SGB ANNOUNCES NEW CHAIRS, RECAPS ACCOMPLISHMENTS Maureen Hartwell Staff Writer

On Tuesday night at its final meeting of the academic year, Pitt Student Government Board shared memories of late nights in the office and members falling asleep during meetings. Each board member and committee chair provided a synopsis of their

SGB experience from this year in lieu of typical reports. Some committee chairs introduced their successors before starting their remarks, naming incoming Elections Chair Nick Bibby, incoming Academic Affairs Chair Durga Ramachandran, incoming Community and Government Relations Chair Tyler Viljaste, incoming Wellness Chair

Neena Duong and incoming Diversity and Inclusion Chair Ravi Gandhi. Current board member and President-elect Zechariah Brown spoke about how the SGB community has been integral in his time at Pitt. He said to outsiders it may seem that the board is just a group of people who See SGB on page 2

Market Central passed a Tuesday reinspection by the Allegheny County Health Department after being cited for nine health code violations last Monday. In the original inspection, Market received two high-risk violations due to cooked tofu stored at improper temperatures and “dried residue” present on a cutting board. Two medium-risk and five low-risk violations were also levied against the facility. When reinspected, the facility had satisfactory results in these categories, according to the Tuesday report. Market received 21 violations in an inspection last October, prompting outrage from students. The facility was reinspected later in October and received seven violations. According to the reinspection report, the health department inspector met on-site with Sodexo and Pitt management after the reinspection. University spokesperson Joe Miksch said the reinspection results were due to “immediate corrective actions” on the part of Sodexo. “Food safety remains a top priority and we take all food safety and service violations seriously,” Miksch said in an email. “Our partners at Sodexo took immediate corrective actions and today’s Allegheny County Health Department reinspection of Market Central resulted in zero violations, which is and will remain our goal for every inspection.”

work well together, but they really are like a family. “Being a board member, there are times when your initiative doesn’t run correctly or an event doesn’t go correctly and you have to adapt,” Brown said. “But I had a lot of people that I could talk to about this because I know they have me and I have them.” Reflecting on the 2018-19 academic year, Brown said using his mother’s curry chicken recipe for Eat and Greet’s Black History Month is his favorite memory. But separate from this personal touch, Brown said this year was also important for “showing SGB’s grit.” Brown ranked the board’s gun control letter — in which SGB called on legislators to pass stricter gun control

laws — as one of the most important things SGB has done this academic year. “There’s so many things we do that are universally loved and accepted on campus,” Brown said. “But I think that taking that risk and making a state-

ment on something that wasn’t really risk-free showed to different groups of students that we care about them, and even when it’s not easy we will stand up for them.” Heading into the 2019-20 academic year, Brown said he’s excited to work

with the new board members, though he’s sad to see current members leave. “I don’t think I’m losing the connections I have this year, I just think that my SGB family is getting a bit bigger,” Brown said. Brown went on to say he’s nervous about next year because of the example he thinks current SGB President Maggie Kennedy has set. He said he wants to live up to the gravity of this role without micromanaging the other board members. “I take this role very seriously and my biggest concern is that in some way I might not live up to it,” Brown said. “So that motivates me to be more intentional in decisions whether that’s in analyzing policy or setting meeting times.” Facilities, Technology and Transportation Chair Caroline Unger reflected

SGB, pg. 2 on how her role will change as she transitions into the position of vice president and chief of cabinet in the 2019-20 academic year. “In my first year I was given some involvement and responsibility but I wasn’t being depended on,” Unger said. “I think that moving into my role as FTAT chair was so exciting because of that newness and independence, so I’m going to miss that.” Unger said she started working with SGB as a first-year student through the First Year Council and always knew she wanted to run for board one day. She said seeing these goals come to fruition is really exciting because it gives her an opportunity to help Pitt students through various issues which she ran on, namely

food insecurity. “I think it’s something that is often overlooked. I would like to see our administration take a firmer stance on food insecurity,” Unger said. Unger, like many board and committee members, also reflected on the significance of the SGB community and how the board’s office on the eighth floor of the Union feels like a home to the members. “As soon as you step in you just have this immediate feeling of being home, just being accepted and welcomed and as if you’re around people who are always going to be there for you,” Unger said. In her final president’s remarks, Kennedy said she never imagined herself in her current position four years ago. She said her time with SGB has been very transformative, noting the

possible difference between how she views herself and how others might view her. “It’s difficult to deal with who you know you are as a person versus what is presented publicly to people,” Kennedy said. “Dealing with low-key being public figures has been weird for us.” She also said it’s transformed her professionally through unique handson experiences. “I’m just really grateful for this job — and it is a job — has prepared me for the real world more than any class I’ve ever taken,” Kennedy said. Kennedy also said she’s proud of the work the board has done this academic year, namely “opening doors of communication for constituents.” She said this manifested in the town halls, which she believes have been a great

