Sean Guthrie falls from Kappa Alpha house Friends speak out with concern, fondness STAFF REPORTS
At around 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning, emergency services responded to a call at the Kappa Alpha fraternity house after a student had reportedly fallen from a ledge on the building. Sean Guthrie was immediately transported to Ruby Memorial Hospital where he was placed on life support, according to University Police Chief Bob Roberts. The incident was still under investigation Sunday evening. However, Roberts said preliminary investigations revealed there was no reason to believe that Guthrie was intoxicated at the time of the accident. “It appears to have been a tragic accident and our prayers are with his family,” Roberts said. Ruby Memorial reported that Guthrie was still in critical condition Sunday night.
Director of Greek Life Roy Baker said the fraternity had registered a social function for Saturday night in accordance with Greek Life rules, and that it met all guidelines for the party, but he assumed it had already ended by the time the accident occurred. “We have no reason to believe that the fraternity itself has done anything wrong to cause this accident,” Baker said. “Obviously this was a tragedy for WVU. (Guthrie) was well-known and well-liked by members of the fraternity and the student body. He was just a great young man and we are devastated that this happened.”
This is a developing story based upon available information at the time of publication. For updates, visit: http://TheDAOnline.com
STAFF REPORTS
Sean Guthrie was described as “the most happy fun-loving person” by his fraternity brother, Ben Katz. Guthrie is an industrial engineering student from Toms River, NJ. He is a member of the Kappa Alpha Order, Alpha Rho chapter at WVU and vice president of community relations for the Inter fraternity Council. “He was extremely bright and a person you wanted to be friends with,” Katz said. “He was a great guy with everything going for him. Terrible shame he was taken so soon.” Many friends had reached out on social media to send their condolences and express their grief after a GoFundMe page was set up by Kappa Alpha brother and WVU alumnus Cameron Gleason to help with funeral expenses. “Sean positively influenced each and every member through his leadership skills, and devout loyalty to not only the organiza-
tion—but to all of us, his brothers, whenever called upon to do so,” the page read. Within the first hour of the page being up, more than $1,300 of the $8,000 goal was raised. “He was a great young man who was full of charisma, and was extremely intelligent,” said Teddy Phillippi, a fellow member of IFC. Phillippi said Guthrie meant a lot to the Greek community. Associate Dean and Director of Greek Life Roy Baker said he’d heard the family planned to donate his organs. “We believe that Sean would have wanted that,” Baker said. For those grieving, the University offers counseling through the Carruth Center. Visit http://well.wvu.edu/ ccpps for more information.

EFA and SGA come together for health fundrasier TAYLOR AMBROSE CORRESPONDENT
While medical care and the costs associated with it can be prohibitive, the Eye Foundation of America is working to eliminate avoidable blindness, especially in children. EFA hosted a joint fundraiser Saturday evening with the Student Government Association to raise money for its cause as well as for Touchdowns for Tucker, a charity dedicated to helping a local family cover hospital expenses for their son, Tucker. The event included authentic Indian dance and cuisine. “Everyone deserves health care,” Dr. V.K. Raju, founder of the Eye Foundation of America said. “This event, raising money for these causes, is
what West Virginia is. We can be an example for the rest of the world.” Raju came to Morgantown in 1976. Since then, he has traveled to more than 50 countries, trained countless future optometrists and began the Eye Foundation of America, which has brought eye care help to more than 1.7 million people. “It all started here in Morgantown,” he said proudly. The WVU students who organized the event, Praveen K. R. Majjigapu and Morgan King, want this to be the start of a long partnership between the University and EFA. “It’s just a great thing, what they’re doing and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it,” King said. Majjigapu approached

