President Gee speaks on tuition, campus carry, Greek life BY JOE SEVERINO

New Appalachian Studies minor oﬀers students opportunities to understand and appreciate Appalachian culture

NEWS EDITOR

BY RACHEL JOHNSON

WVU President E. Gordon Gee discussed next year’s tuition, campus carry and the Spruce Street snow day riot among other issues in an interview with the DA staff on Thursday. Tuition Gee said because the legislature did not make cuts to higher education funding, he thinks if there are any tuition hikes at all, he expects the increases to be “very moderate” ones. “I think with the stability of our budget, I think the expectation would be that if there is any, it will be very, very modest,” Gee said. Last year, WVU upped tuition 5.7 percent after cuts were made to the state’s total higher education funding. Average tuition for West Virginia residents this year was $4,428 per semester and $12,480 per semester for out-of-state students. Campus Carry WVU spent a good chunk of January and February preparing for the increasing probability of campus carry being passed into law, allowing any person with a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon on campus. The University and Gee have long been opposed to campus carry being enacted at the state level, asking that WVU have “local control” on the issue. Ultimately, the bill never made it to the governor’s desk. It passed the House of Delegates, but was eventually struck down in the Senate Judiciary Committee just a few days before the 60-day session ended.

President Gee lounges at the DA. Gee said for him, this legislative session in particular was one of the most difficult to navigate due to this bill, along with funding and the organization of higher education. “I think in many ways it was the most challenging that I’ve been through in a long time,” he said. “We did very well; it’s just that there were a lot of moving parts.” As for next year, Gee said he sees one of two things happening with campus carry: either the supporters of the bill run it again without negotiating exemptions with WVU, or they’ll just wait until the 2020 session again in hopes to put Republican legislators on the record about it during an election year. “Now, there’s a theory that it may not come back next year because it’s a non-election year, and maybe those who want to have it passed will pass on having it come up because they want to punish who vote against it this year, then they can go after them in the following year,”

he said. “So, I hope that that’s not the case. “People in political life are afraid of being labeled, or afraid of having someone run further to the right than them, and I think that’s probably where it is,” he added. He said WVU’s approach next year will be a little different than this year’s. “I think our strategy will be a pretty clever one,” Gee said. “We’ll just, between now and then – I’m going talk about it a lot, I’m going to get other people to talk about it a lot, rather than us being sort of quiet and hoping it won’t come up.” “I think we have to be prepared by very aggressively explaining why we don’t think it’s good because, as I say, I doubt if we’ll be able to negotiate exemptions next year,” he added. But he did say that WVU will work toward getting more exemptions in residence halls if the bill comes up again.

WVU students will now have the opportunity to focus their studies on the rich culture of the Appalachian region through the new Appalachian Studies minor set for the Fall 2019 semester. Any undergraduate student on the Morgantown campus is eligible to enroll. Travis Stimeling, an associate professor of musicology at WVU, is spearheading the minor. “An Appalachian studies minor, especially the way we’ve designed it, is intended to help students have a deeper appreciation and understanding of the ways that people in Appalachia live, work, think and address problems,” Stimeling said. According to Stimeling, WVU had previously offered a major in Appalachian Studies but it is no longer available. Currently, WVU offers classes focusing on Appalachia and a minor in Appalachian music. Stimeling said the minor “is about a connection to place”. “Our hope is that students will approach this minor from lots of different majors and take courses in Appalachian culture, Appalachian history, Appalachian sociology and social sciences, and Appalachian sciences as a way to connect their work to this place,” Stimeling said. A student can either decide they are pursuing the minor and then take the necessary courses, or can decide to declare the minor after taking a few courses within the minor. Stimeling said he has many goals in mind for the minor, one being that students can see there is a need for

