Suspected fugitive Eleven people served arrest warrants for dead by U.S. involvement in Spruce Street snow day riot shot Marshals Service in Morgantown
BY JOE SEVERINO NEWS EDITOR Eleven individuals have been served arrest warrants over their involvement in the Spruce Street riots on Feb. 1. The individuals named in a release from Morgantown Police, eight of which who are listed as residents of the Sigma Nu fraternity house and one as a resident of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house, are as follows: • Bauer Cipressi, 21, of 617 North Spruce St. and Huntington, Maryland, is charged with open container and disorderly conduct and is pending arraignment. • Chad Harper, age unknown, of 617 North Spruce St. and Brecksville, Ohio, is charged with open container and disorderly conduct and is pending arraignment. • Darius McKenzie, 20, of Voorhees, New Jersey, is charged with malicious burning and disorderly conduct and is pending arrest. • Drew Spearko, age unknown, of 617 North Spruce St. and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is charged with
STAFF REPORTS
The bill can also come back through a special session, or if the Senate would vote to bring the bill into a Committee of the Whole and pass it. WVU officials had expected this bill to pass this session.
One person was shot and killed by U.S. Marshals in Morgantown on Wednesday. “The U.S. Marshals, Northern District of West Virginia, was involved in a line-of-duty fatal shooting today, March 6, 2019 at approximately 12:15 pm. The Marshals were attempting to arrest a suspect wanted for the attempted murder of a police officer,” Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Alex Neville wrote in an email. Neville did not provide the name of the fugitive. “No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident,” he wrote. “The Morgantown Police Department is the lead investigative agency on this incident. The U.S. Marshals Service will also conduct an internal review after the Morgantown PD completes its investigation. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Marshals Service will not release the names of deputy marshals involved in shooting incidents, until the conclusion of all investigations surrounding the incident.” The suspected fugitive, who was armed with a handgun, attempted to flee from the Marshals, according to a Morgantown news release. During a foot pursuit, the suspect fired the handgun. At least one member of the U.S. Marshals Service returned fire. The suspect was found dead at the scene.

Campus carry voted down in Senate Judiciary Committee BY JOE SEVERINO NEWS EDITOR The campus carry bill is dead, for a second time. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 9-7 against the bill Tuesday night, which marks the second time
the campus carry bill has been killed in the last two weeks. Sens. Charles Clements, R-Wetzel, and Ryan Weld, R-Brooke, broke party lines and joined the seven Democrats on the committee to vote against the bill. The bill, which would prevent the Board of Governors from prohibit-
ing concealed carry of firearms by students, can still come back to life, again, if Judiciary were to vote a second time. However, the end of the legislative session is Saturday, which means the Senate would have to pass the bill out of Judiciary, then the Senate Finance Committee and finally make a full vote on the floor.

WVU NAACP says University’s investigation into Alpha Phi not enough BY ALAYNA FULLER ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR The WVU chapter of the NAACP issued a statement on Wednesday to the University disapproving the way WVU handled its investigation into the hanging baby doll, which had a blackened face, found at the Alpha Phi sorority house. On Sunday night, WVU issued a statement to the DA saying that the baby doll incident “was not one of intended black face.” “Although the investigation found it not to be intentional black face, the incident is very offensive to African American students due to the history that lies behind blackface and lynching,” WVU NAACP President Stephanie Buggs wrote in the letter. Buggs wrote that the requirements given to Alpha Phi by WVU and the investigation itself were not sufficient enough to make significant change. “Although the University has spoken up about the situation, it is not promised that there will be real change to prevent this from happening again,” Buggs wrote.

The letter also referenced former Theta Chi member Menos Hiras, who last year used multiple racial slurs in a viral video taken at Whisper Nightclub. Hiras has since left the University. “Although the University is speaking on these events, actual change is not being
implemented onto its students,” Buggs wrote. “If situations like this are handled when they first happen, it will work to prevent them from happening again. The way that the University handles situations like this needs to be critically examined to find solutions to prevent this from
reoccurring.” Buggs finished the letter by saying: • University officials need to implement diversity training into student organizations, including Greek life and into First-Year seminar classes to teach students about key concepts related
to identity, bias, power, privilege and oppression, help them to understand the benefits of being part of a diverse community, and to develop skills related to ally behavior, self-care, and creating inclusive spaces. • University officials need to revise the Campus Student Conduct Code to not only address discrimination, but also racially insensitive actions such as blackface, lynching and the use of derogatory racial terms.
• A strong reminder be given to all students, saying that this type of behavior will not be tolerated and is not accepted. • University officials need to provide timely updates on the process of the above to ensure that this problem is not swept under the rug. When asked if the University wanted to give a response to the NAACP statement, Bolt wrote in an email, “Not tonight.”

