Morgantown looks to expand Sunday alcohol sales JENNIFER GARDNER MANAGING EDITOR
Morgantown businesses are patiently awaiting their chance to serve breakfast cocktails before 1 p.m. on Sundays. Instead of waiting until the general election for Monongalia County to place the decision on the ballot, Morgantown City Council is hoping the city will move things along a little faster. On Oct. 3, the state Municipal Home Rule Board will decide whether businesses in Morgantown can begin to sell alcohol starting at 10 a.m. on Sunday. If the decision goes through, restaurants might be able to begin serving as early as the first weekend in November. City Councilman Ron Bane said he believes passing the ordinance before the end of football season

He knows it would be late in the football season, but by passing it as soon as possible, he said it would help set the city up for next season. SB 298, also known as the
“Brunch Bill” was signed into law by W. Va. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin in late March, but includes a county vote requirement. Six other cities, including Clarksburg and Charleston, have already taken advantage of using the home rule board to expedite the process. According to the Charleston Gazette-Mail, busi-

FuelRod offers on-the-go charging RHETT ZILLINGER ASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR
The worry of a dead cellphone on the way to class may be one less stress with new FuelRod stations spread across WVU’s campus. The new vending machine service allows students to purchase a portable charging kit with just the swipe of a credit card.
For $20, a user can purchase a kit, which includes a FuelRod portable charger, and an adapter to charge either an Android or Apple device. When on campus, a dead charger can be swapped for a fully charged FuelRod at any SwapBox for free. The portable charger promises to give the user up to eight hours of talk time
on a cellphone, or four hours of use on a tablet. Whether students are interested in the service has not been measured, but given the constant attention the average person gives to his or her portable electronic devices, it is hard to believe the service won’t be enticing. Torin Walters, a third year business and Chinese stu-
dent, felt there could be pros and cons of the service. “I think it would be useful since students are always on the go—and students need a way to charge their phone if they are going across campus,” Walters said. “My only worry is that the battery may lose its ability to hold a charge after using it a lot, or if you lose it there is no way
to swap it for a new one.” The service is accessible on all campuses. Stations are located at the Mountainlair, Business & Economics, the Downtown and Evansdale Libraries, Evansdale Crossing, the Student Rec Center, the Engineering Sciences Building and the Health Sciences Center.
Horse Tavern employee, said right now most reservations are scheduled as soon as they are able to serve alcohol, causing them to turn away many customers. By allowing alcohol sales to begin earlier, the restaurant would receive more business, because customers would arrive at more staggered times rather than all at once.
County Commissioner Tom Bloom believes the city should wait. He is confident the city will pass home rule, but concerned the county will not be able to pass the bill if it is already legal in Morgantown. Instead, Bloom said the county should vote as a whole, to show unity. Regardless of whether or not the city passes the bill in October, the county may still place the decision in voters’ hands. If the ordinance is passed by home rule, the city will need to conduct public hearings and hold two readings at city council meetings. On the second reading, the ordinance will become a law.

Our officers have the same authority and powers as the city and county police officers. The department was recognized by Security Magazine as a Top 500 Leader in 2013 and 2014 and we were rated 14th among colleges and universities in 2014.

The action was a part of an expedition, or—as Delta McCulloch, a Point Pleasant resident referred to it—an invasion by the French to claim the Ohio Valley. Six lead plates were buried at different creeks and rivers throughout the area, and the Point Pleasant plate is the only one in almost perfect condition, save for a bit of corrosion in its corner.

