OPINION

OPINION WRITER When parents send their children off to college they go through the emotional state of detachment. They want their child to succeed, and they know it’s time to let go. But their biggest fear is their child’s safety. Morgantown has its reputation as a party school. But West Virginia University has great academic excellence, as the University ranks nationally for many scholarships, has 19 named Carnegie Foundation professors of the year and offers many academic programs. Some believe that WVU is lacking in its campus safety. “I don’t think people necessarily feel unsafe on campus but in the community surrounding the University, at times. There is UPD presence on campus, and if you need them there are emergency station to alert police if there aren’t any around in an emergency situation. Not being alone after dark is a way for people to feel more safe,” said Emma McKenzie, a senior psychology student from, Follansbee, W.Va. McKenzie suggests adding more street lights. If a student is walking home alone, they will feel safer in a well-lit place. “I feel safe but, if there’s more of a buddy system I think WVU can be safer,” said Taylor Muller, a junior studying criminal justice from Honeoye Falls-Lima, New York. “A buddy can make a positive impact on one another because personally I feel more safe when I’m with friends.” But for those who choose to walk alone, having cameras on all streets could make a student feel safer. Some landlords have pro-

If there is ever a crime or illegal act, they have cameras recording as evidence. By increasing cameras to all streets and houses, crimes may decrease as well as making students feel safer. University Police are currently looking for a public safety dispatcher. Their duties would include reviving and transmitting critical and non-emergency information and to take all measures possible to ensure the safety of the WVU community. This is just one of the few things UPD is doing to increase safety. They have also turned to social media to give tips to stu-

dents on how to be safe while walking or driving. Some suggestions include, as a pedestrian, “staying to the right and avoid walking in bike lanes,” “Don’t walk and text,” “Never rely on a car to stop: expect it won’t,” “Head up, phone down: hang up while walking.” All of these tips may feel as if it’s common knowledge, yet a student passed away due to lack of pedestrian safety precautions, and another student was injured after being hit by a car. There are also phone apps assist with safety. The LiveSafe app enables direct two-way communication with UPD us-

ing text, photos, video, and audio. Another app is SafeWalk, which enables a user can also virtually walk home with friends and family. WVU has many tools and tactics to help students feel safe but are not advocating these tools as much as possible. Being aware of these tools and methods can help increase campus safety. However, the biggest tool with staying safe is being aware of surroundings. Know what is going on, don’t get distracted while walking or driving, and always let someone know where you are going.

SGA making changes to election format BY JOE SEVERINO STAFF WRITER

WVU Student Government Association is changing its election format. The biggest change will be the number of senators allowed on each campaign’s ticket. The amount will drop from 17 to 10 on each individual ticket. SGA President Pro Tempore Roark Sizemore said the move was made to encourage more diversity of ideas and promote the competitiveness of elections. “We really hope that the kind of competitiveness that we saw in this election, where you had three full tickets running, is something that keeps up,” Sizemore, who was an SGA senator last year, said. SGA also plans to lower the amount of money campaigns are allowed to spend. Individual senator candi-

“We really hope that the kind of competitiveness that we saw in this election, where you had three full tickets running, is something that keeps up.” - Roark Sizemore, previous SGA senator dates are now limited to $200 to spend on their campaign, down from $375 in past years. The amount tickets could spend on their campaign went down from $7,125 to $2,750. The amount presidential candidates could spend would remain the same at $750. “These things were done to just make it more accessible and try to ensure that there’s a diversity of ideas on the Assembly,” Sizemore said. The changes for the senator and presidential elections will go into effect next year.

Where there was no signature requirement before, SGA representatives will now have to get 50 student signatures. This will go in effect for representatives in fall 2019. Along with those changes, the position of Elections Chair, previously held by an SGA appointee, will now be selected by WVU Student Engagement and Leadership. “It’s just another thing to keep them unbiased and outside of SGA so they don’t really have a stake in it,” Sizemore said.

Squats for Schools event to raise money for trip to Nicaragua “I think what Circle of Sisterhood is doing great things. This program is truly inspiring.”

