Mohamed’s duties as Title IX coordinator. Unlike Mohamed and Connelly, Pope will be the first person to assume the role full-time, without holding any other positions on campus.

Following an injury against Youngstown State University on Saturday, Pitt junior running back James Conner will miss the remainder of the season because of a torn MCL in his right knee, head coach Pat Narduzzi announced at his weekly press conference on Monday. Narduzzi said while the severity of the injury wasn’t immediately apparent, a medical examination on Sunday revealed damage. “We thought he was okay. He was jumping around and bringing a lot of enthusiasm, and said, ‘Coach, I’m fine,’” Narduzzi said. “But after further evaluation, doctors looked at him on Sunday. We’ll probably lose him for the entire season with an MCL.” Narduzzi later confirmed the in-

After the amount of reported rape on Pitt’s campus doubled between 2013 and 2014, Pitt hired its first full-time Title IX coordinator to assess the rising numbers.

The University announced it hired Catherine Pope to fill the role in a release Sept. 2. Carol Mohamed, former director of diversity and inclusion, held the position of Title IX coordinator last year. After Mohamed retired in June, Pamela Connelly, associate vice chancellor of diversity and inclusion, filled

News Title IX, pg. 1

Connelly said the University decided to make the Title IX coordinator a fulltime position because of public scrutiny and a national increase in the incidence rate of sexual misconduct. These statistics, according to Connelly, have been “really concerning to the University.” The most recent edition of Pitt’s annual Security and Fire Safety Report, “For Safety’s Sake,” shows that in 2011, there were five reported rapes on campus property. In 2014, that number increased to 20, which doubles the 10 reported incidents of rape in 2013. Pope said she couldn’t comment on these specific findings yet because she just got to Pitt, but said she has no reason to find the numbers unusual. She said the numbers probably do not point to an actual increase in rape. Instead, the findings are more likely reflective of increased awareness about sexual misconduct. Along with interpreting statistics like these, Pope said she will also examine the pending results of the Campus Climate Survey. The University asked all students to respond to survey questions about the frequency of sexual assault on campus in April 2015. National research firm Westat plans to release the results of the survey in the fall. Pope’s duties are not limited to examining student data. She will also ensure the University is compliant with Title IX regulations. Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sexual discrimination at federally-funded institutions, like universities. “As Title IX coordinator, Katie Pope will design and implement strategic iniSee Title IX on page 4

Biden: man of steel

Marchers gather outside the United Steelworkers Building to hear Joe Biden speak. Amy Beaudine STAFF WRITER

As Vice President Joe Biden left a Downtown stage at the Pittsburgh Labor Day Parade, he stopped to acknowledge Bernie Sanders’ supporters in the crowd, giving two thumbs up. Biden didn’t officially voice his support for Sanders, but spoke to parade attendees about the importance of the steel industry and his views on the rising cost of college tuition — a topic Sanders is known for supporting. Following Biden’s speech at 10 a.m. on Monday in front of the Greyhound bus station, the parade began at the corner of Liberty Avenue and 11th Street. Thousands of marchers led the parade through Downtown and ended outside of the United Steelworkers Building around noon. Many attendees hoped Biden would announce the start of a presi-

dential campaign at the event. Instead, Biden took the opportunity to talk about Pittsburgh steelworkers and his passion for strengthening the middle class. “Build labor, we build America,” Biden said to the receptive crowd gathered around the front of the stage. As the parade marched onward, participants shouted “Get up, get down, Pittsburgh is a union town,” and “What do we do when worker’s rights are under attack? Fight back.” Skip Longdon, a unit president of United Steelworkers in Washington, has been with the union for 20 years. Longdon attended the parade to show his support to fellow steelworkers, and to stand firm against Allegheny Technologies Incorporated, which is currently in gridlock with the United

