ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR WVU plans to implement new changes to the WVU academic policy including GPA changes, transient course limitation and the D/F repeat policy starting in the Fall 2019 semester, according to a release from WVU. Starting next semester, a first time freshman will have an institutional GPA, which will consist of only those courses taken at WVU. This GPA will be used to determine graduation status, programmatic eligibility and standards, academic awards, Latin honors and probation and suspension. However, a student’s overall GPA, which includes the GPA of transfer and transient coursework, which are courses taken at WVU by students at another college or university, along with WVU courses, will determine eligibility for all financial aid programs, such as the PROMISE Scholarship. Students will be given only three attempts to complete a course for a grade. Undergraduates with three or more attempts at a course prior to the 2019-20 academic year will be granted one additional attempt automatically during the 2019-20 academic year. Transfer grades will also no longer be incorporated into their WVU institutional GPA. Transfer grades will count toward a student’s overall GPA and will be used to determine eligibility for all financial aid programs, according to the release. “Transfer students will have an easier transition to WVU when get-
ting courses articulated and acceptance of their [associate] degrees toward WVU GEF requirements,” said Paul Kreider, vice provost for academic strategies, curriculum and assessment at WVU. Students will now be able to D/F repeat any number of different courses at any time in their academic career. The previous policy only allowed students to D/F repeat within their first 60 credit hours completed at WVU. “[The D/F repeat] policy is intended to keep students from staying in a degree path that they are unlikely to complete or driving up more debts because they’ll be in school longer and less likely to complete at some point in the future,” said Louis Slimak, director of Academic Excellence and Assessment at WVU. Slimak said these are policies driven by data and that extensive research went into the academic policy changes. “We look back three to five years at student performance on our 20some thousand students each year to determine what kind of changes need made so that when we are enforcing academic policies, we’re being more strict or certainly less strict because now you can D/F repeat a course anytime in your academic career as opposed to the first 60 hours,” he said. Slimak said the academic policy committee also realized that the previous D/F policy was negatively affecting good students and was not penalizing bad students. “We will see undergraduate student retention rates increase due to changes that afford students that ability to D/F repeat during
Notable changes: GPA: • Previous: Transfer and WVU courses count toward GPA • New: WVU courses create institutional GPA, which determines graduation status, program eligibility etc. Overall GPA includes both WVU and transfer courses, which determines financial aid eligibility
Course Attempts: • Previous: Could repeat course unlimited number of times • New: Only three attempts allowed per course
Transfer: • Previous: Transfer credits counted toward WVU GPA • New: Transfer credits count only toward overall GPA
D/F Repeat:
Transient:
• Previous: Could only D/F repeat course before student completes 60 credit hours •New: Can D/F repeat course at any time
• Previous: Counted toward WVU GPA and no limit on courses • New: Count only toward overall GPA; limit of 18 credit hours
any portion of their education,” said Kreider. Transient courses will also count only toward overall GPA and will be used to determine eligibility for all financial aid programs. All undergraduate students will be limited to a total of 18 hours in transient courses after enrolling at WVU. “The main motivating factor be-

hind all of the changes was student success, and we define that primarily in terms of retention, which means specifically freshmen coming back to be sophomores, the persistence which is the students’ continuing to return after their sophomore year, and then completion,” Slimak said.
Student remains in intensive care two months after fall BY DOUGLAS SOULE EDITOR IN CHIEF More than two months after a fall on fraternity steps, WVU student David Rusko remains in an intensive care unit. He is being treated at the Shepherd Center in Georgia and is a part of Shepherd Center’s Disorders of Consciousness program. The program provides specialized services for people in low-level states of consciousness caused by brain injury, according to a Shepherd Center press release. David Rusko, a senior finance student from Uniontown, Pennsylvania, who was set to graduate in May, fell down the steps at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house while visiting his fraternity brothers on Nov. 10, according to a Nov. 15 WVU press release. Officers discovered that more than two hours lapsed between Rusko’s fall and a 911 call for help, according to the release. WVU announced on Tuesday that three students had agreed to a permanent separation from WVU after an investigation into a Rusko’s fall and that about 15 students have agreed to other disciplinary actions. David Rusko’s family spent Christmas with him at Ruby Memorial Hospital, where he was treated before being transferred to the Georgia facility. “Me and my wife and other family members, we took turns — we can only have so many people back there — so we took turns going into his room,” Dave Rusko, David Rusko’s father said during a December interview. Dave Rusko said he hopes his son will one day finish his education at WVU. “He loved West Virginia University,” he said. “He just loved it there. We’re just thankful that he’s still alive. We’ll just hope for the best.”

