SGA chief of staff steps down by caity coyne CITY EDITOR @CAITYCOYNE

Student Government Association’s chief of staff, Randy Jones, resigned from his position at Wednesday night’s SGA meeting to pursue a job opportunity outside of the organization, he said.

Jones would not comment on what his new job is, but said there was no other reason for him leaving SGA. “Student government

is an academic experience, it’s supposed to give us the tools to go out and do things in the private sector and the public sector,” Jones said, “and bigger things than what we’re doing now, and I’m very excited to take that opportunity...”

Following Jones’ resignation, Student Body President George Capel appointed Erin Heeter to replace Jones as an executive.

Heeter, a sophomore international relations stu-

dent, formerly served as SGA’s director of student organizations, as well as being an SGA intern her freshman year.

“We wanted somebody with a good amount of experience, but also somebody who is on good terms with everybody in student government...” Capel said.

“We think (Heeter) is more than qualified for this position. She’s organized, driven, passionate. She’s going to help take our organization to the next level.”

The SGA chief of staff is

responsible for overseeing all the executives and the executive branch of SGA, while keeping them accountable for making and accomplishing goals, respective to their individual positions. “(Chief of staff ) serve(s) at the pleasure of the president, first and foremost,” Jones said.

The board also unanimously approved several amendments to the organization’s bylaws, including setting new standards for all the executives and

standing committees.

Now, all SGA executives are required to provide a progress report at the beginning of each month to promote accountability and communication within the organization, Capel said. “... at the end of the year, we can look back and say, ‘They have a report every single month, this is how they’re progressing,’” Capel said. “Or even halfway through the year we can say, ‘You’re not progressing fast enough. You

need to keep going a little hard(er).’”

Standing committees, like the board of finance and the public relations team, will now be required to meet biweekly, according to the bylaws, and they will have to publicly post their meeting schedules monthly.

Capel believes these changes will not only promote student participation in SGA, but will also make SGA more accessible

LVMPC hosts ‘read-in’ at Woodburn Circle to raise awareness about illiteracy

By Paige Czyzewski Associate City Editor @PaigeCzyzewski

On a college campus, illiteracy may not be a problem on the forefront of everyone’s mind, but in West Virginia, one in five citizens are illiterate, according to Ben Wasser, a West Virginia University strategic communications student.

Wednesday afternoon in Woodburn Circle, the Literacy Volunteers of Monongalia and Preston Counties held a “read-in” to raise awareness about West Virginia illiteracy and to highlight the importance of literacy. Wasser coordinated the event.

“Right now, the literacy level in West Virginia is (that) 20 percent of adults can’t read beyond a fourth grade reading level,” Wasser said. “... It’s pretty upsetting.”

Wasser and Alyssa Cantisani, another strategic communications student leading the project, paired with LVMPC this semester to assist with the Need to Read Literacy Awareness event.

The LVMPC, a non-profit organization, is the secondlargest literacy advocate in West Virginia, Wasser said. It offers small group classes, writing workshops and a mobile library for towns in Monongalia and Preston Counties without access to such services.

Volunteers cover computing, financial and literacy skills, as well as provide one-on-one tutoring, English as

WVU Geography Department hosts discussion panel on refugee crisis

By Jordan Miller Correspondent @DailyAthenaeum

Wednesday night in the Mountainlair Gold Ballroom, Oxfam America at West Virginia University partnered with UNICEF Campus Initiative and WVU’s Department of Geology and Geography to host an open discussion panel called “Making Sense of the Refugee Crisis.”

As part of WVU’s Syrian Week of Awareness campaign, panelists shared

their individual experiences working with refugees worldwide.

“We wanted to pull these different perspectives to bring attention to different aspects of refugee journeys...” said Bradley Wilson, assistant geography professor and discussion moderator, “... and to really draw attention to the process by which refugees are displaced and how they pursue a life in displacement.”

The panel consisted of University faculty and students who have worked di-

WVU students team up to design hybrid-electric car headline

By Madeleine Hall Correspondent @DailyAthenaeum

A group of West Virginia University engineering students are attempting to reduce the nation’s environmental footprint one car at a time.

Consisting of 60 students, WVU’s EcoCAR3 team is working together until 2018 to design a hybrid-electric vehicle for a series of national competitions. “(EcoCAR3 is different from) most of what we do in college, where every assignment has one right answer,” said Scott Wayne,

faculty advisor for WVU’s EcoCAR3 team. “Students get real world experience and exposure to an open ended problem.”

EcoCAR3 is an Advanced Vehicle Technology Competition sponsored by the Energy Department and General Motors. Though general AVTC’s started in 1988 with the “Methanol Marathon,” EcoCAR3 began last year.

In the contest, WVU makes up one of 16 national teams aiming to develop an environmentally friendly Chevrolet Camaro. Team members consist of undergraduate, graduate and Ph. D. students.

Wayne said last year the

team focused on designing the vehicle’s components through computer software. This year, the students will receive the Camaro, implement their designs and run performance tests at the national competition next May in Yuma, Arizona.

WVU’s EcoCAR3 participants are mainly engineers, but the project is an interdisciplinary effort as a whole, including business, marketing, finance and communications students, according to Ryan Dudley, WVU’s EcoCAR3 team project manager.

“The way we operate is kind of how companies like General Motors oper-

ate,” Dudley said. “If somebody has a problem, we’re here (for them).”

Dudley graduated last spring as a mechanical and aerospace engineering student. He is now studying at WVU for his master’s in business administration and finance, with an emphasis in the energy sector.

Marisa Dorrett, a senior mechanical engineering student, decided to get involved in EcoCAR when she saw an advertisement her freshman year.

“I (had) to be a part of this,” she said.

Dorrett is one of two female engineers on WVU’s EcoCAR3 team. She is also a team leader.

As a woman in engineering, Dorrett takes on her leadership role with pride. “(Being a female engineer is) frustrating at times,” she said. “But it’s always really cool to see how supportive all of the (women) are in the program.”

Most recently, WVU’s EcoCAR3 team returned from a fall workshop in Natick, Massachusetts, lasting from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3.

The workshop trained EcoCAR3 leaders in types of manufacturing for making new vehicle components, Dudley said, who attended a project manager boot camp during the workshop.

The EcoCAR3 project supports national goals

to minimize oil use, reduce toxic pollutants and increase energy security, Wayne said, but the ultimate product of EcoCAR3 is producing highly qualified engineering graduates.

