QUICK ZONE TO STAY OPEN 24/5
Matt Canada’s journey to Heinz Field Page 8 April 20, 2016 | Issue 147 | Volume 106
Lauren Wilson Staff Writer
This fall, Quick Zone’s hours will accommodate late-night study sessions, early risers and everything in between. At Student Government Board’s last public meeting this semester, Food Committee liaison and SGB member Jacky Chen announced Tuesday that starting this fall, Quick Zone will stay open 24/5 and the Perch in Sutherland Hall will stay open until midnight. Abdou Cole, the resident district manager for Pitt Dining Services, confirmed the new hours. Chen said the issue of dining hall hours has come up many times at Food Committee meetings this academic year, so he began working with Cole to extend the hours. “We didn’t have to convince [Cole],” Chen said. “A lot was done on his part. I just provided student support and set up meetings [between Cole and students].” The new schedules will begin in fall 2016, which Chen said Cole announced at the Food Committee meeting on April 15. Chen did not know which days Quick Zone will be open 24 hours. Currently, Quick Zone is open until 11 p.m. Monday through Sunday. The Perch is open until 10 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Chen said the initiative started when See SGB on page 3

BONNER SETTLES IN AS DEAN, BEGINS PH.D.
Zoe Hannah
Assistant News Editor Behind his desk in his corner office, Kenyon Bonner keeps what he calls “paychecks” tucked in a wooden hutch. Not his literal paychecks, but rather, thank-you notes from students, like one he received from a recent graduate that reads, “I realize that, without the standards you set as a leader, I probably would not be who I am today.” Though he’s filled that hutch with notes
throughout the past year, Bonner is finally settling into his office as the newly appointed vice provost and dean of students. After serving as Pitt’s interim vice provost and dean of students for just over a year, the 43-year-old beat out three competitors for the permanent position, which he officially assumed March 1, 2016. He’s worked at Pitt for more than 12 years, rising through residence life and student affairs positions — but unlike the other three candidates who interviewed for the position and his last four predecessors, Bonner doesn’t have a doctorate degree.
Getting a doctorate degree has been a lifelong goal, Bonner said, until he got married and secured the dean position, he had another priority. “I was a single dad for five years,” Bonner said. “That was my primary focus ... to take care of my son.” As he begins working on issues of diversity, mental health and advising at Pitt, it’s finally the right time for the Washington & Jefferson College graduate to pursue his Ph.D. This summer, Bonner will begin his See Bonner on page 2

doctorate in higher education at the University of Pennsylvania, alongside other educational professionals who have similar time constraints. He said though he’d like to study at Pitt, the Penn program is designed to accommodate the busy schedules of educational professionals in high-up positions that don’t allow for full-time work during the school year. His focus will remain on his new position, which he said requires “ability, talent, experience and dedication” to provide unconditional support for the students he serves every day. As vice provost and dean of students, Bonner works with Student Affairs and other student organizations to enhance student experience and Pitt services through assessing and improving co-curricular activities. Student Government Board President Nasreen Harun said Bonner dispels myths of an administrator acting from an ivory tower too high up to hear students’ concerns and ideas. “Whenever I see students writing off administration ... that’s not the experience I’ve had with them and I think ... Have you really tried interacting with these people?” Harun said. “Especially Kenyon — he really does what he can to kind of be in touch with the students.” After growing up in Cleveland, Bonner attended Washington & Jefferson College, where he got his bachelor’s degree in psychology and, per a professor’s suggestion, philosophy. He later moved to Kent State University, where he got his master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling, then served as a resident director. As an undergraduate, Bonner ran for president of Washington & Jefferson’s Black Student Union and played basketball competitively. Off the court, he was also an artist. He wrote poetry — probably horrible poetry, he says now — refining his prose as he started taking philosophy classes and thinking about life more. In graduate school, he adapted his poetry into raps, performing freestyle in small, local venues. He also wrote short stories, sometimes riffing off of tales his father had told him of playground bullies, striving to make readers “feel the wind and the tension.” His wife, Sylvana, said she hopes he will

