Baker pleads guilty to disorderly conduct two weeks before resignation BY CAITY COYNE EDITORINCHIEF
Two weeks before his resignation in November, former Director of Greek Life Roy Baker pled guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct in McKeesport, Penn., according to court documents. McKeesport police arrested Baker, 63, on Sept. 4, 2016 on charges of disorderly conduct and an offense related to prostitution, however the latter charge was withdrawn during his court hearing on Oct. 24. He was fined $454.50 for his count of disorderly conduct, according to the documents from the Allegheny County Magisterial Court. McKeesport Police De-
partment officials did not return phone calls from The Daily Athenaeum by time of publication. On Nov. 7, two weeks after the hearing, Vice President of Student Life Corey Farris announced Baker’s resignation from the University, but did not give a reason. “I guess I don’t want to say because I don’t know if that’s appropriate,” Farris told the Charleston Gazette-Mail at the time. “I’m not trying to hide anything, but those are things we’re always careful (about).” The court documents, which are available online, were shared with The DA and Greek life leaders in an anonymous email Wednesday night. “We cannot discuss it because it is a confidential
personnel issue,” said April Kaull, director of news for WVU University Relations. Farris also said he was unable to discuss the issue because it is “not appropriate as they are confidential personnel issues.” In mid-September, Baker was noticeably absent from the University and Greek events said Elana Zambori, president of the WVU Panhellenic Council. She said the Office of Greek Life told student leaders it was “due to health issues,” but after a few weeks, no further information was provided to students. “I’m just very upset with the Office of Greek Life and how they handled the situation,” Zambori said. “Since (Baker) has been MIA for months it put a lot of pressure on me as a stu-
dent leader. “Greek life this year has gone through so much, and we really are trying our best and we just keep getting handed very unideal situations,” Zambori said. “I feel like obviously there needs to be more thorough vetting done on officials. I just don’t understand why we’re all just now finding out about this if it happened months ago.” A number of Baker’s initiatives this semester failed to take hold, according to Zambori, since he was not there to enforce them. For example, a new chapter accreditation system “completely fell apart,” she said. Baker’s biggest initiative from his time at WVU, deferred formal recruitment for social fraternities and sororities, is set to take
place in January. “This new information shouldn’t detract from the positive changes we’ve made in Greek life over the past year,” said Nick Steenson, Interfraternity Council president. In October, following the accidental death of WVU student Sean Guthrie, Baker told the Gazette-Mail he wasn’t as concerned with enforcing new rules on campus as he was with holding students accountable when they make bad choices, and teaching them how to make better ones. Zambori called Baker’s actions, in light of what he tried to accomplish on campus, hypocritical. “How can you commit such a crime like that and then yell at someone because they didn’t get a
good grade on their test or something like that,” she said. “It’s very hypocritical, and it’s poor character.” Baker came from Penn State University, where he was director of Fraternity and Sorority Life for eight years, and prior to that he was director of Greek life at Syracuse University. Baker was hired as director of Greek life and associate dean of Student Life at WVU on Oct. 6, 2015 with much fanfare. “Dr. Baker has a track record of success that he will be bringing to WVU, including setting high standards and holding organizations accountable,” Farris said at the time. “And his ability to build relationships with students and alumni is truly outstanding.”

