EpiPen price hike sparks protest BY RHETT ZILLINGER ASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR
Pharmaceutical giant Mylan and its CEO Heather Bresch are in the midst of a price gouging controversy regarding a monopoly on EpiPens. Protestors lined the road yesterday in front of the Mylan office building in Morgantown to bring awareness to the 500 percent wholesale markup for epinephrine injectors over the last several years. “We have to show that public opinion is against (Mylan),” said Jeffery Hanning of Chicago, a former Morgantown resident. “They are here telling these people that a life saving thing, the EpiPen, which my sister
needs if she ever gets stung by a bee, has gone from $50 a pen to about $600 a pen—and at the same time (Bresch’s) pay has gone from $1 million to about $18 million dollars—it’s very clear that she doesn’t care about the community that she is supposed to be supporting.” The EpiPen’s rise in price was engineered by manipulating federal legislation and brand marketing regarding the injectors. Bresch ultimately worked the system to incentivize high prices, which she accomplished by getting the Federal Drug Administration to crack down on foreign manufacturers, all while pushing demand for the product by targeting specific legislation. This has not only made
the price of EpiPens soar, but Mylan’s share prices have quadrupled in the same period and Bresch’s salary has risen. “What we hope to accomplish (by protesting) is gathering public support and educating the public on what is going on—not just with EpiPens, but with Heather Bresch—and to ramp up the pressure,” said Andrew Szanto, a Morgantown resident who organized the protest. “We are going to continue this, this is just the beginning.” Mylan’s injectors are protected by multiple U.S. patent laws making it very difficult for rival competitors to create them, which gives the company a monopoly over the item.

SGA’s lends advice to freshmen on game day BY CONNOR SCHLEGEL CORRESPONDENT
This Saturday, football returns to Morgantown as West Virginia University kicks-off its first game of the 2016-17 season against the Missouri Tigers. It will be the first time at Milan-Puskar Stadium for many freshmen on campus and some members of the WVU Student Government Association offered advice to first-year students on game day.
“I would say, (use) discretion. Just be safe. Look out for your fellow Mountaineers because it’s probably going to be a humid day, a hot day,” said Senator Tyler Brewster. “I can’t stress this enough. There will be a lot of fans here from the University of Missouri and we want to make them feel welcome in Morgantown.” Brewster said the University occasionally receives comments about fans saying negative things to opposing fan bases, however

they more frequently get positive feedback after each game. Student body Vice President Mac McIntyre advised students to be safe and “don’t do anything that you wouldn’t want your parents to see you doing.” “You’ve got to remember, you could be having fun and having a blast, and then you get an underage consumption or public intoxication and that could ruin a whole semester for you,” McIntyre said. “Be careful, watch who
you’re around, remember to be safe. Wear sunscreen, it’s going to get hot out there. Don’t get dehydrated, drink water.” McIntyre also wanted to remind students they not only represent themselves, but WVU as well. “You’re a student at this University and you’re representing 35,000 people when you go out there,” he said. Kick-off for Saturday’s game is set for noon, and will be televised on Fox Sports 1.

