B.o.B., X Ambassadors rock Bigelow Bash

Sur! ng a crowd of Pitt students Saturday at Bigelow Bash, hip-hop artist B.o.B. grabbed a cell phone from a student and snapped a sel! e from atop the crowd.

" is year’s Bigelow Bash, Pitt Program Council’s annual free spring concert, featured two headliners — B.o.B. and alternative rock band X Ambassadors. Filling Bigelow Bou-

levard and the nearby lawns, about 4,500 to 5,000 Pitt students and community members, according to Shawn Cassidy, special events director for PPC, danced and munched on free food during one of Pittsburgh’s ! rst nice spring days.

" e crowd chanted “f*** Penn State” alongside the rapper, jumped for T-shirts that B.o.B. threw to the crowd and shouted along with lyrics. For Evan Helenbrook, a ! rst-year

mechanical engineering major, that atmo-sphere was exactly what attracted him to the event.

“I was just here for B.o.B. and it was so lit,” Helenbrook said.

A# er performing “Roll Up” from his up-coming mixtape E.A.R.T.H. and a remix of Young Dro’s “FDB,” B.o.B. ended his set with a line of advice.

About three years ago, John Kandray, his boyfriend and their friends were eating and drinking at the Little Italy Days Heritage Festi-val in Bloom! eld when another group of men began making anti-gay slurs about them.

“I had no idea what to do,” he said." e situation didn’t escalate beyond the

insults, Kandray said, but it still made him feel helpless.

Soon a# er, Kandray, now an assistant train-er, took up kung fu and other forms of self-de-fense as a way to protect himself and his loved ones. On Sunday, he shared his training with Pitt students as part of the ! rst formal defense session Pitt’s Rainbow Alliance hosted for stu-dents. " ree students from Rainbow Alliance sparred with three martial arts instructors in the William Pitt Union’s Kurtzman room for about three hours.

Instructors from Steve DeMasco’s Shaolin Studios, a kung fu studio in Regent Square — taught the self-defense session. " e session was one of a growing number of outreach classes the Shaolin Studios’ instructors are conductin g in the city to train marginalized groups. Sunday’s session was part of a partnership between Rain-

bow Alliance and Shaolin Studios that Rain-bow president Marcus Robinson said the club hopes to expand in the coming year so more members of the club can attend.

Noting recent attacks on members of the LGBTQ+ community, Kandray said self-de-fense training is important for both protection and con! dence.

“Our rights and well-being are challenged and we’re being told we’re less than and that we’re not worth defending,” Kandray, who trains at the Shaolin Studios, said. “We want to cut that down to nothing.”

According to FBI data from 2014, more than 20 percent of hate crimes that year, or about 1,114 cases out of 5,462, were directed at members of the LGBTQ+ community.

" e instructors at Shaolin currently pair with groups like fraternities and sororities, the Pitt police and now the Rainbow Alliance, to teach self-defense classes at Pitt. Sunday’s session covered basic tenets of self-defense, including awareness and intuition, body lan-guage and eye contact and basic kicks and punches.

Because he’s trained in tae kwon do for eight years and knows the impor-tance of self-defense, Peter Crouch, the incoming president of Rainbow and cur-rent business manager, said he had want-ed the club to host this kind of program since the beginning of the school year.

According to Lisa Nakamura, a sixth-degree black belt in Shaolin Kung Fu, who runs Shaolin Studios with her hus-band, the ! rst step to self-defense is as simple as paying attention.

“It’s listening to that inner voice that says, ‘Something isn’t right,’” Nakamura, who led the training session on Sunday, said. “I think we tend to squash that voice.”

Especially when walking alone at night, Nakamura said she recommends not talking on the phone or texting while moving and avoiding listening to music through earbuds.

“I think we get into a mode we think, ‘If I can’t see other people, they can’t me,’ but we don’t have that superpower,” Nakamura said.

" ough Nakamura was preparing the stu-dents for a worst-case scenario, she said the

self-defense skills showed how important it was to be conscious of one’s surroundings.

“I’m not trying to teach you to have a chronic sense of fear, I’m trying to teach you to have a healthy sense of awareness,” Nakamura said.

If an assailant approaches, Nakamura said,

the next step to staying safe is to communicate a strong message through body language and eye contact.

When it was his turn to practice, Crouch stood his ground, stared down instructor Mi-chele Colvard and yelled, “No,” making it clear

“Remember, don’t drink and drive,” he said. “Just smoke and ! y.”

