FallFest 2016

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Cold War Kids

by Erin Drummond Culture Editor As tradition goes, West Virginia University welcomed students back with its annual FallFest, but this year’s event left many students feeling like the tradition was lost. The concert was held Tuesday at the parking lot of the College of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (CPASS) in Evansdale in conjunction with FoodFest. It included performances by rapper Mac Miller, electronic duo Flosstradamus and the indie rock group Cold War Kids. Right after Flosstradamus’ performance, bad weather forced administration to evacuate students from the venue and to the Student Rec Center, where they were told to wait until skies cleared. After an hour of pa-

tiently waiting, students were able to return for a final performance by Mac Miller. Traditionally held downtown on the green turf behind the Mountainlair, students were notified of the change in location a week before the event. The Mountaineer Plaza was reportedly not stable enough to hold the large crowd, according to April Kaull, Assistant Director at University Relations/ News. “If there are any questions about safety, we wanted to make sure we addressed that,” Kaull said. “Frankly because of the access to the PRT and the buses and a lot of the resident halls and the venues themselves being large, we really think this is a good setup.” Students were ex-

pressive about how they felt about the changes. “It’s a shame that the University moved the FallFest to the CPASS building,” said Matthew Beik, a sophomore student. “I, personally, believe the changes received bad publicity and reviews. I really do hope they’ll move it back next year.” Other students believed the new location would be difficult for those who do not live on Evansdale. “I think it’s inconvenient,” said Courtney Mulcare, a junior wildlife and fisheries student. “We’re used to having FallFest Downtown and they’re just changing something we do every year. Getting on the PRT for everyone that lives Downtown just to go to Evansdale is a nightmare.”

Overall, Mulcare was skeptical of the change. “They say (the location change) had to do with the Mountainlair not being stable enough (to hold the event),” Mulcare said, “but they’ve been saying that for years and haven’t done anything to fix it.” Kaitlyn Corey, a senior intermedia and photography student, viewed the change in a different light. While most students would rather have the event returned to its traditional location, she agreed with the move. “I’ve gone to the past three FallFests, and every time I could feel the ground bouncing and I did wonder if it could hold all of the weight,” she said. “However, I feel like the location they changed it to is not a good (choice).”

The indie rock band currently has five studio albums released, along with ten EPs. Their most recent album, “Hold My Home,” dropped in late 2014, and in November 2015, Cold War Kids scored the number one single with their song, “First,” on the Rock Airplay chart. Nathan Willet, lead singer and founding member of the band, believes this is one of the group’s songs that makes their fans feel emotional and vulnerable. Some of the group’s earlier hits include Hang Me Up To Dry (2006), Louder Than Ever (2010) and Miracle Mile (2013). The group lists some of the influences for their soulful, indie-pop sound to include Bob Dylan, Billie Holiday, Jeff Buckley and The Velvet Underground, among others.

Flosstradamus

Also known as “Floss,” the performance consisted of two artists, J2K and Autobot, the electronic duo Floss is known for their sense of fun and high-energy found in every gig they perform. Floss is considered to be a part of the dance genre known as trap music. Having collaborated with Kid Sister, Diplo, Juicy J, The Cool Kids, A-Trak, and DJ Sliink, the DJs are known throughout the music industry. They also produced Iggy Azalea’s “Flexin & Fitnessin” track featuring Juicy J, as well as Mykki Blanco’s “YungRhymeAssassin.”

Mac Miller After releasing his first album and snagging a slot in the West Virginia University’s 2011 FallFest lineup, Mac Miller debuted his single “Blue Side Park”. The song debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s 200 chart. Miller currently has released 11 mixtapes. His most recent album, “GO:OD AM,” features piano music, trap drums, swagger, humor, and more. One of his most wellknown songs is the party anthem, “Donald Trump.” The song has over 100 million YouTube views and sold around 1.25 million downloads. Miller is also known for his collaborations with other artists such as Bub B, Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, and Juicy J.