Conservative speaker lectures on Trump BY KAYLA ASBURY CITY EDITOR
Protests erupted outside of White Hall during Milo Yiannopoulos’ speech, “What Trump Means,” part of his “Dangerous Fa**ot” tour on Thursday night. This was Yiannopoulos’ first speech since President-Elect Donald Trump’s win in the 2016 presidential election. Several masked protesters were heard chanting “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA,” the same chant Trump protesters used during an anti-Trump march Nov. 9 in Morgantown. The University did not endorse the event, but said, “as an institution that encourages the exchange of ideas, as well as supports a student’s quest to participate in that exchange, the University encourages dissenters and supporters alike to listen to and discuss topics in a civil and respectful manner befitting of Mountaineers,” in a statement from WVUToday. During his speech, Yiannopoulos targeted WVU sociology professor Daniel Brewster, criticizing his appearance, calling him a “c*nt” and a “f*cking idiot.” “I hear he’s fond of bullying conservative students,” Yiannopoulos said. Yiannopoulos’ slideshow featured a picture of Brewster with the words “fat fa**ot” in large print. He then criticized Brewster for hosting an event for students to attend (a movie screening in honor of World AIDS Day) instead of Yiannopoulos’ lecture. “He’s quite notorious,” Yiannopoulos said. “It wasn’t diffi-

cult to find people throwing his name and saying look into this guy.” Yiannopoulos also criticized the Kelloggs brand for withdrawing its advertisements from Breitbart, and ultra-right commentary website where Yiannopoulos serves as technology editor. He dumped a box of Frosted Flakes on the carpet. The event was hosted by WVU College Republicans. “I can’t speak for the entire club. I agree with a lot of what Milo says,” said Dakota Workman, chairman of the College Republicans. “I know a lot of people in our club agree with a good bit of what Milo says.” Workman said speakers like Yiannopoulos had the right to come to WVU. “I think we need to encourage people who don’t fit the mindset of college,” Workman said. “You don’t come here to live in your own little bubble and just hear ideas that fit your own mentality. You have to hear ideas of people you don’t agree with.” Yiannopoulos said the reason for his college tour was because college campuses are what a lot of Americans think “is how the country’s gone wrong.” Yiannopoulos said his events were an opportunity for students to speak fully and freely. “The social justice, the progressivism, the feminism, the
black lives matter, the speech codes, the language policing, the name calling—this stuff starts on campuses, so it’s important to fight it on campuses,” Yiannopoulos said.

WVU law student works to increase diversity in profession BY SAMANTHA HUFFMAN STAFF WRITER
Candice Isaac, a law student at the WVU College of Law, an immigrant and a daughter to a single immigrant mother, is trying to increase the number of minorities working in the legal profession. In her role as national director of alumni affairs and development with the National Black Law Students Association, one of the ideas Isaac came up with was an Educational Task Force. According to the American Bar Association, law is the least diverse profession in the United States. The bar has released statistics showing that minorities account for only 14 percent of work-

