COVID-19 UPDATE Omicron subvariant detected, Virginia Tech reviewing AG Miyares’ opinion There is no evidence that omicron subvariant BA.2 is more deadly than BA.1, but it is 1.5 times more transmissible.

JANE PARK news writer

An omicron subvariant, BA.2, has been detected in nearly half of U.S. states, according to CNBC. As of Friday, Jan. 28, 127 cases of the new subvariant have been reported.

The subvariant is 1.5 times more transmissible compared to BA.1, the initial omicron strain, as CNBC stated.

However, there is no evidence that BA.2 is more deadly than BA.1, according to the same CNBC article.

CNBC also reported that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Credibility is the greatest asset of any news medium, and impartiality is the greatest source of credibility.

To provide the most complete report, a news organization must not just cover the news, but uncover it. It must follow the story wherever it leads, regardless of any preconceived ideas on what might be most newsworthy.

Newly elected Attorney General Jason Miyares released a legal opinion on Jan. 28 stating that Virginia’s i nstit utions of h igher education cannot require students to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in order to enroll or attend in-person activities. This is Miyares’ first legal opinion since taking office.

According to The Washington Post, some state universities — including Virginia Tech — are assessing Miyares’ time to be the truth and reveal only that to their readers, but rather to report as completely and impartially as possible all verifiable facts so that readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth.

When a news organization delivers both news and opinions, the impartiality and credibility of the news organization can be questioned. To minimize this as much as possible there needs to be a sharp and clear distinction between news and opinion, both to those providing and consuming the news.

Virginia Tech sets new record high for applications A more accessible application has allowed for a more diverse pool of applicants.

ALLY HESSENIUS news writer

Virginia Tech reached a new record high in applicants for the 2022–23 school year.

This year, there were more than 45,000 applications sent to Virginia Tech, a 7% increase from last year. This is the second year in a row that Virginia Tech has reported a historically high number of applications.

“We’ve really been working hard to make the process easier to navigate,” said Juan Espinoza, the associate vice provost and director of admissions.

Improvements made to the application process include self-reported student

academic records (SSARs) and questions that the student can answer on their own without the help of a parent or counselor.

“We put the student in the driver’s seat in this application process and we made sure they had full control of this entire journey,” Espinoza said.

The changes and increased accessibility of the application has allowed for a more diverse pool of applicants. One change that has seemed to benefit many students is the option of a fee waiver.

“We made it easier for them (applicants) to get a fee waiver because that $60 application fee, although (it) is not a lot of money for some families, for others, that’s

a reason why they won’t apply,” Espinoza said. “By making that process easier and more accessible, that’s why we’re seeing a greater number of diversity represented in our applicant pool and therefore seeing that diversity carry over in our incoming class.”

The admissions office saw a 19% increase in first-generation applicants to Virginia Tech.

With this many applicants, Epinoza wants to make it clear that the application process aims to ensure that Virginia Tech is “truly representative of the Commonwealth that (the office of undergraduate admissions) is here to serve.” Espinoza also emphasized the importance of those from

underrepresented and underserved backgrounds being reflected within the Virginia Tech community.

“The theme is we want to be accessible,” Espinoza said. “We want to make sure everyone feels welcome and wanted.”

Bugle announces sesquicentennial publication, calls for student submissions The 2022 Bugle will participate in the storytelling surrounding Virginia Tech’s 150th anniversary through its verbal theme.

TORI WALKER editor-in-chief

The Bugle, Virginia Tech’s yearbook and one of the oldest Hokie traditions, recently announced that it will be centering its 2022 publication around the 150th anniversary of the university’s founding. In spirit of Virginia Tech’s sesquicentennial celebrations, which consist of telling stories spanning from 1872 to 2022, the Bugle’s editorial staff decided to give this year’s book a never-done-before verbal theme.

“It’s really just going to inform our headlines –– and I wanted the sesquicentennial to have a bit of a voice rather than just a design vision. Having a verbal theme will give it a voice,” said Kristen Lewellen, editor-inchief of the Bugle.

Lewellen and her team were strongly inspired by Virginia Tech’s Irving L. Peddrew III Class of 2023 Ring Namesake video which recorded a condensed narrative from Peddrew, the first Black student admitted to Virginia Tech, about his experience as a barrier-breaking undergraduate student in the early 1950s. The video featured Nikki Giovanni, American poet and a university distinguished professor in the Department of English at Virginia Tech,

who introduced the video with a monologue.

Tagged with “We knew …” in nearly every line, the monologue represented the journey endured by minority students like Peddrew to finally join the Hokie Nation, live out “Ut Prosim” and “be Virginia Tech.”

