Rainbow B.o.B., X Ambassadors rock Bigelow Bash practices self-defense Dale Shoemaker News Editor

About three years ago, John Kandray, his boyfriend and their friends were eating and drinking at the Little Italy Days Heritage Festival in Bloomfield when another group of men began making anti-gay slurs about them. “I had no idea what to do,” he said. The situation didn’t escalate beyond the insults, Kandray said, but it still made him feel helpless. Soon after, Kandray, now an assistant trainer, took up kung fu and other forms of self-defense as a way to protect himself and his loved ones. On Sunday, he shared his training with Pitt students as part of the first formal defense session Pitt’s Rainbow Alliance hosted for students. Three students from Rainbow Alliance sparred with three martial arts instructors in the William Pitt Union’s Kurtzman room for about three hours. Instructors from Steve DeMasco’s Shaolin Studios, a kung fu studio in Regent Square — taught the self-defense session. The session was one of a growing number of outreach classes the Shaolin Studios’ instructors are conducting in the city to train marginalized groups. Sunday’s session was part of a partnership between RainSee Self-defense on page 2

Surfing a crowd of Pitt students Saturday at Bigelow Bash, hip-hop artist B.o.B. grabbed a cell phone from a student and snapped a selfie from atop the crowd. This year’s Bigelow Bash, Pitt Program Council’s annual free spring concert, featured two headliners — B.o.B. and alternative rock band X Ambassadors. Filling Bigelow Bou-

levard and the nearby lawns, about 4,500 to 5,000 Pitt students and community members, according to Shawn Cassidy, special events director for PPC, danced and munched on free food during one of Pittsburgh’s first nice spring days. The crowd chanted “f*** Penn State” alongside the rapper, jumped for T-shirts that B.o.B. threw to the crowd and shouted along with lyrics. For Evan Helenbrook, a first-year

mechanical engineering major, that atmosphere was exactly what attracted him to the event. “I was just here for B.o.B. and it was so lit,” Helenbrook said. After performing “Roll Up” from his upcoming mixtape E.A.R.T.H. and a remix of Young Dro’s “FDB,” B.o.B. ended his set with a line of advice. See Bigelow Bash on page 3

Self-defense, pg. 1 bow Alliance and Shaolin Studios that Rainbow president Marcus Robinson said the club hopes to expand in the coming year so more members of the club can attend. Noting recent attacks on members of the LGBTQ+ community, Kandray said self-defense training is important for both protection and confidence. “Our rights and well-being are challenged and we’re being told we’re less than and that we’re not worth defending,” Kandray, who trains at the Shaolin Studios, said. “We want to cut that down to nothing.” According to FBI data from 2014, more than 20 percent of hate crimes that year, or about 1,114 cases out of 5,462, were directed at members of the LGBTQ+ community. The instructors at Shaolin currently pair with groups like fraternities and sororities, the Pitt police and now the Rainbow Alliance, to teach self-defense classes at Pitt. Sunday’s session covered basic tenets of self-defense, including awareness and intuition, body language and eye contact and basic kicks and punches.

Because he’s trained in tae kwon do for eight years and knows the importance of self-defense, Peter Crouch, the incoming president of Rainbow and current business manager, said he had wanted the club to host this kind of program since the beginning of the school year. According to Lisa Nakamura, a sixthdegree black belt in Shaolin Kung Fu, who runs Shaolin Studios with her husband, the first step to self-defense is as simple as paying attention. “It’s listening to that inner voice that says, ‘Something isn’t right,’” Nakamura, who led the training session on Sunday, said. “I think we tend to squash that voice.” Especially when walking alone at Michele Colvard elbows Lisa Nakamura at a self-defense demonstration night, Nakamura said she recommends Sunday.

