MANRRS spearheads Louisiana flood relief

BY CONNOR SCHLEGEL CORRESPONDENT

When flooding devastated Louisiana in August, thousands lost their homes.

Now, one student who calls Baton Rouge home is trying to aid her neighbors from West Virginia University.

“All of my friends that I know, they lost their houses, everything,” said Ashleigh Nabers, a WVU student and Louisiana native. “Everything had to be gutted out. They’ve lost everything. Everything was underwater."

The Red Cross characterized the floods in Louisiana as the worst natural

disaster in the United States since Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast in 2012. Thirteen people lost their lives, and an estimated 146,000 their homes, according to the Baton Rouge Area Chamber.

When floods ravaged southern West Virginia this past summer, the University community united to help those affected. Following the historic flooding in Louisiana, Nabers rallied an effort on campus within her student organization.

Since Nabers was in Morgantown when the flooding occurred, she’s still hearing first-hand accounts from those affected by the natu-

In this Aug. 16, 2016 file photo, residents survey the flood water on Old Jefferson Highway at Bayou Manchac in Prairieville, La. The flooding killed at least 13 people, damaged 150,000 homes and cost at least $8.7 billion. flooded,” she said. “So peoral disaster.

“Even houses that were ple that normally wouldn’t in no flood zones, they get flooding, didn’t (have)

flood insurance because it never floods there. So people are literally in devastation.”

Nabers is leading the effort in her student organization, Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences, or MANRRS, to raise money for victims of the Louisiana flooding via the Dollars for Disaster program.

“What we’re really looking to do is get cash donations so (victims) can use it however they need,” Nabers said.

Cash donations are preferred since there is not currently any adequate food storage and refrigera-

tion space due to the water damage incurred by homes in the flooding.

The organization also set up an Amazon account for those looking to donate items directly to people in need.

Students can donate to the Louisiana Flood Relief efforts at the Starbucks in Barnes & Noble at Evansdale Crossing or by going online to iServe.wvu.edu and clicking on Dollars for Disaster.

“I thought, ‘this could never happen to me’, and then it did,” Nabers said.

Uber comes to Morgantown, creates jobs and safer rides

BY MATTHEW PENNOCK CORRESPONDENT

Uber is a ridesharing app which allows users to have a driver pick them up seemingly at the flick of a button.

The app began operations in West Virginia July 19, after previously being barred in order to protect the existing taxi industries, because of its easy to use aesthetic. It offers drivers the opportunity to make their own hours and can be much cheaper than the traditional taxi service.

“I think one reason why Uber fits with the (stu-

dent) population so well is because students are a lot more tech savvy than the average citizen,” said Jeremy, an Uber driver and Morgantown resident who asked to only be known by his first name. “Its an easy transition for students to use an app to pay for their services whereas, older people its not as natural.”

The ridesharing app is currently only available in two West Virginia cities, Charleston and Morgantown.

Uber drivers create their own schedules, making the job more appealing to students who are looking to

Pricing with app does vary depending on the time of day and how many

drivers are currently active. So as demand goes up, so does the Uber rate. Depending on the time of day and the level of demand

this may or may not be cheaper than a taxi. However, the trade off is that Uber may take as little five minutes to arrive where a taxi may take much longer. In comparison Motown Taxi uses a flat rate of $3.25 for the first 1/7 of a mile and then $0.25 for each additional 1/7.

For example, at around six-o-clock on a Monday night the Uber rate was 2.7 times the normal. A 2.58-mile ride that lasted for about 10 minutes was $18.35 at that time of day on a Monday.

Weekends, however, are generally the busiest ac-

cording to Jeremy. Many students look to Uber as a safe affordable way of getting home after a night of partying and drinking.

“That’s one thing I like about Uber,” Jeremy said.

“You know, being able to help keep drunk drivers off the road.”

Motown Taxi declined to comment.

The effects of Uber on the taxi industry here in Morgantown has not yet been measured, but it still provides students another way of getting around town and getting home safely on a late night.