Campus cont. from p.1 “If I had to guess, I think this legislation would pass,” WVU Vice President for Strategic Initiatives Rob Alsop said during a February information session about the bill. In a letter emailed to students, faculty and staff, WVU President E. Gordon Gee wrote, “In considering the
THURSDAY MARCH 7, 2019 and other projectiles at the officers and the public works crews. Staff of the Morgantown Police Department reviewed all the body camera footage, statements and surveillance video of the incident.” April Kaull, a University spokesperson, wrote in a Wednesday night statement, “It is unfortunate that the behavior on Spruce Street a month ago has resulted in these charges but interfering with law enforcement officers cannot be taken lightly.” “Sadly, what began as a snow carnival became dangerous, requiring officers
to step in,” she wrote. “The order to disperse was met with objects being thrown, endangering both officers and individuals, which led to Morgantown Police using pepper balls and smoke grenades.” Kaull said the students could face discipline under the Student Conduct Code once the criminal charges are resolved. Matthew Richardson, the director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, said the nine listed as residents of a fraternity house that appeared in the release are active members.
“As with any student, violations of local law/the Student Conduct Code shall be adjudicated by the Office of Student Conduct,” he wrote in a Wednesday night email. “The Gamma Pi Chapter of Sigma Nu and West Virginia Gamma Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon are currently not being investigated in terms of the student conduct process due to the actions of a few of their members. Several of the names in the press release from Morgantown Police were misspelled. They have been corrected.
best path forward, I must be realistic about the power of West Virginia University and others to stop this legislation. However, I am confident we are taking the correct measures to ensure we can implement a plan that provides additional protections and safeguards should the legislation move forward.” For a time, the bill did have momentum.
The House of Delegates advanced “The Campus Self Defense Act” by a 59-41 margin on the night of Feb. 27. But earlier that morning, the House Rules committee, the committee that decides which bills are sent to the floor for a full vote, voted 10-8 against the bill, which moved it onto the inactive calendar. Yet, when meeting for a second time later that day
on the campus carry bill, House Rules voted 11-9 to send the bill back to the active calendar. One lawmaker on the committee, Del. Danny Hamrick, R-Harrison, was absent for the first vote, and voted to make the bill active in the second. Del. Daryl Cowles, R-Morgan, flipped his no vote to a yes for the second vote, according to West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

