University launches ‘It’s On Us’ New campaign to combat sexual assault speaks to men, doesn’t focus on training victims by jennifer skinner staff writer @Dailyathenaeum

In conjunction with the national initiative, West Virginia University launched the “It’s On Us” campaign last Wednesday to put an end to sexual assault on campus.

“In the past, we’ve always emphasized how to train victims. My question is, who’s talking to the men?

If one in five women is being

sexually assaulted, and men are the perpetrators, who’s talking to the men?” said James Goins, WVU Title IX coordinator and director of equity assurance. “What I’d like to see occur, and I think with the whole national movement, is a change in the way we think about sexual assault, misconduct and violence.”

While the University already had resources, such as WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health’s GreenDot

program, for students who wanted help with sexual assault, now students can go to one central office – Goins’ office within the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion – with all Title IX cases.

“We want students to know what’s acceptable behavior and not, and the consequences for unacceptable behavior. We want students to know the University’s position on this kind of behavior and who the Title IX coordinator is, and it’s a

one-stop shop so that students don’t have to go to different places to get help,” Goins said.

As part of Title IX efforts, WVU has mandated Title IX training for all students, faculty and staff members, as well as providing peer advocate programs and confidential resources for students who seek help.

“All of us have to be involved. All of us have to do something different than what we’ve done in the past,” Goins said. “We can’t watch things occur and not say anything. It’s very important to me. It’s always been important to this University.”

awareness of the resources available on campus for those who have been directly or indirectly affected by sexual harassment or assault.

“I think it’s important to take the issue on as a Mountaineer family so that victims don’t have to feel alone. We can also help prevent sexual assault and violence from happening by looking out for each other,” Bramer said.

“I’m glad that the University is taking this step forward in making a stand against sexual assault and domestic violence because it is so fre-

In a University video that featured several students standing up against sexual assault, Shannon Redmon, a junior multidisciplinary studies student, voiced his concern for sexual assault on campus.

“I think that this is a great step for the University to take in being proactive in protecting its students. I hope that this campaign raises awareness to such an important issue,” Redmon said.

Also in the video, Lexie Bramer, an integrated marketing communications graduate student, said she hopes to see an increase in

s a winter storm brings feet of snow across the Northeast and inclement weather into Morgantown, W.Va., to many West Virginia University students this means one thing: the possible (and perhaps hopeful) cancellation of classes. Although the 2013-14 school year brought WVU students two snow days, it is the rare that the University closes entirely.

Last night, multiple local roads were temporarily closed due to icy conditions, including University Avenue at the intersection of Campus Drive and Stewart Street.

Classes may be cancelled or delayed, but the University typically remains open including dining halls, residence halls and libraries.

“Students should notify their professors and employees their supervisors, if they are unable to come to class or work. In return, we ask pro-

fessors, and supervisors to be understanding in these instances,” said Provost Joyce McConnell, according to a University press release.

McConnell said faculty must promptly notify students if a class is being individually cancelled.

“We don’t want students out on the road trying to make it to a class that is not being held,” McConnell said.

The University’s weather emergency procedures involve a University Police officer alerting campus officials about poor road conditions and weather forecasts. Any decision to cancel classes is made after officials consult one another about road and ground conditions.

The University reiterates that a declaration of weather emergency by the governor does not automatically close WVU campuses or offices. If the University does choose to close or cancel classes, students, staff and faculty are

After an emergency situation that led to a 48-hour moratorium on all recyclables, Monongalia County has switched from Solid Waste Authority to Republic Services for its recycling collection.

The changes do not affect Morgantown residents.

The crisis started nine months ago when the county commissioner’s office began hearing rumors from SWA employees that they may not have a job the coming month.

“Nine months ago we start receiving concerns from their (SWA) board members that the direction they were taking would cause some serious financial problems in the long run,” said Tom Bloom, president of the County Commission. “They had options of working out funding sources with Republic and they turned them down. So our concern was that we can see that the market for recycling was dwindling and we did not see where they were going to come up with income to pay any of their bills.”

The county commissioners requested a budget from SWA in mid-December. According to Bloom, a budget was never delivered, but SWA did request the funds for a $35-$40 million trash incinerator plant in Mon County and to make that new plant a central point for multiple states to send their recyclables and trash.

This, according to Bloom, was unacceptable to the county commissioners.

Also in mid-December, SWA reduced their driving staff to two drivers in order to balance their budget.

“During the next month - those four weeks - is when the problems developed

with the recycling bins not being collected. I don’t blame the employees, I want to be clear it was just too much to do for two drivers,” Bloom said.

SWA also unexpectedly dropped their lease, meaning they wouldn’t have to pay $14,000 to a private lessor. “(This) meant that they couldn’t collect recyclables and separate them. They had to take them directly to the transfer site, so they lost money in that way,” Bloom said. “They were paying literally $6 per trip, rather than getting $102 by separating the recyclables, so it was a substantial loss in revenue by driving it directly to Republic.”

In January, the commissioners started receiving complaints from residents and property owners of the recycling bins saying they had not been collected. This led Bloom to recommend an emergency 48-hour moratorium, which was lifted last Thursday, so the sites could be cleaned and the bins dropped off.

The commissioners could not act on the situation until SWA officially halted all activity. This happened on a 3-1 vote and ended all recycling services and closed all satellite drop-off locations last Wednesday, Jan. 21.

“So what we did basically then was pass a motion that allowed us to temporarily get involved because we had to have that in law,” Bloom said.

This then led to a twostep approach. In the western end of Mon County, the Marion County Solid Waste Authority was contracted to pick up the bins in that area. In the remaining areas, a motion was passed to sign an agreement with Republic Services to go to a single stream system.

Art Museum will open in August, first building of its kind at University by jennifer skinner staff writer @dailyathenaeum

This fall, students will gain access to the first-ever West Virginia University Art Museum, which will house the University’s collection of ancient and contemporary art pieces from across the state, country and world.

The museum, which is nearly complete, will open to the public at the end of August 2015, according to art museum director Joyce Ice. “This will be the first time we will have a building built for this reason, to

care for and to display art in a safe, controlled area,” Ice said. “This is an important development not only for preserving the collection but also making it more accessible.”

Works of art have previously been stored in small exhibits in the College of Creative Arts, the Downtown Campus Library and several other storage locations on campus.

Ex-CIA officer Pulitzer Prize winner speaks at Festival of Ideas convicted of leaking secrets to reporter ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A former CIA officer was convicted Monday of leaking details of a covert mission to derail Iran’s nuclear program in a case that, until the eve of the trial, was as much about the journalist who published the leaks as it was the accused leaker.

