Rec parking now costs $1 an hour by evie langan staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Beginning next Wednesday, April 8, going to the gym and burning those extra weekend calories is going to come at a cost, literally. Parking at the West Virginia University Student Recreation Center will now cost $1 per hour and a pay stub will need to be displayed in the car window

as proof of payment.

The WVU Parking Authority Board’s decision comes after evaluating the parking situation at the Rec, claiming they think it will help deter students from parking there who only do so to walk to their classes in other University buildings.

“We do realize this will upset many students, but we feel that this fee will encourage those unfairly uti-

lizing Rec Center parking spaces to park elsewhere, leaving more room for those who want to actually use the facility,” said Frank Gardner, a member of the board. “It’s really a small cost, and it’s ultimately the best decision to help the parking conditions due to the construction going on.”

Gardner added that the board graciously decided to implement the fee after Spring Break, even though

he and the board believed it needed to come at an earlier time.

“Let’s face the facts, when Spring Break is over, the Rec Center mostly clears out because the majority of students stop caring about working out.

By applying this fee after break, we are doing the students who normally don’t come a huge favor.”

stub will be identical to the ones in the Mountainlair.

Students can pay for the stubs with credit/debit cards, cash or quarters.

Students seem to be less than pleased by the announcement of the new fee.

BRIDGE TO NEW CAMPUS

Jake Jarvis/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

This is a rough design West Virginia University has to expand its buildings.

Gee said University will purchase more land, provide housing

by SAM WATSON staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University President’s Office released a statement yesterday laying out the plan to expand the University to 100,000 students.

President E. Gordon Gee said last fall that he would like to expand the University to 40,000. As the planning process went along, the University administration was surprised to found Morgantown is able to house just over 100,000 students.

“Size matters. Bigger is better,” the press release reads. “More students means more revenue from tuition.”

Gee previously served as

president of the Ohio State University, which has the largest campus in the country with over 60,000 students, and recognized the huge benefits that comes with a larger institution, according to assistant vice president of University Affairs Bob Saccamano.

“It brings in jobs, it brings in money and we will be able to excel in every way,” Saccamano said. “We want to become a center for research and academics in the world.”

To accommodate 100,000 students, the University will tear down all the houses in Sunnyside and replace them with larger apartment complexes similar to University Place.

The University has also purchased 96 acres in

Westover, which will connect to the Downtown Campus through a walking bridge across the Monongahela River.

The PRT will also operate on the bridge.

“We obviously need to purchase much more land to handle an expansion of over 300 percent, but the City is being very helpful with the process and I’m sure we’ll figure it out,” Saccamano said.

The University will begin to accept more students starting in 2016 and will lower its already low admissions requirements to make place for more students.

The minimum GPA for admission will be 1.5 and high school students with a GPA higher than 3.0 will be eligible to receive full-ride

scholarships.

“To start off we just need to get as many students in as possible,” Saccamano said. “A lot of the revenue we make from tuition is from freshmen that can’t handle the workload and drop out after first or second semester. We’ve been relying on them for years to keep our operations going, and by lowering our requirements further we’ll see more students enroll for a shorter period of time, which in return lowers our expenditures per student.”

The announcement was quickly met with opposition from the Morgantown community.

When snow melts away for the winter, many familiar aspects of spring begin to appear in Morgantown.

Birds return from their journey south, yellow daffodils sprout from the ground and crater sized potholes span the width of city roads.

Potholes have been disrupting the streets of Morgantown since the city was founded. What once destroyed the wheels of horse drawn carriages is still damaging vehicles today. After countless complaints from students and other city inhabitants, Morgantown City Council has decided to work with the Division of Highways to combat this problem.

“Starting in the beginning of April, we are going to team up with the Division of Highways to really strengthen up our street repair teams,” said Jerry Pikorsky, city manager. “On the first through the third of the month, these teams will go around Morgantown and fill every pothole. Nothing will be left unfilled.”

This road maintenance will not be a one-time deal.

Pikorsky assures that this change will allow Morgantown to always be a pothole free community.

“We will also be changing the code we use to determine if and when we send the maintenance crews,” Pikorsky said. “Before these new rules, we would only fix the street if we received a minimum of ten reports about a specific pothole causing flat tires or other vehicular damages.

Now, we will send crews within twenty four hours after we receive just one call of complaint.”

Although many citizens of Morgantown expressed relief about the new mandate, the question still lin-

gers as to how the roads had gotten so destructive.

Brett Runner, communications director for the West Virginia Department of Transportations said there are many reasons behind these road conditions and why they were left seemingly unattended for so long.

“For starters, potholes are created when the roads expand and contract after winter storms when the ice continually freezes and thaws,” Runner said. “Why they haven’t been fixed though, is another story.”

Runner explained that often when people call and complain about the roads, they are calling the wrong people.

“People usually call the City of Morgantown to discuss potholes and dilapidated streets, when they should be calling us in many cases,” Runner said.

“Although the City of Morgantown is in charge of a few streets around town, some major ones are actually State Routes and those are our responsibility. Places like Beechurst Avenue, Willey Street, College Avenue and South University Avenue are all State Routes. We usually don’t fix these because people aren’t complaining to us, they’re complaining to Morgantown.”

Now, however, the peoples’ voices have finally been heard and many are very pleased about the situation.

“Just a few weeks ago I was driving down the street and blew both of the tires on the front of my car because of a massive pothole,” said Selena Robinson, a sophomore women’s and gender studies student. “I swear it looked like that pothole could have led straight down to China. It is about time this town does something about this, it is so desperately needed.” no-one-emails-us@aim.com

Greek life in trouble again, Frat suspended Sheetz in Uplace to close, Sunnyside Superette to replace by jenyrd Skynyrd staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Last night, administrators at West Virginia University unanimously voted on the end of all Greek life due to the actions of one fraternity this past week.

According to the University, fraternity Sigma Sigma was caught performing too much community service this past year, leading to the suspension of not just Sigma Sigma, but all fraternities and sororities at WVU. “The actions of this fraternity are simply against the rules and could result in even more student members of Greek organizations to break the rules by giving way more back to the community than what is allowed,” said Dean of Students Moriarty Harris.

Sigma Sigma’s constitution states that each member of the fraternity “shall complete five hours of com-

munity service each semester,” but during the Fall 2014 semester, members of Sigma Sigma logged an average of ten service hours.

“After much contemplation throughout the semester, my brothers and I all agreed that going above the suggested amount of service hours would just be a nice thing to do,” stated Johnny Smith, president of Sigma Sigma. “I’m deeply sorry for the harm our actions have caused.”

Each member of Sigma Sigma spent the five extra service hours planting flowers around Morgantown, visiting pediatric cancer patients at Ruby Memorial Hospital and sending letters to local nursing homes.

“The Interfraternity Council does not condone the actions of Sigma Sigma, but we will stand behind all Greek life at WVU to ensure that fraternities and sororities are more respectful to rules,” IFC

president Ron Hurston wrote in a letter. “We will continue to work with the University so that problems like these do not arise again and hopefully we can bring Greek life back as soon as possible.”

While the University’s decision to suspend all fraternities and sororities did not surprise most people, several outraged students took to the streets in protest late last night. Jack Dogood, Richard Helper and Suzanne Riveter, all current students and former members of Greek organizations, spent the entire night cleaning downtown roads of litter.

“When I found out about the University’s ruling, I was so appalled. I mean, are you serious? How can anyone think that doing too much good around a community is a bad thing? What in the world was the University thinking?” exclaimed Dogood, a sophomore biology student and previously

a member of Sigma Sigma.

Riveter, who was a member of sorority Chi Phi Pi before its suspension and is currently a senior history student, felt so strongly opposed to the University’s decision that she refused to stop picking up cigarette butts on High Street with her bare hands for 12 hours overnight.

“I honestly just can’t believe this. I would rather touch a thousand disgusting cigarettes on the street than be okay with the idea that fraternities and sororities can only legally do a maximum of five community service hours a semester,” she said. “I’ve never heard a more stupid thing come from the school.”

Nevertheless, fraternities and sororities will remain suspended until the University deems it appropriate to allow Greek life to continue. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

The Sunnyside Superette will move into University Place after the Sheetz grocery store experiment failed.

West Virginia University decided to end its Public-Private Partnership with the national chain and go in a different direction, citing the astronomical operating costs and less-than-stellar sales.

