unclear on what the course does.

“I’ve had lots of inquiries from people saying, ‘What’s your course about? I thought you were a product development course?’ And I tell them, ‘Yup, it is, but it just has a strong security component to it now, and you come work on that, you get to do a little bit of everything,’” he said. The skills acquired in Winter’s class offer both immediate and long-term benefits, according to Tobias. Already, Security Lab’s clients have discussed potential summer internships for students in lock factories, which could segue into a job upon graduation. “We have a situation where the engineering community in the security industry is aging out. And as they age out, they’re kind of concerned that the ones that are coming in behind them don’t have the benefit of all the experience and all of the tricks and talents,” Winter said. Tobias said he and his partner knew this was

a largely untapped field in the academic community and that there were many employment opportunities within it. After speaking with multiple universities, they chose Pitt because the University was willing to waive intellectual property rights over the student’s work on the locks. This was a must for Security Lab’s clients to work on projects with students, as they won’t give students an inside look at the products’ problems if they don’t have the rights to the solutions. “We finally figured out the best way to do this is to work with [Winter] and teaching his course and have the students work real-world projects,” Tobias said. “We don’t do theoretical stuff. These are all projects — or for the most part projects — for our clients.” The lab — funded entirely by Security Labs — will have test equipment, fabrication equipment, analysis, magnification equipment, key

Editorial: Keep 18th district focus local pittnews.com

column

Special election signals shifting national politics Brian Gentry Staff Writer Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District, a slice of pro-President Donald Trump territory located just south of Pittsburgh, is poised to flip from Republican to Democratic in today’s special election. Democrat Conor Lamb, a 33-year-old former Marine, may snag the seat from Republican Rick Saccone, a 60-year-old state senator. Or so thinks former Vice President Joe Biden, who visited the Pittsburgh area last week to stump for Lamb. New York Times reporter Jonathan Martin reminded Biden at the event that in an 18th Congressional District filled with old coal miners and steelworkers, many of whom voted for Trump in 2016, the odds are against Lamb. “Tell you what,” Biden responded. “It ain’t going to be anymore.” The outcome of today’s election is almost totally inconsequential in the short term. It’s a special election happening roughly eight months before the seat will be open again. The seat won’t significantly change control of the House — unlike the Senate election in Alabama, which brought Republicans down to just a 51-49 majority. And it’s in a district that won’t even exist in November, since courts recently ruled the previous Congressional map for Pennsylvania unconstitutional. But this election is a litmus test for future midterms. A loss here would indicate that the voting base that gave Trump his win — bluecollar workers in the Rust Belt — are secondguessing their votes for him, setting the stage for a blue wave in upcoming elections across the industrial northeast and Midwest. It’s impossible to see what happens today outside of the context of Trump’s policies and administration in Washington, D.C. Republicans are worried about losing this election, and rightfully so. Recent polls show that the race is a toss-up, with the spread between the candidates within the margin of error. Partially because of this, the party’s treating the election with more importance than your average race in

Rick Saccone, Republican Congressional candidate for Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District, speaks to supporters during a Make America Great Rally Saturday, March 10, 2018 at Atlantic Aviation in Moon Township. Alex Edelman/CNP/Zuma Press/TNS the House of Representatives. The average winning candidate for the House in 2012 spent $1.6 million on campaign costs. By the end of February, Saccone’s camp had spent $9.7 million, outspending the Democratic candidate almost tenfold. More than $900,000 of this funding comes from the Republican National Committee. Republicans haven’t just dedicated funds to the election — they’ve dedicated the time of their party’s officials, too. Vice President Mike Pence visited the district once last month, and President Trump himself has visited twice, most recently this past weekend. There’s only one explanation for this level of activity from national Republicans. They are worried industrial workers in the Rust Belt are questioning their allegiance to the Republican Party. This trend is difficult to explain. After all,

the economy is doing great by most metrics, and blue-collar workers in particular have seen legislation proposed that’s presented as being designed to benefit them, such as the recently ordered tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. But blue-collar workers appear neutral about the progress made under the administration so far. In an article earlier this month for The New York Times, journalist Michael Tackett met with industrial workers in Ohio. Most of them were largely apathetic about the meager paycheck increases since 2016, which maxed out at $40 every two weeks. This supports the idea that the working class is questioning its support for Trump. If this trend holds, it could have devastating impacts on Republican control of Pennsylvania’s Congressional delegation. Currently, 13 of the 18 House seats in the state are controlled by Republicans. This

