Marchers take to Morgantown to advocate for women’s rights

A LOOK INSIDE

BY KAYLA GAGNON STAFF WRITER

Hundreds of protesters draped in red cloaks marched through Morgantown to advocate for intersectional women’s rights.

“This is an opportunity for us to come together as a community and to articulate the issues that are going on and to be able to make changes for what we want to see,” Kalo Sokoto, a WVU grad and one of the marchers, said.

Organized by Mountaineers for Progress and Morgantown National Organization for Women, the march was themed after Margaret Atwood’s novel “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which is about a grim future where women have no rights and are used for reproductive purposes.

On the weekend of the first anniversary of the Women’s March in D.C., hundreds of similar marches were happening around the world.

To begin Morgantown’s march, several speakers warmed up the crowd.

One of the speakers, Kendra Fershee, a WVU law professor and congressional candidate, talked about the importance of electing female and working class to public office.

These people are “more in touch with the day-to-day challenges that we have in West Virginia,” she said.

Danielle Walker, a Morgantown resident and candidate for the West Virginia House of Delegates, also spoke of better representation in government.

“It’s time that we see candidates that resemble us,” said

Emily Thompson, a field organizer for Planned Parenthood, attended the march to advocate for women’s choices in their repro-

ductive health.

“We provide lifesaving services that people rely on, and I think there’s some misconceptions about Planned Parenthood,” Thompson said. “It’s important to spread the word about the services we provide and how important it is to so many patients.”

Bill would allow police to First winter session a success enter private clubs, bars classes University anticipates another winter

BY DOUGLAS SOULE ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

A bill in the West Virginia legislature would allow police to enter private clubs and bars that are open to the public.

Currently, officers are unsure whether they can enter private clubs and bars without a West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Commissioner officer or a warrant, according to Delegate Barbara Fleischauer, D-Monongalia, the lead sponsor of the House Bill 2129.

“The current enforcement is ridiculous,” Fleischauer said.

In the state code, ABCC agents are granted authority to inspect private clubs.

The ABCC can revoke the licenses of establishments that do not meet compliance, such as serving alcohol to minors.

This bill specifies that the authority granted to the ABCC “does not limit or restrict the authority of local law enforcement to enter any public area on or adjacent to any private club or from taking other appropriate police action or investigation to enforce the underage drinking laws of this state.”

Fleischauer said the bill would not apply to private

Display shelf at the Morgantown Brewing Company. clubs which only allow admission to members and guest of members.

“If [a bar or club] is open to the public and they don’t charge membership dues, and they don’t keep track of their members, then it would be open to the public,” Fleischauer said. This means police could enter that establishment.

The bill passed the House twice in recent years, but has so far failed to get through the Senate.

After being introduced in the House, the bill was re-

ferred to the House Judiciary Committee.

Morgantown Police Chief Ed Preston said over email he could not comment extensively on House Bill 2129 because he “testified before the House Judiciary on this bill last year and may be asked to again.”

“The current legislation is antiquated and does not comply with what is actually occurring with ABC licensees, as admitted by the ABCC,” Preston said. “All the bill actually does is clarify the rules and allow officers to be present anywhere

the public may be present, which has already been established by the US Supreme Court.”

Preston did not respond by publication time to a question about to which U.S. Supreme Court case he was referencing.

West Virginia University Police Chief Bob Roberts said the current system means less resources are devoted to enforcing underage drinking laws. “[The ABCC’s] staffing is smaller, so they don’t really have the resources that the local police departments such as Morgantown and other agencies would have,” Roberts said.

“The more eyes we can have on something, the more impact we can have on it.”

Roberts said this bill would also help law enforcement prevent over-drinking in private clubs. Under House Bill 2129, law enforcement would be doing the same things the ABCC does, such as checking for compliance within private clubs, according to Roberts.

For those worried about the bill, Fleischauer said, “No one has any reason to worry who’s following the law.”

The Alcohol Beverage Control Administration was unable to comment due to the pending legislation.

State candidate plans to stand up for WVU

BY DOUGLAS SOULE ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Ralph Baxter, a contender for West Virginia’s first District U.S. Representative seat in the 2018 election, said he will stand up for West Virginia University. “[WVU] is one of the great assets of the state of West Virginia,” Baxter said. “It’s really one of its shining lights.”

