Violent crime rate is down; murder rate is up in Morgantown BY ANI HOVHANNISYAN CORRESPONDENT
One in 293 people have a chance to become a violent crime victim in Morgantown, according to http://Neighborhoodscout.com, which creates statistical comparisons about different locations based on FBI Crime Reports.
Violent Crime + Murder rates in Morgantown 2012-2014
Firearm Murder rates in WV by gun type
Fifty to 75 percent of firearm murders in West Virginia have been committed by handguns, according to FBI Reports from 2010 - 2014. There are less rifles and shotgun murders in 2014 compared to 2011 and 2012. The violent crime rate has decreased in Morgantown, but there has been an increase in the murder rate, accordingly. FBI Uniform Crime Report shows that in 2012 there were 107 violent crime cases: 76 aggravated assault, 26 robberies, four forcible rapes and one murder case. There was no registered murder case in 2013. According to the same report, there were 81 violent crime cases in 2014, two of which were murders.
We have compared murder rate records of eight university towns with populations lower than 50 thousand people located in southern and northeastern parts of the United States. FBI Uniform Crime Report shows that in 2014, Morgantown had one of the highest murder rates compared to seven other university towns. five murder cases have been
registered in Charlottesville, Virginia, two murder cases in Morgantown and East Lansing, Michigan and one case was recorded in Binghamton, New York. There were no such records in the remaining four towns.
WV total murder and firearm rates 2010-2014 FBI last Uniform Crime Report shows the total murder rate in West Virginia has increased, but there is a remarkable cutback in firearm murder cases. In 2012, 71 percent of murders in WV known of by law enforcementwere the result of gunfire use. In 2014 that number decreased to 25 percent.

Puppies make a splash at Marilla Park pool
BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD CORRESPONDENT
“Take Your Puppy to the Pool Day” brought families, friends and k-9s of all kinds together for Animal Friends’ and Marilla Park’s annual event Sunday. Aside from providing local dogs with a pool day, Animal Friends, a local animal shelter, brought along dogs looking for their own forever homes so they could mingle with guests and their fur babies. Carol Mangone, secretary of Animal Friends Board of Directors, has been with the adoption center since 2000.
“It seems to progressively get bigger every year,” Mangone said. “It’s about one o’clock, and we’ve had over 250 people and 265 dogs come in since 11 a.m. Luckily people leave, or it would be overflowing!” Marilla Park lets the owners and their dogs come in for a day of fun to splash around before the pool is drained and the park is closed for the season.

Underused Student Resources: Student Legal Services BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR
Did you know you have a lawyer on payroll? If you’re a WVU student you do. WVU’s Student Legal Services (SLS) is a group of university employees headed by attorney Carrie Showalter and located in Elizabeth Moore Hall. The DA spoke to Showalter about the role of the SLS on campus. So, what does SLS do for students? “We actually offer a wide
range of legal services,” Showalter said. “We do everything from one-time complications to resolving things through litigation.” Housing issues come up the most. “We do lease reviews for students. For us that’s really important for students to come in and have a lease reviewed before they sign. They get desperate, they jump into a legally binding contract. Let us look over the lease before signing it. We can give some history on issues we’ve had
and point them in the right direction.” The one thing they can’t do? “We cannot represent students in criminal cases (this is against code), but we can help them expunge their charges later,” Showalter said. “A lot of people get arrested and cited the first weeks of school.” Showalter encourages students to turn to SLS first. “In general, we do a range of services. We should be their (students’) first call, if
it’s a case we can’t handle we can get them to where someone can. “We have people that come in and they’re kind of desperate before graduating. When a student gets a citation before they do anything they really need to call us. A lot of these cases can be dismissed and taken on a different path.” Social media is another issue the office deals with. “We talk a lot about social media, and what not to do on social media— particularly for students searching
for jobs.” SLS offers all of these services free to students, since the office operates off student fees, but sometimes wait times can exceed what people expect. “We try to keep the wait time to about a week,” Showalter said. “But sometimes (issues taking) longer than a week come in. If it’s an emergency issue we will try very hard to get people in.” SLS staff are available by appointment and offer walk-in hours Monday and
Wednesday from 4:45 p.m. to 7 p.m. in G-5 of Elizabeth Moore Hall.

