Annual WV Tattoo Expo bonds community and art BY LENA CAMILLETTI CITY EDITOR
Before I walked into the room, I could smell the smell every tattoo lover knows so well—a potent sterile air. The buzz of tattooing needles sounded as more than 160 artists traveled not only from across the state, but the country, to be part of the 4th Annual West Virginia Tattoo Expo, and to share their love for body art. Held at the Waterfront Place Hotel this past weekend, artists offered on-site tattooing and piercing, a variety of creative styles in their look-books and a personal story that landed them in the tattoo world. ARodimus Prime, the upstate New Yorker who did my tattoo Saturday afternoon, was attending the event for the second time.
“We came last year and hit it off. The people around here are really kind—I love the atmosphere, so we planned on doing it again,” he said. I was just one of his 15 canvases at the Expo. While Prime has been professionally tattooing for nearly seven years, his interest in the art dates back to when he was in elementary school. “I actually got in trouble for drawing on other students in class—they were coming home and their parents were getting pissed that they were covered in marker tattoos,” he reminisced. “I got called to the principal’s office and was told to stop that.” Hundreds of guests roamed the room—people of all ages. Some artists provided a
select set of art they were willing to do, while others wanted to sit down with each client and experience the creative process together. The beauty of the event was the togetherness it allowed for the community
able for purchase. It was a place where artists and vendors could learn from one another. Founder and director of the Expo, Rocco Cunningham, sat down with me to talk about what encouraged

him to plan the event. Attending tattoo conventions across the country, he would proudly say he was a WV native, but always heard the same reaction.
“I got really tired of hearing, ‘Well there’s not a convention there, is there?’” Eventually, Cunningham came home from a convention, determined to organize a proper tattoo expo, and four years later, he has built the event from the ground up. Cunningham has been a professional tattoo artist for almost 14 years, and you can see in his eyes how grateful he is for the creativity he is able to express through tattooing. “From the consultation, to designing the tattoo, to applying it,” he said. “Getting to meet so many cool and interesting people along the way is the best part of the process. It’s euphoric for me, and I get lost in it.” As the event has evolved year to year, Cunningham is pleased with what it is today,
especially what it means to the community. “It’s really about art, culture and education, because this is a platform that we can show everyone what proper tattooing is about,” he said. Team tatted or not, the West Virginia Tattoo Expo was a special event, bonding the community with modern art.

Husband surprises wife with vow renewal at annual Tattoo Expo BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD CORRESPONDENT
Love is all Fuz and Nane Wagle could think about while celebrating their ten-year wedding anniversary at the 4th Annual West Virginia Tattoo Exposition. Fuz, a tattoo artist from True Image Tattoo Studio in Pittsburgh, proposed to his wife for the second time in front of several hundred people at the event Saturday.
“He told me something was going on, because he knew I wouldn’t go up on stage otherwise. He took me by complete surprise,” Nane said, reminiscing on their joyful moment together. “He says he’s not a romantic, but that was a total hopeless romantic move.” The couple celebrated their last four anniversaries at the Expo, and each time Wagle sits by her husband’s side while he tattoos multiple people
throughout the day. Every year, it has been the same—until this year. Rocco Cunningham, the Expo founder and good friend of Fuz, called the couple up to the stage. As they went up, a crowd of artists walking by formed a circle around the stage. Cunningham announced the couple, while onlookers and friends were snagging pictures and videos. As Fuz leaned down on one knee, Nane gasped and could not con-
trol her smile from extending across her face. The bride was brought a veil and bouquet of white flowers, while the officiate started to recite their vows. They shared a kiss as the crowd erupted with cheers of excitement. Walking off the stage they hugged every friend and loved one around them. After the short celebration, Fuz went right back to work with his happy bride right next to his side.

Rec parking fee sparks petition BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD CORRESPONDENT
A petition circulating on social media “Fight for free parking at the WVU Recreation Center” had more than 3,000 supporters Sunday evening. The petition is in reaction to West Virginia University’s decision to charge Rec Center users to park. “This new charge will most likely reduce the amount of patrons that use the gym during the day which may negatively impact group fitness classes during those times,” according to the petition sponsored by a group identifying itself as West Virginia University Community and Supporters. “In addition to this obstacle, the University promotes health and wellness, but we see that WVU is making it harder to access a healthy lifestyle.” The Rec Center announced this change as
effective the first day of classes, Aug. 17. “The change in this and other lots are part of the master plan for campus with an intention of best serving all users and shifting away from parking linked to specific buildings,” according to the announcement. “We know this will be a large change for many of our users.” “Honestly, I’m thinking about getting a membership somewhere else”
“The change in this and other lots are part of the master plan for campus with an intention of best serving all users and shifting away from parking linked to specific buildings.” Caitlin Morrow, a sophomore at WVU, exercises at the Rec every day after class. “Honestly, I’m thinking about getting a member-
ship somewhere else because I want to come after class,” Morrow said. “And it’s not really worth it. I think the system last year worked fine.” F re s h ma n Collyn Schaad, did not know about the change. “It’s kind of ridiculous, honestly. I wouldn’t come here as much,” Schaad said. “I would maybe come once a week.” The fee change also affects Rec Center employees. Student employee Khaliah James works the front desk at the Rec center. “Free parking is just not a thing anymore. It’s being taken out of my paycheck, but it is what it is,” James said. To park in the Student Rec parking lot, students and employees will pay a fee of $1.25 per hour Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Parking will remain free for the current time at the Coliseum.