”
SGA member Douglas Ernest Jr. about giving a portion of the proceeds to Touchdowns for Tucker. “I was just taken aback when Praveen told me that,” Ernest said. “It just shows you how great these people are, wanting to give to all they can.” While the monetary outcome of the fundraiser not yet known, the event was an enjoyment for many, bringing together culture and community on campus. Tejaswini Manogna, the performer for the evening,
brought with her the classical Bharatanatyam dance of the Hindu faith. Her performances gave praise to gods such as Lord Krishna and Ganesha as well as conveyed the importance of the gift of sight. Manogna is an award winning Indian dancer who travels with EFA to fundraise all over the country. She has performed in more than 1,500 shows but made this one unique by changing her style to dance to John Denver’s Country Roads for the finale. “This is a song that needs no introduction,” she said

Hundreds participate in Alzheimer’s Association charity walk SAMANTHA HUFFMAN CORRESPONDENT
Hundreds of people gathered Sunday afternoon at the WVU Coliseum to walk two miles in support of the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. “You don’t realize how scary it is until someone close to you has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s,” said Christina Beck, who was in charge of organizing the event. The Alzheimer’s Association of West Virginia has held the event for many years in Morgantown. This year, the group’s goal was to raise $90,000 for the cause. So far it has raised
more than half the amount, and anticipates being even closer to it by the day’s end, Beck said. Jennifer Thompson and Linda Richards shared with the crowd the story of their family member, Jeff, who they lost far too early from the disease. “In March of 2010, Jeff was diagnosed with early on-set Alzheimer’s at age 49,” Thompson said. “By 2012, he was already unable to work and soon after required 24/7 supervision. He fought bravely and valiantly, but on May 7 of 2016, he became another statistic.” Tears began to roll down Thompson’s face and the

much more funding and research for every face of Alzheimer’s,” she said. Alzheimer’s Disease is the sixth-leading cause of
death in the United States, according to the National Alzheimer’s Association. More than 5 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s and more than 15 million people care for individuals who have been diagnosed with it. Beck, the event organizer of four years, was thrilled with the turnout of volunteers, donations and contributions from local businesses. She has also been touched personally by Alzheimer’s. Her father was di-
agnosed with the disease two years ago. Beck said the Alzheimer’s Association is still accepting donations until Dec. 31, and is always looking for volunteers, as the operation wouldn’t be possible without them.

