NEWS

BOG to decide future of Arnold Hall

BY KAYLA ASBURY CITY EDITOR Love it or hate it, WVU students have strong feelings about Arnold Hall and the news that it may soon shut down.

“I’m kind of for it (closing) because it’s really run down,” said freshman Sarah Sample, of Leesburg, Va. “For example, my hot water doesn’t work right now and I’ve been having to go to my friend’s place to shower, which isn’t very fun. It’s just kind of gross.”

For many, Arnold Hall is a staple of their time at WVU. “Arnold holds a special place in my heart,” said freshman Pat Heck, from Wyoming, Pa. “They should only tear it down if something better is on the way.”

Joseph Porturica said he liked living in Arnold because of the location. But won’t be sad to see it go. “I agree with the decision. It will make space for better things,” he said.

The WVU Board of Governors will meet Friday to decide the fate of the 60-yearold building located on the corner of Prospect and Willey Streets.

“This is part of the ongoing efforts to provide a high quality environment for students,” said April Kaull, assistant director of University Relations.

“Arnold is one of the oldest residence halls on campus… so it was really necessary to provide an updated facility

to accommodate the needs of today’s students.”

The closing is part of the University’s 2012 Student Housing Master Plan, Kaull said.

Although the plan shows Arnold remaining open through 2022, Kaull said the opportunity for Arnold to close presented itself.

“The entire goal of the Master Plan was to begin to take offline and upgrade student housing,” Kaull said.

“And this is consistent with the goal of that 2012 plan.”

Kaull said there are no immediate plans for Arnold Hall. University officials said there were not any health hazards in Arnold.

If the closing is approved, the University will use the south tower of University Place, on University Avenue, as a resident hall beginning the Fall 2017 semester. There are 411 beds in Arnold. University Place North will not be affected.

Students currently pay $2,655, per semester for a double room in Arnold.

Arnold is the fourth oldest residence hall on campus and houses mostly freshman.

Boreman South is 82 years old, Dadisman is 75 and Stalnaker is 99.

University officials said there will be no layoffs or reductions in staff, although some Arnold Hall dining staff are worried, said Kyleen Lewis, a food supervisor at Arnold.

“All of the staff is really sad about this,” Lewis, who

Community Reactions How did people take the news on Twitter?

Arnold Hall and Apartments was constructed in 1957 and may close following a WVU Board of Governors vote this Friday.

Arnold holds a special place in my heart.

They should only tear it down if something better is on the way.

- Pat Heck, Freshman, Wyoming, PA has worked at Arnold for 23 years, said. “We’ve seen thousands of kids come and go in here over the years. You get to meet a lot of them and there are some that stay in your mind. It’s just going to be a big change for all of us. We hate to see it go.”

But many students don’t.

“Lolol they finally realized what a dump it is,” one student tweeted in response

to the news of the potential closing.

The meeting will take place at 10:30 a.m. Friday in the Rhododendron Room of the Mountainlair. Board of Governors meetings are open to the public.

Letter to the editor In case you missed them: Trump’s executive orders so far

The DA receives a lot of email. We thought you might be interested in how we respond to our readers and their concerns.

Here’s a letter we received from a reader in England this week:

BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR President Donald Trump wasted no time making changes after his inauguration just five days ago. He’s already made major decisions that will effect plenty of people. So is it the apocalypse or a positive new era for American politics?

Let’s take a look.

-Support for the Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipeline One of the biggest grassroots movements of 2016 was in protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Groups united across the country to battle the construction, citing climate, environmental and cultural concerns. Trump now reignites this conflict as he moves for the pipeline to be continued.

Trump has also asked lawmakers to reintroduce legislation to allow the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. It was previously vetoed by Barack Obama.

This is right in line with Trump’s commitment to the energy industry and his vow to create energy-related jobs despite potential environmental damage. With these moves Trump also solidifies himself as an opponent to climate change efforts, which is not surprising given his 2012 tweet, “The concept of global

-Abandonment of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a proposed free-trade agreement between the US and 11 other countries, came under attack during the first debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton. Trump called Clinton out for praising the agreement as a “gold standard.”

