A look into the lives of WVU student-athletes
A LOOK INSIDE
BY JOHN LOWE AND COLE MCCLANAHAN SPORTS STAFF
One of the many opportunities over the course of Diversity Week at WVU was Tuesday’s “Truth: No Fluff ” student-athlete panel. Many topics were covered, including some student-athletes’ relationship with the state of West Virginia. “This place has really become special to me,” said Darius Hill, who represented the baseball team. Being a student-athlete vs. being a regular student Many student-athletes commented on the more adverse conditions that they go through as they go through their typical day. Katrina Pardee, who represented the women’s basketball team, said student-athletes are held to a higher standard off the court and in the classroom. “Everywhere we go there’s someone watching,” Pardee said. Hill said student athletes are under a microscope. Student-athletes aren’t just under a microscope on campus, they’re under a microscope in class. “A lot of people think athletes don’t go to class, but that couldn’t be further from the truth,” said Jake Armstrong, who represented the swimming and diving team.

The effect of social media Athletes, like any other public figure, are under significantly more scrutiny if their performance does not meet expectation. Chase Harler, who represented the men’s basketball team, mentioned that he searches his name on Twitter after every game, but tries not to respond to comments because he doesn’t want to start a public “back and forth.” “If you read everything and take it to heart, there’s no way you’ll survive,” Harler said.
Naomi Davenport, who represented the women’s basketball team, also mentioned that student-athletes can’t tweet or post anything on social media when they attend parties. Injuries Injuries are a part of sports. It happens to someone or some team no matter what. When a player gets injured, it doesn’t just affect the player, it affects the whole chemistry of the team. “As hard as it is for the injured
person, it’s harder for the person that has to step up,” Davenport said. When a player suffers a career-ending injury, it could be very telling about how supportive people around them really are. “As soon as I got injured, all those people disappeared. You see who are your real friends or real family,” said Rob Dowdy, who represented the football team. “To figure out what life is after sports was a rude awakening. It’s kind of nice not hurting every day.” Tynice Martin, who represented the women’s basketball team, and Bianca St. Georges, who represented the women’s soccer team, were also present during the panel.

WVU awarded nearly $1 million federal grant for campus child care BY JOE SEVERINO NEWS EDITOR WVU was awarded close to $1 million from a federal grant on Monday that helps fund on-campus child care for low-income student parents. The University secured $980,000 from the Child Care Ac-
cess Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) grant, nearly nine times more funding than WVU was issued in the last cycle in 2014, according to the Student Family Resource Office. CCAMPIS funding was directed to and distributed by the Student Child Care Assistance Program (SCCAP) under the Student Family Resource Office. SCCAP was elim-
inated by WVU in June. The office said WVU will receive $980,000 over a four year project period beginning Oct. 1 and ending on Sept. 30, 2022. This grant does not require any funding from the University. Dean of Students Corey Farris said last month SCCAP was cut because WVU did not secure the CCAMPIS grant in 2017, making
the University totally fund the program last year. However, U.S. Congress more than tripled CCAMPIS’ funding in March, increasing the total funding of the grant from $15 million to $50 million. But, now that WVU does not have a program to oversee the distribution of the grant, it is unclear what will happen to the near $1 million.

NEWS WVU Alumni Band continues Homecoming tradition BY KAYLA GAGNON STAFF WRITER
The WVU Alumni Marching Band will be giving its 49th Homecoming game performance on Saturday at the football game against Kansas. The organization, which now has 1,400 members, was created in 1969 by former band members who wanted to play together again. The band has performed in the Pittsburgh St. Patrick’s Day Parade and embarked on a European tour in the last year. “To me, being a part of the Pride was more than being in the band. It was more like being part of a family,” said Mary Lechliter, president of the Alumni Band. “Having the Alumni Band means having a family reunion, and you get to meet some new family every year.” The WVU Alumni Band will perform before the Pride of West Virginia on Saturday, then rejoin the Pride to perform the Alma Mater and national anthem. “In high school, you get made fun of for being in the band,” Lechliter said. “[After] coming to WVU, you aren’t made fun of. Everyone thinks it’s so cool that you’re in the band.” David O’Neal, a trumpet player in the Alumni Band, recalled the bonds formed in the Pride during practices and the long hours spent in the stadium on gamedays. “It was like being in a war, and you’re meeting up with your war buddies years later to reminisce and to hear about other people’s time,” O’Neal said. O’Neal also pointed out the uniqueness of the band through its annual performance in Morgantown during Homecoming. “We’re a very unique group. You don’t see a lot of teams get back together every year after they graduate, so that makes it special,” he said. Angelia Barnett, a clarinet player and vice president of the Alumni Band, mentioned the emotional aspects of being back in Morgantown. “You want to go back because that love is there, it’s so intense that you never want to

