NEWS WVU oﬃcials explain “Run. Hide. Fight.” procedure BY JENNIFER GARDNER MANAGING EDITOR

When an Ohio State University student plowed his car into a group of pedestrians on campus and then got out and began stabbing people with a butcher knife Monday, a nearby officer was able to respond to the scene and shoot the attacker in less than a minute. However, the police gunfire sparked conflicting reports and confusion. Students received text alerts warning of an “active shooter” and barricaded themselves inside offices and classrooms. They received an allclear an hour and a half later. The Ohio State University Police Department tweeted “Buckeye Alert: Active Shooter on campus. Run Hide Fight. Watts Hall. 19th and College,” and received thousands of

retweets, but also drew criticism for the sentence “Run Hide Fight.” However, in the event of an active shooter, the phrase is a recommended procedure by the Department of Homeland Security, and it’s the same procedure followed by the WVU Police Department. Under “Emergency Information” on UPD’s website, a page dedicated to “Run. Hide Fight.” includes a six-minute video on how to carry out the procedure and a quick reference guide for active shooter situations. “It’s three words and it’s simple, and whether you’ve been explained the steps or not, it’s pretty clear,” said Lt. Josh Cook, who is over UPD’s emergency planning and management. “Of course, situations like this are advanced dynamics that are sometimes

hard to prepare for, but being informed and trying to do everything you can is the key to this. To me, it looks like that’s what Ohio State did, they were prepared.” It means (1) run and have an escape route and plan in mind, (2) hide in an area out of the shooter’s view, and (3) fight as a last resort and only when your life is in imminent danger. Various colleges around the country, including Georgetown and Indiana University, also use the mantra to prepare for active shooter situations. Cook said UPD has staged scenarios to prepare for emergency events, including active shooters, at various locations across campus. Though not required by law, Cook said each building on campus has a specific plan for emergencies, including the

hazards of each building and the layout. “We try to think of everything that could possibly go wrong,” Cook said. Since 2013, there have been at least 205 school shootings in America, averaging nearly one a week, according to everytownresearch.org. The website reports there have been 17 shootings on college and university campuses so far in 2016. “I think there’s been a gradual buildup. Schools used to seem like a safe places,” said Lawrence Nichols, a WVU sociology professor. “I’ve been in the university system for years now, and I never thought we would get to where we are today with guns on campus and shootings on campus.” Nichols called college campuses “soft targets,” meaning they’re vulnerable to attacks because there are not walls

should be vigilant,”Cook said. “When a tragic event like this happens, they need to reflect on what they would do in that situation.”

University oﬀers tutoring options for students preparing for ﬁnals BY ALANNA LONGNECKER STAFF WRITER

WVU offers more than a dozen year-round tutoring options for students, and as they prepare for upcoming finals, they’re invited to take advantage of the majority of these resources for free. WVU’s Retention website lists a selection of resources that can be used for tutoring, such as Student Success Programs and Academic Resource Center. “(Tutoring) is a really great

opportunity because occasionally some students need a little bit more individual attention,” said Barbara Mullinix, Program Coordinator of the Office of Student Success. ARC tutoring services can be taken advantage of without an appointment and are free of charge. These services are the “largest tutoring operation on campus,” Mullinix said. ARCs can be found on the Evansdale and Downtown campus libraries, Brooke Tower in the Evansdale Residential Complex and in the Mountainlair during WVUp All Night.

Next semester, the ARCs will offer appointments as well as operating on a drop-in basis. Another tutoring option is the Eberly Writing Studio. The writing studio can be used “for help with becoming a better writer or speaker,” Mullinix said. “The right option will vary from student to student,” Mullinix said. “The best advice I can give is to keep trying. If you find one option isn’t working for you, choose another.” Though Mullinix explained tutoring is not a replacement for actually attending class, it is still important to prepare for the

tutoring sessions and to seek help when it is needed. Another tutoring option is WVU’s MindFit Academic Enhancement program. MindFit is a comprehensive multidisciplinary program for the diagnosis, treatment, and support for WVU students struggling with ADHD and other learning-related disabilities. While MindFit is not a free tutoring service, it utilizes academic enhancement and coaching to “not just focus on (a test’s) content, but on how to be a better, more successful stu-

