WVU chapter recognizes leaders on campus and in Morgantown

BY KAYLA ASBURY CITY EDITOR

The WVU collegiate chapter of NAACP hosted its sixth annual Image Awards Thursday evening.

“The person or organization that receives an Image Award has in some fashion embodied the goals of the NAACP,” said Yasmeen Stubblefield, WVU NAACP president.

The awards are based on the national Image Awards, which recognize outstanding people of color in film, music and literature. The West Virginia Chapter of the NAACP uses a similar format, but instead, honors exceptional advocates within the University.

The event included a dinner, silent auction and performances

by Joshua Ash, Chris Cunningham, Iahnna Henry and Revive Collective, Chris Allen, WVU Hip Hop Team and Lamar Riddick.

“I think the opportunity for our minority communities to be recognized for doing good work and good deeds is important.”

—WVU President E. Gordon Gee “I think every person wants to know they’re valued and recognized,” said WVU President E. Gordon Gee at last year’s Image Awards. “I think the opportunity for our minority communities to be recognized for doing good work and good deeds is important.”

Funds from ticket sales, the silent auction and raffle tickets support NAACP programming at WVU. “This evening will honor those who have achieved much success and those who respect, understand, value and embrace all aspects of diversity while willing to advocate for social justice to uplift the WVU campus and community,” said WVU NAACP Vice President Miguel Henriquez.

Student working to create new study abroad scholarship

BY AMY PRATT STAFF WRITER

A new student-funded scholarship might soon be available for those looking to study abroad.

Garrett Burgess, a junior at WVU, is working with SGA and WVU’s Office of Global Affairs to create a scholarship in which each student would opt to allocate money from their tuition to fund.

“It’s a support system for students,” Burgess said.

“It’s difficult now for students to find the resources and funds to study abroad.

In my opinion it’s one of the most valuable experiences

you can have as a University student. I think it’s important that the students can come together and voluntarily donate the money if they feel they’re interested in supporting other students.”

Burgess himself has studied abroad in Latvia, Lithuania and France during his time at WVU. During SGA elections in March, students who voted were asked on their ballots whether they would support the scholarship and optional tuition increase, and the referendum passed.

Burgess began working on this scholarship while he served as an SGA Sen-

“It’s difficult now for students to find the resources and funds to study abroad.”

— Garrett Burgess, WVU junior ator last year. Now that he is no longer on the Senate, he is working with current SGA Senator Brenna Leasor to push the scholarship through.

While creating and implementing the scholarship is still in the preliminary stages, Burgess hopes to get it on the Fall 2017 semester bill, so the scholarship can then be available in Spring 2018. The scholarship must also be approved by the Board of Governors.

A similar scholarship has been successful at the

University of Illinois, according to William Brustein, WVU vice president for Global Strategies and international affairs and former associate provost for International Affairs at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Through Illinois 4 Illinois, or I 4 I, students choose to add $5 to their tuition bill to fund a study abroad scholarship. In its first year, the I 4 I raised $300,000, Brustein said.

OPINION

College provides environment for spiritual realization Critical thinking skills taught at colleges yield necessary groundwork as millennials shift away from organized religion STAFF WRITER

Think back to when you were getting ready for college. Sure you thought of the location, the standard of education and other benefits, but were you thinking about your religious or spiritual needs? For some of us, it might’ve never crossed our minds. That’s because, more and more, researchers are identifying a trend in our generation: we are increasingly abandoning organized religion, identifying instead as atheist, agnostic or unaffiliated.

According to the most recent data from UCLA’s American Freshman study, one of the leading annual studies on student norms and lifestyles, 70.5 percent of students identify with a specific religion. It is still very much the overwhelming majority.

When students who identify with a specific religion come to this campus, they have at least 30 student organizations to choose from representing a variety of faiths, and that’s not including other unaffiliated community organizations.

But, on the flipside, this leaves 29.5 percent of students not identifying with any religion at all, a steady increase from previous years.

“College fosters questioning, especially any kind of authority. College, for many, is where faith meets some of its harshest scrutiny.”

This continued increase could be because college and its environment may not necessarily be so compatible with organized religion.

Religious practice is often rooted in obedience to a specific text or teaching.