Baxter said as a member of Congress he would make sure universities in West Virginia would be properly considered in discussions for grants and projects.

“I want to make sure if I’m elected to be the representative of the first district that the resources are made available to WVU to be the best that it can be,” Baxter said.

Baxter, the former CEO of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, an international law firm, was once a sixth grade teacher.

Baxter said “education is vital for everyone’s opportunity to

live the american dream.”

While not everyone needs to go to college or a four-year university, Baxter said those who work hard should have an opportunity to do so.

In 2002, Orrick’s Global Operations Center opened in Wheeling, W.Va. “Since we brought Orrick to Wheeling, we’ve together, the people in Wheeling, W.Va., have created more than 1,500 high paying, clean, safe jobs on one street,” Baxter said.

“What we have accomplished there, together, can be done in every other part of the first district and throughout most of the state.”

Baxter said his position at Orrick and his experience in creating jobs will have him well-prepared as a U.S. Representative.

Baxter said West Virginia should be “second to no one in the world of energy,” including coal, oil, gas and renewable.

While manufacturing jobs should continue to increase in West Virginia, Baxter put em-

“[WVU] is one of the great assets of the state of West Virginia.”

- Ralph Baxter, WV U.S Representative candidate phasis on bringing “information age” jobs to the state.

“We can create jobs in every part of the state where we have people that amount to anything, that involve the organizing, accessing, analyzing, managing of data and information,” Baxter said.

To fight the nation’s opiate epidemic, Baxter said Congress should stand up and devote “far more resources” to combat the crisis.

“This opioid crisis effects every citizen in the United States, and it is a matter of the greatest urgency,” Baxter said.

Baxter said these resources needed to be used to address the multi-faceted issues of the opiate epidemic: • Better education and training about the dangers of

drugs • Stopping the flow of opiates, including from legal distribution from pharmacies and illegal distribution • Enforcing and dealing with those who break the law.

• Helping those who are addicted “Treatment we need for people is something that must be available to them over a long term,” Baxter said.

Baxter filed for candidacy on Thursday.

Kendra Fershee, a WVU law professor, also filed for the first district U.S. representative on Thursday.

session for the 2018-19 school year.

BY ALI BARRETT NEWS EDITOR

WVU’s first winter intersession was a success, with 83 percent students getting a B or higher, according to Paul Kreider, associate provost for undergraduate education.

“Only seven percent of the students failed or dropped [a course],” he said.

Keith Bailey, dean of WVU Online, said they had 341 enrollments on day one of the program and after the add/drop date of Dec. 15, that number dropped to 282 students.

“Some induivals dropped the class because they saw the intensity of the class and wanted to make sure they didn’t get into something that they couldn’t accomplish in that three week period of time,” he said.

Kreider said WVU will likely offer winter session courses again next year.

“We are starting to develop a plan and strategy to move this forward as an annual occurrence,” Kreider said.

After the term, surveys were conducted for both the faculty and students to get their impressions on how they felt about the experience.

“Faculty surveys are not back. So far reaction has been positive,” Kreider said.

“Student Survey data is not compiled yet.”

However, Kreider said the grade distribution was excellent.

Kreider also reported that 54 percent of the students took an online class before the winter session and 53 percent of the students were juniors or seniors.

Bailey said they are potentially thinking about providing some graduate offerings instead of just undergraduate.

“What we really need to do is look at where are those high interest areas to be able to select what courses to put into this,” he said. “So our expansion is going to really be based on where demand might be.”

As the demand grows, Bailey said the administration is there to help fulfill those needs.

Bailey said they are working as an institution to make things a little more efficient for everyone.

“The one thing, I would say, would be great for students to be able to understand what they’re getting into before they get into it,” he said. “So that next year, instead of having as many people have to drop, that they understand beforehand what they are getting into and make a decision before registering and dropping.”

To allow for this, Bailey said to communicate expectations on the website for students to see. He also said to hold a self monitoring survey with pointed questions to guide students to say they might be the right type of an individual to take a course.

“The compressed time frame doesn’t allow for any kind of procrastination,” he said.

Bailey would like to thank everybody involved in the winter intersession.

“This was so much a team-collaborative effort that none of this could have happened to help the students get offerings where we had that pent up demand we didn’t realize we had,” he said.

