partnered with other Pitt organizations to host nine events this month including a movie screening, a town hall and a roundtable discussion. “Why It Matters” Whiteboard Campaign Thursday, Oct. 3 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. WPU Driveway SGB aims to spread the word about selfcare with images of students declaring what mental health means to them. Its first event will pose questions to students surrounding mental health, which they can then answer on whiteboards and post to their social media accounts with the hashtag #PittTalksAboutIt. In previous years, students have answered questions such as “What does mental health mean to you?” “Why do you talk about mental health?” and “How do you practice self care?” as well as others that the students feel are im-

portant, Macadangdang said. According to Macadangdang, this event is intended to normalize conversation surrounding mental health issues. Too often, students don’t talk about these issues because of the stigma surrounding them, he said. But Macadangdang hopes that these events will bolster conversation and make people more aware that they are not alone. “This is an opportunity for students who feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and posting it on social media,” Macadangdang said. “To make their friends and family or whoever follows them on social media know about this month.” Movie Screening of “It’s Kind Of A Funny Story” Monday, Oct. 7 8 p.m. – 10 p.m. Nordy’s Place This will be a screening of the film “It’s Kind of a Funny Story,” which stars Keir Gilchrist, Zach Galifianakis and Emma Roberts.
The film, based on an award-winning young adult book by Ned Vizzini, details the story of a 16-year-old boy in a psychiatric hospital. Students are welcome to stay for a discussion after the film. Snacks will be provided for those in attendance. SGB Mental Health Town Hall Tuesday, Oct. 8 8:45 p.m. – 10 p.m. Nordy’s Place In place of its normal public meeting, SGB is holding a Tuesday night town hall that invites Pitt students to pose questions about Pitt’s mental health services to representatives from the University Counseling Center. The panel will consist of Jay Darr, director of the counseling center, Marian Vanek, executive director of the wellness center, and Michele Welker, clinician at the counseling center and Sexual Harassment and Assault Resource Education coordinator. This event is designed to help Pitt students receive more information on the mental health

Self-Care Fair Wednesday, Oct. 9 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. WPU Bigelow Patio and Lawn According to Duong, the Self-Care Fair is SGB’s way of showcasing Pitt organizations that are centered on mental health. “It’s a way to provide students with resources that they may not have heard of,” Duong said. Wellness organizations represented at the event will include the Office of SHARE, Pitt Student Health Advisory Board, Pitt Active Minds and the wellness center. Student life organizations tabling at the event will be the Resident Student Association and Student Athlete Advisory Committee.

opportunity to work in smaller groups and have more detailed conversations on mental health. The panelists for the night include Sagnika Chanda, a gender, sexuality and women’s studies doctoral candidate at Pitt, Toya Jones, a lecturer in Pitt’s school of social work, Jenea Lyles, president of the Black Action Society, and Sarah McKee, president of the Multiracial Student Association. Each panelist will be stationed at their own table, where students can visit and talk about specific issues in small groups. “What is Therapy” Workshop Wednesday, Oct. 16 8 p.m. – 9 p.m.
October 3, 2019
WPU Room 548 This event, presented by Pitt Active Minds, is focused on providing students with more information on how to seek therapy. Julia Lam, a senior at Pitt and president of Pitt Active Minds, has been developing this event for the past year. The event will feature a presentation from Bobbi Jo Witham, a clinician at the University Counseling Center. She will be providing information on getting help for students that have never been to therapy as well as providing extra resources for those who have been to therapy, but are looking for more information. The presentation will be followed by peerrun workshops where students are given a chance to talk about their experiences getting help through therapy or other methods. Lam said that she hopes that this event will make students more aware of the ways in which they can seek help on and off campus. “We want to destigmatize mental health and spread stories of recovery within the student body,” Lam said. Stories Untold: An Art Exhibit on Mental Health and Creative Opening Reception Monday, Oct. 21 - 24 8:30 p.m. – 10 p.m. WPU Lower Lounge This event will be an art showcase featuring the work of Pitt students, as well as artists across the City of Pittsburgh. All of the art in the showcase will center on the topic of mental illness. Any student that would like to submit a piece of work can email Macadangdang at macadangdang@pitt.edu by Oct. 14. “All of the artists get the opportunity to show how they depict different mental health issues,” Duong said. SGB will be hosting the reception on the opening night of the gallery, which will be displayed for four days in the William Pitt Union. Mental Health Vigil Thursday, Oct. 24 8 p.m. – 10 p.m. WPU Bigelow Patio The last SGB-sponsored event for Mental Health Awareness Month is intended to give both students and faculty a louder voice on the issue of mental health, Duong said. Students and faculty will have the opportunity to share their personal experiences with mental illness and what that has meant to them. The event will also feature a speech from Senior Vice Chancellor Kathy Humphrey. “It is a very intimate and very moving event, hearing other peoples’ stories, and hearing how they have gotten better and have gotten to where they are today,” Duong said.