Justice invites Trump to West Virginia to deliver State of the Union City council votes to assist BY JOE SEVERINO NEWS EDITOR On Wednesday, Gov. Jim Justice invited President Donald Trump to West Virginia to give his State of the Union Address in the State Capitol. “I called the President yesterday to convey our invitation for him to come to West Virginia to give the State of the Union Address in our State Capitol,” Justice said in a press release. “Giving the speech in a state full of people who love their country would truly reflect his focus on the forgotten men and women of America.” Justice said he discussed the idea with West Virginia House Speaker Roger Hanshaw, R-Clay, before extending the invitation to the President. “No matter where he chooses to have the speech, I want the President to know that he is always welcome in the great state of West Virginia,” Justice said in the release.
On Jan. 16, newly-elected House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, wrote a letter to Trump asking the President to delay his State of the Union Address until after the partial government shutdown ended. Pelosi cited security concerns due to the U.S. Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security working but not receiving pay during the shutdown. Trump and Pelosi traded jabs on Wednesday over the address. Early in the day, Trump penned a letter to Pelosi saying that he confirmed with the Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security that there would be no security concerns regarding the address and that he still planned to come. Pelosi wrote back to Trump saying the House will not consider a resolution for the address until the government shutdown has ended. Late Wedensday night, Trump announced that that he would not be giving the address until after the shutdown.