According to Chelsea Betts, WVU’s EcoCAR3 team’s communications manager, the participants have a 100 percent job placement rate after graduation. “(Student in EcoCAR3) can hit the ground running if they were to go work for GM or any other automotive company,” Wayne said. “You can’t get a better opportunity.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Clinton subject to hack attempts from China, Korea, Germany WASHINGTON (AP)—Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email server, which stored some 55,000 pages of emails from her time as secretary of state, was the subject of attempted cyberattacks originating in China, South Korea and Germany after she left office in early 2013, according to a congressional document obtained by The Associated Press.

While the attempts were apparently blocked by a “threat monitoring” product that Clinton’s employees connected to her network in October 2013, there was a period of more than three months from June to October 2013 when that protection had not been installed, according to a letter from Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. That means her server was possibly vulnerable to cyberattacks during that time.

Johnson’s letter to Victor Nappe, CEO of SECNAP, the company that provided the threat monitoring product, seeks a host of documents relating to the company’s work on Clinton’s server and the nature of the cyber intrusions detected. Johnson’s committee is investigating Clinton’s email arrangement.

Clinton has not said what, if any, firewall or threat protection was used on her email server before June 2013, including the time she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013 and the server was kept in her home in the New York City suburbs.

A February 2014 email from SECNAP reported that malicious software based in China “was found running an attack against” Clinton’s

server. In total, Senate investigators have found records describing three such attempts linked to China, one based in Germany and one originating in South Korea. The attacks occurred in 2013 and 2014. The letter describes four attacks, but investigators have since found records about a fifth, officials who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly said.

It was not immediately clear whether the attempted intrusions into Clinton’s server were serious espionage threats or the sort of nuisance attacks that hit computer servers the world over. But the new revelations underscore the extent to which any private email server is a target, raising further questions about Clinton’s decision to undertake sensitive government business over private email stored on a homemade system.

Any hackers who got access to her server in 2013 or 2014 could have stolen a trove of sensitive email traffic involving the foreign relations of the United States.

Thousands of Clinton emails made public under the Freedom of Information Act have been heavily redacted for national security and other reasons.

Clinton “essentially circumvented millions of dollars’ worth of cybersecurity investment that the federal government puts within the State Department,” said Justin Harvey, chief security officer of Fidelis Cybersecurity.

“She wouldn’t have had the infrastructure to detect or respond to cyber attacks from a nation-state,” he said.

“Those attacks are incredibly

Culcasi spoke of her experiences assisting refugees in Palestine and Jordan. She discussed the struggles they face in camps regarding living conditions, education and identity.

She said to help the situation, the public has to stop distancing themselves from refugees in crisis.

“I think that it takes a long time for the discourse to change, and we need to get rid of our ethnocentric and xenophobic ideas about the world,” Culcasi said. “We need to break down borders, literal borders, physical borders, but also our emotional borders.

We need to stop the othering process.”

“The people I’ve worked with always remind me of resilience and beauty, because of what they’ve gone through,” Sokoto said.

“They are still here, trying to make do with what they have and survive in this world—just like you and I—but given what they’ve gone through, they’re like my heroes.”

And if you have a private server, it’s very likely that you would be compromised.”

A spokesman for the Clinton campaign did not answer detailed questions from The Associated Press about the cyber intrusions. Instead, spokesman Brian Fallon attacked Johnson by linking him to the House Benghazi committee inquiry, which the campaign dismissed in a recent media ad as politically motivated.

“Ron Johnson is ripping a page from the House Benghazi Committee’s playbook and mounting his own, taxpayer-funded sham of an to questions from the audience before panelists shared final statements about how to get involved.

“It is time for us to act as global citizens,” said Rebecca Speer, WVU’s UNICEF Campus Initiative president. “A person’s nationality, whether it be Syrian, Pakistani or American, should carry no weight when it comes to showing human compassion.”

This week, WVU’s Syrian Week of Awareness campaign raised nearly $1,000 for the Collateral Repair Project to offer a temporary home to the many Iraqi and Syrian refugees.

investigation with the sole purpose of attacking Hillary Clinton politically,” campaign spokesman Fallon said by email. “The Justice Department is already conducting a review concerning the security of her server equipment, and Ron Johnson has no business interfering with it for his own partisan ends.”

The FBI is investigating whether national security was compromised by Clinton’s email arrangement.

In June 2013, Johnson’s letter says, Platte River hired SECNAP Network Security Corp. to use a product called CloudJacket SMB, which is designed to block network access by “even the most determined hackers,” according to company literature. But the product was not up and running until October, according to Johnson’s letter, raising questions about how vulnerable Clinton’s server was during the interim.

SECNAP is not a wellknown computer security provider. The company’s website and promotional lit-

erature describe CloudJacket as a monitoring system designed to counter unauthorized intrusions and monitor threats around the clock.

Corporate documents show SECNAP has been in existence since at least 2002, selling computer spam filter and firewall products.

A SECNAP representative declined to comment, citing company policy.

Governon Dustin Seabolt abstained from the vote, acting instead as a representative for the group since his friend was a member.

This week’s grant approvals contrasted greatly with the first grant ap-

“I feel like the literacy rates in West Virginia are kind of shocking when you go deep down and look at the facts,” said Ben Safer, a sophomore civil and mining engineering student.

Safer, who attended Wednesday’s event, feels WVU’s support for these events can be influential considering the University’s status as an institution.

“It’s important that we spread awareness as the flagship school of the state to help increase the awareness of the literacy rates that are happening in the various counties in our state,” Safer said.

Though the event was

intended mainly to raise awareness, the LVMPC hopes some participants were intrigued enough to ask about volunteering for one-on-one tutoring.

The organization has previously found success recruiting WVU English students, Wasser said.

“If (students) take away something from this, that would be absolutely great...” Wasser said. “... West Virginia literacy rates are pretty appalling in this country. So there’s definitely an opportunity to learn something, and, perhaps, people who show(ed) up might be inspired to help the LVMPC.” For more information about the LVMPC, call its Morgantown office at (304) 296-3400 from 10-5 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

editorial

Improving Greek life and campus culture University leaders have been advocating for a campus-wide culture change at West Virginia University since last year’s riots after WVU’s win against Baylor.

In efforts to turn advocacy into reality, the University named Roy Baker as associate dean of students and director of Greek life earlier this week, a position that is new to the University.

Baker’s position will aim to bring a “transformative change” to the overall view of Greek life, and he will act as a mentor to and advocate for WVU’s Greek community.