Students for Sensible Drug Policy President on Bill Cole’s plan to combat drugs in WV BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR
Republican Bill Cole, a candidate for governor, released a seven-step plan to combat drugs last week. Adam Hamrick, president of WVU’s Students for Sensible Drug Policy called the plan “nothing new.” “Politicians make grand promises and aren’t able to deliver on them,” he said. He responded to each of the points presented in Cole’s plan. ACTION POINT #1: My first act as Governor will be to call the Legislature into a special session to deal with the drug epidemic. “The special legislature session calling is kind of bullshit, and ‘drug epidemic’ was a little media frenzyish,” Hamrick said. ACTION POINT #2: I will
work with the Legislature to pass harsher penalties, including mandatory sentencing for drug kingpins who are peddling meth and heroin to our children. In addition, the legislature is already working on a bill to make it clear that any death resulting in the sale of drugs would carry a murder charge. Hamrick’s biggest fear, he said, is Cole’s ability to act meaningfully on step two. “(Mandatory sentences are) something I’m never a big fan of, especially in cases like this.” ACTION POINT #3: In addressing our laws as they relate to non-violent drug offenses, we must continue to support and expand our state’s juvenile and adult drug courts. I will seek to ensure judges maintain the flexibility and discretion to provide appropriate direction to those who have fallen victim
to the perils of drug addiction and substance abuse, and who demonstrate the potential to get clean, get a job, and return as a productive member of society. “He wants to expand drug courts, but he also says he wants to give judges more power to discern what to do with certain cases, while also calling for mandatory minimums,” Hamrick said. “Which way are you going?” ACTION POINT #4: I will use existing positions within the Governor’s office to create the Office of Drug Action to coordinate an intra-agency task force made up of the Secretaries of the Departments of Commerce, Education and the Arts, Health and Human Resources and Military Affairs and Public Safety as well as other appropriate state agencies. Hamrick considered the inclusion of some of these
groups a good idea, but not all of them. ACTION POINT #5: I will immediately begin to identify, inventory and evaluate all of the education, treatment, recovery and job placement programs that are currently utilized by state and local government as well as those offered by nonprofit and private organizations. I will prioritize these initiatives and redirect public funding and private funding to those enterprises with a proven record of success. Hamrick liked Cole’s focus on education, treatment and recovery. “Education always leads to less overdoses.” ACTION POINT #6: I will leverage federal dollars for job training funding to train laid off workers for rehabilitation jobs and repurpose existing buildings using existing federal dollars to create and
expand the availability of treatment centers for anyone who wants help. The state will aggressively pursue federal drug grants that we are currently missing to ensure that when someone calls a hotline for help, there will be a treatment program available for them in their area. “I feel like the issue would be implementing it,” Hamrick said. “Sounds like a great idea, but some of those drug rehabilitation jobs, it’s not like you can just go to a seminar and be good to go. Some of that you need a counseling degree. I think he’s highly underestimating what levels of effort this would take.” ACTION POINT #7: I will launch an unprecedented program of awareness and education targeted at supporting and expanding our current drug prevention and resistance programs, and provide additional substan-
tive information on the destructive nature of the problem through a broader range of delivery systems, including social media. “I’d like to see more educational programs. I feel like if he’s going into rehab programs that should definitely be something that’s a part of it,” Hamrick said. “Especially saving money on rehab programs. I’m sure a blip on a radio costs less than sending someone to rehab.” Overall, Cole’s plan was better than Hamrick was expecting, he said. “It was a step forward and maybe half a step back with at least the mandatory sentencing, I would’ve liked to see more focus on pure education, and maybe lowering sentences. I was pleasantly surprised with it.”

Comics, and characters and cosplay; oh my! BY LEAH SCHOOLCRAFT CORRESPONDENT
WVPOP began in 2011 and has become one of the biggest pop culture and comic book conventions in West Virginia. This weekend, the Mylan Park Expo Center in Morgantown hosted the Fifth Annual WV Pop Culture Convention, where passion for the art of comics, fandoms and video games was overflowing. More than 1,500 people attended the event on Saturday, alone. This was Erica Campbell-Stillings third year
attending WVPOP. She is the co-owner of the Cracked Egg, a company that makes crafts out of recycled materials. “I love getting to see all of the artwork and the costumes,” she said. “It helps that like-minded people finally have somewhere to go and express themselves.” Many fans showed up in cosplay, meaning they dressed as their favorite characters. Some costumes were simple, but others looked realistic and were of extravagant design. Characters ranged in variety,