Students, faculty affected by shutdown asked to contact Provost’s office BY JOE SEVERINO NEWS EDITOR WVU is asking that any undergraduate students, graduate students or any faculty members experiencing financial hardship due to the partial government shutdown contact the University to make possible arrangements for payments. Last week, Provost Joyce McConnell sent an email to WVU faculty urging members to direct students who may be affected by the government shutdown to the Mountaineer HUB or to the Office of Graduate Education and Life. Undergraduate students should contact the WVU HUB at 304-293-1988.
“All of us at West Virginia University are committed to helping those affected by this shutdown.”
-Joyce McConnell, Provost
Graduate students should contact the Office of Graduate Education and Life at 304293-7173 or email katherine. karraker@mail.wvu.edu Faculty should contact the Provost’s office “We are aware that some members are now being impacted financially by the current shutdown of parts of the federal government,” McConnell wrote in the email. “As always, we want to support our Mountaineer family.” Katherine Karraker, associ-
Three students agree to permanent separation from WVU following investigation STAFF REPORTS Three students agreed to a permanent separation from WVU after an investigation into a student’s fall at a fraternity house, according to a University news release. The fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, remains under interim suspension after being placed under it in November, according to the release, which was sent on Tuesday
morning. About 15 students have agreed to other disciplinary actions. David Rusko, a senior finance student from Uniontown, Pennsylvania, who was set to graduate in May, fell down the steps at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house while visiting his fraternity brothers on Nov. 10, according to a Nov. 15 WVU press release. Officers discovered that more than two hours lapsed between Rusko’s fall and a 911 call for help, according to the release.
ate provost for Graduate Academic Affairs, wrote in an email Wednesday that, so far, no graduate students had contacted her yet about assistance, except for a student concerned about a delay in a federal loan. Adam Minsky, an attorney and contributor to Forbes, wrote in a December 2018 article that federal student loans should largely be unaffected by the partial government shutdown. “[W]hen it comes to things
like processing your payments, sending you notices and reviewing applications for deferments or income-driven repayment, we shouldn’t see any major impacts as a result of the shutdown,” Minsky wrote. At the bottom of the email from McConnell, she added that any concern regarding the shutdown can be directed to the Provost’s office. “All of us at West Virginia University are committed to helping those affected by this shutdown,” she wrote. “If you know of other situations not addressed in this email with which our office could help, please send an email directly to provost@mail.wvu.edu articulating the specifics.”
Morgantown City Council unanimously voted to coordinate with the Morgantown Utility Board (MUB) on Tuesday to accommodate federal workers who are not receiving a paycheck due to the government shutdown. Morgantown Utility Board, the city’s water and sewer service, held its regular board meeting Monday night, where it decided to allow furloughed government employees to not have to pay utility bills until after the shutdown. Thursday will be the 34th day out of work for more than 800,000 government workers. Morgantown resident Christine Wallace spoke during city council’s public portion of the meeting and said she asked that furloughed government employees receive utility assistance from the board. “It was fabulous to hear the Morgantown Utility Board’s response,” Wallace said. “They went above and beyond what I thought they would give.” Wallace, who is married to Third Ward Councilor Ryan Wallace, said she was happy with both MUB and city council’s decision to address the government shutdown this week. “I think a lot of people are on the same page, and I think that’s great for our area, to be really willing to offer that kind of assistance,” Wallace said. “Even in Mon County and some of the areas around us, there are people that are parents that just aren’t getting a paycheck.” City council proposed a deferred payment accommodation for utilities on a case-bycase basis. They said direct impact of the federal furlough must be demonstrated, and the MUB must be contacted for any
accommodation. At the end of the partial government shutdown, past-due balances will be spread out over a six-month period. Since the board also handles the city’s trash billings, City Manager Paul Brake said the assistance will also apply to trash bills. Non-federal workers also facing challenges due to the shutdown can also receive the MUB benefit. For example, the MUB also offered to assist Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients who won’t receive food stamps due to budget cuts, Wallace said. The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (WVDHHR) has already issued the state’s SNAP benefits for February, ahead of schedule due to the shutdown. “It is nice to know these people will receive assistance,” Wallace said. “I appreciate the initiative that’s been shown here, and I appreciate the fact that we’re able to make sure these accommodations for folks that are struggling,” First Ward Councilor Rachel Fetty During said during her councilor’s report. But while she’s happy the government workers will be looked after while the shutdown carries on, Fetty said she hopes people can take lessons from the compassion shared by the community and continue it in the future. She added that basic utilities like water and electricity are things families will always struggle with. “I would encourage us to keep this same open-heartedness and open-mindedness in play long after, hopefully, everyone gets back to work,” Fetty said. “It will always be a real test of our resolve and character to try to take what we’re learning from this furlough into the future.”
WVU leaving out-of-state tuition program in 2020 BY JOE SEVERINO NEWS EDITOR WVU will be discontinuing its involvement with undergraduate students in the Academic Common Market beginning in the Summer 2020 semester. The Academic Common Market is a tuition assistance program that offersin-state tuition to students who are from states where a degree program they are pursuing doesn’t exist. WVU announced last week it will stop accepting undergraduate students
from the Academic Common Market in after the Spring 2020 semester. The University will continue to accept graduate students in the program, however. The program does not accept students for professional degree programs. The Academic Common Market currently has 13 fully participating states, including West Virginia. Texas and Florida are the only other states that accept graduate students through the program and not undergraduate students. The other participating
states include: • Alabama • Delaware • Kentucky • Maryland • Oklahoma • Tennessee • Arkansas • Georgia • Louisiana • South Carolina • Virginia

New pair announces run for SGA president BY QUEST BABCOCK STAFF WRITER
A third pair has officially announced their intentions to run for SGA president and vice president. Kate Dye and Madison Matheny became the newest pair of potential candidates to enter the race, SGA announced in a press release last week. “I joined SGA my freshman year because I thought SGA was a platform for passionate students to advocate for student issues and enact change on campus for the welfare of all students,” Matheny said in an email. “But throughout my experience in SGA, I didn’t al-
ways find that to be true.” “Yet, those same experiences have given me the opportunity to identify issues both in the organization and on campus,” she added. Matheny said that she and Dye have been involved with SGA for the majority of their college careers. “We see the potential of this organization and the people in it, but we know that there is so much more that needs to be done in order for SGA to really be effective,” she said. “We want to work towards an SGA that represents the heart of WVU, which we know to be made up of diverse backgrounds, perspectives and disciplines. An SGA that is passionate about making our home one we can

be proud of.” Dye and Matheny will join the pair of Jay Zaleski and Jacqueline Bonar and the pair of Mikalaa Martin and Mason Arbogast in the SGA election,
held March 6 and 7. The Zaleski-Bonar and Martin-Arbogast tickets announced their intentions to run in December before the end of the Fall 2018 semester.