Lewellen felt that incorporating this “We knew …” language in the 2022 Bugle could help it represent the start of many untold and told stories, like Peddrew’s, recounted during this reflective time as our campus recognizes the past 150 years.

Because the Bugle is often unrecognized by the student body as an annual recordkeeper, Lewellen’s mission this year is to join the campus conversations about the importance of history and tradition through her print platform.

“I think a lot of people don’t realize that it (the Bugle) is a record and it is our history,” Lewellen said. “It’s not like, ‘oh, these are 10 people I graduated with.’ It’s our history.

And a hundred years down the line, people can look back and be like, ‘OK, what happened during the pandemic?’”

According to Lewellen, a cohesive design vision typically leads the Bugle’s organization and page layout, followed by written content from her copy editors, campus articles, recorded news and more. However,

the 2022 publication’s pages will guide its readers through phrases of significance as Giovanni did in her monologue –– the headlines will inform significant moments, places, people and events from some of our most unprecedented times amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The sesquicentennial Bugle’s cover design will feature the Virginia Tech Coat of Arms and Seal in its upper-right corner and “We knew …” toward the bottom right.

The staff decided on its white background because it would be the next logical color choice in the Bugles’ lineup on their shelves.

Lewellen also discussed her staff’s decision to make the 2022 Bugle feel like a coffee table book featuring more visuals to accompany its powerful voice.

“We have transitioned from less of a traditional high school yearbook into more of a coffee table book, so we do have a lot more freedom when it comes to being more photoheavy,” Lewellen said.

In order to document and feature the work of our own community through her sesquicentennial yearbook, Lewellen calls any student and alumni photographers and writers to submit their work to the Bugle before its production in late March.

“If you already have something written

that you think we (the Bugle) could feature or if you want to work with us to write something, throw your hat in the ring,” Lewellen said.

By joining the rest of Hokie Nation in its celebrations of Virginia Tech’s 150th anniversary, the Bugle hopes to revitalize the meaning of historical keepsake through its sesquicentennial yearbook and encourages students to be a part of its project –– whether they submit their works or pick up a copy to indulge in the stories told about 2022.

Students and alumni can scan the QR code linked to this story or email vtbugle@ gmail.com to submit photography and written content for the 2022 yearbook.

Spring game date overshadows April 16 memorial

O

The date of this year’s spring game could take attention away from the tragic memory of April 16.

n the morning of April 16, 2007, one of the greatest national tragedies took place on Virginia Tech’s campus when 32 Hokies were gunned down in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history.

The massacre still remains the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, and memorials for its victims are focal points on Virginia Tech’s campus.

The spring game is a common occurrence across Division 1 college football.

This game will be especially memorable, as it will be our first look at the Virginia Tech football team under newly hired coach Brent Pry. Due to the COVID-19

pandemic, the spring game has not been played since 2019, having been canceled in both 2020 and 2021. Traditionally, the spring game has been a time for celebration. Graduating seniors get one final opportunity to tailgate while underclassmen relish the anticipation of the upcoming season. At these tailgates, drinking and unruly behavior are commonplace. Likewise, many people don’t actually attend the football game, instead opting to head home prior to the start of the game.

Every year since the 2007 shootings, Virginia Tech has commemorated the victims with candlelight vigils,

memorials and other acts of remembrance, such as the 3.2 for 32 Run in Remembrance. However, this year, the remembrance ceremonies will take place on the same day as the spring game: two staples of Virginia Tech’s culture on the same day.

I, like many others, am exceptionally excited to see spring game back; I’ve only experienced one in my four years here at Virginia Tech. Perhaps it is a signal that the pandemic is slowly beginning to wane. Some semblance of normalcy is returning, and incoming classes will be able to experience Virginia Tech in its entirety.

However, any excitement I have about the return of the spring game is hampered by it coinciding with the anniversary of the shootings. Instead of students being together in somber remembrance, they will instead be more concerned about partying on Center Street. It reflects poorly on the university’s judgement to have these two important events coincide.

It could be seen as disrespectful to the survivors, as the spring game would take focus away from the tragedy and instead thrust it on the football team.

Sarah Corona, a junior majoring in industrial and systems engineering, had a similar sentiment.

“I think they may think they’re doing it for a good reason but no one is going to actually be caring about it,” Corona said.

“The remembering, everyone is going to be more worried about just going to Center Street and just partying.”

Virginia Tech should move the date of the spring game. April 16 is a day that should solely be to honor the memory of the 32 lives tragically lost: a day of somber remembrance, where we as a community come together to remember the students and faculty lost so tragically.