Clinton spokesman says she'll rejoin campaign trail Thursday WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Hillary Clinton will be back on the campaign trail Thursday, after spending several days at home recovering from pneumonia.

Campaign spokesman Nick Merrill says the Democratic nominee will resume normal campaign activities later this week.

Clinton is scheduled to address the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute dinner in Washington on Thursday evening and appear on "The Tonight Show" Friday.

Clinton's doctor diagnosed her with pneumonia on Friday and recommended she take five

days off to rest, Clinton told CNN. Her campaign didn't disclose the illness until Sunday, after video circulated on social media showing her stumbling and being supported by aides after abruptly leaving a 9/11 memorial service in New York City.

She headed to her daughter's house in Manhattan before going to her suburban New York home, where she was examined by her physician. The doctor later said in a statement that Clinton was "rehydrated and recovering nicely."

The illness has largely kept Clinton out of the public eye at a pivotal time

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, accompanied by traveling press secretary Nick Merrill, left, reacts to a reporter's question as she finishes speaking to members of the media before boarding her campaign plane at Westchester County Airport in White Plains, N.Y., Thursday, Sept. 8, 2016, to travel to Charlotte, N.C., to attend a campaign rally. during the fall election.

Merrill said the Democratic nominee spent Tuesday reading brief-

ing material, calling aides and watching President Barack Obama campaign on her behalf in Philadel-

phia. Clinton had planned to campaign Wednesday in Las Vegas. Former President Bill Clinton will headline that event in her place.

The nearly eight-hour gap between when Clinton was first reported to have stumbled and when her campaign disclosed her pneumonia has revived questions about her penchant for secrecy.

Facing criticism for her lack of transparency, Clinton has promised to release additional medical records. She's also expressed regret for failing to follow her doctor's orders for several days of rest.

"I probably would have been better off if I'd just

pulled down my schedule on Friday," Clinton said in a Monday interview on CNN, adding, "I just didn't think it was going to be that big a deal."

After months of questioning Clinton's stamina, GOP rival Donald Trump has delivered a measured response on the issue.

"I hope she gets well soon," he said Monday on Fox News' "Fox and Friends." Trump is expected to release more medical information about his own health this week on "The Dr. Oz Show."

WVU faces $45 million budget cut by 2020

BY LENA CAMILLETTI CITY EDITOR

MR. & MS. MOUNTAINEER Applications Available Deadline: Friday, Sept. 16

Open to Senior & Graduate level students completing their finial semester by May 2017.

For info & online applications visit: mountaineerweek.wvu.edu

A $45 million budget cut is in store at West Virginia University.

President E. Gordon Gee explained in an email to students yesterday.

“Over the past several years, there has been a decline in State support,” his email read. “Increased competition in the enrollment market and the importance of keeping tuition affordable has resulted in increased tuition discounting and scholarships that impact revenue.”

According to a Charleston Gazettte-Mail article earlier this week, WVU’s Freshmen class this fall increased by 8 percent from last year.

Gee made it a point to emphasize the abundant

opportunity WVU offers its students, and noted how recent research conductded by the University made WVU an R1 status institution. But, in order to prevail as an institution and continue to provide even more opportunity, he believes the budget cut is essential.

“In short,” he continued, “funding has decreased while cost obligations have risen.”

With adjustments effective the 2017 fiscal year, WVU's budget will decrease by $45 million by 2020.

“University leadership has been meeting to discuss the best ways we can reach this saving through cost avoidance, expense reductions and new revenue.” Gee continued.

However, Gee wants stu-

dents as well as faculty to be involved as the University moves forward with the plan.

There will be a Campus Conversation at noon, Sept.

20 at the Erikson Alumni Center for further information. Provost Joyce McConnell, Vice Provost Russ Dean and Vice President for Administration and Finance Narvel Reese will explain, in detail, how the plan to cut costs will work. The meeting will also be live streamed.

“This is indeed a challenging moment,” Gee concluded. “But it is also a moment of opportunity for self-reflection—something any large, complex organization should do.”