WVU community responds to state tragedy By Jennifer Gardner When massive floods swept through southern West Virginia in late June, volunteers from around the state stepped in. The West Virginia University community was among the effort. The June 23 flooding left 23 dead, and thousands of homes and businesses damaged. The morning immediately following the disaster, a team assembled. Faculty, staff, students and alumni came together to donate supplies, money and time to communities affected. WVU quickly sent out an email the afternoon of June 24 to rally volunteer efforts, asking students to signup to volunteer through iServe, drop off donations like cleaning supplies and hygiene items and collect monetary donations. “One thing that I was most proud of is that we were able to mobilize very quickly,” said Alexis McMillen, assistant director of Student Engagement and Center for Service and Learning. McMillen said more

than 450 students volunteered and they served more than an estimated 2,000 hours. She said it was important to assess and organize the needs of the affected communities before rallying volunteers and donations. But once the team was able to gather a list of the needed supplies, McMillan said various locations around Morgantown were turned into collection sites. Within two hours of the first collection, nine U-Haul vans were filled and the University scrambled to keep up with the need. McMillen called Stansbury Hall a “supply warehouse.” She said collecting supplies was one of the only ways to help out at the time, since many of the areas were still not accessible. Three days following the flood, a 14-foot trailer was sent to Clay County High School in Clay, WV. This was the first of 12 trailers to be sent. Several more vehicles and seven semi-trucks, each holding about

30 pallets of supplies each, were also sent. Students were encouraged to sign up for day-long trips and volunteer at collection sites. “President Gee has made it clear that we will be by the side of our neighbors and friends in southern WV until they don’t need us anymore,” she said. McMillen said students may continue to sign up and more day-trips would

be planned as they continue to assess the need of relief efforts. As of Aug. 16, iServe provided a waitlist for those still interested in a volunteer day-trip. WVU Medicine gathered and contributed nearly 400 tetanus vaccines for flood survivors. Close to 60 WVU Medicine and WVU Health Sciences physicians, nurses and advanced practice providers were also recruited to provide

emergency medical care. Faculty and staff of the WVU Extension Service used their knowledge of local agencies and organizations to direct affected residents to good sources of assistance, said Steve Bonanno, dean and director of the WVU Extension Service. County offices were able to provide this information to both victims and relief volunteers. After the

initial cleanup, people faced getting their homes and lives back in order, he said. WVU also changed its billing practices to make paying tuition and fees less stressful for students affected by the flooding. Instead of dropping students from their courses if they have not paid, WVU is allowing them to remain enrolled.

Students devour FoodFest By Lena Camilletti West Virginia University held its second annual FoodFest in the Student Rec parking lot, offering a variety of options for students and attendees to choose from, especially freshmen, who are still becoming acquainted with campus eats. Vendors included The Greeks, Garcias, Let’s Taco About It, Hash Browns and New Grounds, Atomic Grill, Hugh Babies, Two Birds Chicken,

Little Donkey, Tin 202 and Soul brothers. Public relations student Haleigh Fields was pleased with the improvement at Garcia’s in comparison to last year. “I picked the BBQ pork tacos from Garcia’s Latin Market. I just saw tacos and I was immediately there, especially pork because that’s my favorite,” she said. “Taziki’s-we can get that pretty much anytime because that’s right

on campus, so it’s just really nice to have something that’s different.” Tin 202 was happy to serve students and get to know the younger community. “It’s exposed us to a lot of the younger crowd that wouldn’t necessarily come that far down on High Street,” said Josh Graham, a Tin 202 employee. In its restaurant, Tin 202 also offers craft “prohibition-era”

cocktails, to those students who can legally drink, of course. The Greeks, Garcias, Hash Browns and New Grounds, Tin 202 and Soul Broth-

ers are all located in downtown Morgantown. You’ll find Two Birds Chicken on Evansdale Campus and Atomic Grill on Greenbag Road.

FoodFest provided a great sense of community for new and returning students before attending the anticipated FallFest.