DEALING WITH INFORMATION OVERLOAD Julia Kreutzer
Senior Staff Columnist One of my least favorite places to visit is Times Square in New York City. Growing up, I adored hopping on the two-hour train to see a Broadway show or dine in some of the country’s most iconic restaurants. But on my recent trips, I’ve found that there is nowhere to breathe. That single square mile is flooded with hundreds of thousands of people, and that’s just on an average Tuesday afternoon. The stores are too crowded, the wait times are too long and walking on the sidewalk is too much like a stampede of wild horses. While I no longer venture to Times Square, I find that this same feeling of inescapable chaos has permeated so many other parts of my life. We have the ability to connect with even more people than those in Times Square by simply turning on our cell phones. Every day, we are bombarded with incessant tweets, texts, news articles and other programming, and much like when walking around the Big Apple, we have little room to breathe. On a societal level, we are facing extreme “information overload,” a term popularized by author and futurist Alvin Toffler in his 1970 book “Future Shock.” According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the term refers to “a situation in which you receive too much information at one time and cannot think about it in a clear way.” It has massive consequences, on both micro and macro levels, and in order to address rampant political division, environmental crises and other perils plaguing our world, we must first consider the ways in which we consume and respond to information. Toffler explains information overload through the example of World War II soldiers, many of whom actually fell asleep on the battlefield as machine guns rapidly fired bullets their way. It was not due to a lack of sleep or other physical conditions, but the incessant stimuli actually overwhelmed some men so much, their bodies saw sleep as the only natural response. For those who remained awake, the incredible amount of overpowering stress triggered hypersensitivity, causing many to become easily angered and extremely anxious or
pittnews.com
even apathetic. Off the battlefield, we see parallels between the manner in which soldiers responded to stress and the ways in which we process news around us. Like bullets, headlines are flying at us at higher rates than ever before, in more ways than ever before. Everywhere we turn, we face the inescapable demand to absorb information. Each morning, I wake up to a notification from The New York Times with the day’s “top stories,” and there are usually upwards of five or six full length articles. My Twitter notifications alert me about impeachment
never stop and have increasingly metamorphosed from ways to connect with loved ones to additional spaces in which news is shared and absorbed. Daniel Levitin, an author and psychologist at McGill University, claims that in general, there is more information from the last decade than in all of history prior. “I’ve read estimates there were 30 exabytes of information 10 years ago and today, there’s 300 exabytes [one billion gigabytes] of information,” he said. This trend seems harmless, even positive. There Promiti Debi | staff illustrator
hearings, environmental crises, celebrity scandals and other situations that bring me immense stress. According to The Atlantic, four of the top news organizations — The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Buzzfeed — combine for a total of about 1,192 stories and videos published each day. That’s nearly 1,200 tidbits of info that, in order to be civically engaged and in-the-know citizens, we’re expected to navigate. As I’m writing this, more than 200 billion tweets have been sent this year. Facebook has over 2.41 billion monthly active users, uploading about 300 million photos per day. A 2015 study from the Pew Research Center found that the number of people using Facebook and Twitter as news sources has increased. Our social networking platforms
are more ways than ever to stay in touch with the important things happening in our world — and there are a lot of important things. The problem is not increased access to information, but a decrease in ways we can take a break from it. Our brains are designed to multitask. We can handle three, maybe even four stimuli at once. But in order to sift through immense amounts of information, we are asking ourselves to process much more than that. According to a 2002 brief from Joseph Ruff of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, information overload has resulted in Information Fatigue Syndrome, a term coined by mental health practitioners to describe poor concentration, pervasive hostility, trance-like states brought on by ha-
October 3, 2019
bituation — in which the brain temporarily shuts down from over stimulation — and hurry sickness, the belief that one must keep up with the pace of time. In a sample of business managers, they found that 33% felt the need to be constantly informed resulted in ill health, 66% said that information overload increased hostility with their coworkers and made work less rewarding and 62% reported that it has adverse effects on their social and personal relationships. Information overload impacts more of us than just those diagnosed with IFS, as everyday people see this phenomenon reaping havoc on their relationships, careers and even their physical health. It is imperative that we learn to find a balance between being engaged with the world around us and avoiding IFS. And surprisingly, doing this is a lot more simple than you may think. Every night, take two minutes to do what productivity specialist David Allen calls a “brain dump.” Before getting to bed, write down all the thoughts still whirling around in your mind. Dump these news stories you can’t forget about and other pestering thoughts in a journal and leave them behind. Make room for new thoughts or for relaxation. Next, ditch the phone when its not time to be productive. Admittedly, this one is hard and is something I continue to struggle with. Research shows that having your phone, a device used for productivity and engagement, in your place of rest and respite has negative effects on your mental health and sleep patterns. When it’s time to hit the hay, leave the phone on your desk and read to fall asleep instead. When you have downtime during the day, try journaling, playing music or going for a run instead of sitting on the couch engrossed in Instagram. So, yes, keep up to date with the important things happening in our world — by, for example, subscribing to The Pitt News — but take the time to ready yourself to absorb, process and act upon information first. Occasionally unplugging is not being uninformed, but is a necessary precaution to protect your mental health.