March 13, 2018

number will likely change by the end of 2018 due to redistricting, but the numbers could shift even more if industrial workers in western Pennsylvania change their voting habits. A change like this would also have an impact on state-level elections. Both Gov. Tom Wolf’s and Sen. Bob Casey’s seats are up for election this November, and these seats are vulnerable due to Trump’s win here in 2016. With stronger support from the working class, however, these seats could remain in the hands of Democrats. The impacts of a Democratic win in the 18th Congressional District could extend beyond the boundaries of the district. Trump won the 2016 election in part because of his unexpected wins in the Rust Belt, especially in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — states that hadn’t gone red since the 1980s. This flip was due to blue-collar workers turning out in force to vote for Trump, pushing these states over the edge. But a change in the 18th Congressional District among the same voter base could indicate a shifting national trend among industrial workers that might be able to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. And it would have an impact on local politics in these states too. Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio all have Republican governors, partially due to their support from the same voters. Some of these governors are term-limited come November, and others won their elections by a relatively small margin, making a change in party control within the states possible. A similar change could happen with House and Senate seats, too. The special election may hold few direct consequences in the near future, but this election will serve as the canary in the coal mine for upcoming elections. As the results come in tonight, Republicans will be holding their breath — hoping that their worst-case scenario is not realized. And for those who oppose Trump and his agenda, there’s no better time than now to make it known. Brian primarily writes about politics and the environment. Write to Brian at briangentry@pitt. edu.

Zaki deﬁes genre in debut self-titled album

Sarah Connor Staff Writer Jesse Descutner, a 2016 Pitt graduate, heard the environmental term “urban heat island” in an undergraduate urban studies class and immediately thought it would be a good name for his band. In that same class, Descutner, a guitarist, met bassist Sean O’Connor, a 2017 Pitt graduate. The two started jamming together and were set on using the name Urban Heat Island for the band. Weeks after Descutner and O’Connor started playing together, they collected a few more band members — such as 2017 grad and drummer Stephen Kraus and Dave Pirozzi, another guitarist. Jack Stauber, a senior at Pitt and a popular solo artist, soon joined the band as lead singer. “Once all five of us started jamming together, and we realized this was actually a band, we all agreed that we should probably shorten the name,” Descutner said. After weeks of tossing around name ideas, the band eventually decided on Zaki, which stems from the band members’ mutual love for the work of Japanese director, animator and author Hayao Miyazaki. After performing at local house shows and small concert venues for about two years, Zaki released its very first album — a self-titled collection of seven original songs — to the group’s Spotify and Bandcamp pages Feb. 13. The first track of the new album is titled

“Lyrics? We don’t know the lyrics,” Kraus said. His fellow instrumentalists laughed in agreement. Stauber has an unusual — albeit very artistic — way of pulling a song together with his lyrics and voice, and it still stuns his bandmates. “Jack’s an anomaly,” Descutner said. “He’s just his own essence, we kind of just let him be when it comes to lyrics.” Constructing a song like “Nookrug” usually starts with the instrumentalists forming “jams” — as the group calls them — and then bringing the tunes to Stauber. “Songwriting mostly just happens with us saying ‘We brought you this song, can you write lyrics to it?’ and then Jack sprinkles genius on it,” O’Connor said. The result is a genre of music difficult for the band members to define. The members of Zaki all came into the band with different influences and styles of playing, and Descutner said this shows through in the group’s music. Each musician brings a different sound element to the band. As drummer, Kraus said he brings “speedy, franticness and syncopation” to the music, creating a driving force. O’Connor brings basslines formed by mixing the sounds of alternative rock powerhouse bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and indie-pop artists like Two “Nookrug” and begins with surf rock-inspired peaceful, dreamy tone to the song.

