A day of protests: student activists react to national, political events

BY KAYLA ASBURY CITY EDITOR

Members of the Sierra Student Coalition and the WVU Chapter of the Food Recovery Network gathered in front of the Mountainlair Thursday morning to rally for scientific research.

“I came here because I care about the earth,” said Merrin Ren, a political science student.

“It’s in jeopardy right now because our government is making some really bad decisions right now.”

More than 30 protesters gathered by signs that read, “Mountaineers Stand for Science.”

The ralliers chanted “Scott Pruitt, Don’t Do It,” referring to Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency nominee.

“As we have already seen with the new administration, there’s not only a threat to scientific research in general, but

also the fair spread of information and allowing open rhetoric,” said Abby Foster, member of the WVU Food Recovery Network. “As a University, we need to make sure we are championing for information, and that we’re all aware that scientific research shouldn’t just be bought away with differing political ideas.”

The Food Recovery Network and the WVU SSC presented a petition to University President E. Gordon Gee, with three pages of signatures.

“We are petitioning West Virginia University to release a statement regarding our country’s new administration’s responsibility to acknowledge scientific fact related to climate change, protection of lands, water and air, and the ability for students and researchers to conduct and publish scientific reports for the public to access,” said Ben Kessler, member of the

SSC in a Facebook post.

Hyland Markle, a mechanical engineering student, said people who cared about climate change needed to start advocating.

“Here’s a fact: the climate’s changing right now, and if we don’t do something about it, there might be a day when other people don’t get to see (snow),” Markle said.

“We really want to make sure during this time when people are questioning researchers and federal agencies’ validity, that we make sure that as a higher education institution, WVU is at the forefront of saying that (research) should not be silenced at the federal level,” said Hilary Kinney, co-founder of Food Recovery Network at WVU. “I’m just here because I care about the planet,” said Angel Mullen, a sophomore political science student.

Students, WVU staff and community members gathered in front of Woodburn Hall Thursday afternoon to protest the executive order on immigration in the second rally of the day.

On Friday, Jan. 27, President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning travelers from seven Muslim countries from entering the United States.

Not long after, federal judges issued a temporary hold on the order until the language can be clarified and both sides can fully address their concerns.

Thursday night, a federal appeals court announced the order will remained blocked.

“Many students and families from these countries have built their livelihoods in the U.S.,” said Gelneesh Golpayeg-

“We work to strengthen and enrich the communities that have accepted us, that we have become a part of… This ban affects the communities we support and the nation we have joined.”

-Gelneesh Golpayegani ani. “We work to strengthen and enrich the communities that have accepted us, that we have become a part of… This ban affects the communities we support and the nation we have joined.”

Golpayegani’s goal was to shed a goal on the injustice of the executive order.

“Most of us affected by the visa and immigration ban have a simple message,” Golpayegani said. “We want to be able to continue our studies without having to choose between our future and our families.”

At WVU, at least 127 students and their families stood to be affected by the ban.

Mac McIntyre, WVU student body vice president, asked that the entire Mountaineer community treat the impacted individuals with respect.

“Now, more than ever, our international community faces unique threats as the lines blur between exclusion and inclusion,” McIntyre said. “We stand firmly in the belief that we must uphold our University’s mission to build a diverse and inclusive campus.”

The protest served as an open forum for those attending to share stories and messages of encouragement.

Farris celebrates 26th anniversary at WVU

BY AMY PRATT STAFF WRITER

Corey Farris, the dean of student life celebrated his 26th anniversary at WVU this year.

Farris graduated from WVU, then attended Ohio State University for graduate school.

Working at the University of Iowa for several years, and returned to WVU in 1991.

In his 26 years, Farris has been the coordinator of orientation, worked in new student services, in the resident faculty leader program, with student conduct, on the management side of housing and is currently the dean of student life.

As dean of student life, Farris works to plan the 150 hours of the week students spend outside of class.

Farris noted some changes that have occurred between 1991 and 2017.

