Tent City to return Monday for Homecoming Week

BY MATTHEW PENNOCK CORRESPONDENT

Once a spur of the moment idea, Tent City is now an annual tradition at WVU. Tent City begins Monday at the Mountainlair Plaza for its third straight year, marking the beginning of Homecoming Week. Students may begin setting up camp at 8 a.m.

Third and fourth-year students may remember the original Tent City, which came together in response to ESPN’s College GameDay’s visit to campus in 2014, when WVU lost to the Horned Frogs of TCU. This year, however, there

is no College GameDay and the Mountaineers will battle Kansas State in the Homecoming game.

Keeping with tradition, Tent City is still student-led, and Tommy Skinner is spearheading the event.

“The same students that were running it from the start are still heading it up,” said Skinner, a second-year graduate student of the business school.

He began setting up his tent for the event Sunday evening.

Skinner was careful not to reveal too much information in terms of specific activities, guest appearances and more to keep it a surprise.

“Th e plan is for there not to be many differences; there’s really nothing that we can speak on that will be different,” he stated.

Nonetheless, the goal of this year’s Tent City is, as Skinner put it, “to keep it as free-spirited as possible.”

Skinner did not seem concerned about the level of participation and expects the word about it to “spread like wildfire.”

When comparing the first Tent City with last years, he said the only difference was not having Gameday.

In a WVU press release regarding Tent City Corey Farris, president of student

life and dean of students, said Tent City will remain an alcohol-free event.

Tent City t-shirts will be sold at Tent #1 for $10.

Proceeds will go to Empty Bowls Monongalia, a local charity.

Last year Tent City raised $1,520 for Empty Bowls, and Skinner plans to gather just as much, if not more, this year.

Skinner is expecting between 275 and 300 tents to set up throughout the week.

Tent City will end at noon on Friday, Sept. 30.

Barnes and Noble bookstore will be the main sponsor for the event.

8 Things to Bring to Tent City

BY ERIN DRUMMOND According to Tommy Skinner, the student who founded Tent City in 2014, tents are selling out all around Morgantown as students stock up on supplies.

Skinner provided The DA with eight must haves to help Tent City citizens rough the week.

1. Yourself, Bright and Early – “Get here as early as possible,” Skinner, the mayor of Tent City, informed those wanting to participate.

When Skinner went to Walmart to purchase his own tent, he claimed there were only five left in the store. Students should set up fast before the majority of spots are taken.

2. Cornhole Boards – You will have plenty of free time in Tent City; cornhole boards are the perfect activity to bring for the week. Not only will they draw in a crowd, students will be able to bond and play a friendly game together.

3. Footballs – The entire event is formed out of support for WVU’s football team, so it’s only fair to bring an actual football. For the moments when others may be using the cornhole boards, students can toss the ball around.

4. Couches – In order to make yourself at home in your tent, students are encouraged bring couches and other furniture to Tent City. During any downtime throughout the week, having furniture allows students the opportunity to relax and take a break from the excitement.

5. Lights – Students can make their tents stand out by grabbing lights to decorate the outside, as well as the inside. Lights will not only give the tent something to make it shine, it allows the fun to continue after night falls.

6. Blankets – The fall weather is beginning to show; bringing blankets to Tent City is a must. Not only will blankets make your tent comfortable, you’ll be glad to have them once the sun sets and it gets cold outside.

7. Backpacks and School Work—Skinner wants students to remember that Tent City is not a week to abandon your school work.

Grab your backpack and head to class during the week, and stay on top of your homework.

STAFF PHOTO

Students pose outside of Tent #18 at Tent City last year.

8. TVs and Gaming devices – In previous years, students have often arrived with televisions and some sort of gaming system. Invite your Tent City neighbors to hang out on the couch and play a game of Madden.

Sigma Kappa, Alley Cat team up to raise money for Alzheimer’s walk

BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD CORRESPONDENT

Debbie Spiker knew only a small amount of information about the disease Alzheimer’s, until her mother was diagnosed and passed away in May 2014.

“I knew there was something that focused on awareness for the disease, but I

didn’t really invest a whole lot of time in it,” Spiker said. “(It wasn’t) until I was personally affected, that I really started to get involved in the Walk.”

The Sigma Kappa sorority and The Elegant Alley Cat joined together Saturday to host a pre-registration event for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, which is only three

weeks away.

Two years prior to her mother’s passing, Spiker became one of the co-chairs and volunteers for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. She has volunteered every year since, and continues to be involved with community organized activities to build awareness.

“We wanted to make an

event, and get awareness out there for the walk,” said Angelina Mullen, a member of Sigma Kappa, who helped organize the event. “We’re not just doing this for the sorority, but for the disease.”

In front of Alley Cat, two tables with preregistration forms sat along High Street.