ing legal professionals in the nation. The legal profession embodies many different occupations, not just attorneys. It’s also stocked with lawmakers, CEOs, government officials, presidents, governors, nonprofit and legal or-
ganizations—just to name a few. “The fight to increase diversity in the legal profession is everybody’s issue,” Isaac said. “It is something that we all need to actively take on so that the legal profession can be representa-
tive of society.” The task force will serve as a one-stop shop for all things pertaining to education and provide tips that can help support NBLSA’s mission, as well as students, that need encouragement as they pursue the rigorous process.
“This idea came to me at the school I transferred from when none of the minority students in my first-year class made it on the Dean’s List,” she said. “I wanted to know why this happened, what we were missing, and was this happening at law schools across the nation.” Isaac added, “(Diversity) also serves as a reminder to the youth coming up that they can pursue their dreams and be successful.” Alaina, a second-year law student at WVU who preferred not to share her name, said the lack of diversity on campus was very noticeable. “The majority of my classmates are white males,” she said. “For many (minorities) that can be a huge source of intimidation and that has
the potential to create unnecessary obstacles.” Isaac highlighted the importance of diversity and inclusion in the legal profession. “They really need to go hand-in-hand. There is so much value in having a diverse group of people around the table,” Isaac said. “They will bring a different set of ideas, thoughts and values that could change organizations for the better.” Isaac’s greatest source of motivation and her biggest cheerleader is her mother. She admitted she hasn’t really had any mentors or advisors since coming to WVU, but encourages anyone wanting to help or take her under their wing to reach out to her.
WVU sees increase of sexual assaults on campus BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD ASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR
The number of sexual assault on WVU’s campus has increased each year since 2012. From January to September 2016, nine sexual assault cases have been filed, according to WVU Police Department. “There can be a number of reasons for the increase. One of which I believe is increased public awareness and improved support services such as educational programs and community outreach,” said William Chedester, Interim Chief of WVUPD. “This has made the community more
vigilant of this issue. With increased awareness and services, people seem to be more apt to come forward for help and report incidents.” Thirty-eight sexual assault cases have been reported on WVU’s campus in the past five years. As sexual assault reports increase, Title IX continuously modifies policies to reflect a developing society. “We are reworking our prevention efforts to address the real issues of what we’re seeing from these cases,” said Marianna Matthews the Title IX Education Specialist and WVU Peer Advocate Coordinator. “Title IX is giving
students the power that if something has happened, they feel safe to come forth and get the help they need.” Stigma of sexual assault on university campuses are often pushed aside or hidden. Matthews said she wants to ensure students and employees are aware of how programs such as Title IX can reinforce their rights. “We are trying to develop a culture change. If you’re a Mountaineer, then you’re part of this family. It’s on us to make sure we’re stopping sexual assault,” Matthews said. “If assault has happened to someone, then it is our responsibility to help them know what
their recourses are.” In continuing prevention efforts, the University signed a national ‘It’s On Us’ campaign in 2015. Under the campaign, the UPD coordinates with the WVU Peer Advocate program. “The Title IX Office and the Peer Advocate program create an avenue for people who are passionate about these issues to become involved on campus and around the nation,” said Erin Heeter, a peer advocate. “I have seen myself change and grow through this program and am considering going to law school to further my advocacy of sexual assault prevention.” Heeter became involved
with the Title IX Office through her SGA Senator platform. Seeing the effects assault has on individuals, Heeter wanted to become an advocate for a culture change regarding the stigma of sexual assault on campus. The students who serve as peer advocates work to end sexual assault and violence on campus through prevention awareness events. The Title IX training is offered to students, faculty and staff at WVU. Peer Advocate students go to local schools the discuss how Title IX education is formed, so public schools can develop their own Title IX for the student’s educa-
tion level. “For us to be giving effective (prevention), we have to start before students get to a college campus,” Matthews said. “A lot of WVU students come from Morgantown schools, so working with the schools’ administration to provide resources on how to teach prevention (and) giving back to the community around the University as well.” Victims of sexual assault can call Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center hotline at (304)292-5100 to connect with a Peer Advocate or file a report at http://titleix.wvu.edu.

