WVU grad set to reveal, redeﬁne W.Va. BY CARLEE LAMMERS CITY EDITOR

When Elaine McMillion sees McDowell County she sees beyond a hollow and broken community – she sees potential to empower and redefine rural America. McMillion, a southern West Virginia native and West Virginia University alumna, along with five other W.Va. natives will live and work in McDowell County this summer and produce the interactive documentary “Hollow.” “‘Hollow’ will be an interac-

The main issues they are currently experiencing are population loss and unemployment,” McMillion said. “These issues will be faced, and these stories will be told

through the eyes of the people that live there.” Community members will take part in the filmmaking process by learning how to create their own documentaries and balloon maps to tell their personal stories. In 1950, when the coal market was booming, McDowell County was named “the nation’s coal bin” and home to nearly 100,000 people. Today, only 22,000 remain. According to demographers, the 10 communities that make up McDowell County are just years away

from extinction, McMillion said. “When industry abandons the people who made it great, it leaves behind a lot more questions than answers,” McMillion said. “The population loss is just too severe in my opinion. It’s a personal issue for all of us, and we want to do what we can to help the future generations.” “Hollow” will also aim to empower and give voice to those who in the past have had none, she said. “A lot of people are curious as to why we chose McDowell

This is a place to defy stereotypes and engage in joining together on these serious issues,” she said. “This is a chance to empower citizens and let them know that they can tell their own stories.” With all of the hardship this area has endured, McMillion said she hopes “Hollow” will spark communication and trust within the local community – and ultimately the nation.

WVU Gender Equality Movement Takes Back the Night, demands a safer campus BY CARLEE LAMMERS CITY EDITOR

Shatter the silence and stop the violence. Members of the West Virginia University Gender Equality Movement hosted a “Take Back the Night” event Thursday to raise awareness of sexual assault, domestic abuse and rape, as well as demand a safer campus. “ Violence on college campuses is so prevalent,”

said GEM coordinator Melissa Chesanko. “One in four women will survive a sexual assault on a college campus, and it doesn’t help them to have that feeling of ‘I feel alone’, so we try to build a community.” The event included a performance by spoken word artist Crystal Leigh Endsley, a march to end violence, a candlelight vigil to honor survivors and victims and a speak out in which participants had

the opportunity to share their personal stories. Senior criminology student Brittany Andrews said she believes the issues of rape and sexual assault are not stressed heavily enough. “This is an issue that is so serious, but not a lot of people bring attention to it, so I think it’s good to raise awareness,” she said. “I feel like there just isn’t a lot of information about it on this campus.” Chesanko said she believes

in order to eliminate violence on campus, students must undergo a shift in perspective on sexuality. “I think a shift in perspective is necessary. We need to change our attitude on gender culture that is prevalent on so many college campuses. We need to eliminate sexism,” she said. “It’s a much bigger picture than just teaching people something – that’s

Grads reflect, reminisce at senior send off BY BRYAN BUMGARDNER ASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR

For graduating seniors, college may be over, but their new lives are just beginning. The West Virginia University Erickson Alumni Center hosted the 13th annual Senior SendOff : Zero Year Reunion Thursday night. At the event, graduating seniors had an opportunity to enjoy food, entertainment and prizes while reminiscing with classmates. “This is a good transition. It’s great to meet with friends one last time and learn about the alumni association,” said Tara Curtis, director of communications at the alumni center. All graduating seniors re-

ceive one free year of membership in the WVU Alumni Association, and Curtis encourages graduates to stay active in the association. “Lots of students get job offers through alumni. You never know where you could meet someone who can land you a job,” she said. Admission was free for the event, and dinner was provided. Students also received vouchers for two free drinks at the bar, and beer on tap was available. Participants’ names were put into a raffle for prizes including season basketball and football tickets, WVU apparel and an iPad.