Inside, gently used cocktail dresses, gift card bas-

ket raffle tickets and other items were available for purchase. A percentage of the sales went to the Walk.

Mullen and Owner of Alley Cat, Amy Dale, organized the event together after Dale found out Alzheimer’s was Sigma Kappa’s philanthropy.

“The idea just kind of melted together,” Dale said.

“This is the first year we’re doing it, the outcome is so far, so great.”

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be held Oct. 16 at the natatorium shell building beside the WVU Coliseum.

Anyone interested in participating in the Walk can register at http:// Alzhiemers.org.

Montemartre combines comfort and class in Morgantown The owner of The Hotel Morgan’s rooftop restaurant reflects on 34 years of business

BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD STAFF WRITER

Meeting new people comes with owning a local restaurant, and it is what David Liberatore enjoys the most, because it is exactly what The Montmartre at The Clarion Hotel Morgan gives him.

The restaurant opened its doors in 1982, and Liberatore still owns it today.

In 1994 he acquired The Clarion Hotel Morgan for eleven years. After a partner passed away, Liberatore sold it to the Brant

family in 2005.

“I love the restaurant business, just because I love talking to people,” Liberatore said. “The social aspect of it, you meet some really neat people.”

First opening in 1925, Hotel Morgan became Morgantown’s first premier hotel and business destination. Throughout the years, it has seen many different owners, each placing a special twist on the hotel.

The Montmartre has a vast variety of menu options: calamari, brus-

chetta, Montmartre crab cakes, chicken roulade and even chicken wings, allowing customers of all ages to enjoy its food.

The restaurant is located on the rooftop terrace with views of downtown Morgantown.

While the restaurant is prime for an evening, they specialize in weddings and events.

“We have a beautiful ballroom, you can’t duplicate that anywhere,” Liberatore said. “Cherry wood, high ceilings, it’s like a fantasy come true

for some brides and their families.”

The Grand Ballroom has been one of the first choices for rehearsal dinners and receptions for eighty years. Accommodating up to 300, it is one of the largest ballrooms in West Virginia.

The Lobby Bar was designed by Liberatore, who wanted a comfortable and clean environment for business men and women to go. They would be able to have a drink with a mature feeling to it, and not be subject to a sports bar,

he said.

With a variety of wines, beer and cocktails The Lobby Bar adds value to The Montmartre.

While weddings are leading in the restaurant’s business, it caters to events for all around Morgantown and West Virginia University. The Montmartre holds many events for The School of Dentistry and Eberly College of Arts and Sciences.

Any business, political event, or wedding can rent out The Montmartre for an evening.

“It’s a great place for anyone to bring their dates,” Liberatore said.

“We overlook the city with a beautiful deck, that would score a lot of brownie points for your girl!”

Being named Homecoming Queen would be music to Bronwyn Clagett’s ears.

The senior music education student, minoring in world music, is a member of several music ensembles on campus, including West Virgnia University’s marching band, The Pride.

To her, being a Mountaineer means having pride in everything she does.

“I represent my major, my university, and my state every time I wear the Old Gold and Blue,” Clagett said. “Some people might doubt us or underestimate us, but I can prove them wrong.”

She believes the title would bring attention to what happens in the College of Creative Arts and on the Evansdale Campus.

“For instance, did you know that the World Music Center has one of the largest collections of world instruments, including two gamelans made specifically for WVU?” Clagett said. “Or that the College of Education of Human Services will be 90 years old next year?”

Of the many music ensem-

bles she is a member of, she said The Pride has remained consistent in her college career. She is currently serving as a Brass Rank Leader.

Clagett is also currently serving as president of the West Virginia Low Brass Club and the WVU chapter of the African Music and Dance Ensemble, and is a member of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity, Taiko Ensemble, Chamber Singers, Trombone Choir and one of the WVU Steel Bands.

“I wear my pride on my sleeve for the whole world to see,” she said.

Ever since he first visited the University, senior Business Management student and WVU wrestler Louis Colonna knew he was meant to wear the “flying WV”.

“I came to West Virginia because after I saw the campus I knew it was for me. The environment and interaction of the students made it feel like home,” he said.

Colonna has been an in-

volved Mountaineer, from being a four-year participant of the wrestling team earning two varsity letters, to volunteering time at Special Olympic events in Charleston, WV. He also volunteered at the Animal House on High Street, the Henry Miller Open wrestling tournament and the local Boys and Girls club, helping kids with homework.

Colonna holds the prospect of winning the title of Homecoming King in high regards.

“I want to become Homecoming King because, as a senior, I believe it is something that the student body as a whole bestows to you… I think it also stands for respect and guidance.”

Although being from Montgomery, NJ, it hasn’t made a difference for what being a Mountaineer means to Colonna.

