WVU names Director of Student Conduct by corey mcdonald staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Stacy Vander Velde has been hired as West Virginia University’s new Director of Student Conduct, reporting to Dean of Students Corey Farris while heading the new conduct system, which will boast accountability to both individuals and organizations.

Formerly the associate director of the Office of Student Conflict Resolution at the University of Michigan, Velde

will start at WVU on Nov. 13.

“I believe we have found just the right person to come here,” said Dr. Bill Schafer, vice president of Student Life.

“With her skills and experience, (Velde) will help us move forward in our conversations about changing the culture at the University.”

Velde has more than 15 years of experience working in conduct and conflict resolution. She has a bachelors degree in criminal justice from Indiana University and a masters of sci-

ence from Western Illinois University.

She was also a contributing author to “Reframing Campus Conflict: Student Conduct Practice through a Social Justice Lens.”

“I look forward to collaborating with the University community and finding out what’s needed to better the community,” Velde said.

While in college, Velde gained experience working with various organizations, like the Student Government, which prompted her to pur-

sue a professional career working with college students.

“I like working with college students; I didn’t realize that could be a profession,” Velde said.

But another experience influenced her career path, as well.

“My first job was with aggressive adolescence, and I found that a valuable experience,” Velde said. “I wanted to learn how to help these folks make better choices for the future.”

Velde held her position

NO SHAVE NOVEMBER

at the University of Michigan for four years before choosing to come to WVU. Most of her cases were alcohol or drug related, but she tackled serious offenses such as sexual misconduct and assault, too.

While many may view the new position as a disciplinarian role, Velde assures that she intends to focus on working with students in order to make them feel comfortable.

“My intent is not to be the principal’s office,” Velde said, “but for

someone to feel comfortable enough to trust me.”

Velde’s focus is creating a cooperative effort with students and to better enhance the personal development of each student she meets. She hopes to develop services to help students seek her office, and she wants to try and incorporate students into the student conduct program.

Velde’s ideas for the Office of Student Conduct seem to fall in line with

City decides to invest $10,000 into emergency alert system

By Jake Jarvis Staff Writer @NewsroomJake

The Morgantown City Council unanimously decided Tuesday evening to invest about $10,000 into an emergency alert system that city officials and MECCA 911 will control.

City Manager Jeff Mikorski said the new system, Everbridge, will allow the city to better alert different areas of Morgantown in the case of emergencies, road closures or power outages.

“I feel like over and over again, as a city resident, I’m being double taxed,” said Councilwoman Nancy Ganz, Seventh Ward. “This, to me, is a tax for services county residents already get.”

The city currently spends $2,790 to operate a limited Nixle alert system. The new system will cost the city an

additional $7,210 annually.

There will not be a fee to sign up to receive notifications.

MECCA 911 will also contribute $26,504 to purchase the system.

Though Ganz ultimately voted in favor of approving Mikorski’s request, she felt as if Morgantown residents got the short end of the stick again.

Since Morgantown city residents are also residents in Monongalia County, they pay city and county taxes. A third of the county’s tax-base comes from Morgantown’s approximately 30,000 permanent residents.

“I have another question,” Ganz said. “How much is Granville contributing to this?”

FIJI fraternity members face charges after kidnapping prank by caity coyne city editor @caitycoyne

Around noon on Wednesday, Morgantown Police Department responded to a call and found Christopher Grace, 21, bound by duct tape in the trunk of a car near Forrest Avenue, according to a press release from MPD. Several individuals covered in scrapes, as if they just got in a fight, were trying to get in the car and leave the scene when police arrived.

“Upon further investigation, officers found that the entire incident was part of a fraternity prank for the Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) fraternity,” the press release reads.

Luke Rusillo, Joseph Rusillo, Chadwick Miller, Matthwe Kinker, Tyler Audette, Austin Harpin and Cody Heffelfinger

will all face charges of disorderly conduct, according to the press release.

All seven men, along with Grace, are West Virginia University students according to the student directory.

The incident was reported to Roy Baker, the new director of Greek life for WVU, and he immediately called FIJI’s national chapter, according to a press release from WVU. Baker, who officially started at WVU on Oct. 30, said his office will keep up with the investigation and will take action when all the facts are disclosed.

The Office of Student Conduct, which is responsible for disciplinary action against WVU individuals and organizations, will also review the incident.

‘After Coal’ presented at WVU, depicts the gradual fall of the coal industry

By Madeleine Hall Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Interspersed with footage of Southern Wales wilderness and Appalachian Mountains blanketed in mist, the film “After Coal” offers a glimmer of optimism for communities on opposite sides of the globe hit hard by coal’s decline.

Tom Hansell, assistant professor at Appalachian State University and director of the film, presented the documentary at West Virginia University

Wednesday night. “After Coal” chronicles the deterioration of the coal industry and the subsequent empowerment of local leaders in South Wales and Appalachia to rebuild their communities. “(The decline of coal) is different for each individual, each family and each town,” Hansell said. “But economically, everyone is seeing the impact.”

Using historical footage and research, “After Coal” illustrates the extent to which communities in Appalachia and

South Wales were built around and relied heavily on the coal industry and industrialization.

No single process explains the collapse of the coal industry, Hansell said, who pointed to the three main factors—globalization, natural resource depletion and environmental regulation—as reasons for the decline.

“Steady loss of coal jobs over three decades has left these communities sparsely populated (and needing to)…reinvent themselves,” the documen-

tary described.

The film noted that the coalfields of South Wales, for example, used to be the source of the industrial revolution, employing thousands and acting as a center of communities.

Now, readjusting to community life and creating new opportunities after extensive coal industry job loss proves to be a continual challenge for residents in Appalachia and South Wales.

South Perk Market officially opens its doors

By Jordan Miller Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

South Park residents who dread the trek downtown for a cup of coffee have a closer option as of last week, called South Perk Market.

Located at 258 Kingwood St., the new café and convenience store offers a wide variety of snacks and beverages, as well as some locallysourced artisanal products.

The project has been in the works since the beginning of June, according to co-owners Adam Rosefsky and Sarah Hoblitzell, and it is finally up and running after months of anticipation from South Park residents.

“There’s a handful of regulars already that have been in every single day, and they hang out for hours and just talk with each other,” Hoblitzell said. “It’s just really nice meeting all the new people that I haven’t met in the neighborhood, ones that I wouldn’t have met (otherwise).”