Disassociated fraternities may soon be required to pay property taxes BY ALAYNA FULLER STAFF WRITER

The five dissociated and suspended fraternities at WVU may soon be subject to property taxation. Monongalia County Commission President Tom Bloom posted to Facebook last week that he has requested the County Assessor’s Office to look over state code and determine if disassociated fraternities will soon be charged property taxes. Bloom quoted West Virginia State Code, saying property taxes are exempt from real estate that is up to one acre and are used exclusively by a fraternity
or sorority affiliated with a university. But since Alpha Sigma Phi, Kappa Alpha, Phi Sigma Kappa, Sigma Chi and Theta Chi are now unaffiliated with WVU and are forming their own Independent Fraternity Council, their houses may now be subject to property taxation from the county. Bloom declined to comment further. Jesse Lyons, assistant executive director for advancement and editor of The Kappa Alpha Journal, said Kappa Alpha’s national office is aware of the matter and is looking into it but provided no further comment.

It stays with you, just like riding a bike,” she said. In addition to Saturday’s game, the Alumni Band will be performing in the Homecoming Parade this Friday at 6:30 p.m.
The WVU Student Government Association announced the winners of the college representative elections Wednesday night. Each of the nine colleges on campus are allowed two representatives. The elected representatives and their colleges are as follows: • Eberly College of Arts and Sciences: Stephanie Buggs and Marley Nash • Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design: Joy Mills and Thaiddeus Dillie • College of Business and Economics: Tyler Knight and Maria Lombardi • College of Creative
Arts: Rowan Jalso • Health Sciences : Jana Hatfield and Justin Williams • College of Education and Human Services: Abigail Doran and Caroline Evans • Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources: Nick Shoemaker and Makenna Slack • College of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences: Halley Altieri (write-in) The Reed College of Media did not have a representative elected. The College of Law’s request of having representatives for their college was approved, giving it two representatives in future elections.

Farris said Wednesday that since the federal government has not yet sent WVU a letter fully detailing the amount or extent of the grant, he does not know how the funding will be used. “The most I know is we received the grant. I heard that earlier today but it was just a very brief email that said we got the grant,” Farris said. “I suspect there’s some more things that we have to do until we get the money in hand.” Student Family Resource Director Leslie Haning said Wednesday that CCAMPIS recipients must issue an
annual report to the U.S. Department of Education on the distribution of the grant at WVU and the services the University has been able to offer with it. “[In] our last CCAMPIS annual report, we had 96 students receiving child care support directly from federal funds alone. Unlimited students, faculty, staff, community members benefit from Family Resources made available to all,” she said. “No eligible student parent who has applied for CCAMPIS has been turned away since the program started.”

Visibility and empowerment highlighted during annual luncheon BY OLIVIA GIANETTINO CORRESPONDENT
The Women of Color Luncheon was an empowering celebration of diversity among students and faculty. Every year, the luncheon is popular; tickets for the event sold out in less than a month. The WVU Council of Women’s Concerns has put on the luncheon for the last 31 years. In those 31 years, the nation’s values and the definition of diversity have immensely evolved; the University has done its best to keep up the times. WVU faculty are constantly analyzing the school’s ethics and making changes when they “fall short,” vice chair of the Council for Women’s Concerns Dr. Melanie Page said.
This year’s theme was “Our Voices Together.” Speakers and entertainers represented the visibility of diverse women through spoken word and powerful messages of strength. “It does take voices of many and our voices together to make [a] change,” Kisstaman Epps, the chair for the Council for Women’s Concern, said before she read an inspiring original poem. “Our voices together – determined not to be defeated, but to step up and answer the call, period,” Epps ended her spoken word mimicking the “period” in former First Lady Michelle Obama’s most recent speech. This shows how women in positions of high power are impacting others to use their voice. Later in the program, Ifeoma Ike Esq. gave a keynote speech in the same powerful
tone. Ike is an activist and cofounder of Think Rubix, a social impact firm that focuses on creative problem solving through politics. Representatives from Title IX, deans of various colleges and President E. Gordon Gee were also in attendance. “Voices of women at the University have become extremely powerful,” Gee said during his remarks. He explained that the University is always making efforts to create a racially diverse, LGBTQ+ friendly environment. “It is not a gathering,” Gee said. “It is an affirmation of who we are.” With 415 women and men filling the ballroom, the event was a perfect representation of what diversity means.