“Being a Mountaineer means never being scared to try something new or interact with new people. It means doing your best and never looking back. Asking yourself if ‘I did all I could do,’ because you know you did.”

Colonna is most grateful for the opportunity he has gotten to represent and display the greatness of WVU as a student athlete through the wrestling team, and now he hopes he can display those same qualities as Homecoming King.

Tayler Morrow, one of WVU’s The Pride band Drum Majors, has felt like a Mountaineer her entire life.

The Morgantown native has followed her parents as well as her sibling’s footsteps as she pursues her degree at WVU. Studying psychology, biology and communications, Morrow has also been involved in several musical groups, as well The National Society of Leadership and Success and Psychology Club.

A large deciding factor for her to attend WVU was having the opportunity to be in the marching band.

“I grew up watching the band perform at football games and I fell in love with the Pregame show,” she said. “I knew that I wanted to have the honor of wearing that uniform like so many people before me.”

Morrow wants to immerse herself even further into the WVU community if she is to win the crown, and lead by example of what a Mountaineer should strive to be.

“I would like to make appearances at alumni events as

well as recruitment events for the University to show that we are a family here at WVU,” she said. “I would also like to go to other club and organizations to get to know them better and to give them ideas on how to present themselves to the WVU community.”

More than anything, Morrow exudes the pride of her Mountaineer qualities, and wants to share that with the WVU community.

“Being a Mountaineer means always striving for excellence while becoming the best version of yourself,” she said. “Being a Mountaineer means that we are a family.”

Timothy Martin envisioned himself as a Mountaineer since he was in sixth grade, and now he a senior at West Virginia University.

Martin is a wildlife and fisheries resource management as well as animal and nutritional science student. Aside from having two majors, he is also studying theatre.

But, being a member of the

WVU Cheerleading team is what really sets him apart.

He has been a cheerleader since his freshman year in 2013, and has loved every moment.

“Throughout my time here at WVU I have had a unique privilege unlike most, I was chosen to represent our school as a cheerleader,” he said. “This meant that I was among the few that would get to show other people how proud I was of the Mountaineers every moment of my life.”

But, what makes it all worth it for Martin is the sense of community he has gained joining the Mountaineer family.

“Everyone always asks why I hold WVU so near and dear to my heart, and I tell everyone it is because we are one,” he explained. “We have a bond and love for each other, this town and this University, that no single word or phrase can describe.”

Being crowned WVU Homecoming King, for Martin, is about exuding what it truly means to be a Mountaineer. He wants to show the world what it really means to be part of the community.

“I plan to share my overflowing love, passion and joy for WVU with everyone I meet, while representing myself for King,” he said. “I want to show everyone that this place is something you will never forget.”

Encouraging equality, diversity and education at WVU are just a few of the qualities of senior industrial engineer Taylor Davis.

Davis spends her time as a Mountaineer in a variety of ways. She is the president of the WVU section of the Society of Women Engineers, a resident assistant at Oakland Hall, a sister in the social and professional sorority Alpha Omega Epsilon, a participant on the Statler College Outreach Committee planning STEM events, as well as an active member of Cru, a Christian ministry on campus.

Coming from Johnstown, PA, many of Davis’s family were University of Pittsburgh alumni, making her decision to come to WVU a tough one at first, but after visiting the University she knew there was only one choice.

“Coming to WVU has by far been the best decision I have ever made.”

Davis views the potential of winning Homecoming Queen as a chance to spread the opportunity WVU has given her.

“I would love the opportunity to pour (opportunities) into others, like doing STEM outreach at local schools and speaking to young girls about the opportunities the University can give them in engineering fields.”

As far as what being a Mountaineer means, it is simple for Davis.

“By being respectful of our great state, the great people, and our great University; to lead and go first in the engineering field, where women are the minority; and to always have pride for my school.”

Loyalty, kindness and giving back to the community is how strategic communications student Kallie Nealis defines a West Virginia Mountaineer.

The Bridgeport native has made it her goal, as she concludes her fourth year at WVU, to be the epitome of school spirit.

She has been a member of the WVU Dance Team since 2013, and continues to serve as the vice president and co-captain for the second year in a row.

While she has been awarded multiple titles with the dance team, she emphasized the leadership she gained working with her teammates.

“I’ve learned that being a part of the team is much more than cheering and dancing at WVU sporting events. We are expected to represent WVU by upholding its values, which has taught me what it truly means to be a Mountaineer,” she said.

Nealis is involved with more on campus than sports.

Whether it is working with the Blue and Gold Crew, a student membership for WVU Alumni, or WVU Love Your Melon Campus, an organization dedicated to improving lives of children battling cancer, she commits herself to the project.

In addition, she is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, as well as Order of Omega, an honor society only for the top three percent of WVU Greek life members.