The South Perk building

is one of the few listed in South Park’s National Registry of Historic Places. Seventy years ago, the building was built as a grocery store, and after it closed, a pharmacy held the space for over 50 years. It was briefly a hydroponics shop, then an office space and now, after months of closure, the space is once again open for business.

“There isn’t any place in South Park, really, to get anything…” Rosefsky said, “(Residents) have to go across the bridges into downtown to get what they need, and (this location) gives people a place to hang out in the neighborhood and keeps a nice homey feel.”

While their menu is expanding every day, they currently offer a variety of wraps and bagels. Rosefsky hopes they will soon be able to partner with other local bakeries and businesses to offer products from all over Morgantown. They plan to offer hot soup when temperatures drop and pan-

cake breakfasts on the weekends.

In addition to the house brew and of the month, South Perk serves cold press coffee, which is different from other local coffee shops. A 24-36 hour process, cold press coffee offers a much smoother and less bitter taste than a hot brew, Rosefsky said.

South Perk’s coffee beans come from a single plantation in Colombia owned by their roaster, and it takes about two months to go from vine to cup.

Regional specialty products, like Mister Bee’s potato chips, Rossi pasta, varieties of honey, worked leather, candles, pottery and ceramics line the shelves. Rosefsky said local art shows and book readings are also to come.

“We’re open to new products, so if someone has something that they want to sell, or if they have something they’d like us to carry, message us, come in and ask us. We’re flexible to carry whatever folks want,”

Rosefsky said.

N i c k Chambers, a South Park resident, was pleased with his first visit to the market, but has his reservations.

“I’m happy it’s there, I think the community benefits from having a business like that,” he said, “whether or not it’ll survive, I don’t know.”

Chambers said it seems like the store is not all there yet, however, he’s curious to see how the place will grow, especially with the addition of an espresso machine and more seating.

Because Rosefsky also owns the property adjacent to the store, the co-owner said the potential for growth is there if they have initial success.

“I don’t think there’s anything like this in Morgan-

town.

There are some coffee shops, but their markets are those people who go downtown,” Rosefsky said. “This is going to be much more neighborhood friendly, a little bit more laid back atmosphere than those places and all the comments from the folks have been ‘We need something like this, we’ve wanted something like this in South Park for so long.’”

‘Hero’ officer staged suicide, embezzled from youth program FOX LAKE, Ill. (AP)—For weeks, investigators said they were searching for the killers of a small-town police officer known as “G.I. Joe.” Thousands attended the funeral of Fox Lake Police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz.

Many lauded him as a hero, the latest law enforcer to die at a time when police feel under attack.

But after an intense and costly manhunt for three phantom suspects came up empty, investigators realized he was something else: A small-time embezzler, who meticulously staged his death to make it look like he was slain in the line of duty.

In fact, the 30-year police veteran killed himself on Sept. 1 because his theft of thousands of dollars from a youth program was about to be exposed, authorities re-

vealed Wednesday.

“Gliniewicz committed the ultimate betrayal,” announced Lake County Major Crimes Task Force Commander George Filenko, who endured blistering questions from skeptical journalists about his handling of the two-month investigation. “We completely believed from day one that this was a homicide.”

Recovered text messages and other records now show Gliniewicz embezzled from the village’s Police Explorer program for seven years, spending the money on mortgage payments, travel expenses, gym memberships, adult websites and loans to friends, Filenko said.

“We have determined this staged suicide was the end result of extensive crimi-

people—about 200—actually use the alert service now after four to five years of advertising it to the public. Councilors agreed that moving forward, marketing and advertising the service should take a high priority so the money doesn’t go to waste.

The new system will allow city officials to send out calls to everyone who signs up for the service.

“In the past, when we’ve tried to use the Nixle system, it was limited to just texting to people who signed up for an account,” Mikorski said. “Using their addresses, we could identify certain areas where we could provide notices to.”

After the system has been officially purchased, Mayor Marti Shamberger, Fifth Ward, said she would like to see the city host training sessions with local neighborhood associations, senior citizens groups, West Virginia University and large businesses, like Mylan Pharmaceuticals.

The funding will come from the City Manager’s budget for contracted services.

Continued from page 1 uting any money other than what their residents pay in county taxes, according to Mikorski.

The county’s Office of Emergency Management approached Morgantown city officials to see if the city would be interested in going in together to purchase the system.

With MECCA 911’s budget constraints, it couldn’t afford the system on its own, Mikorski said.

“For a little bit more money, we could get a very good system for any kind of situation,” he said.

Say, for instance, a road was going to be closed in the city and city officials wanted to alert residents in the neighborhood about the closure. If only the county acted as administrators for the notification system, Mikorski said it would have little incentive to alert the entire county about a problem that’s only within Morgantown city limits.

Filenko said he could not reveal more details about these crimes because “the investigation strongly suggests criminal activity on the part of at least two other individuals.”

The revelation shocked people in Fox Lake, a village of 10,000 about 50 miles north of Chicago where the 52-year-old married father of four had long been a role model.

“He was a great guy. I looked up to him. I am really upset about this. It really opens your eyes up,” said Tim Pederson, 22, who was an explorer under Gliniewicz and now works as a corrections officer.

Minutes before he died, Gliniewicz radioed that he was chasing three suspi-

Continued from page 1 Schafer’s ideas for the Office of Student Life.

“We are a large community here, so you want to be able to spend time with (the students),” Schafer said. “Our goal is not to remove students from the University, but to keep students here and help them grow personally as well as academically in terms of their education.”

This new position, created by Schafer, is part of an ongoing process that began this summer to reorganize the Office of Student Life so it can better accommodate students’ experiences at the University.

Schafer’s restructuring of the Office of Student Life is an attempt to create a more traditional dean of students role, with liaisons such as the Greek Life Director and the Director of Student Conduct reporting di-

cious men into a swampy area. Backup officers followed a trail of equipment to the Army veteran’s body, about 50 yards from his squad car.

The first bullet from his handgun had struck his cellphone and ballistic vest. The second pierced his upper chest. His head was scraped and bruised, although the coroner said that could have been intentional. The swampy terrain was otherwise undisturbed, and his gun wasn’t found for more than an hour, even though it was less than three feet from the body, Filenko said.