Operating costs were reportedly over $100,000 for the initial month of opening, more than eight times the projected per month operating costs.

Myself, the University and the University Place contractors had high hopes for this place,” Goffman said.

“We thought the grocery store design would be an excellent addition to the Sunnyside campus and would be a convenient alternative to students.”

The fallout of the Sheetz failure, while surprising, is not calamitous. The University said it will keep the same Public-Private Partnership they had with Sheetz with the Superette.

“The terms and condi-

There is also an incentive pay (if ) certain sales numbers are hit.”

Mike Litoris, executive di-

rector of Dime-Perry Construction, said he was excited to be working with McGinley and the Superette. He also expressed anguish over Sheetz’s failure, but wishes Goffman nothing but the best in future endeavors.

“I was sad to see Jack (Goffman) go, but capitalism calls for survival of the fittest, and Superette proved to be more sustainable. Their minimalis-

Another concern Sheetz faced was the upkeep of 10 slurpee machines, as well as a 16-choice latte maker that exploded and caused a massive fire, burning all the cigarettes and injuring three

“Our condolences go out to the families of the injured,” Goffman said. “We had no idea you couldn’t put the pressure on the latte machine past 11, who knew those things could explode?

“This is not right. I’ve always been a supporter of WVU and the things they do for my community, but I won’t accept this decision,” Parker said. “I’ve lived in the same house my entire life and soon I’ll have nowhere to go.”

Saccamano said he understands the strong reactions, but ensures the expansion will benefit the community in the long run.

“Some people will be disappointed with our decision and I understand that, but there is no way to make this happen without some collateral damage along the way,” he said. “This will create tens of thousands of jobs in our community which will benefit everyone in the long run. You just need to be patient and trust us on this one.”

The expansion will appear gradually over the next 13 years, with the 100,000 student enrollment scheduled to be completed by 2028. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Society-related Comics to play at 123 Thursday

by Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @westleyt93

Morgantown based poppunk band Society-related Comics is coming to 123 Pleasant Street this Thursday.

The band is celebrating its second year together, originally forming in 2013. At first Society-related Comics consisted of just two members, vocalist Brian Shays and lead guitarist Steve Monroe. “We met in a math workshop class at WVU,” Shays said.

“We both would sit in the back of the room stoned and talk about music. Then one day we decided to make it happen.”

Shortly after forming the pair started scouting for a drummer and bassist. “We put multiple ads on craigslist,” Shays said. “After a sketchy incident there we decided to stick to flyers.”

Eventually the twosome became a foursome when drummer Mike Smith and bassist Edward Clement joined.

“It was an easy decision for me,” Smith said. “I graduated two years before with a business ownership degree and a minor in leadership. Job offers didn’t come pouring in so I just stayed in Morgantown. I figured

being in a band would delay my need for a real job so why not?”

Society-related Comics draws inspiration from a broad range of bands and musical styles ranging from Nirvana to Blink-182 and Metallica. “We’re really quite different than all the other Morgantown based rock bands,” Shays said.

“They also draw a lot from Nirvana and Metallica, but we like Pearl Jam and Pantera too. That’s what makes us stand out.”

The band has put in a lot of effort in the last two years, and has amassed dozens of loyal fans, playing mostly filled shows at venues all across Morgantown.

Society-related Comics performs a lot of original music, and has a unique writing process all their own. “We really just kind of get together and jam,” Monroe said. “If something sounds good we’ll keep doing it and just add on. It’s a rather organic process.”

Brain Shays writes the lyrics, most of which are inspired by heart-wrenching life events such as breakups and love lost. “The one line ‘I’m leaving you because you’re a lazy bastard without a real job’ was taken directly from a fight with my ex-girlfriend,” Shays said.

“It really drives home the

The band members are excited about their what most people wouldn’t call success. In a few months they’ll be releasing their first album titled “The Workers of the Nation.”

“We’re real happy about

this,” said bassist Clement.

“We dug real deep for the content. Steve even learned a fifth chord for this.”

The band will be playing at 123 Pleasant Street, the grungy music bar downtown for the alternative crowd and strungout townies. Tickets are

$5, but the feeling of never being clean again is free.

The show is slated to start at 9 but that really means sometime around 11:30, or you know, whenever the sound check guy comes down enough to get things moving.

Down with Gee, up with tuition West Virginia University students are fed up. It is about time administration stopped listening to what we want and start acting on behalf of all of us in order to make us all realize we have no idea what we want.

The first step in doing so is calling for the resignation of West Virginia University’s President. Let’s face it, there is absolutely no way this guy is getting anything done. All

he does is interact with students, getting to know them and even spending time out with them on the weekends.

With so much effort being put into trying to figure out what students want there is no way this man is looking out for the financial future of WVU as a whole.

On top of all of this, the guy is getting up there in age. Wisdom may be an asset, but it is not nearly as

significant as the ability a young gun would have to squeeze every penny and make it stretch as far as possible to enable the University to run more efficiently.

As students, we need to start the revolution to overthrow the President and more toward a more economic and less peoplecentric future. In fact, we recommend a sit-in in the president’s office in order to

bring attention to our displeasure as a whole. With the force of the student body behind it, the overthrow is bound to happen.

Another way for the University to increase profit is to increase both tuition and the price of textbooks.

Increasing tuition not only further improves the financial state of the University, but it would also ensure WVU would only be

able to accept and house the most elite of students.

Although this would shuck the ideals of being both a land grant and flagship school, it would ensure the University can continue to build and take over the city that houses it.

A two-fold plan of increasing textbooks prices while also no longer cooperating with non-University afflicted textbook options

would also help to ensure a monopolizing future. By being the only textbook source and increasing the amount each book costs by a 200 percent increase will ensure only those who can truly afford it are welcome.

With these few changes, the University would be on track for a truly profitable future.

Shortening class week, improving education champ champagne columnist

West Virginia University has long had a reputation for our partying, and it’s time to kick it up a notch.

Let’s be absolutely real— nobody goes to Friday classes unless they have to or they’re boring. Monday classes? That cuts out a perfectly good night of drinking specials for a certain alternative dance club downtown. A travesty and a shame really.

So why don’t we just go with something beneficial to both students and faculty?

Instead of having a full class week students won’t bother to attend, let’s cut it down.

Faculty, we love you. We do. You’re awesome. We just don’t love you five days per week. You’re kind of like that awkward friend with whom you can only hang out a few times per week before you start rolling your eyes every time they open their mouths.

And really, how much fun do you have watching us sleep through your classes while trying not to vomit like something from “The Exorcist?”

I hope your best source of weekly entertainment isn’t containing your amusement at the reek of cheap vodka and shame on a Friday morning— I’d hate to ruin that for you.

While some of you may derive some sick and twisted pleasure from watching us miss pop quiz after pop quiz or turn green when the person next to us mentions food, I’m betting most of you would rather simply not lecture halffilled classrooms.

Students, I already know 97 percent of you will require no convincing.

A Monday off during which you can recuperate from hangover hell rather than dragging yourselves off of the bathroom floor and struggle to find matching shoes? A match made in heaven.

There are only so many times one can vomit gracefully on High Street with-

out ruining those sought-after shoes and still actually feel it’s an accomplishment.

Why not avoid the situation altogether?

And how tired are you of trying to plan your Thursday night around how early you have to awaken to glower at the a--hole who thinks it’s hilarious to only give exams on Fridays?

Administrators, this is beneficial for the University as a whole.

Grades will rise as students attend their classes more regularly and stop sleeping away their chances at a timely graduation.

The University will grow as more and more students learn of the incredibly fun college where one can get a full and formal education by only attending classes three days per week. The number of applications will rise exponentially.

More students mean more money for the University— and we all know how much WVU loves money.

nyelviskola.bme.hu

If they’re willing to kick their students out of their housing at a moment’s notice in the middle of finals week in order to officially own a vacant lot to which they’re not going to do anything for several weeks, surely this is no challenge.

After all, we have a ridiculously high salary that needs

to be paid to a football coach that can’t seem to win a game, and have you seen President E. Gordon Gee’s personal castle? That isn’t paying for itself.

All in all, shortening the class week is a perfect solution to all of our problems.

More parties, less missed classes, more money—what’s not to love?