Nealis considers being crowned WVU’s Homecoming Queen one of the greatest honors she could receive.

It would not just be for her,

but also her family, who inspired her to attend the University since she was a child and encouraged her to always be the best Mountaineer she can be.

“If I were to be crowned Queen next Saturday, I would use the title to be a representative of the University by giving back to the State and the Morgantown community, as well as be a leader to other students during my final year and a half left as a WVU student,” she said.

Shurman Riggins is a business administration and marketing student.

From Lawrence, NJ, the senior founded the Mountaineer Special Olympics. Additionally, he served as president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and a governor in the WVU Student Government Association.

Riggins is also a member of the Chimes Junior Honorary Society, and has won the Philadelphia Insurance Companies intern competition twice. Furthermore, he finished in the top 10 percent in the General Electric Interview Competition.

Riggins was not available for an interview by the time of publication.

The Mountain Mama beauty is what drew senior criminology student and Homecoming King candidate Brandon Galindo to attend WVU. “I came here on a visit on a whim, but instantly fell in love

with the atmosphere,” he said.

“There are few things I love more than being surrounded by mountains.”

Galindo is no stranger to leadership, as he is currently serving as Sigma Phi Epsilon vice president, and was previously the vice president of finance for Culturas WVU. Additionally, he has also been an intern for WVU Student Government Association, complimenting the law and legal studies minor he is pursuing.

Galindo is also working on several projects, that support his belief in giving back to the community, one of which deals with flood relief for Southern WV. “I would use the title of Homecoming King as momentum to continue working on my current service project helping with the flood relief in Southern West Virginia,” he explained.

Though Galindo was not raised in the Mountain State, he feels rooted as a dedicated Mountaineer, driving him to offer support in times of need.

And, Galindo believes there is a duty that comes with being part of the West Virginia community.

“To me, being a Mountaineer means having a sense of pride and giving back to those who have paved the way for you,” he said. “I have never met a single person who has been ashamed to call themselves a Mountaineer, and I feel that will never happen.

We owe those people for paving the way, by doing the same for generations to come.”

As Galindo brings his time at WVU to a close, he hopes to be remembered not only as a prideful mountaineer, but as a Homecoming King.

“I take pride in being a Mountaineer, and want to live the tradition that is Homecoming.”

Senior journalism student and West Virginia native Hilary Kinney is making her mark at West Virginia University.

Raised in Moundsville, W. Va., she takes great pride in being homegrown in appalachia, and recognizes that to be WVU’s Homecoming queen is not just about her, but all Mountaineers.

“Homecoming is a celebration of pride in our University and state. Alumni come back to Morgantown for this occasion, and the game and weekend of activities are long-standing traditions,” she said.

One of Kinney’s several accomplishments at WVU is being the founder of the Food Recovery Network.

FRN collects wasted food from various University eateries and donates it to other service organizations on campus and beyond, such as the Rack at WVU, the Ronald McDonald House and the Rosenbaum House.

“We have been established for two years and have been able to recover a couple tons of food, which comes to around 4,000 meals,” she said.

“My work, whether focused on fighting hunger and making the University more sustainable or helping young people become more politically active, is rooted in improving our state and just how proud I am to be from here.”

Her dedication to the University and West Virginia as a whole is evident.

“Being a Mountaineer means never giving up on West Virginia,” she said. “Being a Mountaineer means you are from a place of many resilient and hard working people and I am proud to call myself one.”

Roshan Daniel, a senior mechanical and aerospace engineering student, is joining forces with homecoming queen candidate Hilary Kinney to save time and resources and run a joint campaign for WVU’s 2016 Homecoming Court.

Daniel has experience running a campaign, as he currently serves as treasurer of Student Government Association. However, this race does not follow the same extensive timeframe as most elections.

“I ran for SGA three campaigns ago and we had two, three months to prepare,” Daniel explained. “So all of that preparation, I’ve tried to jam-pack into the course of five days.”

He intends to use his platform as king to bring more attention to alumni relations, explaining that Mountaineers represent WVU not only as students, but also once they graduate.

“Homecoming king, homecoming queen, as much of a status symbol that it is, it’s also a culmination of our journeys here at WVU and the beginning of our journey to represent WVU for the rest of our lives,” Daniel said.

In addition to SGA, the Chantilly, Va. native currently serves as the vice president of the Star Wars Club, and has been involved in Habitat for Humanity and Relay for Life.

Students can vote for homecoming court next Tuesday and Wednesday in the Mountainlair and the Student Recreation Center.

North Carolina law an affront to justice, accountability

BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

Let’s say you’re driving through North Carolina and are stopped by police.

Be sure and smile. The officer who stopped you will be wearing a body cam.

And starting Saturday you won’t be able to access a second of that footage without going to court.