Evansdale Library hosts ‘Living with Culture Shock’ for Diversity Week BY STEPHANIE GOLDEN STAFF WRITER
Five students came together to tell their stories of experiencing different cultures during a Diversity Week panel on Tuesday. Faisal Husain is a senior nutrition and food science student from England. On the topic of food, he said he loves ramps, but the strangest food he’s had so far is the Pawpaw fruit, which is unique to Appalachia. Husain said his biggest struggle of coming to a new country was transportation and noted he was used to being able to walk everywhere. He said he got stuck on his first PRT ride here. Husain also found it odd to be in classes not directly related to his major here in the United States and is not a fan of the emphasis and pressure put on getting an A here in the United States. He thinks the stress of striving for an A can be distracting from actually comprehending the material as compared to England where it is more of a pass/fail system. Christina Murray, a junior political science student from WVU, spent a year in Jordan. She found it strange how much corn they ate there. Murray talked about the
challenges of picking up on all of the different dialects of Arabic in Jordan. She struggled during the first half of her study-abroad because she had been learning the formal version of Arabic, while most people in Jordan spoke in colloquial versions. It became much easier for her to communicate once she studied different dialects. While in Jordan, Murray missed simple things like her favorite bookstores, coffee shops and restaurants. One notable difference between Jordan and the U.S. is everyone has the choice and opportunity to go to college in the U.S., but in Jordan, students take a test during their senior year that determines if they are eligible to go to college. However, since the country is very poor, many students choose not to take the test because they are responsible to provide for their families. Fariborz Taherkhani, a Ph.D. student from Iran studying computer science, said in the United States, the food is much sweeter. In Iran, most sweet food is served at breakfast. Taherkhani said that he was initially very shy when he came to the United States. During his two years of studying in Wisconsin, his host family became his close friends and helped him gain confidence when speaking

Taherkhani said getting an A in the United States is significantly easier than in other places. He said getting good grades here is “so easy” and that the “GPA in U.S. schools is too high.” Despite this criticism, he thinks the quality of research here is outstanding. Adam Craig, a sophomore International Studies student from West Virginia, studied in Oman. In Oman, there was a dessert called Halwa that he could not bring him-
self to like, despite everyone else loving it. He struggled there as a vegetarian because many Omani dishes are meat-based. It was difficult for him to express basic needs and carry on conversation while there because he has just one year of Arabic experience. Craig missed the availability of water during his time in Oman and missed being able to take long showers. He realized he, along with others on the trip, had taken “just being able to walk to the tap
and get a glass of water” for granted. He also struggled with not being able to discuss taboo topics such as politics because Oman operates under a total monarchy. Minou Khayam is a masters electrical engineering student originally from Iran. She said she misses the desert nights from home but appreciates the different kind of beauty that West Virginia provides. She also loves all of the local hiking trails. The panel was led by Beth Royall, the creative arts li-
Culture shock can be defined as the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone who is suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture, way of life or set of attitudes. This was the topic the Evansdale Library chose to emphasize at its Diversity Week event on Tuesday. The event featured three international students and two students who studied abroad.