BY JORDYN JOHNSON AND JULIA HILLMAN CULTURE EDITOR AND ASSISTANT CULTURE EDITOR

WVU Greek Life will host a CrossFit competition called “Squats for Schools” for the organization Circle of Sisterhood. Circle of Sisterhood was founded in 2010 and focuses on removing educational barriers for women facing poverty all over the world. They raised more than $885,000 to help build schools in more than 22 different countries. The proceeds from the athletic competition will benefit Circle of Sisterhood’s school-building mission in Nicaragua next summer. WVU Fraternity & Sorority life has partnered with the non-profit to help raise money to build the school. Circle of Sisterhood has community partnerships with sororities from around the country. It has gone on to

Circle of Sisterhood has helped raise almost $1 million to build schools in more than 22 countries in the world. build more than 15 schools in countries that many thought would never see change in their educational system. The organization works with colleges from across the country to work towards

these initiatives. The money raised for squats for schools will go towards giving children the chance at getting an education. Circle of Sisterhood is one of the largest groups of col-

lege-educated women in the world. Meanwhile, not even 7 percent of the world has a college degree, and twothirds of the amount of illiterate people in the world are women.

Circle of Sisterhood is working to change those statistics. Sororities work to donate millions of dollars every single year to help eliminate diseases, raise awareness for health issues, prevent domestic violence, eliminate poverty as well as other important volunteering. According to Circle of Sisterhood, “boundaries are disintegrating and technology allows us to live in a global neighborhood. Today’s sorority women understand and appreciate others on a global scale, realizing that they have the wherewithal to make a difference for the less fortunate both domestically and globally.” As college educated women,

those involved in Circle of Sisterhood understand the value of education and believe that every girl should have the right to learn. “I think what Circle of Sisterhood is doing great things. This program is truly inspiring,” said Skylar Upton, a member of Alpha Omicron Pi. The event kicks off at 11 a.m. on April 22. Prizes for the top three teams include a Yeti cooler and gift card baskets. Members from student organizations from across campus are sending teams of three to the competition. If anyone has any questions, they can contact Rachel Rogers at wvupanhellenic@ gmail.com.

OPINION

Students critical of new grading system BY GARRETT BURGESS & MORGAN KING OPINION WRITERS

We don’t support Faculty Senate’s +/- decision. Here’s why: On Monday, April 9, 2018, WVU’s Faculty Senate convened and approved a new grading scale to be implemented in the Fall of 2021. The latest plan would decrease or increase the value of a particular grade depending on the (+/-) awarded. The current scale, weighted on a 4.0, is a standard scale for which: A=4, B=3, C= 2, etc. The new system, while incentivizing earning higher grades via (+), also packs a punch to those students whose GPAs feature a low (-). Many peer schools utilize the (+/-) system for two reasons: (1) Grades are believed to be more accurate/refined, and (2) provide more appropriate compensation for the effort of students. While this system would, in fact, refine grades to a more precise and accurate figure, one could also argue that the new, weighted scale goes against the principles of our landgrant mission and weighs too heavily against those wishing to maintain or acquire a specific GPA for scholarship pursuits or renewal (especially the PROMISE Scholarship). As preparation for graduate and professional schools, the (+/-) system is believed to make it easier for prospective schools to compare appli-

cants in the admissions process. Though limited graduate institutions require this GPA scaling, medical schools most commonly adopt the practice of converting the GPA of undergraduate applicants into the (+/-) grading scale. The American Association for Medical Colleges offers guidance with an application grade conversion guide to provide potential medical students with an idea of their weighted GPA. Individualized graduate programs already convert student GPAs to their standards. Why should WVU proactively do this to disadvantage students outside of those graduate tracks? It is not a safe or even fair assumption that everyone at WVU goes on to graduate or professional school, and we must be careful not to disadvantage — in terms of keeping their scholarships and grants — those whose future plans do not include graduate work. The WV PROMISE Scholarship, first introduced in 1999 and implemented in 2001, at first covered 100 percent of the tuition costs; it’s now capped at 70 percent. Hikes in tuition across the state are leading to more student debt and are making it harder for young people to afford even the most reasonably priced institutions in West Virginia. The PROMISE scholarship, while previously threatened by funding cuts, continues to provide thousands of students with a secure source

of tuition assistance. It continues to ensure that young West Virginians can gain the education so critical not only to their own success, but also to the future of our state. The PROMISE has one main requirement: Keep a 3.0 GPA following a WV student’s first year in college. On the proposed scale from WVU’s administration, if a student receives an average below 83% (or B- avg.), they would potentially lose $4,750 per year. WVU itself, which prides itself on issuing scholarships across the board to students of all backgrounds, requires a 3.2 to maintain scholarship eligibility. By implementing this new weighted scale system, it is clear that WVU would make it more challenging than ever to maintain the GPA needed for scholarships. Many of our students work parttime jobs in addition to going to school; are they likely to benefit from a scale that potentially endangers their access to scholarship and financial support? As a land-grant institution, West Virginia University is indebted to the state and its people, and WVU gives back to the state in multiple ways. West Virginia University’s current mission as the state flagship land-grant institution is dedicated to “leading transformation in West Virginia.” By making it more difficult for students to maintain WV/WVU scholarships, are we genuinely abiding by this principle?