The following courses will be oﬀered as part of the Appalachian Studies minor: • BIOL 318: Writing Appalachian Ecology • BIOL 353: Flora of West Virginia • ENGL 252: Appalachian Fiction • ENGL 238: Literature of Place • ENGL 251: American Folklore and Culture • ENGL 329: Topics in English Literature • ENGL 351: Folk Literature • ENGL 352: Topics in Appalachian Studies • HIST 250: West Virginia • HIST 473: Appalachian Regional History • MUSC 118: Music in Appalachia • MUSC 363: Appalachian Music Ensemble • POLS 321: West Virginia Government • SOCA 323: Sociology of Rural Life • WGST 225: Women in Appalachia them in Appalachia. He also hopes to help students see how they connect their knowledge and expertise to problems and challenges that West Virginians currently face. “Twenty years from now we’ll look back, hopefully, and go, ‘Oh, that minor was really good in drawing people back into our state or keeping them committed and helping to improve a lot of things around here,’” Stimeling said. Stimeling also hopes more courses with a focus on Appalachia will be offered as the minor grows. “This minor will flourish when there’s a diversity of people involved in it.” Anyone interested in pursuing the minor should contact Stimeling at travis.stimeling@mail.wvu.edu.

Harrison County Secession Poll How did your ancestors vote on whether or not to secede from the Union at the start of the Civil War? This document records the votes of Clarksburg residents on May 23, 1861, on whether Virginia, which included all of West Virginia at the time, should secede. A vote in favor of the amendment was a vote for secession. The amendment passed 125,950 to 20,373 with many of the no votes coming from the north and west parts of the state which are now West Virginia. Citizens in those areas had already elected pro-union leaders and would soon breakaway from Virginia to form a new state. An editorial in the Staunton Vindicator said a no vote on the secession of Virginia “will be regarded as an endorsement of Lincoln’s policy to overrun and devastate our homes and heritage and make Virginia the booty of a hireling

soldiery.” In Wheeling, the Daily Intelligencer countered: “It is of great importance that the Union column be swelled to overshadowing dimensions. Let the demonstration in favor of liberty and democracy and constitutional government be so strong and so overpowering that the hideous rattlesnake will never show its head hereafter within our borders.” Voters in Ohio County, of which Wheeling was the county seat, rejected secession by 3,368 to 157.

McConnell highlights research, academic programs during time at WVU BY GABRIELLA BROWN STAFF WRITER After more than 23 years of dedication to West Virginia University, Provost Joyce McConnell may soon be leaving for the president’s position at Colorado State University after being named the finalist for the position earlier this month. In an interview with the DA on Friday, McConnell reflected on some of her most notable achievements at the University. McConnell will become CSU’s president pending approval of its governing board. During her time in Morgantown, McConnell said she has seen the University and its students achieve great things, one being the school’s commitment to research. “It is very unusual for a university to have undergraduates engaged in research, and we have made those opportunities available to our undergraduates because we think it is very important for them to build an area of expertise and an area of interest,” McConnell said. “Our research focuses on solving West Virginia’s problems, the nation’s problems, and the world problems, and that is what is so ex-

Gee cont. from p.1 “I think that the one exemption we didn’t get is we didn’t get exemptions in all the residence halls,” he said. “We got them in the open spaces of the residence halls, but not in the rooms. I think that would be one of the things.” “I think we’ll have no choice but to go at it in a direct, noholds barred way,” Gee said. “I think that the notion of playing a parallel process probably is beyond our capacity now. We tried it once, and I think it was the right thing to do, I’m not defensive about that, I just think that next year, that the likelihood of us being able to negotiate in a straightforward way over any of these kinds of issues, it’s going to be... They’re going to be mad that they lost, and we’re going to be mad we have to try it again.” Spruce Street snow day When asked about the Feb.

However, McConnell said not only has WVU remained at R-1 status since 2016, but it has also increased research productivity. Alongside becoming an R-1 recognized university, McConnell said another great accomplishment during her time as

provost was the establishment of the IDEA Hub, which in collaboration with the LaunchLab network, gives opportunities for young entrepreneurs to collaborate with faculty to bring their ideas to life. McConnell said what makes the IDEA Hub unique is it is not tailored to any specific major. All students are welcome to participate and share their ideas. “One thing that really stands

out in terms of serving all students on campus is the innovation and entrepreneurship program,” she said. “It’s actually university-wide and anyone can take advantage of it.” The list goes on when it comes to the contributions McConnell has made to the University, many of which reflect McConnell’s devotion to inclusivity and integration on campus. As provost, McConnell im-

