Mountaineer Week celebrates WVU Women BY TAYLOR AMBROSE CORRESPONDENT

Harriet Lyon Jewett made history 125 years ago as the first woman to graduate from WVU, paving the long and victorious road of Mountaineer women and their success. The annual Mountaineer Week is paying tribute to Jewett and all who have

followed her independent and resolute path by making the theme of this year’s Mountaineer Week, WVU Women. “We are proud of our heritage,” said Sonja Wilson, the Mountaineer Week Director. “We are one of the only states that I know of that celebrates our specific culture.” From the first female mountaineer, Natalie Ten-

nant, who is currently running for a third term as WV Secretary of State, and the first woman to dunk a basketball in an official game, Georgeann Wells, the list of Mountaineer firsts is extensive—leading all the way up to the first gold medal of the 2016 summer Olympics, won by Ginny Thrasher. “We have a craft show because people had to make everything by hand, from

furniture to jewelery,” Wilson said. “We have a quilt show because that’s what they used to stay warm, and country vittles because women used to have to stay in the kitchen all day long to prepare the meals.” Each event is carefully planned to bring newfound knowledge and old school enjoyment to students. The celebration will kick off with a speech by Jenni-

fer Orlikoff, former director of the Center for Women’s Studies and current president of Potomac State College, at noon on Friday in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. All these events aim to point students back to the rich history that has made us who we are—to inspire as we look back at the strong women who chose to “go first.”

Some events featured in this week’s festivities is the “Tellebration” of stories of women in Appalachia on Saturday, the reburial of the women’s centenary time capsule on Wednesday, and the WVU Women: Celebrating 125 Years exhibit that will be ongoing throughout the week in the Evansdale library.

53rd annual Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer to be announced next weekend BY ALANNA LONGNECKER CORRESPONDENT

Years ago Mr. Mountaineer finalists wore bibbed overalls and rugged boots and Ms. Mountaineer finalists wore long gingham dresses and bonnets. Next weekend however, they will be dressed in business attire. Since 1958, five male and five female WVU students,

either senior undergraduates or senior graduate students, with both outstanding academic success and participation in extracurriculars, compete to win the title of both Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer. This year, Jake Byrne, Dillon Muhly-Alexander, Andrew Sutherland, Layne Veneri and Josh Watson are all competing for the ti-

tle of Mr. Mountaineer, and Shelby Boggs, Julie Peng, Abby Roberts, Samantha Shimer and Janelle Vickers will compete for Ms. Mountaineer. “The purpose is to acknowledge and recognize the accomplishments of our hard-working students who have a big heart,” said Sonja Wilson, Senior Programming Administrator for the

Mountainlair’s Administrative Office. “I can guarantee that the finalists each year are the best of the best.” The finalists are chosen by a panel of WVU faculty and staff based on the applicants’ academic achievements, extracurricular involvement and required essays. The majority of them participate in up to five extra-

curricular activities and in addition to being honors scholars, they embody the spirit of the Mountaineer, Wilson said--. “I am so thankful to have had the ability to get involved with so many amazing groups, programs, and organizations within my time at WVU,” said Josh Watson, a finalist for the title. “College is one of the most

challenging times in your life, and I just want to use my experiences to help others go first in any way that I can.” The gingham dresses and bibbed overalls might be left at home next Saturday, but there will be a crew of hardworking fellow Mountaineers waiting to see who will take home the titles of Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer.

OPINION Social media powerhouse Vine to be discontinued BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

Everyone’s favorite purveyor of six-second videos announced Tuesday that in a few months it will be discontinued. That’s more bad news for its parent company Twitter, which just slashed its staff by 10 percent. But when it comes to cultural impact, few social media platforms can boast what Vine accomplished in a short time. Vine influenced more than many will ever give it credit for. For instance, Vine had significant influence over music, bringing songs from lesser known artists to the charts. Vine gave significant boosts to songs like OG Maco’s “U Guessed It” and J Dash’s “Wop,” among many others. Vine also fostered the careers of many comedians and singers who became household names thanks to the app. Let’s look at where some of our favorite six-second video stars are now thanks to Vine. One thing they all share? They got in early (2013). Andrew “King Bach” Bachelor Bachelor has the strongest Vine following at 16.2 million making comedy videos. This led to multiple appearances in MTV’s “Wild N’ Out,” Fox’s “The Mindy Project,” and the film “Fifty Shades of Black.”