All students paid the instate tuition rate of $349 per credit hour.

“Sixty-six percent of the students were non-resident taking advantage of the in-state tuition rate,” Kreider said. “One half of WVU students are non-WV residents.”

CULTURE

It’s been one year since the Women’s March — has progress been made?

BY JORDYN JOHNSON CULTURE EDITOR

It has been a year since millions of women and men worldwide took to their city streets to advocate for women’s rights, heath care, immigration reform, LGBTQ rights and to protest the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

The Women’s March made a strong statement throughout the United States — and the world — and that human rights deserve to be protected, and passionate citizens will stop at nothing to fight for them.

Has change been made, though?

Cari Carpenter, the interim director for the Center for Women’s and Gender Studies, said she was “fortunate enough to take a full

bus to D.C. as a part of the Jan. 21 march”.

“That was an incredibly positive, inclusive event,” Carpenter said. “Since then, I’ve been encouraged by things like the ‘Me Too’ movement for its ability to bring attention to the vast prevalence of sexual harassment in this society, the elections in Virginia and Alabama and, most importantly, the renewed sense of activism and political organizing of citizens in the wake of this administration.”

Carpenter feels like citizens are taking more of an interest in political issues, voting and running for office.

“This gives me great hope for the future,” Carpenter said.

However, Carpenter thinks there is still work to do.

“I do continue to be disturbed, however, by certain policies that discriminate

against women, people of color, the LGBTQ community, the disabled and undocumented people,” Carpenter said.

Megan McGee is a graduate teaching assistant at the Center for Women’s and Gender Studies who was also a part of the march in Washington, D.C. “I think that it was an amazing event, and I felt that I was surrounded by other people who are as passionate as me,” Carpenter said.

McGee describes herself as “a historian by trade”, and she feels as though she tends “to take a long view of movements”. She does think that progress has been made for women and the LGBTQ community, but less has been made for immigration.

“Women today can do so much more than women

in my mother’s or grandmother’s generations,” Carpenter said. Though she still believes we have to fight for equality.

“My LGBTQ friends and relatives can live open lives being who they are and loving who they do,” McGee said. However, she thinks that some still judge and discriminate against them.

“Immigration in America has always been racially charged,” McGee said. “There is little doubt in my mind that this tribalism will be hard to fix. But so much more work can be, and should be done.”

McGee thinks as the country heads into year two of the Trump presidency that something needs to be done to include an Equal Rights Amendment in the Constitution.

“That way all women would be equal to men fully, based

on the highest law of our land, and not only thanks to smaller protections,” McGee said.

“We also need to remember that if we help those who need the most help, we help all of us,” McGee said. “We, as a movement, cannot form the same tribal mentality that separates; instead, we need to listen to all of the issues —not only those that affect us personally.”

McGee also thinks that the more women that run for office the better. Especially women of color.

Overall, McGee said she feels optimistic about the coming year because of where we have came from.

“I think women, and minorities, are tired of being silent,” McGee said. “These voices aren’t going to disappear — they are tired of being silent.”

How to protect your pets from the cold

BY CLAIRE O’NEIL CORRESPONDENT

With cold weather and snow storms in season, it is not only a terrible time for students and faculty to be outside but, it is also a very difficult time for pets.

Leaving animals outside during this time of the year can cause cracked and irritated paws, starvation or even death. “Every year animals die because of the cold weather,” said Cathy Cutlip, owner of Animal House, a volunteer-based pet store located on High Street in downtown Morgantown.

Cutlip explained that if a pet has to go outside, they should wear protective gear such as booties or a sweater.

Owners can purchase these items at nearly any pet store, including Cutlip’s.

“During the cold weather, keeping outside time limited is very important for most breeds,” said Rachel Wasserman, shelter coordinator of Animal Friends of North Central West Virginia.

Animal Friends is no-kill animal shelter located in Morgantown.

When bringing your pet back inside, Wasserman suggests checking their feet for salt and ice to remove.

For animals that must remain outside, it’s important

Daisy romps around in the snow on a cold winter evening. to provide shelter from the elements and beds to keep them warm. Wasserman said proper bedding for outdoor animals should consist of hay,

straw and cedar shavings.