one day “find some time to write.” “[Rapping] sounds just like something fun, but you have to be pretty intelligent to pull that off,” Sylvana said. “He’s a great writer ... He’s artistic. He’s very artistic.” Though she knows Bonner wishes he had more time to hone his artistic skills, Sylvana said Pitt students have been his priority long before they started dating. When he took a job as the assistant director of residence life at Pitt in 2004, Bonner moved to Pittsburgh from Kent State and, sometime in 2008, reconnected with Sylvana, whom he knew from his hometown. The pair got to know each other once again as Bonner rose through positions at Pitt, including associate dean of students, director of student life and the director of RISE Mentoring Program, and eventually married in 2012. Now, four years later, the couple has combined their two families together and cares for their four kids together — Chase, 9, Jasmine, 11, Grant, 14, from Sylvana’s past marriage, and Ijhad, 17, from Bonner’s first marriage. Though his kids could likely teach him how to use it, Bonner said he still doesn’t understand Twitter — and he doesn’t really care to. He said he’d rather immerse himself in campus life than try to understand student life via the internet. To learn more about protecting students, Bonner spent a few evenings doing overnight shifts as a security guard in campus residence halls when he worked in residence life. Bonner got a uniform from U.S. Security and worked all night long alongside the regular guards — from around 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., he said. Bonner said the guards in charge didn’t let him work on his own for his one-night sub-in, but he was thankful for the opportunity to chat with the overnight workers about their work and the students’ nighttime habits. “[I] wanted to understand what the security guards’ experiences were like during the afterhours time period,” Bonner said. “They play a very important role in protecting our students.” Now, as vice provost of students, Bonner connects with his students perhaps more directly — if they have a question, he’s there to talk.

KASICH VISITS MARKET SQUARE
Lauren Rosenblatt Assistant News Editor
Presidential hopeful John Kasich stopped in Pittsburgh Wednesday to visit the city closest to his hometown. Kasich, who grew up in McKees Rocks and began his political career in Robinson Township, visited the Original Oyster House in Market Square before continuing on his campaign trail for a stop in Maryland. His visit comes shortly after fellow Republican candidate Donald Trump held a rally in Pittsburgh on March 13, and a week before the Pennsylvania primary election on April 26. On Thursday, he will visit the Penn State Brandywine campus for a town-hall meeting and the Valley Forge Casino resort in King of Prussia for a GOP reception and dinner. Outside the Original Oyster House, Kasich told supporters about his childhood in McKees Rocks, when he wor-

shipped Pirates player Roberto Clemente and learned “Pittsburgh values” of taking care of one another. “The real strength lies in all of us to be hopeful, to care about somebody else,” Kasich said. “That’s what I learned growing up in Pittsburgh. That’s who I am.” At time of publication, Kasich held 147 delegates in the Republican race but is hopeful that he will win more states in the coming weeks, including Pennsylvania. In order to win the Republican nomination, a candidate must receive 1,237 delegates. Kasich said these types of events will go a long way to secure his success in the “delicate battle” that the Republican candidates are fighting until the convention. While his goal was to connect with voters, Kasich also said he enjoyed being back at the Original Oyster House. “I’d like to talk longer, but I’ve got a fish sandwich to eat,” Kasich said.
students approached him with concerns about upper-campus dining and having to walk down to Market Central to eat at later hours. “As a freshman, I wanted to go somewhere to eat after studying at Hillman [Library] and there weren’t many late-night places open,” Chen said. “Going to Market Central was convenient.” Chen did not know what food options Quick Zone will offer students at latenight hours, but said it is unreasonable to expect all the same fare as the daytime. He said he is unsure of how much the initiative will cost. At the beginning of the meeting, Board members thanked SGB committees and each other for their support and work over the past year and a half. SGB President Nasreen Harun said she is proud of the Board’s progress over three semesters, especially with projects on sexual assault and mental health awareness, and is looking forward to seeing the accomplishments of next year’s Board, which Natalie Dall will lead.
April 20, 2016
“The conversation around [those issues] shows how progressive we are getting in society,” Harun said. “Being able to talk openly about those things has been great and I know Natalie and her Board will carry that on as well.” Harun said the Board’s success came from members’ mutual respect for one another. According to Harun, the group clicked at its first retreat, even after a contentious election. “People truly enjoy being in the office, and they’re in there much more than they need to be,” she said. “People truly went above and beyond.” Harun said her advice to the incoming Board, which the new SGB president will swear in this Thursday, is to remain passionate. “Understand that you have a lot of power to do huge things on campus, but that drive really only comes from if you’re passionate about it. [SGB] is not just something you put on your resumé. You can really do a lot more meaningful stuff,” Harun said. “Get engaged with what the rest of student body is doing. Do more than chase after initiatives.” See SGB on page 4

