With less than half the fi scal year remaining, time is not on the side of the newest Student Government Board member.

The Board met in Nordy’s Place for its fi rst public meeting of the semester and announced its new member, Meghan Murphy, to about 40 students. The Board selected Murphy, a junior major-ing in neuroscience and political science, to fi ll the latest vacancy left by Ryan Orr, who came onto the board in April and resigned after transferring to the University of Virginia.

The Board members had brief, private conversations with Mur-phy and the other two candidates before the meeting, according to President Mike Nites. The Board members chose Murphy, previ-ously an elections committee member, because they were in-terested in her project ideas and liked her familiarity with SGB.

“I want to get everyone in-volved,” Murphy said. “Not just the people who are already look-ing to get involved.”

Murphy said she plans to col-laborate with Board members Andrew Abboud and Sara Klein on their ongoing wellness project and with Abby Zurschmit, whose

most recent project is increasing the dining options on campus.

Murphy’s appointment fi lls the former seat of Orr, who replaced one of the two open Board seats after the resignations of former

Board members Brandon Benja-min and Ellie Tsatsos. Orr’s res-ignation marked the fourth board member to resign during the 2014 fi scal year.

The Board chose Murphy from

the six fi nalists who participated in the previous public interviews to replace Benjamin and Tsatsos in April as well as former Board member Jake Radziwon, who re-signed in February.

Nites said the Board ap-proached all of the fi nalists about the opening, but three fi nalists de-clined to re-apply for the position.

Erin Shields, a senior majoring in history and political science, was one of the former fi nalists who declined because she hasn’t decided whether or not she wants to eventually study abroad.

“SGB deserves members who (fi nally) take their commitment seriously,” Shields said in an email. “I decided I didn’t want to take on the tradition of abdicating if my interests did take me away from Pitt’s campus.”

Andrew Stefanick, a senior ma-joring in accounting and fi nance, applied for the SGB position when Radziwon resigned and then again when Benjamin and Tsatsos re-signed. He opted out from this round to focus on his courses this semester but intends to run for the 2015 fi scal year.

Nites said the private conver-sations revolved around projects the applicants pitched if selected as Board members. The project

ideas consisted of proposals the applicants presented during their fi rst interviews with the Board and new projects the candidates have thought of since the interviews took place.

“We’re not going to drill them with ques-tions,” Nites said. “We won’t get into alloca-tions or all the nitty-gritty.”

Nites said he and the other Board mem-bers initially questioned if it was worth ap-pointing someone new with just one semes-ter left for the Board to serve.

“We realized it would be a disservice to students not to [fi ll the position],” Nites said.

In the future, Nites said he wants to make the expectations more clear for students who want to run for Student Government. One way he said he hopes to achieve this is by listing the responsibilities — especially the time commitments — the applicants will have as Board members on the election information packets.

The federal government may grant Pennsylvania $20 million in education funding due to plans from Mayor Bill Peduto’s office..

Peduto announced Monday the cre-ation of a Blue Ribbon Panel on Early Childhood Education, a specialized task force of 20 local education profession-als who will work toward winning the nationwide Preschool Development Grants competition, which is a federal program that will grant $250 million to preschool education nationwide for the fiscal year 2014 , according to a release.

While the panel’s main goal is to win the “competitive grants from the White House,” it will also work to support early childhood education generally,

according to Peduto’s spokesman Tim McNulty.

Pennsylvania is eligible to win up to $20 million from the competition if they satisfy requirements such as implementing “state-level infrastruc-ture and quality improvements” and setting up childcare learning services from birth through third grade, accord-ing to the U.S. Department of Education.

“Pittsburgh must keep developing as a city of learning — a city committed to exemplary education of its citizens from birth to career and from career to lifelong learning — and providing early childhood education is essential to that development,” Peduto said in the release.

McNulty was not able to provide spe-cifics on what the panel will do aside from planning ways to improve Pitts-

burgh preschools and working to win the competition. The panel will also determine “the best application that the city can put forward” to address the needs of preschool students.

Another city-based education initia-tive =is The Pittsburgh Promise — a foundation that gives privately funded college scholarships for students who complete their entire education at Pitts-burgh Public Schools. Although the city does not fund The Pittsburgh Promise, McNulty said Peduto’s office regards The Pittsburgh Promise as a way to help students at the “back end” of education. Winning $20 million in grants will en-able Peduto’s office to provide a similar service for early childhood education.

“Now he’s looking at something spe-cial that Pittsburgh can provide on the front end of education,” McNulty said.

OPINIONS

With an ambitious project aiming to create a permanent human settlement on Mars, the nonprofi t foundation Mars One has given new meaning to the “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore” internet meme.

By 2023, the Dutch organization claims it will have established a permanent settlement on Earth’s red neighbor.

