WVU students show gratitude on “Thankful Tree”

BY KAYLA ASBURY CITY EDITOR Diversity. Love. Family.

Friends.

These are some of the things WVU students are thankful for.

In conjunction with Student Life Events, The Daily Athenaeum hosted a “Thankful Tree” in the Mountainlair Nov. 14-15, and gathered hundreds of student responses to the question, “What are you thankful for?”

According to research by Robert Emmons, the world’s leading scientific expert on gratitude, being thankful can lead to physical, psychological and social benefits.

Additionally, showing gratitude has benefits including increased confidence, empathy and resilience and lowered aggression. Giving thanks also contributes to wellbeing and improved heart health, according to CBS News.

Students wrote their responses on leaves which filled in the bare branches of the trees.

While family, friends and pets were some of the most common answers, responses were made more significant by student’s elaborating on their gratitude.

Jennifer Biebel, a sophomore exercise physiology student said she was thankful for her family, friends and her dog.

“I mean there’s the obvious having a roof on my head and food to eat everyday, I’m thankful for the life that I live,” Biebel said.

Biebel gave the specifics of her gratitude.

“I’m thankful for the relationship I have with my family,” Biebel said. “We’re all really close, I’m really thankful for them. I know that’s cliche to say, but I’m really close with my family.”

Biebel also expressed gratitude for the WVU March-

ing band, “The Pride of West Virginia.”

“I’m really thankful for all of the opportunities that has given to me, because we’re going to Macy’s next week,” Biebel said. “And all of the friends I’ve made in that it’s a really great program.”

“I was a member of Future Farmers of America, It’s been such a big part of my life and I like to educate people about it,” said Becca Johnson, a freshman

biology student.

Johnson also shared her gratitude for her family.

“They push me to be the best I can be,” Johnson said.

Jamie Delman, a sophomore chemical engineering student, said she was thankful for opportunities that she had been provided with, and her animals.

“I’m thankful to go to school and get an education,” Delman said. “For my family, because they support me through every-

International students prepare for upcoming holidays away from home

BY DANIEL BLAIR STAFF WRITER As many WVU students make plans to return home for Thanksgiving, the school’s large community of international students is preparing for a holiday far from familiar comforts.

WVU counts more than 2,000 international students, who hail from 110 countries, according to the Office of International Students and Scholars Services, and many

will be spending their first holiday away from home in the upcoming weeks.

“I was supposed to take a trip to Miami, but one of my friends from France is coming to visit,” said Mathieu Guyon, an exchange student from Grenoble, France. “I’ll show him around Morgantown and the campus and we might go to Pittsburgh one day.”

“It’s not my first holiday away from home and my parents,” Guyon said. “But

“It’s not my first holiday away from home and my parents,” said Mathieu Guyon, an exchange student from Grenoble, France. “But of course I still miss them.” of course I still miss them.”

Permanent international students, as opposed to oneyear exchange students, also must endure the hardships of living far from home.

Many, like Guyon, use the time to further explore the country.

“We’ll either go to Florida or New York,” said Isam Alibrahim, 21, a third-year student from Oman. “It depends on my group,” he said, “I think there are eight of us.”

On his transition to American culture, Alibrahim was, like Guyon, experienced in

being away from home.

“It was hard at first with the language, especially the first six months, but now I am used to it,” he said.

Some international students are fortunate enough to have friends and families in the U.S., offering a diversion to a mostly empty Morgantown social environment.

“I’m not sure what my plans are,” said Omar Albarghouty, a permanent international student from Saudi

Arabia. “I may go visit my sister in Massachusetts.”

Along with foreign students, some U.S. students from distant parts of the country are also forced to improvise for Thanksgiving break.

“I’m staying here and heading to a friend of mine’s house for Thanksgiving,” said senior international studies student and San Francisco native Alonso Reyna. “It’s a good way to save money on flights this time of year.”

College GameDay avoiding Morgantown 2016’s War of Thanksgiving- a isn’t the end of the world volatile mood on a thankful holiday

BY BRANDON RIDGELY

BY BRANDON RIDGELY

OPINION EDITOR

OPINION EDITOR

If you didn’t hear the news, you probably still heard some responses. College GameDay announced over the weekend that it will be heading to Kalamazoo, MI, on Saturday.