By then, an intense manhunt had begun and was growing quickly, with hundreds of officers searching houses, cabins and even boats on area lakes. Helicopters with heat-sensing scanrectly to the dean of students in a more structured system.

While these two new positions are set in place, Schafer said more are on the way and should be an active part of Student Life by the end of the school year.

The University is also hiring a Director of Student Engagement and Leadership, and the position “is being finalized as we speak,” according to Schafer. The position will be posted nationally within the next couple of days.

An executive director of housing and residence life is in the works, as well. Schafer said candidates are being interviewed, and two top tier individuals may be visiting the University soon.

“All of these (positions) blend together to help us create the type of student life we want for our students here,” Schafer said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

ners and K-9 units scoured the area for days. Some 50 suburban Chicago police departments and sheriff’s offices assisted, racking up more than $300,000 in overtime and other costs, according to an analysis the Daily Herald published in early October.

More than 100 investigators stayed on the case for weeks, even after questions arose. The vague description Gliniewicz had radioed in two white men and a black man - didn’t help. No one was ever arrested.

More than 100 people submitted DNA for tests that ultimately found nothing, Filenko said. Asked Wednesday whether that evidence will now be destroyed, Filenko said he didn’t know. exts and Facebook messages Gliniewicz

In February of this year, Sureshbhai Patel, a 57-year-old Indian grandfather, was tackled by a police officer after someone reported a suspicious person in their neighborhood to the police. When an officer stopped Patel during his morning walk and asked where he lived, Patel, who didn’t speak English, tried to gesture toward the other end of the neighborhood and continue walking.

However, after the officer repeatedly spoke to Patel in English and told him to not walk away, he and other officers on the scene interpreted his actions as noncompliance and forced him to the ground, leaving him partially paralyzed. A mistrial was declared in September, and a retrial was given in October but

The officer has since been fired and faces up to 10 years in prison for

his actions, but the defense attorney in the second case reportedly stated that not speaking English in this country is some-

america.aljazeera.com

one’s fault—that “Mr. Patel bears as much responsibility for (his partial paralysis) as anyone” due to his language bar-

rier, as quoted by NBC News.

The United States does not have an official language, yet is one of the most unaccomodating countries in the world in terms of offering translations of important signs and documents to foreign travelers or immigrants.

English has also been consistently rated as one of the most difficult languages to learn due to its seemingly nonsensical grammar rules and sentence structures.

Claiming a 57-year-old man is at fault for his injury because he did not learn to speak a difficult language before going on a walk through his neighborhood is ludicrous at best. However, the real issue may be much more difficult to tackle outside of

the courtroom.

The man responsible for reporting Patel as a suspicious person (who remained unidentified in media reports) described Patel as a “skinny black man” to police and said he was afraid to go to work and leave his wife at home while Patel was in the neighborhood.

More than 50 years of civil rights issues have demonstrated that quickly making assumptions about a person due to their race will never lead to positive outcomes.

Regardless of the next trial’s verdict, Patel’s story should serve as a lesson in demonstrating the misfortune that can result from holding racist beliefs. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

When does ‘eating clean’ become an eating disorder? emily torbett columnist @emilytorbsda

We’ve all seen them on Instagram, stuck in the middle of your timeline between a photo of your friend’s cat and one of your sister’s boyfriend.

They pretty much always look the same: the caption “#cleaneating” under a photo of unseasoned chicken, a few pieces of steamed broccoli and a portion of brown rice that looks like it was measured with a thimble.

If you explore the popular “clean eating” hashtag a bit further, you’re likely to come across the accounts of an army of impossibly beautiful women in their early- to mid-20’s with thousands of followers. Their timeline is composed of pictures in their bikinis at the beach or in yoga pants and a sports bra at the gym. They have flat stomachs and slim, thigh-gapped legs. Scattered among those images are photos of cleansing kale juices and spaghetti squash.

Recently, Instagram model Essena O’Neill made headlines across the country for re-posting impossibly beautiful selfies of her thin body with truthful captions. She detailed to her followers, which number nearly 580,000 the extreme fabrication behind social media modeling.

She described how photos

Orthorexia involves obsessing over eating organic and “healthy” foods to the point where it interferes with daily life. that looked candid were actually posed and heavily edited, with some taking upwards of 200 shots to perfect. She revealed exactly how much money she was paid to take them and by which companies. A single post could rake in more than $2,000.

While O’Neill was better known for hawking detox teas and dresses, the light she shed on this deceitful and relatively new modeling industry is nonetheless applicable to “clean eating” food products, such as “wholesome” ice cream and “all-natural” peanut

butter.

Growing numbers of college-aged women, desperate for similar Instagramperfect bodies, turn to eating clean. The number of Google searches for the term have increased tenfold since 2009. The premise of the diet is quite simple: don’t eat anything with ingredients you can’t pronounce. Anything with even a minor amount of obvious processing is off the table, and only foods such as meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, and those marketed as “natural” or “whole” are acceptable.

There’s nothing wrong with adopting a healthier lifestyle, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with making a conscious effort to eat better, Unfortunately, there is a fine line between a good habit and an obsession.

“It often starts from a place of good intentions— with a person maintaining a healthy lifestyle or making changes to a more healthy lifestyle,” said Ramani Durvasula, a professor of psychology at California State University at Los Angeles and a licensed clinical psychologist, in an

lucidatreatment.com

interview with Healthline.

“Over time it becomes a bit more obsessional – with a rigid focus on types of ingredients, types of foods, quantities, and times of day things should be eaten.”

The result of this food obsession is called orthorexia and is a relatively new diagnosis compared to other eating disorders. Health teachers probably never discussed it when they covered anorexia and bulimia in middle school, but its effects can be just as serious.

Any highly restrictive diet can result in malnutrition, which can lead to innumer-

able health problems.

Obviously, not every clean eater you know will have a problem. Experts say those likely to develop them are the same as those who are likely to develop the better-known classifications of eating disorders as well. According to Sondra Kronberg, director of the Eating Disorder Treatment Collaborative, issues can arise from a variety of predispositions. “In the general population, eating healthy is healthy,” she told Healthline. “In the population that is predisposed to take things to extremes, to be more addictive, to be more anxious, have low self-esteem, they are more vulnerable to having a problem.”

What makes orthorexia uniquely dangerous is its ability to masquerade as a healthy lifestyle. While sufferers often keep anorexia and bulimia as shameful secrets, orthorexia can be mistaken for a brag-worthy honor. Many take pride in their seemingly healthy choices.

