The Daily Athenaeum - UNIVERSITY WELCOME EVENT The University Welcome event is the first official university event that incoming freshmen and transfer students attend. Held at the WVU Coliseum, students spend time at different organizational booths where they learn what it means to be a Mountaineer. This event also allows students the opportunity to hear about various on-campus programs. The Daily Athenaeum attends this event to educate our newer students about our daily products, employment opportunities, and special events. These face-to-face encounters really allow us to put a personality with the DA, invigorate interest and encourage participation. This past year we not only took applications for employment, we also handed out our “Welcome Home” edition of the paper, DA stress balls, candy and some reusable grocery bags. The grocery bags were branded with our DA logo and our sponsor’s logo. The sponsorship helps to offset our cost and give another WVU unit a chance to capture the attention of incoming students. Setting up at events is easily accomplished but spreading the word takes a little more planning and execution. Each year we do some type of give away and this year was no different; however, it was very interactive. Our “Photo Booth Facebook Contest” involved students, props and our Welcome Home edition. We snapped photos of everyone who participated. The photos were then posted to our Facebook page and the photo with the ‘most likes’ won a whitewater rafting trip. This event engaged our new students with the DA staff and opened the door for future communication whether it is for stories, ads, internships or paid positions. It also reinforced our campus awareness and presence with everyone who already knows who we are – the campus newspaper.
Winner of the Photo Booth Contest.

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you will make your imprint by expressing your unique vision and ability to let go of the past. You express a quality of kindness that attracts many people. At the same time, others might become more demanding, which forces you to look at yourself and your expectations. If you are single, you will have many choices. Someone you might meet could be quite picky. Do not move quickly here. If you are attached, romance will flourish, especially when you go away for a few days together. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) ★★★★★ You have reason to feel energized once again. What a wonderful way to end the week and start
your weekend! You seem to cruise through problem after problem. A boss or higher-up will give you nothing but high praise. Tonight: You have plenty of reason to celebrate. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) ★★★ Understand that the less said, the better. This approach works very well, especially when you don’t know what to say next. Still, your good humor marks much of what is going on. Curb a tendency to go to extremes with life’s indulgences. Tonight: Visit with a friend or loved one. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) ★★★★ Tension might build around a domestic matter. Worry less about that issue, and enjoy your positive friends. You’ll want to make a big difference, but perhaps right now is a period to relax and be more carefree. Tonight: The more people around you, the better. Enjoy yourself!
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) ★★★★ You can’t always be the epitome of self-discipline. There seems to be a high level of tension surrounding a particular matter, but you’ll be able to handle the tension. You’ll come up with a solution with a little help from your friends! Tonight: Take your cue from someone else. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) ★★★★ Assume that you don’t have all the information needed. Willingly ask more questions and accept others’ theories. Use caution in the next few months when dealing with your funds. Avoid putting words into someone’s mouth. Tonight: Consider escaping for the weekend. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) ★★★★ You will feel empowered with the Sun in your sign. Work with individuals rather than groups. Others will clamor for your attention. Know that
you can handle this, while still achieving the results you desire. An offer is too good to say “no” to. Tonight: A close encounter. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) ★★★★★ Stay focused, as others might drop a lot of information on you. Consider your options, but be careful not to negate any suggestions. You might need some personal thinking time, which could be difficult to achieve with everyone seeking you out. Tonight: TGIF! SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) ★★★★ You might need to move in a new direction after some thought. Right now, assess a situation and decide what might be best for you, as well as for others. During the next few weeks, emphasize manifesting more of what you want. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) ★★★★ You might want to rethink a personal matter more carefully, yet the moment seems to take over. Someone in your immediate environment is quite the jovial personality. You can’t help but lighten up and be more spontaneous, at least for now. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) ★★★★★ You could be looking at a matter very differently because of a recent discussion with someone you respect whose perceptions are far more diverse than yours are. Be willing to extend this conversation over several days, if need be. Tonight: Homeward bound. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) ★★★★★ You can’t help but be in the middle of conversations and plan-making. For now, the world
seems to be revolving around you. Do not hesitate to call a special person whom you have not spoken to in a while. The conversation will delight you. Tonight: Out and about. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) ★★★★ You might want to continue taking the lead with financial matters. You could be more inspired about a proposition than others anticipate. Your vision is far more complete than that of those making the suggestion. Be as direct as possible. Tonight: Treat a loved one to some drinks. BORN TODAY Basketball player Kobe Bryant (1978), musician Rick Springfield (1949), actor River Phoenix (1970)
