Student organization aims to reduce the use of plastic bottles on campus BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD STAFF WRITER

In a survey conducted by the Sierra Student Coalition, 82 percent of 1,384 students who responded said they would be more motivated to use reusable water bottles if there were more filter stations on campus. To try and reduce plastic waste on WVU’s campus, SSC is collecting signatures to reduce single-use plastic water bottles by placing Evive water filter stations in every building. “We plan on getting the filter stations on campus by conveying the need for them to the University,” said Braley Burke, SSC’s president. “We wanted to get enough signatures on the petition to show support for the idea.”

Nearly 280,000 metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste were produced by the United States in 2010, according to a report by the University of Georgia. Every year SSC focuses on different issues aiming to protect the environment. For the 2016 fall semester, the focus is on reducing plastic water bottle waste because it is a more definite and achievable goal than trying to reduce the waste from all plastic on campus, Burke said. “The filter stations would help the University by providing easily accessible filtered water,” Burke said. “If filtered water is available on campus, students can use reusable bottles and get clean water without continually spending money on single-use bottles and producing waste.

“If filtered water is available on campus, students can use reusable bottles and get clean water without continually spending money on single-use bottles and producing waste. Plastic takes hundreds of years to degrade.” -Braley Burke Plastic takes hundreds of years to degrade.” Maya Niven, a freshman engineerng student, said she would want to use the water filter stations more. “I always have a reusable (water bottle) on me,” she said. “It would be convenient.” According to the survey, approximately 44 percent of students buy plastic water bottles once a week or less and only 60 percent recycle at least half of the time. “There could be other ways we could reduce plas-

tic bottles on campus. Providing more education on how to recycle those water bottles could help,” said James Kotcon, SSC faculty advisor. “The students concluded that the water filter stations were the more proactive idea to help the plastic waste on campus.” Kotcon has been with the organization since 1996. He wants to see one or more water filtering stations in each building on campus. SSC wants to motivate students to use reusable water bottles not only on

campus, but regularly. “Our food is generally wrapped in plastic, our milk comes in a plastic jug, we eat with plastic utensils, and we drink out of plastic bottles,” Burke said. “Plastic is a difficult waste to get rid of for good, and it is known for polluting our waterways and ecosystems.”

The group plans to propose the idea to the University and meet with the Office of Sustainability soon. If you would like to help reduce plastic waste, recycle and use reusable bottles, the petition to get more filter stations on campus is in SSC’s meetings, at 7 p.m. every Monday in Oglebay Hall 103.

MLK Jr. Achievement Award application available BY ALANNA LONGNECKER STAFF WRITER

A social advocate, humanitarian, and social activist all have one thing in common— they could be chosen on Jan. 16 to receive the Martin Luther King, Jr. Achievement Award. Each year, one of WVU’s full-time African-American sophomores or juniors is awarded this scholarship. The student must have and maintain a GPA of 3.0 or

higher and “exemplify Dr. King’s ideals,” according to the Center for Black Culture and Research’s website. The award is $500 per semester, $1,000 per year and will be announced during the 27th annual MLK Unity Breakfast. The breakfast will be held in the ballrooms at the Mountainlair, said Penny Kennedy, administrative associate of the CBCR. However, there is one big flaw in this year’s application process—according to Ken-

nedy, the center has not received any applications. The deadline is 4 p.m. on Nov. 18th. Jihad Dixon, political science major, received the MLK Jr. Achievement Award last January. “Someone who wants change and more unity amongst our marginalized/ minority communities on campus is qualified for this award,” Dixon said. The award is provided through the Center for Black

Culture and Research at WVU, an organization that has been operating since 1987 to support both African American students and students of color. “The black community here is so small,” Dixon explained. “It is so important to continue to keep the strength of the community strong.” And the MLK Jr. Achievement Award strives to do just that by recognizing a West Virginia resident who “has demonstrated an active in-

terest and meaningful involvement in areas of human rights, civil rights, social justice and/or world peace, or other activities exemplary or reflective of the ideals and life of Dr. King,” according to the scholarship’s requirements listed on the CBCR’s website. “I do believe that the MLK Scholarship has helped the students who have received it over the years,” said Marjorie Fuller, director of the CBCR. “Although it does not,

of course, cover the full cost of tuition, the amount of the scholarship is enough to put students in a better financial situation as they move toward graduation here at WVU. That is our goal.” If you or someone you know is an outstanding, active African American sophomore or junior and would like to represent Dr. King, applications for the award can be found at http://cbc.wvu. edu.