OPINION

Meet Gary Johnson, The Great Compromise of 2016

BY MATT MENDE CORRESPONDENT

It’s been a strange and polarizing political season thus far in 2016.

With so much chaos, the timing might be right for a glimpse beyond the twoparty system. It might be time to look to the Libertarian candidate who has what it takes to be a major factor in the upcoming presidential election.

The presidential primaries have concluded, with the Republican and Democratic parties nominating Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, respectively. Both of them, however, hold remarkably low favorability ratings amongst American voters. The polling organization Gallop found in July that Clinton and Trump are equally disliked, each holding a 58 percent unfavorable rate at the time.

Young adults are always a vital group for election season. They are also one demographic especially dissatisfied with Clinton and Trump.

A recent study known as the GenForward Survey determined the views of adults ages 30 and younger on the upcoming election.

The results are a staggering rejection of both of our major political parties and their candidates for the general election this fall.

A significant amount—36 percent—reported that “the two-party system is seriously broken.”

Just three in 10 young adults say they are satisfied with the choice of Trump or Clinton, leaving seven in 10 young adults looking for a third party candidate.

Enter Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico, and the Libertarian party’s candidate for president of the U.S. The Libertarian Party is centered on the prioritization of civil liberties and individual autonomy.

In policy, this means a small government with minimal interference in citizens’ daily lives. This has caused the party to often be called “socially liberal and fiscally conservative.”

Specific policies a Gary Johnson administration would pursue include an end to the drug war, tax cuts and environmental protection, among other things.

Johnson differs significantly from both Trump and Hillary on foreign

policy, favoring a more non-interventionist policy.

The Libertarian Party’s 2016 platform includes the following: “American foreign policy should seek an America at peace with the world. Our foreign policy should emphasize defense against attack from abroad and enhance the likelihood of peace by avoiding foreign entanglements. We would end the current U.S. government policy of foreign intervention, including military and economic aid.”

Kyle Bahr, a 25-yearold junior WVU student and a member of the College Libertarians club, explained one of the strengths of the Libertarian party is its strong ability to compromise.

"The party in itself is a compromise,” he said.

The Libertarian party, Bahr believes, is in a constant state of compromise between the conservative fiscal policies and the socially liberal policies that it pursues.

When analyzing Johnson in the context of this election, it is easy to see how he embodies this compromising spirit. One of Trump’s biggest appeals

JOHN RAOUX / AP PHOTO

In this May 27, 2016 file photo, Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson speaks to supporters and delegates at the National Libertarian Party Convention in Orlando, Fla. in this election is his anti-establishment personality, and Clinton has firmly drawn support for her social policies.

Bahr believes you can compromise and have the best of both.

“He (Johnson) is anti-establishment but not inflammatory, and you can get the social policies with-

out the untrustworthiness of Hillary Cinton,” he said.

Johnson may not be the favorite to win the Presidency this November, however, in an election season which has defied all logic, expect the Libertarian Party candidate to make a bigger splash than a third party candidate has since Ross Perot pulled in 18 per-

cent of the popular vote in 1992.

For those heading to the voting booth in November, remember to cast your ballot for the candidate who best represents your beliefs and values, and don’t be afraid to compromise— it’s the very core of politics.

Students give opinions on campus meal plans

BY EMILY ZEKONIS CORRESPONDENT

Nothing defines college quite like the classic tale of the inevitable “Freshman 15,” and at West Virginia University, students have an abundance of opportunities to gain it.

From smoothies to mediterranean meals, WVU Dining Services tries to appeal to all taste buds within its 27 different locations.

However, many students live off-campus, and while meal plans are still an option, many choose to cook at home or take advantage

of other options.

Regardless of what is required or suggested, where are Mountaineers really eating?

“I honestly like having a meal plan because my mom isn’t here to cook for me, so this is definitely the better option,” said Grant Johnson, a freshman living in Lincoln Hall. “My favorite place to eat is the Chickfil-A in the Mountainlair.”