Let’s go, Mountaineers. It’s time to put our money where our mouths are and truly earn that number one party spot.

And to the naysayers worried about the value of their degrees? Shut up. Nobody wants to hire a stiff anyway.

A tradition continues: Re-legalization of couch burning great step for city, University h. beale columnist

Thanks to plummeting arrest and citation rates, West Virginia University, Morgantown City Council and the Morgantown Police Department have agreed to re-legalize furniture on porches and couch burnings within the city limits.

This startling turn of events has left locals fuming but students and high schoolers elated. A call to start a celebratory bon-fire at the top of High Street has already been put in place.

This is a huge step forward for Morgantown as a whole. Years of anti-burning rhetoric plagued our city and caused our most beloved celebration to go up in smoke. Now students, faculty and Morgantown residents can host ceremonial burnings without fear of oppression.

E. Gordon Gecko, WVU president, had a twopronged approach to convincing the city to change its

wkupj.com

ways. First, he called a secret meeting with all the Dons of Morgantown: Gecko, himself, Huggy Bear; Mayor Jenny S. Saiyan; Lord Oswald E. Spenser, the head of Mylan Pharmaceuticals; Fred Prestion, Morgantown Police Chief; and two senior members of the Silver

Legislature. After a verdict was settled, Gecko lobbied City Council into having an emergency session to debate the pros and cons of celebratory fires. After hours of deliberation, and in the wee hours of Sunday morning, a new statute legalizing couch burnings was drafted

and passed. The bill is called “Couches burn and Dumpsters Bubble Act.” One cannot help but give a salute and hug to all those who braved this noble cause to frustration. No one saw this coming but we can all agree these past few years left us mad as hell, and we

weren’t going to take it anymore. This act of altruism is the kind of fresh start incoming freshmen could only dream about.

The Morgantown Fire Department is also excited about the prospects of street and dumpster fires starting back up again. The lack of late night calls during football season have caused their hours to go down, leaving both their wallets lighter as well as their thirst for flames unquenched.

Also, Chief Fire Marshal, Kenny Tennement, explained one reason for all the excitement was the lack of fun the firefighters have had over the last few years, citing a downturn in confiscated lighter fluid and matches, leading them to have to buy their own supplies for squad-building bon-fires.

“Honestly, with the economy the way it is, it’s tough to afford all the supplies to have our bi-monthly bonfires. We used to rely on kids being dumb and just leaving the stuff for us after we arrested them. But with the de-

crease in malicious burning citations, we just haven’t had the resources handed to us like we used to,” Tennement said. “I also, kind of, feel bad for all of the students we have arrested and had kicked out of school over the years. They were just trying to have fun, celebrate their team win or have a little group therapy if they lost.”

This kind of compassion was seriously missed the past four years when students were repeatedly tackled to the pavement for simply lighting some upholstery on fire. But no blood no foul, right?

I couldn’t be any more proud of my adopted city for finally doing the right thing and ending this ridiculous infringement on freedom.

In the past we ran an editorial about school sanctioned burnings at selected locations around campus.

This new bill does not include anything of that nature, but who cares, we can all go out and burn s---, free from prosecution.

With spring break coming to a close, West Virginia University’s President’s Office recently announced that, remarkably, there were zero arrests, citations or any other law enforcement interventions on behalf of WVU students during the break.

In fact, it would appear WVU students have taken a turn for the better, and have started choosing to party less and study more, as the same office has released reports that last semester’s school-wide grade point averages were up an entire point and a half from the

DA

Spring 2014 average, citing Fall 2014 with the highest semester GPA of all time.

One can only assume the recent move away from High Street—where low profits and general emptiness has become a marketing issue all in its own— and toward the libraries has proven profitable for students and administrators alike.

There have been many articles in The Daily Athenaeum calling for more student action, stricter punishments for underage drinking and even a general reform of our “party school reputation.” With these recent figures, it shows WVU students are finally stepping up to the plate.

“It’s like Statistics 234

has just become more interesting than drinking,” says Morgan Townings, a junior mathematics major.

“I spent last Friday running statistical inferences instead of getting white girl wasted at Joe Mama’s—and I can’t say I missed it. I was in bed by 9:30.”

Sonny Sideowitz, a sophomore psychology major, shares this view. “I used to learn about all this psych stuff to my advantage to hit on girls at bars,” Sideowitz admits. “But now I find I’d just rather quietly observe people at the library when I’m done with my work.”

Sonny brags he hasn’t so much as spoken to a girl for two months.

While the days of riots, fraternity indiscretions and

slews of underage citations are behind us, there appears to be the dawn of the new type of student: those who brag not about their weekend warrior conquests or bad decision making, but instead about the grades they received on exams and competitions over who can study the most hours on the least amount of sleep.

WVU has been widely considered a no-good party school for a while now, and moving into the direction of the “all work, no play” mentality is a refreshing spin on the stereotype promoted in previous semesters.

“Truly, if the GPA increases to an A average this year, we might have to base the whole system on a 5.0 scale,” admits an employee

of the Dean’s Office, Evan Sidale. “We’re going to keep calling a 3.5 and up an A, but starting Fall 2015 we’ll be introducing the concept of a Super A—a grade over 4.0 that will be sure to get you into any career or graduate school an undergrad could dream of.”

While many have already expressed concern over the idea of a Super A, and the general intensity at which students now find themselves competing against one another for even a basic, lesser A grade, I believe the University is truly moving to a better place.

Academia has never been WVU’s strong suit, and athletics even worse.

While the failing athletic program has, unfor-

tunately, been cut and its slim remaining profits set to go into the funding of a PRT system thirty years older than the one already utilized by WVU’s campus, playing up the academic ventures to such a high degree can only lead to future success, regardless of the startling increase in the Carruth Center’s visitors and increased reports of grade grubbing.

All in all, WVU has set itself on the proper course to fulfill its true goal: to become one of those elitist schools, accepting individuals of all types, but only if they are filthy rich and have the connections to pay off admissions.

West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins decides to start a new clothing line with only sweatsuits by john johnshon sports writer @jjjjjohnson

There are plenty of things that make West Virginia head basketball coach Bob Huggins unique, but one thing that maybe stands out the most is his attire while he coaches on the sidelines.

Most coaches wear a suit and tie, but Huggins likes to be different as he rocks a sweat suit on the sidelines.

Very rarely does Huggins dress up, he can always be found wearing his vintage West Virginia pullover.

Why? Well, because

Huggins isn’t a banker. He started wearing the pullover after the sweating through his fashionable suit while coaching a game when he was at Cincinnati. At halftime he had to change clothes because he was soaked. An assistant coach handed him a pullover and the rest is history.

Huggins has got so much recognition for his sweat suit that he’s decided to start his own clothing line of Bob Huggins sweat suits.

“People are always asking Huggs where can they get one of those pullovers,” said marketing agent Phil

McCallister. “He’s honestly tired of hearing that, so we decided we’re just going to make some so everyone can look as good as Hugins.”

The new line of sweat suits will be very similar to the Air Jordan brand. Instead of the silhouette of Michael Jordan going air born to dunk a basketball, the logo will be Huggins’ silhouette with hands up in the air as if he’s shouting at the Big 12 referee’s for calling yet another foul on Jonathan Holton.

“We thought about calling the line ‘Air Huggins,’” McCallister said with a chuckle. “Then we realized

he hasn’t been able to jump off the ground since caveman times.”

The new line of clothing will be called “Huggs” – the veteran coach is even considering making boots for female fans to compete with the ever-popular UGG boots.

Fans are ecstatic about Huggins new endeavor.

Joey Russell of Morgantown, a longtime Mountaineer fan said he wants to preorder a pullover and sweat pants as soon as possible.

“When I heard Huggins was doing this, I was like

‘Sign me up,’” he said. “I’m always telling my wife I want to own a Huggins-like pullover and now I can. This is awesome.”

Now that Huggins will have his own brand, the team will no longer wear Nike warm-ups before games. They will instead wear Huggs warm-up jackets and sweat pants. The players are excited to start a new trend.

“Huggs is probably the most stylish coach in college basketball,” said a a player on the team. “We’re going to look fresh in these new digs.

I mean our coach is going to

have his own clothing line, not even Kentucky has that.”

The new clothing line is expected to be ready by fall.

