Fire takes home of two Summit Dining Hall employees BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD ASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR The WVU community has united to support two Summit Hall employees after they were left homeless by a fire in Westover. Josh Henry and Richard Champe lived in one of several apartment buildings and businesses that were destroyed by the fire on Holland Avenue. Steve Core, a WVU Health Science employee, created a GoFundMe account in hopes of raising $5,000 for the workers. “While it is early, I hope to triple the goal that we have set,” Core said. “We’re all trying to help as much as possible. There
have been so many donations of food that will end up being sold, then the money will be donated to the people who lost their homes.” To date, the GoFundMe has raised $1,546. Champe said watching the WVU and Morgantown community unite to help aid them meant a lot to him in the wake of the tragedy. “After a fire, you don’t just lose your home—you lose everything. Your life is just gone,” Champe said. “The community is doing great; they’re really helping us.” The fire started in Frank’s Hot Spot, after an initial report of a couch

A fire beginning at Frank’s Hot Spot in Westover also burned down nearby apartments, leaving two WVU dining workers without a home. catching fire, Westover VFD Assistant Fire Chief Bradley Wilson said in an interview with Metro News.
Donna Heis, manager of Summit Dining Hall, was overwhelmed with wanting to help her employees financially.
“I prayed, it was the only thing I could do,” Heis said. “I reached out to people in the WVU and Morgantown community to step up and help them. It’s humbling, moving and encouraging to watch and be a part of helping them get back on their feet.” A king size bed was recently donated to Henry from a WVU employee. Household appliances, bedroom furniture and toiletries are still necessary to be donated. “Out of a horrible situation, it is a wonderful thing to see people come together and help one another,” Heis said. As the community unites together, Core
hopes to raise more money and items for Henry and Champe. “Honestly, it was more about the family atmosphere at Summit Hall that made us want to help these two,” Core said. “We’re West Virginians you know? We’ll do whatever it takes to help the people around us; it’s that West Virginian pride to help others.

Student org advocates for vegan-friendly foods BY ALANNA LONGNECKER STAFF WRITER The availability of vegan and vegetar ian-friendly food options through campus is not prevalent, according to Nadia Anderson, the founding president of WVU’s WVeg club, a vegan and vegetarian society that formed on campus in January 2016. “There have definitely been a lot of improvements in WVU’s vegetarian and vegan options since we started our organization, and we’re ex-
tremely proud to have played a role in the positive shift that is happening,” Anderson said. “However, they’re not doing nearly enough.” Hannah Rossi, sophomore anthropology and gender studies student, is also a member of WVeg. “I think it definitely is (more difficult being vegan) if you’re living in the dorms,” Rossi said. “Since we live in a non-vegan world, it can be more difficult when you’re not grocery shopping for yourself.” Rossi also said dining
halls traditionally only have a few vegan-friendly options. “There are a lot of small changes that could easily be made in order to make foods vegan friendly, but it seems as though Dining is dragging their feet,” Anderson said. “We are currently trying to get them to make the switch to Hampton Creek brand mayo, which is allergen friendly and much more sustainable than other brands. The switch would save a huge amount of resources, greatly reducing WVU’s environmen-
tal impact.” While vegans and vegetarians may have a more difficult time eating on campus, those with other dietary restrictions such as food allergies have seen a lot of positive change with the help of those such as Julie Merow, WVU student body president. “The University and Dining Ser vices have greatly increased options for students with food allergies over the past three years,” said Merow. Both Boreman Bistro and the Evansdale
Café have added gluten and dairy free options through using separate refrigerators, and even utilized secluded areas of the kitchen to make allergen-free food options. Merow has witnessed some significant changes in vegan and vegetarian options during the work she has completed in the past two years. Taziki’s, Juice Bar and even Burger King are all campus-owned restaurants that offer both vegetarian and vegan food choices, Merow said. Requests for vegan or
vegetarian food options have increased in the past few years, said Cami McMillen, WVU’s nutrition counselor. Though having a dietary restriction may take some more meal planning, she said a student’s diet can remain just as healthy as a student who has no restrictions. “Dining Services strives to provide students with appropriate choices pertaining to their nutrition restr ictions,”McMillen said. “We ask all students with special diet requests to provide a list of likes and dislikes.”