Pepperoni and cheese paradise: Students debate Morgantown’s perfect pizzeria

The four food apps every college student should have BY HANNAH MORGAN STAFF WRITER
BY OLIVIA GIANETTINO STAFF WRITER As any college town should be, Morgantown is the land of the passionate sports fans, rowdy partying and unfathomable amounts of restaurants serving up pizza they claim to be the best. Which restaurants are actually the best? The city’s tourist website, tourmorgantown.com, lists a whopping 19 pizzerias, which does not begin to touch the actual number of restaurants scattered around Morgantown. “Thin crust, thick crust,
wood-fired or flatbread, Greater Morgantown has an assortment of pizzerias,” the website says. “From national chains to local shops, you’ll find all the melted cheese, fresh toppings and crispy crust your tummy can handle!” According to Yelp, the top 10 pizzas in Morgantown come from Pies & Pints, Lefty’s Place, PeppeBroni’s Pizza, Home Grown Pizza, Pizza Al’s, Mountain State Brewing, Lotsa Stone Fired Pizza, Milano’s Pizza, The Pizza Place and Benny Velino’s. Experienced pizza-eating students from Bridgeport and Shinston, West Virginia, have their own opinions about what
is the best of the best. “Summit, obviously,” Grant Duvall, a freshman studying biology, joked in reference to the residence hall’s cafeteria. Pizza Al’s is the preference of junior psychology student and Shinston native Logan Minnix. Freshman Jaryn Dodrill, studying exercise physiology, and freshman Rachel Reppert, studying elementary education, both agreed that Papa Allen’s “slaps.” “Papa Allen’s is cheap and delicious,” Dodrill said. “That is all.” Taylor Frame, a freshman public relations student, said that Mountain State Brewery
offered her the perfect slice. Freshman animal and nutritional sciences student Joplin Kehrer seconded Frame’s claim. Landyn Hewitt, a freshman in pre-pharmacy, is a fan of Pies & Pints. Her go-to order is the chicken gouda pizza. Catie Wilson is a freshman exercise physiology student. What is her favorite Morgantown pizzeria? “I like Domino’s,” Wilson said. “Are people going to make fun of me for saying Domino’s?” “I also love Domino’s but was too embarrassed to say it,” Duvall added.
Mmm! High street’s best drunk food BY JORDYN JOHNSON DIGITAL EDITOR After a night out at either one of Morgantown’s dozens of clubs, bars, house parties, frats, etc., you might be in dire need of a super fattening and greasy meal, because let’s face it—no one wants to eat a salad after shots. So if you’re new to the city or maybe just don’t go out much, you might not know where you can get such a meal in the wee hours of the morning when the only thing you can think about is food and texting your ex. But, never to fear, we’ve compiled a list, in no particular order, of the best drunk food Morgantown has to offer and are kindly sharing it with you. Use it wisely. 1. Benny Velino’s A slice of pizza bigger than your head for only $5 is all you need to know about Benny’s to know it’s the place to go after a night out. A whole Benny’s pizza is 28 inches, if that gives you any indication of slice size. They’ve also
got all the classic pizza bases covered such as cheese, pepperoni, mushroom and sausage pies, while also having specials of the month for more interesting slices. Their pizza is always insanely hot, crispy and is overall delicious. You’re missing out if you’ve never been. And, to top it off (pizza pun intended), Benny’s has an awesome selection of non-alcoholic beverages to hydrate you up. 2. D.P. Dough You can always count on a calzone to treat you right after a night out, and D.P. Dough does not disappoint. With 25 different calzones to choose from, not including the build-your-own option, this place is Ben Wyatt’s greatest dream and will be yours too after a rough night. Try a “Mountaineer Zone” with pepperoni, sausage, mozzarella cheese and Italian spices or a “Mac N Pork Zone” stuffed with mac and cheese, pulled pork, barbecue sauce and cheddar cheese. Drunk you will love it.
Let’s face it—after a while, the food options found in the Mountainlair and Evansdale Crossing begin to get less and less exciting with every visit. After all, we begin to get tired of the same food options every single day. Will it be Taziki’s for the second time this week? Will it be another greasy pizza from Blue Tomato? Who knows. However, with the countless food options that can be found on our phones, the students of WVU no longer have to taste the same, bland food. Here are four of the best food apps every student needs to have on their phone to survive the next hunger pang.
Home Chef Sometimes, all a college kid wants is a warm, home-cooked meal, right off the stove from back home. While that might not be possible here, there is another option that hits close to home. If eating a good, home-cooked meal is the dream, then look no further than Home Chef. This service brings ingredients and instructions right to the front door, prepped and ready to be cooked. Unlike the countless food services like Home Chef, only one had the option of choosing low-carb or low-calorie, protein preference and what, if any, types of foods are a big “no.” The cheapest option, costing a little under $50 a week, will bring two serving meals twice a week which might be good news to some college kids.

A build-your-own personal pizza from Lotsa. 3. Lotsa Building your own personal pizza is pretty fun when you’re drunk, to be honest, and Lotsa’s pizza is delicious inebriated or sober. With three different crusts, including gluten-free, multiple sauces, cheeses and toppings, there’s a pizza for literally everyone at Lotsa. Every pie is stone fired in less than 10 minutes, so when you’re starving at 2:30 a.m., you’ll be munching in no time. Also, on the weekends, once it’s later in the night, Lotsa
4. High Street Canteen A Morgantown staple, “Canteen,” as it’s known around campus, is a favorite among students and alumni alike, and what makes it such a great drunk food location can be summed up in two words: mozzarella sticks. Arguably one of Canteen’s most popular menu items, they’re easily one of the best drunk foods, too. Biting into a hot mozzarella stick dunked in marinara sauce might be one of the best things in the world. 5. Jimmy John’s Greasy food isn’t always for everyone, but sandwiches definitely are, and Jimmy John’s subs are some of the best out there, especially at the end of a night out. Fresh bread, cold cuts, fresh veggies and condiments come together to make something beautiful. Also, chips and a pickle, who couldn’t love this meal!