Throughout his campaign

Trump vowed to scrap the deal. In doing so, many feel Trump opens the door for China to escalate trade with those 11 booming countries.

In contrast, Trump has said he intends to actually re-negotiate NAFTA, the 32-year-old trade agreement between Canada, Mexico and the US. -Reinstatement of the “Global Gag Rule,” or Mexico City Policy The Mexico City Policy, first implemented by Ronald Reagan in 1984, blocks all federal aid to groups over-

seas who are involved with abortion.

It is a policy that has shifted during the last five administrations. After Reagan enacted it, Bill Clinton removed it, then George Bush re-enacted it and then Barack Obama removed it.

Now Trump has reinstated it again.

Groups dependent on this funding also provide contraception and HIV prevention services. Trump has been criticized for signing the agreement surrounded by an all-male audience; certainly a bad PR move.

- Freeze on Federal hiring On Monday Trump fulfilled a campaign promise by freezing federal jobs. Jobs in the military, national security and public safety are not included.

The move was met with criticism. “The federal budget cannot be balanced on the backs of our federal workforce,” said Rep. Barbara Comstock, (R-VA.) It falls in line with Trump’s campaign promise to “drain the swamp,” his campaign solution to fix the federal government.

Dear Mr. Athenaeum, After a serious thought, i decided to reach you directly and personally because i do not have anything against you, i am Elizabeth Moore (Mrs.) I was approached through a friend of mine who works with one of the commercial banks here in England.

They wanted to transfer a vast amount into your bank account.

You should act with hindsight and wisdom to avoid regrets later on as the truth is left for you to see.

You are advised to urgently respond to this letter to enable me facilitate your prompt payment while i apologize for the difficulties you might have encountered in the pursuit of your transfer, I request that you demonstrate a fair degree of understanding and confidence in my office.

Yours Faithfully

Dear (Mrs) Elizabeth Moore!

How nice to hear from you. As I write, I am sitting through a boring meeting in YOUR hall. Who knew you had relatives here?

It’s also nice you’ve written because I could really use the dough.

Of course I’m already imagining what my staff could do with the “vast” sums you mentioned, but I’d like a little clarity on the amount.

Are you talking “vast” as enough to pay for renovations to our 284 Prospect Ave home or “vast” as in an all-the-staff can eat at Jimmy Johns on a production night? Just curious.

Being a part of the West Virginia University, we were also somewhat surprised to learn that we have a separate bank account.

Given all the hand-wringing going on over the University’s financial shortfalls, we are a little worried that there may be attempts by some within the University to “share the wealth,” so to speak.

Therefore, we would request that no communication be made with a man named Narvel Weese (that’s really his name) who might try to represent himself as speaking on our behalf.

With the installation of a new governor here, we are enjoying his decision to introduce an entirely new currency made of coal. “Hey, you got to use it for something,” he said.

With this email I’m enclosing 4,568 lumpy Justice Dollars to get While it was certainly no apocalypse, Trump did fol- the transfer started. I’ll get back to you about the specifics when the low through on campaign sun rises in the west and sets in the east. promises. But it’s important to remember that those same Thanks! promises earned him only 46 Mr. Athenaeum percent of the popular vote.

Hannah Minihan

Kenneth Hite

Ankur Kumar

Involved in the ecology research lab, the SGA and Students for Reproductive Justice, junior Hannah Minihan has a bright future. She’s a biology major with a minor in women and gender studies from Huntington, WV. Her inspirations are Angela Davis, a famous civil rights advocate, scholar and feminist; Charlotte Bunch, a global feminist and scholar who spoke at WVU last semester; and Women on Waves, an organization of doctors and nurses that sail through international waters bringing safe abortion access to women who live in countries with restrictive abortion laws. She found her inspiration during her freshman year when she was able to learn more about social justice issues and see how and why people can have less privilege.