Public Works prepares for winter weather in Morgantown CITY EDITOR Winter weather conditions can be an obstacle for students who commute to class. The City of Morgantown Public Works is in charge of plowing snow and scraping salt in the city when required. According to the Public Works website, snow is plowed in whatever order is neceassry to give emergency vehicles access to main roads. Side roads are cleared based on the amount of traffic on each street. However, many of the roads that are most used by students are not maintained by the City of Morgantown. Beechurst Avenue, Patteson Drive, Willey Avenue, College Avenue and parts of High Street and Spruce Street are maintained by the West Virginia Division of Highways, according to the Public Works website.
Harry Dalton, the Public Works superintendent of streets, said Public Works sometimes manages state routes in the case of emergencies. Dalton said safety is his department’s priority. “I know everyone that lives on the end of a dead end street needs out, too. If we don’t get those main streets cleared out, it doesn’t really matter. We’d like to be able to get everyone’s street at one time, but that’s not going to work,” Dalton said. “We try to do the best we can and get everyone in a timely manner.” According to Dalton, students and the City of Morgantown have no reason to worry about a shortage of rock salt during the winter months. “We always order (salt) plenty in advance. We always have two buildings full, with probably another half of a building on reserve,” he said. “No chance of running
out, we’re always way ahead of the game.” Dalton said the City will use one building of salt during an average winter, while the rest is surplus. The website also states that while the City of Morgantown salts and scrapes the snow off of the roads in its jurisdiction, it is the responsibility of the homeowner to salt the sidewalk in front of their homes, and, “injuries caused by lack of snow or ice removal can become litigation against the property owner.” Dalton said his goal was to get the streets in the most safe conditions for drivers. His biggest piece of advice for those commuting to work or school was to plan ahead. “Make sure your windows Vehicles on High Street attempt to navigate Morgantown’s harsh winter conditions. are clean, make sure your car has good winter tires. utes early to give yourself ex- cause of the increased stopTake your time, if you have tra time,” he advised. ping distance. to be at school or work and Dalton said most of the “In wintertime, everyit normally takes you a half winter wrecks he has seen one needs to be nice, courand hour, leave 15 or 20 min- were caused by speed be- teous and take a little extra

Trump’s Attorney General selection stirs major unrest BRANDON RIDGELY
OPINION EDITOR The most controversial cabinet choice from President-Elect Donald Trump is Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions. Sessions is going through confirmation before the Senate this week to become Attorney General. With an extremely impressive resume, (former Army captain, Senator and former Attorney General for the state of Alabama), it would seem that Sessions is more than qualified. So why is this decision sparking so much outrage? Ask Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J). He will testify against Sessions’ nomination today, marking the first time a fellow sitting senator will argue against a colleague during confirmation. “I do not take lightly the decision to testify against a Senate colleague,” Booker said. “This is one of the more consequential appointments in American history right now given the state of a lot of our challenges we have with our policing, a lot of challenges we have with race relations, gay and lesbian relations.” Sessions hasn’t ever hidden his opinions. In 2013 he publically supported the weakening of the Voting Rights Act. This allowed Pasadena, Texas to implement voting ID requirements, an action that was later deemed
OPINION | 5
unconstitutional. In December 2015, he spoke on the Senate floor for more than 20 minutes arguing for the ability to discriminate against immigrants coming from countries with terrorist activity. On the Patriot Act— which allowed widespread wiretaps—Sessions said, “The provisions in the Patriot Act are in no way extreme, in no way novel, in no way contradictory to the principles of the constitutional law this country has operated under since its founding.” On marriage equality, Sessions said, “It is not disputable that adopting a same-sex marriage culture undermines and weakens marriage.” On church and state, Sessions said, “The Constitution says we shall not establish a religion, Congress shall not establish a religion. It doesn’t say states couldn’t establish a religion.” Sessions was a prosecutor during President Reagan’s failed war on drugs and has since continued opposition to the medical benefits of marijuana. “This drug is dangerous. You cannot play with it. It’s not funny. It’s not something to laugh about, and trying to send that message with clarity that good people don’t smoke marijuana,” Sessions said in 2016.
While some of these stances may pale in comparison to quotes the soonto-be, widely-considered, most powerful person in the world has said, Sessions may be under more intense scrutiny due to the role and importance of his office. “The Attorney General has to be the people’s lawyer,” said Lena Zwarensteyn of the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy. “It’s telling that Sessions was one of the first senators to support Trump and has been a close adviser on issues like immigration for his campaign.” If the Attorney General is to be an unbiased fighter for the people, Sessions might hold views too extreme. But Sessions isn’t all bad. He affirmed that while his private beliefs are against legal abortion, it is the Supreme Court’s ruling on it that matters; he said he would uphold the 2015 ban of waterboarding despite the president’s position; clarified that Trump’s infamous “grab them by the pussy” quote would be sexual assault in practice; agreed he would oppose the idea of a ban on Muslims entering the country; and said that he will be able to say “no” to the soon-to-be president when needed. Whether he’ll get the chance hinges on what the Senate Judiciary Committee rules today.