Bigelow Bash, pg. 3 Throughout the performances, students feasted on food truck delicacies, including grilled cheese and shaved ice. Following the success of last year, PPC brought in 10 food trucks, giving students 10 tickets redeemable for one item from each truck. Each truck typically only had one menu item in order to streamline the process. The 10 tickets could get students plenty of food, ranging from pierogies to barbecue to crepes. A ticket was redeemable for a cupcake

from Bella Christie and Lil Z’s Sweet Boutique truck, a barbecue rib from Big Poppa’s Homecookin’ truck or a taco from Las Chicas’ truck, among other treats. “I knew Pitt didn’t just get some cheap food when I saw the food trucks,” Nicole Levy, a firstyear neuroscience major, said. One of the longest lines was for the Southside BBQ Company truck, nicknamed the CarnivoreMobile, which served up its BarBa-Cone, a waffle cone stuffed with mac and cheese, pulled pork and coleslaw. “The food is good, quality food,” Levy said.

“I was so happy when I realized that.” Last year, all 11 vendors sold out in three hours. On Saturday, the food was gone in just over two and a half hours. “We had a line from in front of the Union all the way into the quad of people waiting for their food tickets,” Cassidy said. Shivangee Makharia, a first-year actuarial math and German major, did not mind waiting in the lines for food, especially if she got to listen to music too. “I’m mostly here for the food,” she said. “But the music is actually pretty good too.”

Self-defense, pg. 2 that if Colvard were to attack, he would be ready. Colvard, who had come up behind Crouch for a potential attack, was taken aback. With his feet firmly squared toward Colvard, Crouch maintained stern eye contact and braced himself with fists raised. “If you’re starting to get that feeling — that the creep-o-meter starts going off — you want to give yourself a buffer,” Nakamura said. As the other two students and instructors followed suit, Nakamura showed everyone how a stance that showed a person was ready to attack if necessary and a stern “no” or “stop” would tell any potential attackers to back off. “We’re a community that doesn’t always feel safe walking home at night,” Crouch said. “I think making people feel safe is important.” Finally, as a last resort, Nakamura taught the students to throw their elbows, hit with their palms and kick an assailant’s knees and shins in order to escape an attack. These attacks hit the “big nerve centers” of the body, Nakamura said, which makes it more likely for a person defending themselves to overcome the flood of adrenaline in their bloodstream. Many people forget the fourth step in self-defense, Nakamura said, which is calling the police, seeking medical attention or getting some other form of help. After the formal training, Nakamura taught the students how to turn everyday items — like textbooks, coffee mugs and keys — into blunt weapons they could use to hit an attacker. “We’re just buying you time to get out of there, that’s why it’s self-defense,” Nakamura said. “We’re just buying you time so you can go get help.”

Opinions from the editorial board

UC Davis cover-up antithetical to education At UC Davis, blinding students has surpassed the physical realm. During a 2011 Occupy protest at the University of California, Davis’ campus, police pepper-sprayed a row of sitting students at point blank. Pictures and videos of the incident quickly went viral, becoming embarrassing evidence of student mistreatment. Five years later, new reports from the Sacramento Bee show that UC Davis spent at least $175,000 to scrub this content from search engine results and social media. Instead of taking the conflict as a chance to strengthen relationships with students through dialogue about the wrongs, the university prioritized its image. By spending tuition money on a campaign to hide information from prospective students and their families, UC Davis showed that it cares more about its image than students’ peace of mind. If UC Davis was purely a profit-driven corporation, it would make sense to see its administrators focus on damage control. That’s how businesses work. But while it’s true that universities in 2016 look more and more like profit-driven corporations, their primary function should be to ensure a healthy and safe learning environment for students. Misinforming potential students and attempting to hide history by scrubbing the content goes against higher education’s core values. The money UC Davis spent could have gone toward actually bettering its relationship with students rather than concealing its flaws. The university could have expanded scholarship programs to help alleviate the debt those protesters were fighting. It could have invested