English 101 Course Survival Guide BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR
English 101 is one of the most terrifying courses for WVU students. They face more than a half-dozen multi-page assignments and are introduced to an array of unfamiliar writing styles. The DA asked WVU English professor Emily Denton to crack the course, and offer some tips to help students. Don’t worry “I think there’s a lot of fear that this is a class that many students fail. And I think it is really difficult to fail 101 or 102; you have to really try. You have to write papers that are like scribbled on cocktail napkins or something. And the department makes it really easy or sets up this kind of system
for students to succeed. One of the best advantages this class has as opposed to chemistry or math is the ability to revise your papers, and have your grade essentially replaced. I find that students don’t take advantage of that enough, because essentially 70 percent of your grade is out until the very end, which is a huge amount.” Participate “Participation is 10 percent which can be the difference between an A and a B. For me, as a professor, participation is huge. Because class is unbearable— we all have to be there for 50 minutes—and it can be as difficult and miserable as students make it. The more they participate the better it is for me, for purely selfish reasons, but also because it
helps their grade. “Sitting in class quietly and never opening your mouth—that’s gonna hurt you more than help you.” Revise (don’t just edit) “I think sometimes students come in with a skewed idea of what editing means. We say that ‘Yes you can revise these papers and turn them in for a different grade,’ and too often students will look at my comments, change a few words here and there, move some commas around and think they’ve revised the paper. That essentially is surface editing. I think what students don’t realize is sometimes papers need to be entirely reworked; Paragraphs need to be moved, entire sections need to be written. So revision is so much more than editing.”
Stretch yourself “I think part of this course is to kind of stretch students’ comfort zones, not just in what you’re talking about but what you’re writing about. Also, I get a lot of plagiarized papers. Don’t plagiarize. That is the worst thing any student can do.” Apply what you’ve learned “This course is about obtaining transferable skills, ‘How can I use this to write a better lab report, or how can I use this to email someone about job opportunities. How can I use this to email my parents and let them know I’m actually learning, and not sound like I’m drunk.’ “All of these things can be helped.”
Emily Denton is a fourth-year English professor at West Virginia University.

Pokemon Go takes gamers on outdoor adventure RHETT ZILLINGER ASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR
The 90s are back again, with a 2016 catch. Pokemon Go has brought back sweet memories for millions, as gamers explore their communities—including the West Virginia University campus—for Pokemon. One month ago the mobile gaming app Pokémon-Go, from Niantic, launched in the U.S., and then globally a few weeks later. The game quickly grew into a global phenomenon, breaking the record for most downloads during launch week in the Apple app store, and being down-
loaded more than 100 million times internationally in the Google Play Store. Gameplay in the app consists of a mix of augmented reality, collecting and leveling up an avatar the user creates. It uses the player’s current geographical location to display where the user is in real time. Displayed on the map includes pokestops, gyms and wild Pokémon that appear for players to catch. Cities across the nation have seen a massive change in foot traffic and public behavior due to the game’s popularity, ranging from local businesses creating discounts for players of
the game, to the city itself becoming a virtual map for catching Pokémon in the real world. Morgantown has been no different, with the University campus and downtown transforming into a virtual playground littered with pokestops and gyms. The pokestops on the downtown campus alone number more than 20, with almost every hall including one and possibly more, from Clark Hall to the Life Sciences Building, to even the Bell of the USS West Virginia located in the center of campus. Woodburn circle has two pokestops itself. So where is the best place to capture these vir-
tual creatures? “The most common one is the library—which is a pokestop—and the bus stop area right next to it is a gym,” said Brandon Burn, a Computer Science student and avid Pokémon Go player. Downtown Morgantown is also home to many pokestops, at locations such as the Blue Moose Café, the Morgantown Farmers Market, and one at almost every single church in the area. There are also three gyms downtown, which is for when a player of the game reaches level 5 and can battle against other players, located at the Aull Center, Wise Library and Mountain
Line Bus Terminal. The first week of classes will include plenty of new changes never seen in years before at WVU, as well as a campus full of new and returning students roaming
to find the correct classroom, the cheapest bookstore, the most delicious place to eat and for the first time, the best places to catch Pokémon between classes.