This is not Baker’s first time in a university leadership position focused on the transformation of the Greek system. His tenures at both Pennsylvania State University and Syracuse University served well for both institutions

as they expanded their Greek communities and held its members to higher standards.

However, students at these universities have not always been pleased with Baker’s tactics for improvement. For example, in July 2008, soon after he began at Penn State, Baker worked alongside the school’s Interfraternity Council to restrict freshmen from attending social functions at fraternity houses. “... While we welcome your interest in the sorority/fraternity community during formal recruitment in the fall, you may not visit fraternity chapter houses during the summer,” Baker said in his email according to a 2008 report in Penn State’s student newspaper, the Daily Collegian.

Needless to say, this did not go over well

w i t h s t u d e nt s, a n d Baker later retracted his statement.

Still, there are some who meet Baker with hostility and feel he has negatively impacted t h e ca mpu s’ G re e k system.

Recent tweets such as, “Down goes Roy Baker # Ma ke Gre e k L i fe G reatAgain,” and “…Grow some balls and stop letting Roy Baker ruin Greek Life,” reflect the resistance to the transformation Baker has instilled.

Baker’s efforts with other universities have been to expand Greek life, improve its judicial system, and to unify the community, tasks he seems to have accomplished. Though his ways may have seemed strict and demanding for students at first, his impact has been beneficial for the view of Penn State’s Greek

community.

Although we do not yet know Baker’s specific plans for improving Greek life at WVU, this editorial staff believes he will be a major contributor to the positive culture change at the University. Based on his record, Baker will integrate higher standards to Greek life members, with the ultimate goal of improving the reputation of the University and its students.

It is important for students to remember that change is not necessarily bad, and they need to approach efforts of improvement with an open mind and motivation. If students can efficiently collaborate with Baker, WVU’s campus is one step closer to its goal of a positive, improving change.

Relationship trauma’s real effects in college students timothy hayes Ohio state university

You feel like someone’s just punched you in the gut.

You feel your heart drop.

Tears begin to well up in your eyes as your ex walks away for the last time. It’s done.

You’re finished. Your relationship has ended.

Ending a relationship sucks, no matter who you are. Whether you break up with them or they break up with you, no one wants to have that guilt-filled conversation. If you’re the one to initiate the breakup, all the blame seems to fall on you in that moment.

If you get broken up with, the sense of dread accompanying the anticipation of the conversation or the crushing revelation in the moment can be overwhelming. You might try to keep your cool and not cry, but your heart just won’t let you. For days afterward, you’re anxious. You can’t sleep. You’re crying all the time. You have increased or decreased appetite. Thoughts of guilt and depression slip in and out of your head. You’re a wreck.

If you’ve been fortunate enough to never have had to go through this, I can assure you that you’re envied by many in the collegiate world. According to a study from James Madison University, males tend to have approximately five romantic relationships and females usually have around three while in college. This coincides with an increase in the number of women on college campuses and a decrease in males. Since there are fewer men and more women, the men are more likely to date.

However, with such a large pool of women, women tend

dominicavibes.dm

Breakups are difficult for everyone involved. to date less and have more competition.

With fewer men and more women creating an imbalance, breakups are bound to occur. This unfortunate reality hits some harder than others. However, the duration of a romantic relationship does not always correlate to the severity of the breakup. Instead, the intensity of the bond established with the other person will directly correlate with the intensity of symptoms experienced after a breakup.

Some factors affecting speed and intensity of emotional bonding include amount of time spent with the other person while in

their physical presence. According to Psychology Today, physical contact with a partner can increase intimacy and bonding through the neurotransmitters oxytocin and dopamine. With the release of dopamine, a region of the brain called the limbic system begins to associate that person with good feelings, creating a drive to seek out that person and spend time with them.

When you have a breakup, your brain can go into panic mode. Known as the “fight or flight” response, this causes the brain to releases cortisol and adrenaline into the body, which increases heart

rate and prepares people to either run away or hit someone. Some breakups can even induce the extreme response of panic attacks in susceptible people.

Physically, some people experience nausea, tears, headaches and gastrointestinal distress during breakups. Mentally, symptoms can include depression, anxiety and insomnia. In rare cases, extreme trauma can actually cause undue stress to the heart, which increases the risk of heart failure. Yes, that means you can actually die of a broken heart, but don’t start dialing 9-1-1 just yet. The incidence of reported cases for this is lower than 2 percent

and the number of reported deaths are extremely few.

One very common postbreakup behavior is a change in appetite. Many people report eating excessive amounts of food after being dumped. This is likely due to the release of dopamine when eating certain foods like macaroni and cheese and other comfort foods, as it replaces the dopamine lost from being with an ex. Food can disable stress, but the increased caloric intake is usually not balanced with increased physical activity to prevent weight gain. With an increase in cortisol and lack of dopamine in the body, people are also more likely

to feel sluggish post-breakup and not want to leave their bed.

When you go through a breakup, send out the S-O-S signals. Get your friends and family involved. Ask someone to bring you some chocolate and watch Netflix with you. Get out and do something fun. Go to a theme park and ride some rollercoasters—I dare you to think of your ex while you’re flying around a curve at 80 miles per hour.

Make sure that you don’t fall into a funk of lying in your bed and wishing everything was just back to the way it was before. Get up and get active.

Tents No. 3, 4, 5 and 10 combined, were awarded “best display.” After last year, juniors Sam Mitro, Will Ravenscroft and Kortney Teike knew just how to prepare and what to bring.

The four tents’ amazing display featured two “Monster” canopy tents, a television with a gaming system, multiple chairs and a futon. The group had their stuff brought down in trucks on Sunday.

“The University is being very lenient with everything,” said Sam Mitro, a sports management student. “I think we have been very respectful with, our area, so I think they are letting us get away with it. I don’t want to step on their toes. Last year, it just kind of happened that we were one of the tents blasting music, and a lot of people were coming by, and our

friends all had an amazing time. This year, we just wanted to step it up. We thought we could grab the corner, put these tents up, the canopy ones, and we can make a place that is so amazing to hang out with and hang out all day.”

“I think we can double the turnout of this year for next year,” said Ravenscroft, a mechanical and aerospace engineering student.

The students hang out during the day while listening to music, playing video games and socializing with everyone they can. They invite everyone to come and visit their tents.

“I have seen my friends’ parents bring these to their tailgates before the football games,” Mitro said. “We realized we could just have a tailgate pretty much all week, and that’s where the inspiration came from.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

After much discussion, Tent 18 is awarded “Most Team Spirited.” The tent is located along the corner edge of the Mountainlair Green by the stairs where it can be seen lighting up and shining blue and gold all night. The tent is owned by Jacob Dolin, a sophomore electrical engineering student.

