Dating, domestic violence more than triple in Clery Act

BY JENNIFER GARDNER MANAGING EDITOR The West Virginia University Police Department released its latest federally mandated Clery Report last week, which documents crime on and around campus from 2013 to 2015.

Though fewer arrests for violations of liquor and drug laws were reported, there were increases in dating and domestic violence, from nine to 30 over the three year period, and sexual offense reports rose from 10 to 11 in the same time frame.

“I definitely believe our numbers have increased because we have increased awareness on how to report and we’ve created a safe environment for students,” said

Title IX Education Specialist Mariana Matthews. “We have been extremely focused on creating a victim-centered response, which is crucial to limit re-traumatization and to avoid victim-blaming, allowing students to seek resources available to them.”

In a release from WVUToday, UPD also attributed the increase to efforts to raise awareness through the University’s “It’s On Us” campaign, which launched at WVU in January 2015, as part of a national program to help campuses take ownership in preventing and reporting sexual assault.

“The impact of the National It’s On Us campaign on campus has really assisted in driving our efforts to step up as Mountaineers and take re-

sponsibility for keeping our University safe,” Matthews said. “Thanks to student leaders, student-athletes, student organizations and our University administration and employees—more students know their rights, responsibilities, reporting options and confidential resources.”

Under the It’s On Us campaign, trained students work to end sexual assault and power-based personal violence on campus through immediate crisis intervention and prevention awareness events.

“Having a relationship built with our community partners such as law enforcement, to allow for policing of the cooperative zone, ensures that we are all working together to create a safe envi-

ronment on and off campus,” Matthews said.

Also in the report, arrests for liquor law violations declined from 700 in 2013 to 227 in 2015. Referrals, violations with no arrest and handled by WVU’s judicial system decreased from 2013 to 2015 from 1,942 to 1,532.

“Our crime rate is considerably lower than our peer institutions and this fact can be attributed to our local area and community that we serve,” Chief Bob Roberts in the press release. “Crime rates are normally a reflection of the community and the police in partnership.

When police are proactive and their community is engaged in preventing and reporting crimes, then we see safer communities.”

Drug arrests declined from 210 to 197 and referrals from 273 to 210.

Destruction of property reports increased from 86 in 2013 to 136, however, burglaries decreased from 16 in 2013 to 15, robberies from four to two, and thefts from 180 to 147.

During the early morning hours of April 5, 1986, Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old Lehigh University freshman was tortured, raped and murdered in her residence hall room. Her killer was a drug and alcohol abuser, and a Lehigh University student whom Clery had never met. He gained access to her room by proceeding, unopposed, through three propped open doors, each of which should have been locked. He was convicted and

sentenced to death.

Her parents, Connie and Howard Clery found that only four percent of colleges and universities reported crime on their campuses to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The Clery’s went to work to mandate that all college and universities disclose crimes that occur on their campuses and prepare an annual campus security report that shows the crime statistics and what security measures are taking place on campus. In 1990, the Campus Security Act was passed.It was later renamed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act in 1998.

WVU Foundation raises $1 billion in funding

BY ALANNA LONGNECKER CORRESPONDENT

From the moment new students, faculty and staff first step foot on West Virginia University’s campus, the phrase “Mountaineers go first” is instilled in their minds.

On Friday, Mountaineers did indeed go first when WVU joined the ranks of just 36 other public universities in the U.S. who have also reached their goal of raising more than $1 billion in funding.

campaign, supports funds, scholarships and the vast possibilities each Mountaineer’s future holds.

“This is a day of celebra-

tion,” said WVU President E. Gordon Gee. Alumni, scholarship recipients and WVU staff could all agree it was a day

to celebrate after reaching $750 million only 27 months after the campaign first launched, and reaching their ultimate goal of $1 billion 15 months ahead of the campaign date.

Dillon Muhly-Alexander, a West Virginia native, and Cristin Dolan of Ohio, who were both awarded the WVU Foundation Scholarship, assured everyone gathered at Friday’s press confer-

ence every cent put into the campaign is not done in vain.