A case for how Trump won: his personality BY ALEX WEIDMAN CORRESPONDENT
Somehow Donald Trump was able to mobilize the forgotten, the failing, the distressed, the left behind and the angry to win the Presidential election. His supporters have genuine concerns. With unusually high mortality rates, lower life expectancy, high suicide rates, joblessness and rampant opioid use one can understand why. To figure out how Trump managed to win, it’ll help to take a step back and look at American elections in general. Since 1940, only two presidential candidates have received more than 60 percent of the popular vote. Johnson won 61.1 percent of the pop-
ular vote in ’64 and Nixon won 60.2 percent of the popular vote in ’72. In all other elections, the popular vote was more evenly split. Is the population really divided as evenly as election results portray? Is this why candidates as unexpected as Trump have a chance to win? Writing for the science magazine “Nautilus,” Oliver Roeder recently attempted to answer this question. One explanation was the median voter theorem. The median voter theorem says political candidates are like two ice cream vendors on a boardwalk by the beach. The ice cream vendors can stand anywhere on the boardwalk they want, to the far left or the far right. But the vendor who is closest
to the center will do the best business, naturally being closer to the most customers. Therefore the vendors, like political candidates, squeeze themselves as close to each other as they can at the center of the beach. This roughly explains why candidates choose to generally stay in the center of politics and why elections are so close. There simply isn’t much room to move left or right and still capture enough votes to win. Roeder claims this is why “we often find liberal Republicans in the generally liberal Northeast, and conservative Democrats in the generally conservative South.” Of course, this generalization leaves out important factors in a presidential race
beyond just policy stances. One of the more important factors is what Roeder calls valence, which “refers broadly to the dimension of personality, including things like competence, trustworthiness, likableness, and, much-discussed in 2016, temperament.” One way to think about the importance of valence is to go back to the ice cream vendor scenario. If one ice cream vendor can attract customers who are loyal with a likable personality, he or she can move further away from the center and still count on those customers. Even if those customers are closer to the other vendor, they’ll be willing to walk to the vendor they like better. These two factors can ex-
plain how Trump won. Many people who thought Trump had no chance blamed it on his extreme positions. No candidate could win while advocating for a ban on Muslim immigrants, or while claiming they will deport 11 million people, or that after doing that they’ll also build a wall the impossible length of the southern border to make sure those people are kept out. To push his ideology to even further extremes he argued that Roe v. Wade should be reversed and that climate change is a hoax. Using a bit of understatement, Roeder put Trump’s actions this way: “Trump is not acting like a rational ice cream seller. He has not appeared to move his policy portfolio toward the center.”
So if Trump’s ideology is arguably well away from the center how could he make up for the loss in voters to win? One would hope the comments made and stances taken would stop most voters. This leads to one of the scarier revelations of Trump’s win. He made up for his extreme positions with personality. Trump won voters over with his likability. Voters simply were not dismayed by his sexist, racist, xenophobic or authoritarian rhetoric or actions. Instead, many argued that they enjoyed that he didn’t conform to political correctness. To put it simply, 62 million votes don’t suggest a candidate Americans weren’t comfortable with.

University High student takes to the skies BY JACKSON MONTGOMERY CULTURE EDITOR
Living in the Mountain State, it seems we can almost touch the clouds some days. One future Mountaineer uses the weekends to see just how close he can get. Ross Turner, a 17-yearold junior at University High School, has been busy filming the local scenery with his quadcopter drone, a DJI Phantom 4. “I like to watch Youtube a lot,” Turner said. “I subscribe to like 100 people and I watch daily vlogs. I see
all these people flying their drones around awesome places and I thought why not get one.” Turner has been piloting the drone for three months now, capturing at least 30 videos and uploading the best ones to Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, where he previously had more than 5,000 subscribers before a copyright issue caused him to lose access to the account. The DJI Phantom 4 shoots in 4K HD, and has enough battery life that Turner can capture footage for about half an hour before the drone automatically returns
to him and lands. The controller’s built-in GPS allows for this important safety feature, but according to Turner it also works well for exciting techniques such as following behind a car while the pilot rides shotgun and works the camera. A phone-mount on the controller gives the pilot access to DJI GO, an app that shows the camera feed in real-time and provides controls for recording, flight logs, tutorials and a database of no-fly zones to keep operators out of trouble with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
“Part of the FAA (guidelines), you have to buy a license, only $15... If you want your second license, to get paid to do things, it’s more. That’s what I want to do,” Turner said. Drone pilots work for nature publications, music festivals, anything where aerial footage is a must, and Turner hopes to find a home in the industry one day. In the meantime he plans on shooting footage in Italy this summer, finishing his senior year of high school and beginning an engineering degree at WVU for the fall semester of 2018.