After college she hopes to become a physician and an advocate for women’s healthcare.

Lab materials in the electrical engineering department dated back to the late 1990s until Kenneth hite took it upon himself to modernize the department’s labs. In 2018 this Summit Point, WV native hopes to earn his Ph.D. in engineering education. He’s currently the lab manager for electrical engineering, a teaching facilitator, president of the amateur radio club and the graduate advisor of the solar decathlon. He makes sure to teach with a student-centered approach, helpful for digesting difficult material, and also engages students with challenges that will help prepare for their careers. After recieving his Ph.D. he hopes to become a professor at a university in the western part of the United States.

At the age of 13 he began tinkering with computers: making websites and graphics.

This was when he developed his passion for technology into productive skills. Ankur Kumar is a junior industrial engineering major from Charleston, WV. Within his first year here he was able to acquire several custom software clients. He took this opportunity and ran with it. Now as a junior he’s made seven web apps for multiple businesses and organizations around the state that thousands of people have used. Soon he will release another free app that will impact how we think about advocacy in the 21st century. He also has served in several executive roles with the SGA, as an event planner for the Mountainlair and is a founding member of the student events board.

He hopes to continue to take the techniques he learns in industrial engineering to continue developing his passions into his future.

WVU alumni makes mark in BBQ world

BY EMILY ZEKONIS STAFF WRITER

From a Morgantown backyard grill to a full professional barbecue rig, one WVU alumni is making his mark on the barbecue world.

Luke Darnell was named the 2017 Carolyn Wells Barbecue Ambassador and a 2016 World Barbecue Champion by the Kansas City Barbeque Society.

Darnell is the head member of a 4-year-old competitive barbecue team called Old Virginia Smoke. The three member team includes Darnell, his wifevKim Darnell and friend Leigh Anne Terry.

“Ribs are my specialty,” Darnell said. “Probably because when I started cooking, I was so bad at making them I had to practice constantly.”

Old Virginia Smoke travels the nation to compete in 25 to 30 competitions per year. It ranks in the top 25 teams overall under the Kansas City Barbeque soci-

ety, as well as placing highly, specifically for the ribs and pork.

“The best part about the whole situation is how we have friends all across the nation,” Darnell said. “We call it the ‘barbecue family.’”

In 2015 Darnell traveled to Orange Beach, Ga. for the 2016 World Food Championships after winning the National BBQ Cup in Cumming, Ga. for entry. The team took on the challenge of cooking with a deep south smoker, which they had never used before, against 89 of the country’s best teams and still came out on top.

Barbecue beef tri-tip and the team’s signature smoked lobster and bacon mac and cheese clenched them the $10,000 grand prize check and the title of the 2016 World Barbecue Champion.

“It was completely unexpected, I laugh about the title everyday,” Darnell said. “It’s something you dream of when you start the sport. It’s hilarious, exciting and humbling.”

Upon return home to Bristow, Va., Darnell was hit with more barbecue goods news. He was nominated by his competitive cooking peers in the Kansas City Barbeque Society to be named the Carolyn Wells Barbecue Ambassador for 2017.

The award, named after the society’s founder, is given to someone who promotes the sport in high spirit and exhibits exceptional qualities of sportsmanship.

“I remember how I felt when I first started,” Darnell said. “I always try to make people feel welcome and make sure no one is left out in the cold.”

Darnell’s team will continue to travel and compete. His competitions this year may bring him as far as Las Vegas and California.

After earning his degree in English from WVU, Darnell never saw himself in competitive cooking, but now knows it is what he has to do.

WellWVU Promotes Safe Sex with Condom Caravan

BY ERIN DRUMMOND ASSOCIATE CULTURE EDITOR

Students may hang their heads as they pass the table lined with condoms, but the WellWVU student ambassadors continue to smile and encourage safe sex on campus.