“West Virginia is a force to be reckoned with,” Dolan said on the early success of the campaign.

The money raised will go to healthcare, undergraduate success, University research and faculty quality, just to name a few.

Though half of the donations came from individuals, WVU Foundation

Virginia is a force “ West to be reckoned with ”

President Cindi Roth reminded all present at the conference that “we do have more work to do,” a statement backed by Bob Reynolds, Foundation co-chair.

Gee, bringing the day to an end, also reminded everyone of why we are all Mountaineers.

“There is only one number that matters, and that is ‘one,’” he said. “One West Virginia, one dollar, one life at a time.”

Carruth Center works to alleviate student anxiety

BY LENA CAMILLETTI CITY EDITOR With midterms looming in the near future, many students are faced with the reality of what college can be—stressful and anxiety inducing.

The West Virginia University Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services is offering a free workshop Tuesday evening to help students learn, acknowledge and manage feelings that can be incredibly overwhelming, especially at this time in the semester.

“The idea behind this is recognizing common experiences students have and providing a safe place for them to come and get information about what it is like for most people, and what they can do to manage those experiences,” said Dr. Elijah Wise, the outreach coordinator for the Carruth Center Wise emphasized the lack of attention mental illness has received traditionally, and the hope is to normalize the experience of anxiety for students.

While students are ultimately attending college for

educational purposes, there is much more that comes with their time spent on campus, and in turn much more to take away from WVU. “Part of the college experience is helping students develop, not only academically and socially, but also teaching them to manage basic life skills,” Wise said.

“

“And the more we attend to these areas to deal with these stressful situations, the more students are able to deal with these feelings.”

More than anything, Wise and his colleagues want to provide students with the opportunity to cope with feelings of anxiety and understand they are not alone in these experiences.

“It’s helpful (for students) to know that they are not alone, and give them a space to learn about those experiences,” Wise said.

For more information about the Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services, call 304-2934431 or visit the website at http://well.wvu.edu/ccpps/ wellness-workshop-series.

The Carruth Center plans to offer two more workshops this semester.

Pope Francis: gender theory a “great enemy”

BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR Pope Francis is widely considered to be the most liberal pope in history.

He has taken progressive stances or made forward progress on the remarriage of Catholics, abortion, transgender acceptance by the church and global warming. He has been quoted saying the following: “If someone is gay and he is searching for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?”

“The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the blood of Christ, all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone!” before continuing to say “Even the atheists.

Everyone!”

“Any harm done to the environment, therefore, is harm done to humanity.” “(humans are) not authorized to abuse it, much less destroy it.”

In 2015, a Pew Research Study polled how Pope Francis affected views on the Catholic Church. It found that 28 percent of U.S. adults say they have a more positive view of the church since Pope Francis was elected. Aside from Catholics, liberals and Democrats were most likely to see a positive change in the church under Pope Francis.

While Pope Francis is the most progressive pope, he’s still the head of a church rooted deeply in tradition.

His progressive stances have their limits.

LUCA ZENNARO/POOL PHOTO VIA AP

Pope Francis speaks with journalists on board the flight from Baku to Rome, Sunday, Oct. 2, 2016. Pope Francis praised Azerbaijan on Sunday as a model for a world divided by violent extremism, sidestepping criticism of the government for the sake of encouraging religious tolerance in an often-volatile region where Catholics are a minority.

On Saturday, one of t hese

limits was tested. “A great

enemy of marriage today is

the theory of gender,” Pope Francis said during a trip to former Soviet state Georgia.

“Today, there is a global war out to destroy marriage,” he said. “Not with weapons, but with ideas.”

Gender theory is the idea that people can identify as a gender beyond their biological one. It’s a tough issue that makes many uncomfortable, and one that many religious organizations, state governments and universities will wrestle with for years to come.

Pope Francis says the way to maintain a marriage is by being “welcoming, accompanying, discerning and integrating.”

Maybe someday we see these ideals adopted fully by the Catholic Church.

