SANDERS WILL HOLD SUNDAY RALLY IN SCHENLEY PLAZA

A KILLER SHOW

Brian Gentry and Emily Wolfe

Assistant News Editors The already crowded race for the 2020 Democratic primary is about to get its first “Pitt” stop with a visit from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who will hold a rally this Sunday in Oakland.

The Sanders campaign announced the rally, which is scheduled to take place Sunday at 5 p.m. in Schenley Plaza, on Monday. Sanders is slated to deliver a message focused on trade, health care and labor.

Since entering the presidential race in February, Sanders has held fairly steady at second place in most national polls behind frontrunner and former Vice President Joe Biden. Biden, who in the past week has faced accusations that he inappropriately touched several women, has yet to officially declare a bid for the nomination.

CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS HOST FIRST PRIDE MONTH Neena Hagen

Senior Staff Writer Pitt’s campus is home to many LGBTQ+ organizations — Rainbow Alliance, oSTEM and the Gender and Sexuality LLC, to name a few. But until this year, none of those organizations came together for a large-scale project celebrating Pitt’s LGBTQ+ community as a whole.

Now, in collaboration with PPC, Residence Life and SGB’s nascent Diversity and Inclusion Committee, Pitt presented its first ever Pride lineup — a series of events April 1-20 celebrating the LGBTQ+ community on campus.

SGB’s diversity and inclusion chair Tabitha Barnes said Pitt’s first Pride is all about bringing attention to the Pitt’s LGBTQ+ community.

“It’s about recognition,” Barnes said. “I don’t think a lot of people recognize how big and vibrant the LGBTQ+ community on campus is.”

Besides the typical events put on by Rainbow Alliance every year, like the drag show and Rainbow Voices Poetry Slam, the lineup contains quite a diversity of other offerings, including a History of Pride Discussion, a student fashion show and a screening of the movie “Boy Erased.”

Ryan Ferrante, the resident assistant for Pitt’s Gender and Sexuality LLC, said he’s most excited for Deconstructing the Rainbow, a tabling event where LGBTQ+ students can express their gender and sexual identities using art.

“It’s just a really interesting concept,” Ferrante said. “I think next to all of the discussion-based events we have on the calendar, art is something we can use to get to know each other when we don’t have words to express ourselves.”

Several of those discussion-based events, like History of Pride and a roundtable discussion on April 9 that will allow attendees to explore “experience and identity,” are designed to bring the LG-

CHOOSE TO REUSE: Hiring Brandon Flood is a HOW PITT IS WASTING step in the right direction OUR MONEY from the editorial board

The Pennsylvania Board of Pardons hired a new staff member to lead the office on April 8. The hiree, Brandon Flood, is more than qualified. He has worked as a lobbyist and a policy aide at the Department of General Services, and has also been the executive director of the state House Legislative Black Caucus. And most importantly, he has had first-hand experience serving time behind bars.

Flood was convicted of possession with intent to deliver cocaine and a firearms violation. As a result, he was sentenced to nine years in prison, according to CBS Pittsburgh. Flood plans to draw upon his own experiences within the justice system to streamline pardon systems, speed up the clemency process and raise public awareness. This is a major step forward in normalizing the rehabilitation of inmates and allowing them to participate fully in civil society and benefits the justice system as a whole.

Formerly incarcerated individuals often to struggle to find work upon the end of their sentence. According to Prison Policy, they are unemployed at a rate of about 27%, compared to the 4% national average.

Currently, the state of prison reform in the United States isn’t exactly something to be proud of. The Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates that within nine years of release, about 83% of former prisoners have been arrested again for at least one crime. Norway has the lowest recidivism rate with only about 20% of former prisoners arrested again upon release. Perpetrators of petty crimes and minor offenses deserve support when it

comes to reintegrating themselves back into society.

To start his time on the board, Flood hopes to make the expungement application process more accessible costwise. He feels the $1,500 he had to pay to get his arrest record sealed is discriminatory, since many defendants do not have the money to cover it.