Of course, the project still has a long way to go before its eventual departure. Currently in its crew-selection phase, Mars One is at-tempting to weed out numerous applicants from around the world to form a few crews

of four — the current pool of applicants con-sists of nearly 700 people, while the original contained more than 200,000. Mars One expects at least six groups to make the ini-tial trip.

The foundation recently partnered with Endemol — an international television com-pany known for creating shows like “Deal or No Deal” and “Big Brother” — with plans to turn the scientifi cally oriented mission into a reality show. Mars One has, in turn, given Endemol-owned Darlow Smithson Produc-tions (DSP) the rights to follow and fi lm its vigorous selection and training process.

With the goal of selecting suitable candi-dates, the rising reality television element

poses a potential concern for the e! ect it could have on crew selection — and, as a result, the mission as a whole. A mission with a primary objective that was once solely focused on breaking the bounds of human discovery is now concerned with breaking the bounds of television history.

The more the mission steers towards real-ity television, the less successful its “human discovery” component will be. Even if the television element only plays a slight role, a selection process for this particular mission that has any amount of “watchability” in mind can undermine the mission’s success. For a mission with stakes as high as Mars One’s, the selection and training process

should emphasize skills that will be practical for starting and sustaining a colony on Mars — like intellect, physicality and mental state.

Once landed, settlers will be tasked with researching and determining the logistics of life on Mars and, perhaps as an even more di" cult task, they will also be responsible for creating its societal mold.

These challenges become even harder to achieve with superfi cial, non-scientifi c mo-tives behind Mars One’s endeavors.

That’s not to say that Mars One has not acknowledged these very real challenges. The training program it created is quite extensive

Excitement over airport drilling masks its viable harmsEDITORIALEDITORIAL

Western Pennsylvania has always been a fracker’s paradise.

Since the Corbett administration took o" ce in Harrisburg, fracturing — or frack-ing — shale rocks to release the precious natural gas inside has been highly celebrated in Pennsylvania, as demonstrated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmen-tal Protection’s (DEP) relatively lenient regulations regarding the “cutting-edge” technique.

Inevitably, the Corbett administration’s preferred method of energy extraction has spread to Allegheny County, and more re-cently, the Pittsburgh International Airport.

Even though the drilling of county-owned land near the airport technically began on Aug. 15, it wasn’t until this past Monday that Consol Energy President and CEO, Nick Deluliis, and Gov. Tom Corbett, along with other state politicians, gathered at the site to commemorate the “project kicko! .”

Politicians, Consol Energy and the Pitts-burgh airport seem to be very excited about this project, and for good reason. Consol expects that it will bring more than $1 billion to the region, $50 million to the Allegheny County Airport Authority — including 18

percent in royalties over the next two de-cades — and $500 million in capital spend-ing by Consol itself.

This project undoubtedly presents ben-efi ts for Consol and for the airport — which has been in fi scal dire straits as of late — but the benefi ts for the actual region might not go past the airport or the large energy com-pany. In fact, the project has the potential to spread more harm than tangible good to the people of Allegheny County.

First, the amount of money that the public stands to gain from this drilling is not as high as it looks on its face. Yes, Con-sol expects that the project will generate funds to the region, but a substantial por-tion seems to be focused on alleviating the airport’s debt.

The actual economic benefi ts this project will bring the average Allegheny County resident will most likely not be as dramatic as Corbett and Consol have insinuated. And seeing that Pennsylvania does not charge a gas extraction tax on oil companies — if you haven’t been listening to Tom Wolf ’s attack ads against Corbett , we’re currently the only state that doesn’t — much of the money to be gained from the drilling will be out of the public’s hands.

In actuality, the harm caused by this project is potentially much more dramatic than the economic benefi ts for Allegheny County citizens. This is mainly because of the project’s proximity to highly populated areas within the county and to the water supply of its residents.

Steve Hvozdovich, the Marcellus Shale campaign coordinator for the national envi-ronmental lobbying organization, Clean Wa-ter Action’s Pittsburgh o" ce, said, “I think our greatest concern is [the project’s] ability to impact local water and air supplies.”

He cited the way in which companies dispose of the excess wastewater from the fracking process as the reason for his con-cern.

The wastewater could either be “taken into an underground injection well,” which could leak into drinking water aquifers, “tak-en to a public water treatment facility and then discharged into rivers and streams” or the wastewater could be “recycled and taken to another site for use,” Hvozdovich said.

All potential options pose long-term problems, but the last — the recycling of the wastewater — is the best “short-term” option, according to Hvozdovich. But that option only moves the wastewater to a dif-

ferent plant. It doesn’t get rid of it.The least Consol can do, seeing that the

negatives have the potential to outweigh the benefi ts, is to make the actual process apparent to local residents.