The government gave up on its effort to force New York Times reporter James Risen to reveal his sources — and ultimately didn’t need him to win a conviction.

Jurors convicted Jeffrey Sterling, 47, of O’Fallon, Missouri, of all nine counts he faced in federal court.

At issue in the two-week trial: Who told Risen about the mission, one that former national security adviser Condoleezza Rice testified was among the government’s most closely held secrets during her tenure as well as one of its best chances to derail Iran’s nuclear-weapons ambitions?

The case was delayed for years as prosecutors fought to force Risen to divulge his sources. Risen eventually lost his legal battle to quash a government subpoena, though prosecutors ultimately decided not to call him to testify once it became clear he would not reveal those sources even if jailed for contempt of court and free-press advocates lobbied on Risen’s behalf.

Prosecutors had acknowledged a lack of direct evidence against Sterling but said the circumstantial evidence against him was overwhelming. Defense lawyers had said the evidence showed that Capitol Hill staffers who had been briefed on the classified operation were more likely the source of the leak.

Following the verdict, defense lawyer Edward MacMahon said he was disappointed but “we still believe in Jeffrey’s innocence.” He said the defense will pursue every available legal option to get the jury’s verdict overturned.

Sterling will have the option to appeal his case after he is sentenced in April.

Motions to dismiss the case on various legal grounds are also still pending in front of the trial judge, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema.

The classified operation at the heart of the trial involved using a CIA asset nicknamed Merlin, who had been a Russian nuclear engineer, to foist deliberately flawed nuclearweapons blueprints on the Iranians, hoping they would spend years trying to develop parts that had no hope of ever working.

Risen’s 2006 book, “State of War,” describes the mission as hopelessly botched, and possibly backfiring by

giving the Iranians blueprints that could be useful to them if they sorted out the good information from the errors.

Throughout the trial, numerous CIA officers testified that they had deemed the program a success, even though the Iranians never followed up with Merlin to get additional blueprints he had offered to them as part of the ruse.

In his closing arguments, prosecutor Eric Olshan said the chapter of Risen’s book seemed to be clearly written from Sterling’s perspective as Merlin’s case handler. The book describes the handler’s misgivings about the operation while others at the CIA push the plan through despite its risks.

Furthermore, Sterling believed he had been mistreated and was angry that the agency refused to settle his racial discrimination complaint, Olshan said.

Risen had written about that complaint, and he was known to have a relationship with Sterling. The two exchanged dozens of phone calls and emails, Olshan said.

But defense lawyers said the government had no evidence that Risen and Sterling talked about anything classified in those phone calls and emails. The government failed to obtain Risen’s records to see who else he may have contacted.

Defense attorney Barry Pollack said Risen first got wind of the operation in early 2003, within weeks of Sterling reporting his misgivings to staffers at a Senate intelligence committee — a channel that Sterling was legally allowed to pursue. Pollack said it makes more sense that a Hill staffer leaked to Risen.

Just before lunch on Monday — the jurors’ third day of deliberations, they sent a note to the judge saying they could not reach a unanimous verdict on some counts. But after the judge urged them to keep talking, they delivered guilty verdicts later in the afternoon.

Jurors declined to comment leaving the courthouse.

Lucy Dalglish, dean of the University of Maryland’s journalism school and former director of the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press, said she was not surprised by the verdict. She called it groundbreaking in the sense that it showed how prosecutors are willing to pursue such cases without reporters’ cooperation.

“They’re going to use this case to terrify federal employees. They’re going to use this case to teach the intelligence community a lesson” about the consequences of leaks, she said.

“Single stream means you put all of the recyclables in one bin. You don’t have to separate it,” Bloom said.

Bloom said the three main events that led to the eventual downfall of SWA and the temporary moratorium were the rumors that SWA employees might soon lose their jobs, SWA dropping its lease and SWA’s failure to collect the recyclables in the western end without alerting the County Commission office.

“It was a dire situation and had to be dealt with and I did what I thought was in the best interest of the community,” Bloom said.

He was awarded the Pulitzer for his book “Toms River,” a non-fiction story based in Toms River, N.J.

Lawyer: Boy Scout files depict ‘sordid’ history of abuse SANTA BARBARA, Calif.

(AP) — The sexual abuse of a 13-year-old Boy Scout by an adult volunteer was part of a “sordid history of child sexual abuse” within the organization that has been documented internally for nearly a century, the victim’s attorney said Monday in his opening statement at a civil trial in California.

The Scout, now 20, has sued the Boy Scouts of America and a local scouting council for punitive damages after being molested by a volunteer leader in 2007. He claims in his negligence lawsuit that the Scouts failed to educate, train and warn parents and adult volunteers about the dangers of sex abuse.

His attorney, Tim Hale, won the right to draw from more than 30 years of “perversion” files kept by the Scouts as evidence at trial to support those allegations.

The files cleared for use by Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Donna D. Geck include 16 years of documents — from 1991 to 2007— that have never been seen before.

Hale told the jury that when the case is over they will receive a CD of 100,000 pages of files to review and will be the first people in the U.S. outside Scout leadership and attorneys to see the documents.

Hale said in his opening remarks that the Scouts recorded between 9,000 and 10,000 such files between 1920 and 2007. An attorney for the Scouts put the number at 7,500; the discrepancy wasn’t explained.

“I think it gives people somewhere to come to see art that they don’t presently have. At this point, you have to travel to Pittsburgh or D.C.,” Ice said.

“School groups will also have a place to learn about art. For University students, it’s a place you can explore.”

“What has not been going on is notice to the public and notice to (the plaintiff) and his parents,” the lawyer added.

The plaintiff in the lawsuit testified later in the day that he suffered a bruise and a laceration in the assault at a Christmas tree lot and still suffers from anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

He returned to the lot with a hidden tape recorder several days later to try to get a confession and was partially successful, he said, when the volunteer asked the teen if he had told his mother.

“It was a 13-year-old’s word over a Scout leader, an adult,” said the victim, who remained composed on the stand. “He was someone people looked up to.”

The plaintiff later quit his beloved game of baseball, stopped hanging out with friends and stayed in his room. He eventually began home schooling because he saw the volunteer sitting in a car outside his high school about five times as the criminext day it’s 50 degrees,” Ice said. “Until we know that the building is operating as it was engineered to do, we won’t move the collection until then.”