Steelworkers over ongoing contract negotiations about pay and healthcare benefits. Jaimee Grinage, a union safety representative at Local 2227 United Steelworkers, said the union is helping maintain her middle class status and send her daughter to college. With her two young children and husband in tow, Grinage and her family marched and chanted with the crowd. “The [anti-union supporters] want to criminalize us, but we’re just fighting for our jobs,” Grinage said. Biden also spoke fervently about the increasing wealth gap in America. According to a 2013 Pew Research Center analysis, the median income of the upper class is seven times greater See Biden on page 4

Title IX, pg. 2 tiatives aimed at reinforcing the University’s commitment to fostering a safe, healthy and respectful environment for all students, faculty and staff,” Connelly said in a release announcing the new hire. Before starting at Pitt, Pope was the Title IX coordinator at Allegheny College in 2014 and at Purdue University for nine years beginning in 2006. Pope has also served as executive director of the Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support, an agency for domestic violence and sexual assault outreach located in Ames, Iowa. A full-time Title IX coordinator with an extensive background, Connelly said, will be able to zoom out on the situation country-wide. “[The coordinator] is someone who can look at things globally, Universitywide,” Connelly said. Pope said the increasing numbers of

reported sexual assault at Pitt is part of a national trend. According to data from the Department of Education, between 2008 and 2012, the national number of reported “forcible rapes” increased by 49 percent on college campuses. Pope intends to advocate for survivors and students by extending her reach to several different facets of Pitt’s campus. This will include the athletics department, Residence Life, student organizations and faculty. “I’ve been meeting people who are doing this work all across campus,” Pope said. Connelly and Pope have been benchmarking Pitt’s Title IX program against other universities’ Title IX policies, like the University of North Carolina. Pope said in the end, she will customize all her initiatives to Pitt.

Biden, pg. 2 than the median income of the middle class — the highest it has ever been. Biden said instead of investing in tax cuts for the wealthy, America could save billions by providing a free community college education for students in good academic standing. White House officials estimate the total cost for this would be $6 billion, which is about $4 billion less than tax cuts. This plan is not quite the same as Sanders’ goal to eliminate undergraduate tuition at four-year public colleges and universities, but Sanders’ Pittsburgh supporters rallied for Biden anyway. Robert Beckwith, a member of the organization Pittsburghers for Bernie, came to the parade hoping to find blue collar support. Beckwith stood on the side of the parade, carrying a sign saying “BERNIE SANDERS,” his shirt adorned with pins in support of the candidate.

“[The parade] is an opportunity to reach people who can connect to Bernie, because laborers can relate to his love for the workers of America,” Beckwith said. Pitt students who related to workers as well traveled downtown to commemorate the occasion. Alyssa Lieberman, a Pitt junior politics and philosophy major, president of Pitt’s Americans for an Informed Democracy and also a columnist for The Pitt News, attended the parade with two other members from her organization and marched with United Steelworkers. In the past, AID has worked to cut campus ties with sweatshops and support campus workers as they negotiate their contracts. The club attends several rallies each year to support their causes, and this one was no exception. “Labor rights are really important to me, and Labor Day should be about celebrating these rights and looking to see what else we have to do,” Lieberman said.

The ’90s are back, and so is nonSchools should address conformist fashion student trauma from the editorial board

The reasons behind a student’s poor performance in school tend to extend far beyond the classroom — they are usually found in the home. Emotional trauma caused by a poor home life affects countless students across the country — something school districts in Allegheny County, like Mt. Lebanon and Highlands School District, have begun to recognize. These schools are now training their teachers to “identify students who may be showing signs of trauma, such as acting out, withdrawing or displaying poor hygiene,” and to provide said students with “appropriate supports such as counseling or access to resources such as food, clothing or school supplies,” the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Monday. The programs are attempting to facilitate a supportive learning environment where students can feel safe, separate themselves from the pressures of home and learn to manage their trauma in a secure zone. As John O’Connell, director of student support at Pittsburgh Public Schools told the Postpittnews.com

Gazette, “Our business is to get to the root of the problem and how it affects them in the classroom.” The idea is to look into the child’s home life, and his or her emotional state, when considering things like test performance, behavior and retention. The emphasis these schools are now placing on trauma is an essential strategy in improving education, simply because trauma can directly affect a student’s performance in the classroom. Situations like domestic violence, drug abuse, sexual abuse, poverty and death or illness in the family can all lead to lower test scores and a lack of motivation in class. Specifically, trauma causes anxiety that can affect the brain development of children, reducing their core neurological functions like memory, language and ability to learn, according to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network.