WVUp All Night offers alternative weekend activities BY ERIN DRUMMOND CULTURE EDITOR
Most schools shut down for the weekend, but West Virginia University treats its students to free roller skating and breakfast at midnight. Every weekend, Friday and Saturday night until 2 a.m., WVUp All Night provides students with fun ways to pass the time, and free food to scarf down before a long night out. “(WVUp All Night) is important because we need a sense of community to start off for incoming freshman,” said Izzie Keim, an intern at WVUp All Night. “We want new students to feel like they’re part of the University. It can be overwhelm-
ing at times, it’s important to offer free events for students because of how expensive college can be.” In previous years, activities have included laser tag, build-a-bear, a mechanical bull, comedy nights and ice skating. Up All Night, as students call it, continues to pull students in throughout the semester as it prepares different activities every weekend. The large diversity of events keeps students interested by providing options for their weekend festivities. “You have to go at least once,” Abby Hall, a sophomore at the University, advised incoming freshman. “You need to experience it.” Aug. 18th through Aug.
20th opens Up All Night’s first weekend of the semester with a “Find Your Groove” theme. With discounted Astro Bowling and Billiards found on the ground floor in the Games Area, students can enjoy some friendly competition with friends. Located on the main floor in the food court, there will be an exciting twist to the Mountainlair’s usual activities. Up All Night will set up a roller rink. Starting at 9 p.m., students and guests will be supplied with skates and music, as well as free sunglasses and headbands to keep the “groovy” theme as they snap pictures in a photo booth.
Students bowl during WVUp All Night. Along with these activities, students can check out the various clubs and organizations on campus at the
ANDREW SPELLMAN / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
Student Organization Fair, which will begin at 8 p.m. both days. Students searching for a late night snack should also stop by Up All Night. Offered every weekend, the event features a free dinner buffet at 10 p.m., where students may find hamburgers, waffle fries, nachos and much more. From midnight until 2 a.m., the buffet switches to breakfast foods and continues supplying students with snacks to enjoy. Scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage gravy, biscuits, donuts and fresh fruit can be found during this time. “I love the free food,” said sophomore Lauren Mahoney. “I love being able to get out of my apartment and do something on the weekends. It’s something different.”
For those who might not want to travel Downtown, Up All Night is also hosting an event at Towers. The organization will offer tie dying at 9 p.m. on Saturday in the Blue and Gold Rooms. Along with the provided t-shirts, socks, pillow cases, bandanas and paint, Up All Night will run a That 70’s Show marathon complete with free popcorn and soda. Keim also wants the students to prepare for upcoming events, such as Tropical Retreat Weekend starting Aug. 27th, which will include a monster film party.

Thrasher makes return to Morgantown TANNER BALLARD SPORTS WRITER
It was nothing but smiles for West Virginia University sophomore Ginny Trasher on Wednesday afternoon. In addition to her first day of classes in Morgantown, she spoke to the media in a press conference at the Men’s Basketball Practice Facility. The last few weeks of her life have been anything but usual. On August 6th, Thrasher was in Rio de Janeiro competing in her first ever Olympic Games, and she did not disappoint. Her first event was the women’s 10m air rifle, and after some early struggles, she managed to make it to the final round. Starting her final round with a perfect score of 10.9, she defeated her closest competition by a whole point with a score of 208.0, capturing the first gold medal of the Games.
“We are, obviously, amazingly proud of what Ginny was able to accomplish,” said WVU head coach Jon Hammond. “Not just down in Rio but really the whole last 12 months.” After that, her victory tour began with an interview on “The Dan Patrick Show,” which is directed by WVU alumnus, Patrick “Seton” O’Connor. “They were all very nice. Dan Patrick has a great sense of humor because I think he realized that I didn’t know who he was,” Thrasher said. Throughout the rest of her stay in Rio, she was able to attend other Olympic events unrelated to shooting, such as fencing, trampoline and diving, in between her meetings with the media. In the past, athletes who have a large media buzz around them have had their patience run thin with the media, but Thrasher has
handled the process quite maturely. “It’s great publicity, not only for me like Jon (Hammond, WVU rifle coach) said, but for West Virginia University, and the sport of shooting,” Thrasher said. “The fact that my medal was the first one made it very popular and made it so that my sport can grow because of that. And I might not want the media around me all the time, but that’s par for the course, and that’s my responsibility as an elite athlete.” Though she extended her stay in Rio a couple of days, she figured missing the first few days of class would be quite stressful, so she decided to return to Morgantown. “I think I left Rio on the 15th, and we went to the airport. I ate in the Rio airport, which would be a mistake because I got food poisoning on the plane,” Thrasher said. “So, our