In addition to the University’s own art collection, the museum will bring in traveling exhibits that include pieces of art that would not otherwise make an appearance. College of Creative Arts students will make use of a classroom with electronic technology for 25 students and research rooms for examining works of art.

“There will be areas for research by appointment for people to come and study specific pieces of art, and there will be works of art from different areas of the country or the world, (and) exhibitions of art that aren’t well represented in our own collection,” Ice said.

nal case proceeded.

“I felt scared. I felt like he was coming after me,” the victim told jurors, adding that he threw up once in public when he unexpectedly saw the man.

The victim’s name is being used in court, but The Associated Press does not generally name victims of sexual abuse.

An attorney for the Boy Scouts said in his opening statement that the “perversion” files were created to keep children safe by maintaining a master list of people ineligible to volunteer with the Scouts.

The organization acknowledges mistakes in the way sex abuse allegations were handled in the past but now has a robust child protection program, attorney Nicholas Heldt said.

From 2003 to 2007, a key period for the lawsuit, only 27 adult volunteers were kicked out annually for sexually abusing Scouts, although there were at least 1.5 million volunteers nationally, he said.

quently overlooked.”

Julie Merow, a sophomore strategic communications student, and her sorority, Chi Omega, took the “It’s On Us” pledge, “in hope of bringing more light to the issue of sexual assault on our campus and encouraging students to intervene when they see something they know isn’t right or safe,” according to Merow.

Any student can get involved with the campaign by learning how to prevent sexual assault and spreading knowledge of WVU resources and training.

“Once they have found out about the campaign, I’ve had several students reach out to me and see how they can get involved,” Goins said. “We encourage students to work with WELLWVU and the GreenDot program to train bystanders how to intervene. It would be nice to get students involved to train other stu-

abused, the youth protection training worked because the boy recognized the abuse, resisted and told his mother, Heldt said. She, in turn, told local Scout leaders who informed law enforcement.

“This case is about training and whether training would have made a difference,” he told jurors.

“I think this is a case in which the one instance of sexual abuse against (the plaintiff) could not have been prevented, and it wasn’t prevented,” he said. “But the training program may have helped prevent the second or the third instance of sexual abuse.”

The records allowed by the judge could reveal how much the national organization has improved its efforts to protect children and report abuse after several high-profile cases sparked the youth protection policy in the late 1980s.

Previous large verdicts against the Scouts focused on cases where alleged abuse occurred before the policy was put in place.

In 2012, the Oregon Supreme Court ordered the Scouts to make public a trove of files from 1965 to 1985. The records showed that more than one-third of abuse allegations never were reported to police and that even when authorities were told, little was done most of the time.

The current lawsuit alleges that Scouts volunteer Al Stein, now 37, pulled down the plaintiff’s pants when he was 13 and fondled him while the two worked in the Christmas tree lot.

Stein pleaded no contest to felony child endangerment in 2009 and was sentenced to probation. He served time in prison after authorities discovered photos of naked children on his cellphone. dents in the peer advocate program.”

More pieces of WVU’s movement include a Coordinated Campus Response team, which gathers members of the community to advocate and deliver policy across campus, and law enforcement officer and student conduct board training, which instructs those parties how to treat victims and assailants of violence.

“Ensuring our students are safe is vital to our University and it is on each of us to spread awareness of potential dangers. but more importantly how to stop them,” Merow said.

Title IX is a law passed in 1972 that requires gender equality at educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance.

“What’s new is the national exposure. I don’t think it’s a change in position. The University just wants to set a tone that inappropriate behavior is not acceptable on this campus,” Goins said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Pat Cole and Jared Miller reminisce about the time they were kicked out of middle school band for talking about wrestling. Their passion for punk music began soon after. Cole and Miller are members of Worst Kept Secret, which will be performing an EP release party in Elkins on Feb. 7.

Q&A with Morgantown’s Worst Kept Secret

By Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @WestleyT93

initially derive your inspiration from? What bands did you sort of pull from?

JM: My biggest influence is James Hetfield from Metallica. I’m more of a rhythm player and his rhythm is second to none. His picking is incredible, impeccable. Plus we all like pop-punk. It went away but we still try to keep that radio friendly feel. That Sum 41 type feel, it’s riffy and it’s poppy.

PC: I have a bunch of variations and sides to me.

When it comes to this type of stuff, pop-punk was the beginning. My first album was Dookie, we grew up listening to Green Day and Blink 182.

I’m kind of stuck in the 80s when it comes to metal. Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera.

That’s more my inspiration as far as metal goes.

JM: Our music has a lot of groove of Pantera, which is a bold statement, but I mean that in the most respectful way possible.

PC: People always ask about the the southern (influence), like “what do you mean by southern?” Pantera kind of throws southern into their sound, it’s more like that.

WT: So you guys have been playing Morgantown for a while now, have you gone outside of the area at all?

JM: Yeah, the next step is getting around the rest of West Virginia. We wanted to gain a bit of a following in Morgantown. We go to Elkins, that’s where we’re all originally from, Clarksburg, Fairmont, all of that.

We play in that a lot. We’ve played every venue in Morgantown. Well I don’t want to say every venue, we haven’t played Gene’s Beer Garden.

PC : We’ve played Schmitt’s, 123.

JM: We’ve played house parties, the Mason Jar in Grandville. Not oversaturating, but we want to be able to play anywhere.

PC: In Clarksburg, a big shout out to Mainstreet Cafe. They’re really up and coming, they host a lot of great shows. So anytime we can make it to Clarksburg.

At Fairmont we’ve done

The Dojo a few times. That place gets kind of rowdy, so that’s fun. Elkins, really it’s pretty much wherever you can book. We’ve played a few places from bars to actual venues.

JM: We played at a Catholic Church.

PC: They transformed it into a venue.

JM: No, I was talking about the art center. It had a big dome behind us, and there was this big scripture in the gold dome. Because our music is heavy it was kind of weird.

PC: They kept telling everyone to “turn down, turn down.” Once we got on it was like “okay, these guys are gonna turn up.”

WT: How many years out do you think this future full length album is?

JM: Whenever we have time to write. We gig a lot and we play around a lot.

We all have jobs, a couple of us are in college, we have priorities. Right now it’s about getting the EP released. We took a month off in December so we could write another song. It takes a while to write music. If I was gonna say, the next time we would be in the studio would be the end of the year.

We’re trying to get this out there as much as possible, and write more so we can go into this fresh.