OPINION
The unnerving and failing promise of higher education BY ALEX WEIDMAN CORRESPONDENT
Many of us have been hearing it since our school carrer started. The goal of all those years? College. It is the culmination of years of hard work, and the last hump that would then thrust us into the jobs we (in our generation) need to consider ourselves successful. It is that easy (and that hard), to make it through about 20 years of schooling and you’re as good as gold. Of course we’ve also heard of the rule of exceptions, but since when have any of us been the exception? The harsh reality is that for some of us, college won’t work. It won’t thrust us into the jobs we’ve been dreaming of. We’ll have to settle for something we never imag-
ined having to do, even with a college degree. We’ve heard this all before, especially in the warnings following the 2008 financial crisis. Suddenly, things changed. College was no longer the lifeboat it was known to be. Researchers were describing swathes of college graduates moving back in with parents, even taking jobs that didn’t require college in the first place. The Economic Policy Institute’s May 2015 report described unemployment among recent college graduates as “extremely high.” “Young workers always experience disproportionate increases in unemployment during periods of labor market weakness,” the report read. The underemployment
rate (for example, taking jobs that don’t require a college degree) was at a staggering 15 percent. Added onto that, the cost of college is skyrocketing, a phenomenon that certainly doesn’t need explained to WVU students. Not only are some of us humbled—and maybe even humiliated—by having to move back with our parents after college, but students who used loans to pay for school suddenly find themselves with an unprecedented amount of debt and stifled wages. The reality of college and higher education has changed, is even still changing, and not for the better. The promise that a degree is the one thing certain to move you up and ahead in life isn’t as strong.
What does this mean? To try and answer this question we should look at the world around us. In 2011, the Middle East exploded in revolution; one nation after another saw the toppling of regimes that had been standing for decades. It was an unprecedented world event that came to be known as the Arab Spring. Historians, political scientists, think tanks and even the Obama Administration were all surprised at how quickly the uprisings spread. By 2014, the governments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen had been ousted and Syria erupted into a still-ongoing civil war. Each uprising’s focus was a more democratic government, largely led by younger generations. But why? And why then?
In his recent book, “A Rage For Order,” Robert F. Worth links the disintegration of the Arab states to rulers who were “unable to cope with deepening economic crises,” citing unemployment as one of those crises. But specifically it was the unemployment of those under 30 who were the “vast majority” in the Arab world. “Most of them had slim chances of getting a decent job, despite the fact that they were more literate and better educated than their parents,” Wroth wrote. “Among people age 15 to 24, (the literacy rate) was about 80 percent. These numbers translated into higher expectations.” For Americans, higher education always meant a better and higher paying job. In the Middle East, these better and higher paying jobs
didn’t exist, and the frustration and humiliation among the young grew to explosive proportions. While it’d be wrong to cite this as the only reason for the revolutions (ignoring some more obvious quarrels with the authoritarian regimes), it’d be irresponsible not to completely understand what role higher education played. Similarly in America, anger and frustration is building among younger generations who no longer have a college degree as an economic lifeboat. While we are not at the explosive levels of unrest experienced in the Middle East, look at this election cycle. Anger is building, and it’s already changing the landscape of American politics.
What students have to say... “I had a short window of unemployment compared to other people, about like three or four months, but still in that span it’s very scary. Nothing was really sticking. It felt like you had to know somebody in order to get into the window of getting your career started.” -Paris Vennis Marketing Student
“Nowadays the minimum to get any good job is a bachelor’s degree. Especially in certain fields like business and engineering, you have to go further and in some cases people really can’t afford it.” -Stephen Humphrey Engineering Student
“Honestly, it depends on which field you’re going into because at any time there’s a moment where the job market says, ‘oh we need these types of jobs right now,’ so all these people go through college for four years to get it, but as soon as they’re done; ‘oh yeah the job market moved to something else.’” -David Gibson Geography Student

Mario’s Fishbowl: a tradition for West Virginia fans BY LEAH SCHOOLCRAFT CORRESPONDENT
After a long day of tailgating and cheering on West Virginia University’s football team, it’s a tradition for many Mountaineer fans to gather around fishbowls of beer. Mario’s Fishbowl, established in 1949, is known to many locals, students and alumni as the place to be. The restaurant is filled with a friendly atmosphere, awesome food choices and cold drinks to conclude a day of Mountaineer spirit. “The clientele is really friendly. It’s a neighborhood bar; it’s not high maintenance,” said Dina Brewer, the manager at
Mario’s Fishbowl. “Everybody’s here to drink a fishbowl and have a good time.” The restaurant offers a large variety of American food and drinks, with something for each member of the family. Burgers, wings, fries and many more delicious items are on the menu for affordable and reasonable prices. Fair warning: it can be somewhat difficult to find seating after a Mountaineer game. But fans don’t seem to mind. “People don’t mind if we don’t have tables, as long as they can get in here,” said Jessica Martinez, who has worked at Mario’s for two years. “It is packed wall to wall, and is usually so bad that you
can’t even move.” Martinez said one of the reasons Mario’s Fishbowl is so loved is because of the easygoing attitude of the people that work there. “We’re not going to judge you for drinking too much or drinking too little,” Martinez said. “It’s whatever you feel like doing at the time.” Mario’s Fishbowl is loved not only by Mountaineer fans but fans from the visiting teams as well. Lexi Candla, a WVU student and a Mario’s Fishbowl regular, said having opposing fans there can be “chaotic” but altogether the environment remains friendly. “There were some fans from Texas last year that were tailgating next to us
and were so surprised at how welcoming we all were,” Candla said. “No one was talking trash, everyone was just there to celebrate and have fun.” Mario’s Fishbowl was originally a confectionary until it transitioned into the restaurant Morgantown knows and loves. Since then, WVU students, Alumni, fans and locals all enjoy what Fishbowl offers. To check out the food selection and hours, please visit Fishbowl’s website at http://mariosfishbowl.com. There are two locations, the original is on Richwood Avenue and the newer site is on Evansdale, near Black Bear Burritos.