From the editor’s desk:

the stakes of those involved, but we will do so through new (and hopefully efficient) ways for the times that we live in. Despite these changes, and there are a lot of them, please be assured that The DA will remain true to the reputation it has earned through the hard work of all the editors and staffers who came before. We will still provide our readers and community members with relevant and topical content every day by way of responsible and fair reporting. We will still provide our employees with invaluable on-the-ground experience that they will learn to be crucial as they look ahead to their next few steps after The DA. We will still hold those in the community accountable for their actions, no matter what power they seem to hold, and we will push for honesty and transparency from those around us. We will still strive to present challenging questions to the public through journalism, and hopefully we will succeed in starting difficult yet necessary conversations across our campus and beyond. Just as last year and the years before, our staff, while ever-expanding, is filled with competent, bright and excited Mountaineers who have been working hard on making this time a landmark for DA history. We want anyone looking for a place to call home in Morgantown to find it at The DA, whether as a reader or a staff member, and we want to represent something greater for all of you. I sincerely hope you allow us to do so. Welcome home, Mountaineers. We all have quite a year ahead of us, but know that through it all The DA will be here to help you make as much sense as you can of this wild and wonderful school.

Following months of Mountaineers from around the world proving they really do go first, from Olympic medals in Rio to humanitarian efforts throughout the Mountain state and beyond, WVU students are finally back home in Morgantown. No matter if this is your first semester on campus or your ninth, the excitement held by the entire student body, faculty and community members is impossible to ignore in the first week. There will inevitably be roaring cheers down High Street and through Sunnyside in the upcoming days as students settle back in to their lives in West Virginia and look for a way to express their excitement. For us at The Daily Athenaeum, WVU’s independent student news source, this publication and everything connected to it is our celebration. It is our way of shouting in the streets and letting those around us know of the pride we feel in West Virginia University and Morgantown, and most importantly, the pride we hold in being Mountaineers. For those familiar with The DA, it won’t take long to see the changes we have made within our organization. Along with the changes to our outward image, which includes a shift to a tabloid format instead of our traditional broadsheet layout, and an entirely new logo, we have made bigger, structural changes as well. Moving forward, a physical copy of the paper will be available throughout campus and the town on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Every day of the week we will be working to utilize our digital presence and our website, including our first ever blog Caity Coyne that will give students from all backgrounds the Editor-In-Chief opportunity to have their voices heard around campus. The Daily Athenaeum is no longer a newspaper; it is a news source. We will remain dedicated to accurate and just reporting no matter

Why Mac Miller was a great choice as a FallFest guest By Brandon Ridgely Opinion Editor While these two items aren’t exactly mutually related, one of the biggest stories of this year’s FallFest was its location. Due to structural concerns and damages, the University pushed FallFest from the beautiful greens of the Mountain Lair to the relatively distant Evansdale campus in a parking lot. While this was inconvenient for a great many, and despite some trying weather circumstances, a large group still managed to make it out for a good time. The last three years of FallFest have been headed by a rapper, the last two specifically from Top Dawg Entertainment (or, TDE), a California-based label made up of Hip Hop heavyweights: Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, Isaiah Rashad, and more. In fact, on the day our newest FallFest lineup was announced, I fully

expected to hear about Ab-Soul or Jay Rock making it out, just to continue the trend of Black Hippy members and TDE labelmates running the show. That didn’t happen though. Instead, students were given a lineup headed by Pittsburgh’s own, Mac Miller. With Mac Miller we didn’t get the most buzzing name in Hip Hop, and that’s okay. Not only does Mac bring a ranging sound and great performance, but he came to us as a neighbor of sorts, and for a return performance no-less. For many, when Mac Miller’s name was released with the FallFest 2016 announcement, it was a let-down, especially shown by complaints across twitter. But why not Mac Miller? For many, this was because the beginning of Mac Miller’s career immediately took on the tone of party, success, and good vibes. His first big single released was Frick Park Market, an anthem for this. Immediately, Mac was viewed as that college kid with the frat-like image rapping, or even -SEE MILLER P.8