Award-winning bakery provides unique treats BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD STAFF WRITER

The aroma of icing and freshly made cupcakes fill the air in The Cupcakerie, the first and only cupcake bakery in Morgantown. Owners Anna McCarty Carrier and Janet Nelson Williams became friends in 2007 while working together at Hamstead, Williams & Shook, a law office in Morgantown. The two share a passion for cooking and baking, which convinced them they could make the perfect cupcake, and so five years ago, the Cupcakerie was opened. “We bake fresh, from scratch, every day,” Carrier said. “We put our hearts and souls into this business, we have to, especially since we are the only cupcake bakery in Morgantown.” Located on Willey Street,

the bakery can customize any order, deliver throughout Morgantown and it offers Mountie Bounty options for students at WVU. Along with Mountie Bounty, the Downtown location is what appeals to University students the most, Carrier said. “Students can stop in for a cupcake and coffee before their class starts,” Carrier said. “We try to keep current with what is going on with WVU activities. During homecoming week, we decorated blue and gold cupcakes.” Nine collections of unique cupcakes bring customers a twist on the ‘normal’ flavor. ‘The Mountaineer Collection,’ provides West Virginia inspired designs and ‘The “21” Collection’ is inspired from alcoholic beverages.

OPINION

One Mountaineer family: From the desk of David Fryson David M. Fryson is the vice president for the West Virginia University Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. He is also a lawyer, an ordained pastor and a contributing columnist to the Charleston Gazette-Mail. Each year the West Virginia University Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion chooses a theme for Diversity Week that becomes our point of emphasis throughout the academic year. This year’s theme for our October Diversity Week was “One Mountaineer Family.” In light of the current upheaval surrounding the recent presidential election, it is appropriate for all of us to consider what it means to be a part of the West Virginia Mountaineer family. A family is strong, not because everyone in the family looks alike, thinks alike or even agrees with one another. A strong family exists when there are certain core values that provide a foundation for family engagement. Three of West Virginia University’s core values are civility, respect and inclusion. Whatever the negative level of our national dialogue, the West Virginia University Mountaineer family will be a beacon of light for the nation to behold if we actually operate in our core values. This means that wherever you may be on the political spectrum, we treat one another civilly, respectfully and work toward the ideal that everyone, of all races, gender identification, sexual orientation, national-

ity or religious preference is a part of the One Mountaineer family. A sense of history is so very important when we consider the challenges we currently face as a nation. At the end of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln’s second presidential inaugural address included the famous statement “With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds….” The recent election was very difficult and, more often than not, negative towards so many of our country’s most marginalized citizens. The rhetoric of this campaign was much below the standards of civility that we have set at West Virginia University. Nevertheless, the nation has spoken on who will be our next president and our shared hope is that West Virginia University will be a leader in the area of civility as we endeavor to help bind our nation’s wounds. A simple definition of civility is “showing regards for others.” Civility does not mean that we cannot have vigorous, even impassioned engagement framed in respect of differing views. However civility is the tie that binds us to one another across differing views. We must learn to disagree without marginalizing those with whom we are not in agreement. In the aftermath of this election we are indeed a wounded nation. We were wounded by

talk of building walls to keep Hispanics and other immigrants out, expressions of discrimination against Muslims because of their religion, the apparent mocking of those who are disabled and so called “locker room” talk that offends all sensibilities of appropriate behavior. There is much hurt and pain as well as appropriate anger. Nevertheless, our next societal moves are important to how we can approach one another over the next days in order to heal our land. Although the need to embrace one another seems difficult right now, we must know that part of the American resilience is our ability to move forward rather than to get mired in the dysfunctions of a political season. Much of the talk during the campaign from our

now president elect was unconscionable and must not be defended. Nevertheless, how we move forward is not dependent on the challenges of the political season but, more importantly, on how we must now move to embrace each other from this point forward. When Abraham Lincoln uttered his famous inaugural statement that “we must bind our wounds,” it was after four years of the most brutal war in our history. Over 600,000 lost their lives in the line of duty and untold thousands were wounded. Historian Ronald White, the author of A. Lincoln: A Biography, and Lincoln’s Greatest Speech: The Second Inaugural, says letters and diaries of those who attended the March 4, 1865, speech were filled with rage. White stated in