Why Sunday hunting should be legalized in WV FROM THE BLUEFIED DAILY TELEGRAPH Lawmakers in West Virginia were told last week that allowing Sunday hunting statewide in the Mountain State would result in the direct creation of 1,900 jobs, along with $29 million in wages. And the total economic impact, according to John Culclasure with the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation, would be the creation of more than 2,600 jobs and more than $50 million in wages, with a total of more than $155 million in

economic output.

These impressive estimates are hard to ignore in tough economic times. Every new job created counts.

The new revenue that would be generated from opening up the Mountain State to Sunday hunting would certainly help when it comes to improving the state’s troubled financial picture.

West Virginia is currently one of 11 states that either prohibit or restrict hunting on Sundays.

There are 22 counties in West Virginia that allow

hunting on Sunday on private land, but anyone seeking to hunt on private property must obtain written permission from the property owner to do so. It is cumbersome for out-of-state travelers to inquire in advance where he or she would be permitted to hunt without breaking the law, Culclasure told lawmakers.

State legislatures have moved incrementally in passing laws that first allow hunting on private lands statewide, then later allow hunting on public property, Culclasure said. This would

be the correct path for West Virginia to follow.

If someone wants to hunt on a Sunday on land they own, they certainly should be allowed to do so. If the landowner desires to let someone else hunt on their property, that should be allowed as well.

“Out-of-state hunters do not travel to West Virginia to hunt because of Sunday restrictions,” Culclasure said.

“And West Virginia residents travel outside the state to hunt on weekends.”

If legislation were passed allowing Sunday hunting, 14

days of additional big game hunting would be added to the season and nine days would be added to small game hunting, the Associated Press reported. That change would encourage more out-of-state hunters to travel to West Virginia and spend their money in local hotels, restaurants and department stores.

The Mercer County Commission voted earlier this year to place the question of Sunday hunting on the November 8 ballot, meaning residents will be making an important decision in just a

matter of weeks.

Given all of the challenges associated with the decline of the coal industry, it is imperative for area voters to pass this measure come Nov. 8. Doing so will provide an urgently needed economic boon for Mercer County.

In the meantime, we urge lawmakers in Charleston to act quickly in allowing Sunday hunting statewide on private lands.

This would be a great first step for the Mountain State to get the maximum bang for its buck when it comes to Sunday hunting.

MountaineerTHON promotes National Child Health Day

Morgantown Oktoberfest Events In Germany, men and women dress in traditonal Lederhosen and Dirndl, and enjoy Bavarian specialties. Traditionally held in Munich, Germany, it began this year in mid-September and ended Monday, Oct. 3.

However, here in the Morgantown area, the Oktoberfest festivities are only beginning.

BY EMILY ZEKONIS CORRESPONDENT The Life Science stairs, Mountainlair traffic and attending the calculus class you just can’t stand are all daily complaints of West Virginia University students. However, imagine what life would be like if you couldn’t e n d u re t h e s e s m a l l inconveniences.

Monday marks National Child Health Day, a day when organizations related to promoting the wellbeing of youth come together to raise awareness of the struggle some children go through each day because of their health. All week, WVU’s MountaineerThon will be campaigning and giving out information about how to get involved in the fight for better futures for local children.

Many of these children are only minutes from our Morgantown homes, at WVU Medicine Children’s.

Jensen Kinsey, a 4-yearold of Fairmont, was born three months prematurely with severely underdeveloped lungs, resembling those of a child born at just 20 weeks.

For 15 months, Jensen required medical help and equipment to assist in breathing in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at WVU Medicine Children’s, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in Ruby Memorial in Morgantown.

MONDAY OCT. 3, 2016

STAFF PHOTO

A Miracle Wish girl runs through the human tunnel at MountaineerTHON in 2015.

From his birth, the child endured a harder fight for his health than many will encounter in their lifetime. Through weeks of struggle, and concern from his parents, Jensen’s care team worked around the clock, even volunteering to work after hours and unpaid to ensure he would have a chance to grow up. He was so loved by the staff he even celebrated his first birthday in the NICU, which was the first birthday celebration to be held there.