“There has been some issue with trans-parency,” said Hvozdovich, “people don’t understand how close this is to populated areas and where wastewater is going to be disposed.”

This responsibility falls on the state gov-ernment. Pennsylvania citizens, and in this case, Allegheny County citizens have a right to know about possible threats to their qual-ity of life — specifi cally, when and how these threats occur. So it is up to regulators to keep a sharp eye on this dangerous extraction of natural gas and to promote openness in companies’ processes.

“The more that [fracking companies] don’t put out there, the more people are left to guess what is being done and the more people are left to trust their government,” Hvozdovich said.

As of right now, politicians and Consol have only addressed the possible benefi ts of the Pittsburgh Airport drilling project. It’s time they address the possible threats as well.

and rigorous. For instance, the space travel-ers must experience isolation periods every two years of the their planned eight years of training. These “isolation periods” will be spent in simulation facilities, along with the other three members of the astronaut’s crew. The remainder of their training will encompass learning the skills necessary to sustain themselves while on Mars.

But again, many logistical, social and

physical challenges still remain unforeseen by Mars One, which has inevitably set it up to become one of the most intriguing, yet extremely risky, social and scientifi c endeav-ors of our time.

While there’s no way of determining how di" erent social and physical elements will arise, one thing is certain: The settlement that develops on Mars must do so on a foun-dation of self-reliance. Once the crews arrive on the distant planet, they will, naturally, be isolated from Earth and forced to sustain life and overcome any challenges that may emerge.

But a society is only as strong as the people in it. As Mars One undertakes crew selection, it must consider a variety of fac-tors. How will the candidate integrate into this brand new society? How will the can-didate be able to contribute to life on the settlement?

With the newfound plans to turn the mis-sion into a reality show, the consideration on whether the training and selection process is viable on cable television has also come into play, which is a consideration that could jeopardize the original and noble goals of Mars One’s mission.

We can only hope that the mission does not succumb to the superfi cial and entic-ing culture that is reality television. For the sake of their original objective to transcend the bounds of human discovery and science — and for the sake of the sustainability of the settlement itself — they simply cannot a" ord to divert any focus from the harsh realities that will come along with travel to the interstellar and virtually unkown frontier.

So, my mission to you Mars One, should you choose to accept it, is to remain faithful to your original objective.

SPORTSWOMEN’S SOCCERWOMEN’S SOCCER

Disappointment in their latest performance lingers around the womens’ soccer locker room, but the Panthers will have another chance to notch their second win of their goal for 11 wins this season.

After su! ering a heartbreaking loss to Duquesne on Sunday from a goal scored in the 104th minute, the Panthers will look to improve upon their current 1-1 record Wednesday at Ambrose Urbanic Field at the Petersen Sports Complex as they take on the Robert Morris Colonials with a kicko! slated for 7 p.m.

Losing to Duquesne wasn’t the only bad news for the Panthers Sunday — senior captain Jackie Poucel su! ered a concussion during the 63rd minute of the contest and will not play Wednesday. Poucel will be re-evaluated in the next few days to determine her status for upcoming games.

Despite these setbacks, head coach Greg Miller remains focused on Wednesday’s task.

“The biggest thing for us is just getting everyone over what happened on Sunday,”

Miller said. “[We need to] refocus on our strengths and what we’re good at … it’s criti-cal for us to come out with a new intensity and not to dwell on what happened the other day.”

The Panthers are working to keep its mind in a positive place, remembering that they are only two games into a young season.

Sophomore captain Siobhan McDonough has refocused, and is confi dent her team is doing the same.

“Last night’s game was disappointing, but we now look at it as an opportunity to rally,” McDonough said. “The loss is a bump in the road to our ultimate goal of the Year of 11. We’ll watch fi lm and dissect the areas where we faulted and try to correct them before Wednesday.”

The injured captain, Poucel, also remains optimistic following the loss to Duquesne.

“We have a great opportunity to win a lot of games with this team,” Poucel said. “I’ve seen us do really great things on the fi eld and in practice, and we have something special.”

Although Poucel will not play Wednesday, she still plans to lead her team in spirit from the sidelines and has her own strategy for the Panthers coming out on top.

“We have to play the way we know how to play: with aggression and fl uid attacking patterns that puts [them] under pressure,” Poucel said. “We are much better than we played [on Sunday], and I just want to make sure my team keeps looking forward.”

Mental toughness is always a factor in sports, but the Panthers’ coaching sta! knows they will also have to adjust tactically for the game against Robert Morris. To pre-pare, Miller has been researching the other team, and he has identifi ed two aspects of the Colonials’ strength.

“If you don’t defend them properly and you don’t press them, then they have the ability to get out and move the ball across the fi eld and to get the ball forward so they can attack with some purpose,” Miller said.