a 2014 KGOU radio interview that “If you think about it, every person there had probably lost a father, husband, son, or brother, and they were deeply angry.” White also stated that the many people “wanted Lincoln to speak to their anger.” President Lincoln refused to speak to the anger of the nation but rather found a way to seek the common ground of re-engagement. I am encouraged that Secretary Hillary Clinton, as well as President Barack Obama, much like Lincoln, have refused to speak to the anger of so many of their followers. Even president-elect Donald Trump has spoken of reconciliation. How do we move forward? By embracing civility. Since civility is a core value at West Virginia University, we will not tolerate the actions of those who fall below this standard of engagement. For anyone who feels that they are facing an unsafe campus environment for any reason, we have resources available for your protection. The Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has been charged with ensuring that all of our students, faculty and staff are not subjected to any level of harassment based upon race, religion, gender and gender identification, sexual orientation and national origin and we request that anyone who feels any level of harassment or discrimination contact the Diversity Division immediately. The West Virginia University Police are always available for the protec-

tion of those who feel they are in any imminent danger. Most importantly, we are asking every member of the West Virginia University Mountaineer family, as well as all West Virginians, to operate in our core values of civility, respect and inclusion. The nation will watch us shine if we embrace one another in the days ahead. The following core values establish the foundation for Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at West Virginia University: -Every person has intrinsic worth and dignity -Respect for fundamental

law

-Freedom from fear is universal -A climate of opportunity, mutual respect, and understanding engenders a feeling that the future should be shared by all community members -There is an absence of discrimination and harassment based on age, color, disability, ethnic origin, marital status, pregnancy, race, religious beliefs, sex, sexual orientation, and veteran status -The rich diversity of people, their cultures and the bonds that tie people together are appreciated and celebrated

Cat shelter boxes provide homes for stray animals BY ERIN DRUMMOND ASSOCIATE CULTURE EDITOR

Dogs and cats are happiest and healthiest when kept indoors, according to the humane society, but not all cats can be kept indoors; feral and stray cats still need warm, dry and well-insulated shelters. In mid-October, Emily Zadjura, a Women’s and Gender Studies student at WVU, began building shelters for cats with equipment found in most households. “Each one requires five things: a foam cooler, a plastic tote the cooler fits inside, a flap for the door (I use old yoga mats), bolts to attach the door, and then it gets stuffed with straw to help make it cozy, dry, and warm without molding.

Each one takes about twenty minutes to build.” The first shelter Zadjura created was for a cat near her home. “Morgantown is overwhelmed with stray, feral, and abandoned cats, including a Siamese cat that a former neighbor simply left behind when they moved—after claiming they would be back to get him.” Zadjura said. “Because he no longer has a house during the cold winters, he needed a safe, warm, dry shelter to live in.” She asked her neighborhood Facebook page for donations of styrofoam coolers, large plastic totes and straw if they had any stashed in garages or attics or basements. “I got a huge response from our awesome community, in-

cluding cash,” Zadjura said. “My mom was also a huge help and chipped into to buy totes and coolers so I could make more.” She received enough supplies to make more than 30 shelters. Though a styrofoam cooler may seem small, according to the Humane Society the shelters must trap the cats’ body heat to warm its interior. If the shelter were too large, it would be difficult to keep warm. Zadjura has a passion for helping animals. According to a September 2015 article by The DA, she’s given a home to more than 100 abandoned and neglected animals. “I run a rescue and also work with many of our local rescues and animal control to help keep healthy, friendly kitties out of

ing shelter the cats, Zadjura found ways to help them even once the weather turns warmer. “In addition to providing a safe shelter for the cats, earn-

ing their trust allows us rescue workers to trap, fix and rehome the cats or return them to their territories,” she said.

Mon Hills gives thanks by hosting benefit concert BY MOLLY TITUS CORRESPONDENT

Mon Hills will show its gratitude on Friday, Nov. 18 by hosting a charity event at the Metropolitan Theatre. During the benefit concert titled “Mon Hills Gives Thanks,” proceeds will go toward the West Virginians affected by the recent flooding over the summer. “A lot of Mon Hills Records students have already participated in a number of flood relief activities through WVU,” said Director of Mon Hills Records, Professor Darko Velichkovski. “But they also felt

that they wanted to make a difference through Mon Hills Records as well.” Proceeds collected will be contributed to WVU’s Dollars for Disaster, which distributes the money to United Way of Greenbrier County, United Way of Southern West Virginia, United Way of Central West Virginia, American Red Cross and the WV Flood Relief GoFundMe site. “There are certain benefits for the flood relief but there are also benefits for the students to experience that their service and their efforts and their work can really make a difference, and that, yes,

for other benefits including one for ALS. “(The flooding in West Virginia) affected a lot of our friends and their families, so being able to help is great,” said Nick Adams, rhythm guitarist for the band. Mon Hills Records recently made an agreement with the city of Morgantown to manage the Metropolitan