Volleyball to host scrimmage at Morgantown High TAYLOR HALL SPORTS WRITER
Current construction and ongoing renovations at the Coliseum have landed the WVU Volleyball team at Morgantown High School for their annual Gold vs. Blue intra-squad preseason scrimmage this weekend. West Virginia Volleyball will open its season officially against Penn State on Friday, August 26 on
its home turf. Penn State stands at ninth in the official coaches’ poll preseason rankings, as they are historically one of the most competitive teams in the nation. TCU transfer Mia Swanegan, a Missouri native, is looking to assist the Mountaineer volleyball team in making some noise in their upcoming season. Swanegan is beginning her second season as a Moun-
taineer and has worked her way up to the lineup as a middle blocker for this year. Last season, she averaged 1.84 kills per set and had 71 total blocks (0.73/ set). She also reached a season best of 13 kills three times and dug eight balls vs. Baylor during the 2015 season. As a freshman at TCU, she played in 30 sets and is only looking to improve during her second
season as a Mountaineer. Charleston, West Virginia native Hannah Shreve, the team captain and four-year starter, was ranked third in the Big 12 in blocking her sophomore year. She ended her junior season with 84 block assists, nine service aces and 10 solo blocks in 95 sets. Joining the team for her first season as a Mountaineer is freshman Julia Avo-
Thrasher will be appearing at the West Virginia State Fair this weekend with President E. Gordon Gee and The Pride of West Virginia Marching Band. Returning home has certainly been a special experience for the 19-year-old. “So yesterday, I man-
aged to land, get all my bags, and drove right down to West Virginia,” Thrasher said. “Then, when I got there, the team came over to my house with food— that I couldn’t eat—but it was very nice. They made it very special of a celebration for me.”

Avoletta achieved numerous honors in her high school’s volleyball program, including All-Conference First Team honoree, Loudon County Sport’s Athlete of the Month last September, and won the NVVA Best Utility Award during her final season of high school. Avoletta and the other seven freshman on the
team will be battling it out during the team scrimmage to see which of them will be able to play in sets against Penn State. The team scrimmage is open to anyone at no charge at 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug 20 at Morgantown High School. The team head coach, Reed Sunahara, will also host a clinic open to anyone who is interested from noon until 2 p.m., two hours prior to their intra-team scrimmage at the same location.

WVU still ‘not satisfied’ with offensive line despite recent praise ALEC GEARTY
your eyes supposed to be on this, who are you looking at, where do you need to be. All that stuff you say a thousand time a day, that’s what brings guys back because when they start focusing on that again, they start playing better.” Despite pointing out some of its flaws, Crook still believes the offensive line will be a bright side on the Mountaineers, especially with his experienced guys. Orlosky was named to the Rimington Trophy watch list, which denotes the nations top center in NCAA Division I. “When he goes out to do anything, he does it the right way,” Crook said. “He has a great work ethic.”
SPORTS WRITER
Last month, Fox Sports released a list of its top offensive lines in college football and West Virginia’s unit made an appearance at No. 5. However, even with the high praise, offensive line coach Ron Crook isn’t content with where the Mountaineer linemen are at right now. “They have the potential to be very, very good,” Crook said. “But right now they are not a very good offensive line. When we get to the first game, I hope we are better than the day before.” The offensive line, anchored by senior Tyler Orlosky, is taking the weekby-week approach. Orlosky, along with Adam Pankey, are the lone seniors. Despite having the experience in the unit, the Mountaineers seem to be having a difficult time getting back in the routine of a year ago. “They have to communicate,” Crook said. “They have to see things happen, they have to be on the same page, and that’s a work in progress.” In April, fans saw a glimpse of the potential the offensive line is able to produce. Skyler Howard was given time in the pocket, while Rushel Shell and Kennedy McCoy found room for substantial gains. Crook’s group was an underrated aspect in the offense’s win. The story was different a week ago when WVU conducted a scrimmage at Milan Puskar Stadium. In