In general, when people participating in tent city heard the words, “team spirit,” they pointed to his tent.

“We have the blue and white lights, we have our TV inside, and we have been trying to make it home-y,” Dolin said. “Give it the WVU feel.

WVU is like a second home to me. It is another part of life, it is a part of us now being here.

It is the Mountaineer pride

wanting to be a part of West Virginia.”

The tent has plenty of blankets and pillows to make it comfy, a TV for more entertainment and shines West Virginia pride at night. He and his friends goal for his tent was to make it feel the most like WVU. “We are actually here not just to party, but because we want to be here,” Dolin said.

“We are here because it is tent city, and we want to be ready for homecoming. We want to beat Oklahoma State, which I guess everybody else does too though. We were here Sunday ready to grab our spot. We are number 18. We were surprised that we were number 18. We didn’t expect that many people to be here already since it was supposed to be Monday.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Star City Hot Dogs, a one-of-a-kind place serving an American classic Ally Litten

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

University Avenue is one of the largest streets running through West Virginia University’s campus. The street is littered with local shops, restaurants and bars. In the midst of these businesses stands a small building called Star City Hog Dogs. Although the building is small, once you know about Star City Hot Dogs, it is hard to forget.

Star City Hot Dogs opened in the mid-1980’s, Bob Sollars and his wife Karen visited the hot dog stand and fell in love with the idea of one day owning it. Purchasing it in 1994, the Sollars have owned the business for more than 20 years.

“I had been there before, and I did know the owners,” Sollars said. “I saw it, and I thought man, that would be an interesting business.”

The hot dog stand has been a part of many local chains in its lifetime, including Hometown Hot Dogs. However, five years ago, the Sollars family decided it was time for a change. Changing the name to Star City Hot Dogs and breaking away from local chains, the hot dog stand is officially a one of a kind restaurant loved by Star City patrons.

“We have a regular crew that comes in every Saturday and has their lunch and everything,” Sollars said. “They brought their kids in and now their kids come in, graduated from college and seeing their

parents on the weekends.”

Star City Hot Dogs has become tradition in the Morgantown community. Their basic menu has proven itself for more than two decades.

“For the student audience, they can come feed themselves for under $10 and even cheaper depending on what they’re getting,” Sollars said.

The menu consists of hotdogs, pepperoni rolls, chili and the classic Frito pie. Consisting of corn chips, chili, cheese and sour cream, the Frito pie is the most unique item on the menu. Although the menu is basic, Star City Hot Dogs prides themselves on making quality American favorites.

“Our chili, our coleslaw, those are fresh made,” Sollars said. “If you get a hotdog with chili, it was made that morning. Nothing is frozen. Everything is fresh.

Everything, even onions, are cut by hand. We don’t use any food processors so it has that fresh taste.”

Local residents love the fresh taste of the food. Ray Frankhouser of Albright, West Virginia has been visiting the hot dog shop two to three times a week for years.

“What keeps me coming back is the taste of the food and the smile of Bob’s worker Valerie and the hospitality,” Frankhouser said.

What is the future of Star City Hot Dogs? Business can be hard especially during tough economic times, but Star City Hot Dogs doesn’t plan on going anywhere any time

soon. In fact, it is Sollars’ retirement plan.

“I plan to retire from my full time job and become a hot dog guy full time,” Sollars said. “When I’m there and working I don’t have stress. I have friends and hot dogs.”

Sollars is not the only hot dog lover that cherishes Star City Hot Dogs.

Star City Hot Dogs is a local favorite and is loved by many. Generations of families have supported the business for years. As Sollars puts it, “It’s a West Virginia thing I guess.”

SOJA Shines: Jah Army packs Metropolitan Theatre chelsea walker A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

With reggae rocking from wall to wall, Morgantown’s Metropolitan Theater hosted Virginia-based band SOJA, as the show marked the group’s first return to the Mountain State in years.

With seats packed, the Metropolitan Theatre’s first act, J.Boog took the stage opening for the award winning ensemble. J.Boog and his six-man group prepped the crowd for SOJA, opening with reggae infused hiphop beats.

The group’s rasta-infused rhymes had the crowd jumping to songs such as “Leaving With Me.” J.Boog even performed hit track, “Let’s Do It Again,” by hiphop, pop artist Pia Mia. Kathryn Richman, a sophomore biology student, felt J.Boog’s group created an awesome atmosphere before the show for the Morgantown reggae community.

“SOJA always has really good openers,” Richman said. “They create a pretty good atmosphere before the show.”

Richman, who has never seen J.Boog and his posse

on stage, said she was impressed by the opening act.

The WVU student has seen SOJA live in Virginia Beach, Virginia at the popular Norva and once in Portsmouth, Virginia.

Although Richman felt the crowd turnout was near what she expected, she did say she was surprised that such a large reggae community existed in West Virginia.

“Morgantown has so many different people from so many different places,” Richman said. “It’s so nice, it’s really cool to see all of these people here for this band, just because it feels almost like a sense of community here in Morgantown.”

Richman said she was looking forward to hearing SOJA’s “Here I Am,” a track she feels is one of their best.

American Grammynominated music ensemble SOJA received a warm applause from its West Virginia family as the crowd welcomed the group’s return to Morgantown With roots in Arlington, Virginia, the reggae band known as SOJA craft jams composed of an array of genres, from Latin, to go-go, rock and hiphop. After meeting in mid-

SOJA rocks the Met in front of a packed house. dle school, front man Jacob Hemphill and bassist Bobby Lee Jefferson, along with friends Patrick O’Shea, Ken Brownell and Ryan Berty, formed a band that, in a few short years would make up SOJA. After meeting remaining members, Trevor Young, Rafael Rodriguez and Hellman Escorcia, the group released their EP, “SOJA.” Since the group’s initial start, they have released 11

albums and toured in 30 different countries across the globe. The group’s reggae aesthetic has also earned them an impressive fan base, one that’s alive and thriving in Morgantown.

Filling the Metropolitan Theatre to near capacity, SOJA was welcomed with a rowdy greeting from the crowd. Opening with “I Believe,” from SOJA’s most recent record, “Amid the Noise and Haste,” SOJA front man

Hemphill dazzled the crowd harmonic vocals.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve been here,” Hemphill said. “This is tight.”

SOJA got their start years ago, with the immature group performing in the infamous 123 Pleasant Street.