ESPN decided a Mid-American Conference game involving a 2-8 University of Buffalo team was more interesting than the clash between (#10) WVU and (#8) Oklahoma, two top 10 teams in the nation.

While it is frustrating that the college sports world found another way to doubt and discount the Mountaineers, there are many silver linings.

First, for the superstitious fans out there, we are dodging a few bad statistics: The last three teams to host GameDay have lost.

And the last time GameDay was here, WVU lost an absolute heartbreaker to Texas Christian University (TCU) in a last second field goal 31-30.

Second, if there’s any Big East pride still beating in the hearts of fans, Western Michigan shouldn’t be seen as an enemy. A big team that’s undefeated and highly ranked playing in a small pond? Sound familiar? Wasn’t that WVU ten years ago?

While it may be easy to mock a smaller conference

While students are buzzing with excitement over the upcoming time off from school, it does unfortunately mean that we are about to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Normally few would dare complain about a celebration of food, but 2016 has thrown normal right out of the window.

This year’s celebration follows what is considered the most contentious election in history. One in which the majority lost and the wounds are still very fresh.

Historically, Thanksgiving is to celebrate the harvest and being thankful for living long enough to see it.

TED S. WARREN / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ESPN College GameDay host Lee Corso, center, wears an Oregon Duck mascot head as he makes his prediction of an Oregon win over Washington in an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013, during College GameDay’s broadcast from Red Square on the University of Washington campus in Seattle. At left is co-host Chris Fowler, and at right is co-host Kirk Herbstreit. from our seat in the upper echelon of the Big 12, remember where we were not so long ago.

And third, for Western Michigan and College GameDay alike, Saturday will feature many firsts.

For the MAC, this event is huge, and this spotlight is very rare.

This will be GameDay regular analyst Lee Corso’s first time wearing either Western Michigan’s or Buffalo’s mascot headgear, making either his 56th different one.

Kalamazoo will be host-

ing its first GameDay ever as Western Michigan becomes the 68th different school to host GameDay, according to ESPNmediazone.com. The MAC has hosted only one College GameDay ever, and only back in 2003.

So yes, those are the positives. And yes, it still sucks. Drink it off at your favorite tailgate, and help the Mountaineers show GameDay this Saturday just how bad a mistake they made.

While it may look tough, America must now once more reap the political seeds it has sewn. And atomic insults hurled over the turkey and mashed potatoes might feel great, but it isn’t a solution.

The nasty nature of politics has already turned social media into a sewer, are we going to lose our dinner tables to it as well?

It’s easy to insult, it’s easy to further the divide, but it is much harder to share the cranberry sauce with family members who vehemently disagree with you. But that’s exactly what we must do.

No voter necessarily agrees with any of the poor decisions of the 2016 candidate he or she supported.

Nana didn’t delete the emails and Paw didn’t appreciate the “locker room talk.”

If this seems preposterous, it’s because in a way, it is.

While someone may have voted for what you perceive to be evil, or what’s wrong with this country, few votes in this election were made from a position of whole-hearted support for a candidate.

While voting for the leader of the free world is something that is very important, condemning family for opposing your views is much more a part of the problem than the answer.

So enjoy the food, just try not to throw it.

On Nov. 16, 1823, politician and industrialist Henry Gassaway Davis, known in the early 20th century as West Virginia’s ‘‘Grand Old Man,’’ was born in Baltimore, MD. Davis worked on a farm until 1843, when he went to work for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad as a brakeman and conductor. Later he was put in charge of the Piedmont, WV terminal of the railroad, and soon went into coal mining and banking in Piedmont. Following his service in the Senate, Davis retired to Elkins, WV, where he resumed banking and coal mining.

LGBTQ+ Center to host “Friendsgiving”

BY EMILY ZEKONIS STAFF WRITER The LGBTQ+ Center opened less than two months ago, and has worked hard to build a close-knit, accepting community.

Now, to stress that everyone has a home within the Center, members of the University and local community are invited to celebrate friendship and unity at its Friendsgiving event at 6 p.m. on Wednesday at the Center in Hodges Hall.