For those who have cats that live outside, honk the car horn before starting and moving the vehicle. Many cats will

find shelter under vehicles for warmth, so it’s important to be cautious and keep that in mind.

“Ideally, when tempera-

tures are below freezing, pets should be brought in even if it is in a garage with extra bedding,” Wasserman said. “If it is too cold for you outside, it is too cold for your pet.”

Another very important tip is to make sure pets have fresh water. The cold causes the water to freeze easily, so owners should check pet bowls a few times a day.

Stray animals must also be taken care of during this cold weather. With frigid temperatures and nowhere for them to go, it is recommended that strays be taken to local shelters or to call animal control.

Wasserman said the type of controlled environment that shelters provide will keep them safe and give them the chance to get adopted.

If a stray dog is found, Wasserman suggests taking it to Monongalia County Canine Adoption Center located on 106 Lockside Road.

For cats, Cutlip’s Animal House also takes in most small animals except for dogs.

A look back on Trump’s first year

BY JULIA HILLMAN CORRESPONDENT This time last year, the country witnessed one of the most controversial inaugurations in recent history. Half of the country feared for what was to come, while the other half was filled with excitement for the changes they wished to see.

In his first year, Trump was faced with quite a few obstacles. He had to handle problems with terrorists in the Middle East, multiple natural disasters hitting the country and a wavering U.S. economy.

Once in office, Trump made it very clear that he was techsavvy through the use of his twitter account. However, this has not always played to his advantage.

He has often used his social media account to torment other world leaders and celebrities, which many in the U.S. deem unnecessary.

“I really wish someone would take away his twitter,” said Tori Vincent, a freshman.

“His tweets make it very clear that he’s not fit to run this country, and honestly, they’re kind of insulting toward his character.”

Even those who support him thought that he went slightly overboard with his social media use.

“I really thought that Donald Trump’s first year in office was good and that he got a lot done to make this a better country, but he needs to stop making demeaning comments on social media. It’s not cool,” said Zach Rowand, a junior.

Some praised the president on the way he handled many of the events that occured during his first year in office.

“He really is living up to the reasons that he was elected for.

Sure, his word choice sometimes is not the best, but he handled everything going on in a reasonable manner,” said Markie Gallick, a freshman.

“The economy is looking great and unemployment is super low right now,” Gallick said.

While much of the country believes that Trump’s presidency is headed in the wrong direction by dividing the country and creating policies that only tend to the wealthy, most of those who put him in office are optimistic of what is to come in the next three years of his presidency.

OPINION

Should Trump criticize other countries when America has its own problems?

BY REBECCA TORO CORRESPONDENT

After a frustrating conversation with lawmakers in the Oval Office last week, President Donald Trump allegedly asked, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”

This conversation came forth when discussing a bipartisan immigration deal that would protect immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries.

Instead he suggested that the United States bring in more people from countries such as Norway.

“His comment is ludicrous because it can’t be backed up,” said Bridget Wasko, a senior Spanish student from Hagerstown, Maryland. “We have the most people in the world incarcerated per capita, still don’t have equal pay for women and our infrastructure is failing across the country (the water crisis in Flint and lack of aid in Puerto Rico, just to name a

PHOTO VIA TWITTER

President Trump has received major criticism throughout his first term for his frequent use of Twitter. few). Trump shouldn’t throw stones because we’re living in a glass house.”

Instead of focusing on which group of immigrants are a “proper fit,” why doesn’t the Trump administration fo-

cus on helping the countries that are dealing with disasters, such as Puerto Rico?

On Jan. 9, a billion-dollar loan was approved by Congress to help Puerto Rico deal with the aftermath of the hur-

ricane, which has been retained because officials feel that there is not so much of a cash shortage as seemed. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Trust Department told the Puerto

Rican government that they will not disburse the loan because they discovered that Puerto Rico had a cash balance of $1.7 billion for ongoing operations. The intention of this loan was to fill the gap with day-to-day funding.

FEMA didn’t think they were a fit.

What about residents of Flint, Michigan. who still don’t have clean water?

Flint Mayor Karen Weaver is calling for Trump to apologize for his alleged remarks about “shithole countries.”