PC: We don’t want to be one of those bands that releases fillers. We’re obviously going to reuse some of the EP on the full-length album most likely. Maybe rerecord. We’re always constantly changing things in songs, so there may be different variations of a song.

The main thing is we don’t want to write fillers. We want to have good hard hitting music throughout the album. We don’t want to have anything that doesn’t sound like us, that we’re just putting on the album to take up space.

JM: To me, I really like the songs; I love the way they turned out. It’s a lot of work.

When people hear it they will be able to tell we took our time.

PC: Eric Kirkland from Parksburg area recorded it.

JM: We took kind of a risk on him, he never really recorded anything before.

PC: In this style especially.

JM: He listens to rock, like Foo Fighters.

PC: He records a lot of acoustic gigs.

JM: I went to him intentionally because I wanted an outside ear that didn’t listen to metal to record the album. They would keep it heavy but it would have a mainstream appeal to it.

Now we’ve luckily had a little bit of radio play with our songs. On soundcloud we have 1,000 plays.

WT: Would you mind talking about your writing process? How you guys go about creating songs?

JM: Me and the drummer, we’re both very rhythmically based. So I’ll come up with a riff, he’ll come up with (alterations to make.)

We just do that. In the beginning it kind of shot us in the foot because it would be so riffy and we would have to fit in lyrics. Our other guitar player writes the more poppy stuff for our music.

It’s a good balance. Pat just comes in plays bass, does what he does. Does whatever he wants. It works, it’s good. We all play a big part in writing music. If there is writers block someone will throw out ideas.

PC: The lead singer does a good bit. He carries around a journal, but then we’ll all work it in. Rearrange, maybe add something.

JM: We’ll just throw out topics, like I’ll throw out a wrestler and we’ll write about that. Or partying, or an ex girlfriend, or something that bugs us personally. We’ll get a topic then base it off that.

Worst Kept Secret would like to thank everyone who helped them in anyway.

They’d also like to remind fans to check them out Feb. 26 at 123 Pleasant St. They’ll be opening for Sworn Enemy. Tickets are $10. For more info on the band, and links to their music check them out at https://worstkeptsecretwv.bandcamp. com.

Despite having formed only a year ago, Worst Kept Secret has exploded on the Morgantown music scene.

This five man rock piece has played in almost every venue in town, bringing their iconic southern-metal pop-punk blend to every stage from here to Fairmont and Elkins W. Va. The band has garnered a lot of attention as of late and are about to release their first EP, titled “Nuff Said,” which will drop Feb. 7.

Last evening I was able to sit down with Worst Kept Secret’s rhythm guitarist Jared Miller and bassist Pat Cole for a brief Q&A before their Erin Irwin/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM on air interview with U92.

Staying informed to plan for future

homewithdon.net

The American Dream: The ideal we all seem to be striving for of prosperity and a better life all wrapped up in a white picket fence and ready to go. This dream is often seen as achievable and applicable to the middle class of America.

Unfortunately this middle class is on the decline, and not because more people are moving up in the world.

In an article published Monday by the New York Times, this decrease is being attributed to the common trending of wages lowering. Incomes are falling and it is hitting the middle class hard.

The Times has classified the middle class as having a household income in the range between $35,000100,000. Factors such as age, education and race were all discussed in the article.

So, what does this decrease mean for us as students at West Virginia University?

While for many the end goal of college is a dream career, this decline in in-

come may lead students down paths they lack a passion for. Students who simply want to find a partner, settle down and be able to provide for their family may be pushed to gain more education in order to obtain a position with a higher income.

Now more than ever, people are choosing to hold off on marriage and starting a family in favor of building a career to support their future.

While this is the responsible decision, it may lead one to wonder what has caused this trend which generations before us were not pressured to follow.

With a combination of economic climate and social change, we have seen a change in lifestyle and quality of life.

No longer can a person rely on a high school diploma to secure them a decent job, and soon even a bachelor’s degree will seem like a stepping stone on the path to more, required education.

This is one of the many reasons as students of higher education, the next work force

and future law makers, we need to be both politically and socially aware.

What is happening now will inevitably affect the world we live in and the world we will raise families and work in.

These decreases in income will affect almost all of the decisions we will make in our “real world” life. When we will get married, if and when we start having children and where we live will all be dependent on the money we make and economic climate of our country as a whole.

With the state attempting to make changes to higher education in order to keep people in state, the options to stay in West Virginia may be a harder choice than just wanting to be here.

Be aware. Pay attention to the decisions being made around you at every level so you are better able to make informed and conscious choices both politically and socially. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

Bringing attention to Nigeria, international issues

huffingtonpost.com

elise cowgill columnist @cecowgill

“Je suis Charlie”—a phrase which, unless your bed happens to be under a rock, you’ve undoubtedly heard by now.

The French language translation of, “I am Charlie,” became the verbal salute of free speech and solidarity hashtagged around the world after the Jan. 7 terrorist attacks of the Paris-based Charlie Hebdo satire magazine which killed 12 and injured 11 more. International resources were pooled under the auspices of the United Nations and investigations into every aspect of the terrorists’ lives began within a matter of hours.

Enter Nigeria, stage left.

In 2014, #BringBackOurGirls was tweeted well over a million times (via washingtonpost.com) in reference to a terrorist attack in which 276 young girls were kidnapped to be sold. That’s the closest thing to global recognition Nigeria’s nearly 20-year hell has received thus far.

Although hashtagging has stopped, Boko Haram has not, nor were the estimated 200 school girls who did not manage to escape immediately after the kidnapping.

DA

Boko Haram, an Islamic extremist terrorist group, has been terrorizing Nigeria since at least the late 1990s, but has risen to the current levels of destruction within only the past four years.

Translated roughly to “Western education is forbidden,” from the Hausa language, Boko Haram is a fitting name for the group’s end goals. These extremists believe the Quran forbids “proper” Muslims from taking part in all Western society—everything from social and cultural customs to political events such as elections— thus negating government.

Their aim is to create a “truly” Islamic state— by whatever means necessary.

On Wednesday, merely two weeks after the deplorable Charlie Hebdo attacks, Boko Haram attacked the Nigerian state of Baga. The terrorist group had already taken the military base near the start of 2015, meaning the estimated 250 dead in the street were almost exclusively women, children and the elderly.

Why then, when conservative estimates issued by cnn.com place the number of deaths by Boko Haram just shy of 4,000 (not including this most recent attack), has the world not truly taken notice?

Why do these 12 deaths in Paris spark international fury, but hundreds die just weeks later, and the world barely bats an eye?

In other words, why not “Je Suis Nigeria?”