As far as atrocious state legislation goes, this can only be compared to Arizona’s immigration debacle of 2010, that allowed police officers to solicit proof of US citizenship. It was changed at the last minute to save the state from enacting legislation that al-

lowed racial profiling.

North Carolina’s ill-conceived body cam legislation goes into effect Oct. 1, a week after the fatal shooting of Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte.

The law allows police to hold body and dash-cam footage unless its release is fought for and won in a local court.

“Technology like dashboard and body cameras can be very helpful, but when used by itself, technology can mislead and misinform,” said Republican North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, reported by CNN. Yes, footage can mislead and misinform but apparently officers can’t.

This news is a blow for transparency.

The first time the public saw footage of the shooting of Scott, it was a shaky cell phone video filmed and released by his wife Rakeiya.

Scott, who was approached by police who noticed him rolling a marijuana “blunt” and holding a gun, was shot and killed while backing away from his vehicle.

Unfortunately, the footage wasn’t able to clearly show the situation, but it did get the attention of the public. That attention put significant pressure on police, who after five days released body and dash-cam footage of the incident.

That may be the last time the public gets to see this

type of footage from North Carolina.

While the videos police released cleared up very little about the killing (most importantly, if Scott was holding a gun), it allowed the public to see what actually happened.

We saw police shoot a man walking backwards from his vehicle with his hands at his sides. Had this footage clearly shown Scott waving his gun, the issue would’ve been resolved.

But it wasn’t. By allowing the public access to this unfiltered footage, it enables the public to see what the police saw transpire.

Imagine this case if Rakeiya Scott hadn’t filmed the final moments of her

husband’s life. How many police shootings are recorded by bystanders?

Are we going to start asking citizens to record all of their law enforcement interactions because police would rather not release the footage?

Police-produced video is a tool of transparency.

It enables the public to see how police react under life-threatening pressure and also protects police from unjust accusations.

In short, body cams keep us all honest.

The control of this footage is essential. Without objective control, the room for deceit and manipulation is a huge risk, and something we should

never stand for.

Just two years ago, the Oakland Police Department reportedly deleted 25 percent of its body cam footage in a technical error. While police say this was unintentional, it certainly brings into question the department’s technical capability, and maybe even its intent.

Under the new North Carolina legislation, an excuse won’t even be needed to keep police-produced footage from the public.

Footage is footage. Facts are facts. Any legislation protecting the attempt to cover either is an affront to justice, accountability and every person in this country.

George Zimmerman vs. Matthew Apperson: What this means for criminal (in)justice

BY TROI SAUNDERS CORRESPONDENT

Think back to 2012 when neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman shot and killed a young black male by the name of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla. The fatal incident sparked a controversy.

People wanted to know why Martin was killed. Was it because he didn’t live in the neighborhood? Because he actually committed a crime?

Was it because he was a young black male? The

public demanded answers.

Zimmerman claimed it was an act of self-defense.

Minutes before the shooting, Zimmerman called local police to report Martin looked suspicious, and was told not to follow him.

A friend of Martin recalled the incident much differently.

She was on the phone with Martin that night and said Zimmerman followed Martin, provoked him and when Martin retaliated, his life was taken.

An assistant prosecutor in the case, John Guy, felt Martin was right to defend

himself.

“That child had every right to be afraid of a strange man following him, first in his car and then on foot,” Guy said. “And did that child not have the right to defend himself from that strange man?”

Despite the evidence against him, Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter in 2013, which caused a worldwide frenzy.

Protests and riots erupted across the country, spawning the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

In May 2015 in Lake City, Fla., Matthew Apperson shot a bullet into a window of Zimmerman’s car in what he claimed was an act of self-defense.

Apperson and Zimmerman were in what was reported to be a yelling match from both of their cars. Apperson claimed that during the argument, Zimmerman flashed a gun at him, prompting him to pull out his own and proceed to shoot at Zimmerman.

Zimmerman claimed Apperson was the one who initiated the altercation and that he was at fault.

“George Zimmerman is no boy scout. I get that, and you get that, but no matter how you feel about George Zimmerman, he can still be a victim of a crime, and he was in this case,” said the Assistant State Attorney Stewart Stone.

On Sept. 16 of this year, Apperson was found guilty of attempted murder and now faces a minimum of 20 years in prison.

This sparked even more questions.

Why is one man who almost killed another found guilty of his charges and facing so much time, while

another who fatally shot an unarmed teenager is still free? Would Apperson still be found guilty had he killed Zimmerman? What does this say about civil rights? What does Zimmerman’s verdict say about privilege in America?

These questions sparked protests across the nation once again, and the lack of clear answers have allowed them to continue.

While previous conduct or verdicts should obviously not be factored into what is right or wrong, can you look at this and call it justice?