dent,” said Jennifer Mandeville, program coordinator of WVU’s MindFit Academic Enhancement program. “Not all students are a good fit for drop-in tutoring,” Mandeville said. “There’s a special relationship that forms between one-on-one. It allows for more trust and more risk-taking and thus more improvement.” The packages for academic enhancement sessions range from $700 to $1900, and which include one-on-one ongoing tutoring and academic coaching. Mandeville said it should

never be intimidating or embarrassing to ask for help. “Just remember everyone gets coaching and help,” Mandeville said. “From Olympians down to college students, anyone gets help. It is not a sign of weakness. It just means you know your strengths and weaknesses.” WVU also offers testWell Learning Centers and discipline-specific tutoring. The schedule for the ARCs and other information about tutoring help can be found at http://retention.wvu.edu/ tutoring.

OPINION

President-Elect Donald Trump vs. the First Amendment BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

President-Elect Donald Trump’s Twitter account was a source of constant amusement, outrage and horror over the course of the election. It seems that’s not stopping anytime soon. On Tuesday, Trump tweeted “Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag—if they do, there must be consequences— perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!” What many will take as a naïve but fervent display of patriotism in reality is something much more frightening. This is open support from the future President of the United States for denaturalization (the taking

away of citizenship) as a punishment in response to citizens practicing the First Amendment. Yes, the First Amendment. It doesn’t take much to see the parallels between jailing someone for burning a cloth symbol in protest, and jailing someone for expressing similar political dissent in words instead. Let alone taking away their citizenship in what likely would lead to deportation. Not only does flag burning fall under the inalienable rights we are all granted by the Constitution, this is something that was further reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in 1989 in Texas v. Johnson. The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of Gregory Lee Johnson who was arrested after burning a flag

in protest of Ronald Reagan at the Republican National Convention. Regardless of whether Trump would rather see his enemies sent away from the country or behind bars for voicing it, the First Amendment is in place precisely to prevent people from infringing on it and accomplishing this. It is what makes America “great” in the first place. It is important that we don’t excuse the shocking or the controversial as personality any longer. The man is no longer a candidate, he will soon be what many consider to be the leader of the free world. It’s not “tough” or “proud” anymore, it’s advocacy for infringement and tyranny, whether misguidedly patriotic or not.

No notoriety–why media needs to keep mass murderers identities out of it BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

The three most deadly mass shootings in our country have all occurred within the last 10 years. Over the last few decades the frequency and severity of mass killings in the United States have risen greatly, according to the FBI. There’s something we can all do about it: Keep the attackers identities out of it unless the information is used to help apprehend the suspect. For years it has been the

media norm to display the killer’s face and name when reporting on the terrible acts they carry out. Even worse, news organizations often explore and question the motive of the killer, sometimes for days after the tragedies. In effect, this is taking the attention away from the victims and their families, and instead pushing it to the killers themselves. Is figuring out the motive of the killer important? Yes, to a degree understanding the motive of a killer may allow

for avoiding similar instances in the future. But, is this the responsibility of broadcast news? I don’t believe so. And to broadcast this research is a gross misguided step into potentially continuing an extremely vicious cycle. This is information some viewers want, but is it what they should receive? What would keeping the shooter’s identity out look like? When speaking about the Pulse Nightclub shootings in Orlando earlier this year, FBI Director James Comey dis-

played exactly how to handle this idea properly. “You will notice that I am not using the killer’s name and I will try not to do that,” Comey stated. “Part of what motivates sick people to do this kind of thing is some twisted notion of fame or glory and I don’t want to be part of that for the sake of the victims and their families, and so that other twisted minds don’t think that this is a path to fame and recognition.” It may seem like a just response to let the world

know who committed such evil acts, but in effect this becomes a form of praise for many perpetrators. And, worse for some, an inspiration. According to a 2015 research article from Arizona State University titled “Contagion in Mass Killings and School Shootings” there is “…significant evidence that mass killings involving firearms are incented by similar events in the immediate past.” To break this cycle, all we have to do is tell the real

story and ignore the irrelevant morbid curiosities our media currently sate by looking into the “why?” In reality, broadcasting the “why?” is precisely the point for many mass murderers. When the news of an event focuses on the victims, the families and their stories, it shows the loss and tragedy of these events. And this is the real story to tell, a story that doesn’t build up the killer or any irrelevant motivations, one that shows the world what was lost and what should not be forgotten.