Orlosky has taken the time leading up to the Mountaineers season opener on Sept. 3 against Missouri to work on the communication with his quarterback. Howard was sacked 31 times in 2015, the second most in the Big 12. Improving the cohesive communication was a priority. “It’s obviously a work in progress as with everything we do, but I think we’re on the right track,” Orlosky said in an interview with http://WVUsports.com. Alongside Orlosky, Pankey and redshirt-junior Kyle Bosch are currently slated to fill the guard spots. With Yodney Ca-
juste and Marcell Lazard on the tackle positions. It is still a long way to criticize the offensive line because stacked up against other offensive lines in the Big 12; West Virginia has the all-around advantage. With a mix of experience, size and style, WVU’s sights are on the ultimate goal in the conference. “I don’t have any personal expectations,” Orlosky said. “My expectation for this team is to win the Big 12 Championship.” WVU begins Big 12 conference play on Oct. 1 against the Kansas State Wildcats.

No. 5 WVU kicks off season against Penn State NEEL MADHAVEN SPORTS WRITER
The last time the West Virginia University women’s soccer team visited Penn State it was not a favorable occasion, as the Nittany Lions ended WVU’s NCAA Tournament run with a 2-0 victory in the Elite Eight. The No. 5 ranked Mountaineers certainly have their hands full as they open the 2016 season tonight at No. 2 ranked and defending national champion Penn State. “I feel that having the two scrimmages against Michigan and Virginia, it has definitely prepared us,” said WVU head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “But there’s always a feeling of uneasiness because of what Penn State always brings, but I know this group is ready.” In the preseason, the Mountaineers drew both of their games against Michigan and No. 4 Virginia, 2-2 and 1-1, respectively. The matchup with the Nittany Lions has blossomed into a crucial non-conference rivalry for the Mountaineers. “We’re all really excited for this game,” said WVU senior defender Carly Black. “Penn State obviously has a big rivalry with us. When we played them last year in the Elite Eight, I wasn’t able to be a part of that game because I had injured my ACL, but I played in the game earlier in the season when we beat them at home.” Last season, WVU split two meetings with Penn State, with the Mountaineers emerging with a 1-0 victory early on in the sea-

Both squads pride themselves on their defensive prowess. Penn State did not allow a single goal in their final eight games of the 2015 season, while West Virginia ranked No. 5 in the country in goals allowed, conceding at a rate of just 0.471 goals per game. When it comes to tactics, Izzo-Brown says that the Mountaineers aren’t going to hold back against Penn State, but warns that her team needs to limit the little mistakes, because a squad of Penn State’s caliber will make the Mountaineers pay for it. Penn State returns both of their top goal scorers from a season ago in forwards Megan Schafer and Frannie Crouse, but lost starting goalkeeper Britt
Eckerstrom to graduation. For West Virginia, the Mountaineers will be without reigning Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Kadeisha Buchanan and All-Big 12 First Team midfielder Ashley Lawrence, as the duo are currently playing for the Canadian national team in the Rio Olympics. Team Canada faces Brazil in the Bronze medal match later today. “It’s something that we’re pretty familiar with by now,” Izzo-Brown said. “We didn’t have them last year when they were in the World Cup, and a couple years ago when they were competing in the U-20 World Cup.

Later on this weekend, also as part of the Penn State Invitational, the Mountaineers will face Buffalo. The Bulls are the twotime defending regular season Mid-American Conference (MAC) East division champions. In last season’s meeting, the Mountaineers escaped with a 1-0 overtime win against the Bulls. “I do know that Penn State is having their title celebration before the game, so I hope that would hit home a little bit in our team for them to see what they accomplished, and what we didn’t,” Izzo-Brown said. The match against Penn State kicks off tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Jeffrey Field in University Park, PA., and will be televised on the Big Ten Network. The Mountaineers will face Buffalo on Sunday at noon.