There is more that he can do than just advocate for a smoother expungement process, though. Flood’s new job puts him in a position where he can learn the ropes and input his opinions, though he isn’t in control of the entire department or the only person making decisions. Most of the time, majority approval is needed to to recommend clemency, and the final decision is left up to Gov. Tom Wolf. Other more serious cases that involve life sentences or the death penalty require a unanimous vote to move forward.

His voice is vital to the Pennsylvania justice system, since it brings forward a perspective that people who have never been incarcerated might have trouble understanding.

“It is about empathy,” Flood said on Monday while speaking at a Capital News conference. “And oftentimes, when it comes it to these particular positions of influence, decision-makers do not possess that empathy. With me, you do have someone who is empathetic.”

Flood offers different perspectives to justice reform debates that have historically not included the formerly incarcerated. His position exemplifies to everyone, both the incarcerated and the free, that conviction does not equal the end of your life.

Pitt spends around tens of thousands of dollars per month on disposable plastic and paper containers for the to-go food we get on campus.

That is hundreds of thousands of dollars that could be added to our budget every year. The University has already invested in a reusable container system that, if implemented fully, would eliminate the need for the 235,000 disposable containers Pitt buys each month. These savings could contribute to lower tuition, sufficient student health and counseling resources, better Wi-Fi connection, practice space for our teams and clubs and so on.

Choose to Reuse, a reusable takeout container system implemented in the William Pitt Union food court in spring 2017, has failed to take advantage of these potential savings. The University has built C2R around pricing models and procedures that do not encourage student participation. Right now, a student who wants to use C2R has to pay a 99-cent fee to enter the program and go out of their way to ask for a reusable container every time

they order.

Behavioral economics research shows that people are most likely inclined to do something if it is the default option and if the alternative is disincentivized. C2R could be restructured to increase participation if all students, staff and faculty received free entry into the program and meals were automatically served in reusable containers unless requested otherwise.

The University could also charge a 1 dollar fee for disposable containers to discourage their use. Support for these proposed changes is stated in the Choose to Reuse Initiative (Board Resolution 2019.01), which the Student Government Board will vote on today during their 8:45 p.m. public meeting.

University administrators also need to hear from students directly to understand that we’re done overlooking the hypocrisy in them telling us to achieve ambitious reuse goals while making reusable containers a more expensive and less convenient option.

Students can sign a petition expressing support for a more effective program model.

PERFORMERS DEATH DROP AT RAINBOW ALLIANCE DRAG SHOW

Neena Hagen

Senior Staff Writer As the bright lights shone on the makeshift stage of the William Pitt Union Assembly Room Friday night, a charismatic performer clad in a silver sequin dress danced and swirled her poofy brown wig to the booming music. The hundreds of audience members leapt to their feet to clap along, roaring when the performer landed the drag-show-staple death drop.

“How’s everyone feeling tonight,” Alexa Chapman Killer, the first performer and host, said, grabbing the microphone after her introductory performance.

The crowd, still on their feet, cheered. Some threw dollar bills onto the stage. Pitt’s annual

drag show, hosted by Rainbow Alliance and featuring drag performers from all over the City, was underway.

Drag is a type of art where a man or nonbinary individual dresses in a stereotypically feminine fashion (called drag queens) or a woman or nonbinary individual dresses in a stereotypically masculine fashion (called drag kings) and often lip syncs, dances or puts on some other type of creative performance. The Rainbow Alliance show’s lineup included eight performances from five different drag queens and one king. Most were from the Pittsburgh area and frequented Pittsburgh’s drag scene at bars, but some, including Chapman Killer, were actually students from local universities.

“It’s so great to perform [here],” Chapman Killer, a Point Park University student, said. “Not a lot of universities give drag queens the opportunity to perform in front of a college audience.”

One performer, who donned a hot pink wig and a black and white checkered dress, sauntered her way down the stage while lip syncing to Lady Gaga’s “Venus.” She engaged with the audience, gyrating in front of someone in the front row, who stood up and danced along with her.