Creative Arts Center hosts annual pottery sale BY ALANNA LONGNECKER STAFF WRITER
If you’re panicking about what to get your friends and family for Christmas, there is one option that will support your local Morgantown and WVU community. This Friday, the Creative Arts Center will hold a pottery sale from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The sale will continue Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. “It’s a two-day sale of pottery pieces made by the students in the production class,” said Kelly O’Briant, instructor of the pottery class. “There is also work for sale made by individual students.”
The sale has been taking place for “many, many years,” O’Briant said. The profits made from the sale go toward supporting both ceramics students and the program as a whole to allow for better quality art supplies and trips, as O’Briant said. But profits are not the only reason the sale has been held for so long. “All of the ceramics students gain greatly from the experience and opportunities that it provides,” said Shoji Satake, coordinator of ceramics. O’Briant agreed with Satake’s idea of students gaining experience from the pottery sale. “The sale is a great way

Ceramic student Josh Singleton puts the finishing touches to his piece for the upcoming pottery sale. for students to get feedback from people who use these wares on a regular basis,” O’Briant said, referring to the buyers who
regularly use the pottery students create for the sale. And the buyers are largely responsible for the success of the sale.
“All of the greater WVU, Morgantown and West Virginia community who help support and purchase the student works,” Satake said. “The program could not be successful if it weren’t for the support of this great community we call home.” Joshua Singleton, ceramics student at WVU, incorporates cultural influence into his work that will be displayed at the pottery sale. Singleton typically creates “utilitarian ceramic work,” which includes silverware and table settings, he said. “Growing up as a Korean American, my work is inspired by my upbringing,” Singleton said. “My expe-
rience is reflected in my ceramics, a mix of Korean and American aspects.” Singleton explained what usually goes into his art. “I develop an idea or theme for a series of pieces,” Singleton said. “I create sketches for possible designs as well as technical aspects of each piece like weight and silhouette. Then I work from those sketches until I create the pieces to my likings and specifications. In my design process, form definitely follows function.” Tables will be set up in the lobby of the CAC with refreshments to enjoy while shopping.

FASHION FRIDAY
Holiday Gifts, Fashion Finds by Alainia Conrad,Fashion Columnist For the fashionable friend or family member on your holiday shopping list this year, look for seasonal gift mainstays updated with trendy twists. Socks are kind of the classic lame Christmas present, right up there with coal and gas station gift cards. “Wow, thanks for the socks Aunt Carol, I needed these.” But this year, Aunt Carol’s disappointing white crew socks are lost in a sea of patterned, lace, mesh, fishnet and glitter options. The season’s decorative socks add the perfect touch of holiday flair to any look and can keep even open-toed shoes going all winter long. Forever 21 has some of the least expensive sock options out there, with ankle and crew socks usually priced less than $5, and most of their taller styles hovering around $8 or less. Another holiday classic, for better or for worse, is the pajama set. And much like socks, pajamas are getting a stylish upgrade and straying away from the flannel polar bear pants your mom buys for you. Instead of Arctic animals, fashionable pajama sets in silk and lace are patterned with beautiful florals, rich colors and classic stripes. Some favorites are Aerie’s yellow Silky Sleep Tank ($18) and matching boxers ($15), Topshop’s emerald and black Lace Trim Pyjama Set ($60)
Winter in West Virginia
By the time WVU students return from the holiday break, the winter weather will be in full force, and while walking to class in the breezy chill may seem more daunting than ever, there’s still plenty to enjoy about being in West Virginia this time of year. Here are some winter activities to check out around the state:
BY ERIN DRUMMOND ASSOCIATE CULTURE EDITOR
1. Though it’s in Maryland, the closest ski resort to Morgantown is Wisp, and its low prices
make it pretty popular with students. Students can rent skis and snow gear from the Rec Center. Other ski resorts include Whitegrass, Seven Springs, Canaan Valley and Timberline Four Seasons. All are within a few hours of Morgantown.
2. If you’re looking for a glorious holiday lights display, the Winter Festival of Lights at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling is open now until Jan. 1, and only about an hour and a half drive away. The display includes more than one million lights and covers more than 300 acres.
3. For those who want to stay in town, the Morgantown Ice Arena holds public sessions
throughout the weekends. The cost is $8 including skates and public sessions are Friday 7-9 p.m., Saturday 1:30-3:30 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. and Sunday 1:30-4 p.m.
4. For more on the ice, the Wheeling Nailers’ hockey team holds games at the WesBanco Arena in Wheeling throughout the season. The ECHL hockey organization is an associated team with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