Bonner, pg. 2 discussed debt with a small group of students. The students wanted answers — ones Bonner simply didn’t have. He listened to them, told them which of their requests he could address and assured them he’s there to help. “The way we change our culture and our environment is to educate each other, enlighten minds, get people to understand,” Bonner said. Bonner meets with frustrated students not to fix all their problems but to be an ally, he said. Even if he can’t answer any of their questions or
promise any solutions, he said, it’s about making sure he’s doing everything he can to help. “When I went to school, we spoke to people one-on-one ... We didn’t have the ability to say things electronically that we didn’t have to be accountable for in person,” Bonner said. “Via electronic text messages and tweets and Yik Yak, you don’t get that.” In his time as dean of students, Bonner plans to focus on issues of sexual assault, diversity, mental illness and individualizing career and academic advising. As he plans a “test run” of a diversity forum, for example, he’s also trying to improve student
advising, working on mental health awareness and prioritizing students’ individualized educations. He prioritizes mentorship in education because, he said, the only reason he’s gotten where he is today is because of his own mentors, who urged him to double major in undergraduate school. “It doesn’t always happen immediately, [but] every now and then someone says, ‘Hey, I consider you a mentor,’ or, ‘You made this different in my life,’” Bonner said. “That’s really the value of what we do.”
SGB, pg. 3 Natalie Dall, SGB’s incoming president and current Board member, said she appreciated how much SGB members respected each other’s opinions. “No matter how much we disagree, we can always be civil immediately after,” she said. “We learned how to set aside those boardroom conversations, making sure we stay professional but lightening the mood outside of the boardroom. It kept us productive. We felt like a family.” Dall said she plans to maintain that healthy collaborative environment with the next Board. “[After] working with cabinet chairs it makes me happy to see how everyone has worked together this year,” she said. “Seeing all that collaboration has made SGB stronger moving forward.” In other news, SGB voted to renew its subscription to the Collegiate Readership Program for fall 2016 until spring 2017. The program offers free New York Times and USA Today articles to Pitt students at newsstands on campus. Allocations Gamma Iota Sigma requested $1,500 for their charter fee. The Board approved the request in full. The Aquaponics Project requested $4,425 to build a sustainable farm in Pittsburgh. The Board approved the request in full. Best Buddies requested $1,943 for a conference at Indiana University. The Board approved $1,942.96 and denied $0.04. Health Occupations Students of America requested $7,964.80 for a conference in Nashville, Tennessee. The Board approved $2,062 and denied $5,002.80.

Sealing low-level offenses provides clean slate Not every mistake leads to a life of crime, but a single crime usually leads to a life of regret. Bipartisan bills introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature this week would automatically seal the criminal records of low-level offenders who don’t commit another offense within a set time period. If successful, the legislation, also known as the Clean Slate initiative, would make Pennsylvania the first state to automate eligible record sealing. In many misdemeanor cases, the consequences do not match the crime. While low-level offenses can seem small, any criminal record can prevent someone from finding employment or accessing higher education. But if offenders serve their sentences and show they aren’t a danger to society, they deserve a second chance — a chance this legislation would provide. Nonviolent misdemeanors would automatically become hidden from the public after the offender is crime-free for 10 years. Summary offenses become sealed after five years without criminal activity. Nothing changes for people who can’t meet those criteria. Those who regularly break the law and show no intention of reforming should continue to be held accountable for whatever damage they have done. Clean Slate draws an important distinction between these repeat offenses and those primarily guilty of poor judgment. Crimes like reckless driving and trespassing don’t necessarily represent the character of people committing them, but they follow people for their entire lives.
pittnews.com
An estimated 70 million people — roughly one-third of all American adults — have a criminal record. A 2009 U.S. Justice Department study found that past criminal convictions, regardless of crime, cut chances of employment in half. That negative effect was twice as large for black job-seekers as for their white counterparts with criminal records. Employers concerned about liability often pass over qualified employees with criminal backgrounds for less competent ones, and workers with arrest records tend to gravitate toward jobs that may not inquire about past arrests. These jobs usually pay less and are a poorer match for their skills, hamstringing their future success. It’s a well-documented reality that the people disproportionately affected by a criminal record are from low-income households, and Clean Slate proactively targets these individuals. The Clean Slate bill expands the scope of rules Gov. Tom Wolf signed into law in February. That bill allowed Pennsylvanians who’ve gone crime-free for seven to 10 years since finishing their sentences to petition courts to seal nonviolent misdemeanor convictions. Community Legal Services Litigation Director Sharon Dietrich told ThinkProgress that thousands of Pennsylvanians qualify to have records sealed but can’t afford an attorney. By automating the process, Pennsylvania will help the people most trapped in criminal pasts and least able to escape. It’s time for low-level criminal sentences to actually end at the judge’s deadline.