Tailgating tips for new students BY EMILY ZEKONIS CORRESPONDENT
Hamburgers are being prepped, coolers packed and gold shirts laid out. This could only mean one thing: Mountaineers are getting ready for the Gold Rush. It’s that time of the year again. Football season has arrived, and with it comes the all important celebration of tailgating. Nothing sets the tone for a great Mountaineer game like good times with friends,
food and endless sing-a-longs to “Country Roads.” For the majority of West Virginia University students, this is not their first time taking over the Morgantown parking lots. Others, however, may get swept up in the energetic rush. “I’m just really excited to see everyone in the school come together and show their school spirit, and— hopefully—beat Missouri,” said Maddie Lee, a freshman student.
Like most freshman and those attending their first game and tailgate, Lee is ready to take on the spirited mob scene on Saturday, but also doesn’t know what her exact plans are or what she should expect. “My advice to freshman about tailgating? Do it. Tailgate now, tailgate then, tailgate forever,” said Garrett Weigel, a junior and long time WVU tailgater. “I’ve been attending the games and tailgating since
I was 12 years old with my dad,” Weigel said. “Tailgating is where you go to eat, drink and be merry.” Being a veteran of many WVU games, Weigel emphasized how great it is to let loose at the tailgates. Tailgating is a way to make connections, friends, and, if you are as lucky as Weigel was, maybe get offered an internship or job. “It really brings everyone together. You can feel the spirit and excitement,” said
Nicole Dimeglio, a senior. One major key for freshmen and newcomers is to know all the words to “Country Roads.” Nothing screams “freshman” more than mumbling and pretending you know what is going on when everyone is singing. And of course, don’t forget your WVU spirit and apparel. Grab a group of friends to show off your Mountaineer pride together as you enjoy the tailgate. Also, bring the will to get
up early and stay late. Don’t miss any of the action, or any of the great spots to set up your celebration. Head over early to meet new people, walk around and take it all in, especially if it is your first tailgate. Football is something that brings the entire school together, so make sure to take part in it, even if you are not quite sure of how to “correctly” tailgate. Ask around, reach out and make new friends.

Different styles set to clash in football opener BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER
The West Virginia University football team isn’t waiting to challenge themselves this year, as the Mountaineers are set to take on the Missouri Tigers, who have won the SEC East in two of the past four years, on Saturday. “It’s exciting to be able to open up with a Power 5 conference school,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “It’s a great program. They’ve had really, really good football teams over the years.” What might be different for Holgorsen is who is standing on the other sideline calling the plays, and that is Mizzou head coach Barry Odom.
While Holgorsen is known for his offensive success, Odom is practically his polar opposite; turning Mizzou, especially its defensive line, into one of the most intriguing units in college football. Odom was named head coach in November, after serving as the team’s defensive coordinator. “He did a great job last year... and (is) very deserving to be the head coach,” Holgorsen said. “They have seven or eight guys coming back from a year ago where they were again, one of the best defenses in the country.” One returnee is redshirt junior Charles Harris, who led the SEC in tackles for loss with 18.5. After Adam
Pankey’s suspension, Harris poses a much larger issue for the Mountaineers. Pankey’s replacement Tony Matteo is ready for what Harris and the Tiger line will bring. “I think they have a lot of talent. I think they’re athletic,” Matteo said. “We need to play aggressively. It couldn’t be a better challenge.” Heading into game week, WVU’s primary focus was to become accommodated to the Tiger defense. WVU quarterback Skyler Howard knows what is waiting for him on Saturday, but he is trying to focus on how his team can start on the right foot. “It was nice to get our feet wet into Missouri’s defense,” Howard said. “I don’t care
what the other side is doing, if we focus on ourselves, we are going to execute.” Missouri has the capability to stunt West Virginia’s offensive capability, West Virginia would need to rely on its playmakers to expose a linebacker unit that lost its leading tackler. Luckily, for the Mountaineers, its wide receiver group has the depth in which any guy can be the deciding factor. While its defense is intimidating, its offense doesn’t pose the same threat. In 2015, Missouri finished dead last in the SEC in total yardage. To put it in perspective, the Tigers finished with 1375 rushing yards; Wendell Smallwood totaled 1519.

