Campus hauntings: The ghosts of West Virginia University’s past EMILY ZEKONIS CORRESPONDENT

There’s something spooky lurking in the walls of WVU’s buildings, and it’s not the fear of Monday classes after Halloween weekend. Four of the University’s most popular buildings have links to paranormal ac-

tivity, with sightings that appeared to be man, spirit and even cow. The WVU Ghost Tour and Reception will be held at 7 p.m. Monday beginning in the Vandalia Lounge in the Mountainlair.

he Mountainlair is the perfect place to grab some lunch or make a new friend, even if that friend is a little spirit girl. Janitors of the Mountainlair have had many encounters with a little girl, Sally, who wears a yellow

Patty’s Art Spot provides originality, character to Morgantown art community BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD STAFF WRITER

Patty Loy-Colebank has been tattooing for nearly 20 years. She and her husband, Craig Colebank, own and operate Patty’s Art Spot. With two Morgantown locations specializing in tattoos and piercings, Patty has months-long waits for appointments. “I appreciate that people want my work enough that they don’t mind waiting for it, and I really do try to make it worth the wait,” she said. Both Patty and her husband began their careers at Thinkin’ Ink, a tattoo studio that was located in downtown Morgantown. They decided to continue their careers by creating a tat-

too studio in Star City. In December of 2015, they opened their second location, Patty’s Art Spot II on Beechurst. The life of a tattoo artist can be mundane, Patty said. She balances raising children, housework and running errands with her job— it just so happens that she gets paid to draw on people and talk all day. “One of the hard parts of our job is calming people down and making them feel comfortable while we poke them with needles. Usually, we can keep them talking and they can think about something other than how it feels,” Patty said. “It’s one of the really rewarding parts of our job, though. We learn so much about the

world and our customers by talking all day.” Macey Lewis, a freshman graphic design student at WVU, was encouraged by her mother to get her first tattoo at Patty’s Art Spot. “She’s very easy to work with and she will always do what you want with your art. She’s quite talented, and a nice person to talk to while you’re getting stabbed with a needle thousands of times,” Lewis said. Aside from tattooing, Patty sculpts, does watercolor and acrylic paintings, silver-smithing and makes sock critters. The most interesting aspect of Patty’s work is nearly all of her customers have an interesting story to go with the tattoo she gives them.

OPINION

North Carolina law vs. the First Amendment BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

Should sex offenders be allowed on social media? Social media has become a necessity in the modern world when it comes to marketing, networking and applying for jobs. It is a vital place for commentary and discussion for all issues. Social media is also a place minors congregate, where few properly follow steps to secure their profiles, and possibly don’t even know how. According to a North Carolina law that went into effect back in 2008, sex offenders aren’t allowed to access these sites, and if they do, it’s considered a felony. More particu-

larly, according to Reuters.com the law says that those listed on the state’s sex offender registry cannot access websites that can lead to interactions with minors. This law is now heading to the Supreme Court to determine whether it infringes on the constitutional right of free speech. This precedent will soon be set, as the Supreme Court has accepted hearing the case of Lester Packingham from North Carolina, a listed sex offender from a 2002 conviction for his interactions at 21 with a 13 year old. Packingham was arrested in 2010 when police found his post on Facebook about a traffic citation. Packingham received a six to eight month jail

sentence that was later thrown out in appeals court on account of infringing on the First Amendment, a decision then overturned by North Carolina’s own Supreme Court. The Internet has been a confusing place for the First Amendment for a long time. When it comes to what you can say online or who can say it, things tend to get murky. Even the North Carolina law itself is incredibly open-ended, with little clarification on exactly which websites offenders can and can’t use. According to scotusblog. com, the web sites in question (and therefore off-limits) are defined as meeting the following requirement, among others: “(The sites) Facilitate the

social introduction between two or more persons for the purposes of friendship, meeting other persons or information exchanges.” The clarification above may as well be a gigantic exhale. This line could cover an alarming number of websites with absolutely no clarification as to what is truly out of bounds. By this excerpt’s metric, sites like reddit and even news sites that allow users to register to comment fall out of line. Is it rational to draw this distinction? And more importantly, is it rational to draw this distinction so vaguely? While we bash any hint of censorship we hear in news, we’d be absolute hypocrites to