According to Michigan Live News, Weaver said, “It is hard to hear, with clarity, the bells of freedom ring when our president, the leader of the free world, is raising his voice to make known that he will make every effort to impede black, brown, and those who live in certain places on earth from realizing the ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Trump should be moving some of his focus away from immigration to focus more on issues within the

United States. In case he forgot, Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory with American citizens.

Residents of Flint are Michigan residents and just because of their skin color, they should not be treated as less.

Along with the situations in both Flint and in Puerto Rico, there are several issues facing the American public for the president to attend to.

One of these issues is the government shutdown that went into effect on Saturday morning. The shutdown came after Republicans and Democrats failed to reach a spending agreement, and has no immediate end in sight.

During the shutdown, non-essential government employees will be unable to attend work, and therefore will not be paid. These employees may or may not be paid after the shutdown is over, but their payment will be at the discretion of the government. Starting on Monday, national parks and museums will also be closed throughout the shutdown’s duration.

President Trump’s most impactful tweets of 2017

BY KAMERON DUNCAN OPINION EDITOR

Endorsement of Roy Moore for Alabama senate President Trump endorsed Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore, despite Moore’s alleged sexual misconduct with underage women. Moore was defeated by Democrat Doug Jones for the senate seat in December.

“The people of Alabama will do the right thing. Doug Jones is Pro-Abortion, weak

on Crime, Military and Illegal Immigration, Bad for Gin Owners and Veterans and against the WALL. Jones is a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet. Roy Moore will always vote with us. VOTE ROY MOORE!” Tweeted on Dec. 12, 2017.

sations between the two, and that it would be in his best interest to not reveal them to the media.

“James Comey better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”

Tweeted on May 12, 2017.

Attempt to expedite Puerto Rico relief efforts After the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria in September, several members of the military as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agency spearheaded the relief efforts. Despite many still needing assistance, shelter, food and medical attention, Trump sent this tweet roughly a month later. The situation in Puerto Rico remains dire even several months after the initial disasters. “...We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!”

Tweeted on Oct.12, 2017.

Travel ban for “dangerous” countries This tweet from President Trump is indicative of a larger issue that took place over most of the year regarding a travel ban imposed on several countries, primarily those with high Muslim populations. After mass protests at airports around the nation, the ban was met with mixed

success. However, in December, the Supreme Court allowed the third version of it to take effect.

“That’s right, we need a TRAVEL BAN for certain DANGEROUS countries, not some politically correct term that won’t help us protect our people!”

Tweeted on Jun. 5, 2017.

Insulting Kim Jong-Un President Trump engaged in a war of words with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un for most of the year, a feud that included this tweet. Trump made a point throughout the year of downplaying North

Korea’s nuclear weaponry, and threatened to respond with “fire and fury” should North Korea attempt an attack on American soil with said weapons.

“Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me “old,” when I would NEVER call him “short and fat?” Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend and maybe someday that will happen!”

Tweeted on Nov. 11, 2017.

One of several tweets throughout the year citing “fake news” President Trump’s battle with the media and his insis-

tence on exposing “fake news” continued into 2017, and this was one of multiple tweets over the year that showed it. Trump noted that several media outlets primarily promoted “fake news,” especially those with a left-leaning or centrist viewpoint.

“We should have a contest as to which of the Networks, plus CNN and not including Fox, is the most dishonest, corrupt, and/or distorted in its political coverage of your favorite President (me). They are all bad. Winner to recieve the FAKE NEWS TROPHY!” Tweeted on November 27, 2017.

BOPARC offers locations for recreation throughout Morgantown You may or may not have heard of BOPARC, but you’ve probably visited one of their locations. BOPARC, or the Board of Park and Recreation Commissioners, operates most of the parks and other recreational facilities around Morgantown.

Here is a rundown of a few of the hidden gems in Morgantown: Dorsey’s Knob Dorsey’s Knob Park is best known for Sky Rock, a rock formation located on the top of a hill in the park. This area stands hundreds of feet above a view of sloping hills, deep valleys and the Morgantown we all know and love. If you want to be awed by a view that looks like it came right out of a painting, visit Sky Rock to watch the sunset.

The park is equipped with various trails all of which are easy to moderate in skill

level. The park also boasts a lodge, disc golf course and playground.

Dorsey’s Knob is located off of U.S. 119 and is only a short drive from downtown Morgantown.