Is it the western world is just so used to the idea of violence coming from the African continent, a place which seems to many so distant it could be from another time, we are completely desensitized to the ever-rising death rates and increasing violence?

While it isn’t a pretty picture, the answer is neither yes nor no.

Recent PEW Research Center sur veys show Americans pay infinitely more attention to events happening in other western countries—something which likely surprised no one.

However, there is more to the story. I’m sure you, educated reader, noted every numerical statistic surrounding Boko Haram’s presence in Nigeria—from the length of their time there to the astronomical figures representing their victims—was a mere estimate rather than a solidified fact.

A 2011 attack on United Nations headquarters in the capital city of Abuja caused a second look, but—based on reports of relative domestic peace within Nigeria—it was

considered by most to be an isolated incident. Nigerian President Jonathan Goodluck tried his best to hide the growing darkness lurking within the borders of his home country.

This reluctance to admit loss of control kept Goodluck from producing real statistics—and because no one truly realized what was happening, the UN did not intercede. Although nearly half of those estimated deaths came prior to 2013, no one outside the immediate scope of Nigeria knew what was happening.

Although it is unclear whether his conscience or some event compelled him to do so, Goodluck declared a state of emergency in May 2013.

In November 2013, the U.S. State Department added Boko Haram to its list of terrorist organizations—the United Nations followed suit. Just like that, the world’s governments, if not its people, opened their eyes.

It is clear in the time since, Boko Haram has still not become a household name.

“Slacktivists” (the Internet’s term for those who take to social media sites to protest or voice support) haven’t taken up the hashtag battle to scream for justice. Memes with President G oodluck’s

quotes don’t pop up regularly on Facebook, and with a name that memorable, we’d notice.

The fact of the matter is while Goodluck drug his feet for years before reluctantly choosing to share limited information with the rest of the international community, France’s President Francois Hollande responded swiftly with condemnations of the attackers and requests for aid from the rest of the world.

The world heard the cry.

While it would be remiss to pretend differences in culture, religion, geographic location and possibly, yes, even race, add into this equation, it bears noting the government’s response is also relevant.

Although many Nigerians have lost belief in their leader, Goodluck is taking advantage of the nearing election season. He is using campaign speeches to condemn the terrorists and promise his people peace.

“We will not forget; we will not look the other way. We have done a lot of painstaking planning and work to resolve the current security challenge. We will bring justice to the savage terrorists known as Boko Haram. They will be defeated,” Goodluck said in a Jan. 2 press conference.

The world will watch if Goodluck attempts to capture our eyes. The question is, will he try? daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

CORRECTION Due to an error in Jan. 26 edition of The Daily Athenaeum, columnist Hannah Chenoweth quoted Rep. McClintock, R-Calif., as saying “minorities and unskilled workers are not worth more than $7 per hour,” in an interview with CSPAN’s Washington Journal last week. McClintok did not say the quote we attributed to him. Instead, he suggested that if minimum wage is set to $10 an hour, and the work of an unskilled person just entering the workforce is $7 an hour, that person is unemployable. He went on to reason that minimum wage should not be raised because it is not supposed to support average Americans, but rather teenagers and unskilled workers entering the workforce.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

No. 17 West Virginia has long, hard road after OT win

doyle maurer/the daily athenaeum

Forward Devin Williams is boxed out during the Mountaineers’ win against TCU.

by david schlake sports editor @dschlake_wvu

It was a wild weekend for the No. 17 Mountaineers.

You couldn’t ask for more of a cinematic finish to a game that, in reality, had slipped out of West Virginia’s grasp.

Fortunately for Head Coach Bob Huggins and company, the overtime win over TCU gives them a third-best 4-2 record in the Big 12, as well as a 16-3 overall record, which ties No. 9 Kansas’ record for the best in the conference.

So you could say West Virginia is on a roll, and has a good shot at making a more comfortable spot for itself at the top of the conference standings. But what isn’t as fortunate for the ‘Eers is who has already played them and who is still left.

An average nonconference schedule only got the best of the Mountaineers once, but since the beginning of conference play, they’ve only beaten one ranked team.

In fact, they’ve only beaten two ranked teams

all season. In the other two matchups with ranked opponents, they lost.

Also noteworthy is the fact that each of the ranked teams West Virginia beat has struggled since being handed a loss by the Mountaineers.

Connecticut is no longer ranked, and Oklahoma has lost four of its last five games, dropping to No. 24 in the Top 25.

So who has West Virginia already faced? Besides the two losses to ranked Texas and Iowa State, as well as the win over Oklahoma,

they’ve beaten last-place Texas Tech and ninth-place TCU twice.

There’s no doubt the OT win over the Horned Frogs is huge for team morale, and a win is a win. But has anyone considered what it says about the 17th-best team in the country?

It should say the Mountaineers have a long, painful road ahead of them.

Seven of their remaining 12 games are against currentlyranked opponents.

Two of the other five games are against a red-hot Kansas State team that is

currently second in the Big 12 with a 5-2 record. Two are with an Oklahoma State team that beat the Wildcats as well as No. 19 Texas, who beat the Mountaineers by 27 points. One small window of freedom that could possibly be considered an easy win would be Saturday when the Mountaineers host Texas Tech, but then again, the Red Raiders beat then-No. 9 Iowa State Saturday.

You’ve been living under a rock if you haven’t heard the Big 12 has depth, and TCU is a relatively strong team that will undoubtedly

taste more victory before the season comes to a close.

But this win was a must.

With the schedule the Mountaineers have, if you want to have any shot at claiming a conference title, you can’t afford to lose to a team that’s 1-4 in the conference.

The win could prove crucial, as there are plenty of positives to take away from it, but Huggins and his squad can expect a much more difficult task in Manhattan, Kan. dschlake@mail.wvu.edu

Women’s basketball

Bria Holmes’ shooting woes continue, Mountaineers 2-5 in Big 12

andrew spellman/the daily athenaeum

Junior guard Bria Holmes drives toward the basket during the Mountaineers’ win against Kansas State earlier this season.

by david statman sports writer @dailyathenaeum

In the world of women’s college basketball, there are few offensive weapons as deadly as West Virginia junior guard Bria Holmes. Holmes’ combination of sure outside shooting touch and smooth transition game has made her the Big 12’s second-leading scorer, and stopping her has become an extremely difficult prospect for opposing defenses.

But in recent weeks, defenses haven’t had to worry about stopping her. Holmes is currently mired in one of

the most frustrating shooting slumps in her college career, and her struggles have been one of the biggest reasons why the Mountaineers have stumbled to a 2-5 record to open conference play.