CULTURE

The wizarding world of the Personal Rapid Transit

BY EMILY ZEKONIS CORRESPONDENT

With an increase in breakdowns, students who use the PRT call on its staff for answers about the system, and they have come out from behind the curtain to respond.

The PRT is an unmistakable landmark of West Virginia University.

Used by students during their class commute, the transportation system performs anywhere from 16,000 to 18,000 rides per day. It’s a one of a kind transportation system for a college, intended to reduce Morgantown bus and car traffic while still getting students to class across the three large campuses on time.

While students know the goal of the system, recently they have been finding it hard to appreciate it with the increased system down time, firing tweets and complaints at the PRT staff.

“We are an envy of the world,” said Clement Solomon, the director of the department of transportation and parking at WVU. “We have such a unique asset here. Everyone is fascinated by it. I was interviewed by PBS years ago and they were amazed at this hidden jewel nestled in the mountains of West Virginia.”

As a former student, Solomon traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to attend WVU. He has been a PRT user for 25 years. Being the overseer of the $54 million modernization of the system, he revealed the three part process is currently in the second phase working on guideway electronics and attributing to the increase in shutdowns.

Having a long history with the PRT system, Solomon has seen a lot in his time. This includes some crazy platform stories, and acts of PRT misuse that are a good story, but have detrimental effects to the system.

“With over two million rides a year your chances of meeting someone new or forming a strong friend are overwhelming, you can see it developing on the platform,” Solomon said. “It’s a social place, full of action.”

When talking about the antics that occur on the system, Solomon is quick to warn that however these things are funny for a short period of time, some acts are highly unsafe and can add the downtime of the system. So, it is not just the modernization causing issues, it is the riders themselves.

“We also have kids who have jumped on the 575

Students wait at the Beechurst PRT station between classes. volt track,” he said.

As safety protocol, the entire PRT system must be shut down and inspected when someone jumps on the track, throws something on the track, or possibly shuts the system down by blocking doors to the carts, and other acts of user error. This causes long delays and system shut downs.

“Don’t jump on the track, don’t throw things on the track, and don’t push and crowd people,” Solomon said about PRT safety that will help to decrease the downtime

caused by users. “Don’t block the doors, and be especially cautious on high traffic game days.

It’s a lot of safety common sense.”

He encouraged riders to keep their heads about them, not only with safety, but in understanding when the downtime is not user error, but due to modernization.

“Our workers started when the system started, they’ve been here for 30 years (or more),” he explained. “We love the university, and we love what we do. That’s why we do it. That’s why we

choose a job where we get blamed on Twitter.

We get to interact with the students, and all of the University.”

“There is so much more than what people think behind the scenes,” Solomon continued. “It’s easy to only see the inconveniences, but imagine a day without the PRT at all.”

Solomon encouraged PRT users to imagine the chaos and traffic without the PRT, and asked for them to be patient as the system is renewed for their benefit.

For people’s own con-

venience and relief from the stress of a potential breakdown, Solomon strongly enforced following the twitter for immediate updates and having a back up plan for transportation before the event of a shutdown.

The PRT is a unique transportation method for WVU. It is not only a prideful system for those who work on it, but for the entire university.

Riding the PRT can be an interesting experience as well as frustrating at times, but no matter what let it be a safe experience.

LISTICLE 9 things you didn’t know about “Take Me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver

1

. Denver and Bill and Taffy Danoff who co-wrote the song, had never been to West Virginia. Bill Danoff, who grew up in Massachusetts, used to listen to AM radio station WWVA out of Wheeling when he was growing up and he later told NPR that inspired him to write the lyrics.

2

. The Danoffs and his wife Taffy started writing the song when they were driving from D.C. to Maryland. The “country roads” mentioned in the song was “Clopper Road” which is now a four-lane highway in Gaithersburg, Md.

3

. The Danoffs singing backup can be heard in the background, which was recorded in 1971. The Danoffs went on to be part of The Starland Vocal Band which had the smash hit, “Afternoon Delight” in 1977.

4 5

. Denver and the Danoffs sang the song first on Dec. 30, 1970 at the Cellar Door, in Washington, D.C. It received a five-minute ovation.

. The West Virginia University Marching Band started playing “Country Roads” as part of its football pregame show in 1972 and has performed it every year since. The band usually forms the outline of the state while playing the song.

6 7

. Prior to “Country Roads,” Denver’s biggest hit was “Leaving on a Jet Plane” which Peter, Paul and Mary took to No. 1 in 1970. It was the group’s only No. 1 hit.

. When John Denver performed the song at Morgantown High School in 1977, he changed the “Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River” lyric to “Appalachian Mountains, Monongahela River.”

8

. “Country Roads” is one of four official West Virginia state songs. The other two: “West Virginia Hills,” “This is my West Virginia” and “West Virginia, My Home Sweet Home.”