In college, however, one of the main goals is to teach and enhance critical thinking skills for students. For research papers you are asked to take sides, and you are asked to use multiple supporting lines of thought to do so, considering opposite ideas as well.

College fosters questioning, especially any kind of authority. College, for many, is where faith meets some of its harshest scrutiny.

That kind of behavior can affect all aspects of students’ lives, and questioning the underlying authority or teachings of texts can certainly be a problem depending on how you see and utilize religion. It could present a small or major problem depending on the faith.

When talking to a student from the Religious Studies Club, a secular club that looks at the philosophy

of religion, I was told that some students experience profound changes in their worldview because of college. While religion is by no means a target of universities, it seems universities reinforce traits that lead to questioning faith.

This may also explain another trend many people are now documenting in our generation, a trend moving away from religious fervency and specificity. Many young people who are not participating in organized religion still consider themselves spiritual.

The drop in organized religion may also be because, on campus, we are exposed to a greater variety of ideas. It is the frontier for new ideas to form, and an open marketplace of thought. This environment can open students minds, making them more willing to embrace or interact with ideas they perhaps weren’t familiar or comfortable with before. Sometimes even ideas they may have never heard anywhere else.

There’s plenty of room between devout follower and outright refuser, and millennials are increasingly finding themselves in

the middle.

Think about, for example, the integration of practices that may seem innocuous, things like yoga.

Yoga is taught in the Rec Center and the Mountain Lair, but also set in specific religious beliefs. Nonetheless, students embrace it.

While talking to Dr. Alex Snow, a religious studies professor here at WVU, he told me about tak-

ing groups of students to Moundsville’s Palace of Gold to celebrate and participate in a Hindu festival.

Despite the students not identifying as Hindu, they still joined in the celebration of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. While critical thinking skills may undermine strict obedience to religion, it can help when tackling similar life questions.

It appears that college gives students not only the ability, but also the willingness to question their faith and form understandings outside of strict teachings.

While there’s nothing wrong with continuing to devoutly practice your faith on campus, students seem to be increasingly comfortable branching out and finding their inspiration in other places.

Starport Arcade and Pub opens under Bent Willey’s

BY JEFFREY SCOTT STAFF WRITER

For kids who grew up with a pocketful of quarters and a ski ball in their hand, the newly opened Starport Arcade and Pub is virtual paradise, filled with vintage video games, cold beer and more pinball machines than you can shake a flipper at.

The arcade opened on April 1 underneath the nightclub Bent Willey’s, and its unique atmosphere has drawn in far more families than your traditional dive bar.

While there’s a distinct love of the past in Starport, a few things set it apart from your childhood arcade.

The arcade is has a fully

stocked bar and restaurant, serving pizza, burgers and other pub food.

“It’s an alternative to your traditional bar,” said manager Chris Strakal. “You’re not going to find anywhere else like this anywhere close to here.”

Generations of arcade goers could be seen having a good time together, with parents helping their kids share in a little bit of their own childhood.

Starport’s décor includes comic covers, movie posters and retro artwork in every hue of the rainbow plastering the walls. Flickering screens of games, like Mrs. Pacman and Centipede, bask everything in a neon blue glow, and the sounds of metal balls banging against bum-

pers in the pinball tables fill your ears.

The pinball machines range from the contemporary Game of Thrones to the nearly 20-year-old Dracula filling the floor. It’s the largest selection in the state, with weekly tournaments for pinball wizards to show their skills.

Whether or not drinking will actually improve your arcade game skills varies from person to person, but passionate people will swear their pinball game is strongest when they “flip ‘n booze.”

Despite it being open less than a week, WVU students are already catching on.

“Who doesn’t like video games and booze?” said Ol-

Rush Hour is one of the games in the new Starport Arcade and Pub located under Bent and Willey’s. ive Loy, a sophomore theater student. “That sounds like the perfect way to end the semester.”

While there are plenty of places in Morgantown to drink, there’s nowhere else in the city quite like Starport.

Other bars may have a dart board, or even a pinball machine or two, but Starport is built around the games.

Sigma Alpha hosts fundraiser for West Virginia flood victims

BY EMILY ZEKONIS

ASSOCIATE CULTURE EDITOR Students are invited to partake in some “puppy love” to help raise funds for West Virginia flood victims.