While prices are still being sorted out it’s estimated that the full set (a pullover and sweat pants) will cost around $28.

Other items will include Huggs socks, zip-up windbreakers, jackets, shorts and even toboggans.

“This is going to change the sports fashion scene,” McCallister said. “I’m excited to make Morgantown a bit more fashionable.” bobhugginssweats@gmail.com

NCAA runner-up takes his trophy with him to PCB

maybe from instagram? but really it’s from the internet.

So we found a picture of him on the beach with said trophy.

by nickelbobickel

@bringbacknickelbobickel

Freshman wrestler Zack Moiley had a season of his lifetime and came in as a runner-up at the NCAA finals on March 21. Lucky enough for him that was the beginning of spring break so he had plenty of time to celebrate with his friends.

Moiley traveled with teammates and friends to Panama City Beach, Fla., and took part in the madness that ensues there, with his trophy in hand. He said it wasn’t about flaunting what he got, he just wanted to re-

mind himself of the greatness every day.

“I just love waking up every day and reminding myself of the boss that I am,” Moiley. “People always want to take pictures with me holding it, so that’s pretty awesome.”

Don’t get it wrong, he isn’t letting the fame go to his head too much… maybe.

“Every day when we go to eat dinner or lunch, I have to be at the head of the table. I don’t care if I’m a freshman, I have the trophy and no one can top that.”

Moiley’s favorite part so far is more than likely the attention from the ladies. He

said that when he walks on the beach he basically tucks his trophy into his shorts and just pretends it isn’t there, and they all come flocking.

It’s like catching flies with honey.

Surely with the events of spring break there were enough girls to go around but apparently Moiley’s teammates weren’t too happy with the situation of him hogging up the spotlight.

“I don’t know why he thinks he can come in here and just take over,” said one of his senior teammates.

“I’ve been here since 2010 and qualified for the NCAA’s

twice and he’s just the big shot now? Not cool.”

Moraes did qualify for the championships last season and in 2013 but lost in early rounds. Although he hasn’t been on the team for long Moiley has taken a position of undeniable recognition from fans and he still respects his teammates for their leadership and dediction, even if he is taking the spotlight.

“All these guys are my brothers,” he said. “They might be salty that I’m getting more attention from girls and whatever but hey, I’m still the one with the NCAA trophy out here so I

don’t really know what they expect.”

Moiley said that while they had a grand old time celebrating in the party atmosphere of Panama City Beach, he was ready to head back to the Mountain State, with his trophy still in hand.

“I didn’t care where we stopped, I had my trophy with me. It’s not going anywhere until I get another one next year,” he said. “The men’s team lost a heartbreaker to Kentucky so I was there to give the people what they wanted, some WVU happiness and success for them to be excited about.”

According to several snapchats posted to the account that thousands of WVU students submit pictures to, Moiley was enjoying his time in the sun with his trophy and even cleaned it several times to make sure it was still shining. It did not come as a surprise that flocks of basic WVU “fan” girls gathered around to pose with the runner-up for photos that were also posted on snapchat, and probably Instagram. Hopefully he made sure not to let anyone spill any adult beverages on it. nickelbobickel@aim.com

Coach Marey is tired of people telling him what to say by nicold drapes you already know

Head coach Rick Marey has been coaching the Mountaineers for 14 seasons now. Although he has a wife and four children who are all probably of age now, he often has no filter when it comes to discussing the performances of his team.

Marey has never said anything outright bad to the media about any players directly but maybe he needs to find another outlet for his steam before he comes into post-game press conferences.

While watching him pace the side of the court during a game, one can easily see his frustration with referees or his players. Sometimes you can even make bets on how long it will take him to pull someone out of the game, depending on how his body language is.

After some choice words during one time or another, Marey decided to hold himself back a little bit better, but not without the help of an unknown friend. In a press conference follow-

ing a game, he was not too happy with the way things had gone performance wise and also with the calls from the Big 12 refs.

At the next home game and post-game meeting, the Mountaineer coach had a little note on his podium waiting for him just in case he forgot that sometimes you just have to bite your tongue.

“I’m just tired of not being able to say what I want to say,” he said. “Everyone in there knows my frustration because they know what I see and I just want to let loose with them and get it all out. I know my wife doesn’t want to hear me complain when I come home.”

Even though he works in an athletic facility with a gym and plenty of room to “let loose,” Marey just can’t find it in himself to do so.

“People tell me that working out calms them down, and I am just not about that,” he said. “I’m sweating enough on the sidelines trying to figure out how to grab a win without breaking something there’s no reason for me to

KYLE MONROE/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Dana Holgorsen congratulates his players on eating all of their pudding during warmups.

Dana Holgorsen faces drug charges after pudding allegations by cletus cartright jr. sports editor @its_cletus_time

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen didn’t just break the rules, he managed to get his team suspended for the next 8 seasons—that means no bowl games, no scholarships and no state funding.

Essentially, this means West Virginia’s football program is royally screwed.

If it wasn’t totally down the drain the day Holgorsen benched Paul Millard, it sure as hell is now.

According to DEA agent and former Mountaineer

Aaric Murray, large quantities of anabolic steroids were found in the team’s surplus of “Snack Pack” pudding inside the locker room.

“There was enough dope in that pudding to turn Kevin Hart into Shaq,” said his partner Alex Fitzgerald.

“The dude definitely has connections.”

The pudding was donated by alumni who wanted to see a stronger season out of the Mountaineers through an event called “Give the Mountaineers Snack Packs.”

Holgorsen was his usual emotional self during his

press conference, tearing up at times and constantly fighting to contain himself. But he remained adamant that he never supplied players with steroids.

“Holgorsen’s not that kind of guy,” said lifelong friend Jimmy Porter. “I know if he was spiking pudding with juice, he would’ve at least charged the players money.”

Ev e r y p l ay e r ha s claimed to know nothing of the drugged treats, and weren’t skeptical about the allegations until they noticed enhanced abilities during spring practice.

“I mean if professional

athletes take steroids, then I’m taking super steroids,” said linebacker John Bruce. “I feel like Captain America.”

Unfortunately for Bruce and the rest of the Mountaineers who actually enjoyed the ‘roid-spiked chocolate pudding, Gordon Gee is pissed.

He doesn’t want drug allegations surrounding the football program going into future seasons. But how can you blame him?

Have you seen the size of Skyler Howard since the scandal becoming widely known as “Pudding-Gate?”

The guy looks like he just

bench pressed a horse while riding another horse.

That doesn’t happen in a day.

Sources have confirmed Gee will likely postpone spring practices until a new head coach is appointed, and Morgantown Police and University Police are teaming up to keep Snack-Packs out of sight.

Any sighting of a snackpack on the front porch of a house on game day will result in a citation.

So, what have we learned from the Pudding-Gate allegations?

Dana Holgorsen is terrified about nearing the end

of his contract. Not only that, but he’s also started a trending expression, better known as “smack-packing,” which refers to the mixture of chocolate pudding and performance-enhancing drugs.

There’s word there could be a correlation between Holgorsen’s drug formula and former movie star Air Bud’s peculiar athletic abilities.

Holgorsen will go to trial Thursday, and the WVU football players will be drug tested regularly until the end of next season. ilovenascar@gmail.com

The Mountaineer stands in front of the West Virginia crowd in 2012—before the addition of the secret room.

West Virginia adds another magical football room to its kingdom did keith wiseman write this? maybe

The beloved West Virginia football team has yet another room that is dedicated to itself, which was announced on March 14.

While the team has several rooms or facilities, or whatever it needs, $1.6 million went toward this new room which is said to be filled with photos highlighting great moments in program history and features a huge theater.

Surely the theater has 162 seats and a huge projector screen, a room big enough for the entire team

and some of the coaching staff to sit and watch game film. Although that sounds all fun and good, they actually have Play Station 4’s all throughout the place.

Head coach Dana Holgorsen said the new “room” is going to be beneficial for recruiting, because what teenage athlete doesn’t want to play Madden in their free time while they could be doing homework or working out.

Redshirted freshman Justin Arndt said his favorite part about the new room is the snacks available.

“We have our own private Chick-Fil-A down here this shit is sweet,” he said.

“Now we don’t have to go down to the Lair and wait in line, they all know our order and we just eat nuggets all day.”