9

. According to WVU Coordinator of Ceramics, Shoji Satake, in China everyone knows Country Roads. “Back in the 80s when China was still a closed communist country, they were only allowed a handful of foreign artists,” Satake said. “John Denver was one of them. If you go to karaoke, they always play it.”

Offense shines, other game notes from WVU’s victory

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR

FOOTBALL Howard shows great command of offense Against a defense that surrendered just 17 points per game, WVU senior quarterback Skyler Howard picked his way through BYU’s successful unit.

Howard completed nearly 78 percent of his passes, throwing for one touchdown and 332 yards.

And although he forced an interception early on and had a late fumble on a miscued snap, coaches were impressed with his performance.

He commanded a 99yard scoring drive, putting WVU up 35-19 in the fourth quarter. His chemistry with Shelton Gibson was also evidenced throughout the afternoon, connecting on a number of deep balls.

“I thought it was good.

I’m going to critique him, but (he) completed a lot of passes,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“Did a great job early of putting the ball in play. He forced that ball early. That was 100 percent on him, the interception. Managed the game and did a good job in the run game.

I thought he played really good.”

Special Teams needs work Although Skyler Howard and the WVU offense

Skyler Howard looks to pass during WVU’s 35-32 victory over BYU this past Saturday at FedEx Field in Landover, MD. succeeded against a stingy Cougars defense, coach Holgorsen would have liked to see shorter drives.

Three of the Mountaineers scoring drives consisted of 86, 88 and 99 yards following short returns.

While the offense managed to move the ball despite the rough field position, there could be a lot of changes on the Mountaineers special teams unit.

“Made a lot of mistakes,” Holgorsen said. “Our field position continues to be a huge issue. Special teams

are not carrying their weight right now. That will get addressed. We’ll focus hard on it. If I need to put starters out there, I will.”

Gibson impressed with defense after struggling against Youngstown West Virginia’s defense needed to make adjustments fast, and it appears they did just that in the words of defensive coordinator Tony Gibson.

The statistics might not speak for themselves, allowing 32 points and 521 total yards (280 rushing).

Top: Tony Gibson greets the defense with applause following an interception.

Bottom: Shelton Gibson hauls in a long pass.

But they forced turnovers, tallying three interceptions and forcing the first fumble of BYU running back Jamaal Williams’ career.

It was just what Gibson’s group needed after showing frustration about nearly every aspect of his defense two weeks ago.

“The biggest thing we did today was creating turnovers,” Gibson said.

“We got four today, which was good to get back on the board with that. The rest of our stats, I’m not worried about. The one that counts is the W. I thought

we played very physical…I heard after the game that was the first time No. 21 has fumbled in his career at BYU. The ball didn’t slip away from him. The ball got knocked out.”

Redshirt freshman shines before injury Redshirt freshman Adam Shuler impressed before suffering an injury in the second half.

Shuler registered eight tackles and forced the first fumble of Williams’ career at running back. His skills are also needed in a pass rush that’s created just two

sacks all season, struggling to find its way into the backfield on a consistent basis.

The severity of Shuler’s injury is unknown as Holgorsen will find out more information later.

“I just thought that he’s playing hard,” Gibson said.

“He continues to keep making plays. He brings a pass rush that we need.

Happy with the way he’s progressing.”

Shelton Gibson delivers again, says WVU receivers are the best Shelton Gibson and the Mountaineers receivers continued their recent string of success against a stingy defense.

Gibson needed just four catches to reach 144 yards receiving, marking the second straight game he tallied 100-plus yards. He burst his way past BYU defenders numerous times, giving Skyler Howard space to complete long throws.

And following the game, Gibson stated his deep receiving corps, which includes Daikiel Shorts and Ka’Raun White—who have combined for 405 yards this year—is talented enough to be the No. 1 group in the entire country.

“We talk about it every single day at practice,” Gibson said. “We’re the best receiving corps in the nation.”

Baylor tops Big 12 power rankings 1. Baylor (4-0, 1-0)

FOOTBALL 1. Baylor (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) Seth Russell’s 387 yards and four touchdowns through the air were enough as Baylor improved to 4-0, defeating Oklahoma State in 35-24 fashion. The defense also forced four turnovers in the win. Baylor remains one of the two undefeated teams in the conference, joining West Virginia.

Week 5 Matchup: @ Iowa State 2. Oklahoma (1-2) Following a 1-2 nonconference slate, the Sooners open up Big 12 play at TCU on Saturday.

They narrowly escaped in last year’s meeting, recording a 30-29 victory. It’ hard to move them too far down the rankings as both losses have come to teams ranked inside the top 10.

Week 5 Matchup: @ TCU 3. West Virginia (3-0) WVU survived a late scare as Maurice Fleming’s late interception sealed a 35-32 victory over BYU. Skyler Howard and the offense delivered, totaling 481 total yards of offense against a team that allowed just 17 points per game entering the game.