Not even Holmes has an explanation for her troubles – according to her, she just has to keep her head down and let it all work itself out.

“It’s just not falling,” Holmes said. “I just have to make open shots. I’m just in a shooting slump right now, there’s nothing I can really do but just keep shooting.”

Although Holmes possesses an effective allaround offensive game,

she came into this season known primarily as a threat from beyond the arc. Holmes was the best 3-point shooter on a 201314 Mountaineer team that reeled off a 30-5 record, and her 34 percent performance from long range ranked in the top 10 in the Big 12.

This year, it’s been a different story. Although Holmes got off to a hot start in nonconference play, she’s gone ice-cold since the beginning of Big 12 competition. In seven conference games this season, Holmes is shooting 32 percent from the field and just 14 percent from 3-point range.

Although the emergence of sophomore Bre McDonald and junior Jessica Morton as scoring options has lightened some of Holmes’ burden, West Virginia is still relying on her to score.

Although Holmes’ offensive output has been decreasing, she still scores a greater percentage of her team’s points than any other player in the Big 12.

Together, she and senior forward Averee Fields take about half of West Virginia’s total shot attempts.

Mountaineer head coach Mike Carey has praised Holmes for her short memory, a required trait for all great shooters. So, even

though Holmes’ shooting struggles have helped cost her team games, Holmes knows she can’t dwell on the past.

“Since I’m a shooter, I can never think about one missed shot or if you miss a couple, because if you’re a shooter you’re supposed to just keep shooting, no matter if it goes in or not. If it’s not going, take it to the basket and hopefully your defense can create your offense,” Holmes said.

And to her credit, Holmes has not been a one-trick pony. The junior from New Haven, Conn., has generally been a plus on the defensive end, leading the

team in steals and ranking second among the Mountaineers in blocked shots.

Holmes’ activity on defense allows West Virginia to get out on transition, where Holmes thrives alongside senior point guard Linda Stepney.

But while Holmes’ allaround ability is definitely a boon for the Mountaineers, everyone knows she’s out there to score. And with West Virginia struggling to find any momentum in conference play, they’ll need her to find her groove again sooner rather than later. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

ON A WILDCAT HUNT

doyle maurer/the daily athenaeum

Senior guard Juwan Staten has the ball stripped from his hands in Saturday’s matchup against TCU.

No. 17 Mountaineers playing in Kansas tonight against the K-State Wildcats, following big win ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum

After a thrilling win over TCU last Saturday, No. 17 West Virginia will now shift its focus to Kansas State, another conference opponent.

Kansas State (12-8, 5-2) is coming off a 63-53 victory against Oklahoma State.

The Wildcats had three players score in double-digits against the Cowboys.

Nino Williams paved the way, scoring 20 points on the contest. Behind Williams were guards Marcus Foster and Justin Edwards who both chipped in with 14 points.

Foster is leading the team in scoring on the season, averaging 13.7 points

per game. He’s shooting 42 percent from the field and 41 percent from beyond the arc.

Williams is second best in scoring – he’s averaging 12 points a contest and is shooting over 50 percent from the floor. Williams is leading the team in rebounds, snagging 5.1 boards a game on average.

The Wildcats’ two Big 12 losses come from Oklahoma State, a team which they found redemption against in their last outing, and the other at the hands of Iowa State, a team the Mountaineers also came up short against.

West Virginia (16-3, 4-2) is coming off a nail-biting 86-85 win versus TCU. It took heroics from two fresh-

man players, Daxter Miles Jr. and Jevon Carter, for the Mountaineers to down the Horned Frogs.

Despite the win, Head Coach Bob Huggins still thinks his team needs to improve, particularly in passing and shooting the ball. “We had shots. We just didn’t make shots,� Huggins said following the TCU game. “(If ) you make shots, it looks like you’re running good offense. If you don’t make shots, it looks like you can’t run offense.� “I don’t lie. I could tell ev-

erything’s rosy and wonderful, but I’d be lying. We’ve got to pass it better.�

Against TCU, the Mountaineers went 29-71 (40.8 percent) from the floor, 6-25 (24 percent) from behind the 3-line and missed 10 free throws, some of which came in crucial moments.

On the season, West Virginia is shooting nearly 42 percent from the floor and just 28 percent from 3-point land.

Juwan Staten is averaging 15. 2 points per game, and the Mountaineers’ lead-

ing scorer finally seemed to have snapped his skid of low scoring.

In the TCU game, Staten muscled up 18 points, tying with Devin Williams for leading scorer against the Horned Frogs.

In the end, it was a clutch play from Miles and Carter that lifted the Mountaineers over TCU, but Huggins can’t say just yet that this is a “season-changing event� for his young guards. “Ask me Tuesday (when we play Kansas State),� said Huggins when asked

if this was a career-changing game for Miles and Carter. “I don’t know. Season changing? I don’t know, I guess if we win Tuesday and Saturday (against Texas Tech) then yes. But, if we go to Kansas State and lay an egg, I would tell you, no, it hasn’t changed a bit.�

Huggins’ squad will do battle against the Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. tonight. The game will broadcast live on ESPN2. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Duke Blue Devils defeat St. John’s in a close game, giving Coach Krzyzewski his 100th win NEW YORK (AP) — Make no mistake: Mike Krzyzewski is proud of his 1,000 wins. Just don’t expect him to keep chasing milestones much longer. “There’s an end in sight.

I’m going to be 68 next month. It’ll end sooner than later,� he said.

Krzyzewski became the first NCAA Division I men’s coach to get 1,000 wins when No. 5 Duke surged past St. John’s late in the second half Sunday for a 77-68 victory at Madison Square Garden.

Tyus Jones scored 22 points and the Blue Devils (17-2) went on an 18-2 run down the stretch to put Coach K in four figures on his first try. “There will be others that win more, but it is kind of neat to be the first one to 1,000,� he said.

Coach 1K. How grand, indeed.

Krzyzewski shared the moment with his family, pointing out that two of his three daughters and seven of his nine grandchildren were in attendance as he spoke in the postgame interview room.

But he could do without all the recent hoopla and individual adulation. “I’m glad it’s over,�

Krzyzewski said. “There have been so many articles written. There were things written that I didn’t even know about me. “Now, no more stories about my past or whatever,� he pleaded. “Enough is enough.�

Jahlil Okafor had 17

points and 10 rebounds, combining with Jones and Quinn Cook (17 points) to fuel the decisive spurt after Duke trailed by 10 with 8:15 remaining.