Instacart Nothing is worse than having an empty fridge. What is even worse is having no time to hop in the car to spend hours running around in the grocery store. Luckily, Instacart has solved that problem. On the app, one can browse from a selection of stores around Morgantown, like ALDI, CVS Pharmacy and Petco. After throwing some items into the virtual chopping cart, these items are soon stocked and delivered right to the front door. With the simple tap of a finger, one can have a full, happy fridge.
goPuff Ever get a weird, unattainable craving at midnight? It seems every restaurant is closed for the night and a walk to the convenience store seems torturous. Fortunately, goPuff makes sure that never happens. goPuff is an app that has everything from cleaning products to pints of ice cream ready to be delivered. So, the next time that craving for a midnight snack hits, know goPuff has you covered.
Uber Eats
Instead of calling a restaurant, ordering and requesting food delivery, there are many apps that become the middleman and deliver it themselves. Though the competition for food delivery services seems to be growing, Uber Eats still comes out on top. Their selection of food chains is unbeatable and customer service is always friendly. It’s always nice to eat a nice meal from a good restaurant without having to leave the house, knowing that the Uber Eats driver—whose name is given–is going to bring it safely.

Why the DA did not make an SGA endorsement BY THE DA EDITORIAL BOARD In the past, the Daily Athenaeum has endorsed candidates in the WVU Student Government Association election. This election, we did not make an endorsement. The lack of endorsement has nothing to do with incompetence from any of the candidates. Each ticket – Connect, Focus and Realist – had potential to better the University with its ideas, experience and character. Unfortunately, due to current election rules, students were not given enough time to evaluate the candidates and make an informed decision. Some people may consider this a good reason for an editorial endorsement, as the DA follows SGA closely and has more insight on its operations and members than the average student. However, this year that insight showed us the need to use our platform to advocate for an election system that gives voters sufficient time to form their own opinions. Earlier this semester, the allotted time for active campaigning was shortened from five days to four. Active campaigning began for the candidates when the clock struck midnight early Sunday morning. Voting began at 9 a.m. Tuesday morning. This gave candidates only 57 hours to discuss their platform with students and the press before polling locations opened. This is not enough time. Yet, such time restraints weren’t always in place. The

Voting for the SGA election began on 9 a.m. Tuesday morning and ended on Wednesday at 4 p.m. 2014 Elections Code said active campaigning should not exceed 12 academic days. The current code says active campaigning should not exceed six days. Active campaigning aside, there are other factors that limit voter knowledge of the candidates. Before active campaigning, the Elections Committee recommended “that potential candidates only refer to themselves and their individual personal beliefs when asked about platforms/goals before the active campaigning start date,” according to
a document on the SGA website from Attorney General Miguel Fortney-Henriquez. So, when a potential candidate asks students for signatures so they can become official candidates, the Elections Committee prohibits references to a platform, which is an important part of any candidacy. “During the signature process, candidates were advised not to talk about platforms as they related to the entire team, but were encouraged to talk about their individual passions and things they wanted to work
on,” wrote Elections Chair Steven Treadway in a Feb. 27 email. Instead, the document from the attorney general provides this example as to how potential candidates should respond when asked about their platform: Potential Candidate: “I do not subscribe to any platform at this point, but personally wish to hold SGA executives accountable in the future.” In January, Treadway, in an email crafted by the attorney general, even asked the DA to remove social media posts with an article dis-
cussing some of the potential candidates due to an investigation into “potential violations of the Elections Code.” In the article that the Elections Committee asked to be removed from social media, the two potential presidential candidates, Jay Zaleski and Mikalaa Martin, each made several basic statements. If potential candidates can’t be written about, especially in a way as broad as this, before the election, students know really nothing about the candidates until the week of the election. Such restrictions on information keep voters largely in the dark about who will be representing them in student government until active campaigning begins. Students, who are busy with homework, studying, work and a social life, then are given only 57 hours to decipher the platforms before the polling locations first open. Initially, Treadway said the Elections Committee would not be releasing the official candidate names until active campaigning began. On Friday, there was a mandatory candidates meeting; candidates weren’t official until after the meeting. Active campaigning did not begin until Sunday at midnight. “Yeah this is based on how things have been run in the past & with the intent of protecting all cands. from sticky violation predicaments that could come with releasing names early,” Treadway wrote in a Feb. 27 tweet. This tweet is concerning. If the Elections Committee cannot trust the candidates to follow election rules, how
can students trust them to follow rules once they are in office? Or is it a matter of vagueness in election law? If this is the case, the rules should be made more clear, ensuring that candidates have more success in following them. Ultimately, the Elections Committee ended up releasing the names before active campaigning began. Nevertheless, this consideration of not releasing official candidate names further exposes problems with the election process. The limited information allowed to circulate about the potential and later official candidates, combined with the shortened active campaigning period, encourages a system where the most socially popular candidate is bound for victory. When students aren’t given enough time to analyze the merits and plans of all the candidates, they vote for the name they know. Once again, this editorial is not a knock on the candidates this year. All tickets were more than qualified and each presented ideas that would be beneficial to campus. But an election system that stymies the flow of information to the electorate is not one that should be encouraged and not one that should exist.