Morgantown and WVU have grown, but Farris said the biggest change he’s noticed is in student engagement.

“I think our students have become much more engaged with their community,” Farris said. “There’s a whole lot more community service. I think the

students are more caring about each other and they’re not afraid to speak when there’s an issue that bothers them, and they’re not afraid to ask for help. I’ve seen a lot of positive change for our students.”.

Farris said students are also more engaged in internships and preparing for their future careers.

His favorite part of the job is when former students contact him to thank him for the guidance he offered or the help he gave.

“Those to me are the most memorable moments,” Farris said. “That’s why I’m here. I’m trying to make a path easier and help students be successful. Those are the things that stand out because I had an impact on a person.”

Jason Broadwater, director of communications and marketing for student life, has known Farris for 10 years.

Broadwater said Farris always pushes his employees to be their best and tries to be very in-touch with the students.

“He’s a good listener and he’s smart. I haven’t met anyone here who knows as much about WVU as Corey. I think

that comes from him working in so many different capacities,” Broadwater said. “He tries to make himself incredibly accessible. He’s probably one of the most accessible administrators I’ve ever worked with. I think he’s genuinely interested in WVU students.”

John Bolt, senior director of communications in University Relations, has worked with Farris since 2009.

“I don’t know when Corey sleeps. He is everywhere all the time, looking out after students’ best interests…” Bolt said. “He would be at FallFest late at night and then the next morning up bright and early.

On the weekends, he’d be out running the campus.”

Farris enjoys working with the students and helping in the lives of the next generation of leaders and innovators.

“It’s exciting to know that I’m working with students who in 10 or 20 years, when I’m retired from WVU, I’m going to be reading about them and what they’ve done,” Farris said. “That’s the exciting thing—that I’m having some small part of tomorrow’s leaders. I’m excited to see what impact they’re going to have.”

Sound bites from the State of the State: West Virginia in Justice-speak

OPINION | 5

Major points of Jim Justice’s State of the State

BY DA STAFF

BY BRANDON RIDGELY

With no teleprompters, an achy knee and sweating profusely, Gov. Jim Justice delivered on his promise of a “plain talk” State of the State address this week. Here are some excerpts:

Jim Justice took on no easy task Wednesday night addressing a state roughly $400 million in debt, and facing a decreasing population, the second highest rate of obesity and the most drug overdose deaths in the country. He laid out a plan to raise more than $450 million in taxes, and an alternate plan that saw almost as much in cuts should the revenues not be supported.

On the state of West Virginia: “We’ve got an 18 carat dog’s mess, don’t we? We do. I didn’t create the dog’s mess. I have inherited the dog’s mess.”

On a business and occupation tax: “Now I am telling you: If you don’t do this, you’re dead. You’re dead beyond belief.”

On generating revenue by raising DMV fees and gasoline taxes: “Honest to Pete. This is the 800-pound gorilla in the room. Not me.”

On eliminating testing in schools: “We are testing our kids t-totally to death. For what?

Think about it. If we were knocking it out of the park— you see, I’m all results oriented. If we were knocking it out of the park you could argue with me we’re doing the right thing. But for crying out loud, we’re dead last. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out. We got to be doing something wrong.”

On improving schools:

OPINION EDITOR

Jim Justice addresses the crowd at the 2016 WV Gubernatorial Debate.

“If we could create an education mecca in West Virginia, honest to Pete, people would come and you couldn’t beat them away.”

On veterans: “Do we really take care of them? I mean for crying out loud, we can’t even maintain their cemetery.”

On lowering severance taxes on coal to increase jobs and revenue for coal companies: “But I am telling you, I am not a hog. I eat too much, but I am not a hog.”

On tourism advertising: “For crying out loud, every time you turn the TV on

it says, ‘Come to Michigan.’ I said in the inaugural address, ‘Who in the world wants to go to Michigan?’ I mean really?

You know, what if I called up tomorrow and said, ‘I tell you what let’s do, let’s get a bus and let’s go to Detroit.” But do we market us? We don’t.

We don’t.”