OPINION
When does a non-profit brand become a business? BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR
When it comes to charities fighting cancer with research—even charities specifically fighting breast cancer—there are better places to send your dollars than Susan G. Komen. Here’s why: The breast cancer fundraising behemoth spends far too little on research, and some organizational missteps like how much it pays its leaders call into question its ethics as a charity. According to The Chronicle of Philanthropy, the
words “for the Cure” in the organization’s name implies that a much larger portion of its revenue goes to research. In reality, Komen allocated less than 20 percent of its revenue to cancer research in 2012. “A look at Komen’s audits over the years, shows that while the dollars going to research grants have risen, the share of total spending they represent has shrunk as Komen’s total revenues and expenses have grown,” the chronicle reported. Even so, the chronicle praised the organization for being transparent about its
income and expenditures. While it’s difficult to compare organizations, Charity Navigator, which rates nonprofit organizations on their use of funding, gives Komen a rating of three stars, up from two in recent years, while the much smaller National Breast Cancer Foundation gets the site’s highest rating of four. The organization has also been criticized for its spending on salaries. Founder and former CEO Nancy Brinker earned $684,717 in 2012. Charity Navigator called this amount “extremely high.” While Komen fights for a
good cause, sometimes its methods are questionable. Susan G. Komen has aggressively filed trademark oppositions and aggressively maneuvered against more than a hundred small charities for the use of phrases such as “cure”, “for the cure”, or even its signature color pink, reported the Huffington Post. Through actions like this, not only does the charity assert itself as a business first and charity second, it also indicates that the group would rather have other charities spending money on lawyer fees than on the cause of can-
cer and a cure. In 2012, Susan G. Komen dropped funding for Planned Parenthood, where it had previously helped fund more than a hundred thousand breast exams and thousands of referrals for mammograms. While this decision was eventually reversed, this led to severe drops in participation and funding for Susan G. Komen events. Susan G. Komen partners with many different businesses in what is called “cause marketing.” This leaves companies with the positive image of charity for their products and mea-
ger amounts of money making its way to the cause. This becomes a further problem when many of the partners themselves have products containing carcinogens, or offer paltry donations at best in comparison to their actual yield, potentially deceiving consumers. Susan G. Komen has done many great things for the fight against cancer. But its track record certainly calls into question whether it’s the best option available for cancer donations. When you see pink this month, please donate, but understand where your money will go first.
pressed surprise at the lack of election activity. “Usually, college campuses are hotbeds,” Cohen said. And where are the registration drives? “For a lot of students who are interested in this election they’re not registered, right, because this is their first time being able to vote for president. So it seems like it’s probably among the most important places to have voter outreach.” And in the last presidential election, fewer than 23 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds in West Virginia voted. That was the worst voter turnout of any age group in any state in the country.
With the need for greater turnout amongst young voters, and the lack of activity on campus, does any responsibility fall on University administration? WVU should be developing an engaged and informed student body. That means a student body that votes. Cohen said WVU is a state university and as a branch of the state, it should “encourage people to partake in the democratic process.” There are simple ways this could be done. Alan Solomont, writing in U.S. News and World Report in July, explained that simply “knocking on young people’s doors to talk about an elec-
tion increases their turnout by about 25 percent.” In January, Shelby Bradford wrote in The Daily Athenaeum, “The University could help (students learn about absentee voting) by just sending all students an email explaining this procedure.” Solomont reported that Tufts University President Anthony P. Monaco had done just that. He “emailed the entire student body, staff and faculty with a reminder to register and vote.” There’s no reason President E. Gordon Gee couldn’t send a University-wide email doing the same. Being predominantly first-time voters, students
need this information. While the lack of activity in part reflects the student body’s attitude, something as easy as an email could be a catalyst to get students registered.
Tuesday is the deadline to register to vote in West Virginia. If you don’t hear from the administration by then, consider this your nudge to get online and register.
The University’s role in student voting BY ALEX WEIDMAN CORRESPONDENT
With less than a month to go before the presidential election, there’s something missing on campus: campaigning, voter registration and general election fanfare. At most, some days you’ll find a Trump tent in the Free Speech Zone. Where’s the activity for the election on this campus?

Local woman keeps high spirits during battle with cancer BY SAMANTHA HUFFMAN CORRESPONDENT
On Saturday, Oct. 8 The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of West Virginia held its seventh annual 5K in Morgantown at the Hazel Ruby McQuain Riverfront Park. Among the individuals participating in the event was a truly remarkable woman, Carolyn Chiasson. Chiasson was recently diagnosed with stage three invasive infiltrating ductal carcinoma— the most common type of breast cancer that accounts for 70-80 percent of all diagnoses, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. After receiving a normal, routine mammogram in August, Chiasson found out just months later that a mass was detected in her breast. A bit be-
fore learning she was ill, Chiasson lost her husband to stomach and esophageal cancer. Chiasson now plans to start weekly, twelve-week chemotherapy treatments. Eventually, she plans to have the mass removed and begin radiation therapy. Of all the things to take away from Chiasson’s story, the most inspiring was her overwhelming optimism. “I’m doing well; I go to Zumba and I have my daughters and their families, and I’ve been trying to keep myself healthy as a priority,” she said. “This is what I have to do for the next several months and I’m going to do everything I can. The goal is a cure. That’s my doctor’s hope, so I’m just going to take it a day at a time.” Chiasson also spoke of the love and appreciation she holds for her two daughters,
who have been such an amazing support system for her throughout the process. Currently undergoing treatment at the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center at the West Virginia University Cancer Institute, Chiasson couldn’t be more appreciative of the staff. “It’s such a wonderful facility,” she said. “I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t been in Morgantown.” About one in eight U.S. women—roughly 12 percent—will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. An estimated 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S. in 2016, along with 61,000 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer.
And breast cancer doesn’t just affect women—about 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in men in 2016, as well. However, there is some good news. Breast cancer incidence rates have been decreasing since the year 2000, the first time in two decades that the rate dropped instead of rose, according to the American Cancer Society, thanks in part to money raised by groups like ACS. Participants in October’s walk raised $38,200—roughly two-thirds of ACS’s goal of raising $60,000. While the event is over, those interested can still make a difference by making a donation anytime before December. For more information on how to donate, visit http:// makingstrideswalk.org/wv.