Two pairs of potential SGA presidential and vice presidential candidates were served $30 fines by the WVU Elections Committee for comments made in a Jan. 13 Daily Athenaeum article. The pair of Mikalaa Martin and Mason Arbogast, along with the pair of Jay Zelski and Jacqueline Bonar, were both given a $30 fine and a reprimand for the comments in the article, which the Elections Board claimed were an instance of active campaigning before the allotted time. Both Arbogast and Zaleski told the Daily Athenaeum Tuesday night that each of them, along with Martin and Bonar, received individual $15 in fines and a reprimand. Zaleski said he believed he and Bonar are going to appeal both charges to the Judicial Court, while Arbogast said he and Martin have not made a decision on whether to appeal. SGA issued a press re-
lease Wednesday confirming the violations. In the Jan. 13 DA article, the potential candidates were asked to detail their possible platforms and comment on certain issues at WVU. SGA Elections Chair Steven Treadway sent an email to the Daily Athenaeum last week asking for the article to be removed from all social media, but not from the newspaper’s website. In an interview later that night, SGA Attorney General Miguel Fortney-Henriquez said that any sharing of the article on social media violated SGA Elections code against active campaigning, and any future shares of the article will add a “per instance” violation to the potential candidates. “While we believe we have no right or jurisdiction to order the free press to do anything, this email is serving as a formal request that the article in question be removed from all social media, except that of your website,” he wrote. Fortney-Henriquez said the email was not meant to be an order to an independent entity.

Study abroad fair enlightens students to new opportunities BY RACHEL JOHNSON ASSISTANT CULTURE EDITOR Studying abroad is an opportunity for students to venture outside of the Mountain State and better understand the ever-changing world around them. Mariam Gejadze, a senior international studies student, works with the Office of Global Affairs and has studied abroad. Gejadze is from Long Island, New York, but she was born in the country of Georgia. She studied abroad in Strasbourg, France, where she took courses at the University of Strasbourg as well as the Chateau, where she lived. During her weekends she traveled a lot, experiencing things one could normally only read about in textbooks. “I think it’s important to get out of your comfort zone and explore what’s out there,”
Gejadze said. “Everyone you meet, you learn something from.” Michael Bloom and Shelby Concepcion work at Education Abroad office, which can help students with exchange programs, summer school or internship opportunities. Both Bloom and Concepcion studied abroad as students. Bloom studied in Australia at Australian Catholic University. He described his courses there as unique to anything he could have experienced in the United States. “Since I’m from Morgantown, West Virginia, the No. 1 thing it did was open my eyes and help me experience a new culture,” Bloom said. Concepcion has had many experiences abroad and explained the importance of going abroad. “Having an international perspective just flows into your life,” Concepcion said. “We are a very multicultural
nation, and empathy is an amazing thing to have at this moment, where you can learn how to interact with people who are different than you. Also, it’s a lesson in independence, learning how to forge your own way in a place that you aren’t comfortable with.” Grants and scholarships are available through various offices and colleges within WVU. Concepcion said they work closely with the financial office. Students who are interested in studying abroad should visit the Education Abroad office, which is located in the basement of the Puritan house. “We love talking to students who are interested so we can get a feel for what their needs are, and we can help guide them ourselves. We welcome visitors, we welcome walkins. There are also links on our website where students can schedule appointments.” Concepcion said.