Tell me a little bit about yourself: What’s your name, where are you from, what’s your major, etc.? My name is Joseph Mahiya. I am a sophomore double major in computer science and mathematics, and I am from Zimbabwe. I am also a resident assistant (RA) in Towers and a member of the African Student Association (ASA). What brought you to WVU? How long have you been living here? I got a scholarship to come to WVU, so that’s the main reason. I didn’t even know about WVU until like two years ago. It’s like most people don’t even know about WVU, they ask me ‘Why did you come all the way from Zimbabwe?,’ but the main reason why was the scholarship. The name of the scholarship is the Mastercard Foundation scholarship. What do you think of the University? What about Morgantown as a whole? It’s really good, I love the atmosphere here. There’s something about everyone having school spirit everywhere you go. There’s always someone wearing some kind of WVU shirt or hat or something. I’m actually an RA so you know I actually like this place. This school, the people like to have fun which is nice, but when it’s
time for serious studies, people are serious. When it’s time for fun, people are nice to me. So, I like this school. I like the football, the place is awesome. Do you feel as though you belong and are welcome here? Why or why not? To be honest, when I came here I did not have any friends, but as soon as I entered the dorms and introduced myself everyone was nice and asked me questions; I really like questions asking me where I’m from and what it’s like to live in Zimbabwe. I made my best friends on the first day, but I’ve never felt like I don’t belong here. For the most part, everyone is nice and I feel like I belong. Why did you choose to be involved with the African Student Association? First of all, I wanted an organization to join, and second of all, I wanted to find people from Africa to meet and share experiences with. In WVU, it’s different when you actually have shared experiences; it’s like seeing someone from your hometown. That’s the reason I joined the ASA as well. There are extracurricular activities that we do, and there are so many different people from different ethnicities, like from Nigeria. You get to see them and learn about them. Finally, I wanted to help make our voices be heard on campus because we take pride in this organization. Do you feel your organi-

From the West Virginia hills to Capitol Hill: Mountaineers Vote SUBMITTED BY GEORGIA BEATTY LOCAL GOVERNANCE LIAISON FOR WVU SGA
Red and blue stripes stretching across a white plane. Your chest reads “I Voted” and you have never felt more alive. Exhilarated. Content. Dutiful. Perhaps this is an overly romanticized portrait of a completely mundane act of patriotism. Perhaps it isn’t. It is the reason I registered to vote in the winter of 2016. At 17 years old, I barely met the age cutoff, but my longsince envisioned dream of enacting civic responsibility led me to that registration form. It led me to several political rallies throughout election season. It led me to a partnership with In-
spire West Virginia my senior year of high school—a mission to register as many Weir High School students as possible. It led me to own my polling place. It led me here. Though I do not stand alone, I stand at the helm of the WVU Student Government Association’s voter registration initiative. Civic engagement is a pillar of SGA President Isaac Obioma and Vice President Abbi Yachini’s administration, and I am honored to be carrying it forward. But I do not do so blindly. My sauntering up to the voting precinct was done so out of concern for all the issues I saw, and still see, persisting in our government from the West Virginia hills all the way to Capitol Hill. I’ll
spare you the details of my opinions and passion projects because they simply hold no place in the context here, but the theme holds: everyone has them. Everyone has something they wish would ricochet through congressional chambers and through the minds of legislators. And so we are here. I am moved by the numbers. According to MetroNews in 2016, McDowell County, West Virginia experienced a voter turnout of around 36 percent. A total of 6,300 out of nearly 17,500 registered voters made it to the polls. These numbers are low, and incredibly so compared to those of the national scene where, according to Inspire WV, only two in every 10 people from 18 to 25 years old votes.
This brings a jarring reality to striped stickers and registration papers. Decisions that are made for the people should be influenced by the people. And so we must recognize our civic responsibility. We must act upon it, whatever our opinions may be and however they have been cultivated. All Mountaineers, regardless of their political affiliation or the future they foresee for our state and our nation, can register to vote this week. Find us Oct. 4-5 and 8-9 at the Mountainlair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and at Café Evansdale from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Civic Action student organization fair, too, will occur Oct. 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Mountainlair Green. You have a voice. Make sure it’s heard.