Nash Grier Grier also started on Vine in 2013, making comedy videos. Now he has more than 12.8 million followers on Vine, another 5.7 million followers on Twitter and a YouTube account of well over 4 million subscribers. Grier has also appeared on “The View” and “Good Morning America.” Shawn Mendes Mendes started on Vine with an acoustic cover of “As Long as You Love Me” by Justin Bieber and has since recorded multiple al-

bums debuting in the Billboard 200 with number one singles in the UK and US. The Canadian 18-yearold ironically mirrors Justin Bieber’s career. (Bieber was originally discovered on YouTube). Lele Pons Pons has the highest number of followers for any female on Vine and has the highest number of loops (views) on the app at more than 8.4 billion for her comedy videos. Pons has 1.9 million subscribers on her YouTube

channel, and more than 10 million followers on her Instagram. She has also appeared in YouTube Red series “Escape the Night” and MTV show “Scream.” Twitter has not said why it is axing the social media powerhouse. It’s only three years old, and last year Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey called it one of “our largest opportunities for growth.” Why does this matter? For our generation, Vine represents an open channel that anyone can participate in and become a star. It offered a huge variety of content and allowed users to push the envelope on creativity in the six second constraints. Stop-motion was employed in new ways to create surreal experiences. For example, to animate mechanical parts, make pages fly and couches talk, etc. What makes Vine unique is that every video can only be six seconds. This forces creators to tell a story in an incredibly short window: every moment counts, every detail matters. More than any other video platform, Vine was the one you’d pass back and forth with friends. You knew it wouldn’t eat up much time, and it would always surprise or entertain. Goodbye Vine. You gave us a lot in three years, and only six seconds at a time.

Students Sound Off: The discontinuation of Vine “Before, everyone watched long videos, Vine was the first to create this short video setup,” -Brice Grimes Senior Chemical Engineering student Vienna, WV

“Vine created a platform where anyone can provide a form of entertainment in a short six second period,” -Mansour Abdullah Sophomore Entrepreneurship and Innovation student Kuwait City, KW

“I feel like vine provided people a new platform for people to express themselves,” -Zachary Stickley Sophomore Education student Keyser, WV

Mountaineer Food Bank hosts mobile food pantry BY MOLLY TITUS CORRESPONDENT

A s p a r t o f W V U ’s Mountaineer Week, the Mountaineer Food Bank and the WVU Rack student food pantr y are hosting a mobile food pantry from 11 a.m to 1 p.m. on Friday. According to WV FOODLINK, a food justice research project of the WVU Department of Geology and Geography, Monongalia County has a slightly higher poverty rate than the state average of 18.5 percent, yet has only half as many f o o d a s s i s t a n c e p ro grams and WIC or SNAP retailers per capita as the

average. “Mon County has become a critical needs county and we are doing our best to focus on alleviating some of the hunger issues,” said Tambra, product flow coordinator for the Mountaineer Food Bank. As one of the largest distribution sites in West Virginia, the food bank provides a variety of rations from its warehouses for the mobile pantry. This year, the bank has struggled more with obtaining quality produce because of weather-related issues, but with the help of some generous donations you can still expect to find fresh fruits

County has become a critical “Mon needs county and we are doing our best to focus on alleviating some of the hunger issues. - Tambra, Product Flow Coordinator

and vegetables. “Students are definitely welcome and anyone in need is welcome,” Tambra said. “It goes from seniors to single families to middle class; ever yone seems to be struggling.” The mobile pantry will be located at 652 N. High St. Participants should bring a box or bag and will need to provide their name, address, phone number and household size.

Events like the Mobile Food Pantry are only made possible through donations to the food bank. Donations can be made at http://mountaineerfoodbank.org.

Motown Throwdown brings “Winter Wonderland” back to High Street BY AVERY LYONS

For more information visit http://TheDAOnline.com

CORRESPONDENT Who listens to Christmas music before Halloween? You might find yourself in the mood if you walk down High Street this Saturday to find a winter wonderland, complete with snowboarders performing daredevil tricks, in the middle of the road. Pathfinder will be presenting its 10th annual Motown Throwdown, a festival that celebrates winter sports culture in the Mountain State by hosting a rail jam-style snowboarding and skiing competition. Competitors will each have an allotted time to show off their best freestyle tricks on a course which mimics a streetscape, and the athlete who performs the best tricks is crowned the winner. Outdoor sports draw a big crowd in West Virginia, according to Pathfinder manager and event director Andrew Walker. Winter sports are especially popular, and still growing, as illustrated by the abundance of regional resorts. “Every year it’s becoming bigger and more affordable