CULTURE U92 on the Review: Sun Ra’s “Singles” In the cosmic world of Sun Ra and his Arkestra there are no coincidences. The entire course of my college career, from starting at U92 to working at The DA and taking up the Culture Editor position was leading me to pull up Spotify at my desk yesterday (the second day of the Arkestra’s second residency at the excellent experimental jazz venue Cafe Oto in London, by the way). Looking for something new to write about, I saw that Strut Records has compiled “Singles: The Definitive 45s Collection, Vol. 1: 1952-1961,” a 65-song box set spanning some of Sun Ra’s best work with everybody from the

all the many forms of Sun Ra. The first disk of the compilation stays in the more familiar territory of his early work: big-band swing tunes, the cool bebop of tracks like “Supersonic Jazz” and “Saturn,” and doo-wop in the form of “Daddy’s Gonna Tell You No Lie.” Just in time for the holidays we hear his work with Chicago vocal quartet the Qualities tucked squarely in the middle: “It’s Christmas Time” and “Happy New Year to You!” A healthy dose of blues makes up most of the second disk, but we begin to partake in some more unusual delights.

Nu-Sounds, Yochanan and the Cosmic Rays to Hattye Randolph, Billie Hawkins and Pat Patrick. Riding the cutting edge of jazz from the ‘40’s onward, Sun Ra helped pioneer everything from modal composition and free improvisation to the use of electric basses and keyboards. After an out-of-body experience in college that brought him in contact with alien beings on the surface of Saturn (one of the earliest American reports of extra-terrestrials) he developed a personal mythology and spirituality that would guide his work from then on. Members of the Arkestra and his other ensembles were encouraged to take up new names, bend their musical techniques

the spacey bandleader preaches his cosmic mythology, punctuated by brass freakouts and cymbal crashes. Slow creepers “Cosmo-Extensions” and “I am the Instrument” play with noise and extended guitar techniques while we also find such great vocal-based performances as “Rocket #9” and the perennial favorite, “Nuclear War.” “Singles” is available from Strut Records as a 12” triple LP, three-CD album or digital.

PROFESSOR PROFILE | 7

rofessor rofile

Most dental hygiene programs are only two years. However, Amy Funk says WVU’s program holds students to a much higher level than most. The program is the only one in the country that is a four-year integrated program, meaning students start in the program as freshmen and finish as seniors. She spoke to Managing Editor Jennifer Gardner about the high expectations she has for her students and her commitment to ensuring they learn everything that could possibly help them land a successful career. Q. If you could finish a degree like this in two years, why do you have a four-year program? A. In our program, we have always set really high standards for our graduates, which are often over and above what is necessary to get a degree in a two-year program. Students complete a two-year research project, they see over 300 patients, they go on a rural health rotation, they complete over 125 hours of community service. You can earn a dental hygiene degree in two years, but here you’re going to get to experience a wide variety of patients and practice settings that other students do not get to experience. When dental hygiene students graduate, they are able to become licensed and get certificates for everything that is allowed in our state and the majority of other states. Q. What kind of values do you think students gain from working on a rural health rotation? A. I would hope that it changes their outlook on diversity, because most people, in my opinion, think of diversity in different ways based on where they grew up and their personal beliefs. It is good to go to an unfamiliar, and potentially uncomfortable, area and learn how to interact with patients and appreciate everything the area and people have to offer. I don’t think anyone has ever come back and said the experience wasn’t worthwhile. It is a win–win situation; students get to see a different patient group than what they normally see at WVU, all while increasing their clinical skills and providing direct patient care that is either uncompensated or at a reduced fee. Q. What kinds of oral hygiene problems do you see in WV that you might not see in other states? A. There’s an extreme access to care problem because you may only have one dentist in a huge county. People who live there do not necessarily have transportation to actually get to