Chase Lunsford, a sophomore strategic communications student from Annapolis, Md., frequently visits some of BOPARC’s parks.

“My favorite local park is Dorsey’s Knob,” Lunsford said. “I’ve been to White Park and the ice rink, and both of those parks are covered with baseball diamonds, manmade fields and parking lots for activities.”

“However, Dorsey’s Knob is nearly untouched by excavators, leaving the natural rolling hills and trees alone,” Lunsford added. “Dorsey’s Knob hosts one of the coolest rock formations that you can climb on, and has carvings written on the side that date back to the

1800’s. It’s a sentimental place for me because my girlfriend and I had such a good time when we went.”

Abby Crago, a sophomore recreation, parks and tourism resources student from Weirton, West Virginia, also said Dorsey’s Knob is her favorite park.

“I feel really accomplished after climbing that hill,” Crago said. “The view from the top is spectacular, especially on a nice sunny day.”

The Morgantown Ice Arena Did you know there’s an indoor ice rink in Morgantown? It is open to the public regularly on Friday nights, Saturday afternoons, Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons.

The Ice Arena offers relatively inexpensive admission and skate rentals, as well as season passes, discounts for groups and a family day dis-

count on Sundays. Located in White Park, the arena even hosts skating lessons for those wanting to learn.

White Park White Park houses a variety of recreational facilities for almost anyone. Not only does White Park house the Ice Arena, but it also has a number of softball fields and baseball fields.

One of the highlights White Park offers is the trails. According to BOPARC, the park has a total of five miles of trails, which are open to hiking as well as biking.

Haley Miller, a sophomore strategic communications student from Davidsonville, Md., visits some of the local parks, but has never been to White Park.

“I would like to go to White Park,” Miller said. “I know it has baseball fields and hiking trails. I know a few people

who take their dogs on walks there, and I think that would be a nice afternoon.”

Krepps Park Krepps Park is another local park with a lot to offer. According to BOPARC, the park includes 20 acres of wooded trails, an outdoor swimming pool, a pavilion and picnic sites and a dog park. The park offers lush green space and tranquil wooded areas for the public to use.

The public can rent the pavilion or hold picnics in the park. The pool can also be rented. Individuals can pay a daily admission fee, or you can purchase family and individual passes for the season.

Located off of Patteson Drive, the trails are generally easy in difficulty.

feature is the Amphitheatre located on the water. According to BOPARC, the Amphitheatre can be rented by individuals or groups and occasionally holds events for the public, such as festivals, ‘Movies on the Mon’ and other events.

The park has two paved trails, both with easy difficulty.

The Caperton Trail is five miles long while The Deckers Creek Trail is 19 miles long.

Pocket Parks BOPARC also manages five ‘pocket parks,’ which are small areas throughout Morgantown that allow for greenspace to be preserved throughout the city. Residents use these to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy nature. The parks range from open field space, to playgrounds, to a pier.

Should the Mountainlair’s Saikou Sushi take swipes?

With limited options within the Mountainlair food court, students are often disappointed to see that Saikou does not accept meal swipes.

When approaching the counter many students will be turned away by a sign that reads in large, bold letters: “No meal plans accepted.”

Although the establishment does accept dining dollars, meal swipes are unfortunately valueless at the Saikou here at West Virginia University. The question many students ponder is a simple one: Why wouldn’t Saikou Sushi accept meal swipes in the Mountainlair?

Gumsan Nsang, founder and owner of Saikou Sushi, quite often asks himself the same question.

According to him, the school will not allow them to accept meal swipes and he’s “not exactly sure why” that is the case. With businesses dispersed across a number of eastern seaboard states, many of his establishments accept meal plans through partnerships with respective schools.

WVU is not one of those schools and Nsang is not exactly happy about it.

“I would love to allow the acceptance of meal plans at West Virginia University, and frankly it would be good for business, but the school refuses to do so,” Nsang said.

Mountainlair representatives were unable to comment when asked about the lack of meal plan acceptance.

Although the Mountainlair is the busiest building on campus, Saikou Sushi continues to suffer even with the incredible amount of foot traffic passing by each day. The answer as to why meal plans are not accepted seems obvious: it just must

disappear; and if that happens, some very valuable real estate opens up in the Mountainlair.