" is year’s winner and runner-up of Pitt Program Council’s Battle of the Bands, Con-trolled Chaos and " e Running Men, respec-tively, opened for the headliners. " e Running Men, an indie rock group that formed three weeks before Battle of the Bands, performed covers of songs, such as " e Lumineers’ “Flow-ers in Your Hair,” as well as a few original songs.

Controlled Chaos, a hip-hop group, added dance moves to the event, dancing to hits such as “Hood Go Crazy” by Tech N9ne.

When it comes to choosing the headliners, Cassidy said PPC wants to get the most bang for its buck.

“When choosing our acts we take a lot of factors into account,” Cassidy said. “It’s part availability, but primarily it’s # nding a diverse act to appeal to the most people.”

According to Cassidy, PPC hoped the two headliners would appeal to most people. B.o.B. performed # rst and X Ambassadors closed the show with the crowd providing the chorus for

their song “Renegades.”" e crowd constantly swayed to the music,

responding to the enthusiasm of X Ambassa-dors’ lead vocalist, Sam Harris, and his brother Casey Harris on the keyboard.

“" e keyboardist was feeling it,” Samantha Richard, a sophomore pre-pharmacy major, said. “He was awesome.”

" e group got the crowd to sing along to many of their songs following Harris’ lead and singing th e refrain of songs such as “Renegades,” which is featured in recent Jeep commercials.

Giving introductions to a few of the songs, Harris drew laughs when he introduced their song “Naked.”

“" is song is about being vulnerable and opening up,” Harris said. “It’s also about taking all of your clothes o$ .”

Harris jumped around the stage and # n-ished the set on the drums with both him and drummer Adam Levin throwing their drum-sticks into the crowd.

“I came in not really knowing them,” Rich-ard said. “I was really impressed and I’m a fan now.”

! roughout the performances, students feasted on food truck delicacies, including grilled cheese and shaved ice .

Following the success of last year, PPC brought in 10 food trucks, giving students 10 tickets redeemable for one item from each truck. Each truck typically only had one menu item in order to streamline the process.

! e 10 tickets could get students plenty of food, ranging from pierogies to barbecue to crepes. A ticket was redeemable for a cupcake

from Bella Christie and Lil Z’s Sweet Boutique truck, a barbecue rib from Big Poppa’s Home-cookin’ truck or a taco from Las Chicas’ truck, among other treats.

“I knew Pitt didn’t just get some cheap food when I saw the food trucks,” Nicole Levy, a " rst-year neuroscience major, said.

One of the longest lines was for the South-side BBQ Company truck, nicknamed the CarnivoreMobile, which served up its Bar-Ba-Cone, a wa# e cone stu$ ed with mac and cheese, pulled pork and coleslaw.

“! e food is good, quality food,” Levy said.

“I was so happy when I realized that.”Last year, all 11 vendors sold out in three

hours. On Saturday, the food was gone in just over two and a half hours.

“We had a line from in front of the Union all the way into the quad of people waiting for their food tickets,” Cassidy said.

Shivangee Makharia, a " rst-year actuarial math and German major, did not mind wait-ing in the lines for food, especially if she got to listen to music too.

“I’m mostly here for the food,” she said. “But the music is actually pretty good too.”

that if Colvard were to attack, he would be ready.

Colvard, who had come up behind Crouch for a potential attack, was taken aback. With his feet " rmly squared toward Colvard, Crouch maintained stern eye contact and braced him-self with " sts raised.

“If you’re starting to get that feeling — that the creep-o-meter starts going o$ — you want to give yourself a bu$ er,” Nakamura said.

As the other two students and instructors followed suit, Nakamura showed everyone how a stance that showed a person was ready to attack if necessary and a stern “no” or “stop” would tell any potential attackers to back o$ .

“We’re a community that doesn’t always feel safe walking home at night,” Crouch said. “I think making people feel safe is important.”

Finally, as a last resort, Nakamura taught the students to throw their elbows, hit with their palms and kick an assailant’s knees and shins in order to escape an attack. ! ese attacks hit the “big nerve centers” of the body, Nakamura said, which makes it more likely for a person defend-ing themselves to overcome the % ood of adren-aline in their bloodstream. Many people forget the fourth step in self-defense, Nakamura said, which is calling the police, seeking medical at-tention or getting some other form of help.

A& er the formal training, Nakamura taught the students how to turn everyday items — like textbooks, co$ ee mugs and keys — into blunt weapons they could use to hit an attacker.

“We’re just buying you time to get out of there, that’s why it’s self-defense,” Nakamura said. “We’re just buying you time so you can go get help.”