Johnson joins the 44 percent of polled students who have and regularly use a University dining plan, and is satisfied with the variety of options for on campus dining.

“I have (a meal plan), but I really wish I didn’t have to,” said Mary Catherine Platz, a freshman pre-pharmacy student.

“There’s not a lot of options that I like, and cooking your own food is so much healthier.”

Like 19 percent of polled students, Platz has an issue with the residential dining plans and the food options on campus. Many students complained about the lack of health conscious choices, and found the nutritious foods offered to be unappealing.

Having a meal plan felt like a waste of money, to

some. They felt they could be enjoying their meals more by purchasing their own food.

The remaining 37 percent of students did not have meal plans at all. All of these students lived off-campus in apartments and houses, and were mainly upperclassmen with the exception of a few commuting freshman.

Living away from home can make dining a challenge for students, forcing them to learn the art of cooking their favorite meals from home, or the art of swiping an ID for a meal.

U92 on the review: Swans' "The Glowing Man"

BY NICK KOBANHOGUE U92 MUSIC DIRECTOR

Swans, in their current form, are finished.

Four studio albums in total constitute the second chapter of the post-rock group’s career, and these albums have all been critically acclaimed.

Thankfully, “The Glowing Man” lives up to the high standard set by the previous three, and the band's career as a whole.

Fortunately, frontman Michael Gira said Swans will continue in another form with a higher focus on collaborations.

In its original form, Swans was raw.

The group's simplistic and

powerful playing style highlighted the aggression delivered by Gira, and cemented it in the “No-Wave” scene of New York City in the mid ‘80s. After a hiatus ended in 2010, the band's musical tone shifted from one of unending rage with no hope for the future to one of lofty hatred, repressed in a monastic showing of patience and self-control.

Swans did what most of us hope to do as we age: Took its virile energy and refined it into something more.

This transition came with the 2010 release of “My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky.” This release redefined how the group's unrelenting anger sounded. Lush sound-

scapes with minimal frivolities paired with a haunting vocal delivery worked to create the desolate tension that became a staple of its later sound.

Bolstered by critical ac-

claim, it stretched these ideas out to their utmost limits. Each successive release painted a darker and grimmer image of how the band members see the world. The group's final

album in this form, however, takes the style in a slightly different direction.

“The Glowing Man” may well be Swans’ most humanizing record to date.

Throughout most of its career, the band's focus has been on conjuring up otherworldly tones. This record sees them ditching their usual stance as harbingers for the end of days, instead forcing the listener to make these conclusions based on Gira’s narration.

The consistency of the instrumentation on this record serves to pull the group's music back down to earth, in contrast with the incredibly surreal sounds of the previous three releases. The effect of this

change makes “The Glowing Man” feel like less of a journey through the ethereal, and more of a story told by a man who just returned.

Despite the new tone, Swans does not compromise its aggression in the least.

The palate of sounds may not be quite as demanding on the ear as earlier work, but the overall effect is the same. The clearer, less abrasive instrumentation gives Gira’s stories room to breathe and take up the entirety of the listener’s attention.

The effect of all these changes produces what will go down as one of the best albums of the last decade.

WEDNESDAY SEPT. 14, 2016

Q&A Managing Editor, Jennifer Gardner, sat down with McClung to talk about her experience in the puppet industry and the program here at the University.

Q. What drew you to puppetry?

A. I was a studio potter and I just kept throwing the same mugs. It just wasn’t for me. Also, it was a life of being a solitary person. I did a lot of sculpting, so I thought, the next thing seems like these need to talk and move. I’m not an extrovert, but I do like to be around people because I like collaborating. When we’re all together and we are all working together to tell a story.

Q. Do you enjoy being a professor in puppetry?

A. I worked at Animax Designs (a puppet workshop in Nashville), and I loved it because everything I would draw we could create exactly like I drew it. It spoiled me so much. But then we just put it in a box like it was a package. I just thought that it was lacking something, there was no getting to see them animate. This school is great because it is a research institution, so they support and really want you to experiment with things. I wouldn’t have ever gotten to experiment with polyfoam masks, which are custom to the actor’s face. So when the actor moves, they’ll move somewhat.