To contrast with the upbeat performances, another performer cut a rather gloomy, sinister looking figure. She wore a jet black dress and painted her face with angular black and white bird-like designs. She swayed slowly to the song “Million Years” by Nico Vega. The audience

swayed with her.

To enliven the crowd once again, Chapman Killer invited audience members onstage to do a drag performance of their own. Plucking four “tributes” out of the crowd, she ordered them to stand in a line.

“I hope all of you know the song,” Chapman Killer said with a mischievous grin.

Lady Gaga’s “Applause” rang throughout the room. The volunteers danced down the stage — some half-heartedly, some confidently mouthing the lyrics.

“I’m sorry, you all know what lip-synch means, right?” Chapman Killer said, to groans from the volunteers.

TYLER OAKLEY REFLECTS ON YOUTUBE FAME AND ACTIVISM

Elizabeth Donnelly Staff Writer

Tyler Oakley began his YouTube career in 2007 under the impression that only his friends and family would watch his videos.

Little did he know that 12 years later he would be sitting in the William Pitt Union speaking about his YouTube career, LGBTQ+ activism and life as an internet celebrity to a room full of more than 250 Pitt students — only a small segment of his fanbase.

Oakley is a professional YouTuber with more than 7.5 million subscribers, and his videos cover a range of topics within the LGBTQ+ and pop culture communities. He is a New York Times bestselling author for his book “Binge” and was on the Forbes 30 under 30 list in 2017.

One volunteer did the worm and elicited “ooos” and “ahhhs” from the crowd. Another did a full split on stage.

“I can’t do a split, but when you look like this do you really need to?” Chapman Killer said, flipping her hair back and pointing to the boy’s crop top.

The show also featured a drag king, Ace Phoenix, whom Chapman Killer said introduced her to the drag scene two years ago. Phoenix, unlike the queens, wore a less glamorous outfit with cargo pants and a flannel.

But as his performance went on, he layered up with more elaborate gear. Finishing out the show, dancing to Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” and Lorde’s “Royals,” he shrugged on a rainbow sequin jacket and put on a crown. Phoenix, who has been doing drag for five to six years, said Pitt’s drag show was one to remember, and it helped spread drag to a wider audience.

“As a college kid, I didn’t have the opportunity to see drag on-site, so to be able to bring this to an 18-21 audience in a dry atmosphere where its just a safe space for everyone to see it is just really special,” he said after the show.

Pitt students Lynne Jaworski, a sophomore politics and philosophy major, and Nathan Elia, a sophomore psychology major, said this is the third year in a row they’ve attended Pitt’s drag show, and find it gets better every year.

“The music has been really high energy,” Jaworski said. “The queens’ performances are, I think, the best I’ve seen in my three years coming to the show.”

Elia said said Pitt’s drag shows are his and many other students’ only opportunity to see drag onsite, and he said for that reason he cherishes every experience at Pitt’s drag shows.

“I just love coming out to support local queens,” Elia said. “Drag is a really neat art form. It’s extremely entertaining, and I think everyone should experience it.”

Oakley featured an audience questionand-answer session following a facilitated discussion with Pitt Program Council executive board director Nikita Iyer. Oakley discussed a variety of topics ranging from his favorite YouTubers to collaborate with to how to find balance in life to his small feud with former One Direction member Liam Payne.

Many students and Pitt Program Council members were excited to have him as a guest and see him off-screen.

“We thought Tyler would be a little bit different than what we normally do and that he would be a good choice for tonight,” Jenna Lehan, a sophomore biology major and PPC’s incoming lecture director said. “I think it is interesting to see him not in a YouTube video and to see what he is like [in real life].”

Oakley spoke about his claim to fame on the internet and how he initially was bewildered at non-friends and family viewing his videos.

“I kept making videos to keep in touch and send videos to people I knew so that I wouldn’t have to keep updating people with the same stories at different times.