OpinionsUC Davis cover-up antithetical to education

from the editorial board

Gen-eds more than fillers

column

My apartment is home to a mini copy of Hieronymus Bosch’s “The Garden of Earthly Delights,” and I owe it to a class I never wanted to take.

As a History major, I’m the last per-son who wants to drag myself out of bed and across campus to listen to a lecture on triptych paintings when it’s 10 de-grees out. But despite popular sentiment about general education requirements, suffering through World Art wasn’t a waste of time.

As much as gen-ed lectures about Frida Kahlo’s self-portraits provide tempting nap opportunities for those with unrelated interests, they can hold a lot of inherent value for those who

bother to show up. Being pushed into unrelated fields isn’t something to get angry about — it’s a valuable opportu-nity to grow.

Gen-eds are the basis of a liberal arts education, which is what Pitt says it aims to give every student. Pitt’s Diet-rich School of Arts and Sciences offers the courses that count as gen-eds, but students from every school are required to satisfy arts and sciences requirements in order to graduate.

Pitt’s gen-ed requirements are simi-lar to those of most other liberal arts colleges. They require a few writing-fo-cused courses; a variety of humanities, arts, social and natural sciences classes; a second language and international and

At UC Davis, blinding students has sur-passed the physical realm.

During a 2011 Occupy protest at the Uni-versity of California, Davis’ campus, police pepper-sprayed a row of sitting students at point blank.

Pictures and videos of the incident quickly went viral, becoming embarrassing evidence of student mistreatment. Five years later, new reports from the Sacramento Bee show that UC Davis spent at least $175,000 to scrub this content from search engine results and social media.

Instead of taking the con! ict as a chance to strengthen relationships with students through dialogue about the wrongs, the uni-versity prioritized its image. By spending tuition money on a campaign to hide infor-mation from prospective students and their families, UC Davis showed that it cares more about its image than students’ peace of mind.

If UC Davis was purely a pro" t-driven corporation, it would make sense to see its ad-ministrators focus on damage control. # at’s how businesses work.

But while it’s true that universities in 2016 look more and more like pro" t-driven corpo-rations, their primary function should be to ensure a healthy and safe learning environ-ment for students. Misinforming potential students and attempting to hide history by scrubbing the content goes against higher education’s core values.

# e money UC Davis spent could have gone toward actually bettering its relationship with students rather than concealing its ! aws. # e university could have expanded scholar-ship programs to help alleviate the debt those protesters were " ghting. It could have invested

in improving community relations or any other event to help the campus heal as a group a$ er the national embarrassment.

Instead, those limited funds went to the trash.

# inking that it could pay to purge the In-ternet of embarrassing pictures is absurd, and now the very pictures UC Davis hoped to hide are back in the national spotlight.

Students applying to college are old enough to understand what a protest is. # ese people witnessed the Ferguson, Missouri, un-rest, the #BlackLivesMatter movement and the political rise of Donald Trump during their formative years. Treating students like they can’t process the complicated relationship between activists and institutions is insulting.

# e damage that the pepper spray scandal could do to UC Davis in the long run is prob-ably low. Once that generation of students is completely gone, institutional memory may forget that blunder as part of the larger Oc-cupy movement.

# is disrespect for both students and the public will leave a larger mark. UC Davis was not part of a general counterforce against protesters here — it was the primary actor in a cover-up campaign. # e secret is out, and there must be an administrative response.

UC Davis holds its students to a student conduct policy. It was this very policy that al-lowed police to spray and physically drag Oc-cupy protesters down a sidewalk in the " rst place.

UC Davis owes its students an explanation for why they should respect the moral guide-lines of a school that can’t act ethically itself.

non-western culture requirements. For most students, this adds up to 19 classes.

The purpose of an undergraduate lib-eral arts education isn’t to make sure you become an advanced specialist in your field. It’s about making sure you come out on the other side a well-rounded citi-zen who can make it — in both the real world and your profession.

An Association of American Colleges and Universities survey found that 93 percent of employers said “a demonstrat-ed capacity to think critically, communi-cate clearly and solve complex problems is more important than [a candidate’s] undergraduate major.”

While learned content is a big part of collegiate studies, learning how to apply that knowledge through critical thinking and problem solving is just as important. An employer won’t care how closely you read your political science textbooks if you can’t think on your feet and adapt to new situations.

In the same survey, 80 percent of

employers agreed that despite their ma-jor, every student should “acquire broad knowledge in the liberal arts and sci-ences.”