Theatre’s programming and operations. In the future, Velichkovski said WVU plans to program many performances and events in hopes of connecting the Morgantown community and the College of Creative Arts, “and to enrich and even further the cultural life of Morgantown.” The agreement also allows

WVU students and other artists to share their art for the community’s enjoyment. General admission is $5 to $10, depending on location of seating. Tickets can be purchased through EventBrite, the Metropolitan Theatre or any Mon Hills Records ticket booths. Doors at the theatre will open at 6:00 p.m.

4 alternative Thanksgiving dishes For vegans, vegetarians and those with food allergies, the holidays can be filled with discomfort instead of excitement over holiday treats. If you or your family members are unsure of how to accommodate your diet during this food-filled time of year, offer these meal suggestions so there can be one more thing to be thankful for next Thursday. By: Abby Humphreys, Blogs Editor

. Risotto (Gluten-Free)

Risotto is a decadent way for those with celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity to indulge over the holidays. Risotto is made using Arborio rice, which contains a type of gluten that doesn’t trigger symptoms of gluten intolerance in most people. If you’re a meat-eater, some risotto recipes also include ham or shellfish that add texture and flavor to the dish.

. Butternut Squash Soup (Vegetarian)

Let’s face it: Nothing is more comforting on a cold day than a warm bowl of soup. Butternut squash’s peak season is autumn, which means using this vegetable in a rich and creamy vegetarian soup is perfect for Thanksgiving. Most recipes only require a few ingredients and take just minutes to prepare. The soup also makes for a great side dish for non-vegetarian members of your family to enjoy.

. Sweet Potato Casserole (Vegan)

With the right recipes, even the most staple Thanksgiving dishes can be altered to suit a vegan diet. A sweet potato casserole can be made with non-dairy butter and coconut oil to keep it creamy, and a crunchy oat crumble can be substituted for marshmallow topping. Best of all, maple syrup and cinnamon are both vegan, which means vegan versions of traditional Thanksgiving dishes don’t always have to sacrifice flavor in order to suit a particular diet.

. Cookies (Diabetic-Friendly)

Seeing the spread of Thanksgiving desserts at family gatherings is likely torture for those watching their blood sugar. However, diabetics can still enjoy holiday desserts if sugar-friendly ingredients are substituted. Using dried fruits like cranberries and cherries provide natural sweetness to oatmeal cookies, and using canned pumpkin puree instead of pre-made pumpkin pie filling allows for the amount of sugar to be controlled in foods like pumpkin cookie bites.

Oﬀense looks to improve entering the ﬁnal stretch of the season

West Virginia vs. Texas

HOLGORSEN CELEBRATES

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR

FOOTBALL As the Mountaineers are vying for their first ever Big 12 title, they understand the offense needs to improve in order to capture the preseason goal. The 24 points scored Saturday was enough to beat Texas (barely), as the Longhorns were within 27 yards of handing WVU its second defeat of the season. But what hurt the team more than anything was turnovers, finishing drives and dropped passes. Yet it wasn’t the team’s issue to begin the game. WVU took a 17-3 lead early in the second quarter and Skyler Howard completed 10 of his first 13 passes, guiding the team down the field early and silencing the Austin crowd. “We played well in the first quarter and then we were just awful,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “That’s 100 percent on me. That’s not good enough to win the Big 12, so I’ve got to reevaluate some things and get better offensively…” WVU finished with four turnovers—three of those stemming from Howard interceptions. Luckily, Texas capitalized on only one of those giveaways, scoring just seven points compared to October, when Oklahoma State scored on three Mountaineer turnovers to hand them their first loss of the season. What the senior quarterback highlighted wasn’t just the decision-making, but rather finish-