While it isn’t a cure for orthorexia or the dangers of highly restrictive clean eating, being honest on social media can’t hurt. I’m not saying every social media model should give up making money, but they should at least be required by the companies to disclose sponsorship in order to protect their highly impressionable following from getting false ideas. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Beautiful cruelty: The need for more ethical practices in cosmetics testing Kaitlin licause columnist @kaitlinlicause

The ethics of animal testing have always been up for debate. For many years, the question was fairly simple: is it moral to harm an animal if it can mean saving a future human life? Many people said yes, and advances in medical research made as a result of animal experimentation are numerous enough to justify their usefulness.

However, animal cruelty can happen on a much larger scale, and often in ways we don’t expect. Many businesses to this day are still using animal testing on their products, and in no industry does it seem more unnecessary than that of the cosmetics industry.

The Humane Society of America’s 2014 Fact Sheet on animal testing provides a very clear picture of the cruelty involved in cosmetics testing, with descriptions of how animals (such as rabbits or guinea pigs) are forced to endure painful procedures for the sake of testing beauty

products. According to the sheet, some animals are given lethal doses of chemicals to test the threshold of how much the chemical would hurt a human if put into their products. These tests are often administered without anesthesia and the animals are euthanized afterwards.

Medical research saves human lives; cosmetics research, on the other hand, deals with appearances.

Testing beauty products on animals seems like an inherently vain thing to do, as sacrificing lives so that an eyeliner or face cream might be more effective in the long run serves only an aesthetic purpose.

With such great advances in medicine, psychology and other fields, we must look at advances made in the cosmetics field and realize that some cosmetic companies still choose to use these dated procedures to test their new products, even with alternate methods available.

In contrast, there are cosmetic companies who actively fight against the use of animal tests. No one is fighting them harder than Lush cosmetics, whose

public protests against animal cruelty have gone viral thanks to their honesty and brutality.

In 2012, for example, Lush sponsored a protest that put a volunteer through a 10-hour experience of enduring different types of animal tests in front of a crowd of horrified onlookers at a Lush store.

The volunteer had irritants placed in her eyes, her hair shaved off and her mouth forced open for feeding, mimicking the procedures that many animals have to endure.

Lush is one of many companies that have joined the fight against the practice of these dated processes.

Many of them make a similar argument: if we can do it, so can you. To these companies that have succeeded without the use of animal testing, other companies have no excuse. If it’s already been done, they can do it, too.

Their efforts, along with the efforts of scientists and advocates worldwide, are making active changes in the way we treat animals in the name of human progress, and currently the movement shows no signs

feelgoodstyle.com

A demonstration by Lush cosmetics revealed typical animal testing practices on a human volunteer to the public. of stopping. With animal testing officially banned in Europe as of 2013, it’s likely that with similar efforts, such a change could reach the United States within the next few years.

What can you do to make a difference now? An easy start would be to look up a list of cosmetics companies confirmed to be cruelty-free. Another option

would be to start purchasing homemade or locallymade cosmetics, as this comes with the double bonus of being both crueltyfree and supportive of independent producers. With the sheer number of companies available that have stopped testing their products on animals, it is no longer a matter of being able to find a cruelty-free beauty

supplier; now it’s simply a matter of choosing them over their competition.

There are simply no more excuses. Stopping animal testing for products that do not help us on more than a superficial level is the only ethical option, and there is no better day to start fighting than today. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineer Week features scavenger hunt Mel Smith

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The Mountaineer Week Challenge Scavenger Hunt officially got underway.

As a part of the Mountaineer Week challenge course, the committee hosted a photograph scavenger hunt in the Vandalia Lounge of the Mountainlair on Wednesday afternoon.

Teams of four met in the Vandalia Lounge to acquire their information for the afternoon. A few team names were Lair Force One, SGA and Alpha Omicron Pi. The goal of the scavenger hunt was to locate the images in the photos on the Downtown campus.

Nine teams participated in the scavenger hunt, running around the Downtown campus to find the areas they see photographed.

The areas photographed were publicly accessible exterior portions of the campus and publicly accessible portions of the interior of the Mountainlair.

The winning team of The Mountaineer Week Scavenger Hunt received a $200 cash prize as well as $200 in other prizes. Any team participating in the Mountaineer Week Challenge received 50 points for participating and the winning team received 100 points toward their ultimate sum of points.

Tommy Skinner, a first year graduate student in the MBA and MSIR programs, is a volunteer for the Mountaineer Week Scavenger Hunt. He registered teams and dispersed the materials needed for

them to compete. Skinner believes a good amount of teams showed up to participated and everyone seemed eager to get started.

“There are about 60 pictures of downtown sites that everyone is encourage to find,” Skinner said.

“We are out here to have a good time. We want these groups to go out and find some cool stuff on the Downtown campus.”

Sophomore animal and nutritional sciences student, Elisabeth Six, and junior occupational therapy student, Hayley Wise, sat in the Vandalia Lounge anxiously waiting for the rest of their group to return. The two girls gathered around the booklet of photographs, getting familiar with what they were looking for in the event.

Wise found out about the event from her mom showing her The Mountaineer Week schedule. She messaged Elisabeth and her group of friends, who agreed to come together to celebrate Mountaineer Week. Wise and Six anticipate winning the first prize.

“Honestly, I am sure there are some things we will see that we did not even know were here,” Wise said. “This makes Mountaineer Week so much more fun than in the past. This is just one of those things that gets you more in the spirit of Mountaineer Week.”

A CLASH OF CULTURES

Kristen Uppercue/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

West Virginia University was privileged to welcome the thrilling musical ‘Ragtime’ to the Creative Arts Center Wednesday night.

‘Ragtime’ debuts at the Creative Art Center on Off-Broadway tour Brittany Osteen A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Wednesday night, West Virginia University’s Creative Arts Center welcomed the musical “Ragtime” for a one-night show during its national OffBroadway tour.

“I thought the music was absolutely beautiful.

I liked how they showed compassion for people right from the beginning,” said Beth Schermerhorn, an audience member. “I liked how the mother was so compassionate about helping the baby no matter what. She didn’t give up even if she had to relocate her and her family.

She still had passion for that child.”