WellWVU hosted a Condom Caravan on Tuesday in the Mountainlair, selling inexpensive condoms to promote safe sex practice. The organization holds multiple events throughout the year to make condoms more affordable for students.

“We used to try to give them out for free but we got some lashback that we were promoting sex,” said Harper Hurwitz, a third year member of WellWVU’s Student Wellness Ambassador Team (S.W.A.T.). “Really, we were just saying if you make the choice to have sex, do it safely. So we now have to sell them but we sell them for as little as possible.”

At the Caravan one condom costs 25 cents, or five for a dollar.

Despite the price change, the Condom Caravan has continued to look for ways to improve the event.

Moose Music Musing: Am I Allowed to Like This?

“It’s definitely grown,” Hurwitz said. “We have more varieties now and we try to cater to everyone so we also have female condoms or dental dam, as well.

It’s just more condoms as well.”

Dental Dam, a condom used for oral sex, can be bought along with Trojan condoms, Lifestyle condoms, condoms for females and many other well-known condom brands.

Throughout the school year, WellWVU focuses on different aspects of WVU student’s wellbeing and encourages them to focus on their health.

“At the beginning of school, we start with ‘drinkWELL.’ We talk about how you can make positive choices while going out and, if you choose to drink, ways to be safe about it,” Hurwitz said.

“Then we move into ‘loveWELL,’ which is all about safe and consensual sex.”

If students missed out on the event, they can look to the future for more to come.

“We mostly do a lot of our stuff during ‘loveWELL’ but during Valentine’s Day week, we usually do some type of loveWell events,” Hurwitz said.

The other day, I was browsing a popular online image board when I stumbled across a thread which caught my interest; “What’s the most authentic way to find music?”

This kind of post is fairly common these days on Internet boards filled with people who understand you more than your real life friends do, but it raises a couple of problems.

Firstly, the writer was essentially asking if it was okay to continue doing something they enjoyed or if that made them some kind of poser, an obviously ridiculous question. Secondly it assumes that there is such a thing as an inauthentic way to discover music you like.

I should hope to anyone reading this article that the answer to both of those questions is obviously a strong NO. It raised a question for me though: why do so many people feel the need to be validated by people they can’t really interact with? Has Internet interest-group connectivity made us unsure of ourselves and our tastes?

It’s quite possible that the age of the Internet has made us more sensitive to these feelings of inferiority, but it’s also important to remember that for the better part of human history our outside forces of judgment have been those directly around us. These past forces of judgment still created the same feelings of ineptitude in

people, but surely there’s been some kind of magnification of this effect in the Internet age.

It may not seem so comical to us now to think that someone searches for validation on their phone instead of from people met on a day-to-day basis, but it really has only been a recognizable phenomenon for the last decade or so. Especially when this praise-anxiety is rooted in something as simple as where you find music on the web.

The idea that one group of people have a stranglehold on “the cool, authentic music” is a bit of a dated one that is rooted in a lot of elitism.

Music is for everyone.

Take, for example, a local genre classification that gets tossed around without much thought: Appalachian music.

People naturally have associations with the aesthetic, but what is Appalachian at its core?

From Appalachia, no? So if I’m from southwestern Pennsylvania and I start a sludge band, this is just as Appalachian as a 90-year-old man with a banjo, right?

Behind all the superficial questions of aesthetics exists the one question that matters to anyone in music, “Do you like it?” With all of the impact music and culture have on our day to day life, it’s easy to forget that all of these things are just entertainment. The aesthetics of liking “the correct music” really seems kind of silly when it comes at the price of listening to music that you don’t like.

PROFESSOR PROFILE | 7

THHEE DA DA

rofessor rofile

President Donald Trump has promised to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and has already made steps to do so. Under the ACA, Medicaid Expansion means health insurance for more than 174,000 West Virginians, and now, the future is unclear for them.

Professor Christopher Plein is an expert in public policy. He spoke with Managing Editor Jennifer Gardner about what the ACA means for West Virginia and what he expects could happen under the Trump administration.