The fun doesn’t stop there. With the unlimited chicken nuggets and fries, there are also Red Bull dispensing machines everywhere, with the Red Bull girls making appearances on the regular.

“Coach really loves that drink, none of us know why, but it keeps him going,” Arndt said. “It’s cool with me though, every time those ladies come around all of us have a good time.”

This magical football room was made possible

from donors who give to the school regularly and no one is really sure if they know what they have gotten themselves into. Some of the seniors and other team members who are leaving are slightly jealous that they never had a great room like this when they were on the team, even though the locker room has Play Stations and televisions as well.

“I don’t really like the way these freshmen are getting some awesome things that we just never got,” said senior wide receiver Kevin White. “We always chilled in the Lair and the honeys were always comin’ up to

us there, so these kids have no idea what they are missin’ out on just kickin’ it out here at this Chick-Fil-A.” The first official team event that went on in the team room was junior day, held on March 16. Several high school juniors came to visit the University for tours and meet with the coaching staff. And boy were they impressed with the team room, as expected.

One junior running back, who’s mom would not let him tell us his name, said his favorite part was the shoe room.

There is an entire walk in closet about the size of a public restroom, full of

shoes. All kinds of sizes and all the kinds of shoes that these boys care about.

The closet has shoes from lines of athletes like Lebron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant and of course a ton of Jordan’s.

It does not come as a surprise that this room is pretty much male dominated and the only females who work there are at Chick-Fil-A and the front desk.

The college football gods can only hope that this huge improvement in the obviously poor facilities of the WVU football team will help them improve going into next season.

Holocaust survivor to give speech by kendall snee staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The saying goes that those who don’t know or learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This evening, West Virginia University will host Marcel Drimer, a Holocaust survivor and current survivor volunteer with the United States Holocaust Me-

morial Museum. In a sense, Drimer is not only the key to the past, but perhaps the key to the future.

Drimer will be the last speaker of the 2015 David C. Hardesty Jr. Festival of Ideas lecture series.

“We thought (Drimer) was important for our students to hear because that generation is dying. There are few chances to see some-

thing like this in person, hear about the bravery, and to understand how that travesty affects how we live today,” said Gretchen Hoover, senior special events coordinator of the Office of University Events.

Although he was not imprisoned in a concentration camp, Drimer survived the Holocaust as a young boy living in Drohobycz, Poland, a small town that is now part

of Ukraine. Drimer will talk about the equally terrifying journey of hiding and waiting: A journey which, Hoover explained, left Drimer emaciated.

Lisa DiBartolomeo, a coordinator of the WVU Slavic and Eastern European studies program, is accredited with having brought Drimer into the Festival of Ideas series.

GOODBYE HOT ROD

Former Mountaineer, legendary broadcaster passed away last week by taylor jobin staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Rodney Clark “Hot Rod” Hundley, former Mountaineer, NBA player and legendary broadcaster for the New Orleans and Utah Jazz died, March 27.

The Jazz announced Hundley died in his home in the Phoenix area. The cause of his death was not released.

Hundley broadcast 3,051 Jazz games from 1974-2009. He joined the franchise before its first season in New Orleans in 1974-75 and moved with the team to Salt Lake City in 1979-80.

“Hot Rod was the voice of the Utah Jazz for 35 years and his voice was synonymous with Jazz radio,” Jazz owner Gail Miller said in a statement.

“The expressions he used throughout the game broadcasts are legendary.

He had the unique ability to make the game come to life so that you felt as though you could see what was happening on the floor when listening to him call the games.

“Rod was a very special talent and will be missed by our family as well as Jazz fans everywhere. Our thoughts and condolences are with the Hundley family.”

Hundley earned the nickname Hot Rod because of his crazy oncourt dribbling antics and whirlwind maneuvers.

Hundley was the fourth player in NCAA history to score more than 2,000 points and he did it in only three years, because freshmen could not play varsity basketball at the time.

He averaged 24.5 points and 10.6 rebounds per game during three seasons and finished his collegiate career with 2,180 points. He was a two-time first team All American and currently holds eight school records. Hundley is the only Mountaineer to be drafted first overall in a NBA Draft, going to the Cincinnati Royals in 1957, before immediately getting traded to the Minneapolis Lakers. Hundley played for the Lakers for six seasons.

After his playing career, Hot Rod moved into the broadcasting booth, working Phoenix Suns games for four years, then Laker games for four more seasons.

“In (DiBartolomeo’s) teachings, she focuses on Holocaust-related literature and information. She was very interested in bringing (Drimer) in on this project,” Hoover said.

This year in particular, the 70th anniversary of the liberation of all concentration camps and the end of WWII, makes Drimer’s inspiring story especially welcomed

In 1974, Hundley became the broadcaster for the then-expansion New Orleans Jazz. He moved with the team to Salt Lake City in 1979, where he would go on to have a celebrated career in broadcasting as he did as a player, coining phases like “from the parking lot” on deep 3-pointers.

“I am saddened by the news of the passing of my longtime friend, Rod Hundley,” said Hall of Famer and Mountaineer Jerry West in a statement. “I first met Rod when I was 18 and he encouraged me to attend West Virginia University. We were Laker teammates and never lost contact.

“Rod was not only a great basketball player, but one of the best playby-play announcers in the game. He

will be missed by all those he touched through his legendary career as will his colorful story-telling.”

After Hundley’s death was announced, West Virginia basketball coach, Bob Huggins, tweeted his thoughts on Hot Rod’s passing.

“West Virginia lost a dear friend today as Hot Rod Hundley has passed away. He will be dearly missed. Rod was not only a friend of WVU but a dear friend to our basketball program. I will miss him very much. RIP Hot Rod,” Huggins said.

Hundley is one of two players to have his basketball number retired at WVU; Jerry West is the other. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Inspired by change, West Virginia University’s branch of the United Way campaign is on the hunt for creative students looking to show off their talent.

This year, the campaign is holding a contest to find a student to design the annual Gold Rush T-shirt.

In years past, program members have been responsible for the shirt’s design. However, last year a student was recruited to give the outdated design an overhaul.

Pleased with the change, the President’s Office, in charge of coordinating the program, decided to take this year’s search beyond the campaign and reach out to the student body.

Campaign graduate assistant Jackie Riggleman described the change the program is looking for.

“Every year the design has been something along the same lines, and last year we kind of broke the mold a little bit. This year we want to do something very different. A fresh new look for the Gold Rush shirt,” Riggleman said.

Campaign officials are searching for students with creativity and Mountaineer spirit to create a look that will inspire students and honor this year’s theme, “We’re in this Together!”

Riggleman said the feedback the program received from students, along with last year’s success, played a major role in inspiring this year’s contest. Riggleman also spoke about

WVU’s role in the United Way campaign itself.

“West Virginia University has consistently been one of the highest fundraisers. This year, we’ve raised over $300,000,” Riggleman said.

A majority of these proceeds come directly from staff and administration that make weekly pledges to the campaign over a nine-week period. United Way is the only charity with the authority to solicit from employees on campus.

WVU is part of the United Way of Monongalia and Preston counties. This charity raises money every year to support 27 local organizations such as the American Red Cross, Salvation Army and many more. A majority of these organizations depend on the generosity of the United Way to continue their operations.

All of the proceeds from the Gold Rush T-shirt sale go directly to the WVU United Way campaign.

A committee of members from the President’s Office and the Student Government Association will select a winner for the design contest. The winner will have their design displayed on the official 2015 Gold Rush shirt.

The contest is open to all WVU students. Designs are to be submitted before April 10.

Contest rules and regulations can be found at http://unitedway.wvu. edu/goldrush. Any submissions can be sent to jackie.riggleman@mail. wvu.edu. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Loan recipients on ‘strike’ meet with federal officials WASHINGTON (AP) — Pamela Hunt is so overwhelmed by her $56,000 in student loans for what she considers a worthless criminal justice master’s degree that she’s joined others on a “debt strike” and refusing to pay back the money.

On Tuesday, she walked out of a meeting with officials from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Education Department she and other former students from for-profit colleges attended on behalf of the “Corinthian 100” feeling cautiously optimistic about the burden being eased.

“I think it can go either way,” said Hunt, 55, who works in home health care in Ledyard, Connecticut. She obtained her degree online through Everest College.