Of the 21 women who competed for the title of Miss West Virginia, only one took it home. And she happens to be a student at WVU. Lauren Roush, 21, of Mason, WV was crowned Miss West Virginia, USA 2017 during Sunday’s final round of the competition. “As a resident of West Virginia, I am incredibly honored to represent the pride and glory of our
beautiful state as Miss West Virginia USA 2017,” Roush said during an interview with the pageant’s office. “Through my participation in the pageants, I am overjoyed at the chance to showcase everything that being a West Virginian means to me, and I pledge to continue to make our great state proud.” Roush is an education student at WVU and taught children throughout the age range of kindergarten and fourth grade in Santiago, Chile
during the past year. In a story Roush wrote on HerCampus in September, she said she had competed in pageants since she was 16-yearsold and was the first runner-up Miss West Virginia USA 2016. “I may never win Miss West Virginia USA and fulfill my dream of representing my state at a national level, but I sure am going to give it my all,” Roush wrote in her story. The young women showcased their accomplishments and skills in

She is eager to give back to the institution that supported her when she was sick. “I was very happy with the WVU Cancer Center and the great care they took of me and others while I was there,” she said. “A lot of the proceeds from BRA day are going to help women who can’t afford treatment and reconstruction. It reminds women to get their checkups and lets them know that there is help for them financially if they need it.”
While battling or at risk for Breast Cancer, many women choose to have a mastectomy, where they have one or both breasts removed. According to http://Komen.org, breast reconstruction may help a woman feel more comfortable about her look. Local restaurants are teaming up with WVU plastic surgeons and the Morgantown Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, Oct. 19 for “Dine Out for BRA Day,” an event to promote breast reconstruction awareness, while raising funds for uninsured and underinsured women in need of treatment and surgery.

5 things to know about breast cancer
1 At this age, the odds are in your favor. .
Less than than 5 percent of breast cancer cases diagnosed in America are in women under the age of 40. Even so, while in your 20’s and 30’s it is important to understand risk factors (such as a family history) and do regular self-examinations. Nobody is exempt from breast cancer, but under age 20 you have a one in 1,674 chance of having breast cancer in the next ten years. By age 60, your risk soars to 1 in 29.
2 Once a month, do this. .
Place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers around your breast gently in small circular motions covering the entire breast area and armpit. Repeat on the other side. Remember 80 percent of breast cysts are benign, and it’s impossible to tell from touching if something is cancerous so if you feel something have it checked out immediately.
3 Causes are still unknown, risk factors are not. .
Breast cancer forms due to damage in a cell’s DNA, but what causes that damage is still unknown. Women are at greater risk of developing breast cancer due to a family history of the disease. Even so, only 13 percent of women diagnosed have a mother, sister or daughter with breast cancer.
4 Not just extra weight, but where it is matters. .
Gaining weight increases your chances of breast cancer because fat cells make estrogen, which stimulates the growth of certain types of breast cancer. And if that weight is carried around the belly, it may increase the risk even more. Best risk reducer: exercise and eat healthy.
5 Ending cancer. .
In his final State of the Union address in January, President Obama announced the creation of the “Cancer Moonshot” program to make a decade’s worth of progress in cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment in the next five years. “For the loved ones we’ve all lost, for the family we can still save, let’s make America the country that cures cancer once and for all,” he said. Among the initiatives: Establish a patient database so researchers can track what therapies work in whom and with which types of tumors; minimizing the side-effects of therapies currently used to treat cancer; and expand the use of proven prevention and early detection strategies.