How to achieve your skin goals using local Korean beauty products BY KRISTEN MOHAMMADI STAFF WRITER If you’re struggling with your skin, you may not need to look any farther for skin care than right off High Street. Poppy & Daisy, a local skin care and beauty store, specializes in Korean beauty, a long-lasting trend in the westernized world that may provide you with everything you need to help your skin this winter. Poppy & Daisy is a family-owned store that sources beauty and skin care products right out of Korea. After being open for only a couple of years, Poppy & Daisy already has a cult-like following in Morgantown. Their top-selling products are the Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence and Honey Cera Cream, which often sell out due to high demand. Their products have a wide range in price, making some items very accessible. “I love to use the Honey Cera cream for my face,” said WVU student Tatum Storey.

Inside Poppy & Daisy. Sarah Bond, daughter of the owner, is in the background. “This face lotion is the best lotion I’ve ever used. The cream is really moist and keeps my face moisturized for a couple days.” In the winter, your skin
needs some extra tender love and care. This climate can be very harsh on the skin; it’s no surprise that a temperature of seven degrees does not provide the makings of happy
skin. Fortunately, there are ways to combat dry skin by adding moisture that won’t break you out. “For winter, right now, we suggest using a slightly longer
routine, of course, because you’re going to be not as hydrated through the winter, so suggesting maybe five steps instead of three,” said Sarah Bond, daughter of Poppy & Daisy’s owner. These skin care steps consist of toner, serum, cream and a mask when you’re dry. Simplifying your routine to just hydrating and cleansing could work, too, if you’re happy with your skin. “I use the sheet masks in the winter to keep my skin hydrated,” said Morgantown resident Ivy Yost. “I have acne-prone skin, and I have found drying out my pores isn’t the route for me. Poppy & Daisy’s serums and sheet masks have clarified and brightened my skin complexion.” Korean beauty is known globally for it’s innovative ingredients, specialization in skin care and unique packaging. According to CNN, “The Korean beauty market is among the top 10 in the world, with an estimated worth of over 13.1 billion in sales in 2018, accord-
ing to Mintel, a global market intelligence agency.” Therefore, Korean beauty products need to be well-researched and developed in order to compete in a multi-billion dollar industry. “Korean beauty has just been over there forever,” Bond said. “Parents have been teaching their kids, men or women to use sunscreen, use an essence every day, a toner, make sure you cleanse your face with specific products, and they’ve been doing this for years now, way before it was a trend.” “I think the reason why it’s recently become a huge thing is probably the innovation and the really competitive market over there, so they have so many different companies,” Bond said. Poppy & Daisy is hosting “Honey Skin and Hot Cocoa” on Feb. 10 where they’ll be focusing on a daytime skincare routine. This event will give you the inside scoop on how to achieve “honey skin.”

A personality test that actually tests your personality BY CODY NESPOR CULTURE EDITOR
Some of the most popular posts on social media are personality quizzes. We have all seen them, and we have probably all taken them. Taking a test that tells you about yourself is inherently enticing; we all like reading about ourselves. Whether it’s our Myers-Briggs Type, what Harry Potter house we would belong to or even what kind of pie we would be, we always assume that there is some merit to these tests, some sort of method behind the madness that will tell us a bit more about ourselves. How many times have you read
the results to one of these quizzes and thought, “That sounds exactly like me”? Last year, however, FiveThirtyEight.com found that most, if not all, personality quizzes are based on junk science. Basically, all the questions and results have no real rhyme or reason and they do not really tell us anything useful. There was, however, one that checked out. Developed by Christopher Soto at Colby College in Maine, the Big Five test was based on real psychological research and gave real results. It tests people in five areas and places them on a scale from one to 100 for each one, not preset categories or groupings. FiveThir-
tyEight went one step further and divided each of those five categories into three subtraits. This test gives you scores for each subtrait and in each category. You can also compare your scores against others. So if you have a friend or coworker who loves personality quizzes and always makes you take them, or if you are that person, give this one a try and compare scores that science says actually matter.