April 16 should be a day where we come together as Hokies to reflect on what we can improve on in the future. The spring game is a great tradition that we all look forward to, but it should not be scheduled the same day as any remembrance ceremony.

Walking to a different beat: Living as a college student with a congenital heart defect Sports editor Amber Williams describes her experience living with a congenital heart defect for Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Month.

AMBER WILLIAMS sports editor

February is headlined by hearts. Walk into any store and there are hundreds of hearts adorning decorations, cards, clothes and more, all in anticipation of Valentine’s Day. What those fortunate enough to not be affected by the disease are unaware of is that there is another heart-centered holiday celebrated throughout February: Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Month, with Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Day being celebrated on Feb. 14.

The holiday is not in recognition of the cartoonish, cute hearts seen on the shelves; rather, it is a time to reflect on those who were born with broken, anatomical ones.

Congenital heart defects, or CHDs as they are commonly abbreviated, are the most common birth defect, occurring in about 40,000 births every year in the United States alone, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Despite this, many people are unaware of the condition unless it has personally affected them or a loved one.

However, due to advances in medical procedures and the emphasis now placed on prenatal diagnosis of CHDs, there is a large population of people with CHDs living well into adulthood. In 2010, there were 1.4 million adults living in the United States with a CHD, according to the CDC. This is fantastic news, of course, but this also presents a new complication.

Many of these procedures that were used to save, not cure (as there is no cure for CHD), these babies at birth were brand new when they were conducted. They have been refined now and are fairly routine

to perform on infants. Once that child reaches adulthood, however, there are many questions that remain unanswered.

I am one of those adults, and I still have a lot of questions and very little answers.

I was born with a type of CHD called Dextro Transposition of the Greater Arteries (D-TGA). There are 18 types of recognized heart defects with varying degrees of severity. My particular one is in the middle of the scale. If it is caught early, which mine was, a procedure can be performed fairly quickly to save the baby. If not caught, it is an immediate death sentence due to the mixing of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood which poisons the infant and turns them a purplish-blue due to lack of oxygen.

I survived three surgeries within the first couple weeks of my life and have the permanent scar down my chest to prove it. I am one of the “lucky ones” that have not had to have any further intervention.

Still, my CHD affects me frequently; sometimes, managing it as a college student can be a bit intimidating and is something I don’t think is talked about nearly enough in the CHD community.

Every six months, on top of a busy academic schedule, I must set aside time to go see my cardiologist, who practices in a children’s hospital. It’s quite strange to be sitting alone in a waiting room full of parents with their babies and toddlers with “Blue’s Clues” on in the background. It’s even more interesting when I am escorted back to have my height measured and see that I am apparently tall enough to ride the latest roller coaster open at Busch Gardens. When I am finally sent to my room, I usually sit alone staring at the murals of cute animals on the wall and the “Highlights” magazines sitting on the doctor’s desk.

After these appointments, I am usually

sent home with a monitor for either 24 hours or 30 days. The 30-day one is incredibly inconvenient to hide with all of the wires and makes going to college classes every day really “exciting.” I had the pleasure of experiencing this my first semester at Tech, which made adjusting much more difficult.

Then, about every three to five years, I am expected to undergo a CT scan. These are all-day events and involve injecting a dye into your body that is one of the most uncomfortable feelings in the world and makes you feel like you are going to pee on yourself in the machine. It also makes your entire body feel like it is burning from the inside out. I would never make it through these without my family and the incredible nurses who sit with me, hold

my hand and play Taylor Swift on their phones for me when they have to leave the room because of the radiation.

At each of these appointments I am constantly reminded by my amazing cardiologist, who I am so grateful for, when I ask questions that she has no answers to because I am the oldest patient she treats that has had my procedure.

Comforting.

I started to get really tired of hearing the same “I’m sorry, we really don’t know because there isn’t any research and your generation was the first to have the surgery” answer every time I asked about what my future looked like. That’s when the anxiety set in. continued on page 6

PAGE 6 February 1, 2022

Every time my chest would hurt, I would wonder if something was wrong. I constantly wondered how long I had, as dark as that sounds, and how many others were there like me. Would I always have this normal-ish life, or would it all one day be turned upside down because of a complication with my heart defect?

Since the doctors didn’t seem to have my answers and Googling honestly made me depressed, I turned to Facebook, where I found out that there were people just like me, people a lot older than me living full lives, athletes with CHDs, adults who had the original procedure for my defect (which is much less effective,

collegiatetimes.com but I won’t go into the science part of it) still surviving and even women with my defect that had families with healthy children. I was no longer alone.

