WVU facing severe budget cuts from state senate

BY JOEL WHETZEL SENIOR DESIGN EDITOR A budget proposal brought to the floor this week in the West Virginia senate would cut funding to WVU by $20 million.

Aimed at addressing the $500 million deficit the state faces, the proposal cuts funding to each university in the state by 15 percent.

In an interview with MetroNews, President E. Gordon Gee said the University has made cuts of $30 million over the last three years, and further cuts would hurt the school.

“Reductions of this magnitude will have a severe, negative impact to our institution,” Gee said in a letter sent out to “friends of WVU.” Gee’s letter is part of an unprecedented University-wide call to action urging supporters of WVU to contact their legislators and express the necessity of funding WVU. “I’m not aware of anytime since I’ve been here (since 2009) that there’s been a call to action like this,” said John Bolt, senior executive director of communications at WVU. The University hopes this call to action will encourage legislators to either reduce or eliminate further cuts to WVU and to higher education in the state as a whole.

“We understand our appropriations may be reduced,” said Rob Alsop, vice president for legal, government and entrepreneurial affairs at WVU. “We’re hopeful that by the time a budget passes that we don’t

receive further cuts or the cuts are reduced to something much more reasonable.”

Should the cuts take place, the University will have to take steps to reduce its budget and cut costs.

“It will mean significant layoffs for our staff, increased tuition for our students, a fundamental change to WVU Extension Service and the reduction of academic programs,” Gee said.

The University increased tuition and fees by 5 percent in its last budget, and hopes to avoid increasing it more. Tuition has increased by $4,200 since 2002, according to the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy.

“We don’t want to impact our students, but there’s only so much we can do,” Alsop said.

While the Senate proposal is alarming to higher education officials, two other plans are on the table.

Gov. Jim Justice’s plan, which Gee supports, includes no cuts to higher education, and the House’s plan cuts higher education by 4.4 percent.

“We are on life support. This is a state that can go one of two ways. We need to stabilize that patient. And, the Governor’s proposal will do that. And then we can start to grow. But, if you try to continue to cut yourself into prosperity it just simply does not work,” Gee said on MetroNews’ Talkline with Hoppy Kercheval.

While eliminating the cuts is the preferred option for WVU, officials do understand that cuts may take place, and hope for a

Students sound off: How budget cuts will affect the University and the state “I would ask the legislators where the state’s promise is in terms of what we can offer the world. These cuts are going to affect first, of course, art and scholarship and really opportunities to have a diverse education.”

— Jared Peterson, senior ceramics and english student

“I think this state has a lot to offer, and by cutting University funding we really put a lot of students in the state at a disadvantage. So I think this is a poor move on the legislators’ part, they should be bulking up higher education.”

— Magdalena Baumgartner, freshman medical laboratory sciences student

The West Virginia capitol building’s golden dome shines on a sunny day in Charleston. smaller amount, such as the House’s proposal.

“The House proposed a 4.4 percent cut to the University.

While we obviously don’t like that, we don’t have to issue a call to action for that,” Alsop said.

Justice has said he will veto both the House and Senate proposals.

Senate President Mitch Carmichael (R-Jackson) has adamantly defended the budget proposal.

“We provided the flexibility for all these institutions to manage themselves to get more from the dollars they’re allocated,” Carmichael told MetroNews.

The University maintains that it has gone through enough cuts and cannot afford more.

“This additional reduction

will be devastating to West Virginia University and all of the other four-year institutions in this state,” Gee said.

Alsop said the University is already looking at ways to be more efficient from an administrative standpoint, but a cut of this size would force officials to look into options such as tuition increases and layoffs.

As the proposals move forward on Wednesday, Gee hopes that a solution can be reached that does not cut funding from WVU. “This is a pivotal moment in our institution—and our state’s—history,” Gee said. “We must come together to carry the message to our state’s leaders: An investment in West Virginia University is an investment in the state of West Virginia.”

“Cutting from the budget more than likely will just increase tuition or cut other programs. In fact, most of the reason I can actually afford to go here is the scholarships WVU provides, and that would really be the difference between me getting an education or not having one at all.”