1 snow day festivities on Spruce Street, Gee said, “Students come to universities to have opportunities, and we should not be about preventing fun. We should be about making certain that danger doesn’t occur.” Gee said he was away while the incident was happening, but as he watched online, he said he was unhappy with how it escalated so quickly. “I am a great believer in our own police department, I think that they do a great job, because in many ways, they are trained to be both mother and father and psychiatrist, they understand we’re dealing with 18, 19 and 20 year olds in most of these circumstances, but sometimes I’m afraid we go to DEFCON 1, if you know what I mean,” he said. “I just felt that was probably over the top.” However, he said he wants to be fair to the Morgantown Police Department and respect its protocols.

Gee did leave the door open for other ways students could gather and have fun on days off in the winter, as long as everyone stays safe. “Maybe we have to create ways when we have snow days for everyone to go to the big hills out back, and everyone would go [sled],” he said.

way WVU handles investigations into these incidents needs to be “critically examined.” Gee said he and Buggs have spoken since, and these issues were discussed. But he disagreed that WVU did not handle the situation well. He pointed to WVU’s meeting with Alpha Phi members and parents with WVU Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Meshea Poore, where the incident was discussed and a resolution was made. “That was an unfortunate incident, and I don’t just say that lightly,” he said. “Vice President Poore met with the 110, 115 women in Alpha Phi, they had a conversation, they understood what the issue was, and I think that both Alpha Phi and the University handled it well, and I think the NAACP is hopeful that those kind of responses and conversations continue.”

Alpha Phi/NAACP On March 2, the DA published photos of a baby doll with a blackened face hanging from the ceiling of the Alpha Phi sorority house. WVU deemed the incident “not one of intended black face,” but required members to attend various trainings and participate in community service throughout the semester. WVU’s NAACP chapter, however, released a letter later that week calling on WVU to implement “real change to prevent this from happening again.” WVU NAACP’s President Stephanie Buggs wrote that the

plemented Adventure West Virginia, a week-long outdoor program with the mission of helping to help incoming students’ transition, as well as the establishment of the Office of Global Affairs to help integrate international students. She said she also created the LGBTQ+ Center in order to help all students, faculty and staff feel welcome on campus. Although McConnell has done a lot for WVU, she said the University has impacted her life equally as much. “It is the place in my life that I have lived the longest, even longer than the place I grew up,” McConnell said. “The University has transformed me into someone who is creative and innovative and has found a way to always be authentic which is a very important thing.” As McConnell may soon take the next big step in her career, she said WVU will always have a special place in her heart. “I want to thank students, faculty, staff, all of the deans and all of our supporters for making this the most special flagship land-grant research university in the country,” McConnell said. “WVU has the most extraordinary people and I have loved working with them.”

Greek life Although it’s been a relatively quiet semester for fraternities, Gee said the safety of the students in the Independent Interfraternity Council (IIFC) is still a main concern for him. He said the dissociation of five fraternities, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Chi, Phi Sigma Kappa, Theta Chi and Alpha Sigma Phi, was partially to blame on the “adults” steering the students away from the University. He said the national organizations, the Greek housing corporations and the owners of the fraternity houses need students to fill the rooms and pay dues. “The national fraternities are very opposed to deferred recruitment,” he said. “And the reason is because they’re afraid because if they recruited in their second semester, then they won’t [have] enough to fill up their houses next semester. So, it’s a money issue, and I hate characterizing it that way, be-

cause I think that there are lot more subtle reasons, but I do believe that we are doing the right thing, and the reason I believe that is the fact that we did at Ohio State very successfully we actually moved recruitment at Vanderbilt to the second year, very successfully, and so this is not a figment of my imagination, the data [is] very clear.” “But the adults who are controlling a lot of it say that’s against what we want to do so they put pressure on the young men,” he said. As for the recruitment process next year, Gee said it is a little too early to say, but he felt the pilot program WVU implemented this year for freshmen pledges was a way to be fair to the Greek life organizations that stayed with the University.