Being able to compose a well-written report, have basic math and computing skills and reference important historical events are all necessary aspects of almost any job.

A marketing major can use knowl-edge of international cultures to help adapt their message to wider and more diverse audiences. A political science major working on a candidate’s campaign should be able to calculate statistics for a brief. And while a doctor’s knowledge of health and the human body is important, forming empathy and a connection with a patient by being able to discuss art or books is also vital.

A gen-ed isn’t supposed to inspire a deeper passion in the subject — it’s more of an opportunity to learn a bit about a new topic. But sometimes it can be the catalyst to discovering new interests.

I had absolutely zero interest in tak-ing Introduction to Cultural Anthropol-

ogy sophomore year, but once I started bothering to pay attention in lecture, I actually found it fascinating and helpful. Now, my senior thesis uses ethnographic research methods, something I didn’t even know existed until I learned about them in that class.

It’s not always evident how or if a gen-ed will be rewarding for you. Still, you might find it surprisingly useful later in life. It may even benefit you before you leave campus.

First-year students in particular ben-efit from exploring new areas of interest because many don’t have a clear idea of what field suits them best. Eighty percent of students heading to college in the fall have yet to pick a major. And of those who have, 50 percent change at least once.

If you come to Pitt carrying the “un-decided” label like I did, gen-eds are a good way to take a bunch of different classes on interesting topics without feel-ing like you’re wasting credits and time. You can explore different fields across the arts and sciences to find your niche

while building a diverse and impressive transcript.

And I don’t care how strongly you think you want to be a doctor, a psychol-ogist or an economist — it’s never a bad idea to take a few classes outside your comfort zone just to make sure.

Complaining about how annoying gen-eds can be is a legitimate grievance. Why would I want to take Introduction to Performance when I could be taking an advanced class about the religions of ancient Egypt? Paying for knowledge you have no interest in gaining is under-standably unappealing.

But at the end of your four years, an academic career balancing both depth and breadth is key to success in whatever you wish to pursue.

So when you’re enrolling for classes for next semester, take the most interest-ing — or the easiest — gen-eds you can find. When you’re stuck in Russian Fairy Tales for a whole semester, you continue to complain about it — but then try to make the most of it.

You just might learn something.

SportsStandouts emerge in Pitt’s Blue-Gold Game

Pitt softball takes the weekend vs. Georgia tech A bang-up o! ensive performance this

weekend led the Pitt women’s so" ball team to a series victory over Georgia Tech at home.

# e Panthers so" ball team (28-15, 7-9 ACC) topped Georgia Tech (17-27, 4-10 ACC) 2-1 over the weekend. Pitt took the $ rst game on Saturday 4-3 and lost the second 9-8, before some breakout o! ense from the

Panthers pulled them to 9-4 in the third game Sunday a" ernoon.

In game one on Saturday, a single from Pitt sophomore shortstop McKayla Taylor drove in Shelby Pickett for the $ rst run of the game.

Georgia Tech battled back in the top of the fourth to take a 2-1 lead o! of back-to-back singles, before Maggie Sevilla nailed one over the right $ eld wall in the bottom of the inning to tie the game 2-2.

Sophomore Kayla Harris — who pitched the entire 10 innings and let seven hits o! in 37 at-bats — walked Yellow Jacket Colleen Dar-ragh and brought in a run. She held three run-ners on for the rest of the inning, leaving the score at 3-2 going into the bottom of the sixth.

Sevilla knocked a single to le" $ eld and brought in Kathryn Duran in the sixth. Both teams remained scoreless until the 10th inning when Sevilla brought Pickett in on a double to

end the game 4-3 in Pitt’s favor. # e Yellow Jackets sought revenge in game

two Saturday, and Pitt’s o! ensive $ re had cooled, as the Panthers brought in most of their runs on walks.

Sophomore Erin Hershman started o! the scoring and sent Sevilla home on a walk o! of Georgia Tech’s Colleen Darragh.

As a sloppy, defense-oriented contest, Saturday’s Blue-Gold spring scrimmage wasn’t much to watch.

But there was a silver lining in Pitt football’s disappointing season premier at Heinz Field. Three players emerged as stand-outs, some of whom made surprising comebacks from last sea-son.

Jester Weah, Wide ReceiverThree catches, 102 yardsPitt head coach Pat Narduzzi talked up three-star recruit

Weah at the onset of last season, based on his strong perfor-mance in practices. Narduzzi’s hype and Weah’s blend of size, speed and strength, generated excitement that flatlined on the field last year. Despite his inconsistent playing time through five games last season, Weah didn’t record a catch.