The group’s name comes from troubled Corinthian Colleges, Inc., which operated Everest College, Heald College and WyoTech before agreeing last summer to sell or close its 100-plus campuses. About 100 current and former students are refusing to pay back their loans, according to the Debt Collec-

tive group behind the strike.

The former students argue that the department should have done a better job regulating the schools and informing students that they were under investigation.

“I know they heard us but I don’t know if they actually understand the significance of what a lot of us are going through,” said Hunt, describing former students unable to take out car loans and on the verge of going homeless.

By not paying back their loans, the former Corinthian students potentially face a host of financial problems, such as poor credit ratings and greater debt because of interest accrued.

Already, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has asked the courts to grant relief to Corinthian students who collectively have taken out more than $500 million in private student loans.

Officials from the bureau agreed to the meeting Tuesday that included Ted Mitchell, the Education Department’s undersecretary. The Education Department is the former students’ main target because they want the de-

partment to discharge their loans.

In a statement after the meeting, Denise Horn, a department spokeswoman said what these students have experienced is “troubling” and it will will review every claim and “continue to investigate Corinthian to help students as much as possible.”

Luke Herrine, an organizer with the Debt Collective in attendance, said government officials seemed “committed to actually doing something about this” and told them they would get back to the former students within 30 days on a proposal they presented.

Many of Corinthian’s troubles came to light last year after it was placed by the Education Department on heightened cash monitoring with a 21-day waiting period for federal funds. That was after the department said it failed to provide adequate paperwork and comply with requests to address concerns about the company’s practices, which included allegations of falsifying job placement data used in marketing

Today, she’s working in collections for a property management company and can’t afford the approximately $1,500 a month she owes in loans.

She said it’s only fair that the federal government help them since students weren’t told the colleges were under investigation.

“I would like to see them have to answer for why they allowed these schools to continue to take federal loans out when they were under investigation for the fraudulent activity they were doing,” said Dieffenbacher, 37.

123 Pleasant Street to host bluegrass band cabinet

By Chelsea Walker A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Picking through the traditional styles of Appalachia with its own modern twist, eclectic group Cabinet will play at Morgantown’s 123 Pleasant Street Thursday.

With roots embedded in and around the Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, Pa., area, this musical ensemble mixes traditional Appalachian folk with bluegrass, country undertones and touches of reggae. Cabinet consists of vocalist Pappy Biondo on

banjo, vocalist J.P. Bionodo on the mandolin, vocalist Mickey Coviello on the guitar, vocalist Todd Kopec on the fiddle and percussionist Jami Novak. Cabinet got its start when J.P. Bionodo and Coviello started toying with the sounds produced by their mandolin and guitar. Cousins J.P. and Pappy Bionodo grew up together, sharing a love for music.

“Just from the three of us playing out, we got to know the other guys who just happened to be in the scene in Wilkes-Barre,” J.P. Bionodo said. “We all just kind of

linked up through playing and it all just kind of turned into Cabinet.”

Cabinet’s unique sound comes from its love for traditional bluegrass and even rock and metal. J.P. Bionodo said each member brings with them an individual style of music, allowing the group to pull from various genres. J.P. Bionodo and cousin Pappy Bionodo write most of the lyrics for Cabinet’s tracks, although the entire group aids in creating the expressive songs. J.P. Bionodo said when the group first started, the ballads were

mostly made up from imagination. Now, as a seasoned band, Cabinet pulls lyrical inspiration from love, struggle and life.

“We write about happy things too,” J.P. Bionodo said. “A little bit of storytelling too, just making fun stuff up. It’s all about having a good time performing and in songwriting.”

Since Cabinet’s start in 2006, the group has collectively released three studio albums and multiple live albums. As of now, Cabinet is traveling on its three-week, countrywide tour promot-

ing its newest album, “Celebration,” making stops from Colorado to West Virginia and Vermont. “Celebration” is an eight-track record that features two popular tracks “Pine Billy” and “Celebration.” The ensemble’s performance at 123 Pleasant Street will mark the third to last of its remaining shows. J.P. Bionodo said those in attendance can expect to have an evening full of dancing and good times.

“It’s high-energy, most of the stuff; we do a couple slow ones,” J.P. Bionodo said.

“It’s pretty much just a good dancing time; bring your dancing shoes.”

J.P. Bionodo said Cabinet owes a lot to the fan base that has come to grow around the band, called the Cabinet family. While Cabinet has played at venues across the Mountain State, this will mark Cabinet’s first-ever appearance onstage at 123. Although it’s the band’s first time visiting Morgantown, J.P Bionodo said Cabinet has a love for West Virginia. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Morgantown Brewing Co. jazz night Clever April Fools’ Day pranks to pull

by Kendall Snee A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Every West Virginia University student is familiar with Morgantown Brewing Company, and if you aren’t, you’re doing college wrong, one might say. With its charming array of craft beers and friendly atmosphere, Brew Pub is loved by both alumni and students. But one of Morgantown’s best kept secrets may be their Thursday night jazz features starting at 9 p.m. and going till close.

Cody Barcroft, a senior jazz studies student, has been attending Brew Pub’s infamous jazz night every Thursday since his freshman year. Cody sets himself apart from the other performers each week by being the most noticeable chameleon.

Barcroft blends into the jazz group performing.

With a smile and a shake of his long mane of hippie hair, Barcroft joins in almost every number, bass in hand.

“I think when most people hear jazz they

put this immediate label on it,” Barcroft said.

“But with the improvisation involved, it can literally be any style of music.”

Barcroft went on to explain why it’s so easy for random people to jump on stage and play an unpracticed song with each other. Using the example “I’ve Got Rhythm,” a famous jazz chord progression, Barcroft said specific tune is used in several other well-known songs, and once someone knows the chorus they just have to have a solo ready and prepared to perform upon their specific turn. For instance “I’ve Got Rhythm” has had so many melodies written over it, it can be heard in the intro to the old hit TV show “Meet the Flintstones.” With such similar melodies it’s easy to recognize a song and get into it.

“You may be playing one tune and someone will just start into something else and you just go with it,” Barcroft said.

Barcroft further acknowledged the talent he has seen over the years at Brew Pub on

jazz night, saying that a lot come from the music department and thoroughly enjoy this kind of thing.

“Anyone can come down and play,” Barcroft said. “But this whole idea was built by students, It started a few years before I came to school, got shut down and a bunch of kids wanted it back so they restarted it.”

Barcroft further instructed on how the jazz forum goes. The head, which is when whoever is leading the song, point to their very own head to signal to everyone to hit the chorus again. The way in which this works is by having everyone play the chorus, then each plays a solo they have been working on, and then back to the chorus, or ‘head’ again. It was fascinating to see this process in action afterward having had Barcroft explain all of this.

“Everyone should come to jazz night because anyone can enjoy it. There’s something for everyone, dance, get some drinks,” Barcroft said. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Freshman Zeke Moisey faces Iowa State’s Kyle Larson during a match earlier this season.

True freshman Zeke Moisey has run in the NCAA Championships, finishes runner up in final match by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University wrestler Zeke Moisey became the first unseeded competitor since 2003 to reach the championship round of the 2015 NCAA Division 1 Championships in St. Louis on March 21, and WVU’s first NCAA semifinalist since 2005.

The tr ue freshman 125-pounder from Northampton, Pa., defeated No. 15-seed Chasen Tolbert of Utah Valley, 14-6, in the first

round before advancing to the second round where he would face No. 2-seed and returning national finalist Nahshon Garrett of Cornell.

Garrett previously won a 19-8 major decision over Moisey at the Northeast Duals in November.

After the first round, West Virginia head coach Sammie Henson said, “You have to want to battle in this tournament. You have to want to take wins from your opponent, not just survive. We need to make it happen tonight.”

That evening, Moisey upset Garrett, a heavy favorite,

5-2, to advance to the quarterfinals where he would face No. 7-seed Eddie Klimara of Oklahoma State.

Klimara previously defeated Moisey during the regular season and again in the 2015 Big 12 125-pound title match.

“Zeke (Moisey) wrestled smart, stayed within the gameplan and showed his maturity,” Henson said after the match. “He needs to wrestle with the same mindset tomorrow and live in the moment. Great things happen if you do that.”

Boy, did they ever.

Moisey eventually found redemption in the quarterfinals, earning a 5-2 decision over Klimara, earning AllAmerica status. No. 6-seed Thomas Gilman of Iowa awaited the unseeded freshman in the semifinals.