Q. What goes into learning puppetry?

A. For me it is storytelling, and creating the environment and the characters. Not only can you change the texture, creature and species, and everything, but you can also change the scale. It could even be a shadow puppet. So it’s looking at things from different angles, looking at the object as a person, or as a thing that can move as an entity. It’s amazing that you can take a play that’s meant for humans and translate it into a puppet

What is wellbeing? I recently asked my coworkers this his question and discovered common threads throughout their responses. esponses.

They said wellbeing involves making healthy choicess today that help you meet future goals. It affects our personal nal perceptions and social interactions. It prioritizes utilizing ng our current strengths while striving to grow, recognizingg our best now while still trying to become better. It incorpoporates mental and physical, as well as spiritual, practices. ces.

That pull between different areas of focus is the holisolistic quality of wellbeing at play.

Mary McClung Professor of Costume Design, Director of Costuming show, and it will be just as successful, or even more successful. You basically have to be self-sufficient as a puppet person, because you are doing everything. So you learn how to move the puppets, lighting, scene design, creature design, colors, materials and honing your skills to work with different materials, and it’s also being a writer and a director sometimes. You have to promote yourself and do all of your business. You’re a package.

Q. How do you choose the materials you use when making puppets?

A. It kind of comes through the research and the feeling I want it to have. If I want it to have a primitive look, I may want the texture to be kind of coarse, or the movement to be sort of blocky, or even make it more simplified. We use all kinds of things, like different forms of plastic, wood, paper mache, and different kinds of foams. They can be made out of anything. It’s kind of the same thing you do when you do costume or scene design.

The feeling you want the audience to come away with, or you want it to have, kind of drives it.

Q. Do you favor any specific way of making puppets?

A. I do like making things look as real as possible. I like to make them look like they came from a real place, and I want them to look real in their world. So I like carving details, and making teeth and toes. So I guess to some degree I like realism. I also like recycling things, like reusing a milk jug for a toe nail or soup cans for armor. If I think something is a really good material, then I keep it and I use it. It makes me a hoarder, but I end up using so many things.

PROFESSOR PROFILE

When West Virginia native Mary McClung is creating a new puppet, she feels a special connection to them.

She gets into their head, and tries to imagine what got them out of bed in the morning and helped make their decisions that day. Technically, as designer, she isn’t supposed to build the puppets, but she loves getting into the details, and said she even feels like a dental hygienist sometimes.

Why wellbeing matters

Even if we can comprise a concept of wellbeing from different personal definitions, why does it matter particularly to college students whose lives already require them to balance quite a lot?

It matters because studies show those who are proactive in their pursuit of wellbeing are more likely to thrive. Notice that word choice: thrive.

Thriving is not about surviving college. Students facing the often daily struggles of college lifestress, lack of sleep, social pressure, etc.- may find themselves only focusing on just getting through the day. Embracing wellbeing as an all-encompassing plan empowers students to make the most of their college experience, to thrive as individuals who can contribute their best to society both during their time in college and after graduation.

Social connectedness, personal mindfulness and physical health can all improve through wellbeing. Not only can they improve, but they become interwoven. Consider the fact that stress in-terferes with mental processes. That means choosingg to engage in mindfulness and relaxation techniques can benefit the West Virginia University students who ho annually report stress as the top impediment to aca-th demic performance on the National Collegiate Health Assessment II. While wellbeing is important, it may seem overwhelmwhelming. Visualize wellbeing as a gradual process rather er than an overnight change. Wellbeing is comprised of individual dividual choices, so one healthy choice today can lead to another ther one made tomorrow. Like dominoes, every move affects what is ahead. One choice can be the start of your journey towards owards becoming a more vibrant you.

Stay tuned each Wednesday for WELLWVU Student Spotlights to see how your fellow Mountaineers are re putting their WELLbeing1st!