success and which President-elect Brown will likely continue next year. “It’s been a way for us to better be the representatives we were elected to be,” Kennedy said. “And it allows students a channel to talk face-to-face with us, staff, faculty and admin.” Kennedy wrapped up her remarks by noting that despite this year’s success there’s progress which next year’s board can, and will, make. “This University, like the world surrounding it, is imperfect and there is a lot of work to be done,” Kennedy said. “But with every effort of students like you, it’s nearing closer and closer to that impossible goal.” Allocations The Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers requested $4,704.80 for its annual conference. The board approved $2,000 and denied $2,704.80.

UNCONVENTIONAL OPTIONS AFTER GRADUATION

Anna Bongardino Contributing Editor

We’ve all heard the dreaded, anxiety-inducing question. It’s the favorite conversation topic of every well-meaning family member you have, at every family gathering in the year or two before you graduate from college. “What are you doing after graduation?” They often pose the question with a smile, blissfully unaware of the internal panic it causes. There is a good chance they will expect you to talk about applying for full-time jobs or grad schools, but these certainly aren’t the only options. I’ve spent roughly the last 10 months preparing for my graduation this April by researching more unconventional post-grad options. I’ve considered a variety of options that will allow me to do some low-budget traveling and to postpone starting a full-time job, before I have things like a mortgage and a full house’s worth of furniture to tie me down. For you rising seniors and current seniors who aren’t sure what your post-grad plans look like yet, here’s a culmination of much of my research. Become an au pair If you want to explore a new country, to become well acquainted with a few locals and free food and housing for anywhere from one month to a year or two, this could be a great option for you. The caveat — you need to like kids and be OK with living on a budget. If you’re not familiar with the term, an au pair is a live-in nanny from a foreign country. It comes with benefits, like the fact that this job is as much about cultural exchange as it is about taking care of kids, so many families won’t require you to speak the language of your host country and will ask you to speak to their kids in English. The other obvious perk is free room and board. Most families will often also pay for a phone plan and health insurance in your host country. If you’re lucky, they might pay for all or part of your plane

program sponsored by the U.S. government, but the program typically asks volunteers for three to 12 months of service somewhere in the United States, as opposed to more than two years in a foreign country. Of course the immediate benefit to this option is that you probably won’t need to overcome a steep language barrier or cultural differences. With 21,000 locations nationwide, there are opportunities to serve all across the country, in rural, suburban and urban settings. Volunteers often work in schools, on disaster relief programs or in poverty-reduction programs. Similarly to the Peace Corps, one undeniable benefit to Americorps is its loan forbearance program. Volunteers can ask for loan forbearance that allows them to stop making loan payments during their term of service and Americorps will often pay all or a portion of the interest on volunteers’ loans which accumulated during their service. Likewise, Americorps also gives volunteers a living stipend and an education award. WWOOF You might be wondering what exactly this acronym stands for. The answer: Working Weekends on Organic Farms. For sustainability activists and people who love the outdoors — and getting their hands a little dirty — this is the perfect option. WWOOFers work for four to six hours a day on a farm and in exchange their hosts provide free room and board. WWOOF has programs in more than 100 countries spanning Africa, the Americas, AsiaPacific, Europe and the Middle East. There is no typical amount of time hosts and WWOOFers work together. Based upon an agreement between WWOOFers and their hosts, a stay can last a few days or a few months. For hosts looking for extra help and volunteers who are adventurous and hardworking, WWOOFing can provide a great opportunity for cultural exchange for everyone involved.

Ollison claims Pitt is Running Back U Trent Leonard

Sports Editor Former Pitt running back and 2018 leading rusher Qadree Ollison made an appearance on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” show Tuesday morning. Ollison, a 2019 NFL Draft prospect considered the 27th best at his position by NFL.com, used his platform to discuss, among other things, his view that Pitt is the definitive running back university. “I don’t see another university producing in college and the NFL at a high level,” Ollison said. “So, that’s why I say Pitt is RBU because we produce them on both levels, not just college.” The phrase “RBU,” or running back university, has been used to describe several other schools known for producing talented backs, chiefly Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama, Miami, LSU, USC and Wisconsin. During his televised segment, Ollison gave a pretty convincing argument where he listed all of Pitt’s running backs who had success in college and went on to have fruitful NFL careers, including Tony Dorsett, Curtis Martin, LeSean McCoy, Craig Heyward, Dion Lewis and James Conner. That’s pretty elite company for a few reasons. Since the modern era of the NFL began in 1967, 32 running backs have been selected to the NFL Hall of Fame. No school has produced more inductees at the position than Pitt, with Dorsett being selected in 1994 and Martin in 2012. It’s pretty safe to assume that McCoy will also be enshrined in Canton once his career is over. A quick glance at the top 25 rushers in NFL history reveals more Pitt alumni than any other school — Martin is fifth with 14,101 yards, Dorsett is 10th with 12,739 yards and McCoy is 25th and climbing with 10,606 yards.