Coach Dana Holgorsen throws his arms up in the air signal-

Mountaineer running back Kennedy McKoy rushes for one of his two touchdowns ing a WVU touchdown in the matchup against the Longhorns aginst Texas on Nov. 12. ing drives. The offense has found success moving down the field all season long, ranking No. 19 nationally in yards per game (497). But converting in the red zone is where problems arise at times. WVU ranks No. 67 in the country in that area of the game,and has discussed the importance of finishing inside the 20-yard line since the season started. “Obviously the turnovers, we have to minimize those,” Howard said. “We’ve moved the ball on everybody that we’ve played this year. It’s just we’ve got to finish on those drives. Moving the ball is not the problem.” With the struggles came dropped passes, which often plagued the team and receiving corps last season. Multiple players let the ball hit their hands and fall to the ground, including the always reliable Daikiel Shorts, who is also the teams leading receiver. “We had a couple drops at re-

ceiver, so that definitely messed things up,” Shorts said. “If we have drops at the receiver position, that could move things back for the offense as a whole. We’ve definitely got to work on that and catch everything next week.” Finding improvements in turnovers, finishing drives and dropped passes—the latter not being as much of a problem this year—will be critical in staying in the thick of the conference title race. It will be especially important against first place Oklahoma on Saturday, whose array of playmakers helped move its offense to a No. 9 national spot in scoring. It’s all about the preseason goal of winning a Big 12 title, which hinges on the offense’s adjustments over the final three games of the season. “If we keep playing like this on offense we won’t win the Big 12, and that’s what our goal is,” Holgorsen said.

It marked the seventh straight for the Sooners as they remain undefeated in Big 12 play. West Virginia and Oklahoma State await on the schedule, who both sit one game behind them in the conference standings. Week 12 Matchup: @ West Virginia 2. Oklahoma State (8-2, 6-1 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 2 Oklahoma State’s hopes at a Big

6. TCU (5-4, 3-3 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 6 Off a bye week, the Horned Frogs host an Oklahoma State team that is surging at the right time. A win over the final three games would ensure them a third straight Bowl appearance. Week 12 Matchup: Oklahoma State

12 title run remain intact following a thrilling 45-44 victory over Texas Tech, recording its sixth straight win. Mason Rudolph tossed for 395 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with James Washington for 158 of those yards. A trip to TCU is next on the schedule, who has two of its last three games. Week 12 Matchup: @ TCU 3. West Virginia (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 3 The Mountaineers survived, edging out a 24-20 win at Texas to win their second straight game and improve to 8-1 for the first time since 2007. Their defense forced three turnovers and sacked Texas quarterback Shane Buechele four times. A big home game looms against Oklahoma, the only team WVU has yet to defeat since joining the conference in 2012. Sitting just one game back in the standings, it will likely determine the team’s chances at winning a Big 12 title. Week 12 Matchup: Oklahoma 4. Kansas State (5-4, 3-3 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 5

JOEL WHETZEL / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Skylar Howard celebrates a victory against Texas with the “horns down” sign in Austin on Nov. 12. Two weeks removed from a loss at Oklahoma State, the Wildcats have a prime opportunity to get back on track as they face a Baylor team that is amidst a three game losing streak. Week 12 Matchup: at Baylor 5. Texas (5-5, 3-4 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 4 Despite D’Onta Foreman tying the program with 11 straight

games of 100 rushing yards, the offense recorded its lowest scoring total in a 24-20 loss to West Virginia. They scored seven points off turnovers—the defense forced four—and failed to score on two opportunities in the red zone. Luckily for the Longhorns, they have a perfect opportunity to get back on track against a one win Kansas team. Week 12 Matchup: @ Kansas

7. Baylor (6-3, 3-3 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 7 After starting the season 6-0, Baylor suffered its third straight defeat with a 45-24 loss to Oklahoma. Starting quarterback Seth Russell dislocated his ankle and is likely out for the season. The next matchup on the schedule features Kansas, who is fresh off a bye week and won two of its last three games. Week 12 Matchup: Kansas State 8. Texas Tech (4-6, 2-5 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 8 A missed extra point cost the Red Raiders a shot at overtime, sustaining a 45-44 defeat at Oklahoma State. They have now lost five of their last six heading into a final two game stretch against Iowa State and Baylor, needing

to win both in order to secure a Bowl berth. Week 12 Matchup: @ Iowa State 9. Iowa State (2-8, 1-6 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 9 Behind a strong second half, head coach Matt Campbell secured his first Big 12 win by beating Kansas, 31-24. It ended a five game losing streak that saw the Cyclones lose four of those games by one possession. David Montgomery rushed for a career-high 169 yards and Jacob Park added two touchdown passes, completing 77 percent of his passes. Week 12 Matchup: Texas Tech 10. Kansas (1-9, 0-7 Big 12) Previous Ranking: No. 10 Kansas came close before allowing four second half scores, falling 31-24 to Iowa State. It was the program’s 19th straight defeat to a conference opponent, dating back to 2014. Week 12 Matchup: Texas For more on Mountaineer football make sure to visit http:// TheDAOnline.com/sports