WVU makes history, sits atop two national rankings

BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER

WOMEN'S SOCCER For the first time in the program’s 21 year history, the West Virginia (6-0-1) women’s soccer team sits atop the nation in this week’s poll.

Three days after toppling then-No. 5 Duke 3-1, the team jumped three spots to the top national spot. Duke (5-2-1) dropped to No. 8 in this week’s poll following the loss.

Before last year, the team’s highest national ranking was No. 4, achieved in the mid2000's. However, this changed last year when West Virginia spent much of the second half of the season ranked No. 2, before a devastating loss to Texas Tech in the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament.

After a six match winning streak, the Mountaineers have surged in the polls, jumping preseason No. 1 Stanford and No. 2 Florida State.

WVU has survived arguably the most difficult opening schedule in the nation, facing four ranked teams in its first seven games. That opening stretch included three teams in the top eight, including No. 4 Penn State, No. 8 Clemson and No. 5 Duke, with WVU head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown’s squad going 2-0-1.

The Mountaineers outscored those four top eight teams by a 5-2 tally, and topped their first seven opponents by a 14-4 score.

Looking ahead, hopes have to be high with the difficult part of the 2016 slate behind them.

Only one ranked opponent remains on the schedule for the Mountaineers, No. 24 Georgetown (6-1-0).

in the conference schedule comes in the form of Texas Tech (6-1-1), who fell out of the rankings following a blowout loss to Cal. The No. 1 ranking for Izzo-Brown’s team marks the 4th WVU sports program to achieve the top spot in a national poll in the school’s history.

Along with the 18-time national champion rifle team, which currently sits at No. 1, the football team achieved the feat in 2007 and the basketball team claimed the top spot in Jerry West’s sophomore year.

As far as the Big 12 is concerned, the Mountaineers are only the second team in conference history to accomplish the feat.

Texas previously ranked No. 1 in the polls for the week

of Oct. 8, 2007.

As of late, West Virginia is the only team to consistently crack the top 25, much less rank among the nation’s best.

It is evident in the team’s dominance of the conference, going 27-1-3 in conference games since the move from the Big East.

The new No. 1 team in the nation will conclude its nonconference home slate this weekend, hosting Princeton Friday night and No. 24 Georgetown on Sunday afternoon.

Both games will take place at Dick Dlesk Stadium, where West Virginia holds a 23-game unbeaten streak. Following this weekend, the team will travel to Richmond on Sept. 23 and open up conference play on Sept. 30 at home against Baylor.

No. 23 Mountaineers set for Wednesday bout

BY JOEL NORMAN SPORTS WRITER

MEN'S SOCCER A day after earning the No. 23 spot in Soccer America’s rankings, the West Virginia men’s soccer team (3-1-0) will take on the University of Maryland, Baltimore County Retrievers (1-1-2) at Dick Dlesk Stadium on Wednesday evening.

While the Mountaineers will play their third game in a five game home-stand, this is the Retrievers’ first road game of the season.

WVU is winless in three all-

time attempts against UMBC. The two opponents last met in 1996 when the Retrievers won 2-1 in Morgantown.

The Mountaineers last played Sept. 9, when they defeated Eastern Tennessee State University, 1-0, in the final minute of the first period.

Logan Lucas knocked in the winner and in the process, gave head coach Marlon LeBlanc his 100th win as head coach at West Virginia.

“An honest coach would tell you that you can’t win without good player,” LeBlanc said following the win.

“Tonight, my players cer-

tainly bailed me out because we probably didn’t have our best evening. Give a lot of credit to ETSU, because they fought tooth-and-nail to stay in that game. Their goalkeeper was fantastic and the defense was stout, clearing two off the line. We hit the post a couple of times and they did everything they could to keep us from winning this game.”

Despite the win, the Mountaineers still fell a spot down from last week’s Soccer America rankings.

West Virginia has not lost since becoming ranked,

following its upset win of then-No. 7 Georgetown on Aug. 28. However, that may be because two previously unranked teams jumped ahead of the Mountaineers.