Throughout the show, three main character plots overlapped and entangled each other. The main characters’ stories included a new immigrant in America, an African Ameri-

can pianist and a wealthy white family.

Tateh and his daughter move to America with dreams of becoming successful. While trying to sell silhouette pictures in New York City, he finds himself being beaten down by America. On the edge of desperation, they travel to Boston. Once he found a job, poor working conditions caused him to strike.

In the mess of the Children’s Crusades, the two end up in Philadelphia where he sells his first ‘movie-book.’ That was the beginning of his success as a director and producer.

After being a travelling musician, Coalhouse Walker Jr. finally has a stable job as a pianist and is looking for his love Sarah.

He finds her working for the white family and comes to court her every Sunday. On his first visit, he finds out that he has a son. Eventually, he and Sarah fall in love. How-

ever, Walker becomes trapped with the idea of justice against racism he faced. Sarah tries to plea to the President to help Walker, but in a misfortunate event ends up being killed. Walker becomes struck with the idea of revenge. In a plan to blow up The Morgan Library, he was promised a fair trial to surrender peacefully, only to be killed as soon as he walked out the door.

While her husband was travelling, the wealthy mother finds Sarah’s baby left in the garden. She takes both of them in and cares for them. She and her son meet Tateh and his daughter in the train station and again when he becomes successful.

The show remained lighthearted with its juxtaposition of witty comments and humorous songs within the dark, emotional content.

“I really liked that Sarah, while walking across the

stage with her melody, was the reason that he remembered who he really is,” said Ashley Koon, senior BFA theatre and acting student.

“You see on the news everyday these conflicts.

Something as simple as vandalism you still see today. Racism and hatred and people being treated differently because of the color of their skin are such present day problems. I think that is what makes this musical one of the best written within the past 50 years because it is so relatable.”

With a standing ovation, the people in the audience left the show still humming, whistling and singing some of the catchy songs within the show.

Historic Walking Tour of Downtown Morgantown educates guests Ally Litten

A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

With the colorful leaves and warm weather, yesterday was the perfect day for a Historic Walking Tour of Downtown Morgantown. \ Starting at Woodburn Circle, Christy Venham, a West Virginia University Library employee, lead a small group of history nuts around Downtown Morgantown.

Discussing the rich history of Morgantown and WVU, Venham stopped to point out Martin Hall and Woodburn Hall. Many people assume Woodburn was the first building on campus but actually Martin Hall was the first building. Woodburn and Chitwood quickly followed. In fact, the clock on Woodburn Hall used to be on the top of Martin.

Venham then drew attention to Oglebay Hall. Although this building is not

as old as Martin and Woodburn, it has a very important piece of history in front of it. If anyone has ever taken the time to look at Oglebay straight on, they would notice that the land in front of the building is rectangular and has two large poles in front of it. These poles are actually masts that were salvaged from the USS West Virginia, which was destroyed in the Pearl Harbor attacks.

Continuing through campus, the next area of interest was E. Moore Hall. Elizabeth Moore did not attend WVU, but she did help save it. During the Civil War, Confederate troops under the command of William Wilson came to Morgantown to burn down the University. Elizabeth Moore could not let this happen so she cooked the troops a good meal and convinced them to leave the school alone. Ironically, after the war, William Wilson came back to Mor-

gantown as the President of WVU. Another building that goes unnoticed is White Hall. Although it is not one of the original buildings, it is named after a very important person and has a famous mural inside. Where White Hall stands is the former site of Israel Charles White’s home.

After finding a very precise way to find natural resources, White was very well known in the Morgantown community. After he died, his house was eventually bulldozed and White Hall was constructed in his honor. Inside the hall is a mural representing the industrial area that White lived through. In later years, filmmakers recreated this mural in a scene of Spiderman 2.

Venham then led the group to High Street. Stopping in front of Pita Pit, Venham shared the story behind the towering building. The

building itself once stood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

However, workmen took the building apart, put it on a barge and sent it to Morgantown to become the city’s first skyscraper.

Another interesting story was about City Hall. Although the building is now used as town offices, it was once the Morgantown Fire Department. When taking the time to look at the building, one will notice the letters FD above the old garage door that is now a window.

“Well, having grown up here, I thought it was interesting to see all the history behind the buildings,” said Keith Goodwin, a Walking Tour participant. “You get so busy in lifestyle that you’re never downtown doing stuff. And actually I’ve been taking the time to be downtown and walking downtown to discover stuff.”

Celebrating the ‘fifth of November’ with some Guy Fawkes history Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @westleyT93

“Remember, remember!

The fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot!”

This popular rhyme of English origin is most famous in America for its inclusion in the 1988 graphic novel “V for Vendetta” and the 2006 movie of the same name.

The rhyme tells the story of Guy Fawkes and his part in the failed gunpowder revolution of Nov. 5, 1605. The rhyme continues for many lines, and due to its age, many variations exist.

Guy Fawkes was a welleducated, Catholic Englishman. As an adult he traveled to continental Europe to fight for Catholic Spain in

DA

the Eighty Years War. He was described by his contemporaries as a powerfully built, loyal, pious and intelligent man.

Upon returning to England, Fawkes became involved in a plot to kill King James, a Protestant. King James’ stance on religion was tolerant for the time period.

Early in his rule, King James declared rather than execute Catholics, he would prefer to just exile them. Thirteen conspirators, Fawkes being one of them, believed that the King was losing his religious tolerance, so they plotted to assassinate King James and install his 11-year-old daughter Elizabeth as a Catholic monarch.

The conspirators’ plan was to detonate more than 30 barrels of gunpowder they had hidden under the parliament building. They hoped the ex-

plosion would kill King James and a large portion of the Protestant-held parliament.

Unfortunately for the conspirators, their plot was discovered due to an anonymous letter. Fawkes was found under the parliament building guarding the gunpowder barrels. He was subsequently arrested, tortured and killed.

In the centuries since his execution Guy Fawkes has developed into a folk hero of sorts. Depending on the politics of the time, Nov. 5 was celebrated as either Guy Fawkes Day, in honor of the would-be revolutionary, or Bonfire Night, to celebrate the foiling of the plot. At the turn of the twentieth century Fawkes became an action hero in penny dreadfuls, wildly popular, sensationalist serial stories that cost only a

penny to purchase.

It wasn’t until writer Alan Moore’s “V for Vendetta” that Guy Fawkes became a popular name in American pop-culture.