The Nile flows into Morgantown: Tastes from Cairo 2 Go

BY RYAN MAIDEN FOOD CRITIC

When you want Chinese, you get Chinese. When you want Italian, you get Italian. Egyptian food, however, has not yet reached that level of fame where a hungry crowd will think to themselves, “I want Egyptian.” The owners of Cairo 2 Go are working to change that. Situated in Suncrest Towne Centre and opened in 2016, the place gave me a feeling of familiarity with the sleek design of a casual American restaurant. This familiarity was combined with a curiosity for something I’d never seen before – an Egyptian restaurant that changed the rules for how you eat Egyptian. Don’t get me wrong, the food is the most authentic thing you’ll ever find. Their falafel, of which I had the real pleasure of experienc-

ing first hand, was made of a soft and lush fava bean filling, where many other restaurants would use the less than genuine chickpea mix. Deep-fried and covered in sesame seeds, yet not at all greasy, the falafel looked beautiful and unlike some of my own experiences with falafel in the past, it did not rely on the tzatziki sauce to give it any more flavor than it already contained. What I mean by Cairo 2 Go “changing the rules” is that unlike some other establishments you may find in Morgantown, they take the term “fast casual” seriously. While you won’t find ornate artwork or a dining experience that immerses you in a culture from across the sea, Cairo 2 Go fulfills its promise of amazing cuisine served quickly and inexpensively, while retaining a relaxed and familiar atmosphere that accommodates any vegan, vegetarian or carnivore. Cairo 2 Go invites people

in with a familiar location and unfamiliar food. As I spoke with the owners, Ahmed Abdelrehim and Kareem Abbara, who were communicating all the way from Egypt, I quickly learned the passion and love that has been placed in the restaurant. Both were committed to the hard work a restaurant takes to be successful and combined with the help of their families, they sought to serve an underserved market. Their innovative minds led them to serve almost every dish in a microwaveable container that you can just walk out of the restaurant with, making Cairo 2 Go the first Egyptian restaurant of its kind in perhaps the entire United States. If my opinion has any merit, which I certainly hope it does, I can say that a shawarma, falafel or konafa cup dessert from Cairo 2 Go is worth a try. To quote Ahmed in his own philosophy as a restaurateur, “Here, we believe in treating people as we want to be treated, and we like to be treated like kings, or Pharaohs.”

Skin care meets science at Mountainlair workshop BY KRISTIN MOHAMMADI STAFF WRITER

Skin care met science at last Friday’s Korean Skin Care Workshop held in the Mountainlair by Poppy & Daisy, a local Korean skin care and beauty store. This workshop was hosted by The WVU Korean Club and was free for students and faculty. The objective of the workshop was to inform students on skin care routines and what works for them with the help of Korean products. All that attended the workshop received a 10-step skin care guide, a list of 47 ingredients found in skin care products and what they do, and tester products available on each table. Sarah and Enze Bond, brother and sister, led the workshop with extensive skin care terminology and expertise in how to make skin care work for everyone. Sitting in the front of the room with glowing, glasss-

basically what I mean by that is skin care is not just skin care; it’s about treating yourself right, lifestyle changes, and to make you feel not only better about your skin but better about

yourself.” The 10-step routine provided in the workshop consisted of the following: oil-based cleanser, water-based cleanser, exfoliant, toner, essence, serum, sheet

mask, eye cream, emulsion or lotion, and the most important step according to the experts, sunscreen. “If you’re going to do anything for your skin, you want to use sunscreen,” Sarah said. “The main reason why the U.S. has high amounts of skin cancer is because we do not use sunscreen, and we promote skin tanning. This is really, really bad for your skin.” The workshop also included skin care “dos and don’ts,” as well as a question and answer portion, a raffle, a coupon for $5 off $15 at Poppy & Daisy and three chances to win a cleanser. WVU Korean Club President Mckenzie Harris and Vice President Jeanne Remy studied abroad in Korea, and claimed their experience abroad changed the way they viewed skin care, and, in turn, changed their skincare routines. “The first time I went to Korea, I didn’t really have a skincare routine,” Harris, 20, of

Charleston, West Virginia, said. “But after coming back and seeing some of the products and trying them, I definitely started to develop a more elaborate skin care routine.” Skin care in Korea is deeply rooted in their culture, which is why they lead in innovation and research on skin care products. According to CNN, Korean facial skin care products are predicted to reach $7.2 billion by 2020. “In Korea, if you’re not taking care of your skin, you’re not taking care of yourself, and in America, it’s just like ‘keep it clean,’” Remy, 20, of Charleston, West Virginia, said. “It’s like, ok you clean it, but there’s still a lot that needs to be done other than just cleaning it.” “Your skin is an organ on your body. You should take care of it as much as you would another,” Remy said.