Housing the Scene: How Morgantown can become a music destination BY JACKSON MONTGOMERY U92 MEDIA DIRECTOR Space has been a heavy topic in the independent music industry since a fire in early December left 36 artists and fans dead at a warehouse venue in Oakland, Calif., known as “Ghost Ship.” Do-it-yourself house venues and live-work industrial buildings across the country have seen increased policing and conflict with landlords over the past year, and the fire brought city governments down hard on these code-violating community centers. Long-standing hideouts like LA’s Purple 33, NYC’s Cake Shop and London’s Fabric all shut down within 2016. Thankfully, Fabric managed to reopen after a huge crowdfunding support campaign, but other, less legal spaces haven’t been so lucky. To the untrained observer, the disappearance of
these cheap, unsafe, unregulated spaces might seem like a good thing. Established, for-profit venues offer better promotions, a bigger budget to book with, professional-grade sound systems, and food and drinks, all without the chance of tragic accidents like Ghost Ship. For the musicians and artists that populate these scenes, however, it’s an absolute nightmare. Artists that participate in a specific scene stay afloat through a loose network of promoters, venue managers, absentee landlords and creative-friendly jobs that allow them to work part-time to pay the bills and put all their free energy into the music. No single person starting out is able to supply the funds needed to rent a building that’s zoned for parties, get it up to code, and manage the day-to-day operations. It takes a disjointed, freewheeling village to contribute a speaker here,
a lamp there, and a dusty basement only accessible through a sketchy back alley to make these things happen. Without them, it’s impossible for a locale to develop its own artistic identity. Big venues book big names, touring from out-ofstate, not your roommate’s ambient tape loop project or your cousin’s garage band. Without underground spaces for their sounds to catch on these projects will sit in silence. Some cities have realized the potential cultural value these art dens add to their economy, establishing programs to help their young creatives find live-work space. Amsterdam, for instance has the Bureau Broedplaatsen (literally “breeding place” for creativity) which developed as a legal alternative to the canal city’s famous counterculture squats. Here in West Virginia the recently revitalized

Firefighters assess the scene where a fire tore through a warehouse party early Saturday, Dec. 3, 2016 in Oakland. Tamarack Foundation has been working to establish a network of artists across the state connecting them to reduced-cost services, funding and education. In Morgantown specifically, we have the history and
potential to build a thriving, vivid music scene, but we fall short with only 123 Pleasant Street and Mainstage actively booking touring independent acts. There are at least a dozen bands that could be playing here every weekend,
and a dozen more spread throughout the state. We just need a dedicated space for up-and-coming acts to build their following without getting shut down by noise complaints or the fire marshall.
Aaron Carter to perform in Morgantown next month BY EMILY ZEKONIS STAFF WRITER Early 2000s pop sensation and teenage heartthrob Aaron Carter will visit Morgantown on Feb. 7 before the release of his new album “LØVË,” early this year. It’s been nearly 15 years, since his 2002 album “Another Earthquake” was released, but the now 29-year-old has not kept himself hidden in the
shadows. Carter has been exercising his abilities as a true triple threat, singing on broadway in “The Fantasticks” and “Seussical the Musical,” acting in various films and TV shows, and even dancing as a contestant on season nine of “Dancing With the Stars.” Now, he is back in the music industry with a new single and a set of tour dates. “Fool’s Gold,” Carter’s new-
est single, serves as the preview to his album and new image as an adult artist. Released on April 1, 2016, the song hit number 6 on Billboard Spotify Viral 50 chart. A music video for the single was released on Billboard again, debuting on the same day to make his full audio and visual comeback on his own record label, Rakkaus Records. “Fool’s Gold is… a dark secret”, Carter told ET Online in a
single release interview, hinting his new album is a darker, more emotional one than those upbeat pop songs like “I Want Candy” many danced to as a pre-teen. Students are eager to see what Carter has in store for his Morgantown performance. Without a setlist being released, it is unclear if he will be performing old hits, or debut music from the new album. “I can’t wait to see what he is
going to perform,” said speech pathology student Olivia Johnson, reminiscing Carter’s presence in the past. “I remember him from ‘Lizzie McGuire,’ it’s been awhile since we have heard anything from him.” Many students are being thrown back to the times of The Backstreet Boys, who Carter once opened for at the start of his career, as well as “Lizzie McGuire” and “Sabrina the Teenage Witch.”
“His style has changed a lot,” said engineering student Peyton Barton, of Nitro, W.Va, “I wonder if he will be performing new music or the songs we heard as kids.” Carter will perform at 8 p.m. on Feb. 7 at Mainstage Morgantown. General admission tickets are available for $20, as well as an additional option for a meet & greet event for an extra $50. The performance is open to those 18 and older.