That’s when the Blue Devils finally began to look like a Krzyzewskicoached team, picking up their defense and hustling to loose balls as he urged them on from one knee in front of the bench. Duke outworked the Red Storm (13-6) on the glass and held them without a field goal for 6 pivotal minutes. “It just, boom! It was great,� Krzyzewski said. “It was beautiful, really, to see them fight today and win.�

WVU wrestler Morales wants All-American honors by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Senior wrestler Michael Morales doesn’t plan on leaving West Virginia without being All-American.

Despite qualifying for the NCAA Championships in 2012 and again last season, Morales has yet to earn All-American honors, something both he and his coach feel he’s capable of this season.

Before the start of the season the Brick, N.J., native dropped from the 149-pound weight class to 141 where he is currently ranked No. 13 in the nation, according to Intermat.

“Mike dropped down from (149) to (141) and I don’t think he believed in it at first,” said West Vir-

ginia head coach Sammie Henson in an interview with WVUSports.com. “But he kept coming to me and saying, ‘Coach, whatever you think I should do, I’ll do. It’s my senior year and I want to lay it on the line.’

“I truly believe that his best shot at being an AllAmerican is at 141.”

Morales opened the 2014-15 season with a sixth-place finish at the Michigan State Open, posting a 4-2 record. After a sudden victory win over Arizona State’s Mech Spraggins in the Mountaineers’ first dual match of the season, the senior recorded a perfect 5-0 record at the Navy Classic on his way to a first-place finish.

After recording a 2-1 record at the Northeast Duals the following weekend,

Morales finished sixth at the 2014 Cliff Keen Invitational, which features some of the nation’s top wrestlers. Morales defeated then-No. 8 Joe Spisak of Virginia, but dropped decisions to then-No. 2 Devin Carter of Virginia Tech, then-No. 3 Nick Dardanes of Minnesota and Boise State’s Geordan Martinez, who is currently ranked No. 8.

Morales has since compiled an 8-2 record, with his only losses coming to No. 2 Mitchell Port of Edinboro and No. 18 Dean Heil of Oklahoma State.

After posting an 1811 record as a true freshman during the 2010-11 season, Morales qualified for the NCAA Championships in 2012 with an 18-4 record before losing in the

first round of the national tournament to Iowa’s Montell Marion – the eventual runner up.

Morales redshirted during the 2012-13 season before again qualifying for the NCAA Championships in 2014. After finishing last season with a 20-9 record and placing third at the Big 12 Championships, he posted a 1-2 record at the national tournament.

West Virginia has five dual matches remaining on its regular season schedule before the Big 12 Championships begin March 7 in Ames, Iowa. With one last shot at becoming the 22nd All-American in program history, look for Morales to continue laying it all on the mat in the coming weeks.

WVU club ice hockey team finds itself back in Top 25 correspondent @dailyathenaeum

A 5-4 win over Mercyhurst University clinched the No. 24 Mountaineers a College Hockey Mid-America (CHMA) Conference playoff spot.

The Mountaineers have had an up and down season up to this point, dropping in and out of the rankings. However, they have won four out of their last five games, vaulting them into the Top 25. They now sit at second in the CHMA standings only behind Robert Morris University for top spot in the conference.

Players also faced a coaching change when assistant Kyle Richards was promoted to head coach.

His focus was to keep things simple, making only minor changes to the game plan

so players didn’t break their stride.

“We’ve mixed in a few things that will be put into place next year,” Richards said. “I didn’t want to make it too hard on the guys.”

WVU enters one of the toughest parts of its schedule as they close out the regular season. They will face No. 23 Robert Morris, No. 25 Mercyhurst and No. 11 Liberty, who boast the nation’s two leading scorers, twice.

Their mindset is to take each game as it comes and not get too ahead of themselves.

“We still have an outside chance of making nationals,” Richards said. “I told the guys that we’ll take care of our business and let everything else fall into place.”

As the national tournament in Cleveland, Ohio, approaches, Richards be-

lieves his team controls its own destiny. They suffered a tough home loss against John Carroll last weekend and now find themselves with some ground to make up.

WVU looks to its seniors to lead the team as they make their final push.

Richards believes all of his seniors have taken a leadership role in one way or another, but points to the play of goaltender Eric Schaetzle and forwards Zachary LaDuke and Trey Bracy as guys who have taken the reigns of their team.

“We’ve been riding Schaetzle these past couple weeks due to his spectacular play,” Richards said.

“We also have guys like LaDuke and Bracy who we know will give us a couple of goals, which is huge for seniors.”

Although the team looks

SPECIAL NOTICES

to these players in clutch situations, Richards feels the team plays its best when finding scoring from a variety of players. WVU doesn’t have a player in the Top 50 in scoring in the nation, but finds success from a more balanced attack as the team has nine players with 11 or more points on the year.

“We’re physical when we need to be,” Richards said.

“Speed, speed, speed and more speed is what I tell the guys. We want to be in your face. Once we take care of our defensive zone - the offense will come.”

The Mountaineers return home to take on Indiana University of Pennsylvania for their Military Appreciation game at 4 p.m. Saturday at Morgantown Ice Arena.

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski smiles during a press conference last year.

NEW YORK (AP) – Make no mistake: Mike Krzyzewski is proud of his 1,000 wins. Just don’t expect him to keep chasing milestones much longer. ”There’s an end in sight.

I’m going to be 68 next month. It’ll end sooner than later,” he said.

Krzyzewski became the first NCAA Division I men’s coach to get 1,000 wins when No. 5 Duke surged past St. John’s late in the second half Sunday for a 77-68 victory at Madison Square Garden.

Tyus Jones scored 22 points and the Blue Devils (17-2) went on an 18-2 run down the stretch to put Coach K in four figures on his first try.

“There will be others that win more, but it is kind of neat to be the first one to 1,000,” he said.

Coach 1K. How grand, indeed.

Krzyzewski shared the moment with his family, pointing out that two of his three daughters and seven of his nine grandchildren were in attendance as he spoke in the postgame interview room.

But he could do without all the recent hoopla and individual adulation.

“I’m glad it’s over,” Krzyzewski said. “There have been so many articles written. There were things written that I didn’t even know about me.

“Now, no more stories about my past or whatever,” he pleaded. “Enough is enough.”

Jahlil Okafor had 17 points and 10 rebounds, combining with Jones and Quinn Cook (17 points) to fuel the decisive spurt after Duke trailed by 10 with 8:15 remaining.