I think it was just a very natural slow addiction to creating and connecting in a different way that people didn’t really do at the time,” Oakley said. “Nobody was doing YouTube full time — it was just a way to keep in touch and slowly turned into something from there.”

He also commented on experiencing homophobia and hatred for the first time on YouTube due to his place in the LGBTQ+ community . When he was younger he lived in a relatively accepting and supportive community, so when he started

pittnews.com

gaining traction on YouTube, he started experiencing hatred he hadn’t encountered before.

“Starting YouTube was bittersweet because everyone was so sweet and kind to me, but it was also the first time I had experienced anybody being mean. My high school and community were really supportive of me — spoiler alert, I’m gay — so when I would see people being homophobic in the comments, it really opened my eyes,” Oakley said. “I lived in a bubble, in a good way, but also in a way that didn’t allow me to grow and see other queer people’s negative experiences with things like this.”

Many students, including sophomore psychology major Beatrice Fadrigon, were also excited that the University brought in a queer YouTuber and activist.

“This event was nice for me because I watched Tyler when I was younger and it was my first kind of queer representation,” Fadrigon, who is the president-elect of AQUARIUS, Pitt’s queer Asian student alliance, said. “And I just really liked how he was able to mix comedy and his personal life with his activism.”

While Oakley is known for his bright and cheery attitude, he did not shy away from the more pressing themes brought up during this evening. When one audience member submitted a question about how to be a good ally to LGBTQ+ peers, Oakley offered his best advice.

“You need to listen more than you talk.

Everyone around you has had experiences that you can help to amplify. Do your research first. Don’t come out of the gates thinking you’re the number-one spokesperson for a certain topic,” Oakley said.

“Being an ally is something you have to prove everyday. It’s not a label you get once and then can just keep without continu-

April 9, 2019

ously speaking up.”

Oakley also spoke about how to maintain a balance between one’s career, personal life and creative endeavors.

“I am not good at that. It is really challenging at times because with my job a lot of what is personal becomes my content.

There is a blurred line between what is for me and what I make,” Oakley said. “Over the years I’ve gotten a lot better at it, I feel like I used to be more of an open book but now I realize that some things can just be for me. To make sure there are pockets of your life that are just for you, and not performative, is really important.”

Tara Kim, a sophomore biology major, has been a longtime fan of Oakley, so when the opportunity to see him in real life presented itself, she took full advantage.

“I’ve always watched Tyler Oakley, especially in middle school, so my 13-yearold self is internally screaming,” said Kim. “He was always just an inspiration and always put a smile on my face every time I watched his videos and I just love how creative he is, how passionate he is about everything and how he just doesn’t care and puts whatever he wants out on the internet, which I think is amazing.”

When it comes to things like hate comments or internet trolls, Oakley likes to take a positive reinforcement approach — he disregards the negativity and focuses on the kindness and love he receives from fans.

“I think it was really important that the University hosted this and allowed a space for more queer representation,” Fadrigon said. “I think it’s cool that in the fall they had Antoni, who is queer, and now they’ve had Tyler, who is queer. I think if we could diversify a bit from the white gays, that would be good, but representation like this is important.”

WILSON-FRAME REPS PITT IN INAUGURAL 3X3U TOURNEY Nick Carlisano Staff Writer

While the NCAA Tournament and NBA regular season have been dominating headlines throughout March and into April, there was plenty more going on in the world of basketball that went under the radar of the average sports fan — including the inaugural 3X3U National Championship.

In this year’s event, teams from all 32 conferences battled it out inside the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, this past weekend for a chance to win $150,000.

The tournament pits teams of four players, all from the same conference, against teams from other conferences in half-court, pick-up style fashion. All players involved are those that have just finished their last season of eligibility, giving them a final shot at glory and a previously illicit cash prize.