pittnews.com

in improving community relations or any other event to help the campus heal as a group after the national embarrassment. Instead, those limited funds went to the trash. Thinking that it could pay to purge the Internet of embarrassing pictures is absurd, and now the very pictures UC Davis hoped to hide are back in the national spotlight. Students applying to college are old enough to understand what a protest is. These people witnessed the Ferguson, Missouri, unrest, the #BlackLivesMatter movement and the political rise of Donald Trump during their formative years. Treating students like they can’t process the complicated relationship between activists and institutions is insulting. The damage that the pepper spray scandal could do to UC Davis in the long run is probably low. Once that generation of students is completely gone, institutional memory may forget that blunder as part of the larger Occupy movement. This disrespect for both students and the public will leave a larger mark. UC Davis was not part of a general counterforce against protesters here — it was the primary actor in a cover-up campaign. The secret is out, and there must be an administrative response. UC Davis holds its students to a student conduct policy. It was this very policy that allowed police to spray and physically drag Occupy protesters down a sidewalk in the first place. UC Davis owes its students an explanation for why they should respect the moral guidelines of a school that can’t act ethically itself.

Gen-eds more than fillers

Amber Montgomery Columnist

My apartment is home to a mini copy of Hieronymus Bosch’s “The Garden of Earthly Delights,” and I owe it to a class I never wanted to take. As a History major, I’m the last person who wants to drag myself out of bed and across campus to listen to a lecture on triptych paintings when it’s 10 degrees out. But despite popular sentiment about general education requirements, suffering through World Art wasn’t a waste of time. As much as gen-ed lectures about Frida Kahlo’s self-portraits provide tempting nap opportunities for those with unrelated interests, they can hold a lot of inherent value for those who

April 18, 2016

bother to show up. Being pushed into unrelated fields isn’t something to get angry about — it’s a valuable opportunity to grow. Gen-eds are the basis of a liberal arts education, which is what Pitt says it aims to give every student. Pitt’s Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences offers the courses that count as gen-eds, but students from every school are required to satisfy arts and sciences requirements in order to graduate. Pitt’s gen-ed requirements are similar to those of most other liberal arts colleges. They require a few writing-focused courses; a variety of humanities, arts, social and natural sciences classes; a second language and international and See Montgomery on page 7

Montgomery, pg. 6 non-western culture requirements. For most students, this adds up to 19 classes. The purpose of an undergraduate liberal arts education isn’t to make sure you become an advanced specialist in your field. It’s about making sure you come out on the other side a well-rounded citizen who can make it — in both the real world and your profession. An Association of American Colleges and Universities survey found that 93 percent of employers said “a demonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly and solve complex problems is more important than [a candidate’s] undergraduate major.” While learned content is a big part of collegiate studies, learning how to apply that knowledge through critical thinking and problem solving is just as important. An employer won’t care how closely you read your political science textbooks if you can’t think on your feet and adapt to new situations. In the same survey, 80 percent of

pittnews.com

employers agreed that despite their major, every student should “acquire broad knowledge in the liberal arts and sciences.” Being able to compose a well-written report, have basic math and computing skills and reference important historical events are all necessary aspects of almost any job. A marketing major can use knowledge of international cultures to help adapt their message to wider and more diverse audiences. A political science major working on a candidate’s campaign should be able to calculate statistics for a brief. And while a doctor’s knowledge of health and the human body is important, forming empathy and a connection with a patient by being able to discuss art or books is also vital. A gen-ed isn’t supposed to inspire a deeper passion in the subject — it’s more of an opportunity to learn a bit about a new topic. But sometimes it can be the catalyst to discovering new interests. I had absolutely zero interest in taking Introduction to Cultural Anthropol-

ogy sophomore year, but once I started bothering to pay attention in lecture, I actually found it fascinating and helpful. Now, my senior thesis uses ethnographic research methods, something I didn’t even know existed until I learned about them in that class. It’s not always evident how or if a gened will be rewarding for you. Still, you might find it surprisingly useful later in life. It may even benefit you before you leave campus. First-year students in particular benefit from exploring new areas of interest because many don’t have a clear idea of what field suits them best. Eighty percent of students heading to college in the fall have yet to pick a major. And of those who have, 50 percent change at least once. If you come to Pitt carrying the “undecided” label like I did, gen-eds are a good way to take a bunch of different classes on interesting topics without feeling like you’re wasting credits and time. You can explore different fields across the arts and sciences to find your niche