WVU’s agricultural sorority, Sigma Alpha, will host a “Smooch a Pooch” social media fundraiser on April 21 to benefit flood victims in Clay County.

Pups will be posted outside of the Mineral Resources Building for students to take a smooch picture with for $1. The

student who posts the best photo on Instagram will win a gift card.

“The dogs that will be at our Smooch a Pooch event all belong to members in the sorority,” said Hannah Clark, Sigma Alpha’s philanthropy chair.

“The students seem to really enjoy being able to get attention from a dog on campus.”

Sigma Alpha is WVU’s professional agricultural sorority, but they accept all majors. There currently have 54 active sisters with rush in the spring and fall

semesters for new members looking to join.

“Our sorority is made up of four pillars: scholarship, leadership, fellowship, and service,” Clark said. “We meet on Monday nights to talk about everything that is going on in our chapter.”

Sigma Alpha partakes in a wide variety of community service projects throughout the year including road clean ups, volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House, the Rosenbaum House and local nursing homes.

All profits from the

“Smooch a Pooch” fundraiser will go to those impacted by the West Virginia flood, donations will also be accepted by Sigma Alpha through April 21.

“We are always looking for new ways to help out our community,” Clark said, “This semester we have been focusing on raising money for families in Clay County, West Virginia whom suffered from the flood last summer. We have had multiple bake sales as well as sold t-shirts, and now we have Smooch a Pooch!”

What is Millennial Pink? An Investigation

BY ALAINIA CONRAD FASHION COLUMNIST

“Millennial pink.” If you’ve gone shopping or been on the Internet any time during the last two years, you know this color.

The color, also called “Tumblr pink” à la the popular soft grunge/pastel goth aesthetic of the site in recent years, was originally identified as a light pink, but has expanded to include almost every variation of the hue.

Similar to Rose Quartz, one of the 2016 Pantone Colors of the Year, this particular shade of pink was popular among streetwear brands, eventually taking over designer collections, furniture, restaurant and store interiors, beauty products, advertisements, album and single covers (hello, Drake’s “Hotline Bling” and all of the resulting merchandise inspired by the cover) and the entirety of the Instagram app.

On the runwways, millennial pink has been seen in the spring 2017 shows of Céline, Fenty x Puma, Oscar de la Renta and Fendi, and in the recent fall 2017 shows of Calvin Klein, Nina Ricci, Prada, Gucci and Miu Miu. So what is it about this particular shade that makes it so attractive to

the millennial generation? An article by Lauren Schwartzberg for New York Magazine (“Why Millennial Pink Refuses to Go Away,” 2017) cites its new found gender-neutral appeal and nostalgia factor reminiscent of eighties and early 2000s fashions that have seen a pop culture rebirth, as well as the color’s general calming and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Embrace the softer side this spring by pairing millennial pink with

other pastel tones and light neutrals. For a more brazen and colorful approach, try the color with shades of green, orange or purple. Add some sparkle to an all-pink ensemble with metallic gold, rose gold, bronze and silver accessories, or wear it on shiny satin.

Put on your rose-colored glasses and start seeing the world—and your spring wardrobe— in millennial pink, the freshest “it” color of the moment.

New players making an impact for WVU

BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER

WOMEN’S SOCCER During National Signing Day in February, the West Virginia women’s soccer team signed nine new players for the 2017 season.

Despite four seniors departing from a team that made a run to the national championship game, the Mountaineers have more than enough returning talent and incoming players to make up for the losses.

Nine of 11 starters returning for 2017 is the key to making another deep run this season. Last season, WVU may have had a

more talented first 11, but this year’s roster is starting to look like it may have more depth.

“Our spring season is all about development for our players,” said WVU assistant coach Marisa Kanela. “It’s our time to develop both technically, tactically, but also physically. They get a lot of time with our strength coach and do a lot of things that are going to continue to make them better athletes and perform on the field.”

With soccer being a global game, WVU’s nine signees come from Spain, England and New Zealand, as well as from up-and-down the east coast.

Two other new signees are

already making an impact and have seen minutes in the two spring games WVU played so far.

Isabella Coombes and Malia Kaleiohi are early enrollees, with each joining the team at the beginning of the semester in January and participating in spring practice.

Coombes, a midfielder from New Zealand, has played considerable minutes in the second halves of both spring games. She arrived in Morgantown after playing for two years on the New Zealand Women’s U-20 National Team.