OPINION Staff Shorts are tidbit writings by our editorial board. They’re mostly meant to be light-hearted, but we sometimes touch on more serious, important topics. They aim to express the many student voices of the University.
Belligerent drunks should stop smashing glass Take a walk in Morgantown after an alcohol-infused Friday night. You’ll see a lot. On the same sidewalks in which students were emerging to-and-from nightclubs and house parties hours earlier, smashed beer bottles are spread across the pavement. First off, this is an issue in itself. However, with the amount of feet (or paws, rather) that grace the sidewalks of Morgantown on a daily basis, this is an even greater area of concern. Many students have pets. The sidewalks of Morgantown are not safe for them, nor the residents that live here. Morgantown is a college town after all, and many of those that reside in a college town will act as college kids do. Despite that, it isn’t an excuse to act like an irresponsible idiot.

No one wants to step on this.
Free community college bill shouldn’t be a pissing contest The West Virginia Senate unanimously passed a free community and technical college bill on Thursday. While the bill would still need to pass the House and get signed by the governor, it’s a big step for the state’s youth. West Virginia has a graduation rate of 90 percent, according to the state Department of Education. West Virginia also has the nation’s fourth-worst poverty rate, according to PolitiFact. These factors combine to highlight why post-secondary assistance for West Virginians is certainly nothing to frown about. One of the eligibility requirements for the program is that those enrolled must pay for and pass drug tests before each semester. This is not a requirement for the Promise Scholarship, which provides $4,750 per year at eligible institutions.
THURSDAY JANUARY 24, 2019

This isn’t apple juice. Only 3 percent of those who have the Promise Scholarship went to public community colleges in 2016-17, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail. It is not fair that those receiving assistance for community and technical school have to take a drug test while those who go to larger schools with the Promise Scholarship
do not. It indicates a bias by those in the legislature against those who choose to advance their careers through community and technical college. Peeing in a cup should not be an eligibility requirement. Besides, should smoking marijuana really eliminate a student from the opportunities created by this bill?

Fraternity life at WVU is an experience like no other SUBMITTED BY DOUGLAS ERNEST JR. During this time of the semester, you will start to see a lot of advertisements, social media posts and people out promoting their specific fraternities on campus. It is normal to think to yourself, “What is the deal with fraternities and why are these guys so passionate about this?” Well, hopefully I can shed some light on what exactly a fraternity experience has to offer at WVU and how you can get involved if you decide it interests you. According to Webster’s Dictionary, the definition of a fraternity is simply, “the state or feeling of friendship and mutual support within a group.” Some synonyms include brotherhood, fellowship, kinship, friendship and community. In whichever fraternity you decide to join, you will quickly realize how true that definition is. It is a group of brothers united in a common bond that will quickly become your family away from home. Together you create lifelong memories and take pride in bettering your community. It is truly an experience like no other.
In joining a fraternity, you will have opportunities to excel in leadership positions, networking, social development, academic success and create brotherhood that will last a lifetime. You will also have the chance to participate in community service, philanthropy and campus wide events such as homecoming, Greek week and others. Members of our Greek community are also a part of other organizations and have made an impact across campus. We have members who have been elected student body president and vice president, Homecoming King and Queen, won Mr. and Mrs. Mountaineer, chosen to be the Mountaineer Mascot and went on to be high-achieving individuals. Our presence on campus extends to every major and almost every student organization. Apart from current student members, we also have fraternity alumni who went on to do amazing things. We have alumni who own professional sports teams, run Fortune 500 companies and have achieved elected offices. Alumni love to come back to campus and give back to their community. The potential network
you can create with these alumni and your fellow chapter brothers is invaluable. Because of this, a lot of these alumni credit a lot of their successes to their experience as an active member of their chapter during college. If you are interested in becoming a member of our amazing community, we encourage you to come out to rush week and check out each of our nine fraternities to see what they have to offer. All information regarding rush week can be found on our twitter account, @ WVUFraternities. Make sure to follow the account for updates in the coming days. If you have any questions, please contact our IFC President, Calvin Komiske (cakomiske@mix.wvu.edu) or our IFC VP of Recruitment, Douglas Ernest Jr (dbernest@mix.wvu.edu), respectfully. I look forward to meeting you during rush week on Jan. 27 - Feb. 2 and we hope that you decide to go Greek. Douglas Ernest Jr. is the VP of Recruitment for the WVU Interfraternity Council (IFC), president of Order of Omega Greek Honorary and the Greek life liaison for SGA.