Hemphill shared the stage with band members, with impressive bass solos from Jefferson and solos drifting from Escorcia on saxo-

phone. The eight-man ensemble featured opener J.Boog and special guest Dustin Simon for popular Jamaican infused jives. The group’s laid back vibes and stellar vocals creatively infused styles from multiple genres to create a tropical vibe.

‘AHS: Hotel’ preview A-bomb test subject of new ‘Manhatten’ season Woody Pond

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Nothing says Halloween like a brand new season of “American Horror Story.”

The anthology series begins telling a new spooky tale at the beginning of every October, and the show plays through the end of January. The fifth installment in the series is titled “American Horror Story: Hotel” and takes place in, you guessed it, a hotel. This season could be a make-orbreak for the show’s popularity, as the fourth season “Freak Show,” was not as well received as its predecessors. Not only that, but the show’s award-winning leading lady Jessica Lange will not be returning for “Hotel,” and will be replaced by eccentric pop idol Lady Gaga.

As soon as season four ended and everyone began expressing their mixed feelings on the season as well as their dismay at the loss of Lange, FX representatives came out to tell the masses that season five was going to be a departure from the previous style of “American Horror Story” seasons, and that it would be much different. When it was revealed that the fifth season was going to take place in a creepy, haunted hotel, the Internet went crazy hypothesizing what was in store for the hit FX series. Now that the new season is almost underway, there is more information on the table for analysis.

The whole season takes place in and around the Hotel Cortez in present-day Los Angeles. The creators have hinted at an appearance of the Murder House in season one as well as some past characters possibly showing up. It is one of the most expansive sets

in AHS history and is thematically darker than previous seasons. Creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have also promised several fun cameos and returns from actors, including Darren Criss from Glee and Emma Roberts.

There are a variety of interesting characters in the new season—a psychotic architect, a desperate drug addict and an obsessive male model.

Evan Peters is finally playing a darker role as the demented builder of the hotel.

Sarah Paulson will potentially play her first villain role in the show, as the selfish drug addict Sally, which will be an exciting turn for her in the show’s progression. Finn Wittrock plays a male model who is obsessed with Lady Gaga’s character, a fashionista who owns the hotel and is also engaged in a relationship with White Collar’s Matt Bomer.

Kathy Bates plays Iris, the hotel manager and mother of Bomer’s character Donovan, who seemed rather malicious in the new season’s trailer. The trailer also showed two ghost kids making appearances, a body being sewn into a mattress by Paulson and Angela Bassett leading a man around with a leash and collar.

This season promises to be gruesome, bloody and disturbing—which has been somewhat lacking from the show since season two, Asylum. AHS is ready to shock viewers once more as they sit at the edge of their seat, peering through the cracks in their hands, enjoying a brand new scary story acted out by some of the best talent in television just in time for Halloweeen.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — After the first season of WGN America’s “Manhattan,” actor John Benjamin Hickey sought to learn more about the Manhattan Project.

He and co-star Ashley Zukerman read about the Tularosa Basin Downwinders - descendants of a small New Mexico Hispanic village near where the U.S. Army first tested the atomic bomb on July 16, 1945. They studied the aftermath of the bomb’s creation on the scientists.

Next week marks the debut of the second season of WGN America’s drama “Manhattan,” and Hickey said viewers can expect more complicated characters wrestling with moral questions of creating a bomb that could wipe out humanity. He and other actors have met with members of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders, and they have toured real historic sites connected to the bomb.

Hickey, who plays scientist Frank Winter, said it was important for him and the others not to make judg-

ments based in hindsight but to place themselves in the chaotic context of World War II America.

“It’s so easy to talk in history in soundbites,” said Zukerman, who plays scientist Charles Isaac. “To actually put (myself) in that time ... I get to learn what it was like for these people. That’s this history lesson.”

The second season of the World War II-era drama series is scheduled to begin Tuesday on WGN America.

Series creator Sam Shaw said audiences can expect characters to face the ethical dilemmas that come with testing an unknown bomb with unknown power without being preachy.

However, Shaw said producers wanted to be accurate about the deadly test’s effects and hinted that finale will conclude with the Trinity Test along with the effects of the atomic blasts on nearby residents in the New Mexico desert.

“I want to hang a lantern to the sort of moral ambiguity that exists,” Manhattan

executive producer Thomas Schlamme said. “Then, I want to let other people make their minds up.”

This July marked the 70th year anniversary since the Trinity Test in New Mexico took place as part of the Manhattan Project, a topsecret World War II nuclear development program out of the then-secret city of Los Alamos. It came as nearby Tularosa residents now say they were permanently affected by the test and want acknowledgement and compensation from the U.S. government.

The blast sent out a flash of light seen as far as nearly 300 miles away, and Army officials said at the time it was a result of an ammunition explosion. Residents did not learn it was an atomic bomb until the U.S. dropped the weapon on Japan a month later, helping end World War II. Many of those living near the Trinity site were not told about the dangers and later suffered rare forms of cancer, Tularosa residents say.

“It’s drama you can’t write,” said Tina Cordova, cofounder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders.

She has watched the first season of “Manhattan” and is anticipating the second one. “If the show includes the Downwinders, it will be the first time our story has ever been shared.”

For some scientists who built the bomb, its creation always haunted them - and that’s what the series hopes to capture without lecturing, Schlamme said.

“Their lives are more complicated and more confusing,” Schlamme said. “And many of them step into a darker place than they had ever imagined they’d think their lives would take them.”

Katja Herbers, who plays scientist Helen Prins, said those ethical questions don’t plague her character as much as others in the second season. As one of the few female scientists, her character is trying to maintain her sanity in a largely male world while contributing to the defeat of Nazi Germany.

“On the women’s team, Marshall will be a great challenge,” Riggs said. “It came down to the last session last year for us to secure the win. We’ll need some strong swims to win this week.”

Last year, WVU placed first overall in Huntington.

The women’s team finished ahead of Marshall by less than 200 points, while the men’s team compiled 1,000 points more than WVU Tech to sweep the meet for the third-straight year.

Karl Joseph’s WVU career over after season-ending injury

BY DAVID STATMAN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

One of the brightest careers in West Virginia football history has come to a premature end.

On Wednesday, the Mountaineers announced that star safety Karl Joseph suffered a season-ending, right knee injury during a non-contact drill in practice Tuesday, putting an end to his senior season and forcing West Virginia to face a future without its best player.