The rules of 3X3U are pretty simple. A shot inside the arc is one point and a basket from beyond is worth two. Teams play three on three with one substitute, and the first to score 21 points wins. The shot clock is 12 seconds, and the game clock 10 minutes if neither team gets to 21 by then. A tie at the end of regulation produces a sudden death, first-to-two-points overtime. Referees call fouls, with the number of free throws awarded in accordance with the point system. A missed shot, steal or block requires a team to take the ball back beyond the arc.

Former Panther Jared Wilson-Frame represented Pitt for the ACC squad, along with Anthony Lawrence from Miami and Marcquise Reed and Elijah Thomas of Clemson.

The conference teams who participate in the tournament are divided into pools. The ACC was able to sweep pool play, notching impressive wins over teams from the Patriot League, MEAC and Mountain West Conference.

In the event opener against Mountain West, Wilson-Frame, fresh off a stellar se-

nior season where he was Pitt’s second leading scorer at 12.7 points per game, continued to carry the load offensively. The former Panther poured in 10 of the team’s 22 points, with four of his six field goals from deep.

And in what appeared to be a slight to the NCAA’s rules against paying players, the ACC players celebrated a 22-15 victory by throwing stacks of money in the air or “making it rain in style” as the tournament’s Twitter account described.

will the Big Ten to victory, while the PAC12 and SEC also fell.

Despite a strong effort, the ACC also fell at the hands of the Southland Conference.

In the loss, Miami’s Lawrence and Thomas of Clemson both contributed seven points. Wilson-Frame was unable to continue his hot shooting in the tournament. He missed all three of his two-point attempts and scored only one point.

The Southland Conference was carried

After two days of pool play, the field was cut in half and a single elimination bracket began. Wilson-Frame, his ACC teammates and their 3-0 record made the cut easily.

They joined fellow Power conference teams from the Big Ten, SEC and Pac 12, as well as some smaller conferences like the Colonial and Big Sky. Just as in March Madness, conference pedigree and big name players didn’t always equate to success in the final day of the 3X3U. Wisconsin star Ethan Happ couldn’t

who tallied 12 of his team’s 21 points.

While most of the first playoff games were tight, the Colonial Conference flexed their muscles by blowing out the Southern Conference team 21-13, protecting their unblemished record.

Teams from the Colonial, American, WCC and MAAC were also still undefeated entering the second round of the playoffs.

After the round of 16, eight teams remained standing for a shot at the money: the Southland, WCC, American, NEC, MAAC, MAC, Colonial and Conference USA. The four undefeated teams quickly thinned to two in second-round play. The

April 9, 2019

MAC team dealt the MAAC its first loss behind a solid 11 points from Jaylin Walker, a representative of Kent State.

The American squad was knocked out by the NEC in a 21-20 nailbiter as each NEC player contributed at least two points.

The Colonial conference continued its winning ways against C-USA, led by potential NBA prospect and former Hofstra star Justin Wright-Foreman who scored 11 points.

The West Coast and Colonial conferences simply refused to lose. After beating the Southland conference in their secondround game, the WCC handled the NEC 21-15 and the Colonial squad squeaked out a win over the MAC. Wright-Foreman again reached double figures with 10 points, including three makes from deep.

Roberto Gallinat, from Pacific University, put up a tournament-high 12 points in the win for the WCC. And then there were two. While the WCC had looked formidable, they were no match for Wright-Foreman and the Colonial. He poured in 10 once more, while Charleston teammate Jarrell Brantley added eight himself to fuel the 21-13 victory.

The Colonial team, made up of four first team All-Conference players were crowned champions of the 2019 3X3U tournament in front of about 2,000 spectators. In addition to the thousands who visited the Mall of America to watch the event, Twitter live stream numbers were around seven million.

Each victor earned $1,000 for their three pool play wins, and a combined $103,000 to split for coming out on top. The Colonial team won every game they played, outscoring opponents by a total of 43 points.

Hofstra’s Wright-Foreman was named MVP of the tournament after pouring in 60 points in seven games.

As champions, the Colonial team has earned the right to compete in the 2019 USA Basketball 3x3 Open National Championship in Las Vegas next month.