This led me to discover even more organizations dedicated to people like me. Particularly, I got in contact with the Mended Little Hearts chapter in my area, Mended Little Hearts of Coastal Virginia, and was excited to meet the founder of the chapter, who has a CHD and was the first person I had ever spoken with who also had a heart defect. I mention these organizations to encourage others with diseases that feel isolated to search for a community. It makes a world of difference.

Even though there are still a lot of questions surrounding CHDs and the future of my generation of patients, we are here, and we aren’t just surviving: we are living. It’s scary some days, but most of the time I feel like I am living a normal life. I have many people with my condition who never lived longer than a few hours or days who were unfortunately the test generation, the incredible surgeon and doctor who discovered my condition and operated on me when I was dying in the NICU and they didn’t know why (thanks, Dr. Glenn Barnhart), my doctors who continue to closely monitor me, and my entire support system to thank for where I am today.

editor@collegiatetimes.com

When you see all of the hearts this month to celebrate Valentine’s Day, pause for a moment to remember those with the literally broken ones. We’re here, and we are defying all of the odds every day and living every minute of this complicated, scary, beautiful life.

Blacksburg Books: Strengthening the community one book at a time

Located in the heart of downtown, Blacksburg Books offers a variety of books, local goods, author events and more.

EMILY BURCH lifestyles staff writer

Blacksburg Books — a much-needed addition to the previously bookstore-deprived Blacksburg community — is a new independent store conveniently located in downtown Blacksburg. Blacksburg Books sells both new and used books, providing book lovers with the best of both worlds; not only will you get to find some of the latest releases you’ve absolutely been dying to read, but you will also get the added excitement of discovering hidden gems when shopping secondhand.

For those who like to shop for used books, Blacksburg Books has implemented a unique twist for its customers: Blind Date with a Book.

“Our staff go through the shelves and find books that they think might be a little bit unusual that people might not ordinarily select, and then they wrap them in brown paper and they write on the front of it a sort of description of the plot or something that’s intriguing about the book,” said Laurie Kelly, owner of Blacksburg Books.

Blind Date with a Book allows readers to go out of their comfort zone by not being able to see the cover, author or even the title.

According to Kelly, her customers love this.

Blacksburg Books sells a wide variety of locally made products, supporting small businesses both in and around Blacksburg.

“We really have a lot of different things now, and we’re adding new items all the time,” Kelly said.

A few popular items sold at the

bookstore, according to Kelly, are soaps from The Blacksburg Rose, scented candles from CALI Candles and jewelry from BubbleClayCo. Blacksburg Books also sells food and drinks that pair well with a good read, including chocolates from Chocolate Spike, coffee and kombucha.

“Our coffee is made in Christiansburg. It’s from Brugh Coffee, and then the kombucha we sell (from Tea Beast Kombucha) is locally made,” Kelly said.

Outside of supporting local businesses, Blacksburg Books has already been involved with the local community within the first couple of months that it has been open through the wide variety of events it hosts, which are all listed on its website.

“I think it’s kind of amazing … all the things we’ve been able to do in the first six months we’ve been open, but we do a book club that we partnered with Moon Hollow Brewing (for); they actually approached us and asked about doing that,” Kelly said. “So you can buy the book at Blacksburg Books, and then some of our staff are present at the book club that meets at Moon Hollow once a month and they give a small discount on food or beverage(s) during the book club.”

Additionally, Blacksburg Books hosts Author Nights to support local authors who will come to the bookstore to read their work and share their experience as writers.

“Sometimes they talk about their books; sometimes they talk about the writing process,” Kelly said. “Some have talked about the publishing process.”

One upcoming event is the Altered Book

COURTESY OF BLACKSBURG BOOKS

Workshop, where you can transform pages from old books into an artistic Valentine’s Day-themed craft. As listed on Blacksburg Books’ events page, this workshop will take place on Feb. 11 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the bookstore, with a cost of $20 per person. Treats from Chocolate Spike will be provided.

“We’re partnering with Original Frameworks and New River Art & Fiber on that project, so they’re donating some supplies,” Kelly said. “If you like the thing that you make, Original Frameworks will give a discount on framing it.”

Blacksburg Books has also partnered with the Appalachian Prison Book Project (APBP), an organization that grants books and educational opportunities to people who are incarcerated.

“They receive letters from prisoners asking for a particular book or author or

topic or genre,” Kelly said. “This group tries to find a book to match the request, and then mails the book to the prisoner.”

Kelly also explained that APBP previously had trouble locating specific books, so she jumped on the opportunity to get Blacksburg Books involved as an additional source to help meet these requests and support the cause.

“It’s a need that we can help meet, so I’m really happy to be involved in that,” Kelly said.