On coal mining: “Coal has been so vital to us. It’s been unbelievable.

We should never forget who brung us to the dance. We should try with all our soul, with all in us, to try to help get our miners back to work.”

On President Trump: “I truly believe that Don-

ald Trump will do all he possibly can as our president to help West Virginians. He will. He’s called me all kinds of times and his son Eric has called all kinds of times and now Don is probably going to come and want to come and go turkey hunting with me.

Not Donald. Because Donald is not a turkey hunter.”

On the future: “I really believe there’s a rocket ship ride at our fingertips. A ride like you cannot possibly imagine. I would say to you: Let’s don’t just try to figure out how to get by. Let’s cannonball right in the middle of the pool.”

How does Justice plan to gather this money?

—More than $30 million in cuts, the largest portion of which coming from WVU. —DMV fees to be raised to $50 from $30 —2/10 of a percent tax introduced, functionally similar to a B&O tax —Ten cent per-gallon tax introduced for gas —$8 from everyone in the state (through DMV fees) in exchange for being able to freely pass through whatever road is to be tolled (still undecided, but Justice named the turnpike as an option).

—A 5 percent construction severance tax.

With these changes, Justice laid out big plans: —Income from this would be pooled together for investments to fuel major future road work. This road work

could potentially create 48,000 jobs said Justice, and could bring major improvements to the tourism industry. It would also be a great way for our miners to re-enter the work force and repurpose their skillset.

—Justice took aim first at education, offering a 2 percent raise to teachers in his original budget plan. Justice also declared intention to eliminate excess bureaucracy in education, attack the drug problem with harsher sentencing and potentially more treatment facilities, as well as eliminating Smarter Balance in favor of ACT testing for schools.

Whether you agree with the methods or not, Justice has made his vision for the future of West Virginia very clear. And that vision involves moving forward today, not tomorrow.

Adventure WV offering spring break trips

BY PATRICK ORSAGOS CORRESPONDENT

Adventure West Virginia, WVU’s outdoor orientation program, is offering two trips to students this spring break.

The first is a trip to the Florida Keys that will run from March 3-11. While on the trip, participants will kayak, snorkel, swim and camp in The Florida Keys, Bahia Honda and Blue Springs.

The second is a trip to Pisgah National Park in North Carolina. Participants on this trip will backpack, climb and camp in the Table Rock and Linville Gorge area of the national park.

These two trips are a small piece of what WVU’s Adventure WV program is all about.

Adventure WV trip

leader Katie Lameka provided insight on what the orientation trips attempt to provide to students.

“Our goals for participants are obviously that they’re having fun, staying safe and are provided with as much information, so that you don’t come in to college blind,” Lameka said.

According to the Adventure WV mission statement, the orientation trips are created to develop adventure education programming for students of all levels, support adjustment to college life, retention and career success by assisting student development in self-knowledge, teamwork and leadership skills.

Adventure WV has designed multiple types of trips, so there are options for students.

“There is one Soar trip for sophomore re-orien-

tation, one trip for transfer students, and multiple trips for incoming freshman,” Lameka said.

One of the freshman orientation trips, the Mountaineer Quest, is a campbased, peer-led, five-day program that prepares incoming students for life at WVU and in WV, according to the Adventure WV website.

Freshman Sarah Snider went on the Mountaineer Quest trip in the summer of 2016.

“I had friends before college even started,” Snider said. “We hung out the first week of college and we still hang out now.”

Snider said the trip eased her transition to college.

“It definitely helps students feel more comfortable coming into school where a lot of students otherwise are coming in knowing no one,” Snider said.

CAROLINE NICHOLAS / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Internal frame backpacks are available to rent at the Outdoor Recreation Center. Costs are $4 for one day, $7 for two days and $19 for a week.

Other trips include Wilderness WV, a backpacking-based program, Habitat WV, a 6-day service project partnered with Habitat for Humanity and

Odyssey, a 6-day trip involving rock climbing and whitewater rafting.

Freshman Elizabeth Crawford attended an orientation trip in the summer

of 2016.