GPA weighing scale Eﬀective Fall 2021, Grade Point Average calculations at WVU will be weighted according to the following scale:

A+ A AB+ B BC+ C CD+ D DF

4.0 4.0 3.7 3.3 3.0 2.7 2.3 2.0 1.7 1.3 1.0 0.7 0.0

Course grades are weighted according to the scale in eﬀect at the time the course is taken. The College of Law will continue to use its own scale.

GAMER | 7

BY JEFFREY SCOTT GAMER COLUMNIST

PHOTO VIA FLICKR

A comic book store in San Antonio, Texas.

Does nerd culture have an inclusion problem? Nerd culture has been cool for so long at this point it’s getting hard to remember a time when it wasn’t. Comic book movies routinely make billions of dollars, its now unusual not to own a videogame console, and even Dungeons and Dragons has exploded in popularity, having its biggest financial year ever in 2017. If Dungeons and Dragons, the roleplaying fantasy game most commonly played in your basement wearing a homemade wizard outfit sewn by your mother can break into popular culture, anything can. In today’s climate its finally hip to be square, sexy to know the names of all seventeen versions of Spider-

man, an in-depth knowledge of anime something to embellish, not embarrass. Every 80s geek who spent their high school days shoved in lockers is weeping for joy at how far we’ve come. Ironically, while you’d think acceptance would be something nerds would clamor for, it’s caused a new set of problems to crop up. A lot of people who’ve spent their entire lives ostracized feel a little odd accepting the people who previously tormented them into their lives. “When I was in high school, people got made fun of for reading comics,” said Kevin Walter, a 37-year-old tech worker. “It’s a little weird now seeing the kind of kids

who made my life hell wearing Batman shirts. That was my thing, you know? And it feels kind of like they took it.” Kevin is quick to point out he’s happy comic book fans don’t have to go through the same kind of scrutiny he did as a kid. He does believe they’re missing out on the character that kind of adversity breeds. “Nerd culture was something that made you special,” Walter said. “Now it’s just what everyone does. There’s nothing special about that. And when you don’t have a lot of cool friends or play sports or anything, it can make you feel like you have nothing at all.” A big reason people got

into comic books in the first place (or role playing or video games or any other similar hobby) is the feeling of fantasy, the ability to be transported to a different world with none of the rules and constraints of our own. When these properties start becoming such a huge part of everyday life, that fantasy is a little lost. At the same time, it’s frustrating to people who wouldn’t be considered your stereotypical nerd to be called “fake” for enjoying dorky entertainment. “I think (that the notion of only certain people being able to enjoy nerdy entertainment) is childish,” said Hannah Cottrill, a speech pa-

“Nerd culture isn’t very accepting to those who are new, or those who want to learn about it.” - Hannah Cottrill, Speech Pathology student thology student. “I’ve liked many nerdy things since I was a child, and it’s not been to try and impress anybody else.” Cotrill, in addition to being a gamer and comic reader, plays several instruments, writes poetry and generally pursues other, nonnerdy ambitions. “Nerd culture isn’t very accepting to those who are

new,” says Cotrill. “Or those who want to learn about it.” The big lesson here is whether you like tank tops or pocket protectors, today’s nerd come in all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life. If someone likes playing football one weekend and gaming on the next, then all the better for them. Being more inclusive is a sentiment that’s rarely gone wrong.

An early projection of WVU’s starting defense FOOTBALL BY PATRICK KOTNIK SPORTS EDITOR

With spring football in the books, West Virginia will turn its attention to summer workouts and fall camp. The Mountaineers return multiple starters on all three sides of the ball, but numerous newcomers and position battles have emerged in the winter, in spring and will carry on throughout the summer and early part of fall. Let’s take a look at an early projection of who could be on the defensive side of the ball for West Virginia. Defensive Ends: Reese Donahue and Ezekiel Rose Nose Tackle: Darius Stills Coming into spring, the defensive line looked to be one of the more solid position groups on the defensive side with all three starters from last season returning. However, the group has taken a small step back with news of freshman Lamonte McDougle announcing his decision to transfer from the program. This news seemed to come out of nowhere and leaves a hole at the nose tackle position since McDougle started nine games there last season on his way to earning ESPN Freshman All-American honors, but a couple of new faces have emerged. McDougle sat out spring practices due to his recovery from shoulder surgery during the offseason, but in his place Stills emerged as one of the top defensive players during the spring and received nothing but praise from defensive coordinator Tony Gibson for his athleticism. West Virginia also added USC transfer and former fivestar recruit Kenny Bigelow to the mix at nose tackle. At defensive end, the Mountaineers return last year’s starters in Donahue and Rose. Donahue bulked up and put on more weight during the offseason in an effort to build up the defensive front and focus more on stopping the run, something the team struggled to do last season. After a solid season last year, Rose brings size, strength