WVU travels to Rocky Top to face Tennessee BY ANDREA WARNER SPORTS WRITER
MEN’S BASKETBALL The Mountaineers captured their first Big 12 win last Saturday against previously No. 7 Kansas. This thrilling victory was supposed to carry winning momentum into the rest of their conference play. A disappointing loss to unranked Baylor halted that momentum. Makai Mason and the Bears trampled the Mountaineers in an 85-73 win in Morgantown on Monday. Mason led Baylor, putting up 29 points with four assists and four rebounds. Mario Kegler trailed him with 18 points, seven rebounds and a single assist. Baylor dominated the first half of play, shooting 51.4 percent from the floor while the Mountaineers had a field goal percentage of 33.3. As the second half rolled on, WVU got into a scoring rhythm, coming within nine of the Bears, but that was the closest Bob Huggins’ team got. James “Beetle” Bolden led the Mountaineers, scoring 22 points with two rebounds and

(17-1) are currently on a 13game winning streak since their loss to Kansas early in the season. Tennessee came up with a big win against formerly No. 1 Gonzaga, 76-73. This win vaulted the Volunteers into
the top three of the Associated Press rankings. Their leading scorer, forward Grant Williams, will be one to watch. This season, he is averaging just more than 20 points per game and 7.5 rebounds per game. Williams
earned himself SEC Player of the Year for the 2017-18 season. Another player that might give WVU some trouble is guard Admiral Schofield, who is averaging 16.7 points per game with 6.4 rebounds per
game. Last season, Tennessee ended with a 26-9 record, winning the SEC Championship. The Vols made it to the third round of the SEC Tournament, taking a 77-72 loss to the University of Kentucky. Tennessee earned a threeseed in the NCAA Tournament, where they made it to the second round, and were eliminated by Loyola-Chicago in a close 63-62 loss. The 2017-18 season was head coach Rick Barnes’ third year with the program and, he guided Tennessee to the fourth-most wins in program history. This game will be a part of the sixth annual Big 12/SEC Challenge. Last year, the SEC beat the Big 12 six games to four for the first time since the Challenge’s inception. The Mountaineers own a 1-4 record in the Big 12/SEC Challenge with their only win coming in 2017 against Texas A&M. WVU has never won on the road in their five seasons participating in the Challenge. Tip-off from Thompson-Boling Arena will be at 4 p.m on Saturday.
Lucky Rudd shining in Pardee’s absence BY COLE MCCLANAHAN ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL As the West Virginia women’s basketball team continues to nurse injuries, it has left the the Mountaineers searching for answers. WVU (13-5, 4-3 Big 12) currently has just eight players in its rotation and is struggling because of it, especially in its 32-point loss to Baylor on Sunday. The Mountaineers are most notably without four-year starter Katrina Pardee, as she
continues to be out with an ankle injury. Pardee’s absence has created a hole in West Virginia’s system, a hole that they’ve learned to play with, but still one that is forcing the Mountaineers to change how they play. “I think we’ve improved, but we have to reinvent ourselves all the time,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey. “We started out the season with a lot more players and then we had injuries. And here recently, Katrina went down so we had to reinvent ourselves again. “It seems like we just keep
changing our offense, our defense, based on the personnel we have, and it’s hard to become consistent that way,” he said. Pardee was key to how WVU played the past four years and it culminated in her averaging 31.8 minutes court time per game this season, but, without her, it has forced the Mountaineers to find new players to fill those minutes. Although West Virginia suffered an embarrassing defeat to Baylor, Carey might have found that new player in junior guard Lucky Rudd. Rudd has contributed off the bench all season for West
Virginia, averaging 7.3 points and 2.1 rebounds per game, but she is now in the starting lineup and playing her most minutes of the season. Before Pardee’s injury, Rudd was averaging 24.7 minutes of play per game, but with Pardee out, Rudd has upped it to 37.5 minutes per game. “She understands the game,” Carey said on Rudd. “She plays extremely hard. She can score the ball, but she also plays extremely hard and plays within the system.” Rudd is a larger part of the Mountaineers’ offense now as she is replacing Pardee and has increased both her points
and shot attempts per game because of it. In the seven games Rudd played with Pardee, Rudd had just one double-digit scoring game, but now, in West Virginia’s four games without Pardee, Rudd has already had three games in double-figures. With her new playing time Rudd has increased her scoring by six points per game averaging 13.8 points per game as a member of the WVU starting lineup. Her increase in scoring is a reflection of her boosted shot attempts, though, as she has upped her average from 5.3 to 8.3 shots per game.
Rudd was even the Mountaineers’ leading scorer in their win against Iowa State on Jan. 16 when she finished with 22 points. Even though Rudd’s role has drastically expanded in the last few weeks, it will continue to grow as she gains confidence and Carey is able to trust her more. With more trust from her head coach will come increased responsibility and more scoring chances, which will help even more in her attempt to keep the starting job once Pardee returns.