One Mountaineer to watch on Wednesday night is goaltender Jose Santos.

The junior transfer from Tyler Community College has started all four of West Virginia’s matches and has recorded a shutout in all three of the team's wins.

Oddly, West Virginia has yet to score more than two goals in a single game this season. In LeBlanc’s 11 years

as head coach, the Mountaineers are 64-9-4 when getting more than one goal in a game.

West Virginia has come out strong in its last two home matches with a combined 15 shots in those two opening periods, but only have one goal to show for its efforts. Taking a two goal lead into the second half would be huge.

Despite its struggles this season, UMBC will be a test for WVU. As LeBlanc said on Tuesday, the Retrievers made it to the Final Four only two seasons ago.

“Our week starts with one of the top teams in the country, UMBC was a Final Four team just two years ago,” LeBlanc said. “Then we’re looking forward to George Mason on Saturday. It’ll be a tough week for us, but we’re looking forward to it.”

All of West Virginia’s four games this season have been decided by a single goal, with the winning team only scoring once. The Mountaineers can’t anticipate Santos will be perfect again, so they’ll have to continue their aggressive offensive attack as of late.

Wideout Shorts on pace for big senior season

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR

FOOTBALL Before this season, senior Daikiel Shorts made a lofty goal.

He wanted to be a 1,000yard receiver, the first Mountaineer to do so since Kevin White in 2014. While that may appear difficult for someone that hasn’t reached 600 yards in a season since arriving on campus, the results are in his favor now.

Shorts has a team-high 224 yards and 14 catches, finding his way to a number of big plays in the middle of the field. There’s a confidence he exudes about reaching the goal, but he also knows he’s not the only Mountaineer that can do it.

“I’m very confident, but also before the season I knew that we also have Jovon (Durante), Ka’Raun (White) and Shelton (Gibson) out there,” Shorts said.

“They could easily get those

1,000 yards too, so we’ve just got to keep working and everything will fall into place.”

Gibson, Shorts and White each have 120-plus yards this season, with Gibson and Shorts surpassing the 200-yard mark. But it’s been the biggest step for Shorts thus far.

The Clayton, NJ native is nearly halfway to matching his career-high output in a season. All of the offseason work is paying off, working on timing with quarterback Skyler Howard and route running with receivers coach Tyron Carrier.

“Working with coach Carrier and just working on little things to get open, but I’ll say more so me and (Howard) have a pretty good connection,” Shorts said. “He knows where I’m going to be and he knows where I need him to be.”

There’s a keen awareness of where to pick apart the opposing defense, allowing Shorts to find open space

for Howard and move the offense down the field.

While it helps up his statistics throughout the game, it’s beneficial for other reasons as well.

It allows the defense to move down and focus more on the inside of the field, opening up space on the outside and down the field. It’s resulted in Shelton Gibson and Ka’Raun— two quick receivers on the outside—to tally big plays down the sideline.

In Saturday’s victory over Youngstown State, Howard completed three touchdown strikes of 50-plus yards to Gibson and White, stemming from the safeties shifting down because of Shorts tearing apart the inside.

“Just knowing the holes, knowing where to sit at,” Carrier said. “Reading the defense. Everybody knows it, he just happens to play on the inside. I think he does a really great job of finding the soft spots and

sitting into it. It’s going to help the guys outside.

That’s what happened this week.”

But before Shorts can become a 1,000-yard receiver—which would likely make him an All-Big 12 selection for the first time— he needs to avoid “bad habits,” in the words of Carrier.

The heat—although it didn’t appear to do much damage Saturday—often fatigues him and the entire receiving corps.

Once the bad habits and mistakes are limited, Shorts has the potential of being the next Mountaineer receiver to achieve his preseason goal.

There’s a long line of great receivers that have made their way through the program, and coaches know Shorts can add his name to the 1,000-yard list.

“That’s the standard,” Carrier said. “I don’t see nothing else but that. He’s one of the guys that can get it.”