look past a potential case of it in our own country just because it affects registered sex offenders. Let’s say the lines are drawn a little finer and clarification is made. What social media deserves to be blocked for those on the sex offender registry in the state, if any? According to statista.com, the most common age demographic for Facebook users in January was 20-29 year olds at 28 percent, with the age group of 13-19 year olds at 8 percent. Few if any other social media sites have demographics listed that includes those under 18. Does the lack of easily available statistics on the number of minors using these sites make them acceptable. There are few relevant prec-

edents for this case in the Supreme Court when it comes to the First Amendment and social media. The closest is the case of Pennsylvanian Anthony Elonis, who posted threats on his Facebook about his wife (who reportedly had protective orders against him) which he claimed were actually original rap lyrics, and had his jail sentence thrown out by the Supreme Court in 2015. We should see a decision for Packingham’s case likely in late June. It will be a major case moving forward when it comes to the First Amendment in the world of the Internet, and will likely set a precedent that will be revisited for years to come.

Vote from an understanding, not from a meme BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

Memes have never been more apparent or significant in a presidential election as they have in 2016. This year’s presidential race has seen floods of memes across all social media insulting one or all of the presidential candidates. This election has set a precedent both in scale of these memes as well as real-life impact of them. USA Today called memes the “Lingua franca of the modern campaign,” and it’s no surprise to those paying any attention. We’ve seen the power of

memes in plenty of areas in 2016, effectively closing down the Cincinnati Zoo’s social media accounts with negative response to the killing of Harambe, burying popular artists from the top of their genre’s to no-names and plenty in-between. Memes have become an important conveyor of information for many as they fill social media timelines across the board, but the problem is they don’t have to account for the information they spew. They, more than any other form of delivering information, embody the contentious, snappy and not necessarily cited or factual nature

of content that is championed across social media. How much fact and citation can be covered in 140 characters anyways? People aren’t necessarily retweeting what they find the most factual, they’re retweeting what they find the funniest, or what affirms of their own opinions. The problem is that not everyone is in on the joke, and not everybody is joking. Sometimes memes are incredibly false on purpose, as was the case for Ted Cruz. Cruz was on the receiving end of the Internet-at-large with the joke that he was the notorious serial killer from the 60’s and 70’s, the Zodiac Killer.

Cruz was only born in 1970, and obviously has no connection to the case. This, however, didn’t stop the Internet. We didn’t just see this joke on our timelines though, the joke managed to even affect polls of new voters. In a poll of prospective Florida voters by Public Policy Polling from early 2016, 10 percent of voters said they think he is the zodiac killer, and 28 percent said they were not sure. Even accounting for non-serious answers, the fact that this utterly untrue meme managed to make its way to such a significant place is huge—and terrifying. What’s bigger is that this

isn’t the most significant stage we’ve seen memes reach this election. When Donald Trump’s twitter account tweeted, “Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obama— but nobody else does!” Clinton’s own responded, “Delete your account.” During the Presidential debate Clinton attacked Trump with, “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country,” the crowd erupted when Trump responded, “Because you’d be in jail.” It wasn’t the policies or

ideas that got this reaction from the supposed to be silent-crowd, it was the snappy contentious one-liner. In a reactionary world resting on the engine of social media, memes have become an incredibly important and active method of sharing information that have real-time effects on the world outside of user’s timelines. When it comes to the real world impact, there’s dangerous and volatile potential laying underneath the surface. If you’re voting this election, we ask that you look deeper than 16 words on a picture of a candidate before you do. Even if it’s funny.