But in Saturday’s intrasquad scrimmage, Weah finally flashed his abilities in front of a crowd. With receptions of 42 and 47 yards, Weah displayed his ability as a vertical threat that Nar-duzzi said his team lacked last season.

“It was good to see Jester Weah on offense,” Narduzzi said. “He showed you guys what he’s shown us over the first 14 [prac-tices] with two long catches.”

The primary source of Weah’s in-game troubles, according to the 6-foot-3, 205-pound receiver himself, is his lack of confi-dence. Saturday’s performance may have returned some of We-ah’s lost mojo, quarterback Nathan Peterman said.

the top of the second, pro! ting o" a single and a ! eld error by Taylor. Jenna Modic and Gior-giana Zeremenko both drew walks and brought in Pickett to give the Panthers a 3-2 lead.

In the ! rst at-bat in the top of the third, Georgia Tech’s Courtney Ziese hit a home run to tie the game 3-3. Ziese brought in two runs o" of four at-bats and two hits on the day.

Back-to-back homers from ! rst-year Olivia Gray and Taylor delivered four runs for the Pan-thers in the bottom of the third, giving Pitt a 7-3 jump over Georgia Tech. But the Yellow Jackets answered in the fourth with a triple down right ! eld and a single that brought them within two runs of Pitt’s lead.

In the top of the ! # h, Georgia Tech’s Jessica Kowalewicz drove in two runs with a homer of her own and tied the game 7-7.

Georgia Tech maintained its drive in the top of the seventh and brought the score to its ! nal standing, 9-8.

With a runner stranded on base in the bot-tom of the seventh, Pitt couldn’t eke out the last needed scores and Georgia Tech walked o" with the game.

$ e Panthers were charged up for Sunday’s sunny rubber match, but Hershman led the of-fense around the bases and on the plate.

$ e Panthers were down 3-0 in the bottom of the ! rst, but thanks to single RBIs from of-fensive standouts Hershman, Zeremenko and Sevilla, Pitt le# the inning on top, 4-3.

Harris struggled on the mound in the sec-ond inning, hitting Georgia Tech’s Samantha Pierannunzi with a pitch before allowing two singles and one run.

Harris marked six hits in two innings pitched Sunday, before Modic replaced her.

Modic held the Yellow Jackets to four for the rest of the game. Hershman nailed a solo out to right ! eld in the bottom of the third, bringing Pitt up 5-4.

Hershman ! nished the game out with three hits in three at-bats, a game-saving solo in the third, two RBIs and a walk.

She came home in the bottom of the ! # h o" a line drive from Gray. In the bottom of the sixth, Pitt added to its lead with three runs, and le# the game 9-4 to take the series 2-1.

$ e Panthers look to record their 29th and 30th season wins Wednesday, April 20, at Kent State in a doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m.

Softball, pg. 8“I thought it was good to come to

Heinz Field and do that again, especially for him, mentally,” Peterman said. “Now, in the season, he can come back with this mentally and be like, ‘I made plays here, I’ve done it before.’”

Elijah Zeise, LinebackerEight Tackles In need of depth at outside linebacker,

Narduzzi moved Zeise from receiver to the “star” linebacker spot this spring. The redshirt sophomore made a quick transi-tion, competing with Oluwaseun Idowu for first team reps .

On Saturday, Zeise exhibited the in-stincts and athletic ability that qualified him for the transition.

Though Zeise will face more competi-tion for the spot when Bam Bradley re-turns from an injury that sidelined him this spring, his performance Saturday may have helped separate him from Idowu.

“[You got to watch] Elijah Zeise fly around and make some plays,” Narduzzi

said.Quadree Henderson, Wide Receiver Four rushes, 107 yards The loss of Pitt’s star wide receiver,

Tyler Boyd, to the NFL Draft left a hole in the team’s offense. Pitt is in need of a receiver with the ability to contribute to the run game and to catch short passes. Henderson could be that guy.

Though Henderson isn’t tall — only 5-foot-8 — he has top-end quickness and the ability to avoid defenders. On his 64-yard touchdown run Saturday, the soph-omore made a swift move on safety and ACC Rookie of the Year Jordan White-head and raced past the rest of the de-fenders.

Narduzzi said he plans to continue using Henderson in end arounds and re-verses in the run game. Having closed out last season with a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown in the Military Bowl, Hender-son picked up where he left off Saturday.

“Quadree Henderson finished up spring ball where he left off last season with his ability to make plays — maybe out of nothing,” Narduzzi said.