‘DR. FAUSTUS LIGHTS THE LIGHTS’ IN THE HENRY HEYMANN THEATRE
Tamara Alchoufete Staff Writer
An eerie presence fills the Henry Heymann Theatre. The audience sits still and silent in the darkness, holding their breath. Then, a dark figure confidently ignites the lightbulbs hanging in the air one by one until the space is bathed in bright light, introducing onlookers to a world that has been adapted by theaters all over the globe. “Dr. Faustus Lights the Lights,” the story of a power-hungry mad scientist, had its opening night Wednesday. The play is the first of four studentdirected labs in Pitt Stages’ lineup this semester. The absurd show follows the titular character, played by Jacob Aluise, as he tries to find a way out of a prison of his own making. Trapped in a cage of electric light with Little Boy (Sean Hale) and Dog (Quinn Murphy), Dr. Faustus has sold his soul to the devil, Mephisto (Malcolm Buisch), in exchange for the ability to produce electrical light and for the mastering of earthly knowledge. However, Faustus foolishly wants more and will do anything even if it means killing those closest to him or dragging them into the dark depths with him. The timeless tale was written by Gertrude Stein, a Pittsburgh native, whose 20th-century production continues to hold themes that ring true today, such as gender representation, the use of technology and the impact older generations’ actions have on the young people’s future. Originally, Stein wrote the play as an opera and the current production holds onto some of that musicality, telling the whole story in rhyme. Her avant-garde theater resonates in the adaptation Christopher J. Staley has crafted in only three weeks of rehearsal. Though the show was never staged in Stein’s lifetime, Staley said the creative team examined other iterations of the play when crafting their own and made changes, such as doing away with the sometimes monotone recitation of the rhythmic lines. “While we’ve researched these other pieces and drawn inspiration from their interpretations, we’ve continued to ask our own unique questions based on our local sociopolitical landscape now in

2019,” he said. As Dr. Faustus’ psyche unfolds, Chorus (Abigael Siecinski), narrates the tale and serves as the puppetmaster, telling the characters when to sit or stand and providing an introduction to their lines. Further turning normalcy on the head, Chorus visibly annotates the script as it is projected onto the plain white backdrop. She is the voice inside Faustus’ head, acting as the conscious he seems to have lost a long time ago. At the beginning of the show, Marguerite Ida and Helena Annabel (Samantha Rose), one woman with four personalities — also referred to as MIHA — is bitten by a venomous viper, represented by a prosthetic leg. Rose visibly switches from the frantic Marguerite Ida to the cool Helena Annabel as she ponders how to save herself.
MIHA continues to fade from viability when Country Woman (Caroline Phillips) refers her to Dr. Faustus, who Country Woman is sure can save Marguerite Ida and Helena Annabel. MIHA calls out to Faustus, but he refuses to acknowledge her presence until he succumbs to his interest in her and then cures her. After overcoming death, she is able to control electrical light while still having her soul intact — which angers the mad doctor. Rose said she interprets the sides of her character as both the side of women men favor and the side they loathe. “She’s kind of a mash-up of if you took all these boxes women are supposed to fit into and put them into one character, except that will never work, so that’s why she has like four personalities that she rotates between,” Rose said.
October 3, 2019
MIHA is constantly being beaten down by men around her. This is seen vividly when Faustus and a character called Man From Over the Sea (Jake Nahas) fight over her. Mephisto struck a deal with Dr. Faustus that grants him entrance into hell if he can persuade MIHA to go down with him. She almost immediately refuses and is whisked away by Man from Over the Sea. As Marguerite Ida and Helena Annabel are being pulled in this back and forth by Dr. Faustus and Man from Over Sea, Girl (Diane Brunke) and Boy (Parker Stephens) are off to the side of the stage blankly staring at a TV screen with their mouths agape. The pair can be interpreted as a social commentary on the benefits and detriments of technology usage in the modern age. Boy and Girl watch as innocent bystanders until the very end where they bear the brunt of Faustus’ actions. They are the next generation to inherit the world left by those before them. Sean Hale, who plays Little Boy, said his character represents Faustus’ loss of innocence and how the various characters’ actions affect one another. “I’m supposed to represent this kind of like innocence and youth and before [Dr. Faustus] went on that route,” Hale said. “It’s not just Dr. Faustus, it’s just all these people affected by his choices and his actions and it all kind of spreads out and affects everyone else while they try to spread back and affect him too to kind of counter it all.” Some argue that Stein created the characters to reflect different representations of herself and to scrutinize existential questions about the world around her about religion, humanity, innocence and the cost of knowledge amongst a plethora of others. The audience left the theater buzzing with commentary about characters they connected with and themes they saw shine through that made for some exhilarating post-show discussions. This form-breaking production opened Wednesday night and will run at the Henry Heymann Theatre all the way through Sunday, Oct. 6, with 8 p.m. shows Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. shows on Saturday and Sunday.