Big 12 Tournament performance critical to Carey & Co. BY JARED SERRE ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL As the West Virginia women’s basketball team steps into the Big 12 Tournament, they will need a big stretch of games to make a push for an NCAA Tournament berth. Starting on Friday, WVU will be in Oklahoma City, attempting to secure the 2019 Big 12 Tournament Championship. The fourth-seeded Mountaineers will take on Kansas State on Saturday in the quarterfinal round with tipoff coming at noon. In the two matchups between the teams this season, they each took a victory. With the Mountaineers on the bubble of an appearance in the upcoming NCAA Tournament, a strong performance is critical to set them apart from other teams. “Everybody says we probably are a bubble team,” WVU head coach Mike Carey said. “I just want to make this clear — we’ve won 20 games, 11 games

In-state rivalry among weekend matches for tennis team BY CHARLES MONTGOMERY STAFF WRITER
TENNIS This weekend, the West Virginia women’s tennis team will host the Binghamton Bearcats on Saturday and the Marshall Thundering Herd on Sunday. These are the final two non-conference matchups for the Mountaineers as they prepare to start conference play against Texas Tech next week. All three teams are coming into their respective matches on losing streaks. Binghamton has yet to win a match this season as the Bearcats are 0-12. Marshall has lost eight straight as the Thundering Herd are 2-9 on the
season. The Mountaineers are on a two-match losing streak as they were swept last weekend against VCU and No. 29 Old Dominion. However, WVU is the only team with a winning record as they are 6-3 on the year. In singles play, WVU has been led by sophomore Anne-Sophie Courteau. Courteau has compiled a 7-2 record on the year as she had won six straight matches before being defeated by Alesya Yakubovich of ODU. Two other players that have really stepped up for West Virginia has been sophomore Giovanna Caputo and freshman Nicole Roc. Caputo is 5-3, winning three of her last four. Roc is also 5-3, winning two of her last three. In doubles play, the pair
that has performed exceptionally well is that of Sofia Duran and Anastasiia Bovolskaia. They have a 4-2 record together with only one match going unfinished. In the last two matches Duran has been paired with Goetz and Jordan, going 1-1 in that span. Despite their recent losing streak, West Virginia still has an opportunity to start conference play with its best record since the 2014-2015 season where they started 9-3. If WVU is able to sweep Binghamton and Marshall, they will be 8-3 when they face Texas Tech on March 15. After facing Texas Tech and TCU on the road next week, the Mountaineers return to host Oklahoma on March 22 and Oklahoma State on March 24.

West Virginia returns home for series against Kent State BY QUINN BURKITT STAFF WRITER
BASEBALL The West Virginia baseball team will head into this weekend riding the momentum of its 2-0 series-ending victory over then-No. 6 Oregon State on Sunday, as the Mountaineers take on Kent State this weekend in a three-game series. Through 11 games this season, infielder Tyler Doanes sits atop the Mountaineersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; batting average with a .317 slash, followed by outfielder Darius Hill, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hitting .300. The only other notable offensive standout includes infielder Ivan Gonzalez, who is currently batting .231 with nine hits in 39 at bats. Left-handed pitcher Jackson Wolf leads West Virginia (6-5) with two victories as opposed to his one loss against Oregon State on March 2. In the loss, the sophomore served up four earned runs, five hits and a walk through seven innings pitched. Right-hander Kade Strowd impressed in his start against Oregon State on Sunday, in which the junior recorded one hit and five strikeouts through 6.1 innings of work.