him on 2016’s XXL Freshman Class list — a crop of young artists deemed future hip-hop stars by XXL magazine. In his early days as a star, Yachty, along with Lil Uzi Vert and 21 Savage, were trailblazers for a new brand of hiphop — a style that focused less on lyrical dexterity and street cred and more on the sound of the voice and instrumental production. Critics compared this to a sort of punk renaissance for rap, stripping the genre of its density and bringing it to new

heights of accessibility and popularity. Since the release of “Lil Boat,” Yachty has been busy releasing music that leans more toward the Migos end of the spectrum than his initial bubblegum trap style. When Lil Yachty announced the release of “Lil Boat 2,” fans were excited, hoping to see a return to the sound that made this boat into a yacht. Yachty revealed the track and feature See Yachty on page 5

The Cure. Descutner says that as a guitarist, he is not afraid to use distortion similar to indie rock groups like Real Estate, one of his favorite bands — while fellow guitarist Pirozzi looks to Mac DeMarco for inspiration. “When people ask what our genre is, we can come to the conclusion that it is kind of like postpunk, but dancier,” he said. “It’s not very dark, it’s definitely got an upbeat nature to it. It’s not fullfledged punk, it gets melodic sometimes.” O’Connor agreed, comparing the music of Zaki to some of the vastly different, much less uplifting music he enjoys listening to. “I love sad music, Jesse and I both do, but Zaki songs get me pumped up,” he said. Fans of Zaki will have experienced this upbeat, dancy punk at one of the group’s many shows in the Pittsburgh area recently. Zaki often plays venues popular with Pitt students, such as The Bushnel, but it is also no stranger to the Mr. Roboto Project and Mr. Small’s Theatre, both of which are popular with local and national acts alike. Following the release of its new album, the band has booked shows at bars like Howlers Coyote Cafe and Brillobox. Because Stauber is native to the Erie area of northwestern Pennsylvania, Zaki has also had the chance to play shows in that part of the state. “The Bushnel has kind of become our home base,” Descutner said. “We had our album release show there, and it was packed. We’re also playing Pittfest there in a few weeks, that’s going to be fun.” The Pittfest event at the Bushnel will be a weekend-long concert beginning Thursday, March 29, featuring dozens of bands with Pittrelated members. Zaki will perform in the early evening Saturday, March 31, along with a solo performance from Stauber. Zaki’s Dave Pirozzi will also perform with another band he plays with, Pinstripe Sunny. The event costs $5 at the door and features other performers, including popular bands on campus like Soda Club, Surf Bored and Short Fictions. O’Connor and the rest of the band said the group look forward to playing Pittfest, mostly because playing with Zaki creates moments of joy for them. “I’ve been told that I look like I’m having fun when I play with Zaki,” he said between laughs with his bandmates. “Dave says when he performs with Pinstripe, he’s very focused and doing his thing, but when he’s playing with Zaki, his eyes roll into the back of his head and he just starts flying around.”

list last Monday. The album would include Ugly God and Migos members Quavo and Offset, as well as Lil Pump, fresh from the wake of his smash hit “Gucci Gang.” Despite high expectations, Yachty’s album is a far cry from the bubblegum sound heard on the album’s predecessor. Its instrumentals sound no better than those a SoundCloud rapper might pull off of YouTube even with superstar producer credits.

pittnews.com

On tracks like “OOPS,” “TALK TO ME NICE” and “MICKEY,” Yachty’s vocal performances sound uninspired, and he is consistently outshined by his featured artists. Yachty’s solo tracks — devoid of the star power of Quavo or 2Chainz — are forgettable at best, leaving the listener with almost no impression at all. After 16 bled-together tracks with few memorable songs among them, the album’s closer, “66,” provides a ray of hope in the desolation of this album. The song features a punchy beat that