The most flamboyantly awkward era of fashion has made a comeback. Yes, fashion retailers are recycling the whimsy of our beloved ’90s — the decade we spent in a hodgepodge of bold primary colors, eccentric patterns and a plethora of plaid and grunge galore — into our primitive modern style. Until recently, however, the fashion of the 2000s has been gaunt — consisting of single-colored basics, patterns that err on the side of caution and watered-down

colors that act too easy on the retinas. These styles are seen not only at fashion retailers, but on the runway and on celebrities such as Kanye West at the Video Music Awards this year, where he wore single-colored sweats. The drab styles of the 2000s needed a revamping. Thankfully, the recent return of ’90s style in fashion is helping to do it, as the vivaciousness of the decade has taken our modern outfits from repetitive and conservative back to bold and self-expressive. A phenomenon found

in the original purpose of ’90s fashion — to counter mainstream consumer culture and to bring out the individuality of a younger generation eager to challenge the traditional concepts and norms of their parents — has been lost in the fashion world over the past decade. To be completely honest, though, I originally denied my involvement — which was forced upon me by my mother, who dressed me in the gawky wardrobe the ’90s touted. The marks of See Safi on page 6

Safi, pg. 5 my childhood were jelly shoes and a particular corduroy shirt with different-colored sleeves — outfits that, had I worn anything like them a year ago, would’ve had me beheaded at the fashion guillotine. But after spending most of my life in the fashionably lethargic 2000s, I find myself with a better appreciation of the motivations behind ’90s couture. Before I finally threw in the towel and bought a stretchy choker and a Wu Tang Clan shirt — to be fair, Wu Tang is forever — my wardrobe was littered with lackadaisical basics that hindered my creative side. Singlecolored tops with minimal embellishment, shoes that all came in neutral tones and dresses and skirts that were always cotton dominated my closet.

pittnews.com

Unlike my modern clothing, my new “Fresh Prince”-esque flamboyant clothes allowed everything from hot pink to studded dog collars, both of which fashion has considered tacky and outdated for most of the last decade. This style was orignally influenced by the growing grunge music scene. Grunge advocated for a divorce from the “mainstream,” and people like Kurt Cobain, Nirvana’s frontman, led the charge. Grunge flourished in the ’90s, adopting against-the-grain styles to aid in the journey of self-expression the music itself facilitated. While the ’90s are known for the birth of grunge, it’s also the decade that gave birth to “casual chic,” where styles like high-waisted jeans, crop tops, slouchy sweaters and hoodies became popular. This style is apparent in television shows like “Boy Meets World,” which introduced oversized button-down

shirts and baggy sweaters. Although not as outwardly expressive as the punk scene’s style, the unkempt and relaxed style was a major difference from the high-maintenance styles that had been popular until the ’80s, when everything was fitted and tidy — a product of a culture that highly valued conservatism in regard to wardrobe. What also came with this “casual chic” style was patterns and colors that were fun and playful, in contrast to today’s fashion, which is stripped to its minimal essentials and rarely overdone, such as the popular nonpattern leggings for women and simplistic Ralph Lauren polos for men. To get a better idea of the purpose behind the ’90s fashion comeback, I spoke with some its participants. Richard Zorn, a sophomore philosophy major at Pitt who enjoys wearing ’90s-styled clothing, theo-