Opinion: FoodFest comes out on top By Brandon Ridgely FoodFest for our Mountaineer community has proven itself as a platform for many local restaurants to participate in and bring their community closer together. It’s also an opportunity to debut these local stops to new students, and allows these restaurants to compete to see who comes out of the exhibition on top. In being combined effectively with FallFest, FoodFest had to endure the same location changes to the Evansdale campus. This resulted in a fair amount of flak from the community, especially pertaining to this inconvenience for students living downtown. Suddenly, for many, the consistency of the PRT stood between them, good food, and good music. Not a place anyone wants to be. The weather and travel changes didn’t stop the Mountaineer spirit, however, and both events were very well populated with

students. In fact, with the extra space generated with the change in location, students were able to create more environments across the lot for all types of concert goers to enjoy their own ways. You could even watch and enjoy the show from the top of the Evansdale Crossing with a great view and very clearly still hear the performances below. Those yearning to be in the heart of the action had a great amount of space to get closest to the stage, those preferring a distance had plenty of length of curb to sit, and those seeking spots to stand independent of the chaos while still clearly seeing the performers had many places to select from. All in all, there was seemingly little bad with the change beyond the obvious travel concerns. While the asphalt was unforgiving in the early sunlight, as early as 6:00 pm, the weather ushered in a stop to that

with strong cloud cover over the top of the festivities. Overall, the Evansdale location allowed for the event to rock a more spacious and relaxed vibe than the elegant yet smaller greens of the Mountainlair had done before. With the concerns relieved for many, the stage was clear for a great night of music, food, and competition. While it is always friendly competition, the restaurant coming out on top can secure huge gains in dedicated fans. With this in mind, the piles of eager students circling the booths represent significant potential growth. For this, the night of hard-fought culinary posturing was set to begin. The strongest restaurants represented with the most attention, lines, and even available food goes to the two barbecue restaurants participating, Hugh Baby’s and Soul Brothers. This was most

evident from the levels of attention each participant kept, and the longest customer lines managed while still keeping them moving. The most popular item overall from Foodfest certainly seemed to be Soul Brother’s BBQ Chicken sandwich and chips, which could be seen on plates all around the event. Despite the large lines these two restaurants maintained, the many other participants kept steady lines of interest as well, and they almost all enjoyed surges at some point in the night. In the end, Foodfest 2016 defied many expectations, and fought through public flak to help facilitate a wonderful night for the WVU community at large. As well, it turns out that barbecue is good. As if we hadn’t known all along.

cut and paste of another Pittsburgh-based star, Wiz Khalifa. While these early days were some of Mac’s most popular and visible, they aren’t so wholly indicative of the music made and road taken since, something demonstrated at FallFest. if listeners hadn’t given Mac a chance since, they were definitely surprised at some of the new material they heard. In the years following these initial successes, Mac has run the gambit of tone in music, keeping a dedicated fan-base producing and creating some of the most interesting and wonderfully unique songs and mixtapes out. In fact, plenty of them, at 13 mixtapes and 3 stu dio-albums released already in the 24 year old’s career. Through copious mixtapes and features in lieu of a traditional focus

on albums, Mac has exercised the creative freedom to cover his extreme lows, both in tone and in subject, and his highest highs, in all of the contexts those words invite, and often does so without creative restrictions albums enforce. Beyond just this resume and context, Mac proved he isn’t the cookie cutter fill-in that many initially accused him of being, and that he definitely deserved the honor of hosting FallFest once again. Coming up from Pittsburgh, Mac Miller came to us a big name, great musician, and neighbor, something rare in our neck of the woods in the world of Hip Hop. This was something the WVU community got to enjoy in droves at FallFest, alongside a strong genre-spanning lineup, heavy storms be damned.

Mountaineers Go First in Rio Olympics

By Tanner Ballard Ginny Thrasher and Nicco Campriani have both managed to capture Olympic gold in Rio during separate rifle competitions. Thrasher, a sophomore engineering student, was the first to claim victory when she competed in the 10m air rifle event on Saturday, August 6th. This was just another accolade in a year full of accomplishments for Thrasher. “This has been an incredible experience for Ginny,” said WVU head coach Jon Hammond, in an interview with wvusports.com. “To walk away from the Games with an Olympic Gold medal is incredible.” Despite not starting on WVU’s travel team, Thrasher came into her own as the season moved along, eventually joining the travel team and becoming the best shooter on one of the best rifle teams in America. Coming into the Olympics as the 23rd ranked shooter in the world, Thrasher showed she was not to be overlooked.