March 13, 2018

complements Yachty’s mush-mouthed delivery flawlessly. While it does not quite achieve the quality of his previous glory, it does show that Lil Boat still has it in him to crank out a party hit from time to time. The “Lil Boat” sequel’s quality could very well be a determining factor for the future of Lil Yachty’s career. Unfortunately, the album contained track after track of SoundCloud-esque trap beats and uninspired vocal performances. This album may be the final nail in the coffin for Yachty’s waning career.

Panthers stay busy over break

John Shaiken Staff Writer While students fled to warm weather and sandy beaches over break, Pitt sports had a busy week. The women’s diving team saw members qualify for nationals, but gymnastics fell short despite a solid performance. Tennis had mixed results and is still seeking the team’s first ACC win, even with near perfection in nonconference play. Women’s Diving Pitt women’s diving had a successful week at the NCAA Zone A Championships at the Rutgers Aquatic Center in Piscataway, New Jersey — with several Pitt divers qualifying for the NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships. Senior Meme Sharp and first year Lydia Rosenthall both qualified for the national championships in the 1-meter springboard, posting a 548.55 and 528.95, respectively. Both also qualified for the 3-meter springboard, with Sharp scoring a 572.30 and Rosenthall finishing with a 569.90. This marks Sharp’s third consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships. Sophomore Krista Jones just missed qualifying for the championships on platform, finishing with a score of 442.7. Likewise, sophomore Cortnee Williams missed the mark for the national championships in the 1-meter springboard, scoring a 482.65. Both Jones and Williams were finalists at the Zone A Championships in their respective events. Sharp and Rosenthall will be joined at the NCAA Championships by senior swimmers Lina Rathsack and Amanda Richey, who had both previously qualified. The championships will be held in Columbus, Ohio, March 14-17 at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion. Gymnastics Gymnastics posted Pitt’s fourth-highest bars score in program history at 49.175 but came in last in the tri-meet against No.18 George Washington and West Virginia at the Charles E. Smith Center in Washington, D.C., over the weekend.

back. George Washington finished on top at the end of the meet. The Colonials won with a score of 196.875, followed by the Mountaineers at 196.425 and the Panthers at 195.500. Pitt will travel to Chapel Hill, N.C., to face UNC in its last regular season matchup Saturday, March 17, at Carmichael Arena. Tennis Pitt Tennis had a busy break competing in three matches, winning one and losing two. The week started off with a weekend trip to Florida to face Miami and Florida State and concluded at home against Morgan State. The Panthers were winless on their road trip, first dropping a 4-0 decision to Miami March 2, before losing to No. 23 Florida State 7-0 March 4. During the Miami match, senior Callie Frey had her seven-match win streak brought to an end, as she lost to first year Ulyana Shirokova 6-1, 6-0 in singles competition. At Florida State, junior Luisa Varon was the only Panther to win a set, forcing a third set in her match against Petra Hule, who ultimately won 7-5, 6-7, 10-6. Pitt came back home Saturday, March 10, and landed themselves back in the win column with a 6-1 win over Morgan State in their last nonconference match of the season. Frey and her partner, first year Camila Moreno, won the only doubles match of the day, 6-1, against Morgan State senior Danielle Thompson and first year Peggy Rooke. Morgan State was not able to field enough players to play the typical three doubles matches and dropped a point in singles for only having five available players. Frey also returned to her winning ways in singles competition, defeating Morgan State first year Asmara Faluke 6-1, 6-3, putting her at 8-2 on the year. Pitt now sits at 6-5, with a record of 6-1 in nonconference play and winless in the ACC at 0-4. The Panthers look to pick up that first win in conference play when they host No. 10 Wake Forest Friday, March 16, at the Oxford Athletic Club.