After months of care and hope, Jensen was sent home with four trained nurses to take care of him while he could enjoy a normal childhood.

Today, thanks to his caring nurses and WVU Medicine Children’s staff, he enjoys a normal life, and

his home ventilator was removed a year ago.

He endured 15 months of intensive inpatient care and 10 surgeries before the age of 4, but he is still smiling, running and jumping on his trampoline everyday.

WVU Medicine became this child’s lungs, and it was the donations to Children’s Miracle Network that helped him breath.

Donors and staff helped a child perform a life function many only notice after a strenuous flight of stairs.

Oct. 3 is a day to celebrate these children and raise awareness on campus in support for WVU C h i l d r e n ’s Medicine and Children’s Miracle Network.

The easiest—and most fun—way to get involved in this organization on

campus is WVU’s MountaineerTHON, which will have tables set up in in the Mountainlair throughout the week to provide more information on how to get involved with entertaining events like flag football and picnics, and how to donate to help support kids like Jensen to breathe, heal and grow up to have the opportunity of becoming future Mountaineers.

All donations will go to Children’s Miracle Network, and stay here at WVU Medicine Children in Morgantown. Students will also be encouraged to participate in their Dance Marathon, an eight hour dance marathon to celebrate hope and health, all for the promotion of “this generation fighting for the next”.

The West Virginia Public Theatre’s Oktoberfest will be held Oct. 8 and feature Bavarian food, drinks and Polka music. The event will be indoor and offers activities for all ages. It will be held at the West Virginia National Guard Readiness Center in Morgantown. Registration is $20 for those over 21, and $10 for those under.

The Morgantown Brewing Company will be holding its 7th annual Oktoberfest throughout Oct. 8 and 9. Along with beer and traditional German food, Morgantown Brewing Company will have a kid’s craft table, games and live music.

Terra Cafe Oktoberfest has partnered with Sargasso to host a celebration with authentic German food, live entertainment by the Hofbrauhaus Pittsburgh house band, games and plenty of beer. The event will be held Oct. 15 noon to 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door.

Terra Cafe is located at 425 Industrial Ave. along the Rail Trail.

LISTICLE Top seasonal brews to celebrate Oktoberfest It’s the season for flannel, midterms and Oktoberfests. The DA has very strong opinions on what you should be drinking and with what. Here is our list of the top six seasonal brews to sip, quaff or guzzle. If you can get your hands on any of these top brews, you’ll be able to celebrate the season appropriately, but remember to do so responsibly.

1

. Southern Tier Pumking Southern Tier started brewing Pumking in 2007 in Lakewood, N.Y., and has since rightfully taken over the fall craft beer market. The Pumking is an imperial pumpkin ale, with an alcohol level of 8.6% and a spicy, yet pleasant and balanced mouthfeel. This is available on tap at Pies and Pints in Suncrest.

2

. Great Lakes Oktoberfest From Cleveland, Great Lakes Brewing Company fills pints with an amber bliss and creates an exceptionally light mouthfeel with their Oktoberfest. This Oktoberfest isn’t a true Bavarian-style beer but still deserves a great amount of respect because the tasty malt combines beautifully with noble hops. It has an alcohol level of 6.5%. This is available on tap at Pies and Pints and Apothecary Ale House & Café on Chestnut Street.

3

. Rogue Pumpkin Patch Ale Rogue is wonderful because it grows the pumpkins for this beer on its own Rogue Farm in Independence, Oregon. The 15 ingredients in this beer join together to form a symphony of pumpkin, cloves, vanilla and wheat malts with a nice hop presence. It has an alcohol level of 5.6%. This can be found at Kroger locations in Morgantown and at Everyday’s a Party on University Avenue.

4

. Saranac Pumpkin Ale From Utica, N.Y., this pumpkin ale is similar to the others but tastes like pumpkin pie due to more than 3,000 pounds of pumpkin used in the brewing process and a healthy blend of spices like cinnamon and allspice. It has an alcohol level of 5.3%.