V, the protagonist of “Vendetta,” wore a Guy Fawkes mask as part of his costume, and would recite lines from the historic rhyme. V fights for anarchy against a fascistruled England. This conflict was at the center of the story.

V’s status as a hero was ambiguous in the graphic novel.

Although V fought against a brutal police state, his tactics were nothing short of terrorism. Characters on both sides of the fight were forced to question if the atrocities they were committing were worth the end goal.

Although the graphic novel was quite popular, “V for Vendetta” really exploded into the public con-

sciousness with the release of the 2006 movie adaptation.

The movie differed from the graphic novel in a few ways regarding time period and certain events. Additionally, much to the plight of Moore, V was depicted as more clearly the hero and less morally ambiguous.

V’s Guy Fawkes mask has become a global symbol for revolution and can be seen in protests across the world.

In the 2011 Egyptian Revolution “V for Vendetta” was an inspiration for many of the young protestors, and the mask could be seen in the crowds.

The mask was also a common sight at the Occupy Wall Street protests. Anonymous, an internet-based hacktivist group, has adopted the mask as their symbol. Anonymous’s most recent act has been the Nov. 2, 2015 re-

lease of information on several alleged KKK members, some of whom are U.S. politicians. However, the operation’s official twitter account announced on the same day that the released names and numbers were fake and done by someone else, and that they would release the real information on Nov. 5.

Guy Fawkes and the “fifth of November” have changed a lot in 400 years, from religion-fueled conspiracy, to pop-culture icons, to “a common brand and convenient placard to use in protest against Tyranny” to borrow the words of “Vendetta” artist David Lloyd.

There is a lot of history behind the rhyme and the mask, and thanks to its iconic status, there will be a lot more history to come. wethompson@mail.wvu.edu

Rock ‘n’ roll legend Leon Russell makes Mainstage debut

CLASSIFIEDS | 5

Chelsea walker A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

Music’s most multifaceted, rock ‘n’ roll legend Leon Russell will take the stage at Morgantown’s newest downtown concert venue Mainstage Morgantown.

Russell’s star-studded career began at the age of 15, when the young star would stand front and center on stages in the nightclubs of Tulsa, Oklahoma among peers of his band, The Starlighters. Made up of J.J. Cale, Leo Feathers, Chuck Blackwell and Johnny Williams, the group is known for combining genres of rock, country and blues. Originally known as the “Tulsa Sound,” Russell’s appreciation for the unique mix of sounds allowed him to eventually become the first artist to take the “Tulsa Sound” to Los Angeles.

Leaving the small confines of Tulsa, Russell took his talents to Los Angeles to learn more about the guitar, in an attempt to break into the industry. Playing as a solo musician, Russell crossed paths with artists from Barbra Streisand, Elton John, Frank Sinatra and The Rolling Stones.

Russell is also known for his gospel infused piano infusion on Bob Dylan’s famous tracks “When I Paint My Masterpiece” and “Watching the River Flow.”

Russell’s track history is filled with Billboard chart toppers, backing many large artists on many of their most notable tracks. Outside of having collaborated with prominent musicians in the industry, Russell’s solo career is just as impressive, with more than 30 studio-recorded albums released from 1968 to 2014. With an iconic image, Russell’s long hair and eclectic wardrobe allowed the musician to stand out from others in the industry. In an interview with Rolling Stone, the artist stated his style symbolizes his history in the industry.

“I’m into symbolism, the long hair is symbolism, and the distance between me and the audience sometimes affects what I’m going to wear,” Russell said.

“It’s kind of like the songs, nothing specific, it just is what it is.”

Russell’s career in the industry has been littered with successes, awards and recognitions. The artist is also known for his companionship and mentor-like relationship with English composer and songwriter Elton John. As John’s musical hero, Russell and John released an album in 2010 titled, “The Union.”

The 16-track album featured collaborations with John and Russell, as well as appearances by guitarist T Bone Burnett, producer James Timothy Shaw and poet, lyricist Bernie Taupin.

“The Union” even included famed singer, songwriter Neil Young, who appeared in back-up vocals. When John and Russell took the stage at the Beacon Theatre on Broadway in the heart of New York City, the English singer took the stage to speak on behalf of his admiration for the legendary musician.

“When I started he was my idol, mentor, and everything I wanted to be as a songwriter.

Tonight is very special for me.”

As the two famed musicians continued to play through their two-hour long set to the sold out crowd, the two artists exchanged stage time, playing together and solo equally.

Continuing his career, Russell’s appearance at Mainstage Morgantown will be one filled with a mix of songs from the past and present.

STILL SAFE

West Virginia needs a little help to keep season alive

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS WRITER @dAILYATHENAEUM

Heading into the final contest of the regular season, the West Virginia University men’s soccer team needs a victory to qualify for the Mid-American Conference Tournament.

And a bit of help.

After three straight conference losses, the Mountaineers are sitting at 1-3 in conference play heading into Friday night’s matchup with Northern Illinois.

With only three conference standings points coming from the one victory, they’ll need everything they can.

Bowling Green either needs to lose or draw to No. 6 Akron on Saturday evening, but that must be complemented by a WVU victory on Friday. A loss means that the Mountaineers’ season is over, failing to qualify for the tournament for the first time since joining the MAC in 2012.

WVU currently sits at the bottom of the MAC barrel, tied with Bowling Green for last place. Both teams sit behind the fourth spot, and only the top four teams qualify for the postseason.

The Mountaineers are currently one point back of Northern Illinois for the fourth and final spot, providing a gauntlet Friday evening that determines which team’s season will extend at least another game.

That’s what November comes down to.

Both teams enter with a lone conference victory.

WVU beat Western Michigan, 1-0, in the MAC opener and Northern Illinois defeated Bowling Green in overtime.

Tuesday’s 3-2 double overtime loss to Penn showcased why WVU is in this situation. Missed opportunities, unfortunate bounces and strings of bad luck have pinned it in a do-

or-die situation Friday.

30 shots, two goals. Those are the numbers WVU put up against Penn, cruising past its previous seasonhigh for shots in a game.

Once again, it was the inability to capitalize that ultimately cost it on numerous occasions. “ Wo u l d a , coulda, shoulda, like I said,” said WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “We’ve had this conversation a number of times. It’s the story of our year.”