Google’s new gaming platform, Stadia What is it, and how is it diﬀerent? BY LUCAS HALEY STAFF WRITER

Earlier this week, Google gave the audience more information about their new game distribution service “Stadia.” While the technology is currently revolutionary, there are many people out there who simply want to know the basics of what it is. If you have played games on a PC before, you have likely used Valve’s game distribution program, Steam. On Steam, when you purchase a game that has been distributed through the program, it is added to your library from which you can download it and then play it. Using this method, the games can be played offline but take up space on your local hardware. Stadia is like Steam in the sense that both are collections of games that can be purchased and then played, but Stadia will operate slightly different. Whenever you play a game with Stadia, you will not be downloading the game, which means that you must have an internet connection at all times while playing the game. The game is streamed from Google’s cloud service to your computer in real time, allowing your computer to save a lot of space on its hard drive and have a high quality game experience. Currently, it seems like the program will operate similar to Netflix, but for video games. There are a few other things that we know about the program thus far, and still plenty of

things we don’t know. The program plans to have exclusive titles both produced by Google and second-party developers, and is the official platform of the upcoming “Doom Eternal,” the latest game in the long-running “Doom” franchise by Id Software. According to the technical specifications, a 30mbps internet connection is required to play the games at their highest standard, but the application will change the streamed quality based on the user’s connections to keep the game running at a high frame-rate. Google has also confirmed that the program will run on any device that can run Google Chrome, which will be a difficult specification to keep up with. Many of those devices, such as tablets, phones and laptop notebooks, often do not have high technical specifications, so the quality of running new games at high speeds may drop on these other platforms. However, that remains undetermined. The other issue with running it on mobile devices such as a phone and a tablet is that these items cannot be wired directly into the internet, and playing games over Wi-Fi is generally not a great experience for seasoned gamers. There is a lot still to be seen from Stadia as well. So far, no date of release has been given, which, in the gaming world, means it could come out any time from tomorrow until six years from now. However, with upcoming titles slated to be released for the platform, we can likely expect to see it hit markets in the next two years or sooner.

OPINION Staﬀ Shorts are tidbit writings by our editorial board. They’re mostly meant to be light-hearted, but we sometimes touch on more serious, important topics. They aim to express the many student voices of the University.

Share the road: Respect bicyclists Morgantown infrastructure already doesn’t support bicyclists very well. Add in the disregard many Morgantown drivers seem to have toward those pedaling a bicycle, and you have an outright dangerous situation. Bicycling is one of the healthier things you can do. You not only work your muscles, but you reduce your carbon footprint and limit wear and tear damage on roads. Unfortunately, it’s also dangerous. Drivers should give bicyclists a modicum of respect and pay attention, not swerve within inches of bicyclists as if a life isn’t on the line.

Please stop bankrupting me with parking citations I get it. Maybe I should have taken the extra minute to search between my seat cushions for a few more coins. Maybe I could have run back to the car faster. Regardless: the time in the meter ran out. But does a parking meter that’s been expired for less than five minutes seriously warrant a $20 ticket? Obviously parking tickets are a necessary evil. But is it really necessary to bankrupt already broke college kids for parking?

Life pro tip: Parking tickets are only $5 if you park oﬀ campus.

A nice bike that should be respected.

If you get angry while drunk, don’t drink Anyone who has gone out has probably seen THAT kind of drunk person. This person starts getting mad at literally anything after drinking a little bit of booze, and either breaks stuffs or gets confrontational, trying to start fights with anyone close enough to smell the person’s beer breath. While this person is probably naturally an asshole, the alcohol exacerbates the symptoms. If you’re this kind of drunk person, just don’t drink. While you might be jerk, surely you don’t want everyone to dislike you and not invite you to future social events.