I don’t think many of us want Saikou Sushi to be replaced with a Wendy’s. Finding healthy food options on this campus is like finding a needle in a haystack, if that haystack was 913 acres wide.

It’s not an easy task, and having fresh sushi in the middle of campus is a sweet relief from Burger King and Sbarro.

Businesswise, it may not be the best move for WVU to allow Saikou Sushi to accept meal swipes. But if this school cares about the health and happiness of its students, it will not let Saikou fail and allow another major fast food corporation to move in to the heart of our campus.

Big wins on CBS are not new to the Coliseum and WVU basketball

BY JOHN LOWE

ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR “From snowy Morgantown, West Virginia, CBS Sports presents the Big 12 as the sixth-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers play host to the Texas Longhorns!”

Legendary announcer Kevin Harlan announced those words at the beginning of the WVU men’s basketball team’s 86-51 rout of Texas on Saturday as CBS called its first game in the Coliseum since 2011.

Over the last 11 seasons, CBS has come to Morgantown to call a men’s basketball game five times, and West Virginia has won every single one, usually over a ranked opponent.

In January 2011, Purdue invaded Morgantown touting a top 10 ranking and dominant resume compared to WVU, who had fallen from the pedestal they had stood on top of in 2010, following up a Final Four appearance with a record of 12-4, including losses to Minnesota, Miami, St. John’s and Marquette.

For the first time of the season, the Coliseum would have a CBS crew on the call.

While the Boliermakers’ JuJuan Johnson still lit up the scoreboard with a gamehigh 26 points, Kevin Jones, John Flowers, Darryl “Truck” Bryant and Joe Mazzulla all finished with double figure scoring performances to lift the Mountaineers to a 68-64 upset win.

win, WVU prepares for road

BY JOEL NORMAN SPORTS WRITER

After snapping a two-game losing streak, the West Virginia men’s basketball team looks to build a new winning streak when it heads to Forth Worth, Texas, to take on TCU at 9 p.m. Monday.

WVU (16-3, 5-2 Big 12) defeated Texas, 86-51, on Saturday at the WVU Coliseum to get back in the win column.

The Mountaineers were led by their guards, who combined to score 56 points, and a 54-point second half, which set a season-high for points in a half.

Meanwhile, TCU (14-5, 2-5) is coming off a 73-68 loss to Kansas State on Saturday in Manhattan, Kansas. It was the Horned Frogs’ second game without point guard Jaylen Fisher, who will

ant and Mazzulla, who combined for 40 points as the Mountaineers upset Notre Dame 72-58 in front of a CBS crew.

“If we’re scoring the way we did today, we’re almost an unbeatable team,” Bryant said following the win.

The previous year, 11thranked West Virginia hosted border rival and 21st-ranked Ohio State in a highly anticipated top 25 matchup, also on CBS. The Mountaineers were on their way to a Final Four berth for the first time since 1959, but had struggled to put away Ohio State as the Buckeyes got out to a 40-28 lead at halftime.

Former WVU great and Utah Jazz play-by-play man “Hot Rod” Hundley was honored at halftime and made a hook shot, which got the Mountaineer faithful in the Coliseum back into the action.

Da’Sean Butler fed off the excitement and finished with 21 points to lead West Virginia to a 71-65 comeback win over the Buckeyes.

The most memorable win of all on CBS came in February 2007. The Mountaineers hosted Russell Westbrook and the No. 2 UCLA Bruins.

Young guns Butler and Alex Ruoff teamed up with West Virginia veteran Frank Young to combine for 45 points in the 70-65 upset of UCLA. Westbrook was held to 1 of 11 shooting from the field, two free throws and five rebounds and fouled out late in the second half.

The Mountaineers ended up finishing 27-9 on the season with an NIT Championship in John Beilein’s last season at the helm.

For the time being, if CBS comes to Morgantown, look forward to a big, memorable win.

son due to a meniscus tear in

his right knee that required surgery.

“I feel bad for him,” said TCU head coach Jamie Dixon. “We all feel bad for him.”

The loss of Fisher can’t be understated; the sophomore averaged 12.3 points per game and 5.4 points per game. He also averaged 27.4 minutes per game and exceeded 30 minutes eight times.

With Fisher out, TCU still boasts four other scorers averaging double-digit figures.