“42nd Street” comes to the Creative Arts Center BY ERIN DRUMMOND ASSOCIATE CULTURE EDITOR The WVU community the opportunity to witness the Broadway musical “42nd Street” on its local stage. “42nd Street” will perform at the WVU Creative Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 18 as part of the University Arts Series produced by WVU Arts & Entertainment. Based on a Bradford Ropes novel, the musical focuses on the character Peggy Sawyer, an aspiring dancer who leaves her hometown
for New York. There, she auditions for “Pretty Lady,” the new Broadway musical. After the star of the show breaks her ankle, Peggy has the opportunity to take center stage. Originally produced by David Merrick in 1980, “42nd Street” ran nearly 3,500 performances in its more than eight years on a Broadway stage. It was also awarded Tony Awards for Best Musical and Best Choreography in 1981. According to its website, the musical was re-
vived on Broadway in 2001 and played more than 1,500 times. It won two Tony Awards for Best Musical Revival and Best Leading Actress and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival. The new production began its tour on Dec. 26 and will travel nationwide for 16 weeks, playing in more than 50 cities across the country. The cast includes Matthew J. Taylor as Julian Marsh, Kaitlin Lawrence as Dorothy Brock and Caitlin Ehlinger as Peggy Saw-
yer. It features well-known songs such as “We’re in the Money,” “Lullaby of Brodway,” “Shuffle Off to Buffalo,” “Dames” and “I Only Have Eyes for You.” Tickets for “42nd Street” start at $44 for the general public and $23 for those with a valid WVU ID. Discounted tickets are limited to one per valid WVU ID. The Mountainlair and Creative Arts Center box offices have tickets on sale now for those who wish to attend the performance.