WVU, Coastal Carolina clash in second round of CBI

MEN’S BASKETBALL The West Virginia men’s basketball team is looking to secure an appearance in the quarterfinals of the 2019 College Basketball Invitational as they take on

Freshman guard Jordan McCabe going up for a lay-up against Iowa State.

Coastal Carolina on Monday night. Monday’s matchup is the first ever meeting between the two schools. The game will also pit two head coaches together who have more than 800 career wins: WVU’s Bob Huggins, who has 860, and Coastal Carolina’s Cliff Ellis, who has 841. WVU advanced to the

second round after defeating the Grand Canyon Antelopes on Wednesday, 7763. The Mountaineers were led by junior guard Jermaine Haley who contributed 24 to the victory effort. “Yeah, we’ve been on him,” Huggins said about Haley’s performance. “I think he just missed enough of them early on. He missed three or four early on, and

I think he just put his head down and decided to go score.” Coastal Carolina also advanced on Wednesday by picking up a comeback win over Howard University, winning 81-72. The Chanticleers put up 50 points in the second half alone, allowing them to overcome the halftime pit they found themselves in.

With Ellis at the helm, Coastal Carolina ended the regular season with a 16-16 record and a sixth placed finish in the Sun Belt Conference. The Chanticleers are led by senior forward Zac Cuthbertson, whose 18.2 points per game lead the team. Cuthbertson also leads the team in rebounds, averaging 8.3 per game.

In order to come away with a victory, West Virginia will need another big game from Haley, who has scored 10 or more points in seven of the team’s last eight games. In three of those games, Haley scored more than 20 points. The 7 p.m. tipoff, coming from the WVU Coliseum, will be broadcast on WVUsports. com.

First week of spring practice slow but beneficial for WVU BY JARED SERRE

ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

FOOTBALL West Virginia’s football program kicked off spring practices last Tuesday, hosting the first of the week’s three practice days. With the other two practices for the week falling on Thursday and Saturday, the week was the first on-field experience for the team attempting to mesh with a brand new coaching staff. It is partially due to the new staff that player evaluations have been difficult for the group of coaches. “I don’t really have a starting point, so it’s hard for me [to set a timeframe],” head coach Neal Brown said following Saturday’s practice. “Today wasn’t good enough, but like I told [the team], we had some really strong individual efforts. Today wasn’t good enough as a whole but not totally surprising.” When looking at the team as a whole, there are questions at a variety of position groups that are working to be addressed. “It’s a learning process,” offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Matt Moore said about his group. “This is basically our third first day of what

we install. This is the first day we ran a lot of these schemes [and] a lot of these formations, but they’re enthusiastic.” Addressing the offensive line is one key aspect of the offense that the coaching staff is working through as the team will need to replace tackle Yodny Cajuste, guard Joe Brown and others who saw impactful amounts of playing time last

need to find replacements for a handful of departed players, including 2018 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year David Long. In addition to filling gaps, the team also needs to refine technique, according to Koenning. “Getting off blocks, tackling, angles to the ball, how to play the ball, pad level. I could go on to every single fundamental that

season. “[I like to] get the best five players out on the field,” Moore said. “I like to let them stay [at a position] until they learn it. Then, once we get to the second half of spring, if we see a guy who we say, ‘Hey, he might be a little better here,’ then we’ll move him.” Defensively, new defensive coordinator Vic Koenning will

goes in to it. We’d probably be here for a while,” Koenning said when asked about what he has emphasized on defense. “If you can’t get off a block, then you can’t run to the ball, then you can’t make the play,” he said. Despite the struggles that come with the first week, the coaching staff is not fretting — yet. It is, after all, the first week

of many in which the team can prepare for the fall. “We are getting the most that we can done in the time frame that the NCAA allows us,” Brown said. “Like I said, here’s the deal, we have the rest of spring, 12 practices, or whatever it is. We have all summer. Twenty-five practices in the fall.” “We are going to get where we need to be,” Brown said.