That’s when the Blue Devils finally began to look like a Krzyzewski-coached team, picking up their defense and hustling to loose balls as he urged them on from one knee in front of the bench. Duke outworked the Red Storm (13-6) on the glass and held them without a field goal for 6 pivotal minutes.

“It just, boom! It was great,” Krzyzewski said. “It was beautiful, really, to see them fight today and win.”

When the final horn sounded, Blue Devils players engulfed Krzyzewski and he received a bear hug from top assistant Jeff Capel.

Photographers swarmed the coach on the court, and players were given T-shirts that read “1,000 Wins And Kounting.”

“It’s a great feeling. Winning in the fashion that we did for Coach’s big game, it’s really special,” junior guard Rasheed Sulaimon said.

A public-address announcement offered congratulations to Krzyzewski, and Duke fans at a packed Garden chanted his name.

“I’m not sure I’ve ever been a part of a game like that. That’s kind of nuts, huh?” Krzyzewski said. “It just seemed like three different games.”

Here are some things to know about Krzyzewski’s

milestone win: NEW YORK, NEW YORK: No. 1,000 came about 500 miles from the cramped and cozy confines of Cameron Indoor Stadium, but Coach K was hardly on unfamiliar soil. Madison Square Garden, after all, was where he notched victory No. 903 against Michigan State in November 2011, breaking the Division I record previously held by his college coach and mentor, Bob Knight. “To win the 1,000th here, you need to be a lucky guy. I like my place, Cameron, but this is a magical place,” Krzyzewski said.

BIG PICTURE: Krzyzewski improved to 1,000-308 in a 40-year coaching career that began in 1975 at his alma mater, Army. He is 927249 in 35 seasons at Duke, guiding the Blue Devils to four NCAA titles and 11 trips to the Final Four. “It’s special. But it’s for all the players who have played for him who got these wins. It’s not just us,” Cook said. “That’s why we wanted to come out and get it done.”

PRIME TICKET: The vocal crowd of 19,812, mixed with fans of both schools, included about 15-20 former Duke players as well as Carmelo Anthony and Phil Jackson from the New York Knicks; St. John’s greats Chris Mullin, Lou Carnesecca and Felipe Lopez; and Nike boss Phil Knight.

Around 30 minutes before the opening tip, rising ticket prices ranged from $225 to $888 on stubhub.com —

which also covered admission to the doubleheader finale between Iona and Niagara at “The World’s Most Famous Arena.”

EARLY STRUGGLES: Midway through an entertaining first half, Krzyzewski was on his feet as St. John’s erased an 11-point deficit. Wearing a blue suit and white sneakers to support Coaches vs. Cancer, Krzyzewski stalked after the officials at the end of the half to argue that D’Angelo Harrison’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer came after the shot clock expired. Coach K didn’t get the call, and the Red Storm went into the locker room leading 43-39.

“At halftime I sent a text out to destroy all the books on leadership, because it wasn’t working,” Krzyzewski joked.

BY THE NUMBERS: Duke is 26-8 at Madison Square Garden under Krzyzewski, including 18 wins in its past 21 games. ... Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim is second on the Division I men’s list with 962 wins. Ex-Tennessee coach Pat Summitt holds the women’s Division I record with 1,098 victories.

WHAT’S NEXT?: Two tough road tests for Duke in the Atlantic Coast Conference — at No. 8 Notre Dame on Wednesday night, followed by a trip to No. 2 Virginia on Saturday. Krzyzewski has 421 wins in ACC regular-season and tournament play. He needs two to pass old rival and North Carolina great Dean Smith for the most in league history.

The new DA Burger

304-293-5092 ext. 2 | DAsports@mail.wvu.edu

INGREDIENTS This burger, inspired by the staff at The DA, is a perfect way to end a long day of classes.

What’s in it?

1/3 lb ground beef patty, topped with American cheese, bacon, iceburg lettuce, ranch and a perfectly cooked chicken tender But where’s it at? Check our Twitter for clues

High Street restaurant unveils new burger focused on The DA It’s 8 a.m. The alarm on your phone has been screaming at you to wake up for the past half an hour.

You finally give in. You throw on sweatpants and bundle up for the winter waiting for you outside your warm, cozy room.

As you sip coffee and drag your feet on the way to your 8:30 class, you sift through the morning’s Twitter feed. A friend retweeted The Daily Athenaeum. You skipped out on breakfast and the picture of the burger accompanying the tweet makes your stomach gurgle.

You survey the picture as if you were checking out a dime, assessing all its parts. You notice the juicy burger

patty first. On top of that, gooey melted American cheese, two mouth-watering slices of bacon, iceberg lettuce and a crispy chicken tender, all swimming in ranch on top of a perfectly toasted bun.

As you approach the door to your class, your daydream is interrupted by the hard shoulder of a student exiting the room.

“So sorry,” you say. But they just look at you angrily. You take your seat among the other students.

Your plan is to sprint out of the class at 9:20 and find this mystery burger that is haunting your hungry heart. What you don’t realize is, the other 100 students in your lecture

are thinking the same thing. As the professor drags on about something you’ll never need to know, the class is salivating over the Twitpic, which is staring into your eyes and down into your stomach.

“Next time, we’ll talk about…” But no one lets the professor finish before they scuffle around to pack up. You jam-pack the double doors that lead to freedom and a burger.

You get to High Street faster than ever before, working off some of the extra weight you gained over break and preparing to solve the mystery.

When you think you’ve looked everywhere, one restaurant comes to mind you didn’t think of before.

YESTERDAY’S WINNERS 10 a.m.: How old is The DA? Prize: $20 Starbucks Gift Card

You need to get there before anyone else to try this burger. You get to the door, almost slipping on ice. WHOOSH! The door flies open in front of you. Someone is coming out, slurping a milkshake and holding a burger.

Alas, it is The DA Burger. The one from the Tweet. You’ve solved the mystery, but it is too late. Still, you’ve come this far. You pass table after table stacked with the thing you’ve been hunting all morning.

The cashier takes your order. Finally, after only minutes, you sink your teeth into The DA Burger. As the juices fill your mouth, you realize the journey was worth your destination.

WHO IS THIS ATHLETE?

11 a.m.: Call into U92 and use our mystery word Prize: Free Jimmy John’s sub

Noon: Screenshot our mobile app on your phone Prize: Gift card to The Boston Beanery

2 p.m.:Tweet a picture of our office Prize: Free Jimmy John’s sub