We have to bring everybody else up. If someone else makes a play, go congratulate them. It is starting to work for us, bringing everybody up.” Linebackers: MIKE: Dylan Tonkey SAM: Charlie Benton WILL: David Long A series of position changes have taken place at linebacker with the departures of Al-Rasheed Benton and Xavier Preston. Tonkery has the move from outside linebacker to middle linebacker in place of Benton, and he is another player who added some weight since the position change since he’ll be

taking on more offensive lineman at middle linebacker. Long, another player who sat out this spring, has been recovering from a meniscus injury and will return to outside linebacker at the WILL spot. He is a proven difference maker on the field, racking up 75 total tackles and 3.5 sacks after missing the first four games of the season, including an 18-tackle game against Oklahoma State. Depth is a concern at linebacker right now with Quondarius Qualls and Brendan Ferns both going down with ACL injuries during the spring, but Benton, a junior college transfer from Butler Community College in Kansas, received more reps at SAM and looks to be the frontrunner at the position for now. “I like where (Tonkery) is at, I just think that is going to be his natural position and let him go get the football,” Gibson said. “With him and David (Long Jr.) I feel really good about those two. We need to

find one more guy at Sam and then we need to start building our depth.” Cornerbacks: Hakeem Bailey and Derrek Pitts The cornerback position is arguably the biggest question mark for West Virginia heading into summer and fall camp. Bailey, who started three games last season, has the most experience as of now playing the position and will likely be one of the starters. “For Hakeem (Bailey), I base everything that we do off competition,” cornerbacks coach Doug Belk said. “I want the guys to be consistent, so the expectations are high for him, but he has to win the job and continue to be successful every day and compete at a high level. If he does that, then he’ll be in a good position. If he doesn’t, all those other guys want to play, too.” Pitts made the move from safety to cornerback during

the offseason and has adjusted to the move. He saw playing time last season at safety and special teams and his ability to adapt and work hard may lead him to a starting role at cornerback. “He’s primarily focused on corner; he’s done a good job,” said safeties coach Matt Caponi. “We know that he’s a guy that played for us at safety last year, so if need be, if guys start getting dinged up, we can move him back there. But we have all the confidence in the world that no matter where he’s at on the field, he’s going to play hard and he’s going to do the right thing.” The Mountaineers have options with Michigan transfer Keith Washington and free safety Kenny Robinson, who started three games at cornerback last season. But this battle will likely be decided at the end of fall camp. Full Safety: Kenny Robinson SPUR Safety: Dravon Askew-Henry Bandit Safety: Toyous Avery

The Safety position looks to be in good hands with experience at all three roles. AskewHenry moved over to the SPUR safety spot during the offseason looks to be the favorite to win the job. The bandit spot also looks to be in good hands with Avery, but the key for both players for this upcoming season will be to stay healthy. Robinson looks like he may returning to play full safety full time, but there’s a strong chance he could play some more cornerback again if injuries occur. But if this occurs West Virginia has a solid backup option in Ohio State transfer Josh Norwood, who gained a reputation for being an aggressive player that plays bigger than what he is. “I would say I’m happy right now with our safeties. I like where they’re at,” defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said. “I think Dravon (Askew-Henry) is doing really well at SPUR, and Kenny (Robinson) and Josh Norwood are doing a good job at free safety. So, I like where those guys are at right now.”