Under the covers: The orgasm imperative isn’t so imperative Bridget Montgomery Columnist
The scene: two bodies intertwined, arching in bliss to the tune of gasped moans and satisfied sighs, pleasure building higher and higher and higher. But then, nothing. It’s not exactly the ideal romantic ending, but it’s probably one you’ve experienced before. Whether you or your partner couldn’t seem to reach the Big “O,” I’m sure the anticlimactic finale was a let down for someone. But doctors and sex therapists alike are dispelling the disappointing and often harmful expectations surrounding orgasms. In fact, they’re saying that the expectation to reach orgasm has created a social phenomenon, coined the “orgasmic imperative,” in which sex that does not culminate in an orgasm is viewed as either unsuccessful or not real sex at all. It’s not hard to map how we got to this imperative — current sex education is almost entirely clinical, addressing only the biologi-
April 20, 2016
cal workings and ramifications of sex. As a result, many young people turn to the media or pornography to learn the nuances of sex. There, they are saturated with either scenes of ear-piercing orgasms or just the opposite — awkward, unfulfilling sex because someone couldn’t seem to climax. As a result, they equate reaching orgasm with good sex, while sex without orgasm is a failed attempt and nothing more. While it may seem counterintuitive to say orgasms are inessential, seeing sex as a means to an end can actually endanger self-esteem, a healthy sex life and key communication in a relationship. People can fail to reach orgasm for many different reasons — most of them completely unrelated to the act of sex itself. A sexual experience can be satisfying and healthy with or without an orgasm. According to a 2013 article from Sex and Psychology — a science-based blog run by educator and sex researcher Justin Lehmiller See Montgomery on page 7
6
Montgomery, pg. 6 — many people view sex without orgasm as “dysfunctional,” which can create a sense of anxiety surrounding sex. This negative attitude can go both ways — if it’s your partner who can’t reach orgasm, you may feel insecure and inadequate, wondering if you did something wrong. If you’re the one struggling to climax, you may feel embarrassed or defective. If your partner is struggling to orgasm, know it might not be your fault. Alcohol and recreational drugs, medication, depression, anxiety, hormonal imbalances and stress can all affect a person’s ability to orgasm, regardless of how much they’re enjoying what’s going on. Instead of blaming yourself, try taking these aspects into consideration. Furthermore, talk openly with your partner about your concerns so misunderstandings don’t have the chance to cause more problems. Bottling up insecurities instead of addressing them can lead to deepseated problems of low self-esteem and impaired communication. Turning your worries into an honest conversation can stop problems before they occur, and chances are, you’ll learn that you were feeling insecure about something completely out of your control.
pittnews.com
Likewise, if an orgasm seems to constantly elude you, evaluate possible causes. I know the inability to orgasm can lead to serious anxiety, but the subsequent anxiety and negativity toward sex creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. The more you stress about reaching orgasm, the harder it becomes. This vicious cycle is why so many forms of sex therapy focus on restructuring a person’s attitude toward sex and the importance of orgasms to help a person relax and replace feelings of anxiety with feelings of pleasure. Unfortunately, many people turn to the only way they know how to “fix” their problems — faking it. A 2010 study published in the Journal of Sex Research showed that out of 180 males and 101 females, 28 percent of men and 67 percent of women reported faking an orgasm at least once. Though some of the reasons for faking it seemed noble — for example, when an orgasm seemed unlikely, and they didn’t want to hurt their partner’s feelings — any sort of manipulation or deceit can damage a relationship. While you may think you’re doing your partner a favor, the self-esteem boost is shortlived and can contribute to an unsatisfactory sex life on your end. Fake orgasms don’t ad-
dress the problem, they just reinforce the fantasy that everything is fine. If your inability to orgasm occurs every now and again, accept the fact that not every time is going to be perfect, instead of faking it. But if the lack of orgasm becomes the norm, instead of the exception, that’s where it becomes a problem. This is when you should analyze why you aren’t orgasming, and be completely up-front with your partner. If the inability is unrelated to the sex itself, examine your options, such as seeing a doctor or a therapist, and seek help if you feel you need it. And if it’s simply because your wants and needs aren’t being met, speak up. Admittedly, that’s easier said than done. People with vaginas in particular find it difficult to express their preferences due to social stigma and the expectation to remain sexually passive. A 2012 study conducted by the American Sociological Association showed that on average, people with vaginas who engage in sex with penis-having partners orgasm 11 percent of the time during a hook-up and 67 percent of the time while in a relationship. Most people with vaginas felt the need to please their partner outweighed the importance of their own pleasure. That shouldn’t be the case.
April 20, 2016
Both partners in a sexual encounter should understand that giving and receiving are of equal value, and you shouldn’t compromise your own pleasure for the sake of your partner’s. Though it may be awkward at first to admit you’re not orgasming when you want to, working through the problems will lead to longterm enjoyment and a stronger relationship. But again, that’s where the orgasmic imperative comes into play — if it’s a pattern, that’s one thing. If it’s just the occasional absence, then take it as it is. There may be no reason for the lack of orgasm, and it’s just “one of those times.” And that’s okay. That’s completely normal. You shouldn’t expect that sex will automatically culminate in orgasm every time, and it shouldn’t be a big deal if it occasionally doesn’t. As much as orgasms are the ultimate source of human pleasure, sex doesn’t have to revolve around them. Learn to appreciate the aspects of sex so often overlooked — the expression of individual sexuality, the exploration of intimacy, the sexual enjoyment separate from orgasm. If the rest of the experience was satisfying, don’t let one minor detail ruin the moment for you. Sex is so much more than just “finishing” — it’s a full course meal in all its wonders.