rized, “The ’90s revival is a direct consequence of the more modern minimalist direction mainstream fashion has taken.” Despite the post-2010 fashion developments that seem to prefer safety and minimal fashion risk-taking, the style of the ’90s seems to be finding its way in every fashion retail store again. Abercrombie and Fitch, commonly known for its preppier merchandise, has adopted the recent ’90s revival with leather skirts, crop tops, destroyed denim boyfriend jeans and turtlenecks for fall 2015. Unconventional clothing stores like Urban Outfitters have also started to embrace this ’90s revival, offering an endless array of specifically grunge wardrobe with plaid skirts, T-shirt dresses, clunky boots and the staple of ’90s clothing — flannel.

Culture Fifty years: ‘Highway 61’ Ian Flanagan Staff Writer

Bob Dylan’s lasting impact in American pop culture used to astound me as a younger person. I tried to grasp how people thought of the nasally-voiced songwriter, on a scale of popularity or critical regard, as on par with The Beatles. But just as The Beatles will live forever in the mind of music, so will Dylan on different terms — most notably for his masterstroke, Highway 61 Revisited, which turned 50 last week. When you listen to his devastating words and realize the civil rights context of the album’s time is eerily similar to today, the genius of Dylan’s work — especially five decades removed — reveals itself. Highway 61 Revisited was Dylan’s most uncompromising expression, capturing a heavier and more electric sound with a live band that came to define the progression of popular music in its rapid evolution during the mid to late ’60s. In stark contrast to the strictly folk formula of his earlier career, this departure to a more popular sound would appear to die-hard fans as more of a commercial move and less of a grand artistic statement. The amplified sound, combined with his cryptic, hauntingly surreal lyrics, however, would elevate him from a sell-out, folk-scene pariah to an original, frighteningly compelpittnews.com

ling poet and the generation’s most inscrutable rock star. Dylan remains one of the alltime greats of songwriting, mostly because of the mystery that surrounded his persona while recording Highway. As a young folk singer, his tact in terms of topical issues of

cerns — whether it be world issues or Dylan’s own “thought-dreams” — and his contributions during his youth are timeless in their urgency for music to explore more complex shapes and modes. While his early folk albums remain some of his best, his slow shift to an aggressive, fully instrumented sound both made him a controversial figure in the eye of the public and consequently produced the works that would come to cement his legacy. Dylan cautiously tested the waters of his sonic shift. After his fourth album, which abandoned the strict protest-song focus of his lyrics, in early 1965 he released Bringing It All Back Home, the first in his famous electric tril-

Some of his longest lasting classics were the result, like “Subterranean Homesick Blues” and “Mr. Tambourine Man.” Sandwiched between this first departure and the masterful southern-fried double album Blonde on Blonde, Highway 61 Revisited continues to baffle and enthrall with its lyrical complexity and musical vigor.

High school dropout zac efron stars in unremarkable ‘We are your friends’

Jack Skully Staff Writer

We Are Your Friends

Starring: Zac Efron, Wes Bentley and Emily Ratajkowski It doesn’t take much reflection after watching “We Are Your Friends” to realize that Zac Efron’s career probably won’t be the next “McCopittnews.com

naissance.” Even the career of co-star Wes Bentley — a well-documented former heroin user — has progressed better. Fans of Bentley’s transfixing performance as Ricky Fitts in 1999’s “American Beauty” will recognize his captivating screen presence and understated sex appeal at work as an aging Los Angeles DJ legend named James Reed. James acts as a sensei to the young, aspiring DJ Cole Carter, played by perpetual sex-appeal-eclipsor Efron, who then must choose between his relationship with James’ girlfriend, Sophie, or reaching for his dream job as an Electronic Dance Music DJ. That might be the main