Initially fighting through the qualification stage that boasted 50 shooters, Thrasher made it to the eight-woman final stage. Thrasher began her final round with a perfect score of 10.9, and continued to dominate from there, finishing with a final score of 208.00, a full point ahead of Du, the 2004 and 2008 gold medalist in the same event. “The impact and significance of it all, given that (Thrasher’s) medal was the first of the Rio Games, has added to the publicity, which has been great for Ginny, the WVU rifle program, West Virginia University and NCAA rifle,” Hammond said. This past Thursday, Campriani emerged victorious in the men’s 10m air rifle competition with a final round score of 206.1, beating out the likes of Serhiy Kulish from Ukraine (204.6) and Vladimir Maslennikov of Russia (184.2). Before making it to the final round of eight competitors,

Campriani achieved an Olympic record by scoring 630.2 in the qualifying rounds, placing him in first place for the final. Campriani, who graduated from WVU with a bachelor’s degree in industrial

engineering, made history for the University by helping them sweep the air rifle events for the first time. To add to the Mountaineers’ dominance, Campriani defended his title in the 50m

three position rifle event by scoring 458.8 in the final round, beating out Sergey Kamenskiy of Russia and Alexis Raynaud of France. After his latest victory, Campriani became the most decorated Olympian in WVU history, winning his third gold medal in just as many Olympics. With that, the Mountaineers’ gold medal count for Rio is at three. This is the first Olympic Games in which two Mountaineers have won a gold

medal, thus bringing the University’s tally of gold medals all-time to seven, and with these two young stars excelling, the future looks bright for the Mountaineers.

Askew-Henry done for season, WVU looks to find replacement By Chris Jackson Just three weeks before the season opener against Missouri, the Mountaineers defense lost one of its critical pieces. Junior free safety Dravon Askew-Henry suffered a season-ending ACL injury during practice last Wednesday, creating a similar problem as last year when star Karl Joseph’s season ended abruptly in October with a knee injury. “When we found out yesterday (Friday), me and Gibby (Defensive Coordinator Tony Gibson) were in the locker room and we both about puked because it was the same thing as last year,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “He was back with the doctors and we went back there and talked to him.” Askew-Henry was one of only three returning starters on defense, one that lost numerous players to graduation and the NFL Draft – highlighted by Joseph going No. 14 overall to the Oakland Raiders. And Askew-Henry was emerging into a

leader on a replenished defense, eager to build off his first two seasons. He was named a True Freshman All-American in 2014 by ESPN, starting all 13 games and tallying two interceptions. Last season, he played a team-high 1,105 snaps and started all 13 games once again. Now, it’s time for head coach Dana Holgorsen and the Mountaineers to find his replacement. Senior bandit safety Jeremy Tyler impressed while seeing action at Askew-Henry’s free safety spot in Saturday;s scrimmage, recording a pair of interceptions off senior quarterback Skyler Howard. However, a little over two weeks remain before a decision needs to be made. Junior college transfer Toyous Avery is listed as Askew-Henry’s backup on the depth chart and is seeing increased reps there as well. Jarrod Harper, Tyler’s backup, remains one of the options after replacing Karl Joseph for the final nine games last season.

Khairi Sharif has also seen numerous snaps at Free Safety. “Right now it’s kind of safety by committee,” said WVU safeties coach Matt Caponi. “We have some really good athletic players who understand what we’re doing, so we can rotate some guys around and move some guys around. Nothing is set in stone right now. Just trying to feel with getting our best three starters out there.” Shifting cornerbacks to the safety position also remains a possibility, but Holgorsen believes they have plenty of options and doesn’t know if that

will be necessary. “I think a couple of them possibly could move if we needed them to, but I think we’ve got some options,” Holgorsen said. “We’ll line up and see how they’re doing.” Without Askew-Henry on the field, teammates expect him to carry the same leader and coaching mentality on the sideline similar to Joseph last year. His budding experience the past two seasons can help those with lesser experience transition to a larger role. “He’s seen how much of a leader Karl was last year through his situation,” Tyler said.