Women’s soccer hopes to continue winning ways at Baylor BY JARED SERRE SPORTS WRITER
WOMEN’S SOCCER After opening Big 12 Conference play with three straight wins, the WVU women’s soccer team hopes to continue their winning streak when they take on the No. 24 Baylor Bears on Friday. Since joining the Big 12 in 2012, the Mountaineers (72-3, 3-0 Big 12) have never been defeated by Baylor (82-2, 2-1). While history is on their side, head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown doesn’t want to get arrogant. “They have three players that have been putting lots of numbers up,” Izzo-Brown said about the Bears. “We know Baylor is a very difficult team. Obviously, they’re a Big 12 Tournament champ and Elite Eight team. Having an opportunity to play a great team like Baylor is exciting for us.” In addition to being the historically better team, the
Mountaineers quite possibly may have the upper hand in recent success as well. Although Baylor was the Big 12 champion last season, the Mountaineers have been more prosperous as of late. After defeating the Kansas State Wildcats this past Friday, the Mountaineers have won six straight matches. Baylor, on the other hand, only has a win streak of two. While Baylor finished non-conference play with a better record than WVU, the Mountaineers counter with the Big 12’s overall top record in conference play. “I think those experiences are hugely important for us,” Izzo-Brown said about having played different styles of teams during non-conference play. She emphasized that, other than in the win column, playing the non-conference schedule provided victories in that it allowed the team to better prepare for what would be thrown at them during conference play. The Mountaineers’ recent
success has also elevated them in the polls. The United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division 1 Women’s National Poll currently lists the Mountaineers at No. 16—a 10 spot jump from the previous week. Baylor sits at No. 24. One key factor to helping the Mountaineers achieve the current ranking is junior goalkeeper Rylee Foster. Called the “fourth coach on the field” by Izzo-Brown, Foster has helped to shut out the Mountaineers’ last five opponents. “It’s so important for our team to not only win but win with a shutout,” Izzo-Brown said. “We take great pride with not only winning, but making sure we get the shutout on the other side of things. Going into all of these conference games right now, that’s the goal and we’re looking forward to a big game against Baylor.”

FOOTBALL West Virginia escaped Lubbock last weekend with a 4234 win against Texas Tech. A 28-point first quarter propelled the Mountaineers to a victory on Saturday, but a lackluster second, third and fourth quarters almost lost the game for Dana Holgorsen’s team. WVU returns home against a Kansas Jayhawks side that looks much improved from the past few seasons. Kansas is 2-3 (0-2 Big 12) and picked up its first road victory in 46 tries in the second week in a 31-7 victory over Central Michigan. Senior quarterback Peyton Bender is the leading passer for the Jayhawks, throwing overall for 490 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. KU head coach David Beaty changed quarterbacks last weekend against Oklahoma State when Carter Stanley got the nod under center. He went 24-32 for 247 yards and three touchdowns in what would end up being an Oklahoma State win, 48-28. Stanley has 289 yards on the season with three touchdowns, all coming against the Cowboys. Kansas’ strong suit on offense is the ground game. Freshman running back Pooka Williams Jr. is the Jayhawks’ feature back. On 60 carries in four games (he did not play in KU’s season-opening loss to Nicholls State), he has run for 474 yards.

Kansas quarterback Carter Stanley (9) throws a pass during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Oklahoma State in Lawrence, Kansas, Saturday, Sept. 29, 2018. Against Central Michigan, he ran for 125 yards and two scores. The next week, against Rutgers, he one-upped himself. Williams rushed for 163 yards and one touchdown. He averaged 8.6 yards per carry. WVU’s run defense allows 150.8 yards per game. Williams, who has totaled 186 yards in the last two weeks, along with Khalil Herbert (who gashed the Mountaineers for 291 yards last season), could be tough to contain for David Long, Ezekiel Rose, Kenny Bigelow and Co. KU’s offense only passes for 175.8 yards per game, and
WVU allows 218.5 passing yards per game. The Jayhawks’ leading receiver is Steven Sims Jr. He has 23 catches and 217 yards on the season to go with just two touchdowns. Next is Kerr Johnson Jr. with 192 yards and two touchdowns, to match Sims. The defense for Kansas may not be enough to keep KU in the game going against WVU’s offense. The Jayhawks offense does not seem to have the firepower to match West Virginia score for score and Tony Gibson’s defense should continue to get into the backfield and
put pressure on the running backs and quarterback. For the first half of the game, the Mountaineer defense will be without starting cornerback Josh Norwood. Norwood was called for targeting and was ejected in the third quarter of the Texas Tech game. Because of his ejection, the Ohio State transfer will be forced to miss the first two quarters. Kickoff at Milan Puskar Stadium between KU and WVU is scheduled for noon on Saturday. West Virginia is favored by 29 points, according to Odds Shark.