Mountaineer Week fiddle contest sounds like home BY JACKSON MONTGOMERY CULTURE EDITOR

If you walk down High Street any Saturday night in Morgantown, chances are you’ll see hoards of students wandering in and out of the clubs, echoes of bass blossoming out after them as they head to the next spot to get down. Henry Barnes, winner of this past Saturday’s Mountaineer Week fiddle contest reminds us, “People didn’t all of a sudden start getting drunk at bars and dancing like idiots. They’ve been doing it forever.” Fiddle music came to Appalachia with the earliest settlers and spread across the land, becoming the most popular lead instrument for dance music in the 1800’s. Players traveling the Ohio River on steamboats shared

tunes up and down the river that spread into the mountains. Community gatherings such as barn-raisings and harvests were often followed by dancing accompanied by fiddle. The simple melodies and rhythms were passed down through oral tradition and remain a definitive element of West Virginia culture. As part of its mission to educate the WVU community on regional history, Mountaineer Week hosts the Elmer Rich Memorial Fiddle Contest each year. This year’s was in the Mountainlair’s Gluck Theatre on Saturday night. Seventeen fiddlers of all ages from West Virginia and her neighboring states presented two tunes each, some with accompanying guitars or banjos.

Four judges carefully reviewed each player to decide a winner for the junior (under 18), senior (over 65) and overall categories, as well as the best heritage tune: Competitors had the option to present a piece specifically from West Virginia traditions, learned from a WV heritage fiddler to be eligible for this category. After a solid two hours of incredible performances the winners were announced. For the juniors, Kiara Williams, 15, of Rock Cave, WV took first place. For the seniors, it was John Morris of Clay County. Henry Barnes, 24, of Columbus, OH won both the overall and heritage categories with his renditions of Lincoln Taylor’s “Uncle Joe” and his heritage piece entitled “Red Bird.” “I thought if I just pulled

the stops out and played ‘Red Bird’ for the heritage tune, maybe I’d have a chance,” Barnes said. Barnes learned the piece from a version recorded by famed West Virginia fiddler Clark Kessinger, who learned it from fellow WV legend French Mitchell. Barnes went on to say Mitchell attributed “Red Bird” to a black fiddler who could only play with one finger— an outstanding feat for such a fast-paced tune. “Being a Mountaineer is about much more than attending WVU,” said Rachel Eddy, who played for the square dance after the contest. “It is grounded in the culture of West Virginia, its people, traditional fiddle music, square dancing, folklore, craft and much more. This fiddle

Wild Zero hosts second annual Halloween party at parlor BY JEFFREY SCOTT CORRESPONDENT

Wild Zero Tattoo Studio has been inking Morgantown residents for more than a decade, but this is only the second year of what is quickly becoming a tradition: The Annual Wild Zero Halloween Party. A tattoo parlor might sound like a strange venue for a party, but with its creepy décor and

walls of interesting drawings and photos, Wild Zero is the perfect fit. From a life-size and monstrous looking bat, to a pickled zombie head perched atop a water cooler, the studio was perfectly decked out for Halloween. Wild Zero opened 10 years ago with studio owner Eric Cwarlson’s drive for quality artwork helping Zero etch out a name for itself. “We don’t care about doing

stuff really fast,” Carlson said. “We just care about doing really good work.” Those who went to the party enjoyed wings, booze and good company as costumed and tattooed attendees mingled and adorned the atmosphere. Sam Wilkinson and Bobbi Nisbitt were two of the more colorfully clad of the night, appearing as a gender swapped Red Riding Hood and Big Bad

Wolf, with Wilkinson donning a bushy beard and short red skirt. “I work out,” Wilkinson said, after another party-goer dressed as Waldo complimented his legs. As for 2017’s Wild Zero Halloween Party, Carlson shared a few ideas. “Next year will be even better. Lots of food, drink, and maybe some more time spent decorating.”

LISTICLE ANDREW SPELLMAN / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

A guide to Halloween costumes in Morgantown Whether you’re going downtown or hitting the streets to trick-or-treat, these are some things you need to know about the costumes you’ll see this Halloween, according to Spirit Halloween in Morgantown.