— Amos Stead, junior soil sciences student

Bake sale highlights gender wage gap

BY RACHEL ROGERS STAFF WRITER Men approached a table of baked goods claiming that the gender wage gap was a myth. Others said it was sexist to charge women 75 cents for cookies and brownies while men had to pay a dollar.

“It’s absolutely sexist,” said Leah Cunningham, member of the WVU Council for Women’s Concerns.

“But it’s one day for (men).”

The Council for Women’s Concerns along with

the American Association of University Women, hosted its third annual Equal Pay Day Bake sale on Tuesday in front of the Mountainlair to raise money for the council and spread awareness about the gender wage gap.

“This is something women have to face daily throughout their whole lives,” Cunningham said.

According to The Simple Truth, published by the AAUW, women working full-time in the United States in 2015 were typi-

cally paid only 80 percent of what men received.

If the wage gap continues to narrow at the same rate that it has since 2001, women will not receive pay equity until 2152, according to the AAUW. “We’re obviously not going to make a ton of money selling baked goods for 75 cents or a dollar apiece, but the goal is to raise awareness to what women face every day,” Cunningham said.

Cunningham said the wage gap can be attributed

to a variety of factors, including women’s career choices, male dominance in STEM fields and the high cost of childcare.

“The United State is one of the only industrialized countries in the world that does not offer paid maternity leave,” Cunningham said.

Women can be their own advocates when it comes to the gender wage gap.

“The first thing you can do is know your rights as a woman and be aware of the gender wage gap and

WVU offers free online screening for National Alcohol Screening Day STAFF REPORTS

NOW HIRING

Thursday is National Alcohol Screening Day and WVU provides all students a free, totally anonymous, on-line screening tool to assess their use of alcohol, marijuana or prescription drugs.

The screening is available at http://recovery.wvu.edu/ screenu We asked Cathy Yura, Director of WVU’s Collegiate Recovery, about the screening: Q. Why does the university provide a service like this?

A. ScreenU is designed

to identify a person’s level of risk of developing dependence to alcohol or other drugs through an online format. Based on the results of their screening, students receive feedback specific to their risk level and recommendations to reduce their risk for experiencing negative consequences. Students then receive strategies that can help support low risk use of alcohol and safe use of medications.

Q. If a student only occasionally has a drinking problem, is that still a problem?

A. It depends on the individual and their reaction to alcohol.

Some people can drink while others can have a small amount of alcohol and become very intoxicated. Not all individuals who abuse alcohol become full-blown alcoholics, but it is a big risk.

Sometimes alcoholism develops suddenly in response to a stressful change such as a break-up or another loss.

Or it can gradually creep up as your tolerance to alcohol increases.

If you binge drink or drink

daily, the risk of developing alcoholism is greater. Having a screening tool can help a student understand the risks.

Q. Does WVU’s recovery program only help people who are alcoholics?

A. The recovery program is for any student who supports recovery from a substance use disorder.

Students who are part of the recovery program may or may not have a substance use disorder but support the idea of being free of any substance.

OPINION

Staff editorial: A letter to the West Virginia Senate GOP To the West Virginia Senate, In the past few weeks as you sat with your colleagues discussing whether to cut $50 million from higher education in the state, thousands of students—your constituents— were sending out graduation announcements, ordering caps and gowns and figuring out how they’re going to put their degrees to work when they graduate in a few weeks.

For them, your budget proposal is poison.

You are sending a message to all of us that you do not value education or its place in our state. This proposal undercuts the efforts of past and future graduates alike by diminishing the worth of their degrees.

WVU students—Mountaineers—continue to go first, but through this proposal you are putting us last.

In the last four years, WVU has made great strides to stand as an educational beacon for not just this state, but the nation.

Our researchers served as whistleblowers and trailblazers, earning us the highest accolade as an R1 Research Institution. We’ve expanded and grown, and in turn we’ve been able to offer students unique learning experiences not available anywhere else. They can walk into the LaunchLab on a Thursday afternoon with nothing but an idea, and walk out with a business plan a few weeks later. They have at their disposal technology like 360 cameras and 3-D printers that allow them to push the limits of traditional education.

This all gives worth to a WVU degree. If your proposal passes, all of this is at risk. You are not just devaluing our education, you are devaluing us as individuals and our future potential.