WVU breezes by Canisius, 9-2, back at .500 BASEBALL BY PATRICK KOTNIK SPORTS EDITOR

All West Virginia wanted to do was play. The Mountaineers were scheduled to play on the road against rival Pitt Tuesday night, but the game was postponed due to inclement weather in the Pittsburgh area. On short notice, Canisius agreed to play West Virginia at Monongalia County Ballpark Wednesday afternoon. It marked the fourth time the two teams would face each other this season, the first three times coming in a three-game series which West Virginia won that took place from March 16-18 at Monongalia County Ballpark. “It’s just good we got to play,” said West Virginia head coach Randy Mazey. “Appreciate these guys coming down on short notice because they needed to play too. A lot of good things happened today, so…thankful that we got the game in.” Those good things added up to a 9-2 win for West Virginia (17-17) over Canisius (20-12) for the team’s third victory over the Golden Griffins this season. A strong evening at the bats helped carry the Mountaineers during the win as the team scored nine runs on nine hits in a game that saw West Virginia score multiple runs in three different innings, including a four-run seventh inning that put the game out of reach. West Virginia’s bats have emerged lately and that’s been shown with the hitting displays the Mountaineers put on. In the team’s past four games, including the win over Canisius Wednesday, West Virginia has racked up 44 total hits. Not having a game during the week could’ve proved costly according to Mazey. “We’re swinging the bat pretty well right now. We have been for the last eight or 10 games,” Mazey said. “When you’re swinging the bat well, you want to keep hitting and keep hitting and keep hitting, and if we wouldn’t have played today and got canceled yesterday, it can take a hot hitter and cool him off pretty quick.” The Mountaineers were led by sophomore outfielder Brandon White, redshirt sophomore first baseman Marques Inman and freshman Tyler Doanes. White and Doanes each had two hits and combined for three RBIs while Inman led the team with three RBIs. Doanes has stepped up

This includes his two-run RBI triple in the seventh inning of Wednesday night’s win. “He can hit, he can run, he can play defense,” Mazey said. “He’s going to be a really good player for us.” On the mound, West Vir-

ginia was led by another strong performance from sophomore right-handed pitcher Isaiah Kearns, who matched his career-high of eight strikeouts in four innings pitched Wednesday and allowed two runs on five hits. “(Kearns’) not a cold weather guy, (Kearns’) not an early morning guy. (Ke-

arns’) not an outgoing guy, but when the conditions are right, (Kearns’) pretty good,” Mazey said. “This was the best stuff he’s had this year, so that’s really encouraging that his slider was as good as it was.” The Mountaineers will now turn their attention to Kansas State, who they will host for a three-game series

this weekend starting at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Monongalia County Ballpark. Kansas State currently sits right behind West Virginia at last place in the conference, but Mazey knows the team cannot take the Wildcats lightly since this series is critical in helping the Mountaineers rise up in the conference rankings and RPI, which

will be key in making it back to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season. “This could be a make or break weekend for us,” Mazey said. “That’s the importance of it. We have a good weekend, we can get right back into the mix in the Big 12. We have a bad weekend, then it’s going to be a big time uphill battle.”

Tim Flynn, new WVU wrestling head coach

Flynn offically introduced as WVU’s head wrestling coach WRESTLING BY JOHN LOWE

ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR The West Virginia University wrestling program turned a corner last week, hiring longtime Edinboro head coach Tim Flynn. Flynn was officially introduced as the new Mountaineers’ head coach in a press conference on Wednesday. “West Virginia checks all of the boxes as far as trying to build a powerhouse wrestling program, but the single most important thing to me are the people,” Flynn said in his opening statement. “The people in this room just made it so much easier to say goodbye to Edinboro. I’m happy to be here; I think we can do great things here. I’ve already mentioned the people — the people make the place. Obviously, the facilities, the school and academic side is awesome here, but the biggest selling point that we have here, I think, is the peo-

“I think to be really successful in wrestling, you need a bigger school in a power-five conference.” - Tim Flynn, WVU wrestling head coach ple that are here. I want to thank everybody that was a part of that and spent time with me during the process.” Flynn already hired two assistants in Cliff Moore, a longtime assistant with him at Edinboro, and Mitchell Port, an All-American during Flynn’s tenure at Edinboro. As far as looking forward, I’m excited,” Flynn said. “We’re in the Big 12. We’re in a great hotbed of wrestling. I think the sky is the limit. We just need to rally the troops. It’s not a one-man show; I have Cliff Moore, who decided to come with me, and Mitchell Port. A lot of people ask me, ‘Why did you want to bring them?’ It’s the same thing that I’ve been saying — when you have quality peo-

ple around you, then you can do great things.” Flynn believes the framework for creating a power wrestling program is already here in Morgantown. “I think to be really successful in wrestling, you need a bigger school in a power-five conference,” Flynn said. “Certainly, that’s one. You need the facility, and if any of you have been in a wrestling facility, it’s stateof-the-art, it’s top of the food chain. So, those are two big boxes. The academic piece, there’s so many majors to sell here. That’s a big part of it. The alumni base is there, certainly, that we can go out and rally those guys. Those are a couple of the major ones.”