Blacksburg Books is invested in its community and exists to support all who crave a good read. Both in Blacksburg and around the New River Valley, Blacksburg Books continues to spread the joy of reading.

Red-hot shooting leads Virginia Tech to big win over Florida State The Hokies bounce back big with a dominant shooting performance against the Seminoles.

RIDGE WILSON sports staff writer

After entering the season with high expectations, turnovers, defensive struggles and ill-timed poor shooting had contributed to a slow start to conference play.

The Seminoles (13–7, 6–4 ACC) have only lost five ACC home games in the last five seasons, and despite Naheem McLeod

leading their massive frontcourt, they could not contain the Hokies’ blistering shooting.

This could be the game that sparks Virginia Tech to make a run in February, as it has an extended stretch of very winnable games, starting Wednesday night against last-place Georgia Tech. @CTSportsTalk

Virginia Tech swim and dive have secured a commitment from Winter U.S. Open Qualifier Ethan Maloney.

Maloney recently moved to Jacksonville, Florida, to attend The Bolles School, where he is a part of the Bolles School Sharks club swim team. The incoming Hokie freshman originally hailing from Lebanon, New Jersey, already has an impressive swimming portfolio.

At the Florida 1A State Championship, Maloney came in third in the 100 breast and fifth in the 50 free in November. He followed up this performance by qualifying for the Winter Juniors-East finals and placing third in breaststroke with a time of 53.97 seconds.

Most recently, Maloney earned bronze in the 100 breast at the Speedo Winter Junior

Championship East. Maloney’s best 100 breast time is 53.744 seconds, which would already qualify him to score at an ACC men’s championship meet.

Maloney expressed his excitement to join the Virginia Tech swimming team to Swimming World.

“I am very proud and excited to announce that I will be pursuing my academic and athletic career at Virginia Tech!” Maloney said. “I wanted to thank my family, friends, and coaches for helping me through this crazy process! Can’t wait to be a HOKIE!!!!!”

Maloney will join the Class of 2026 with Tanish Mathew, William Hayon, Carl Bloebaum, Landon Gentry, Aiken Do and Mitchell Stroud.

Last-second shot from Miami hands men’s basketball a heartbreaker at home

COLLEGIATE TIMES / ANDREW ROGERS

Fourteen turnovers from the Hokies gave Miami an edge over Virginia Tech.

COLBY TALLEY sports staff writer

On a night Cassell Coliseum had dubbed “Cassell Jam” in honor of the “Space Jam” films, it seemed appropriate that the Hokies’ game against Miami would come down to one miraculous shot.

Unfortunately for Virginia Tech (10–10, 2–7 ACC), that shot belonged to the Hurricanes (15–5, 7–2 ACC) who escaped Blacksburg with a 78–75 victory following an improbable half-court bankshot from guard Charlie Moore.

“That’s the game, man,” said Hokies’ head coach Mike Young in response to his team’s last-second defeat. “It doesn’t owe you a damn thing, you got to suck it up.”

“It’s basketball,” said Hokies’ forward Justyn Mutts. “You hate to see it, but it’s a part of the game.”

Despite many viewing the inconceivable final shot as evidence of the game’s outcome being a fluke, there are actually plenty of factors that point to why the Hokies lost in the end.

For instance, the Hokies committed 14 turnovers – 12 of which were in the first half – that led to 23 points for the Hurricanes.

This stat makes more sense when taking into account how the Hurricanes rank second in the ACC for steals per game.

Additionally, the Hokies, who came into the game boasting the best 3-point defense in the ACC only allowing 28.8% from that range all season, allowed the Hurricanes to

shoot 61.1% from 3-point range.

The Hurricanes also had no trouble getting production from their star players.

Guard Kameron McGusty finished with 19 points to lead all scorers while guard Jordan Miller followed closely behind with 18 points of his own.

Moore also contributed 13 points, six assists and five steals while serving as the Hurricanes primary ball-handler.

As for the Hokies, forward Keve Aluma led the way with 14 points while guards Hunter Cattoor and Nahiem Alleyne both scored 13 points.

The most noteworthy performance of the night for the home squad was that of Mutts who – despite not scoring in the first half – came surprisingly close to a triple-double

with nine points, eight assists and ten rebounds.

Another key performer for the Hokies was guard Darius Maddox who posted quite possibly his best performance of the season with 13 points and four assists.

While the Hokies tournament chances are continuing to spiral, Cattoor made sure to set the record straight during the postgame.

“We know what team we have, we know our season isn’t over,” Cattoor said. “We’ve still got games to play and we’ll get ready for Florida State on Saturday.”