“Well, it’s kind of funny because Izzy, coming in from New Zealand’s, already here,” Kanela said. “She is

part of that class. She has a little bit of an edge from that perspective. I think that will show well for her.”

Kaleiohi, also a midfielder, but from San Diego, California, is the younger sister of current WVU forward Heather Kaleiohi.

“But it’s exciting to see the level of talent that we bring in each year and if they step into a role, which is why it’s so nice that Izzy came in early,” Kanela said.

The WVU coaching staff is high on the whole class and thinks that some of the later arrivals can make an impact right away once they arrive on campus.

Lauren Segalla, a forward from Salisbury, Connecticut,

scored a school-record 120 goals during her career at Housatonic Valley Regional High School and was named the MaxPreps Player of the Year in 2014.

“I think Lauren Segalla has an opportunity to come in ready to make an impact,” Kanela said.

One of the stars of the class is Lois Joel, a defender from England. She will arrive on campus after spending three years playing for the U-17 England squad. Currently, she’s a member of Chelsea FC’s academy and has spent time with Watford FC’s and Arsenal FC’s academies as well.

“And then Lois, who has some national team experi-

ence as well, and plays for England,” Kanela said. “I think those would be two players that will definitely have great opportunities.

But I mean all the girls are athletic kids. If they come in ready, anything’s possible.”

Segalla, Joel and the rest of the signees will arrive on campus later this summer to begin preparation for the fall regular season.

This weekend, WVU is set to host Xavier at 3 p.m.

Sunday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The Musketeers finished 7-11-1 last season, including 1-8 in the Big East Conference. However, they are coming off a 3-1 win over Wright State this past weekend.

Rotation develops for surging WVU in Dotson’s absence

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR

BASEBALL With junior pitcher Conner Dotson out with an arm injury, West Virginia’s starting rotation embodies a different feel heading into the weekend against Kansas.

Dotson—who sustained the injury before last Sunday’s game at then-No. 23 Oklahoma State—will be replaced by freshman Kade Strowd, according to WVU head coach Randy Mazey on Tuesday. He posted a 5.53 ERA while accumulat-

ing a 3-3 record in his first six starts this season.

Now, it’s Strowd’s turn.

The freshman has shown lots of promise, posting a 1.93 ERA and helping the Mountaineers (17-10, 4-2) to a victory at OSU in his first start.

“Kade Strowd pitched pretty well in Stillwater, so we’ll probably flip him the ball this Sunday and give him an opportunity to step up and take Dotson’s place,” Mazey said.

Before Strowd makes an appearance this Sunday, he will overlook a pair of players that have been in the

weekend rotation all season. Junior right-hander BJ Myers will start if off at 6:30 p.m. Friday and sophomore Michael Grove is slated for Saturday against the Jayhawks (13-15, 3-3).

The three are facing a Kansas team that—although boasts the conference’s lowest batting average—is winners of two straight and saw shortstop Matt McLaughlin tally four hits Tuesday against Missouri State.

Alongside pitching, WVU also enters with another advantage in the form of its bats. The Mountaineers of-

fense is on a tear recently, becoming an integral part in the team’s recent fourgame win streak and a No. 9 spot in the latest RPI. During that four-game stretch, WVU is churning above eight runs per game, including a 14-run mark in Tuesday’s victory over Marshall. At the head of that charge is senior Jackson Cramer, whose five home runs are the second most in the Big 12.

“We’ve got a really good offensive team if we don’t get in our own way,” Mazey said.

But as West Virginia finds

“We’re on a mission to prove to everybody that we’re one of the best teams in the country.”

-Chase Illig, catcher its stride both at the plate and the mound, much of its focus remains on continuing the winning ways. The team witnessed how important it is to stay consistent and ride momentum last year, falling just short of the NCAA Tournament despite its climb to the Big 12 Championship game.

It’s about the motto Mazey delivered to his players before this season: show

that you belong.

“Momentum in college baseball is the biggest thing,” said WVU redshirt freshman catcher Chase Illig. “Last year the guys won however many games the last half and that carried onto the Big 12. We’re on a mission to prove to everybody that we’re one of the best teams in the country.

So far, I think we’ve done a pretty good job proving it.”