Women’s Soccer tops Buffalo, Izzo-Brown notches 300th win NEEL MADHAVEN SPORTS WRITER
The West Virginia women’s soccer team weathered wet and windy conditions to record its first win of the 2016 season with a comfortable 2-0 win over Buffalo (0-2-0) on Sunday at Penn State’s Jeffrey Field as part of the Penn State Invitational. The win marked a career milestone for Izzo-Brown as she recorded her 300th win as a head coach. “That was an ugly win, but we put two in the back of the net,” Izzo-Brown said in an interview with http:// WVUSports.com. “We’re coming off a very emotional game Friday night, and it was tough to get our legs going. I was happy that we were able to get out and find a way. Buffalo did a
good job of getting a ton of numbers behind the ball, so it was tough to get a good look at the net.” The result was never in doubt as the No. 5 ranked Mountaineers (1-0-1) controlled play from the first whistle. Statistics show how dominant West Virginia was in possession in the early going and throughout the match, taking a 26-3 edge in shots, and taking 12 corner kicks to Buffalo’s one. The Mountaineers utilized their traditional 4-3-3 formation to great effect, wreaking havoc down the wings. The 4-3-3 allowed width and spacing for WVU, which presented a lot of problems defensively for Buffalo. Freshman goalkeeper Rylee Foster was never really tested in goal as Buffalo only recorded three shots
the whole match, with only one on target. West Virginia got on the board in the 22nd minute thanks to a lob ball over the top of the defense from junior Amandine PierreLouis, which was mishandled in the penalty box by Buffalo goalkeeper Laura Dougall. The loose ball was eventually scored by junior Heather Kaleiohi, marking her first goal of the season. Throughout the course of the match, West Virginia controlled play in the middle of the pitch, quickly pressing and breaking up play whenever Buffalo tried to maintain possession. For the Mountaineers’ second goal, sophomore Sh’Nia Gordon bolted down the right wing and launched a well-timed cross that was headed home in the 68th minute by sophomore Grace Cut-

Three of the West Virginia defenders, sophomore Bianca St. Georges, senior Carly Black and sophomore Easther Mayi Kith, were the only Mountaineers to play all 90 minutes.
Buffalo finally started to threaten the Mountaineers’ goal in the final minutes of the second half, but despite one close chance that required a low save from junior substitute goalkeeper Michelle Newhouse, the Bulls were unable to get on
the board. West Virginia will return to the friendly confines of Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium as it hosts No. 14 Clemson for the 2016 season home opener at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 26.

Jaysean Paige attacks the rim in last season’s 80-69 win over Baylor.
Former WVU guard Jaysean Paige is now the second player from last year’s team to sign a professional deal overseas, according to http://eurobasket.com. Paige inked a contract last week with the Oet-
tinger Rockets Gotha basketball team in Germany’s ProA League, joining former Mountaineer big man Devin Williams to continue his career on the court. Paige was named the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year last season, averaging 13.7 points and 1.5 steals, while shooting 46 percent from the field. His
energy off the bench helped the Mountaineers form one of the deepest teams in the nation, including a backup unit that helped contribute to one of WVU’s best regular seasons ever. The Mountaineers went 26-9 overall and 13-5 in the Big 12, notching their first second place finish since
joining the conference in 2012. The team also advanced to its first Big 12 Championship before falling to Kansas. It appears Paige will take on a similar role with the Oettinger Rockets franchise when the season begins. He’s currently listed as a reserve, playing behind guards Max DiLeo and Grant Gibbs.

Chris Chugunov and William Crest Jr. are battling for the backup quarterback job, and both bring different skillsets to the table. Chugunov does most of his damage in the pocket, rarely using his legs to move the ball downfield. Instead, it’s all about the redshirt freshman’s arm strength that’s caught the coach’s eyes throughout fall camp. “(Chris) Chugs (Chugunov) probably has the best arm of everybody,” Holgorsen said. Crest does everything far different than Chugunov, often using his gifted athletic abilities to gain extra yards and keep the offense in motion. He’s one of the most versatile players on the roster, making it hard to keep him off the field. Holgorsen occasionally lined him up at receiver last year. He’s run more read-option plays at quarterback when Crest is the signal-caller, utilizing his dual-threat talents. But he’s going to be used exclusively at quarterback this year. “(Crest) brings something to the table that the other guys don’t do, which is between the tackles running from a quarterback,” Holgorsen said.