A red card versus Georgetown, overtime losses to Michigan State, Princeton and Penn, and a missed call at Buffalo. That’s what the season has boiled down to.

Now it’s up to Friday.

Northern Illinois is vying for the final spot in the MAC Playoffs as well.

Sitting at 1-2-1 in the conference, its four points place it in fourth place and the last position for the tournament.

A loss sends NIU out.

A win sends it in. A loss to WVU likely places the Mountaineers in, with regular season champion Akron favored to beat Bowling Green in the finale on Saturday.

Tuesday’s loss against Penn was deemed a tuneup for WVU, who rested their regular starters for the first 70 minutes. Now it’s all about Nov. 6, a day that determines the fate of its season.

“The game that is on our minds is Friday night, because that’s the one that really matters at this stage,” LeBlanc said. “At the end of the day, we wanted to make sure we were ready for Friday night.”

Now the Mountaineers must survive and advance.

It’s become their version of March Madness.

Except it’s making its appearance in early November. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia goalkeeper Hannah Steadman barks out commands against Kansas last month.

WVU kicks off Big 12 Tournament with 2-1 win

BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia University women’s soccer team started off the Big 12 postseason the same way they ended the regular season, with a win over Oklahoma State (9-9-2, 2-4-2). The No. 2 Mountaineers (16-1-1, 6-0-1) kicked off the Big 12 Tournament with a 2-1 win over the Cowgirls Wednesday afternoon in Kansas City, Missouri.

While the 2-1 finish was the result the Mountaineers wanted, it didn’t come as easily as they might have hoped. More than two weeks after the Big 12 Conference’s lowest seed took West Virginia to overtime before falling 2-1 to the nation’s second-ranked team, the Cowgirls were able to hold the fourth-ranked offense in the country without a goal for over 80 minutes.

OSU nearly got on the board first, when Madison Mercado was granted a penalty kick in the 70th minute. Senior goaltender Hannah Steadman, who now holds the WVU program record for goals-allowed average, was able to get a hand on it and make the save to keep the score tied at zero.

“Hannah got a great touch on it, and it was definitely a wild end. I’m just proud of Hannah for keeping us in the game,” said head coach Nikki IzzoBrown in an interview with the Big 12 Digital Network.

Finally, just as the clock crept inside the 10-minute mark, the Cowgirls presented WVU with an opportunity with sloppy play in the attacking zone, giving possession to the Mountaineers following a yellow card to West Virginia freshman defender Easther Maya Kith. The Mountaineers advanced the ball forward, but lost

possession inside the box.

OSU defender Natalie Calhoun tried to clear the ball, but her attempt went directly to WVU’s Amandine Pierre-Louis, who had to dribble just several feet to find an opening. Pierre-Louis fired a shot from just outside the box that found the back of the net, skimming the top of outstretched goalie Michela Ongaro’s hands to give West Virginia a 1-0 lead in the 81st minute.

Less than two minutes later, midfielder Amanda Hill carried the ball unmarked up the field. As she reached the top of the box, she spun around a Cowgirl defender and fired a shot nearly identical to that of Pierre-Louis. The shot found the inside of the left post, giving the Mountaineers a two-goal safety net.

When it appeared the Mountaineers had to run out the clock, Pierre-Louis ran into Oklahoma State’s Allie Stephenson on a free

kick, awarding her a penalty kick. She netted the penalty kick to bring the deficit back within a single goal with just six minutes remaining.

The West Virginia offense was unable to gain possession for much of the end of the game. The final six minutes featured the nation’s second-best defense fighting off lastminute efforts from the Cowgirl offense. The late goal broke the shutout, which would have been the Mountaineers’ 14th of the year, tying the program record set last year.

The Mountaineers were able to gather the ball in the final seconds, running out the clock to cap off the first round victory. The Mountaineers will go on to play the winner of Wednesday night’s matchup between No. 4 Oklahoma vs. No. 5 Texas Tech. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU hopes to exploit struggling Texas Tech defense

BY DJ DESKINS

SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia University football team’s offense has struggled to keep pace offensively with its Big 12 opponents, starting 0-4 in conference play.

One possible reason for its hardship is because of the defenses it has faced.

Oklahoma is the only top 25 FBS defense in the Big 12, allowing 321 yards a contest to its opponents. Although Baylor, TCU and Oklahoma State are statistically average, they fill out the top four

defenses in the conference.

West Virginia recorded over 40 points in its first three games, proving the offense is capable of putting up points. However, it’s failed to do that since and only managed 10 against TCU, its lowest total since getting shut out by Maryland in 2013.

That could change this weekend against Texas Tech, whose defense ranks among the nation’s worst.

Out of 128 FBS teams, the Red Raiders rank 125th in run defense, 122nd in pass defense and 127th overall.

Yards are one thing, but

it’s not been able to protect its end zone, ranking 123rd in points allowed per game with 43.4 points.

West Virginia barely breaks into the top 100 on defense despite once being pegged as one of the nation’s top units, but still ranks significantly better than Texas Tech. However, the Raiders offense currently ranks third in the country, while West Virginia comes in at 30th.

The Mountaineer offense could look a lot different, but wide receiver play has taken a hit lately with a number of drops on passes from Skyler Howard.

“The week of practice that we had prior to the last game was great, and I would say out of the four to five days leading up to the game there was maybe three or four balls on the ground,” said wide receiver coach Lonnie Galloway. “It was shocking, and we didn’t expect it to happen, but we have to move on.”

Mistakes are made, but West Virginia’s mistakes have come at big moments, which surely hurts morale.

“I just tell them to shake it off. You have to keep your head up, because the ball is going to find its way back

to you,” senior receiver Jordan said Thompson. “If you have your head down, you are going to mess up again.

You have to keep your head up, and when the opportunity strikes you have to take advantage of it.” “(Head coach Dana) Holgorsen is doing a great job of keeping everybody’s morale up,” Galloway said. “Right now, the biggest thing for us is to take care of winning one game at a time.”

WVU doesn’t expect a shootout against Texas Tech, but it’s hard to think that these caliber of offenses won’t put up points against

the struggling defenses of these two programs.

“We don’t expect a shootout, because we have faith in our defense,” Thompson said. “We know they’re going to score points. Texas Tech has one of the greatest offenses in the league right now. We know that we’re going to have to score points on offense, because they’re going to score points.”