busters and even Hogwarts students. This was Rhiannon Hoban’s first time at the convention.
“It’s only been my second (convention),” she said. “It’s been overwhelming but it’s been so much fun at the same time.” Hoban works at ‘Wood You Be Mine,’ a company that produces wooden crafts. “My dad and I work on (the crafts) together as a team,” Hoban said. “I do all of the wood burning and painting and he does the actual building of the statues and little boxes we make.” Many vendors brought handmade art to sell. Some recreated their fa-
vorite characters into a drawing or painting, while others crafted memorabilia for fans to add to their own collection. Blake Renworth, author of ‘The Exiled Seven,’ explained how she began writing and gave advice to young artists that may be looking to follow in her footsteps. “The best advice I can give to someone is to follow what works for them,” she said. “Even if it is going against all the advice they are getting, all that matters is that it works for you.”
New Jersey goes ham: Pork Roll or Taylor Ham? BY EMILY ZEKONIS CORRESPONDENT
COURTESY OF HTTPS://EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG/WIKI/PORK_ROLL
Some people order pop at a soda fountain, some order a hoagie at a subway, but in New Jersey there is a bigger controversy that stirs up when someone orders a “pork roll” sandwich in northern Jersey. “If you say pork roll that’s just wrong,” said a northern New Jersey native, Kyle Kalomeris. “No one in New Jersey or New York says ‘pork roll’, it’s Taylor Ham.” Fellow North Jersey native Morgan Williams agreed and even argued with her south-
ern N.J. friend Tori Defrisco when she disagreed. “She doesn’t know what she’s talking about, it’s Taylor Ham,” Williams stated in disgust. The product is formally called “Taylor Pork Roll,” but was not orginially marketed under this name, which is where the controversy originated. Created in Trenton, N.J., the pork based product was originally called “Taylor Ham.” Interestingly enough, Trenton is a part of the southern half who claim the product is called a “pork roll.” The name change came
about 50 years after its creation, due to other competitors entering the market and regulation changes. The name was switched to “Taylor Pork Roll” because it did not meet the legal requirements of a ham. Countless polls and tallies have been counted up in the home state of the pork product to try and decide one common name, to ensure correct sandwich orders and peace across the state, but no conclusion has been reached. Even N.J. native students at West Virginia University are pulled over this pork.

Women’s Soccer rolls to 3-1 victory over Saint Francis BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER
Coming on the heels of its 1-0 win over No. 8 Clemson, the No. 6 ranked West Virginia University women’s soccer team continued its winning ways yesterday with a 3-1 win over the St. Francis (PA) Red Flash. West Virginia overcame oppressive heat and a feisty St. Francis (0-4-0) team to extend its winning streak to three. The Mountaineers (3-01) maintained possession from the opening kick, controlling play from midfield and building up attacks into the final third of the pitch. “It’s tough to score when they put so many numbers behind the ball,” said WVU head coach Nikki Iz-
zo-Brown. “They were very compact, and when that happens that net gets smaller and smaller and those windows of opportunity are small as well. We have to give St. Francis a lot of credit to how they came out and just sat behind the ball for most of the game.” St. Francis got the early goal off a counterattack in the 16th minute after a cross from Sara Suler led to a header from Shannon McGinnis, which was saved by junior goalkeeper Michelle Newhouse, but the ensuing rebound wasn’t cleared by the WVU defense and McGinnis slotted it home for the visiting team. “That’s called a wake-up call,” Izzo-Brown said. “That showed that we had to get moving, we had to show some focus, and bring more
intensity. They played Thursday, we played Friday, so they had a little more energy, but I was not happy with our first half performance. “I challenged them at that point. I asked them ‘what do you want our season to look like?’ and we had 45 more minutes to look it in the face, and they responded, so I was proud of their second 45 minutes of play.” Seniors Ashley Lawrence and Kadeisha Buchanan were omitted from the starting lineup to rest their legs after they both played the full 90 minutes on Friday against Clemson. But the pair was subbed on in the 32nd minute to provide a muchneeded spark not long after St. Francis scored the opening goal. The Mountaineers were
able to equalize in the 30th minute after a Grace Cutler through ball set Sh’Nia Gordon toward goal down the left wing. The sophomore forward’s initial shot was saved, but scored the rebound with a bending shot to the far post.