“We recognize that some LGBTQ individuals may not have a relationship with their families,” said Christine Jacobs, the LGBTQ+ center administrator. “So we want to offer this event to all students, faculty, staff and alumni to let everyone know they have a family with us.”

The event is also meant to provide an opportunity for attendees to experience love and support from a variety of people in their own community.

There will be a reading of letters of support for cur-

rent and future LGBTQ students, faculty and staff written by students, faculty and staff.

“I think the largest impact the Center has had since its opening has been being able to provide a physical, institutionally supported safe space that fosters an environment for LGBTQ+ students,” Jacobs said. “[It’s] a place to succeed academically, be themselves, seek resource assistance and participate in a variety of intersectional educational programming.”

Social psychology studies the way people act in social situations, but Elizabeth Cohen considers herself a “social media psychologist,” someone who studies the way people interact on social media.

She spoke with Managing Editor Jennifer Gardner about her work and how social media influenced those who voted in the election.

Q. What is something you are studying right now?

A. I’m working on a research project trying to figure out how Internet memes have maybe reduced our stress during the election. There have been a lot of polls going around saying people have been really stressed out during this election, like losing sleep and having more contentious relationships than usual. People are seeing each other’s political conversations on social media and stuff. Maybe social media highlights our disagreements, but I think there are some things about social media that might bring us together, and so a colleague and I are putting together a research project to study what happens when you show people bipartisan memes.

Q. How can memes bring people together from opposite ends of the political spectrum?

A. It just gives you an opportunity to laugh. Like Saturday Night Live, we’re wondering if memes might reduce our stress a little bit, and also if the exposure to memes reminds us of our common identity as Americans. But we’re curious if it depends on whether or not a Hillary supporter or a Trump supporter shared it or not, and if it only works if someone who is like you shares it. It could mean that memes have this potential but only work if people whose views you agree with share it. What we would like to find is that even when somebody with different political ideologies than you shares one, it can make you feel better that you can both laugh at the same things.

Q. Other than memes, how can we use social media to voice our political beliefs?

A. A lot of times people will get into arguments on Facebook and sometimes they’ll even unfriend people, and so Facebook

Dr. Elizabeth Cohen

Department of Communication Studies Assistant Professor and other social network sites are kind of bringing people into more political conflict than they maybe were used to.

What we were interested in though, is why. What is the difference between the person who decides to engage in a political debate, and not? Specifically, these more negative types of interactions. We’ve found that the people who respond, even though you might think they respond because they were concerned about what the post means for them, it turned out they were more concerned about how it influenced other people.

Q. Can social media have an effect on our political viewpoints?

A. People think that people are using social media to change people’s minds, but really the reason people go on political rants on social network sites is to get reassurance from people who are like-minded.

So if I go on a rant about how Bernie is the greatest guy in the world, I want you to like it because it reaffirms my identity. But let’s say that if I see you have a network of friends that I, for whatever reason, think is going to be more influenced by my post, it is my concern about you influencing their beliefs that is going to motivate me to get involved in the conversation.

Q. Should we avoid social media when it comes to politics?

A. I actually think Facebook and social network sites are a good place for people to get practice articulating and figuring out their own opinions. I think in one way, these platforms allow us to voice our opinion and kind of get a better understanding in our head of how we feel, but the whole point and reason that all of these things have like buttons, shows how much we use these tools for affirmation and for reinforcement of our ideas. I think that’s probably the biggest motivator.

Stress usually comes from reliving the past or worrying about the future. Train yourself to be in the present moment. Rhythmic breathing helps you be in the present and creates calm.

Saturday’s game similar to 1993 WVU-Miami bout

BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS WRITER

FOOTBALL In Morgantown, you still hear old-timers reminisce about 1993.

In Don Nehlen’s 21 years as head coach of West Virginia, the ’93 Mountaineers were one of the best teams he ever had. With star quarterback Jake Kelchner under center, West Virginia went 11-0, won the only conference championship in Nehlen’s career, and delivered West Virginia to the precipice of a national title.

And on Nov. 20, 1993, 70,000 people—nearly 10,000 above capacity— crammed into Mountaineer Field to see the No. 9 Mountaineers face No. 4 Miami.

That afternoon, West Vir-

ginia took its shot at the bigtime, and it didn’t miss—the Mountaineers won 17-14, and the fans charged the field in what was—at that time—the greatest win in the history of the program.