In addition to their ability to take advan-tage of lackadaisical defense, the Colonials can turn an opponent’s o! ensive charge back on them quickly.

“They counterattack well, so when a team loses possession they’re pretty e! ective at having players moving the ball forward to try and catch you o! guard,” Miller said. “We have to be really organized and diligent with

our defending when we give the ball away.”Part of the Panthers’ ability to stifl e the

Colonials’ counterattack will depend on their own o! ense’s e" ciency. O! ense was a weak spot for the Panthers over the course of last season, and those problems resurfaced again in their last game, even after putting up three goals last Friday against Akron. To succeed this season, and in the upcoming game, Miller knows his players have to be more assertive in their o! ensive attack.

“We’re much more of an attacking team than we were last year… but they’re young, and they’re still trying to fi gure out some things about themselves, about one another, and about how we’re trying to play,” Miller said. “I’m much more confi dent and comfort-able with this group of players and I know they’re going to get better, and I think we’re going to become more dangerous as we move along.”

The Panthers have taken one step for-ward and one backward through the fi rst two games of the 2014 season, which leaves them seeking 10 wins through their next 16 games in order to reach their goal in this “Year of 11.”

Panthers look to rebound after captain!s injuryKevin Wheeler

Our nation’s capital is accustomed to deal-ing with pressure from protests like the Civil Rights March in 1963 or Occupy Wall Street in 2011, but now the Washington area may see demonstrations every Sunday outside of FedEx Field.

The 2013 NFL season brought a renewed e! ort to eliminate the name of Washing-ton’s football team, now understood as a racial epithet targeted at Native Americans. Protests occurred outside of Washington’s away games last season in Dallas, Denver and Minneapolis — cities with relatively high Native American populations.

In Nov. 2013, FedEx Field — Washing-ton’s home stadium — saw a protest at-tended by representatives of other ethnic minorities led by Hakim Muhammad, a leader of the Coalition of Prince George’s County Leaders and Organizations. But the elimination process faded during the fi nal weeks of the season as Washington’s playo! hopes came to an early end.

Although Washington made some im-portant roster moves during the o! season, the media paid closer attention to the move it chose not to make.

In an interview with ESPN’s “Outside the Lines,” owner of the Washington team Dan Snyder said the Washington “fan base represents honor, represents respect, rep-

resents pride.”Snyder has been under heavy fi re for his

stubbornness in defending his team’s name. The label he equates with pride is the same as the one white settlers in western colonies used to describe the skin tone of natives, as well as a word to count the number of Native American scalps collected by trap-pers. The term developed into a derogatory distinction between the former Europeans and Native Americans.

It is no longer a question of whether or not the word is a racial slur. The NFL is waiting for Snyder to make a move on its troubled name and, according to a Vox Populi poll, nearly one-third of football fans in the DC Metro area fi nd the team

name o! ensive. Two years ago, I discussed Washington’s

team name for an article and concluded that if Washington fi nally authorized a name change, it would receive overwhelming pro-tests from large sports media corporations like ESPN and Sports Illustrated.

When I fi rst brought up the issue, Derek Donovan, the public editor for the Kansas City Star, said he found the team name “un-healthy” and banned its use from the news-paper following a 2012 matchup between Washington and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Other newspapers, like the Seattle Times and San Francisco Chronicle, shortly fol-

lowed suit, and on Monday, the Washington Post said it will not use the team’s name in its editorials. Multiple online news outlets, like Slate and The New Republic, also jumped on the anti-Washington name wagon this summer — they just say “Washington,” as in “Washington scored a touchdown.”

But the pressure really intensifi ed when two top NFL analysts, Phil Simms of CBS and Tony Dungy of NBC, announced this summer that they will no longer use the racial epithet while broadcasting. Simms was a Super Bowl-winning quarterback with the New York Giants in 1986, and Dungy coached the 2006 Indianapolis Colts to a title.

Another large identity in the football world further damaged Washington’s repu-tation when former NFL referee Mike Carey, who now works for CBS, announced that he had not worked a Washington game be-tween 2006 until his retirement in 2013 because he disagreed with the use of the team name.

The publicity of the controversy carried the debate into the political realm, where even more pressure began to fall on Snyder and his team.

On May 1, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Snyder to change the team name after results came out from the Don-ald Sterling fi asco and said, “It’s time for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to follow NBA counterpart Adam Silver’s lead and rid his league of bigotry and racism.”

Next, the U.S. Patent and Trademark O! ce canceled Washington’s trademark in June. Although Washington’s lawyers are confi dent that the ruling will be overturned, the cancellation symbolizes a protest in the political community.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clin-ton and current Attorney General Eric Holder have joined several other politi-cians in calling on Snyder to change the team’s name. President Barack Obama also said he would “think about changing” the team’s name if he owned Washington’s foot-ball team.