Hill registered a pair of hits on the day to lead the West Virginia offense. Feb. 22 saw similar results on the pitching side as Manoah threw 6.1 innings, while

In Strowdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominant one hit and five strikeout performance against Oregon State on Sunday, left-hander Beau Lowery and right-hander Sam Kessler retired a combined eight batters while striking out three Beavers and only surrendering a pair of home runs in relief. Kent State strolls into Morgantown on Friday holding a
4-7 overall record and most recently knocking off Charlotte on Saturday, 5-3. The Flash are led at the plate by outfielder Ben Carew, who has batted .382 and holds a .441 slugging percentage through 11 games this season. Outfielder Cam Touchette leads Kent State in at-bats and games started, while lashing a .279 batting average and registering 12 hits through 43 at-bats. The biggest challenge Kent State has faced this season
was then-No. 21 Coastal Carolina on Feb. 23, in which the Golden Flashes fell 8-2. Righthander John Matthews received the start and got bashed with eight earned runs, eight hits and a trio of walks through only 4.1 innings pitched. West Virginia will throw its first pitch against Kent State Friday at 3 p.m. at Monongalia County Ballpark, followed by a 2 p.m. first pitch on Saturday and a 1 p.m. first pitch on Sunday.

West Virginia to host national championship for first time BY JOHN LOWE SPORTS EDITOR
RIFLE For the first time, the 19time national champion West Virginia Mountaineers rifle team will host the national championship. “It means a lot to finally host a championship in Morgantown,” WVU head coach Jon Hammond said. “The history and tradition of the program is really big. The team is really excited. I’m happy to see how the athletics department has embraced this event. Everyone is excited and intrigued, and I’m anticipating an excellent weekend.” Joining the Mountaineers in the national championship are defending national champion Kentucky, top overall seed TCU, Air Force, Murray State, Navy, Alaska and Army. WVU competed against six of the qualified finalists and won every match. “This is one of the more competitive fields we’ve had in a long time,” Hammond

of whom have won two prior national titles with the Mountaineers. “For me, it’s really, really special to host NCAAs as a senior and especially as
the first time in history that WVU is ever getting to do this,” Thrasher said. “I think it’s great to have the opportunity to shoot it and to really just have the fanbase I know we’re going to have there coming out and representing us. I’ve always felt like the Morgantown and WVU community has been so supportive of their rifle team and of me in particular and just to have it culminate with the NCAA Championships as a senior is just really special and meaningful and it’s something I’m going to remember for the rest of my life.” For only the second time in program history, WVU will host a match at the Coliseum, with the previous match coming earlier this season against NCAA competitors Air Force and Murray State as well as Ohio State and Nebraska. The smallbore portion of the championships will start at 9:45 a.m. Friday with the individual match beginning at 3:30 p.m. The air rifle portion will start at 10 a.m. on Saturday with the individual match beginning at 2 p.m.

Where should you be spending your Mountie Bounty? BY CODY NESPOR CULTURE EDITOR Mountie Bounty is a pretty convenient function of our student IDs here at WVU. There are a number of places both on campus and around town that accept it as payment, and not having to carry cash or worry about using one’s debit card can be a real weight off of students’ shoulders. In fact, there may be so many options out there for where you can use your bounty it may be hard to decide sometimes. Going off reviews of places on Google, however, can create a clearer picture of where your Mountie Bounty can be best spent. Using Google ratings, places can be grouped into three categories; bad, good and great. Bad are scores under four stars, good are scores of four to four and a half stars and great is anything more than four and a half stars. This list is made up of all the restaurants where bounty can be used, so stores like CVS and Par Mar were not included. For places with multiple locations like McDonald’s and Sheetz, the average score among the locations was used. The list of businesses that accept Mountie Bounty is found on wvu.teamdynamix.com. The reviews and ratings are of March 6 at 7:45 p.m. and each business must have had a minimum of 50 reviews to qualify. Group 1: Bad There’s nothing really surprising in this group, mainly chain restaurants and fast food joints—places you would not really mind eating at, but nothing you would go out of your way to get. 17. Sheetz - 4H Camp Road, University Place, University Ave. - 3.2 average stars 16. McDonald’s - University Ave., Suncrest Towne Center 3.55 average stars 15. Pizza Hut - Patteson Drive - 3.6 stars 14. Burger King - Patteson Drive - 3.7 stars 13. Buffalo Wild Wings Suncrest Towne Center - 3.9 stars Group 2: Good A few chain restaurants find their way into this group, but for the most part, these are places where you can get food that you will legitimately enjoy. These are places that you go if
you were in the mood for, but not necessarily anywhere that you would take friends or family when they visit. T-11. Taco Bell - Patteson Drive - 4 stars T-11. D. P. Dough - High Street - 4 stars 10.