O, CANADA
Matt Canada’s career has brought him from scraping by at Indiana to Pitt’s sidelines, where he’s drawing from a lifetime of coaching advice.
Jeremy Tepper
Senior Staff Writer It was 5:30 in the morning in 1996. Instead of sleeping, a then 23-year-old Canada was hanging a banner for the Indianapolis 500 on a bridge on 16th Street in the city. He was serving as Butler University’s quarterbacks and wide receivers coach at the time, sometimes doing odd-jobs to supplement his $5,000 salary — “part-time money for a fulltime coach,” as he described it. As he and two other men struggled to hang the banner, he started to question his employment decision. “You’re over here trying to tie this Budweiser race sign up, and you’re kind of wondering, ‘what I am doing here,’” Canada said. Through his grogginess, Canada remembered why. Canada has always wanted to teach, even when he was getting offers to play college ball. Before coming to Pitt as offensive coordinator
pittnews.com
and quarterbacks coach under head coach Pat Narduzzi, Canada picked up opportunities wherever he could, snowballing his learning experiences into a coaching style peppered with influences from multiple mentors. “When you’re able to have a job that you enjoy, you’ve got to fight to have that,” Canada said. It’s that passion that enabled him to start off as a student assistant at Indiana in 1992 before eventually working his way up through five other schools to become an offensive coordinator at Pitt. Ken LaRose, Canada’s head coach at Butler, foresaw Canada’s rise early on. “I’m not surprised by all the success he’s had,” LaRose said. “I knew that he’d go a long way.” Working his way up Growing up playing football and basketball, Canada enjoyed the strategic parts of the games; playing professionally wasn’t really his dream.
He played football in high school, and Indiana recruited him, but a knee injury destroyed his chances at playing college football. Still, Canada wasn’t all that upset. “I was an average player. It wasn’t like it was any kind of travesty,” Canada said. He still chose Indiana University, but as a student pursuing a finance career rather than an athlete. By his sophomore year, Canada was thriving in school when Bill Mallory, Indiana’s head football coach, contacted him to join his staff as a student assistant. Mallory remembered recruiting Canada and recalled his aspirations to be a coach. After the maximum number of graduate assistants a coach could have dropped from five to two, he was in need of some extra help. Mallory offered him the position, and Canada accepted. Working with the quarterbacks and running backs was time consuming but valuable — Canada essentially did the work of a graduate assistant.
April 20, 2016
“I was in the press box every game, I was in meetings,” Canada said. “I was able to learn how to coach at a much earlier age, and it really has paid benefits for me.” After graduating from Indiana, Canada got his master’s and worked as a graduate assistant at Indiana for two years, where he got a scholarship to complete his education. Once he was done there, LaRose offered him a job at Butler coaching quarterbacks and wide receivers. For some of his success, Canada can thank his injured knee. “Things worked out for me,” Canada said. “If I would have been a down-the-line quarterback, I would have never learned as much as I did.” At Butler, Canada moved beyond the double duty work of taking classes and working full time for the team. He focused on one thing: developing his coaching style. See Canada on page 9