Men’s Soccer shocks No. 7 Hoyas BY JOHN LOWE SPORTS WRITER
The WVU men’s soccer team upset the seventh-ranked Georgetown Hoyas, 1-0, in its first victory over a top 10 team in three years. Sophomore midfielder Tucker Stephenson, assisted by junior defenseman Louis Thomas and freshman defenseman Sebastian Garcia-Herreros, scored the only goal in the
81st minute to secure the Mountaineer victory. “It started out in our own half,” Stephenson said. “Louis picked it up and went wide to Sebastian, who drove the right side. I just knew I had to get it in the box, and he cut it back for me. I was right at the PK spot and put it away.” That goal was the last of what was an impressive shooting output by WVU. The Mountaineers outshot the Hoyas 13-3.
Seven of those shots were shots-on-goal. The first of these shotson-goal came in the 33rd minute, when senior forward Felix Angerer got his shot off but was saved by Georgetown goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski. Later in the first half Stephenson got a shot off, which was also stopped by Marcinkowski. Between the 58th and 64th minutes, the ball never really left the offensive side
of the pitch for the Mountaineers. There were four shots, three of which were on goal. Junior midfielders Jad Arslan and Joey Piatczyc each got shots-on-goal in that time span, and junior forward Heath Honold got two shots off, one of which was high. The closest the Hoyas got to getting on the board came in the 71st minute. Hoyas midfielder Arun Basuljevic took a shot off a
corner kick by Christopher Lema, but it was blocked. This is the highest ranked team WVU has upset since they took down top-ranked Connecticut in 2011. It is the Mountaineers’ first win over a top-10 team since beat No. 8 Indiana in 2013. “Our guys were tremendous today,” said WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “Our team performance from start to finish was excellent. We executed the game plan, using 18
guys that were all on the same page. All the credit goes to the players. We had a lot of the game today, had a lot of great possessions and created a lot of chances. This was a game there we had to grind, and we knew it was going to be a grind.” Up next for the Mountaineers is a home match against Princeton, who narrowly beat WVU last season. The kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Saturday.

Position battles concluding as WVU readies for Mizzou BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS WRITER
In just a few days time, the West Virginia University football team will finally step onto the field for its 125th season. The Mountaineers have spent nearly a month preparing for that first snap against Missouri on Saturday. Much of that energy has been spent just trying to find out who’s going to play—and the picture is starting to get clearer. Throughout fall camp, intrigue on the offensive side of the ball was largely dominated by a pair of fierce battles on the offensive line. Head coach Dana Holgorsen announced his starters on the line for the season opener on Tuesday, revealing that junior Marcell Lazard will get the nod to start at right tackle after
a fierce competition with redshirt Colton McKivitz. “Marcell will start, but Colton’s going to play,” Holgorsen said. “Colton will probably end up playing both right and left tackle. When do we put Colton into the game? That depends on how Marcell plays.” Meanwhile, with senior left guard Adam Pankey suspended for the season opener after a DUI arrest, fellow senior Tony Matteo—who had been in a battle with Kyle Bosch for the right guard spot before suffering an ankle injury— will flip to the other side to start at left guard against Missouri. Holgorsen said Pankey’s situation will be re-evaluated after the first game. Although Pankey’s experience will be sorely missed, it sets up an of-
fensive line that has been thoroughly battle-tested: Matteo and center Tyler Orlosky are both seniors, Bosch has a full season as a starter under his belt, and tackles Yodny Cajuste and Lazard both have starting experience. On the defensive side of the ball, Holgorsen officially named Jeremy Tyler the starter at free safety, replacing the injured Dravon Askew-Henry. The move also solidifies senior Jarrod Harper’s hold on the bandit safety spot, and along with junior college transfer Kyzir White’s emergence at the spur safety position, it’s allowed the staff to focus on building depth in the secondary. “I’m proud of how both of those guys (Harper and Tyler) have stepped in,” Holgorsen said. “Kyzir White has done a good job
at spur, and it’s allowed us to have those other bodies there. (Junior free safety) Toyous Avery is going to continue to get better and better, and (redshirt senior) Khairi Sharif has been around here for a while and knows what to do as well.” But while safety looks set to go with Tyler, Harper and White, cornerback is still the most wide-open position on the team. West Virginia has a mass of juniors and seniors, but few have experience actually playing for the Mountaineers. “The battle at corner is ongoing,” Holgorsen said. “We have four seniors, Antonio (Crawford), Nana (Kyeremeh), Maurice (Fleming) and Rasul (Douglas) that have all done good things and they’ll keep plugging away.

Defensive coordinator Tony Gibson talks to the defense during a spring practice. We have a lot of bodies there that just need to keep practicing and playing.” “What ends up happening in the first game with who starts and what the reps are, I would be shocked if it didn’t change between game one and game two.” As of the last depth chart released on August 10, Douglas and Crawford,
a Miami transfer, were the listed starters, with Kyeremeh and junior college transfer Elijah Battle as the backups. However, senior Iowa transfer Maurice Fleming has impressed coaches in recent weeks, and looks to receive major playing time – and perhaps break into the starting equation himself.