Bahr has been named one of the top ten financial advisors by Registered Rep., a leading financial industry magazine. She is the managing partner of Bahr Investment Group, and she is a successful entrepreneur and wealth manager with more than twenty years of experience. Wall was named one of the top 250 financial advisors in the country by “Worth” magazine eight years in a row and specializes in guiding people through difficult life transitions including divorce and widowhood. The two women created the Women’s Institute for Financial Education and cowrote a book titled “It’s More Than Money – It’s Your Life!” Free copies of the book were handed out at the event.

Huggins’ cancer fund receives local grant The Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center at West Virginia University has received $6,250 for the Norma Mae Huggins Endowment Fund from Little General Stores, Inc., which received a grant from British Petroleum. Little General received money for the Huggins Cancer Research Fund and Toys for Tots as part of BP’s Fueling Communities program, which provides local organizations with money to promote health, education, youth, food or housing. The money from Little General and funds Coach Huggins has already raised will go directly toward supporting cancer clinical trials at the MBRCC, said Scot Remick, director of the Cancer Center. “Every dollar counts and every dollar raised is going di-

Conference gives women ﬁnancial tips, conﬁdence The West Virginia University Erickson Alumni Center hosted the 29th annual Women & Money conference Thursday morning for more than 100 women eager to learn how to have a successful financial future. The conference was designed to empower the attendees to make smart financial decisions. Presentations at the event covered topics like retirement, getting out of debt, saving for college and creating a balanced budget. West Virginia State Treasurer John Perdue said he brought the series to Morgantown to reach University students. “I think it’s critical that students start learning at a very young age about how to put a budget together, that a credit card is not their answer and a new car when they get out of college is not their answer,” Perdue said. “They have to figure out how to manage their money and save for their future. By doing that, they would be able to take care of themselves in

“The problems in McDowell County are far too severe, but we hope it starts to spark dialogue. We think that communication builds trust, and the more neighbors talk to each other, the better sense of community it builds,” she said. “Th e social fabric has been ripped there. We want to get the community to start talking together again, then take their ideas and use them to empower those in other places.” In order to cover costs for production, workshops,

Remick said Huggins has undoubtedly played a big part in getting the community involved. “Coach Huggins has raised nearly one million dollars through the Norma Mae Huggins Endowment Fund to support cancer clinical trials at MBRCC,” Remick said. “A significant portion of these funds has been matched by the West Virginia Research Trust Fund.” Remick said the money raised by the Norma Mae Huggins Endowment Fund will be put to good use as the health care professionals at the center diligently search for an end to cancer. “Cancer research is vital if we are to improve our ability

appearance.

Tonight: Enjoy the one you are with.

BORN TODAY You have a very appealing manner that draws many people to you. However, because you are surrounded by so many admirers, often jealousy comes into play. Be careful as to what you promise, and make sure you are clear about your expectations and desires. If you are single, you might commit to someone, only to suddenly find the bond volatile. Try to avoid commitment this year. If you are attached, the two of you often find that you disagree. Learn to respect your sweetie’s perspective, and peace will be restored. PISCES spends money differently than you do.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) ★★★★ You see a situation much diﬀerently than a partner. Through what might be animated conversation, you come to terms. If you detach, you see this person’s caring. Otherwise, anger could be the result. Know you are cared about. Tonight: Catch up on calls.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) ★★★★ Take a serious look at a schedule change. You clearly cannot do as you desire with your present commitments. Though you may not see the path immediately, it is there. Brainstorm with a buddy. Tonight: Buy something for your home or roommate.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) ★★★★ Be sensitive to your needs ﬁnancially. A close partner might have a diﬀerent perspective and interests. This person has a very caring manner that often ropes you in. Know your limits, and be willing to say “no.” Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) ★★★★ Make calls, schedule meetings and do not forget to make or conﬁrm weekend plans. You could be overwhelmed by all that you have to do. News coming in from a distance could trigger a strong reaction. Sort fact from ﬁction. Tonight: You don’t have to go far,