“I am devastated and heartbroken for Karl,” said Mountaineer head coach Dana Holgorsen in a press release. “He is a young man who has given everything he has to our football program and university over the past four years and who elected to

return to WVU for his senior season to earn his degree and to be part of something special with the team.”

Joseph’s list of accomplishments over his three years and four games with West Virginia put him on the shortlist of the best defensive players the Mountaineers have ever fielded.

A starter since his first day on campus, Joseph never missed a game, and hardly even any plays, prior to his injury. Renowned for his hard hits but also possessing excellent coverage skills, Joseph was a First Team AllBig 12 selection last season and appeared well on his way to All-American status and a high NFL Draft pick this year.

But more than that, Joseph was frequently described as the motivational leader of the team, and both Holgorsen and defensive coordina-

tor Tony Gibson have listed him among the best players they’ve ever coached.

“He exemplifies what it means to be a Mountaineer,” Holgorsen said. “Karl is an All-American, a fierce competitor, a leader and I know he will have a full recovery, and I can’t wait to watch him on Sundays next fall.”

In a statement, Joseph expressed his gratitude towards the rest of the program for its support, and said that he will continue to support the team in turn.

“I want to thank my teammates and my coaches for their outpouring of support,” Joseph said. “This has been difficult for me and my family but I know I will come through this stronger than ever. I will forever be a Mountaineer and will be cheering on our team every step of the way.”

Through four games this season, Joseph was second on the team in tackles with 20, and was tied for best in the nation with five interceptions. Three of those picks came in the third quarter of West Virginia’s season opener against Georgia Southern. Joseph recorded another, along with a couple of his trademark highlight hits, last Saturday against Oklahoma, in what will end up being his last game as a Mountaineer.

Losing Joseph could not come at a worse time for the Mountaineers, as they head into the midst of the toughest stretch of their season.

Having already been dealt a loss in its first game against a ranked team, West Virginia now faces No. 21 Oklahoma State, No. 3 Baylor and No. 2 TCU in the coming weeks.

One of WVU’s strengths

this season is depth in the secondary, and the pressure will be put on starters Dravon Askew-Henry and KJ Dillon to shoulder some of Joseph’s load.

Joseph’s injury leaves open a starting spot in Tony Gibson’s 3-3-5 defense, which could be filled by senior safety Jarrod Harper, who has four total tackles this season, or junior Jeremy Tyler, who also has four. Harper and Tyler were listed alongside each other in the most recent depth chart released shortly after Joseph’s injury was announced, indicating that the decision has not yet been made.

West Virginia will continue its 2015 football season at 7 p.m. Saturday, when it faces Oklahoma State at Milan Puskar Stadium. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

VOLLEYBALL

Mountaineers lose fourth straight to Robert Morris, 3-1 by nicole Curtin sports editor @nicolec_WVU

The West Virginia University women’s volleyball team closed its non-conference schedule with a match against the Robert Morris University Colonials, with a 3-1 loss last night, this is the fourth straight loss for the Mountaineers.

“Disappointing loss, we’ve got to figure it out. We need to get better everyday,” said head coach Reed Sunahara. “I would like to think we could play with that intensity all the time, I don’t know if we have the right kids in right now or the right chemistry, but that’s what we have to figure out.”

In the first set, RMU and West Virginia battled back and forth exchanging points by kill and error, before the Colonials took a lead of 12-7. The fivepoint lead was just the beginning of the RMU takeover in set one. The Colonials went

on a 3-0 kill run and tacked on four more points from attacking and service errors.

The Mountaineers were down 22-11, a kill from freshman outside hitter Bridgett Talia was the last earned point from the WVU side of the net.

The first set ended with a score of 25-14.

Following the switch, the second set showed a more communicative Mountaineer team that seemed to be clicking together well. West Virginia won the set with solid performances from junior setter Haley Roe and sophomore outside hitter Morgan Montgomery.

Roe contributed a kill in the second set, but the teamwork between her, Montgomery and senior Caleah Wells at the net kept WVU in the lead through the entire set. Montgomery posted six of her kills in the second set alone, and while she struggled with a couple of errors, she hit four

in a row near the end to extend West Virginia’s lead to 23-15, before RMU suffered two attacking errors to give up the set.

In the match, West Virginia scored a total of 51 kills but tacked 32 attacking errors onto that, giving the ball back to Robert Morris with a point each time. Montgomery continues to lead the Mountaineer offense with 22 kills and was followed by Talia with 15.

“I think its decision making too, we had a lot of hitting errors, we got out-dug, we got a lot of serving errors, we’re giving them easy points, and that’s what we have to minimize but we also have to make sure we’re aggressive at the same time,” Sunahara said.

“So if we can find the combination – we’re young, but we’re in the middle of the season. They should be veterans, so we’ve got to make sure they do a better job of executing at a higher level.”

Returning to the court after halftime, set three resembled more of the first set, but both teams were battling hard.

Through some long rallies and several kills from each side of the net, RMU and West Virginia exchanged points in most of the set.

A service error from Talia and a few kills from Robert Morris extended a small lead the Colonials held, up 18-14.

West Virginia came back with a service ace from sophomore libero Gianna Gotterba and kills from Montgomery, Talia and sophomore middle blocker Mia Swanegan, but RMU returned with its own power. The Colonials took the third set, 25-18.

In set four Robert Morris had a two-set advantage and wanted to run away with it.

The Colonials were up 16-5 when Montgomery hit three straight kills, trying to cut the lead, but it wasn’t enough.

Kills and an ace from the

RMU side as well as attacking errors on West Virginia extended the score 20-13. With only a few plays before Robert Morris would win, Talia, Roe and Montgomery fought hard to catch up. Set three ended in a WVU loss, with a score of 25-18.

“I just feel like some people really wanted it, and some people, not saying that they didn’t want it, they just weren’t in it,” Gotterba said following the loss. “We all have to be flowing, chemistry together at the same time in order for us to be successful.

We came into this match with a good feeling, but I think one of the things we need to work on as a team is not stooping to a team’s level, always work as hard as we can.”

West Virginia hits the road this weekend for a matchup on Saturday against Kansas State. ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu

SWIMMING AND DIVING

WVU dives into season at WV State Games

BY ROGER TURNER SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Today marks the beginning of the long season ahead for the West Virginia swimming and diving teams, who play host tonight in the first day of the annual West Virginia State Games.

“After almost two months of preparation and getting our training at mid-season level, it’s time to see how the teams will respond to competition,” said head coach Vic Riggs.

Riggs’ experienced group of swimmers and divers on both teams have set the bar high for themselves entering their first official meet of the season.