“The trip challenged me in ways I had not thought possible,” Crawford said, “I think everyone should go on an Adventure trip.”

International Soccer Club showcases student-athletes from around the globe

BY MOLLY TITUS STAFF WRITER

Every WVU student has passed by the Student Rec Center practice fields at one point or another and witnessed the large crowds of students playing soccer.

But what most people don’t know is that those students are a part of something bigger.

The WVU International Students Soccer Club, founded in 2014, is home

to more than forty members who represent more than fifteen countries around the world. Members of the group range from freshman to senior WVU professors; the majority are graduate students.

Peng Zheng, current president and graduate student here at WVU, describes the club as a place of support where people can find friendships while enjoying the sport. “(The club) impacts hun-

dreds of both domestic and international students and helps them build new friendships with students from different cultures,” Zheng said.

Members gather every Saturday for weekly practices at the Rec field. These practices are held throughout the year to ensure that students who stay in Morgantown during the University’s breaks still have a group of people to celebrate holidays and events with.

Along with practices, the club also competes in multiple different tournaments throughout the year including the East-Atlantic Soccer Tournament, Mylan Park Soccer Tournament and the Mid-Atlantic Soccer Tournament. The group plays against multiple different opponents including the University of Pittsburgh, which it has an upcoming game with this spring.

Club members also plan group activities together

aside from soccer. Zheng and the other members try to schedule special events to help new members feel more welcome and also to celebrate graduating students.

Javier Cabrera, a graduate student from Spain, describes the club as “not very serious, but also (can be) competitive.”

“We try to have fun and make friends, and you can practice with people from other cultures. I love that,”

Cabrera said.

For Cabrera, the club isn’t only about playing soccer. It is about being a part of a team, and the close friends you make along the way.

If you’re interested in becoming a member of the club, you can email Peng Zheng at pzheng1@ mix.wvu.edu to sign up for emails or visit the website at http://intersoccerclub.studentorgs.wvu.edu for more information.

Student-made jewelry design benefits Planned Parenthood

BY ALAINIA CONRAD FASHION COLUMNIST

If you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day gift that’s made with love, check out WVU’s own Erin Elizabeth Designs.

Erin Doran, a senior fashion design student from Downington, Pa., is raising money for the reproductive health organization Planned Parenthood through the sale of handmade Valentine’s Day chokers.

The chokers, made of lace ribbon with a heart design, are sold by Doran for $15.

For the sale of each Valentine’s Day choker, Doran will donate $5 to Planned Parenthood. She hopes the sale of her chokers will “help spread awareness, love and kindness.”

For the perfect Valentine’s Day look, style your Erin Elizabeth choker with an off-the-shoulder red romper, such as the “Woven Waisted Bardot Romper with Flutter Sleeve” from ASOS. Pair it with a long pink peacoat or white faux fur jacket to stay warm in the February weather.

Doran has been making jewelry for about a year and has many other designs for sale in addition to the Valentine’s Day chokers, including leather cord and sterling silver necklaces embellished with decora-

tive beads and stones. She was inspired to make the Valentine’s Day chokers to benefit Planned Parenthood after a conversation with her mother about getting involved and helping others.

Many fashion brands have pledged to donate proceeds to Planned Parenthood as the organization faces political opposition and defunding. The Council of Fashion Designers of America recently announced its Fashion Stands with Planned Parenthood campaign, and will be distributing pins with the slogan during New York Fashion Week.

“Planned Parenthood (is) an organization that holds a positive impact on my health as well as five million women, men and children worldwide,” Doran said.

To purchase a Valentine’s Day choker, or some of Doran’s other jewelry designs, contact her via Instagram (@erinelizabethdesigns) or visit Latch Boutique in the Seneca Center on Beechurst Avenue.

For more information on how to get involved with Planned Parenthood on campus, follow the WVU Students for Reproductive Justice on Twitter and Instagram (@wvusfrj) and visit the web page at studentorgs.wvu.edu/organizations/ students-for-reproductive-justice.