premise of “We Are Your Friends,” but it’s hard to say, exactly. Director Max Joseph, co-host of MTV’s “Catfish,” leaves a pile of loose ends untouched in his directorial debut. One of the most noticeable oversights is Sophie and Cole’s secret romance. Played by “Blurred Lines” music video star Emily Ratajkowski, Sophie resembles a near-perfect metaphor of both the movie and the increasingly typecasted Efron — classically beautiful, but lacking in genuine originality. Sophie relies on her wealthy older boyfriend to pay the bills until Cole arrives, successfully tempting her to abandon James for their budding

love. Though she does leave James, the movie maddeningly never offers any closure on their relationship. Then there are Cole’s friends, who work together as struggling club promoters and later as co-conspirators in some kind of unspecified mortgage scam orchestrated by a seedy Italian businessman. They swear it off, however, after one of the boys, Squirrel (Alex Shaffer), dies in what is alluded to be a drug overdose following their first house party.

Notebook: Narduzzi reflects on debut Jeremy Tepper

Senior Staff Writer

Coming off of a close 45-37 first week victory over Youngstown State University, Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi had plenty to talk about in his weekly press conference. While the main takeaway was running back James Conner’s season-ending knee injury, Narduzzi tackled plenty of other topics on Monday. Looking back at Youngstown State After watching the game from the sidelines on Saturday, Narduzzi had a chance to rewatch the Panthers’ win over Youngstown State on film. Despite acknowledging some inpittnews.com

consistencies, particularly regarding turnovers and field position, Narduzzi restated what he said following the game: the win is what matters. “We’re happy to be 1-0,” Narduzzi said. “Our kids did a heck of job finishing things off. It’s not really how you start but how you finish.” Specifically, on the offensive end, Narduzzi was pleased with how his running game performed, compiling 325 total yards. Redshirt freshman Qadree Ollison led the unit with 207 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. However, Narduzzi said if the team had hit the right blocks and

was more effective on outside runs, the backfield could have performed even better. “It was a heck of a game on the ground, but we could have had a lot more,” Narduzzi said. As a whole, the offense accumulated 458 yards, with much of that total coming on large gains. “We had 11 explosive gains,” Narduzzi said. “We know we have probably an 85 percent chance of winning if we have eight or more and we had 11.” Not everything was perfect on offense, though.

Conner, pg. 1 jury was a tear. The injury occurred with 10:54 remaining in the second quarter, when Penguins cornerback Kenneth Durden brought Conner down from behind on a 9-yard run. Conner jogged to the sideline with a hurried limp and a quick grimace and would not see the field again. Conner remained on the sideline in pads during the remainder of the first half as team trainers examined him. He returned to the sideline for the second half in street clothes. Pitt confirmed Conner will undergo surgery for the injury, which will end the star running back’s season. Narduzzi said the surgery would “probably” take place sometime this week. “I greatly appreciate everyone’s support and well wishes,” Conner said via a school release. “This is a temporary setback and I’m going to work even harder to bounce back. Even though I won’t be able to play this season, I’m going to be right beside my teammates and help them every way I can to have a great season.” Conner is the reigning 2014 ACC Player of the Year after amassing 1,765 yards and a school recordbreaking 26 touchdowns last season.

Maxwell Football Club presents annually to the nation’s best football players. While average recovery time for a torn MCL is typically around six weeks according to the University of California- San Francisco, doctors and Conner determined surgery was the best course of action for his specific injury, effectively ending his season. “Again, I’m not a doctor, there are different ways to deal with it,” Nar-

duzzi said. “But when you look at it, for his safety, for his health, the doctors made that call, and ultimately James made that call.” The Panthers have already lost junior running back Rachid Ibrahim for the season to a torn Achilles tendon suffered in training camp. The Panthers’ remaining backfield options are sophomore Chris James, redshirt freshman Qadree Ollison and freshman Darrin Hall. Conner’s family also spoke about

the injury, issuing a statement. “As you all might imagine, the news that James has suffered a season-ending knee injury has left us with very heavy hearts,” the statement read. “James had such high hopes for this season, but we feel very confident that this is just a small setback for James. He will handle his recovery and rehabilitation with the same determination and force that he has displayed on the field.”