Senior diver Lindsey

Schmidt returns to the board for the Mountaineers, aiming for a chance to compete at the Big 12 Championships and qualify for the NCAA Championships in her final season as a Mountaineer.

“The biggest thing is to take top three in 3-meter, and hopefully 1-meter at Big 12’s,” Schmidt said. “I definitely want to qualify for Zones, and then make it to NCAAs. Last year the top seven made it and I was in ninth, so I’m hoping I can make the improvements and make NCAAs.” Schmidt finished last season as an All-Big 12 second team selection, despite not clinching a spot in the NCAA Championships.

For the men, last week’s record-setting swimmers Andrew Marsh and Nate

Carr led the Mountaineers again tonight in the Natatorium. 13 more seniors ready to provide leadership in and out of the pool accompany Marsh and Carr going forward.

Following top-five finishes by both teams in last year’s Big 12 Championships, teamwork is the key for better results in 2015.

“Both teams have leadership that has developed well over the past three years,” Riggs stated. “We’re still learning how to be leaders, but the athletes in those positions are doing a really good job of bringing the teams together.”

The West Virginia men and women’s swimming and diving teams have swept the West Virginia State Games four out of the five years

WVU has competed in the event. Last year’s meet was hosted by Marshall in Huntington, and although in Morgantown, the competing schools in this year’s State Games will remain the same. Marshall, Wheeling Jesuit, West Virginia Wesleyan, Fairmont State, Bethany College, WVU Tech, Davis & Elkins College and AldersonBroaddus University will be in attendance for the twoday meet.

The women’s team enters competition with depth on the diving platform and a strong relay team. In last year’s meet, Marshall’s women’s team threatened the Mountaineers’ chances.

After last year’s close call for the women, Coach Vic Riggs doesn’t discount Marshall on being just as good

One-anddone not the way to go One of college sports’ biggest arguments is that of the one-and-done athlete, mainly seen in college basketball.

In college football, a player is required to wait a minimum of three years after graduating from high school before they are eligible to play in the NFL. However, it wasn’t long ago we saw athletes make the leap directly from high school to the NBA, with players like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.

James and Bryant are two examples of how an athlete can skip the process of college, go straight to the pros and flourish. However, no player has made that jump in football during the modern era, much to the delight of college football fans.

So could a player make that jump from high school in today’s game?

The talent level in high school increases every year and players make that argument harder to ignore with each passing season.

One athlete people thought could make the jump is LSU running back Leonard Fournette.

Fournette has been one of college football’s top players this season. One rush shy of 100 on the year, he’s racked up 864 yards and 11 touchdowns while averaging 8.7 yards a carry.

After surpassing the 1,000 yard mark his freshman year and posting 10 scores as well, he’s certainly solidified his place on an NFL roster and will likely be a top pick in draft.

At the end of this season, Fournette will have only completed two years of his minimum three to enter the draft. Due to his physical style of running, rumors have swirled about him forgoing his junior season at LSU to avoid any injury before being selected in the NFL Draft.

LSU head coach Les Miles quickly dismissed those rumors for the simple reason of not being able to fathom Fournette taking a fall off.

Fournette answered those rumors as well with a tweet that read, “I will never jump ship… I’m drowning with my brothers.”

There is always the risk of an injury for football players, particularly with the game continually getting faster. Some players who have already suffered an injury have no choice but to think about their future.

For those with professional aspirations, rehabbing and getting their body right to perform for NFL scouts might be their top priority.

UCLA linebacker Myles Jack recently withdrew from school and announced he’ll enter the NFL Draft after he suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Bruins head coach Jim Mora considers the move to be incredibly risky because of the speculation of where Jack will fall in the draft.

CBSSports.com projects him as a top 15 pick, while some have him landing early in the second round, likely because of his injury.

In his case, the talent is there and an NFL future is more likely than not. So while withdrawing from school may look bad toward his character, as his Bruins are ranked No. 20 in the AP Top 25, it’s probably the smartest move on his part to focus on his rehab.

The speed seen in the NFL game can be overwhelming at times for someone transitioning from college to the pros but for Fournette especially, college is an opportunity to mature and grow as an athlete.

Glossing over the benefits the college game presents could be detrimental to an athlete, which is why so many to go straight from high school to the NBA found themselves as busts of the century. We’re looking at you, Kwame Brown.

Michaela Abam heads dynamic WVU offense

BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

When a team is known for its No. 2 nationally ranked defense, it’s easy to overlook offense. The No. 3 Mountaineers (11-1, 2-0) have won games all season long behind the efforts of their nationally acclaimed back line.

The team has so far been one of the most dominant in the country, led by FIFA Women’s World Cup Best Young Player Kadeisha Buchanan and senior goalkeeper Hannah Steadman who has posted 10 shutouts in 12 games.

The Mountaineer defense ranks second in the nation in shutout percentage and goals against average and leads the country in shutouts. Clearly, the nationally-recognized defense is largely responsible for the

Mountaineers’ No. 3 ranking, the highest in program history.

However, no team is complete without a reliable offensive base to complement the defense. Numbers don’t lie, and looking at the numbers the Mountaineers have produced, the offense is just as big a factor for their success as the defense.

Nobody is more responsible for success on the offensive end than sophomore forward Michaela Abam, who is leading the Mountaineers in goals for a second year in a row. As last year’s Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, Abam led West Virginia with seven goals.

Abam’s stats ranked her fourth in the Big 12 in goals and sixth in points as a true freshman.

Abam began the 2015 season with big hopes, being named to the preseason All-Big 12 team. Abam is

also one of three Mountaineers ranked in the top 100 in the country by TopDrawerSoccer.com. Kadeisha Buchanan takes the No. 1 national ranking, Abam is ranked 69th, and junior midfielder Ashley Lawrence ranks 75th.

In Friday night’s game against TCU, Abam had the deciding goal in the 81st minute to surpass her total from last year. Her eight goals through just 12 games tie her for 29th in the country and place her at second in the Big 12.

Since the Mountaineers’ Aug. 29 loss against Virginia Tech, they have gone on a path of destruction, winning 10 straight games and outscoring opponents 271. Before TCU’s 29th minute goal by Michelle Prokof, who leads the Big 12 in scoring, the Mountaineers had not allowed a goal in nine games, a program record.

During that 10-game stretch, Abam posted eight goals, including a programrecord four goals against Villanova in an 8-0 win that also set a program record.