Canada, pg. 8 He learned to “settle into himself,” advice he got from Ott Hurrle, Butler’s defensive coordinator at the time. A self-described energetic coach, Canada said he tried too hard to fit in with the rest of the coaching staff. “He told me to coach to my personality, don’t be somebody you’re not, because I was trying to make sure I wasn’t doing something different than what they want,” Canada said. Perhaps most importantly, Canada learned how to recruit. Butler only offered partial scholarships at the time, so players had to pay some of their way through college if they chose to attend. When Narduzzi hired Canada, he called him a “strong recruiter and evaluator.” At Butler LaRose said a coach had to be skilled at both, especially when they told prospective Butler parents the tuition cost. “They would get, like, sticker shock,” LaRose said. When Phil Dorn — Butler’s offensive coordinator — left to take another job in 1997, LaRose gave Canada a call and asked him to meet at McDonald’s. Over coffee, the two started talking. “I said, ‘well, you ready to take over the offense?’ And his eyes lit up,’” LaRose said. “He

said, ‘I’m ready, let’s go.’” Butler went 6-4 in Canada’s first year in the position. A typically losing program, it was a win total that Butler did not match again until 2008. Canada’s work attracted Joe Novak’s attention at Northern Illinois, so after just one year as of fensive coordinator at Butler, Canada moved on again. “I knew we were going to lose him at some point because he was young and eager and working his way up,” LaRose said ”You can teach anything” Novak knew Canada, as he was an assistant at Indiana during Canada’s stints as a graduate assistant and a student assistant. Novak needed
a running backs coach — though Canada had never played the position, he thought back to advice he’d picked up at Indiana. “Coach Mallory’s philosophy was that coaches are teachers, and you can teach anything,” Canada said. S o Canada worked the position for two years, until Novak made him the q u a r t e rb a c k s coach. After a year serving that job, he upgraded to the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2003. Canada ran a spread offense with a run focus, as opposed to the pro style he ran at Butler. Leading the way in Canada’s offense was future NFL running back Michael Turner, who

Canada recruited when he was a running backs coach. The team went 10-2, a significant improvement from the 2-9 record Canada’s first year at Northern Illinois. Canada joined a league of experienced coaches. There was Scott Shafer, who went on to be the head coach at Syracuse, Mike Priefer, the special teams coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, and of course, Narduzzi, Pitt’s head coach. Novak, according to Canada, taught him to make a plan and stick to it. “It was a great, great group of coaches,” Canada said. “We were all young and dumb and didn’t know much, but we worked really hard, and Coach Novak really coached us.” Returning to Indiana When Canada had the chance to come full circle and return to Indiana in 2004, he took it. He said the allure of coaching at his alma mater pulled him back. Canada came back to his home turf armed with a new set of experiences. Indiana head coach Bill Lynch fast-tracked him from quarterbacks coach to passing game coordinator to offensive coordinator, which Lynch said was a “no-brainer.”