West Virginia’s unseeded freshman needed only 52 seconds to pin the heavily-favored sophomore from Iowa, sending shockwaves through the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. “(I) went out and really wanted to be offensive,” Moisey said after the win. “(I) got in on a shot. (I) felt re-

ally good. (I) finished the first takedown; figured I’d just keep being offensive.”

“Zeke (Moisey) is wrestling on full throttle and moving the best I have seen him all year,” Henson said.

Given the unexpected amount of upsets – not only at 125, but in just about every other weight class – Moisey advanced to face No. 4-seed Nathan Tomasello of Ohio State for the 125-pound title.

Moisey’s incredible run ended in the finals, however, as redshirt freshman Tomasello was crowned as the 2015

NCAA champion at 125 after defeating Moisey, 9-5.

“I’m extremely proud of Zeke (Moisey) and his performance this weekend,” Henson said. “He represented West Virginia University and the Mountaineer wrestling program with guts and honor.”

Moisey capped off an exceptional freshman campaign as the 2015 NCAA runner-up at 125, and became the program’s 30th All-American and the Mountaineers’ first since 2007. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia opens season in Jacksonville, prepares for warm weather and outdoor competition by dj deskins

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University women’s track and field team completed their first event of the outdoor season this past weekend in Jacksonville, Fla., at the University of North Florida Spring Break Invitational.

The transition to outdoor is a welcomed one for the Mountaineers who are excited to take on their competition in warmer weather and end the long indoor season.

“We are really looking forward to the weather change,” said head coach Sean Cleary. “The last two winters have been quite rough on everybody, so with spring comes a rebirth in our disposition.

We spent a few days in Florida last week and the atmosphere was definitely positive.”

One of the biggest factors Cleary and his coaching staff have to address when transitioning to the outdoor season is the weather itself, particularly wind. It forces them to change the way they train because depending on the

direction of the wind, it can add or remove multiple seconds from a runner’s time.

“Once we leave the shell building, our kids need to adjust to the wind in training,” Cleary said. “For a few weeks our times and jumps suffer due to the elements, but in the long run we love being outdoors breathing fresh air.”

WVU was able to put 10 athletes on the podium during the Big 12 Indoor Finals, which left Cleary and his staff pleased. Their mindset entering the championship was to place somewhere between eight and 10 without having to return some of its top athletes before the outdoor season.

“As a coaching staff, we sit down and map out our goals for the entire year, placing an emphasis on those moments that best suit our team,” Cleary said.

“This year we determined that we would really put our kids in a position to succeed in the fall and take the winter as more of a stepping stone to the spring.”

The outdoor season adds the steeplechase and 10,000-meter run to the Mountaineers’ list of

In the steeplechase, Cleary will return All-Big 12 runner Megan Yuan and introduce Renee Maisonnueve, but could possibly add more runners as the season progresses.

The 10,000-meter will see WVU return NCAA AllAmericans Allison Lasnicki and Gillespie. Cleary expects them to lead a talented group of freshmen in Maggie Drazba and Brynn Harshbarger as they approach the Big 12 Outdoor Finals.

editorial

Identifying drug abuse around you O n Mo n d ay , Th e Charleston Gazette published an article addressing the concerns and reasons behind West Virginia having the highest rate of drug overdose deaths in the U.S. According to the article, many professionals point back to the prescription painkillers as the source of heroin addiction in the state. Creating a similar high, heroin use is cheaper and more accessible than the prescriptions. In just Kanawha County, an EMS Chaplin reported they respond to an average of two overdoses a day.

Numbers like this are shocking to the average citizen, but yet seem to receive so little attention in our daily news. Addiction is an illness many people fight daily, and it is impor-

tant that we as the next generation of leaders and simply as citizens recognize.

The important issue is not who to blame, but how to help.

We must make strides to help those in need. The first step to doing this is recognizing this is a problem in the state we live and not expect it to go away on its own. A further step is paying attention to the behavior of friends and loved ones and work with them to stop abuse before it begins.

Education is key in making changes toward a brighter future. By identifying the warning signs of addiction, recognizing the role it plays in our community becomes easier.

Professionals within the article stated the intense

manual labor and aging population to be sources of the initial painkiller addiction. Historically, physically stressful industries such as timber and mining have prevailed in West Virginia.

Preserving jobs and tradition while also helping to prevent these deaths is a heavy task to take on. However, it is a task of our generation. For those of us native to West Virginia (and for those who have fallen in love with this beautiful, temporary home) we are invested in seeing the state make its way off of lists such as this.

It is time for this generation to change the conversation regarding those flaws within the state. www.balboahorizons.com

commentary

Oversimplifying the severity of mental illnesses emily torbett columnist @emilytorbsda

When it was reported last week a German commercial airliner plunged from the sky and slammed into the French Alps, killing all on board, the world was shocked. When it was revealed the tragic loss of life may not have been accidental, but rather the result of deliberate actions by the flight’s co-pilot to destroy the aircraft, the world was in disbelief.

Germanwings Flight 4U9525, in route from Barcelona, Spain, to Düsseldorf, Germany, carried 144 passengers and six crew members. According to information derived from black box recordings, the co-pilot likely locked the chief pilot out of the cockpit when he exited briefly to use the restroom. Then, the co-pilot commenced to manually steer the plane down into the mountains.

When the massive jetliner crashed at speeds upward

of 700 kilometers per hour (or 434.96 miles per hour), the suicidal co-pilot as well as the other 149 people on board were instantaneously killed.

At this time, details of the tragic story continue to pour in. Highlighted are those concerning the flight’s final moments and the seemingly bizzare motive behind the deadly actions of 27-year-old co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz.

As evidence emerged that Lubitz suffered from suicidal tendencies and long-standing mental illness, sensational reports describing the “Madman in the Cockpit” have made headline news around the world. As every publication from the seedy tabloids to the major news outlets capitalize on the tragic story and characterize Lubitz as crazy, unhinged and psychopathic, many of us are left questioning why he was even allowed to pilot the plane.

At the forefront is the question of whether or not this catastrophic loss of life

nbcnews.com

could have been prevented if someone had only seen it coming.

Perhaps the simplification of the mentally ill Lubitz as a suicidal psychopath, hell bent on tak-

ing 149 innocent lives down with him, serves to make sense of a seemingly senseless act. However, the characterization of a mentally ill person as “loony,” regardless of the

situation, only oversimplifies a problem without a simple answer.

When we speak this way about people with mental illness, when we call them names, we dehumanize

them. Maybe some will argue anyone who would willingly cause a tragedy of this magnitude is somehow subhuman, however, this only adds to the same problem causing such a tragedy in the first place.

If we call Andreas Lubitz “mad” or “crazy” because he suffered from depression and suicidal tendencies, we only further the prejudices placed on people with mental illness and discourage them from seeking the help they need.

If we wish to prevent future tragedies caused by mental illness we must change the way in which we report such events.

Instead of painting Andreas Lubitz as a one-ina-million destructive maniac, we should highlight the dangers of mental illness gone untreated and the ways in which those suffering from similar destructive thoughts can take control and seek help before it’s too late. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The under appreciation of the adjunct professor, higher ed instructors timothy hayes ohio state university

Take a moment to consider who is teaching you.

He might be a professor straight from finishing his dissertation, another undergrad reading one chapter ahead in the book, or a 60-something professor who still can’t figure out how to turn on a projector.

For most of you, they are just another teacher in a long stream of educators from preschool to now. You may have a passing knowledge about them or be strongly acquainted, but how much do you know (or care for that matter) about their working conditions or wages? Probably, surprisingly little.

American professors across the country are perhaps one of the most underrated and under appreciated groups of workers in the world. They work 50 hour, even 70 hour work weeks, for abysmal pay with no benefits, and no job security. That means no year to year employment guaranteed, no sick leave, no retirement assistance, and no healthcare of any kind.

Surprisingly, most students who are in close relation to professors constantly have little to no understanding of how bad their educators’ workplace environment actually is.

Consider what kind of rigors you have to go through to get your degree. Doubtless you applied to a competitive university and were accepted on certain terms and conditions along with between 300 and 30,000 other

DA

d.lib.ncsu.edu

students.