Black History Month

Rosa Parks

Civil rights activist Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Alabama.

Her refusal to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery, Alabama bus spurred a city-wide boycott.

The city of Montgomery had no choice but to lift the law requiring segregation on public buses. Rosa Parks received many accolades during her lifetime, including the NAACP’s highest award.

Mountaineers look to win rematch with K-State SPORTS WRITER

MEN’S BASKETBALL In the midst of a quick turnaround, the No. 13 WVU basketball team will shift its attention to the Kansas State Wildcats (16-8, 5-6) on Saturday.

The Mountaineers (194,7-4), who are coming off a road win at Oklahoma, are back at WVU Coliseum in hopes to exact revenge on the visiting Wildcats.

On Jan. 21, WVU gave up its double-digit lead to Kansas State. As a result, the Wildcats gave the Mountaineers their first losing-streak of the season.

In that matchup, turnovers were the difference.

WVU turned the ball over 23 times—the most all season. To have a shot at topping the Wildcats, the Mountaineers recognize they can’t beat themselves up.

“We threw it to the wrong

KEYS TO THE GAME Play defense like Wednesday- The vaunted Press Virginia defense reappeared after struggling in the first few minutes against Oklahoma, forcing 23 turnovers, leading to 27 Mountaineer points. Jevon Carter helped lead the charge, tallying four steals and limiting Oklahoma star Jordan Woodard to six points on 2-of-11 shooting.

ROB RAGO / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Tarik Phillip (left) and Head Coach Bob Huggins talk on the sidelines during WVU’s 85-69 victory over the Kansas Jayhawks on Jan. 24. sas State’s depth of scoring was quite alarming. Not much has changed over the course of five games as the Wildcats still possess four players that average double-digits in scoring— Iwundu included.

Take a look at the Big 12 scoring leaders and one would find the quartet of Iwundu, Barry Brown, D.J Johnson and Kamau Stokes.

All registered at least 10 points against the Mountaineers in January.

“They’re much improved offensively,” Huggins said.

“They’re shooting the ball so much better. I think D.J Johnson is the most-improved guy in the league.

He’s a force.”

At 6-foot-9, Johnson has become what the Wildcats needed in the paint. His time at Kansas State is a revival of sorts after spending much of 2014-15 rehabbing a foot injury. Now, the senior has developed into one of the top forwards in the confer-

Tennis in search of third win, takes on Buffalo

BY MATTHEW GOLD CORRESPONDENT

TENNIS This weekend, the Mountaineer tennis team will travel away from Morgantown to take on Buffalo.

West Virginia is coming off of a weekend split, with an impressive 4-3 win against VCU

and handing the Rams their first loss along the way. On Saturday, WVU lost a tough one against William and Mary.

We were able to pull through in a few tough instances,” said WVU head coach Miha Lisac after the VCU match.

Shaker, Goetz and Choo all picked up victories on the singles courts.

The University of Buffalo has

only played in one match this spring, defeating St. Bonaventure by a score of 7-0. Its second match, which was scheduled for last weekend against Youngstown State, was canceled.

West Virginia will look to pick up its third win on the season come. With some tough out-of-conference opponents on the upcoming slate and with

conference play coming quick around the corner, the ladies will need to play some good tennis in the upcoming weeks.

It will be important for them to build on the positives and fix the negatives so they will have a strong conference season, starting in mid- March. All of this will start with a strong showing this weekend against a talented Buffalo team.

More production from the starters- WVU’s starters struggled to get much going offensively Wednesday, combining for 37 points on 12-of-33 shooting; Nate Adrian was the only one of those five to score in double-figures.

Iwundu has stepped up and taken a dynamic approach in the latest run.

He currently is second on the Wildcats in scoring and leads the team defensive—a category the Mountaineers have been underperforming in.

In the past two games, the Mountaineers have been outrebounded 67-48. While Iwundu poses a threat, WVU contained the senior in the previous meeting when he shot 54 percent, but saw little luck in three-point range.