While everybody knows that head coaches in college sports are paid fairly comfortably, many college students don’t realize how much money is actually involved from top to bottom. WVU spends nearly $9.5 million on head coaches salaries alone. That doesn’t include incentives, budgets for their staffs or perks. From football and men’s basketball to tennis and rowing, this is how each of the 15 head coaches’ salaries stack up against each other.

Wrestling team looks to rebound from skid BY JARED SERRE
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
WRESTLING In a season that has not gone its way, the West Virginia wrestling team will look to make strides in the right direction as it participates in three contests this weekend. Unusually, the team will first travel to Orem, Utah, and take on Cal State Bakersfield and Utah Valley at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m, respectively, on Friday. Then, the team will travel to Laramie, Wyoming and battle the No. 11 Wyoming Cowboys on Sunday. “We’re trying to save the travel time of going back and forth,” said head coach Tim Flynn on Tuesday. “We’ll have to be careful with working them out out there and making sure that they’re ready to go because we don’t have many trips like that.” Despite two rough showings in which they only scored six combined points between consecutive matchups with Oklahoma State and Iowa State, the coaching staff believes that there are benefits to losing — especially for a rebuilding program. “The biggest thing you learn is [that] our team’s not at that level yet,” Flynn said about the team’s recent matchups against top teams

there have been players who stepped up and tried to right the ship. WVU’s lone victories against Oklahoma State and Iowa State were thanks to sophomore Nick Kiussis, who currently has a 16-5 record this season. The Mountaineers have
also been getting a successful season out of redshirt senior Christian Monserrat, who is 15-5 on the season. Even with the team’s best efforts, it has been held without a victory since Dec. 30. While some may say that the Mountaineers are due for a
victory, they will face an uphill battle this weekend. “I think they’re holding up well,” Flynn said about the mindset of the team. “Sometimes it’s hard to stay positive when you’re taking some losses. You’ve got to remember there’s kids that — they
didn’t lose a whole lot in high school. “You go through the Big 12 when you’re young and you don’t have a win in a month or something, so it takes a little bit to keep them positive and keep them going,” he said.
Undefeated Mountaineers welcome No. 8 Navy on Saturday BY SEAN TANSKI STAFF WRITER
RIFLE The No. 2 West Virginia rifle team will face No. 8 Navy on
Saturday at 10 a.m. After finishing the 201819 fall schedule undefeated, the Mountaineers started the spring season right where they left off and picked up a win over No. 7 Ole Miss this past Sunday. The Mountaineers (11-0,
6-0 in the Great American Rifle Conference) enter Saturday’s matchup with a 4702.25 average — scoring averages of 2331.125 in smallbore and 2371.125 in air rifle. Navy (8-4, 4-2 GARC) won a matchup against North Car-
olina State last week, who the Mountaineers defeated on Nov. 17 to conclude their fall season. Coming into the match against Navy, the Mountaineers are 27-8 all-time against the Midshipmen with their last victory coming exactly
a year to the day. On Jan. 26, 2018, the Mountaineers won a close match with a final score of 4720-4693. The Mountaineers look to add to that win total and continue what has been another impressive season under head
coach Jon Hammond. After Saturday’s matchup, the Mountaineers will rest a week and then resume action for their regular season finale against No. 3 Kentucky — the 2018 National Rifle Champions.