WVU sits atop Big 12 Conference power rankings BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR
FOOTBALL West Virginia made a statement and is beginning to receive more national acclaim. Baylor also remained undefeated as its offense dominated once again. Here’s how the Big 12 stacks up after seven weeks: 1. West Virginia (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 1 The Mountaineers clicked on all cylinders in the 48-17 rout at Texas Tech, improving to 5-0 for the first time since 2012. The team recorded four sacks and eight total tackles for loss, including an interception on star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. It was another statement from the defense, holding the nation’s No. 2
scoring offense to its lowest scoring total since 2014. Week 8 Matchup: TCU 2. Oklahoma (4-2, 3-0 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 2 Oklahoma pulled out all the plays in its 38-17 win against Kansas State, marking its third straight victory. Running back Joe Mixon had 88 rushing yards and two total touchdowns, highlighted by a scoring pass to Dede Westbrook. Week 8 Matchup: @ Texas Tech 3. Baylor (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 3 Baylor eased its way to a sixth straight victory, defeating Kansas in 49-7 fashion. Seth Russell accounted for four total touchdowns on offense and cornerback Ryan Reid added two interceptions defensively. A bye week
looms for Baylor before heading to Texas on Oct. 29, which defeated it a year ago. While it’s been an impressive season thus far, the Bears have beat opponents with a combined 9-28 record. Week 8 Matchup: Bye week 4. Oklahoma State (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 4 Amidst a two game winning streak, the Cowboys return to action against a 1-5 Kansas team. Week 8 Matchup: @ Kansas 5. Kansas State (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 5 Bill Snyder’s squad struggled to contain the high-powered Sooners offense, allowing 510 yards in the 38-17 road loss. Kansas State has now lost two of
its last three games, surrendering above 30 points per game during that span. Week 8 Matchup: Texas 6. TCU (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 6 With a key bye week after a near upset against Kansas, the Horned Frogs travel to West Virginia on Saturday. The team has won the previous two meetings against the Mountaineers, highlighted by a game-winning field goal in Morgantown in 2014. Week 8 Matchup: @ West Virginia 7. Texas (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 8 Head coach Charlie Strong got a much-needed 27-6 win against Iowa State, snapping a three game losing streak. The Longhorns scored 24 unanswered
second half points after trailing 6-3 at halftime, led by a pair of touchdown strikes from Shane Buechele. Week 8 Matchup: @ Kansas State 8. Texas Tech (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 7 Patrick Mahomes and the Red Raiders mustered just 17 points in a 48-17 loss to West Virginia, suffering their second straight defeat. The team found its way into the redzone three times compared to WVU’s eight, and tallied more than 100 penalty yards. The gauntlet doesn’t get any easier with a matchup against Oklahoma next week. Week 8 Matchup: Oklahoma 9. Iowa State (1-6, 0-4 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 9
Iowa State faltered in the second half en route to a 27-6 loss at Texas, marking its third straight defeat. The offense totaled just 280 yards and averaged 2.3 yards per run play. A bye week looms before another tough matchup at Kansas State. Week 8 Matchup: Bye week 10. Kansas (1-5, 0-3 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 10 One week after nearly defeating TCU, the Jayhawks “took several steps back,” in the words of head coach David Beaty. They mustered 217 yards of offense and turned the ball over five times in the 49-7 loss to Baylor. It marked the team’s fifth straight loss since a win over Rhode Island in the season opener.