. Clowning around

. Make the best of what you’ve got

. Political prowess

. Cute and comfortable

Creepy clown sightings have continued to make news headlines. While regular, colorful clown costumes sat on the shelves, a few disturbing clown masks were left scattered around the store this year, even at $26.99. Another popular mask choice was the V for Vendetta Anonymous mask from the activist/hacktivist group, at only $8.99.

Accessories are a quick and simple addition to the outﬁt you already own in your closet. “A lot of people are making homemade costumes, especially college students,” said Megan Lloyd, a senior at WVU. At $14.99, accessories like cat and cheetah ears and tails were in high demand and made a great last-minute option.

Presidential candidate costumes and accessories were another big hit this year. Only a few “comb over candidate” wigs, at $6.99, were left on the rack, and all other Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump pieces sold out quickly.

Every year, controversy arises about conservative and revealing costumes, but this year the red corsets, at $29.99, and fishnet stockings spent their final days on the shelves, while cute costumes like “emoji” and food oriented outfits, like donuts and pizza slices, flew off the rack.

WVU women’s soccer finishes season strong with impressive win BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER

FOOTBALL The WVU women’s soccer team sent one of its most successful senior classes in program history out with a bang with a 3-0 win over Oklahoma State (9-7-3, 3-4-1 Big 12) on Friday night. Before the match, WVU honored senior Ashley Lawrence, Kadeisha Buchanan, Carly Black and Ashley Woolpert, while also presenting a commemorative ball to head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown in honor of the program’s 300th victory last weekend. The win means WVU finishes the regular season 161-1, 8-0 Big 12, its best record in school history. The Mountaineers finished Big 12 Conference play without allowing a single goal, outscoring their opponents 15-0 through eight games. It wasn’t all smooth sailing for WVU. Some of the issues that the Mountaineers had against Texas last weekend reemerged early in the match against the Cowgirls. There were poorly timed passes, poor touches of the ball, and the Mountaineers gave away the ball in bad areas against an opportunistic Oklahoma State attack. “We were off a step in the first half, but the girls came together and realized it needed to adjust to what

OSU was doing to us,” Izzo-Brown said. “I thought the team did a great job adjusting and finding the back of the net. Our passing was crisper, our movement was better and we got better looks.” Oklahoma State playing five defenders made it tough for players to move forward and mount an attack on WVU’s stout defense, as the Cowgirls didn’t even record their first shot until the 55th minute. The Mountaineers opened the scoring in the 49th minute with a Carla Portillo corner kick. The junior midfielder’s ball into the penalty box was headed across the face of the goal by junior forward Michaela Abam, where it fell to sophomore forward Sh’Nia Gordon just inside the far post, who put it in the back of the net. The goal was Gordon’s fourth of the season. Sophomore for ward Grace Cutler added a second goal to seal the deal for the Mountaineers in the 76th minute. Lawrence bolted down the left wing, and cut inside along the end line to deliver a ground cross that found the Cutler’s foot a few yards away from the goal. It was a Senior Night to remember for Woolpert. She scored her first and only goal of the season, and the first goal of her career in the 81st minute; blasting a bending free kick into the top left cor-

ner from about 30 yards out. “I can’t even describe it in words,” Woolpert said. “I honestly feel like it didn’t even happen. The team is so happy for me, and it was amazing.” WVU managed to successfully keep Big 12 leading goal scorer Courtney Dike in check. The combined efforts of Buchanan and sophomore defender Easther Mayi Kith proved to be too much for the Cowgirls’ forward. “We did not want to give her any time or space to turn because she is so deadly when she turns,” Izzo-Brown said. “I thought Easther and (Buchanan) did a great job pressure-covering every time she got the ball. Most importantly, she didn’t see the net.” Even though they locked the conference championship up with a win over TCU two games ago, the Mountaineers were presented with the Big 12 championship trophy after the match. With the regular season out of the way, the Mountaineers will now turn their attention to postseason play and the Big 12 tournament, which begins next week on Wednesday Nov. 2 in Kansas City, Mo. WVU will open the tournament against Texas Tech, the same Red Raiders squad that knocked it out of the tournament in the semifinals last year. WVU defeated Texas Tech 1-0 during the regular season.