Q. What do you think this would look like in our state?

A. One of the most important things to understand is that the ACA is a very broad law, so there’s many different pieces of it. In WV, we use the ACA to expand Medicaid coverage to lots of low-income adults. Probably between 170,00 to 200,000 people came into the Medicaid program because of the expansion of eligibility. There’s a lot of bipartisan support for preserving Medicaid expansion. From what I’ve gathered, from reading the reports, letters and communications from policy makers, the state doesn’t want to lose ground on the gains that we’ve made in providing health insurance, especially Medicaid. The state wants to have flexibility, which most states do. So I think you’ll see WV take a very practical and pragmatic path in this.

Q. What causes the need for flexibility within a state? Can this complicate lawmaking at the national level?

A. States often say they need flexibility in how they deliver Medicaid services and how they pay for services. The ACA is really complicated, and so two areas where the state has some control is in the operation of its Medicaid program, which you have to remember is an insurance program, not a welfare program. It is helping people who work, people who are elderly, and so West Virginia needs to have flexibility to match the needs of a rural state that has an older population. I think most people at the national level realize that one size doesn’t fit all, but at the same time, you have to have some kind of consistency, so there’s a push-pull relationship. The other thing is that the state probably wants to have some flexibility in how it regulates the private insurance market because all insurance is subject to some regulation.

L. Christopher Plein, Ph. D. Professor Department of Public Administration

Q. What issues do rural areas face in relation to health policy?

A. One, is that there often is a lack of providers.

We can take for granted, if you or I get sick, that we can go to Urgent Care or a clinic, but in rural WV, we might not be able to access that care immediately. The other is that, believe it or not, recreational activities are sometimes not always as prominent and available in rural areas as they are in a more urban area. You have to remember that health is not just about caring for somebody, it’s also about preventing and promoting healthy behaviors. The other thing, too, is just managing a chronic condition that needs regular medical attention. You and I can see a specialist right across town, but if I’m living in rural WV, I may have to drive to Morgantown or Charleston or Winchester, Virginia, Pittsburgh, to see somebody.

Q. How does a program like Medicaid, which gives healthcare to low-income individuals, help the population which is paying the taxes to support it?

A. On so many different levels, and it’s a wonderful question, because I think one of the challenges we have in our society right now is that we tend to see things in a zero-sum way; “your gain is my loss,” and we have to overcome that. One, if we provide health insurance for individuals, that helps everybody just in terms of financing the healthcare system. A lot of it is coming from Medicaid and Medicare, so on one level, all of those dollars help to flow into the healthcare system and to help build infrastructure. Another benefit is that we may be in a good position financially, but we may have family members or friends who are not, so it’s nice that they have health insurance, because practically speaking, it almost sounds a little too logical that if a friend or family member is getting healthcare coverage with Medicare or Medicaid, then that means that I’m protected as a caregiver.

No. 18 WVU thumps No. 2 Jayhawks

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR

MEN’S BASKETBALL Esa Ahmad ended the slump. So did the Mountaineers.

West Virginia—losers of its previous two games—responded with an emphatic 85-69 victory over No. 2 Kansas on Tuesday evening, beating the Jayhawks for the fourth straight time in Morgantown.

It also marked the first time since 2011-12 (Indiana) that someone beat the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams in the same season.

“It was a must win. We knew it was a must win,” Ahmad said. “We went into it and we knew we couldn’t lose. That’s what we talked about all week. It (losing) just

wasn’t in our mind.”

Ahmad, who failed to score in double figures the past four games, returned to what was working for him earlier this season. He was aggressive and making shots, unafraid to attack the Kansas defense from the beginning as he scored the team’s first eight points.

The sophomore would finish with a career-high 27 points on 10-of-17 shooting, stemming from the “aggressiveness” he and the coaching staff would allude to a number of times following the contest.

“I was just aggressive,” Ahmad said. “I knew I had two bad games. I’ve been in a slump. I just wanted to come out and be aggressive. I’ve been getting some extra shots up and it paid off today.”