From a historical precedent, Pitt has a reasonable claim as the most elite producer of professional talent. One notable competitor would be Notre Dame, which boasts a pair of 10,000+ yard NFL rushers in Jerome Bettis and Ricky Watters. The only problem is that many of the Fighting Irish’s other top rushers, like NFL Hall of Famer Paul Hornung

drop-off in production after that duo, with USC alumni Reggie Bush, Mike Garrett and Sam Cunningham all hovering around the 5,500-yard marker. Only two schools can truly challenge Pitt’s NFL backfield production from a historical view — Texas and Miami. The Longhorns have just one 10,000-yard rusher to their name in Ricky Williams,

But they boast an impressive amount of depth, with former Pro Bowlers Earl Campbell, Priest Holmes and Jamaal Charles all accumulating more than 7,000 yards each, with Cedric Benson adding in 6,017 of his own. This group doesn’t hold a candle to Pitt’s top three, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a

deeper pool of successful running backs who all came from the same school. But when it comes to producing high-caliber NFL running backs, it’s evident that both Pitt and Texas must acknowledge Miami as king. Like the Panthers, the Hurricanes have seen three of their backs go on to gain 10,000 or more rushing yards at the next level — Frank Gore (14,748 and counting), Edgerrin James (12,246) and Ottis Anderson (10,273). Two other Miami running backs also came close to 10,000, with Clinton Portis and Willis McGahee rushing for 9,923 and 8,474 yards, respectively. People are quick to forget about players once they retire, however, so another aspect of the RBU argument revolves around which school is currently the top producer of NFL running backs. Despite stiff competition from Alabama and Georgia, Pitt still holds up in this contemporary setting. LeSean McCoy is still chugging along for the Buffalo Bills, and is one of the NFL’s most elusive runners when healthy. After bouncing around the league for a few years, Lewis found a meaningful niche with the New England Patriots, helping the team win Super Bowl LI in his role as a change-of-pace back. He became the team’s leading rusher in 2017, gaining 896 yards and averaging 5.0 yards per carry, which allowed him to sign a cushy contract with the Tennessee Titans last offseason. But Conner is Pitt’s brightest backfield hope at the moment and the Panthers’ best argument at maintaining a reputation as running back university. After being drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers and becoming a hometown hero after conquering Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2015, Conner broke through in a big See Running Back on page 7

Running Back, pg. 6 way last season. With estranged running back Le’Veon Bell holding out the entire season due to contract disputes, Conner took the league by storm, rushing for 973 yards and 12 touchdowns while tacking on 497 receiving yards in just 13 games. With Bell now out of town, Conner enters 2019 as the workhorse in Pittsburgh’s backfield, and could have an outstanding career if he remains healthy. While Pitt’s former backfield mem-

bers still hold a presence in the NFL, there are a few other schools which have made a serious push at the RBU title in recent years. Georgia may be the one with the brightest future — threetime Pro Bowler Todd Gurley, Sony Michel and Nick Chubb all possess immense talent and own the keys to their respective backfields. Oklahoma can claim Adrian Peterson, currently eighth on the NFL’s all-time rushing list, as well as 2018 AFC rushing leader Joe Mixon. Successful Alabama backs can be found throughout the league,

from Mark Ingram to Derrick Henry. The Tide also boast this year’s No. 1 and No. 2 backfield prospects, Josh Jacobs and Damien Harris. All things considered, it seems that there are only two schools that can boast the depth, history and contemporary talent that Pitt has produced at the running back position: Miami and Oklahoma. Some schools produce backs that have outstanding college careers but don’t pan out at the next level (looking at you, Penn State), others are too tied up in ancient history (USC and

Notre Dame) while others burst onto the scene too recently (Georgia, Alabama, LSU). It’s all a matter of opinion, but the fact that Pitt is even in the discussion among schools with a richer college football history shows just how much of a knack it’s developed for creating star running backs. When asked on air if Ollison, Pitt’s seventh-leading all-time rusher, can continue the tradition, he confidently said yes. Hopefully, a team gives him a chance to put his money where his mouth is.