as more people get into skiing and snowboarding,” Walker said. “You don’t have to go out West, it’s something you can do within one hour of home.” New features this year include a brand new setup, designed by Seven Springs Resort specifically for this event, as well as a street festival which will precede the competition. From noon to 5 p.m. the block outside Pathfinder will host vendors, food, music, a One Wheel Skate demo and local artists. The Rail Jam will go from 5-7:30 p.m. and will be immediately followed by a screening of the recently released Red Bull Media House documentary “The Fourth Phase” in the Met theater. Admission to the film is free with a student ID; otherwise, tickets are $8 and will double as raffle tickets in a drawing for a season pass to Seven Springs. The night will close at Mainstage Morgantown where the cover charge for the bluegrass concert will be reduced to $5 for anyone that shows their Fourth Phase tickets at the door.

FASHION FRIDAY

Last-minute Halloween costumes by Alainia Conrad,Fashion Columnist As a week-long celebration in Morgantown that falls shortly after midterms, the pressure to put together a Halloween costume can be overwhelming. Rather than spending upwards of $50 on Amazon to rush ship the officially licensed “Suicide Squad” Harley Quinn outfit, look to your closet to put together something cute (and free) for one of Morgantown’s seven days of Halloween. With a little hair and makeup and a monochromatic outfit, you can create a tried-and-true (albeit basic) last minute Halloween costume: an animal. Twist your hair into space buns (little double top knots) for ears or construct ears out of a headband and some paper, cardboard or fabric. Draw a nose and other little details, like whiskers or baby deer spots, on your face. Match your outfit to the color of your animal of choice, like a black cat, brown bear or gray squirrel. A Pinterest favorite, dressing up as a piece of sushi can be accomplished with a few household items—just wear all white for your rice and

2016 Mountaineers hope to be remembered BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER

FOOTBALL When the WVU football players met in the offseason, they had one message—this was their year. Now, with the program’s best start in 10 years, the Mountaineers are striving for more. “We all said, ‘this was going to be our year,” said WVU cornerback Rasul Douglas. “This was the goal.” Their goal was to start the conversation about how well put together the defense was and to add along to an im-

pressive record. Under defensive coordinator Tony Gibson, the Mountaineer defense was always considered one of the top units in college football. With Douglas, Maurice Fleming and Dravon AskewHenry controlling the secondary there was little doubt that their goal would be reached. Askew-Henry was coming off a season where he started all 13 games, Fleming was bringing experience from playing at Iowa and Douglas was projected to have a breakout year. However, in early Au-

gust, the WVU defense took a hit when Askew-Henry was sidelined with an ACL injury that ultimately ended his season. Though devastating, the injury was a rallying point for the group. “Dravon (Askew- Henry) was a big key to what we were running,” Douglas said. “He was a leader for us. So when he went down, he texted all of us and let us know.” While the injury is keeping Askew-Henry from competing, he is on the sidelines to provide insight for the secondary. “He’s a coach,” Douglas said. “He’s a coach. He lets

everyone know, he goes ‘you got to step inside.’ He puts his point in and lets you know what’s going on and what he sees, because when you’re in a game you don’t see everything.” Now, with Askew-Henry’s guidance, the Mountaineers allow 17.8 points per game, ranking in the top 15 in college football. But a 6-0 record is just the start of what the Mountaineers hope to accomplish. They want to be remembered. Much like how Mountaineer fans can name off a few players from WVU’s 6-0 start in 2006 like Pat White

and Steve Slaton, WVU players hope to leave a lasting impact in the program’s history. “We (were) tired of being ‘Oh, you only know a few players on that team,” Douglas said. “We want to be remembered as ‘Oh, that 2016 West Virginia team was good.’ That’s what we want to be.” Douglas brought up the 2000-03 University of Miami team as an example of a dynasty they want to emulate; a Miami team that shared a similar theme, where the defense make’s a standout impact. “When you think about

the U (Miami), you think about those dynasties they had,” Douglas said. “We’re trying to build one. It starts here.” The Mountaineers are focused on building its record, “nothing else matters,” according to Douglas. They are staying true to the pact they made in spring and fall to make it their year, and so far, it has. “I don’t know what message we are sending out. We just know we are winning and we want to win every game,” Douglas said.