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) ★★★★ You might want to pull back and get a better understanding of a friendship. This person sometimes goes overboard. Anger develops when you least expect it. Could someone expect more than you can give? Tonight: Get some R and R. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) ★★★★★ Being driven points a venture toward success. Another person’s creative idea might backﬁre. No matter how nice you are when you nix this concept, the end results could be volatile. Do not spend too much energy on this issue. Tonight: Find your friends. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) ★★★★ Be as upbeat as you can when dealing with a higher-up or boss. Listen to feedback. On a personal level, your home life could be disruptive. Do not take the events here into your professional life. Focus on your public image. Tonight: A must

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) ★★★ Recognize how easily triggered you are. Pull back rather than lose your temper. Words spoken could cause a problem and cannot be taken back. A partner or another person you are ﬁnancially tied to triggers strong reactions. Tonight: The only answer is yes. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) ★★★★ Sitting on strong feelings could be diﬃcult. Pick and choose the timing to release your aggravation. Go back to the original issue. Others keep requesting your help with various projects. Toss yourself into at least one. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) ★★★★ You are all smiles, no matter how you look at a situation. A friend might be aggressive about you pursuing a certain path. You know how to say no, but in this case, it might not be heard. Trust your judgment.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) ★★★ Only you can decide what to do with your funds. You do not always have to defer to a partner. You care a lot about this person, regardless of how volatile he or she might be, yet you do not have to say yes all the time. Tonight: Make sure your budget is in the plus column.

There are two different sizes available: A 2 col. x 2” ad and a 2 col. x 4” ad. These ads run in full color for maximum visibility. All inches will count towards your regular contract. Spaces are limited, so book your ad today!

TERMS AND POLICIES Out-of-town and new advertising accounts must pre-pay for advertising until credit is established. All political, “closing”, and “going out of business” advertising must be prepaid. To establish a credit account, an advertiser is required to complete a credit application and pre-pay until credit has been verified. (Please allow 30 days for approval.) All accounts which have been granted billing privileges are allowed 30 days past the billing date to pay the balance in full. All balances not paid in 30 days are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month. Any errors on billing invoices must be brought to management’s attention within 30 days of receipt of invoice. In the case of a disputed charge, the remainder of the balance due should be paid along with written notification for the reason of the amount withheld. No adjustment will be made for errors that do not materially affect the value of the advertisement. Advertising which has minor discrepancies such as misspelling or small type transposition, but which do not affect the ability of the reader to respond to the ad will be considered substantially correct and full payment will be required. The Daily Athenaeum is not responsible for advertisements which do not appear. All negotiations regarding a complaint are dealt with on an individual basis and must be personally approved by the director. Accounts not paid in 120 days from billing date are considered delinquent and will be turned over for collection at the accountant’s discretion. No advertising will be accepted on delinquent accounts until the balance is paid. The Daily Athenaeum retains the right to refuse any ad for any reason. All advertising phraseology and/or subject matter is subject to editing, altering, approval, or rejection by the student business manager and the student ad/editorial board of The Daily Athenaeum. Ads created by The Daily Athenaeum will be available for proofing prior to publication. Proof service is to correct typographical errors and deviations from the original layout- not for alterations, size changes, or additions of new copy. When proofs are delivered, responsibility for correction is that of the advertiser. Upon approval, The Daily Athenaeum is no longer liable for errors. Additional charges may be assessed for more than two proof changes. Positioning of advertisements in the paper will be done on a request basis and handled as such. Requests for positions will be honored when possible but no page position can be guaranteed. Any standard advertising position may be purchased at 25% of the cost of said advertisement when possible (minimum advertising size will be 10 inches). Positions will be sold on a first come, first serve basis. Advertising simulating news can be set in body type, but must carry the word “advertisement”. Normally, no display advertising will be published upside down, sideways, or in any other manner that is not in the keeping with good, traditional newspaper make-up.

DISTRIBUTION The Daily Athenaeum is distributed at 378 locations in and around both the Evansdale and Downtown campuses, reaching the entire University community of some 35,000. Our market includes students, faculty, staff, Morgantown residents, and visitors to campus.