Sports PREDICTION : KESSMAN TO PULL THROUGH AGAINST DUKE Elliott Borawski
Staff Writer After surviving an upset scare from Delaware last week, Pitt (3-2 overall, 0-1 ACC) will look to get its first ACC win when the team travels to take on Duke (3-1 overall, 1-0 ACC) Saturday night. The Panthers were undisciplined in their last game, picking up 13 total penalties for 115 yards. While this is concerning, it should be viewed as an anomaly rather than a worrisome trend. The Panthers had fewer penalties in their previous two games combined than they did against Delaware. And besides their mental miscues, the Panthers have been stellar on the defensive side of the ball all season. They rank 27th out of 130 teams nationally with 301 yards allowed per game. Pitt’s pass rush — despite season-ending injuries to crucial starters Rashad Weaver and Keyshon Camp — has been its greatest strength, ranking second in the country with 24 sacks. Sophomore tackle Jaylen Twyman has been the main catalyst for Pitt’s revamped defensive line, leading the Panthers with six sacks on the season. Twyman & Co. should be expected to bring the pressure on Duke senior quarterback Quentin Harris as he tries to extend plays with his feet. Harris is Duke’s X factor — he leads the team with 319

rushing yards and 842 passing yards. It will be crucial for the Panthers to collapse the pocket on Harris and make him uncomfortable. Sophomore tackle Jaylen Twyman (97) leads the Panthers with six sacks on The Panthers faced a prototype for the season. Thomas Yang | assistant visual editor Harris in their first game against Virginia. Like Harris, the Cavaliers’ senior quarterback Bryce Perkins is his team’s leading passer and rusher. Pitt largely stuffed Perkins aside from one 27-yard scramble, holding him to 44 total yards on 18 carries. If Pitt’s offense limits its miscues and controls the field position battle, then the team’s defense can be trusted to likewise limit Harris’ effectiveness. Defensively, Duke doesn’t bring the same type of pressure as Pitt. The Blue Devils only record 2.5 sacks per game compared to 4.8 for the Panthers. Junior quarterback Kenny Pickett should have sufficient time to get the ball out cleanly. Pitt has shown a tremendous air attack on offense, ranking third in the ACC with 278.4 passing yards per game. Pickett is expected to return after missing last week’s game and should continue his chemistry with redshirt junior wideout Taysir Mack and senior wideout Maurice Ffrench. For all of the Panthers’ success, they still have several flaws that need cleaned up. If Pitt wants to win in ACC play, the See Kessman on page 7

Kessman, pg. 6 kicking cannot continue to be poor. Junior kicker Alex Kessman must step up his game after going 4-10 on field goals so far. The Panthers can’t afford to leave points on the board in what should be a close game against an evenly matched opponent. As far as injuries are concerned, Pitt might remain without its top two running backs — junior A.J. Davis and first-year Vincent Davis — as both are questionable to play. This could mean another breakout
performance from redshirt sophomore running back Todd Sibley, who gained more than 100 yards against Delaware — but the lack of experience at the running back position is still prevalent. Duke has a more talented running game, averaging 194.3 rushing yards per game compared to 126.0 for Pitt. Prediction Pitt: 27, Duke: 24 In the end, Pitt will do just enough to get by Duke. The Blue Devils may have smoked Virginia Tech by 35 points last week, but that speaks more to Vir-
ginia Tech’s inadequacy than Duke’s legitimacy. The Panthers won their last four games against the Blue Devils and the streak will not end there. This will be a big day for Pitt’s offense, which will produce more than 400 yards. The Panthers’ defense will allow for some big plays but pull through in the important red zone moments. It’ll be an exciting, down-tothe-wire affair. While Pitt has struggled on special teams, Kessman will get back on track this week. After missing a 41-yarder
in the UCF game, head coach Pat Narduzzi had encouraging words for him. “Listen, don’t worry about it. Let it go,” Narduzzi said. “You’re going to kick the game winner.” Kessman didn’t kick a game-winning field goal, but he at least took the final lead with an extra point. That comment showed the confidence Narduzzi has in his kicker moving forward. In this week’s game against the Blue Devils, a game-winning kick could be the difference as the Panthers barely survive going into their bye week.