No. 1 WVU set for College Cup Opener against UNC BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER
WOMEN’S SOCCER For the first time in program history, the No. 1 West Virginia (22-1-2, 8-0) women’s soccer team is two wins away from a national championship. The team traveled to San Jose, CA earlier this week for West Virginia’s first College Cup appearance after a 1-0 win over No. 5 Duke last weekend in the elite eight. The team will face another top-ranked opponent from the Tar Heel State on Friday night in No. 7 North Carolina. UNC (173-4, 6-2-2 ACC) has won 22 national championships, but has not been to the College Cup since winning it all in 2012. The defending national champions
would defeat WVU 4-2 in 2013 as the two’s only meeting to this point. North Carolina advanced to the College Cup with an upset of No. 4 South Carolina in Columbia last weekend. “There are so many things to celebrate this season, but I’ve said this since day one, until we’re number one at the end of the year do I even reflect on the numbers,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “We have a tough opponent in front of us, and all I’m worried about right now is making sure we bring our best for North Carolina.” The matchup will pit two of the nation’s top defenses in the nation against each other. West Virginia enters the game on a 16-match unbeaten streak while posting a shutout in six of its last nine tournament
THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
Carla Portillo, prepares to take a free kick against after being fouled against OSU on Nov.18, 2016. WVU won in double overtime with a final score of 1-0. matches dating back to 2015. West Virginia’s defense, which ranks No. 2 in the nation, boasts a 0.349 goals against average, while the Tar Heel defense ranks No. 12 with a 0.58 GAA. Led by 2016 ESPN National Player of
the Year Kadeisha Buchanan, West Virginia has posted a shutout in a program-record 17 games this season. Neither team has an overpowering offense, which should add to the defensive struggle.
West Virginia ranks No. 30 with two goals per game. North Carolina’s attack doesn’t crack the top 50. The match could very easily come down to who can score find a lone goal. Three of West Virginia’s four tournament wins this year have been decided by a single goal. North Carolina’s two recent wins over Clemson and South Carolina were both by a 1-0 victory. “We’ve stayed in such a great routine and made sure we’re just worrying about what we’re doing and that the girls are staying focused on what we need to do,” Izzo-Brown said. “We have takeaways after every game and improvements that we want to do. I think that’s worked. I’m not really worried about anything but how I’ve approached this team in every game thus far.” The winner of the first game
on Friday will face the winner of No. 2 Georgetown (20-2-3, 5-1-2 Big East) and No. 3 USC (17-4-2, 8-2-1 Pac 12) in the national championship Sunday afternoon. All three games will be televised nationally on ESPNU. Georgetown is the only team to defeat West Virginia this season with a 1-0 double overtime win earlier this year. The Hoya win at Dick Dlesk Stadium was the first time an opponent had beaten the Mountaineers at home in over two years. West Virginia’s College Cup debut will be at 5 p.m. ET Friday. The game, from Avaya Stadium in San Jose, will be broadcast on ESPNU as well as the Mountaineer Sports Network. The National Championship will be televised at 6 p.m. Sunday.
WVU places goal on 10-win season ahead of Senior Day BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR
FOOTBALL As the seniors play on Mountaineer Field one final time, they have a chance to do what only eight other teams in program history have done before. Sitting at 9-2, West Virginia is one win shy of securing its first 10-win season since 2011, head coach Dana Holgorsen’s first year leading the program. Between then and now, it’s been a pair of 7-win seasons, one 4-win season and an 8-win
campaign in 2015. WVU understands that it is out of the running for a Big 12 title, but it’s the next goal in line heading into Bowl season. “That’s what we pride in,” said WVU junior receiver Shelton Gibson. “We know we can’t play for the Big 12, but every single step we’re going to play for something different. Since we can’t play for the Big 12, we’re not playing for the College Playoffs, we’re playing to have 10 wins.” But a challenge against Baylor awaits, who even with a 6-5 record and amidst a five-game losing streak, offers a lot to prepare for. It all starts offen-
sively despite the loss of starting quarterback Seth Russell to a season-ending injury in November, leaving little dropoff with backup Zach Smith guiding the group. The freshman signal-caller has completed more than 60 percent of passes during his first pair of career starts, including 377 of the team’s 634 yards in last week’s loss to Texas Tech. “That’s the one thing about it, they’re still averaging 550 yards of offense a game,” said WVU defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. “They’ve got playmakers, they’re explosive and this kid is just the next guy up mentality, comes in and
know we can’t play for the Big 12, but every single step “We we’re going to play for something different. Since we can’t
play for the Big 12, we’re not playing for the College Playoffs, we’re playing to have 10 wins. -Shelton Gibson, WVU Wide Receiver they still do what they do.”
”
Receiver KD Cannon enters as the top target for Smith, hauling in 10 touchdown receptions while also rated as the No. 4 in the Big 12 for yards per game, providing difficulties for opposing cornerbacks the last few years. Next to him are Ismhael Zamora, Chris Platt and Blake Lynch - all four eclipsing 400 yards this season. WVU knows all too well how explosive the Bears can be through the air, as the team
amassed 389 yards in last year’s 62-38 rout of the Mountaineers in Waco. “You have to cover their wideouts, because you’re looking at three or four NFL wideouts that are able to stretch the field and change the game at anytime, so without a doubt our toughest test of the year,” Holgorsen said. Joining Cannon is the threeheaded monster at running back: JaMycal Hasty, Shock
Linwood and Terence Williams. The three are averaging 190 yards on the ground, also combining for 14 scores. “Baylor is a dangerous football team,” Holgorsen said. “They’re tough bunch to go against. There is a reason why this game is being played on Dec. 3. The last game when the Big 12 comes out with their schedule, there is a reason why West Virginia and Baylor were pitted together.”