As students and graduates we’re told you don’t want us to leave the state, but what choice do you think we have? If we are not your priority, why should you be ours?

We have students here from dozens of countries and all 50 states. They have put their faith into this institution

to give them a worthwhile experience and a degree to be proud of. You will be responsible when this can no longer ring true.

Economically you may be seeing a deal, but for us this could be disastrous. Education is a value. You seem to remember this when you praise us and our accomplishments to your colleagues, but forget when it truly matters—like right now.

We know serving this state can be a hard and thankless job, and we understand there will never be a simple course of action to solve all the problems here.

We know you’re under pressure, but we are too.

Before you vote, we hope you’ve considered the consequences of this budget and devaluing education, as you— our legislators—work to rebuild the Mountain State.

Sincerely, The Daily Athenaeum Staff

Pirates of Penzance takes the stage this weekend

BY EMILY ZEKONIS ASSOCIATE CULTURE EDITOR WVU’s School of Theatre and Dance brings seafaring action and romance to life with its production of Pirates of Penzance, opening April 6.

“Pirates of Penzance is colorful, fun, silly and beautiful,” said Lee Blair, director of the upcoming production. “It is a classic operetta and melodrama from the greatest composer and lyricist, in my opinion, of the light comic operetta form, Gilbert and

Sullivan.”

The production features students of a variety of creative arts majors, including voice, musical theater and acting, at both the graduate and undergraduate level working together. The company has been working since mid-February to bring together the musical tale.

“With a musical you are dealing with three different disciplines: acting, dance and music,” Blair said. “They must all be rehearsed, somewhat separately at first and then

combined and connected to tell a complete story.”

Cast members went through a two-part audition process to secure a spot in the production, as well as the last production “Pericles” at the same time.

Those auditioning were asked to perform a Shakespearean monologue and a song pre-1960 from a musical or operetta to be evaluated by director Lee Blair and choreographer Yoav Kaddar.

The DA Eats Q&A on 20 years with Mario’s Fishbowl owners

BY ABBY HUMPHREYS BLOGS EDITOR Mario’s Fishbowl has served the Morgantown community since 1963. At its Richwood Avenue location, the history of both Morgantown and WVU cover the walls, with some handwritten notes from satisfied customers dating back to 1964.

Mark and Karen Furfari took over the business in 1997 and want everyone to know how much has changed over the past 20 years. From staffing WVU Greek life’s kitchens to catering community events, the reach of Mario’s Fishbowl extends far from its original brick building. However, the same great food and atmosphere remains in this formative part of Morgantown.

What’s the story behind the creation of Mario’s Fishbowl?

From its menu: “In 1949, Tom and Anna Torch opened a confectionary in their Woodburn neighborhood. After a successful first year, the Torches purchased a small piece of property, and Tom and his two brothers built the block building. In July 1950, they opened the Richwood Avenue Confectionary.

“In 1963, due to Tom’s passing, Anna sold the store to Rose and Mario Spina. … The Spinas discovered that large goblets were fascinating glasses in

which to serve beer. They decided to call it a ‘fishbowl’ because of its large size. A large fishbowl was 35 cents, which made it the biggest and coldest beer in town… and it still is today.

“Mario and Rose operated the Fishbowl until January of 1997, when they turned over the business to its current owners, Mark and Karen Furfari.”

Mario’s Fishbowl continues to receive national awards for Best Bar and Best College Bar in WV. Travelocity, in 2005, named Mario’s Fishbowl one

of 500 “most authentic, truly local spots in North America.”

What does Mario’s offer the Morgantown community?

We offer a landmark business that is rich in tradition, has great food and serves the coldest beer in town. Our customers range from young children to seniors. Since joining the Big 12, Mario’s Fishbowl has become a must-stop for both WVU and visiting team fans.

It is a special place on home football game weekends.

What are your best-selling menu items?

Our best-selling items are our wings. By far, the favorite flavor is “Cowboy Ranch.”

We have a broad menu for a bar and grill. All our soups and chili are made in-house, and our salads are large and fresh.

Our best-selling sandwich is our Philly cheesesteak, and our Reuben is to die for. Our fries are hand-cut and our onions rings are also made in-house.