Skyler Howard looks to pass during last season’s 45-6 win over Maryland. Offense was the main reason the Tigers went 1-7 in SEC play, reaching double digits just three times in eight games. The matchup couldn’t be more of an opportunity for the rebuilt
Mountaineer defense. “I feel like we have a nice game plan,” said WVU defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. “But I am excited to see the kids get out there and perform.”
Saturday’s game vs. Missouri will be won up front BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS WRITER
Over the last five seasons, Dana Holgorsen has presided over the West Virginia University football team’s transformation from a prolific air raid passing offense to a tough, between-the-tackles run game. It has been promised that this season will see the Mountaineers return to the pass. But on Saturday, in West Virginia’s season opener against Missouri, the Mountaineers will need to lean on everything they’ve learned over the past few years. Make no mistake: Satur-
day’s game will be won and lost in the trenches, on both sides of the ball. Missouri’s rebuilt coaching staff, featuring new offensive coordinator Josh Heupel, certainly has the possibility to spring a surprise on the Mountaineers. However, the Tigers are coming off a season where they averaged just 13.6 points per game, one of the lowest figures in college football – and they feature one of the weakest groups of skill position players West Virginia will face this season. But Missouri features one major strength: its defensive front, which retains many
of the top performers that helped the Tigers rank as the fifth-best defense in the Football Bowl Subdivision last season. Defensive end Charles Harris led the SEC in tackles for loss (18.5) last season, and is a likely NFL Draft first round pick. Harris is an athletic freak of nature who stands 6-foot-3, weighs 255 pounds, and runs conditioning with Missouri’s defensive backs—he may be one of the best players West Virginia faces this season. Beyond him, however, the Tigers feature a tremendous amount of size in the interior, led by 355-pound Josh Au-
gusta, 325-pound AJ Logan and 320-pound Rickey Hatley, to say nothing of 290-pound Freshman All-American Terry Beckner Jr. Behind them are a pair of experienced, productive senior linebackers in Michael Scherer and Donavin Newsom. Missouri’s front seven will pose a tremendous test for West Virginia’s offensive line, which recently had to be reshuffled after left guard Adam Pankey was suspended for the season opener due to a DUI arrest. Harris’ speed and skill off the edge, along with the tremendous bulk up front, will
put a huge strain on West Virginia’s offseason commitment to pass-blocking. Despite its 5-7 record, Missouri had one of the best defenses in college football last season, and it’s returning many of those players. However, the same battle will be critical on the other side of the ball, too. West Virginia’s defense is mostly rebuilt, except for a veteran defensive line led by senior defensive end Noble Nwachukwu, who is aiming to become the first Mountaineer in six years to reach double-digit sacks. Nwachukwu will have as
good an opportunity as ever to get that push started on Saturday. Missouri’s offensive line is the most inexperienced in college football. The result could be an extremely long day for Missouri quarterback Drew Lock, who struggled mightily last season as the Tigers’ first freshman signal-caller in 20 years. But if Harris and the gang succeeds in putting the same kind of pressure on WVU’s Skyler Howard, we could be in for a low-scoring nail-biter in Morgantown – and in that kind of game, it’ll be a toss-up no matter who’s playing.