Gameday Predictions DANA HOLGORSEN QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “We have 21 seniors, we have 16 fifth-year seniors and 14 of these guys are starting, so 66 percent of the guys who are going through Senior Day are starting football players for us. You want to know why we’re getting close to winning 10 games that pretty much sums it up for you right there. Have a lot of guys who have been in the program for a long time. It means a lot to them.”

Senior center Orlosky anchors offensive line BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS WRITER
FOOTBALL It’s getting close to awards season in college football, and West Virginia’s coaches are hoping that senior center Tyler Orlosky doesn’t get ignored. Head coach Dana Holgorsen calls Orlosky an All-American—the outspoken leader of the WVU offense, Orlosky has taken his game to a new level in his final season. Orlosky is the experienced, intellectual core of the Mountaineer offensive line, and Holgorsen says he’s one of the smartest players he’s ever coached. And here’s the kicker: he doesn’t watch film.
“I don’t see the need for me to sit there and watch a defense,” Orlosky said. “Someone asked me that the other day and I just said, ‘Once you start 40 games and have played close to 50, if someone throws something at me that I’ve never seen before then they’ve reinvented the game of football or something has to be wrong.’” Awards season could prove to be kind to Orlosky. Apart from possible All-American and All-Big 12 nods—he was second team All-Big 12 last season—Orlosky currently occupies spots on the watch lists for the Outland Trophy and Rimington Trophy, given out to the best interior lineman and center in college football, respectively. But no matter what hard-
ware the senior from Cleveland may take home, he’s made a tremendous impact on a WVU offense that has averaged more yards of total offense (514.60) than any Mountaineer team in the 21st century. West Virginia is averaging 1.73 sacks per game, down nearly a full sack from last season, and Orlosky is only responsible for one of the 19 sacks WVU has allowed this season. West Virginia’s running game has produced four backs with 100-yard games this season, and the Mountaineers are averaging nearly six yards a carry when bringing it up the middle behind Orlosky. WVU’s offensive success owes a lot to Orlosky’s skill as a blocker, but also to his mind for the game—Holgorsen,
WVU’s primary playcaller, always heeds his center’s words. “I talk to him like a coach,” Holgorsen said. “He’ll tell you he hates me and I tell you I hate him, but the truth of the matter is we work together pretty damn good. We’ll be on the sidelines and he’ll say ‘I know,’ and I won’t even have to say it because he knows what’s coming out of my mouth. What he says matters.” At 6-foot-4, 296 pounds, Orlosky is considered one of the top center prospects in the NFL Draft, ranked No. 2 at the position by CBS Sports with a projected second round grade. But with two games left in his Mountaineer career, Orlosky is hoping to finish strong and give WVU its best record since joining the Big 12 before