You can have it on draft or in an adorable 32 oz. growler. You can fill up at Kroger, Shop N Save Food and Giant Eagle.

5

. Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest Sierra Nevada bottled their Oktoberfest 2016 this year in collaboration with Bamberg, Germany’s Mahrs Brau. Each year, Sierra Nevada partners with a different German brewery. Compared to last year’s edition, it is lighter in both body and color. It has an alcohol level of 6% and can be found at Sheetz and Kroger.

WVU shows resilience in win over KSU

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR

FOOTBALL “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.”

This quote exemplified WVU for much of Saturday afternoon. Rushel Shell had just fumbled at the goal line late in the third quarter. West Virginia was staring down its fifth straight defeat to Kansas State, with the crowd of 60,000-plus growing restless.

That’s when the Mountaineers showed their resilience, responding in the face of adversity. They stayed true to who they are, preaching what they did all week in practice: play your game.

“Just going out there and being us,” said WVU senior quarterback Skyler Howard. “We talked all week about just being us. Play loose, don’t play uptight.

We play our best ball being ourselves.”

“

JOEL WHETZEL / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Rushel Shell looks to juke past Kansas State linebacker Elijah Lee during the 1716 Mountaineer victory over the Wildcats. eer fans will relive for a long time, especially the duo of Howard and Durante. It ended a drought

And it wouldn’t have

We’re going to keep fighting no matter what. Until the clock hits zero, we’re going to keep fighting. That’s what our team is built upon. Just keep finishing. Finishing, that’s all. Finish.

Once they got back to who they were, the Mountaineers played their ‘best ball.’ That’s when they rallied 14 unanswered points, topped off with Howard’s game-winning touchdown strike to Jovon Durante.

It was a play Mountain-

dating back to 2012 against Bill Snyder’s team, sending the sold out Milan Puskar stadium into celebration.

“I’ve been apart of it the past two years, past three years now,” Howard said.

“The drought that West Virginia has had against

”

happened without the defense making critical stops.

It halted Kansas State’s last four drives, forcing two punts, recording an interception and last but not least, the missed field goal attempt with two minutes remaining.

The defense learned from last week, surrendering 13 straight points to BYU before Maurice Fleming’s interception to seal the 35-32 win. The game came down to how they could contain the opposing offense, which is what happened again Saturday.

“We want the game to be on our shoulders,” said WVU senior safety Jeremy Tyler. “We want to go out there and get the ball back for our offense. We feel if we go out there and get stops for our offense, they’re going to go down and put points on the board.”

In recent years, they were on the receiving end of a number of close losses—including a pair of one-possession defeats to Kansas State since 2014— but it’s been a different tale in 2016.

Everything stems from the Mountaineers grit, their determination to will a way to victory. Until the final whistles sounds, they believe there’s still a chance to win no matter the score.

It’s what a resilient group does. As the quote says, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going.”

“We’re going to keep fighting no matter what,” Tyler said. “Until the clock hits zero, we’re going to keep fighting. That’s what our team is built upon. Just keep finishing. Finishing, that’s all. Finish.”

Unbeaten Mountaineers crack national polls

BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER

FOOTBALL After its comeback victory over Kansas State, the WVU football team made its first appearance of the season in Associated Press’ Top 25. WVU is ranked No. 22 in the latest AP Poll, which was released on Sunday.

The Mountaineers cracked the poll after a strong 4-0 start, which makes WVU one of two unbeaten teams in the Big 12 Conference, joining Baylor.

WVU is also the third Big

12 team in the poll, joining No. 13 Baylor and No. 20 Oklahoma.

WVU’s latest ranking is the first the program has had since its No. 23 ranking in 2015 after starting the season 3-0. It’s the teams highest ranking since the 2014 season, when WVU earned a No. 20 ranking ahead of a November tilt against TCU. West Virginia will have to wait another week to play a game as a ranked team, amidst a bye week in the upcoming weekend. However, WVU will be back in action on Oct. 15 against Texas Tech in Lubbock, TX.