Durante’s emergence beneficial for No. 12 WVU BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER
FOOTBALL In each of its five games this season, WVU has had a wide receiver record at least 100 receiving yards. The group is establishing itself as one of the Big 12’s deepest units. And due to the emergence of Jovon Durante, they will keep getting better. On Oct. 15, Shelton Gibson, who leads the Mountaineers this season with 472 receiving
yards, ended the day with 14 yards on four catches. However, WVU still posted 48 points against Texas Tech. After Gibson became the downfield threat for the Mountaineers, opposing defenses started to shift coverage with a focus on containing Gibson; this allowed other WVU receivers to thrive, notably Durante. “One play,” said WVU wide receivers coach Tyron Carrier. “One play turns everything around.” That “one play” happened to be one of the most important
catches for WVU this season. As the Mountaineers were driving down the field, trying to take the lead against Kansas State, quarterback Skyler Howard found Durante in the back right corner of the end zone for the eventual winning touchdown. “It was (his best game),” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. WVU has started to use Durante in a more flexible role compared to last year. A year ago, Durante was a downfield threat, a role Gibson has fulfilled this season, so Durante adapted.
Durante has began to perfect the little dump play that Tavon Austin made famous at WVU, where in this case, Howard would snap it and immediately give it to a crossing Durante. WVU pulled off that play from its own 25-yard-line and Durante was unleashed. One play and 51-yards later the Mountaineers were in position to answer right back. After struggling at the start of the season, Durante has shown coaches that he is capable of making an impact. Durante has led the team in receptions twice
and totaled 182 yards over the past three games. Holgorsen says that the win against Texas Tech was his team’s “most complete game.” It’s where the Mountaineer offense really showed that any receiver is capable of having a 100yard game. Daikiel Shorts was the one in this game to do so, Durante recorded 81 yards and Ka’Raun White had 67. With WVU adding 332 yards on the ground, it marked an extremely productive day for the offense. Earlier in the season, Car-
rier mentioned he can imagine a few of his guys approaching the 1,000-yard mark by season’s end. Shorts and Gibson are halfway there; Durante and White are behind them. For a while, WVU needed someone to step up amidst the wide receiver’s unit. Durante has been that guy lately, giving Howard another offensive weapon. With the team’s defense being statistically above the majority of its counterparts, it’s easy to see how the Mountaineers achieved their latest ranking.

Abraham steps up in biggest situations BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER
WOMEN’S SOCCER As time ticked down into the final minutes at Dick Dlesk Stadium on Friday evening, it looked as though the top team in the nation was going to need overtime to put down Texas Tech and salvage the No. 1 ranking. Finally, in the 82nd minute, Hannah Abraham scored from a difficult angle to give the Mountaineers (13-1-1, 5-0) a 1-0 edge over the Red Raiders in front of the largest regular season crowd in program history. “I was just trying to get a shot off. I hit the crossbar in the first half, so I was feeling confident,” Abraham said. “I wanted that shot. I didn’t even see it go in—I don’t know how it went in. All I saw was Grace (Cutler) on top of me, so I knew I scored.” The game winning goal was Abraham’s fourth of the season. All four of Abraham’s goals this year have been game winners, giving her credibility as one of the top goal scorers in the nation when it matters most. Despite only starting four games this season, the sophomore midfielder’s four game-winning goals tie her for 18th in the nation. Abraham has already tied her goal and point totals from last year’s freshman season. Although Abraham has played off the bench, she has become one of the leading contributors to a

Mountaineer offense that is in the top four of the Big 12 in every statistical category, despite having played less games. Abraham is tied with Heather Kaleiohi for second on the team in both goals and points. More importantly, Abraham shows the highest shooting efficiency on the team. Of just 22 shots, four have been goals on a West Virginia roster that has converted 29 goals on 333 shots. As the season comes to an end and the Mountaineers conclude the conference slate, Abraham’s late goal scoring efforts will prove to be extremely important should the nation’s top team hope to live up to the expectations set for it. The Mountaineers need to win just one of their final three games to clinch a 5th consecutive regular season Big 12 Championship. Assuming the team can finish
without a loss, the Mountaineers will be a regional host, and will host all tournament games up until the final four. West Virginia will be back in action this weekend at TCU, which boasts the most potent scoring attack in the Big 12. The Horned Frogs average 2.25 goals per game against West Virginia’s 1.93. The game will take place at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21 in Fort Worth, TX. West Virginia’s final home game of the regular season will be Oct. 28, hosting Oklahoma State. The Mo u n t a i n e e r s hold a 33 game home unbeaten streak in conference matches, which is the 3rd-longest active streak in the country.