Nowhere will you find a

colder and fresher draft beer.

We have 16 draft beers on tap with a nice variety of domestics, imports and micros. If you don’t like beer, our selection of wine sangrias are yummy and are served in frosted fishbowls.

How has the business expanded in the past 20 years?

Karen and I purchased Mario’s Fishbowl in 1997. At the time, 98 percent of Mario and Rose’s sales consisted of beer. It was our goal to create a balance of food and drink to

meet the needs of students and non-students alike.

Today, more than 60 percent of our total sales are food products. In 1998, we started our catering business, and in 2002, we built a full-service banquet facility named Crosley’s Banquet Center, after the automobile—the building that houses our banquet center was originally a Crosley dealership.

In 2012, we opened a second location of Mario’s Fishbowl in the Suncrest neigh-

borhood in Morgantown on University Ave. In 2015, we built and opened up our patio, which connects Mario’s Fishbowl and Crosley’s Banquet Center. It doubles our capacity during the warmer months and has become a popular spot on which to chill.

Any student with a valid student ID will receive 20 percent off of their food and beverages, excluding alcohol, Monday-Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visit mariosfishbowl.com for more info.

Spavital hire adjusts playcalling, offensive duties

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR Things are a little bit different on West Virginia’s offense.

There’s no longer Skyler Howard at quarterback, handing the reigns over to Will Grier and Chris Chugunov. Shelton Gibson and Daikiel Shorts—the team’s two leading receivers last season—are also departed. And there are a few new faces are on the coaching staff.

One of those is Jake Spavital, the new offensive coordinator/ quarterbacks coach, who is a familiar face at WVU after coaching here from 2011-12.

“I’m obviously excited about having Jake back,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“He’s going to take control of the offense.”

With Spavital back following

stints at Texas A&M and California, the latter his latest stop this past season, Holgorsen is no longer calling the plays like he has the last few years. He is moving those duties over to one of college football’s rising commodities.

Holgorsen is focused on overseeing the entire team. He’s moving about all over practice, sometimes strolling around in his golf cart, joking about being a caddy in the cart, becoming a weatherman, and even a referee.

“Get recruits and throw them in the back (of the cart), run them around, talk to them a little bit when they are here,” Holgorsen said. “That’s what I do. Referee, now that’s fun.

Mediator.”

Certain levels of trust run within the coaching duo. The

two know each other really well and are accustomed to how one another operate.

Spavital was a trusted and proven source for Holgorsen, who was ready to hand over the control of the offense to someone else. In his stops at Texas A&M and Cal, the offenses were among the most potent in the entire country.

At Cal in 2016, Spavital was dealt a tough task: grooming the predecessor to quarterback Jared Goff, the No. 1 pick in last year’s Draft. Things would work out just fine in that regard.

Davis Webb, a transfer from Texas Tech, went on to toss for 4,295 yards in his first and only year in Berkeley— the sixth-highest total in the country.

“I have just been following him,” Holgorsen said. “I knew he would be ready, this was the time that made sense to get somebody in here that can give

The 31-year-old Spavital learned a lot at Cal while working alongside head coach Sonny Dykes, carrying parts of smaller aspects of the game to WVU. Luckily, a lot of it was already the same, making it a near seamless transition to a new school, a

new region and a different crop of players. Dykes stems from the same coaching tree as Holgorsen, once working together at Texas Tech under Mike Leach.

“There’s some of those little nuances that he did that I’ve carried over into West Virginia, but there are a lot of similarities between both coaches,” Spavi-

tal said.

For Spavital, it’s now just a feeling out process. It’s his first few months back, coming back for spring football, where it’s basically that “feeling out process.”

Players audition for playing time and such.

This adjustment period is normal at every program every season. New coaches emerge and develop. So do players.

And this adjustment period is great for Holgorsen, an individual that’s changed his job description and grown as a leader since taking over in 2011. Those are typically the steps of a program continually heading in the right direction.

Defensive coordinator Tony Gibson certainly approves.

“We work great together and that’s why you see us trending up, getting more wins and doing some things, but those guys obviously worked very well together as well,” Gibson said.