Now it’s time for the Big 12 opener against Kansas State, who the Mountaineers have not beat since joining the conference in 2012.

Kenny Hill tossed for four touchdowns and John Diarse had 139 receiving yards. A tough matchup looms as they look to seek revenge on Oklahoma.

Week 5 Matchup: Oklahoma 5. Texas (2-1) After a bye week, the Longhorns will need to make a statement at Oklahoma State in week five.

If not, their playoff hopes could vanish with a second straight defeat to an unranked opponent.

Week 5 Matchup: @ Oklahoma State 6. Oklahoma State (22, 0-1 Big 12) Turnovers plagued the

Cowboys’ offense in the 35-24 loss to Baylor, losing the ball four separate times. The defense also needs work, allowing 30plus points over the past three games.

Week 5 Matchup: Texas 7. Kansas State (2-1) The Wildcats dominated the first half in the 35-0 victory over Missouri State as the game was called at halftime due to lightning. Quarterback Jesse Ertz threw for two scores and rushed for another 85 yards. They will now look to beat West Virginia for the fifth straight time.

Week 5 Matchup: @ West Virginia 8. Texas Tech (2-1) Defensive coordinator David Gibbs’ defense will look to hold its ground in Thursday night’s affair against Kansas after allowing a combined 113

points over the last two games. They will have a good chance to improve on that number as the Jayhawks scored just seven points in their last game against Memphis.

Week 5 Matchup: Kansas 9. Iowa State (1-3) Head coach Matt Campbell recorded his first win at Iowa State with a 44-10 win against San Jose State.

Quarterbacks Jacob Park and Joel Lanning combined for five touchdown strikes and 301 yards.

Week 5 Matchup: Baylor 10. Kansas (1-2) Kansas has a tough test in its Big 12 opener Thursday, facing a Texas Tech offense that’s averaging 61 points per game. It hasn’t won a conference game since 2014 when it defeated Iowa State.

Kaleiohi makes history, off to fast start for WVU

BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER

WOMEN’S SOCCER With a 4-1 win over Richmond on Friday evening, the No. 5 West Virginia women’s soccer team concluded its nonconference schedule with just a single loss.

The win featured the quickest goal in the program’s 21-year history, with Heather Kaleiohi scoring just 47 seconds into the contest.

The goal was Kaleiohi’s fourth this season. The

team went on to score three more times, capping off its highest scoring game of the season, and concluding the nonconference slate 8-1-1 following a double overtime loss to No. 6 Georgetown.

Kaleiohi, who started the game with an emphatic statement, is second on the team in scoring thus far. Only Michaela Abam leads her in scoring, with 11 points in the season.

A junior forward, Kaleiohi has seen a huge boost in playtime with the graduation of several key

components in the Mountaineer attack this season.

The San Diego native made it clear in the spring that she intended to increase contribution when she scored both of the team’s goals in a 2-0 exhibition win over Georgetown in the spring.

Kaleiohi is one of five children, with her sister Kayla having also played college soccer at Holy Names University.

In high school, Kaleiohi was an immense scoring threat, setting nearly every Horizon Christian Academy scoring record. In

addition, she was named to several district and regional all-star teams.

Once heading across the country for West Virginia, Kaleiohi had to adjust to a reduced workload, playing off the bench in 25 matches through her first two years, but never starting a match.

Kaleiohi worked relentlessly over the offseason and eventually earned the starting spot.

Through 10 games this season, she has started seven and recorded four goals. She has already scored twice as many

WVU faced BYU in a neutral site contest at FedEx Field in Landover, MD on Saturday afternoon. Coaches believe the neutral site games are important for the fan base and program, with a lot of West Virginia alumni in the Washington, DC metro area. The Mountaineers also open up next season there against old rival Virginia Tech, battling for the Black Diamond Trophy.

goals this season as she did throughout her first two seasons in blue and gold.

It can only be expected that as the team gets in to conference play and finds its offensive rhythm, Kaleiohi will play a large part in controlling games.

Of players who have taken at least five shots this season, she leads the team shots on goal percentage (56.5) and shooting percentage (17.4), standing alone with Hannah Abraham as the only Mountaineers to have two game-winning goals this

early in the season.

Kaleiohi is one of several players who stepped up to fill the scoring gap left by Kailey Utley and the leadership gap left by Hannah Steadman.

With the leadership of Kaleiohi and others, coach Nikki Izzo-Brown is hopefulw the team can rebound and finish the season as strong as it started.

The team opens Big 12 play hosting Baylor on Friday evening in Dick Dlesk Stadium. WVU is 27-1-3 since joining the Big 12 and has won the regular season title every season.