April 18, 2016

while building a diverse and impressive transcript. And I don’t care how strongly you think you want to be a doctor, a psychologist or an economist — it’s never a bad idea to take a few classes outside your comfort zone just to make sure. Complaining about how annoying gen-eds can be is a legitimate grievance. Why would I want to take Introduction to Performance when I could be taking an advanced class about the religions of ancient Egypt? Paying for knowledge you have no interest in gaining is understandably unappealing. But at the end of your four years, an academic career balancing both depth and breadth is key to success in whatever you wish to pursue. So when you’re enrolling for classes for next semester, take the most interesting — or the easiest — gen-eds you can find. When you’re stuck in Russian Fairy Tales for a whole semester, you continue to complain about it — but then try to make the most of it. You just might learn something.

Standouts emerge in Pitt’s Blue-Gold Game Jeremy Tepper Staff Writer

As a sloppy, defense-oriented contest, Saturday’s Blue-Gold spring scrimmage wasn’t much to watch. But there was a silver lining in Pitt football’s disappointing season premier at Heinz Field. Three players emerged as standouts, some of whom made surprising comebacks from last season. Jester Weah, Wide Receiver Three catches, 102 yards Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi talked up three-star recruit Weah at the onset of last season, based on his strong performance in practices. Narduzzi’s hype and Weah’s blend of size, speed and strength, generated excitement that flatlined on the field last year. Despite his inconsistent playing time through five games last season, Weah didn’t record a catch. But in Saturday’s intrasquad scrimmage, Weah finally flashed his abilities in front of a crowd. With receptions of 42 and 47 yards, Weah displayed his ability as a vertical threat that Narduzzi said his team lacked last season. “It was good to see Jester Weah on offense,” Narduzzi said. “He showed you guys what he’s shown us over the first 14 [practices] with two long catches.” The primary source of Weah’s in-game troubles, according to the 6-foot-3, 205-pound receiver himself, is his lack of confidence. Saturday’s performance may have returned some of Weah’s lost mojo, quarterback Nathan Peterman said. From left: Elijah Zeise, Quadree Henderson and Jester Weah. Jeff Ahearn ASSISTANT VISUAL EDITOR

Pitt softball takes the weekend vs. Georgia tech Elizabeth Lepro

Assistant Sports Editor A bang-up offensive performance this weekend led the Pitt women’s softball team to a series victory over Georgia Tech at home. The Panthers softball team (28-15, 7-9 ACC) topped Georgia Tech (17-27, 4-10 ACC) 2-1 over the weekend. Pitt took the first game on Saturday 4-3 and lost the second 9-8, before some breakout offense from the

Panthers pulled them to 9-4 in the third game Sunday afternoon. In game one on Saturday, a single from Pitt sophomore shortstop McKayla Taylor drove in Shelby Pickett for the first run of the game. Georgia Tech battled back in the top of the fourth to take a 2-1 lead off of back-to-back singles, before Maggie Sevilla nailed one over the right field wall in the bottom of the inning to tie the game 2-2.

Sophomore Kayla Harris — who pitched the entire 10 innings and let seven hits off in 37 at-bats — walked Yellow Jacket Colleen Darragh and brought in a run. She held three runners on for the rest of the inning, leaving the score at 3-2 going into the bottom of the sixth. Sevilla knocked a single to left field and brought in Kathryn Duran in the sixth. Both teams remained scoreless until the 10th inning when Sevilla brought Pickett in on a double to