West Virginia University center Tyler Orlosky addresses members of the media in July during Big 12 media day. he entertains any thoughts of the NFL. “We have two more games, that’s what’s left to say,” Orlosky said. ”We want to finish the season at 11-2, go to a
good bowl game and put this team in a good position going into next year. That’s what just about anyone would say right now.”

A look at the four senior captains BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR
ADOPTIONS
FOOTBALL Justin Arndt (Linebacker) Martinsburg, WV A West Virginia native, the former high school star had a long journey to becoming one of WVU’s top starters defensively at linebacker. Arndt entered the program as a walk-on, questioning whether he would even be on the team down the road. Then the coaching staff awarded him a scholarship, and he hasn’t looked back. He leads the team in tackles (71) and tackles for loss (7), also forcing a fumble and recording three sacks this season. “He hasn’t given it up yet and he’s played his best football as a senior, which I’m really happy for, and just a kid that we wouldn’t have been able to get by with without this year. I can’t say enough good stuff about him,” said defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. Noble Nwachukwu (Defensive end) Wylie, TX Nwachukwu, who didn’t play football until his junior year of high school, went from a lightly recruited commodity to WVU’s top defensive lineman. He entered the year as a Preseason All-Big 12 selection, coming a season after recording a team-high 8.5 sacks. While his totals may be down this year (three sacks), the WVU coaching staff believes opponents are placing more of an emphasis on stopping Nwachukwu. “You know Noble, as you guys know, is not a man of many words so he just kind of stays to himself and just prepares and goes out and plays hard every week,” Gib-

LEGAL NOTICES ANDREW SPELLMAN / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
WVU senior wide receiver Daikiel Shorts looks to take a pass to the end-zone against TCU on Oct. 22. son said. “His motor never stops and I never hear him complain. He just does what he does and is just a great young man.” Tyler Orlosky (Center) Cleveland, Ohio The 6’4,” 296 lb. center from Ohio has paved the way for one of the nation’s top offensive lines. Four different running backs have amassed 100 rushing yards in games this year, topped off with true freshman Martell Pettaway last Saturday. Orlosky was named a team captain as a junior, an Academic All-Big 12 honoree the last three seasons, and made the Second Team All-Big 12 in 2015. “It’s crazy to think that five years went by so fast and that I am going to be leaving West Virginia,” Orlosky said. “I will always come back, I feel that I will always have a place here. The people have been great to me and I hope things stay the same, but it is a great place and I am happy to have played five years here.” Daikiel Shorts (Receiver) Clayton, NJ There is rarely a time Shorts disappoints the coaching staff, being dubbed Mr. Reliable on the gridiron. His 815 receiving yards are a team-high, placing
his 1,000-yard goal within reach heading into the regular season finale and the Bowl game. Shorts is lauded for his unselfish demeanor, becoming one of the senior leaders for the Mountaineers. “He’s the backbone of what we do, he’s the hardest working kid I’ve ever seen, he’s the best practice player I’ve ever seen, he has injuries and you don’t know he has injuries because he goes out and he practices his butt off every single day,” Holgorsen said.