Q&A with University Daily Kansan sports editor Braden Shaw BY JOHN LOWE SPORTS EDITOR
FOOTBALL With a 42-34 win over then-No. 25 Texas Tech on Saturday, the WVU football team moved on to a 4-0 record on the season. While the Mountaineers are looking pretty good as they continue conference play, it’s important for fans not to take a break from scouting out opponents for the next few games. We had a talk with Braden Shaw, the sports editor of Kansas’ student newspaper, the University Daily Kansan, about Saturday’s game. Who will win on Saturday and why? Kansas limps into this match-up, coming off backto-back losses to open con-
ference play. The Jayhawks are also looking for their first Big 12 win since 2016 when Kansas upset Texas on senior night. However, I don’t see that drought ending on Saturday. West Virginia is No. 9 for a reason, led by Heisman frontrunner quarterback Will Grier. WVU takes this one 56-28. What are Kansas’ strengths? The strengths of this Jayhawk team comes from the rushing attack, led by freshman Pooka Williams Jr., who averages 118.5 rushing yards a game, totaling 474 yards on the season thus far. Williams has also rushed for over 100 yards in two of his four games, including a 97-yard performance last week against Baylor. Along with his rushing totals, Williams is the No. 2-rated running back in the country, according to Pro Football
Focus. Also, the defense has been a surprising strength this season, led by 2017 Second Team All-American senior linebacker Joe Dineen, Jr. Dineen leads the team once again in tackles with 66 on the season. However, the secondary has also been a standout this season, currently sitting at second in the Big 12 in interceptions (eight). What are Kansas’ weaknesses? The quarterback position has been an issue all season, with coach David Beaty switching out who’s under center frequently. Senior Peyton Bender started the first four games, with transfer sophomore Miles Kendrick coming in for a change of pace during each game. However, junior Carter Stanley — who started that 2016 game against
Texas as a freshman — started last week against Oklahoma State. Stanley will get the start once again against West Virginia this weekend, but the uncertainty and inconsistent play is a cause of concern with the QB position. Also, as much as the defense made plays through the first three weeks, in Big 12 play they have been exposed, most notably against quarterback Taylor Cornelius and Oklahoma State. That will be something to watch to see how aggressive Kansas plays against Grier. Is there more of a buzz (or optimism) surrounding the football team on campus after wins over Central Michigan and Rutgers? There actually was a running joke around campus that Kansas was a “football school” now after the Jayhawks sat at
2-1. I even said that if Kansas could beat Baylor, the path to a bowl game was in sight were the team to reach 3-1. Of course, that didn’t pan out. Now sitting at 2-3, the optimism has pretty much faded and many are just waiting to see if Kansas will win another game this season. What do you think of K-State’s performance this year and can Kansas beat them on Nov. 10? Kansas State has definitely struggled this year, especially with its quarterback situation. Both sophomore Skylar Thompson and junior Alex Delton have received snaps in all five games this season, with mixed results from both. Thompson has been “the guy” this season, with 601 passing yards, four touchdowns and one interception on the season. Nonetheless, coach
Bill Snyder continues to utilize Delton, who has thrown for just 273 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. However, that play hasn’t necessarily led to wins, with the Wildcats also sitting at 2-3 on the season. It always seems that the Wildcats are the better football school in Kansas, rightfully so, as Snyder has led the team to numerous years of success. But this year is different, as Kansas State has lowly victories over FCS side South Dakota and UTSA, not exactly powerhouses. With both the Jayhawks and Wildcats struggling in Big 12 play, the Sunflower Showdown will be close. If Kansas can get some of that early season momentum back, I fully believe that not only can Kansas compete on Nov. 10, but the Jayhawks can steal a win in Manhattan this season.