Forward Vladimir Brodziansky leads the way with 15.4 PPG. The 6-foot-11 Slovakian center also averages a teambest 1.6-blocks per game.

However, one area that Brodziansky struggles in is rebounding, averaging 4.6 rebounds per game despite his mighty stature. The Horned Frogs are tied for seventh in

the Big 12 with 25.6 rebounds per game, but are fourth in offensive boards with 11.5 rebounds per game.

The No. 1 offensive rebounding team in the Big 12?

That is WVU. After matching a single-game high in conference play with 14 offensive boards against Texas, head coach Bob Huggins credited three players for the stellar offensive glass work.

“We work at it,” Huggins said. “Logan (Routt) was terrific… Sags was really good, obviously. I thought when we get Esa (Ahmad) back to where he should be, he’s a very good rebounding three-man.”

Huggins has to hope that WVU can continue using the offensive glass to create second-chance points, where the Mountaineers outscored the Longhorns 21-6.

While one of WVU’s

strengths is forcing turnovers, TCU makes its mark in taking care of the basketball.

The Mountaineers are third in the nation with 19.26 turnovers forced this season, but the Horned Frogs only commit 12.2 per game, the thirdbest in the Big 12.

Because of that, WVU needs to be careful not to get into foul trouble by reaching in a little too close too many times. On Saturday, the Mountaineers only committed 15 personal fouls, which matched a season-low. Continuing to avoid giving the Horned Frogs consistent trips to the charity stripe is important even though TCU shoots an unimpressive 72 percent from the line.

Monday’s game will be televised nationally on ESPN.

CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR

Successful offense key for WVU going forward When West Virginia’s offense clicks like it did for much of Saturday’s 86-51 trouncing of Texas, it typically finds itself in the win column.

That’s not to say the Mountaineers need to shoot 66 percent from the field and 73 percent from long range like they did in the second half. Those numbers are rarely even reached by the NBA’s elite.

But an efficient offense that plays smart, commits few turnovers and makes shots is an added bonus to a program that prides itself on great defense.

WVU was once the No. 2 team in the country not too long ago, which was its highest ranking since Jerry West played in the blue and gold back in 1959. It seemed like the team was on top of the world.

However, the offense faltered, especially in the second half of games against Texas Tech and Kansas. In both games, WVU held double-digit leads at one point or another and was up at halftime --- 38-31 at Texas Tech and 41-28 at Kansas.

“We probably weren’t very comfortable being No. 2 in the country,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins.

Then the collapses started.

Texas Tech outscored WVU 41-33 in the second half as the Mountaineers finished with a 39 percent mark from the field and 13 turnovers, giving the ball away the same amount of times as the Red Raiders.

Senior guard Jevon Carter (28) and junior forward Esa Ahmad (18) were the only WVU players to reach double-figures in the game. The No. 3 scorer: sophomore forward Wesley Harris, who finished with eight points.

Against Kansas, WVU led by as many as 16 points before another collapse in the second half.

After halftime, it shot just 10-of28 from the field (36 percent) and 1-of-13 from long range (eight percent) before finishing with a 5-of-27 clip from 3 for the game, also committing 11 of its 16 turnovers during that span.

Things changed against Texas Tech, and they needed to. The offense was dialed in. It was focused and played smart. It rarely wasted possessions.

The Mountaineers committed just 10 turnovers, fewer than the 11 they compiled in the second half alone in the loss to Kansas. They shot 46 percent from the field, 52 percent from deep and a perfect 100 percent at the free throw line.

Add in a balanced offense fea-

“We were patient,” Ahmad said. “We were waiting until guys got to open spots. We were hitting guys early and late. That was big for us.”

Bolden’s performance was perhaps one of the most important pieces of the afternoon.

He converted five of his six attempts at the three-point line and hit nearly every shot he took

despite straining his groin and heading back to the locker room in the first half.

“It was huge,” said WVU redshirt sophomore forward Logan Routt. “I think he may have hurt his groin and then he came back in and played well, especially him scoring off the bench, hitting 3s. He’s the best shooter on our team by far. Anytime he’s scoring the ball well, I think we’re having a good day.”

WVU will not need to succeed quite like it did in the second half against Texas, but if it can play smart on offense and