But it wasn’t Ahmad who

“

It was a must win. We knew it was a must win. We went into it and we knew we couldn’t lose.

- Esa Ahamad, Small Forward

Forward Sagaba Konate throws down a dunk during the second half of WVU’s 85-69 victory over Kansas. delivered all the critical plays down the stretch. They were offensive rebounds—one of

WVU’s staples the past three years—that led to second chance opportunities.

One of those was from Nate Adrian, chasing the ball down as junior guard Jevon Carter missed a three in the corner. Later in the possession, Ahmad would convert a layup to give WVU a 9-point lead with 4:54 remaining, apart of a 12-2 run that would put the game away.

That play from Adrian was created despite harboring a sprained ankle, according to head coach Bob Huggins, putting in the extra effort to hopefully put the game away during the closing minutes.

“That’s what we work on,” said WVU junior forward Elijah Macon. “We get up on teams and there will probably be two or three minutes left and they make the last

run and we just try to work on putting teams away.”

WVU also improved its free throw shooting, made better decisions and didn’t need to come out on top by forcing an array of turnovers.

The Mountaineers made 19of-23 free throws compared to the 6-for-15 mark from Kansas.

And the better decision-making led to just eight turnovers—a steep downgrade from the 23 they committed in Saturday’s loss at Kansas State.

“We had eight turnovers and we passed the ball really well,” Adrian said. “I think we had 22 assists on 29 made baskets. If you do that you’re going to win games.”

WVU’s hustle prevalent in win over Kansas

BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS WRITER

MEN’S BASKETBALL For years, the Big 12 has been Kansas’ birthright. But no matter how hard they try, the Jayhawks just can’t get their hands on one thing: a win in Morgantown.

And one of the constants of WVU’s four-game home win streak has been senior forward Nathan Adrian. Although the Mountaineers always face a tal-

ent deficit against the Jayhawks, the hustle and guts shown by players like Adrian have proved the key difference in the series.

And although Adrian’s box score stats weren’t eye-popping—his usual 11 points and five rebounds—he made some of the deciding plays of the game, including fighting off Kansas’ super-athletic star freshman Josh Jackson to a key late rebound that he called one of the toughest of his career.

“I’m not exactly the most athletic person in the world,

and Josh Jackson was jumping over me so I had to find a way to get the ball first,” Adrian said.

“I just tried to tip it up until I could get it.”

It was the kind of play that helps swing a game. Although Adrian is far from the team’s most talented player, and doesn’t lead the team in any offensive categories, he’s seen as the centerpiece of this year’s Mountaineer squad—and it’s because of moments like that.

Not only was Adrian battling one of the most heralded young

stars in the country, he was also battling his own sprained ankle in a wild chase for the ball.

“Nate’s got a lot of want-to,” said head coach Bob Huggins.

“He actually sprained his ankle on that play and still chased the ball down. He’s been our heart and soul.”

That kind of desire is a requirement if you want to beat a team like Kansas. The Jayhawks recruit at a national level—few teams in the country can match their level of raw talent.

Last year, West Virginia’s

hero was Jaysean Paige, a former junior college player who nearly ended up at Southern Mississippi. The year before, it was Juwan Staten, a Dayton transfer who never garnered looks from powerhouses like Kansas.

And despite the talent gulf, West Virginia has won these games convincingly. Along with Adrian, Mountaineer center Elijah Macon has been in the house for all four wins, and counts Staten’s buzzer-beating game-winner in 2015 as his

personal favorite—but that’s because the last two have been double-digit WVU wins.

Now, the Mountaineers will place their sights on their own elusive prize: a win at Lawrence, Kansas on Feb. 13, a place where West Virginia has never won since moving to the Big 12.

“It feels great to me, and knowing I’ve lost twice there, I feel like it’s our time to go in there and get us one this year,” Macon said. “Go win in Kansas and break that losing streak.”