“It’s bad to say, but he can pick up from that situation as a leader still talking from the sideline and still helping us out.” Until then, the Mountaineers are playing for their injured teammate. It’s devastating news to a team and more importantly a player that Holgorsen believed could depart a year early and earn a spot in the NFL. All they can do right now is play for No. 6. “You’re heart goes out for him,” Harper said. “We just wish for the best for him, praying for him. I talked to him yesterday (Friday). He’s in good

spirits. All we can do is pray for him. Every time we come out and take this field, play for six.”

Holgorsen looks to roots, improve WVU air attack By David Statman In 2015, the West Virginia University football team ran the ball nearly 60 percent of the time, and while the splits made sense—the Mountaineers had one heck of a running back in junior Wendell Smallwood—you would have been forgiven for thinking that the whole thing just felt a little bit off. Mountaineer head coach Dana Holgorsen will take yards and points wherever and however he can get them. But no matter how much he runs the ball, Dana Holgorsen will always be associated with the air raid. You see, Dana Holgorsen is as true a disciple of the air raid as there can be. He learned directly from the originator of the pass-heavy offensive system, Hal Mumme, first as a player at Iowa Wesleyan, and later

in his first assistant coaching job at Valdosta State. And more than 20 years and 1,400 miles from Mumme’s first deployment of the air raid in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, it was Holgorsen who brought the system to its zenith, when his Mountaineers dropped 70 points on Clemson in the 2012 Orange Bowl in Miami. It just doesn’t feel like a Dana Holgorsen team if the ball isn’t in the air. And in a Big 12 that has turned into an offensive arms race, Holgorsen knows that if his team is going to compete this fall, he might have to return to his roots. “We have to improve in the pass game,” Holgorsen said. “Averaging 35 points a game and being a top 20 offense isn’t good enough in this league. We have to move the ball a little bit more, score a little bit more

points if we want to be in contention to win it.” Holgorsen doesn’t have Smallwood to lean on anymore. What he does have is a senior quarterback, Skyler Howard, and a group of young receivers that he calls the fastest he’s ever worked with. West Virginia displayed that speed and explosiveness last season in a passing game that was largely big play-or-bust. Receivers like junior Shelton Gibson showed the ability to take the top off any defense in the country, but only senior inside receiver Daikiel Shorts was a truly consistent target – Gibson, for example, only caught about 46 percent of the passes thrown his way in 2015. And ever since the air raid’s most primordial origins, the system has been characterized by a steady

tempo of short and intermediate passes to a variety of targets, not chucking the ball downfield. The big plays are a plus, but the fundamentals have to be stronger. “We have big play potential,” Holgorsen said. “You all saw that last year. It’s the

allow him to settle into an easier rhythm in the pocket. “I get to sit back there and get the ball to our playmakers,” Howard said. “I don’t have to get the ball out of my hands right now like some of the games last year, just catch and release. It allows me to sit back there and pinpoint my target and put it on him.” On Saturday, however, West Virginia’s passing offense looked woefully out-of-sync in the Mountaineers’ first major intrasquad scrimmage of fall camp. In 10 drives, West Virginia’s first team offense produced only three points and

five turnovers – three of them were interceptions thrown by Howard, two of which were returned for touchdowns. On that afternoon, battling blazing heat at Milan Puskar Stadium, the West Virginia passing offense showed just how far it still needs to go in the next few weeks. With starting running back Rushel Shell sidelined with a concussion, the Mountaineer offense threw the ball on the vast majority of its first-team reps, and ended the day with almost nothing to show for it but criticism from coaches. Airing the ball out is

in Dana Holgorsen’s blood, and beefing up the passing game remains the No. 1 priority, despite last Saturday’s stumbles. And if the Mountaineers are to show any glimpses of the offensive heights they can reach with the air raid, they’ll need Howard to take over. And to his credit, Howard—as is his custom—will prepare himself to do so to the best of his ability. Howard is an incessant note-taker – it’s a habit he’s carried with him since his first days watching film at his high school’s fieldhouse in White Settlement, Texas. Heading

into his final season at West Virginia, he has one particular note that’s sticking in his mind. “Right now, it’s just one note, one word: Completions,” Howard said.