“I’m extremely proud of Michaela, she’s definitely worked hard to transform her game this summer,” said Mountaineer head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown following that historic performance.

“Michaela really made sure she turned (her fitness) around and is able to play full speed for 90 minutes.”

Despite already passing her scoring total from last season, Abam has no plans of slowing down, with six games still on the regular season slate.

“It feels awesome, it just makes me want to score more,” Abam said.

Abam credits her teammates for her success, with many of her scoring opportunities coming as a re-

sult of a rebound or a beautifully placed cross from a teammate.

“I have a great team, I have a great environment around me,” Abam said. “So I make sure during training that while they’re making me better, I’m doing the same.”

Abam said that she learns from her elder teammates, Buchanan and Lawrence, who got experience playing in the World Cup this summer for Canada. Abam herself was a member of the USA Under-17 national team and was the No. 18 ranked recruit in the nation before committing to play for Izzo-Brown.

While Abam has learned from her older teammates, newcomer Nia Gordon has looked up to her for guidance. Gordon credits a lot of her fast start this season to Abam’s mentoring during the offseason.

“She just does the unexpected… She’s so quick and her shot is so powerful.

She’s just overall an amazing player. She’s the best striker I’ve seen, ever,” Gordon said.

Abam leads the Mountaineers in goals (8), shots (65) and shots on goal (25) and is second only to senior Kailey Utley in game-winning goals (2) and points (16). Abam and Utley combine with Ashley Lawrence and freshman Nia Gordon to be responsible for 17 of the team’s 30 goals this season, which ties them for 16th in the country.

Abam and the No. 3 ranked Mountaineers take on Oklahoma (8-1-4, 0-0) and Texas Tech (7-1-4, 0-2) this weekend, before returning home for their final two home games of the regular season. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

RIFLE

Hammond sets sights on fourth straight national title

BY VINCE GAUDIO

SPORTS CORRESPONDENT @DAILYATHENAEUM

Just behind Morgantown’s luxurious Coliseum and up the stairs of West Virginia University’s Natatorium, you will find the famous Rifle Range. With trophies and banners hanging along the walls, you can feel a slight chill of the history behind the rifle program.

Coach Jon Hammond is someone who people can thank for playing a huge role in adding history to the program.

As another season approaches for Hammond, bringing home another championship is the ultimate goal once again.

Hammond, who is entering his 10th year as a head coach for the Mountaineers, has his mind set on bringing a championship ring back to this already decorated rifle program.

Aiming for a fourthstraight national championship will not be easy. Even though six members of the team that are returning are All-Americans, and the freshmen have represented the U.S. in many competitions across the world, Hammond stresses that this is a new season.

“This is a new year,” Hammond said. “This is a new team. A lot of our focus will be on what we do day-to-day.”

Hammond’s main focus is to not let the spotlight get to his team, as being a part of this historic coaching staff brings with it great responsibility.

He reminds each individual to stay focused and challenges each member to improve each day.

“It’s all about the athletes,” Hammond said.

“Each member of the team needs to be self-motivated and have strong aspirations

entering the season, and I think we have that with this group.”

No matter where the Mountaineers are ranked in the preseason or where people project they will be at the end of the season, Hammond reminds his shooters of the importance of practice.

“It’s all about repetition and training. Each member has to go through a full week, day-by-day, to be successful,” Hammond said.

This year is looking to be a very unique year as there are only eight members on the team. Having a smaller team will be an interesting difference for the Mountaineers, as it allows time for Hammond to go oneon-one with each member of the team and break down the problems any athlete is having.

More importantly, it allows the team to bond with each other, which Hammond believes is the most important part to a successful season.

The Mountaineers have no lack of experience, even if it involves traveling all over the world. During the offseason, the team traveled to Gabala, Azerbaijan for the International Shooting Sport Federation Gabala Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun World Cup. The Mountaineers will have a lot of experience and leadership with seniors Meelis Kiisk, Michael Bamsey, Garrett Spurgeon and Paul Sunderman. Other members of the team include junior Jean-Pierre Lucas, sophomore Elizabeth Gratz and freshmen Will Anti and Ginny Thrasher.

The road to the fourthstraight National Championship for the Mountaineers will start at 8 a.m. Saturday morning at Air Force. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

ROWING

Veteran leadership has helped WVU rowing team develop

BY VINCE GAUDIO

SPORTS CORRESPONDENT @DAILYATHENAEUM

If you went back four years ago and asked the West Virginia University campus what they knew about WVU’s rowing team, the overwhelming answer would likely be that they did not know WVU even had a rowing team.

Fast-forward to the 2015-16 season, and things are starting to look up for the Mountaineer rowing team.

After starting out this fall season with three boats finishing in the Top 3 at the important Head of Ohio regatta, the team is showing the community they have the potential to become a very successful program.

Senior Elizabeth Kantak knows how far this program has transformed from the start of her freshman year.

“I think the rowing team has become more and more visible each year since I first arrived here in 2012,” Kantak said.

“Some of that was brought on by more of an extensive recruiting effort to make all students aware that there is a rowing team and that any female student can try out if they desire to do so.

Both my sophomore and junior year we had home races on the (Monongahela River), which I think raised awareness a bit and made our rowing team more accessible to the public.”

Something about this year sparks excitement all throughout the team.

Kantak stresses that being a part of this team is like being a part of a family.

The Mountaineers strive on early-morning or late night practices almost every single day.

This may cause any other team problems, but

not this WVU team. No matter what obstacle is thrown at the team, they all share the same goal: and that’s making the team fast.

Finding a way to “make the team fast” is never easy.

All the team members must stick to the tough and sometimes painful mindset that it takes to be successful.

“There is no one to pick up your slack, so you have to be incredibly disciplined, mentally, in order to experience all the pain of racing and still be able to push even harder when the time comes,” Kantak said.

Every good team looks to a good leader for guidance and leadership, and the Mountaineers have plenty of members to fill that role.

Kantak is a senior who wants to help and lead her team any way possible.

“I just try to be there for my teammates,” Kantak said. “When having a 30 girl roster, we won’t always get along, but, at the end of the day, I’ll always be there for any of them.”

Even though the team looks upon the upperclassmen for guidance, Kantak believes everyone plays a prominent role.

“Everyone on the team is a leader in their own way, but as a senior, we have that added responsibility of passing on our knowledge to the girls who will continue to be here and help the team grow once we are gone,” she says.

The Mountaineers hope they can continue to grow and improve.

As the Mountaineers continue to improve to be successful, the community will continue to acknowledge how far they’ve come. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