You will then, have completed or are currently completing four to five years at that institution, again under certain terms and conditions. You then graduate with a degree ready to tackle full-time employment.

Now let’s look at what professors go through. On top of the above, they will then apply to a competitive graduate program at an institution, sometimes the same school, and pursue a Master’s degree in a field for two to four years alongside 100-10,000 other students.

Now, that professor-tobe must be invited or apply to a PhD program that is frequently not at their undergraduate or graduate school. There, the professor to be will do research or assist, teach, and write another paper, the doctoral thesis or

dissertation.

They will be at that institute for two to four years again. Finally, if they pass a series of grueling examinations by current professors, they will be awarded their PhD. After all these years of hard work, dedication, and profound contributions to their field, what can these new professors expect? Not much.

Usually in American universities, new professors enter as temporary, contractual educators who may have access to the university’s enormous resources, but are paid a pittance compared to senior professors. They enter as adjunct professors, move up to assistant, then tenuretrack, and finally tenured or full professors if they are very fortunate.

Full professors cannot be fired on academic grounds and as such have fewer re-

strictions on their job whereas any professor not tenure-track or tenured is constantly under pressure to perform.

Adjunct professors make up an alarming 41.5 percent of the nation’s professors according to the U.S. Department of Education in a 2011 survey, while tenure track and tenured are less than a quarter of the total faculty.

The rest is made up of fulltime, non-tenured or visiting professors and lecturers.

Assistant or adjunct professors are expected to teach and do their relevant research like full professors, but if they have a class that does not do well or they receive very poor student reviews, they can be let go at the end of their very short, sometimes one-semester contract.

They are reviewed periodically to assess their per-

formance and kept or fired based on student reviews, grades, contributions to research, and other criteria.

While this is true for some universities, it is not always true. Some universities such as Tufts University publish how departments go about renewals.

Pay differences in adjunct and tenured professors are astronomical; there is approximately a $100,000 income gap. Because adjunct professors have been historically parttime employees, they receive less pay for work they do.

This used to be a good position for part-time professors who might be a professional in their field and teach on the side. I personally know an adjunct professor who teaches on the side, home schools her children, and is otherwise a stay-athome mom.

While this may be beneficial to those specific environments, most adjunct professors have to take several appointments at several universities to make ends meet since adjunct earnings have not risen in tandem with inflation since the 1970s.

Currently, adjunct professors are fighting to get recognition and change these problems. With a saturated job market, getting and keeping an appointment at a university is extremely difficult. Adjunct professors are joining forces in unions, forming together to force universities to provide at least higher pay, if not benefits, and a more democratic system in universities.

The Service Employees International, famous for

organizing the fast-food industry walkout to demand a doubling of the federal minimum wage, is also trying to help adjunct professors. They demand approximately $15,000 per course taught (compared to the $2000-$2700 average), benefits like sick leave, and healthcare.

This past February 28 was also National Adjunct Walkout Day, an event organized by professors to help students recognize the problem to force educators to try and function for one day without a majority of their educators.

This event is part of a bigger National Adjunct Awareness Week to expose the problem.

While I have hopefully shown you this problem well, my research has only scratched the surface of this.

Ask your professors about it.

Chances are they will love to talk about their job. This problem of underemployment means stressed, overworked educators who may not be able to teach you well enough. Until recently, this wasn’t discussed openly and only in the last two years has it been examined with any detail.

My research presented to you here is disparate and in need of roping in, but since the topic is new, it is subject to quite a bit of bias and has fuzzy edges (like the $700 dollar range in reported average per course compensation).

This issue reflects deeper cracks in the national education system as a whole.

Therefore, I encourage you to seek out the information, make informed decisions about it and act on it.

WVU faces Temple in WNIT tonight by david statman sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University women’s basketball team will try to keep their deepest postseason run in a decade going tonight when the Mountaineers take on the Temple Owls in the semifinals of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament at 7 p.m. at the WVU Coliseum.

Once again the Mountaineers will have the good fortune of serving as the hosts – their run of four straight WNIT wins at home has driven them into the tournament semifinals for the first time since 2005, when West Virginia fell in the WNIT final to Southwest Missouri State.

Although the disappointment of missing out on the NCAA Tournament still lingers, the Mountaineers have

surged through the WNIT with a renewed energy, blowing out Buffalo, Hampton and Duquesne before taking on Villanova on Sunday.

Despite trailing by four with 30 seconds left, West Virginia sent the game to an extra session after a late Linda Stepney steal led to a gametying Bria Holmes basket, and ended up winning the game 75-70.

Senior forward Averee Fields led the way with 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Mountaineers, and the All-Big 12 Honorable Mention has been the linchpin of her team’s WNIT campaign, averaging a team-high 17.3 points and 9.5 rebounds in West Virginia’s four-game run.

Meanwhile, regular season leading scorer and AllBig 12 First Team selection Bria Holmes has chipped

in 16.3 points a contest, as the Mountaineers have outscored their opposition by an average of over 17 points.

After facing off with former Big East rival Villanova in the tournament quarterfinals, the Mountaineers will renew hostilities with an old conference opponent from even further back in the program’s history: West Virginia holds a record of 24-6 against Temple, with most of their matchups coming in their shared days in the Atlantic-10.

The Owls come into the game with a record of 20-16, and have won 10 out of their last 12 games dating back to the regular season. While the Mountaineers have largely steamrolled their competition in the WNIT, Temple has been forced to play all but one of its tournament games on the road.

Temple had to pull out

road wins over Marist and Penn before getting the chance to play on their home floor in a third-round overtime shootout win over N.C. State. Although the Owls trailed late in overtime, sophomore guard Feyonda Fitzgerald banked in a buzzer-beating runner to win the game, 80-79, and send Temple through to the quarterfinals, where they would defeat Middle Tennessee State and set up their date with the Mountaineers.

Fitzgerald has led the way during Temple’s WNIT run, averaging 15 points a game.

The Owls also have three other players averaging double figures in that four-game stretch: Senior guard Tyonna Williams, junior Erica Covile and freshman Tanaya Atkinson. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Florida State’s Winston shows off for NFL Coaches and GMs TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Jameis Winston dodged brooms and blocking pads.

He threw over outstretched arms and tennis rackets. He completed passes from the pocket and on the run.

Even when it was time for a brief break during Florida State’s pro day Tuesday, Winston grabbed the water bottles and served his teammates.

No doubt, Winston put on quite a show for NFL coaches, general managers and scouts.

The Seminoles star threw passes for nearly an hour, demonstrating arm strength, accuracy and stamina while drawing cheers from the hundreds on hand.

His next public workout might be as the top pick in the NFL draft.

Winston sent a strong message - literally - that he should be the first player taken in next month’s draft. Asked why Tampa Bay should select him, Winston didn’t hesitate to respond. “Because I’m the best player in this draft,� he said.

It would be hard to argue after his 55-minute passing session Tuesday that only solidified what NFL teams have seen from Winston the last two years as Florida State’s starter.

Winston completed 91 of 102 passes, with at least half of the incompletions being drops. Of course, the routes didn’t include defenders, but executives were more concerned with little details that typically go unnoticed to untrained eyes. “It was very good, excellent. He had a great day,� Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said. “He threw a

full nine innings. It looked good.�

Licht said Winston was in better shape than he was at the NFL combine, which should alleviate any concerns that may have arose after those unflattering photos of Winston’s gut circulated on the Internet and on social media sites. “I think that maybe puts a little water on that, puts that fire out,� said Licht, part of a big Bucs contingent that included coach Lovie Smith and offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter.

Licht said Winston’s conditioning, leadership and arm strength stood out at Florida State’s indoor practice facility. “That was pretty impressive,� he said. “I’m sure it’s bittersweet for the coaching staff here at Florida State to watch him today.�

It wasn’t just Winston, either.

Defensive tackle Eddie Goldman, defensive end Mario Edwards Jr., versatile offensive lineman Cameron Erving and cornerbacks Ronald Darby and P.J. Williams also proved to be worthy of early round picks.

Nonetheless, Winston got most of the attention.

He announced in January he was entering the NFL draft, leaving behind a tumultuous college career that included a lengthy sexual assault investigation. He met with teams at the combine and met with the Tennessee Titans, who have the No. 2 pick in the draft, following his pro day Tuesday. Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt declined interview requests. So did New Orleans coach Sean Payton.