The difference will come from whose defense will play better and make more stops, because the offense will surely be there. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

RIFLE

Senior Spurgeon has become WVU’s Mr. Reliable

BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

On a team with 18 national championships, it can be hard to do something that truly stands out.

However, senior captain Garrett Spurgeon continually performs on a level that is worth recognition.

Likely the most acclaimed member of the West Virginia University rifle team, Spurgeon has been a major part of the team’s three consecutive national championships since joining the team.

The Canton, Missouri native has risen to become one of the top collegiate shooters in the nation. In a sport that relies on accuracy and precision, nobody is more reliable than Spurgeon.

Even this weekend, when the team shot a season-low 4,693 over No. 9 Memphis, Spurgeon still

came through to shoot a 583 (out of 600). While a 583 is low for Spurgeon, it was the third-highest of the match.

In fact, Spurgeon can consistently be relied upon to shoot a near-perfect score.

Through the first four matches, all of which were wins for the No. 1 Mountaineers, Spurgeon is averaging a 593.25.

Freshman Ginny Thrasher is also averaging a 593.25 to tie for the team’s lead. Spurgeon’s 596 in air rifle on Sunday at No. 16 Ole Miss was a point short of a career best, just four points from perfection.

Combining his first, career airborne score of 590 for a final aggregate score of 1,186, Spurgeon boasts a remarkable career best.

“For Garrett to come back and shoot a seasonbest air rifle match right

after his smallbore performance was something really special,” said head coach Jon Hammond in an interview with WVUsports.com. “Shooting 590 is a great achievement.

It’s something (Spurgeon) wanted to do for a very long time. For him to break that 590 barrier was really meaningful to him.”

Spurgeon’s list of accomplishments is far too long to name. His scores have played enormous parts in West Virginia’s last three national championship matches.

He was a member of the United States National Juniors team and placed highly in the individual national championships.

In high school, he was a Junior Olympic qualifier and a national champion.

Most impressively, Spurgeon is a two-time air rifle All-American and three-time smallbore

All-American.

He finished in the top three for air rifle and smallbore at the NCAA Championships last year, paving the way for a fourth-straight national championship.

Spurgeon has accomplished all of his athletic feats while still maintaining his grades. He is a member of the dean’s list and Garrett Ford academic honor roll, studying civil engineering.

Spurgeon will surely be a key member of the team for a fourth and final year and be a large part of the Mountaineers’ effort for a fourth-straight national championship.

If he can do so, Spurgeon and fellow seniors Michael Bamsey and Meelis Kiisk will be able to boast a national championship every year of their West Virginia career. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

ROWING

Novice, varsity rowers strive to compete in Big 12

BY VINCE GAUDIO

SPORTS CORRESPONDENT @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia University rowing team has never really experienced the spotlight around the campus of WVU. Although it has been competitive in the tough Big 12 Conference, where it has been making noise all throughout the spring and fall season, it has gone mostly without notice.

The reason for the team going unnoticed is a high percentage of students on the campus are uneducated in the sport of rowing. The more popular sports such as football and basketball sometimes overshadow the hard work the rowing team goes through.

For those who do not know how the sport of

rowing works, it is fairly simple. WVU separates the women who participate into two groups: novice and varsity.

The varsity team is selected for whom coaches believe have the most experience and skills to make an impact in the Big 12 Conference.

The novice team consists of younger, less experienced members who participate in enough events to help benefit their team and lead them down the right path for years to come.

Jimmy King, who is in his ninth season as head coach, strives for both teams to get better during every practice and regatta. With over 30 members on the team, they are of one of the largest rosters among competitive sports in Morgantown.

Most of the power creBesides the hard work ated by a rower to pro- that is put in, teamwork

is the main focus for success. For this Mountaineer team, teamwork is very important.

“I believe there is a common respect we all share for one another,” said se-

nior rower Elizabeth Kantak. “Plus, we all share one common goal: to make the team fast. When we focus on what we can do rather than what we can’t do, we have the potential to accomplish quite a lot.”

Through the teamwork and hardship these girls go through day in and day out, WVU rowers strive to make a splash in the Big 12 Conference and to get noticed for their work on campus.

The novice team will take what they learned in the offseason and from the experience they picked up from the varsity squad to compete in the last regatta of the fall season.

The West Virginia volleyball team is back on the road and traveling south to play the Texas Longhorns.

The Mountaineers are stuck in a losing streak, dropping the past 10 games. Their most recent loss was against Kansas State in a 3-0 shutout.

The set scores for this match were 25-17, 25-20 and 25-22.

That game put them 5-16 for the season, and 0-8 in conference play.

WVU was led by junior Dzeni Hadzisehovic, who posted a team-high 11 kills.

Sophomore outside hitter Morgan Montgomery followed with nine. Sophomore libero Gianna Gotterba led the Mountaineer defense, getting 18 digs, which was the most for both teams.

The Longhorns are having a great season, holding an overall record of 19-2 for this season, 9-1 in confer-

ence play.

Texas is coming into this game coming off of a 3-0 win over Texas Tech, with set scores of 25-19, 25-18, 25-19.

Senior outside hitter Amy Neal led the Longhorns with a game-high 13 kills. Junior outside hitter Paulina Prieto Cerame followed closely behind with 12, and junior middle blocker Chiaka Ogbogu chipped in with nine.

Their defense was led by sophomore libero Cat McCoy, who had 12 digs, which was also a match-high for the Longhorns that night. Neal contributed to the defense as well with eight digs. Senior libero Kat Brooks and junior setter Chloe Collins both managed six digs each.

This match will be the second time these two teams have come together this season.

The first time they met marked the first Big 12 match for the year, and Texas blew West Virginia out of the water. The Longhorns won 3-0,

with the set scores of 25-16, 25-17 and 25-16.

Montgomery led WVU with 12 kills, and freshman outside hitter Bridgett Talia followed behind her with seven herself. Senior setter Brittany Sample led the defense with 10 digs. She also assisted 23 of the team’s kills, marking her third double-double.

Texas was led by Neal, who contributed 11 kills to the team. McCoy was the team’s leader in defense, getting 16 digs, which was the highest of both teams that match.

“It was good to play Texas,” said WVU head coach Reed Sunahara in an interview with WVUsports.com.

“The question is did we compare our team well enough to compete tonight or are we doing the right things?”