April 18, 2016

end the game 4-3 in Pitt’s favor. The Yellow Jackets sought revenge in game two Saturday, and Pitt’s offensive fire had cooled, as the Panthers brought in most of their runs on walks. Sophomore Erin Hershman started off the scoring and sent Sevilla home on a walk off of Georgia Tech’s Colleen Darragh. The Yellow Jackets took the lead back in See Softball on page 9

Softball, pg. 8 the top of the second, profiting off a single and a field error by Taylor. Jenna Modic and Giorgiana Zeremenko both drew walks and brought in Pickett to give the Panthers a 3-2 lead. In the first at-bat in the top of the third, Georgia Tech’s Courtney Ziese hit a home run to tie the game 3-3. Ziese brought in two runs off of four at-bats and two hits on the day. Back-to-back homers from first-year Olivia Gray and Taylor delivered four runs for the Panthers in the bottom of the third, giving Pitt a 7-3 jump over Georgia Tech. But the Yellow Jackets answered in the fourth with a triple down right field and a single that brought them within two runs of Pitt’s lead. In the top of the fifth, Georgia Tech’s Jessica Kowalewicz drove in two runs with a homer of her own and tied the game 7-7. Georgia Tech maintained its drive in the top of the seventh and brought the score to its final standing, 9-8. With a runner stranded on base in the bottom of the seventh, Pitt couldn’t eke out the last needed scores and Georgia Tech walked off with the game.

pittnews.com

The Panthers were charged up for Sunday’s sunny rubber match, but Hershman led the offense around the bases and on the plate. The Panthers were down 3-0 in the bottom of the first, but thanks to single RBIs from offensive standouts Hershman, Zeremenko and Sevilla, Pitt left the inning on top, 4-3. Harris struggled on the mound in the second inning, hitting Georgia Tech’s Samantha Pierannunzi with a pitch before allowing two singles and one run. Harris marked six hits in two innings pitched Sunday, before Modic replaced her. Modic held the Yellow Jackets to four for the rest of the game. Hershman nailed a solo out to right field in the bottom of the third, bringing Pitt up 5-4. Hershman finished the game out with three hits in three at-bats, a game-saving solo in the third, two RBIs and a walk. She came home in the bottom of the fifth off a line drive from Gray. In the bottom of the sixth, Pitt added to its lead with three runs, and left the game 9-4 to take the series 2-1. The Panthers look to record their 29th and 30th season wins Wednesday, April 20, at Kent State in a doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m.

Football, pg. 8 “I thought it was good to come to Heinz Field and do that again, especially for him, mentally,” Peterman said. “Now, in the season, he can come back with this mentally and be like, ‘I made plays here, I’ve done it before.’” Elijah Zeise, Linebacker Eight Tackles In need of depth at outside linebacker, Narduzzi moved Zeise from receiver to the “star” linebacker spot this spring. The redshirt sophomore made a quick transition, competing with Oluwaseun Idowu for first team reps. On Saturday, Zeise exhibited the instincts and athletic ability that qualified him for the transition. Though Zeise will face more competition for the spot when Bam Bradley returns from an injury that sidelined him this spring, his performance Saturday may have helped separate him from Idowu. “[You got to watch] Elijah Zeise fly around and make some plays,” Narduzzi

said. Quadree Henderson, Wide Receiver Four rushes, 107 yards The loss of Pitt’s star wide receiver, Tyler Boyd, to the NFL Draft left a hole in the team’s offense. Pitt is in need of a receiver with the ability to contribute to the run game and to catch short passes. Henderson could be that guy. Though Henderson isn’t tall — only 5-foot-8 — he has top-end quickness and the ability to avoid defenders. On his 64yard touchdown run Saturday, the sophomore made a swift move on safety and ACC Rookie of the Year Jordan Whitehead and raced past the rest of the defenders. Narduzzi said he plans to continue using Henderson in end arounds and reverses in the run game. Having closed out last season with a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown in the Military Bowl, Henderson picked up where he left off Saturday. “Quadree Henderson finished up spring ball where he left off last season with his ability to make plays — maybe out of nothing,” Narduzzi said.