Amy Funk Director of Dental Hygiene the office. There is also a cultural viewpoint on dental care and whether or not it is important and necessary. When money is tight, dental care is usually the first thing that is cut. People are going to choose going to the doctor over the dentist. There’s a general lack of education and importance placed on oral health and changing an entire value system is very difficult to do. Q. When someone doesn’t have adequate access to dental care, what problems might they run into? A. The loss of teeth and the loss of function greatly affects their ability to eat and their self-esteem. Basic nutritional needs cannot be met when someone is unable to eat properly, either due from tooth loss or pain. Additionally, there is a substantial link between oral health and overall health in relationship to many diseases. It’s more difficult to gain employment because we are a visual culture, and you’re not going to hire someone to work at a front desk who doesn’t have their front teeth. Many people who are employed may not have dental insurance, and if they do, they may work in jobs where they simply cannot afford to take off. If you are working in a low-income job where you can’t take any sick days, you’re not going to take off to come to a dental appointment. Q. Is it difficult for dentists and hygienists to work in rural areas? A. It’s hard to get people to go to areas where they may have a limited number of patients, which are on a limited income, and it is an area that is difficult to access. You have to really love the place. Our students are lucky to be able to practice and live in rural areas, which allows them to experience what makes the people and place special. We have a student graduating this year and she’s going back home to practice in a very rural area. We usually have at least one graduate who chooses to practice in the area where they completed their rural health rotation. Every student who completes the rotation experiences something positive, and that is the best outcome of all.

SPORTS “Season of firsts” culminates in College Cup appearance BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER

WOMEN’S SOCCER Back in August when WVU played to a pair of draws in exhibition matches, there were few who foresaw where the WVU women’s soccer team finds themselves now. It’s been a “season of firsts” for the Mountaineers. The team achieved the No. 1 ranking for the first time in program history this season, it earned its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and it qualified for the first College Cup in school history. “There are so many things to celebrate this season,” said WVU head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “There’s only one team that can do it (win the national championship) per year out of 365. But I’ve said it from day one, until we’re number one at the end of the year, I don’t even think about the numbers.” In advancing to the College Cup, the Mountaineers are one of just four teams left standing in women’s soccer, the others being North Carolina, Georgetown and USC. WVU will face North Carolina in the first semifinal, and Georgetown and USC will face off in the second semifinal, with the winners of each meeting in the national championship match.

We’re just going to take the next game one at a time. That’s how we’ve approached it from day one.” The Mo u n t a i n e e r s started the season on a tear, drawing defending national champion Penn State before going on to win seven straight

matches, including wins over nationally ranked Clemson, Ohio State and Duke. “We knew that was our overall goal to get to Final Four,” said senior midfielder Ashley Lawrence. “You could see there was

a glimpse of that possibility within preseason and early games. Those are some top teams and that was just the beginning and we were in the rebuilding phase. I think again it just speaks volumes of our talent, but by this point now

we’re able to come together with hard work and just mesh, and it’s shown with our results.” But Georgetown came into Morgantown and gave the Mountaineers their first and, so far, only loss of the season.

WVU responded to the loss with a 14-match winning streak that included shutting out the entire Big 12 Conference during the regular season. Then WVU needed a two-goal comeback to defeat TCU in the Big 12 Tournament final. Finally in the NCAA Tournament, after cruising past Northern Kentucky in the first round, the Mountaineers persevered through three straight nailbiters; a 1-0 double-overtime win over Ohio State, penalty kicks against UCLA and a 1-0 win over Duke, before reaching the College Cup. It’s been a rollercoaster ride of a season, and right now Izzo-Brown doesn’t want the ride to stop. “I guess it’s surreal,” Izzo-Brown said. “I don’t really like throwing clichés around. But, my whole thing is that I just don’t want this to stop. In that game against UCLA, I told Keisha (Kadeisha Buchanan) that the only thing I was thinking about was what we were going to do in training the next day. After we won, she turns to me and says ‘So what are we doing in training?’ And I said, ‘I have no idea!’ It gives me a chance to spend more time with this special team. It’s another first, and it’s another opportunity to coach this team that I’m so proud of.”

Adrian gains experience, becomes vital aspect for WVU BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER

MEN’S BASKETBALL Last season in an episode of “Wearing the Jersey,” Nathan Adrian took the challenge to read tweets from fans that mainly poked fun at the Morgantown native. “Nathan Adrian is the primary cause of stress in my life,” said Adrian, re-reading a tweet. While Adrian laughed off the comment, he continues to have the last laugh a season later. Adrian has developed into one of the guys WVU head coach Bob Huggins will rely on.

Adrian’s numbers all-around have seen improvements six games into the year. “I like what he’s doing,” Huggins said. “He wants to win, he wants to do things right.” In 2015, Adrian averaged 4.5 points per game. However, he was still one of the most efficient scorers on the Mountaineers. The spark

Now Adrian has become the leader that the 2016 Mountaineers would need. “I feel really good on the floor right now,” Adrian said. “I just grew up a little bit over the years. Hopefully it will translate throughout the season.”