To this day, it’s the last time two teams both ranked in the AP top 10 have faced off on that turf. That will change on Saturday, when No. 10 West Virginia faces No. 8 Oklahoma in a game that has similar gravity and implications of the game from the early 90’s.

Just as it was in 1993, West Virginia comes into this game as the outsider, the underdog, going up against a national power it had beaten in conference play. And while these Mountaineers aren’t undefeated, they have a chip on their shoulder and they feel that outside forces are keep-

Fans stormed the field and tore down the goal posts in celebration following No. 9 WVU’s 17-14 victory over No. 3 Miami on Nov. 20, 1993 at Mountaineer Field. ing them from the top.

In 1993, West Virginia knew it had a shot at the

national title if it won out against Miami and its last regular season opponent,

No. 11 Boston College, which bumped No. 1 Notre Dame from the running the same day as the fateful WVU-Miami clash.

Even so, the team would have needed a miracle, as WVU headed down the stretch knowing the championship was almost definitely going to be decided between one-loss Florida State and Nebraska—a team the polls had kept ahead of WVU, despite the fact the Cornhuskers had a weaker schedule—in the Orange Bowl.

Things work differently now, but the outrage from WVU fans is still the same.

WVU is 8-1, and yet has been ranked far below every other one-loss power conference team in the College Football Playoff rankings.

The Mountaineers will have a chance at glory if they can

upset Oklahoma, but at this point it seems like it will take an act of God to get them in the top four.

On Nov. 20, 1993, it also seemed like it would take an act of God to make the Mountaineers champions.

But when those old-timers look back at ’93, they don’t think about the fact that the Mountaineers lost the Sugar Bowl. They remember beating Miami, and feeling just for a moment like they had the world at their feet.

Most of the students spending their first day of Thanksgiving break at Mountaineer Field weren’t alive last time Morgantown hosted a game like this. But all they have to do is look at 1993 to see what this type of game can mean—and hope that this year’s Mountaineers give them the same kind of memory.

WVU eager to end skid on Senior Night

BY TAYLOR HALL SPORTS WRITER

VOLLEYBALL West Virginia Volleyball (12-15, 3-10 in the Big 12) is looking to bounce back from its three match losing streak in the team’s final home game of the season against No. 4 Kansas on Wednesday in the Coliseum.

In Saturday’s difficult 0-3 loss to Baylor (20-8), the

Mountaineers ended with a .241 hitting percentage, 42 overall team kills and seven blocks. Libero Gianna Gotterba led the defense and also boasted one service ace.

Offensively, Payton Caffrey, Mia Swanegan and Erin Slinde tried their best to get the job done. The scores were close, but unfortunately for the Mountaineers, not close enough as they returned home from Waco with a loss.

“We need to limit our mis-

takes and bring our best on Wednesday,” said WVU head coach Reed Sunahara in an interview with WVUSports. com. “It will be a good challenge for our team.”

Big 12 foe Kansas leads the overall series 11-0. The Jayhawks are also currently ranked fourth in the country, which is their highest rank so far when playing West Virginia.

“Kansas is one of the top teams in the country,” Suna-

hara said. “They’ve made it to a number of NCAA Tournaments, and made it to the NCAA semifinals last season.

There is a reason for that.

The Mountaineers are certainly up for the challenge with a very threatening offense and solid defense. Additionally, many Mountaineers are ranked in the Big 12’s top 10 lists.

Caffrey ranks second in the league in number of kills and fifth in service aces,

Slinde and Haley Roe are ninth and tenth in assists.

Mia Swanegan is first in blocks and Gianna Gotterba is sixth in digs.

Despite a losing record, the Mountaineers are very capable of giving a winning Jayhawk team a run for their money and potentially an upset in Morgantown.

Wednesday will not only be the last home match for the Mountaineers of this season, it will be the final time

that the team’s three seniors will play in the WVU Coliseum. Haley Roe, MaTia Hughes and Hannah Shreve will be honored for Senior Night and escorted by their loved ones before the start of the game.

After facing the Jayhawks, WVU will finish up Big 12 conference play and the 2016 season with matches against TCU and No. 6 Texas next week.