WVU routs No. 1 Baylor, ends its undefeated season BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS WRITER
MEN’S BASKETBALL Top 10 teams tend not to last long in Morgantown. For the fourth straight year, one of the top 10 teams in the country has fallen in the WVU Coliseum—and 364 days after shocking No. 1 Kansas last season, Mountaineer fans stormed the court Tuesday night after seeing Press Virginia overwhelm the nation’s top-ranked team, as West Virginia (14-2, 3-1 Big 12) dominated the No. 1 Baylor Bears (15-1, 3-1) 89-68 in their biggest statement win this season. “There wasn’t anybody in our locker room who didn’t
think we ought to win,” head coach Bob Huggins said. “My hope is we get to the point where it’s expected. I’m OK with the students celebrating and having fun, and they were terrific tonight. I want it to become expected.” Although oddsmakers expected No. 10 WVU to spring the upset on the Bears, what was unexpected was how thoroughly the Mountaineer press dismantled its topranked opponent. West Virginia forced 29 turnovers, the most it has ever forced in a Big 12 conference game, taking Baylor out of its vaunted zone defense and turning the game into the type of track meet in which the Mountaineers excel.
ANDREW SPELLMAN / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
Guard Teyvon Myers drives to the basket during WVU’s 89-68 win over No. 1 Baylor on Monday night at the Coliseum. “We watched film on them and we just were like ‘We can beat them if we really play our game,’” said center Brandon Watkins. “Today we were just like ‘Look, we have to play it for 40, and whatever happens, happens.”
Press Virginia asserted itself from the outset, as the Mountaineers forced 16 turnovers in the game’s first half. However, West Virginia still couldn’t pull away early: the Bears eked out 25-13 rebounding advantage in the game’s first frame and set-
tled in against the pressure, only giving the ball away once in the last 7:53 as WVU went into the half up 39-32. But in the second half, a trio of veterans took the game over offensively. Senior forward Nathan Adrian broke out of a recent shooting slump to score a career-high 22 points on 7-10 shooting, while junior guard Jevon Carter added 17 points and Watkins chipped in 11. Although Baylor managed to stay within arm’s reach for much of the second frame, the Mountaineers decidedly put the game away with seven minutes to go, when Adrian ignited the crowd with his second three of the game—then, the Morgantown native stole the ball and junior guard Daxter
Miles Jr. put WVU up 21 with a thunderous putback dunk. “I was just trying to play hard,” Adrian said. “I wasn’t searching for shots or anything, no one was. That’s when we play our best.” Baylor represents the second top 10 team West Virginia has knocked off this year, after they beat then-No. 6 Virginia on the road on December 3. And after smothering the No. 1 team in the country, the Mountaineers believe it’s time for them to finally get their due. “If they didn’t say it before, they’re definitely going to say it now,” said guard Tarik Phillip. “That’s just half of what we can do. If we all play together and play hard as we do, it’s tough to beat us.”
Looking back: Where does this win rank in recent years? BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR
MEN’S BASKETBALL There have been a number of moments WVU will forever remember from the last few years in Morgantown. There was Juwan Staten’s game-winning layup, followed by a missed layup by Perry Ellis at the buzzer to give the Mountaineers a huge victory back in 2015. Then there was last season, which was (arguably,
depending on the individual) the biggest win of them all. Jaysean Paige capped off the evening with a dunk as WVU completed a win over No. 1 Kansas, the program’s first win over a top-ranked team since 1983. And, of course, this year’s rout of No. 1 Baylor. But where does it rank among the notable performances the Coliseum has encountered the last few seasons? Staten’s spin move around Frank Mason sent shockwaves across the social media world and ESPN.
Some fans argued he traveled en route to converting the layup that gave WVU one of its biggest wins ever. Former WVU football star and current Oakland Raider Bruce Irvin jumped his way onto the court as the students and fans in attendance packed the hardwood. But what took place Tuesday night was the best of them all in the past three seasons. There weren’t any heroics at the end. There wasn’t a highlight reel dunk during the closing seconds. None of those were needed
and the opportunity didn’t present itself. Instead, it was a complete demolition of a program that just reached the top ranking for the first time in its history. Baylor committed nine turnovers in the first six minutes, guiding WVU to a sizeable lead early. Baylor finished the game with 29 turnovers, the most WVU has allowed in a Big 12 game since joining the conference in 2012. There were travels, 10-second violations and passes thrown into the crowd.
Morgantown native Nathan Adrian finished with a career-best 22 points on 7-of-10 shooting, also recording six rebounds. Jevon Carter added 17 points and a game-high seven assists. Daxter Miles had a putback dunk. Freshman Sagaba Konata unleashed a monster block. Everything led to an 8968 trouncing of Baylor, who was able to relish the fact of being the No. 1 team in the country for just over 24 hours (the AP rankings come out on Monday afternoons).
The 2016 and 2015 wins over Kansas could definitely be argued as the pinnacle victories at the Coliseum over the past few years. But neither was a beat down compared to Tuesday night’s, sending Baylor back to Waco on the heels of its first loss this season—leaving Gonzaga as the only remaining undefeated team in college basketball. That’s why Tuesday night trumps the other two (barely) to take the No. 1 ranking of memorable wins in Morgantown.

WVU prepares for road trip, takes on Texas Tech CLASSIFIEDS BY JOEL NORMAN SPORTS WRITER
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Basketball is a game of runs. Similarly, a basketball season is a stretch of various streaks. After snapping a two-game slide, the WVU women’s basketball team is looking to start a new streak on Wednesday night. The Mountaineers will travel to Lubbock, TX to take on Texas Tech. West Virginia began the season 13-0 before losing consecutive games to Kansas State and Baylor last week. The Mountaineers rebounded with an 83-73 triumph over Oklahoma this past Sunday. Five West Virginia players finished with double-digit points and the Mountaineers improved to 2-2 in Big 12 conference play. Now, WVU will play its first road game since New Year’s Day. The Mountaineers are currently 6-2 in away or neutral site games. Wednesday night will mark the beginning of a road stint in which three of their next four games will be away from the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers will look
to Lanay Montgomery for another big game on Wednesday. The 6-foot-5 senior center leads the nation with a 70.4 field goal percentage. West Virginia is 6-0 when Montgomery makes at least six field goals in a game. This season, Montgomery has six double-doubles and nearly averages a double-double (12.0 points per game and 9.8 rebounds per game). WVU has won all six games that she has recorded a double-double in. Texas Tech enters Wednesday with a 10-5 record and, like West Virginia, is 2-2 in the Big 12. The Red Raiders are led by Recee’ Caldwell, who averages 17.5 points per game. Caldwell is deadly from beyond the arc, sinking 45 three-pointers on a .435 three-point field goal percentage. Unlike West Virginia, Texas Tech did not go undefeated in nonconference play. The Red Raiders lost three times prior to Big 12 play and then lost two more in conference play. Texas Tech has also failed to win a road game in five chances this season. After losing to Baylor and defeating Oklahoma last week, West Virginia dropped three
