RFL program to change departments

BY TRAVIS CRUM CITY EDITOR

The role of Residential Faculty Leaders at West Virginia University will change when the program moves to a new department Sept. 1.

The RFL program will now be under the guidance of the Office of Academic Affairs, said Becky Lofstead, assistant vice president for University Communications, and it was formerly under Student Affairs.

RFLs will now focus on coordinating academic programming for students and paying attention to those who may need an academic intervention, said Elizabeth Dooley, associate provost for the Office of Academics Affairs.

“Our end goal is retention by coordinating better tutorial services for students with more cooperation from faculty,” Dooley said.

The move will aid University President James P. Clements’

goal of increasing retention rates among freshmen and will help develop the 2020 Strategic Plan.

The University’s goal is to have Student Affairs and Academic Affairs work more closely together, Dooley said.

She plans to meet with RFLs in the next few weeks to discuss their new roles in more detail.

It is unclear whether or not a position will be created to manage residence halls.

“I don’t have anything to do with Residential Education, but

I certainly want the RFLs to have a stronger academic component paramount with the move,” she said.

Ken Gray, vice president for Student Affairs, said RFLs will not need to worry about job security with the move.

“They have done a good job of helping our students transfer from high school to college,” Gray said. “They work well with students and parents, so I don’t see this changing for them much.”

WVU is one of the few colleges in the nation that employees faculty to be the leaders of first-year residential housing, he said.

In addition to moving the RFL program, all University 101 classes will be under Academic Affairs instead of through the residence halls, Dooley said.

The move would enable the class, required by first-year and transfer students, to be more academic-based instead of focusing on the students’ daily lives.

WVU’s RFL Program began in 1996 under former University President David C. Hardesty, as part of an initiative known as Operation Jump-Start, which puts structures in place to help students adjust to college.

University 101 began in the late 1990s as Orientation I, a recommended course, and was approved as a graduation requirement in 2002 by Faculty Senate, Lofstead wrote in an e-mail. travis.crum@mail.wvu.edu

WVU building earns LEED certification City Council says tailgate hearings unenforceable bY eRIN FITZWILLIAMS sTAFF wRITER

The Department of Energy Legacy Management Business Center is recognized as the first building in West Virginia to receive the double gold LEED rating.

First ‘double gold’ building in W.Va. by samantha cossick Associate city editor

West Virginia University is home to the first “double gold” Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certified building in the state.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Legacy Management Business Center in WVU’s Research Park earned its two LEED certifications this summer.

The LEED certifications are standards used to design buildings to be more sustainable and efficient.

The building received LEED gold certification for both the Core and Shell category and Commercial Interiors category, said Claiborne Williams, principal-in-charge of FD Partners Development, a firm that worked on construction of the building.

The Core and Shell category refers to the building’s structure and what kind of features the building has, as well as its mechanical units, such as plumbing and electrical, Wil-

liams said.

Commercial Interiors refers to interior materials used and whether they are recyclable, as well as different aspects such as if there is efficient air supply or if water fixtures are low flow, he said.

Originally, the building only had to achieve a LEED silver certification; however, the DOE wanted to do better, Williams said.

“It was partly an internal Department of Energy decision to strive for LEED gold, and we were successful in achieving it,” Williams said.

The land is not used by WVU but is leased by the University to the DOE, said Russ Lorince, director of Economic Development at WVU. “We have a long-standing research relationship with the DOE,” Lorince said. “We do a lot of collaborative research in the energy area.”

Although they didn’t have much input on the design, the Chelsi Baker/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM University is “very pleased” Shown is the lobby of The U.S. Department of Energy’s Legacy Management Business Center in the WVU Research Park.

Univ. issues parking warnings for first time

BY JOSH COOPER STAFF WRITER

For the first week of the semester, the West Virginia University Department of Parking and Transportation issued warnings instead of tickets to students who parked illegally.

This is the first time in WVU’s history that warnings have been issued the first week of classes, said Eric Rosie, assistant director of Parking Administration at WVU. The warnings were issued until Monday morning. Tickets will be issued for the remainder of the semester, he said.

However, the act of issuing warnings during the first week may only take place this fall, Rosie said.

“We may not do this next fall, we may only issue warnings for a day prior to ticketing,” Rosie said. “It is not a written policy that we will not ticket for the first week of classes every year.”

The department issued the warnings for a number of reasons, Rosie said.

This year, permits were changed from hanging tags to stickers that can be reposiChelsi Baker/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM tioned, he said.

The Morgantown City Council’s original plan to distribute permits for tailgating on game days was deemed “logistically impossible,” said City Manager Dan Boroff at Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting.

Anyone who wanted to tailgate would have had to attend a public hearing prior to the game to obtain the permit, Boroff said. This would cause hassle for the citizens and city.

The Council is instead encouraging the public to act responsibly and follow the laws already in place pertaining to open containers, public intoxication and noise levels.

The new alcohol-free student “Pit” is a sign to the community that West Virginia University is trying to make a difference on game days, said Sabrina Cave, executive director of WVU Parents Club, who helped organize the event and spoke to City Council.

“We are encouraging positive fan behavior,” Cave said.

“We are moving in a positive direction.”

Cave said it was a safe al-

ternative for students before games.

Mayor Bill Byrne recognized that the University is making an effort to make game days safer with a controlled use of alcohol and keeping it from spilling out into the community.

The council did, however, agree that a larger presence of police force patrolling the area near the stadium is necessary to keep tailgating safe.

Councilor John Gaddis suggested the Council take a look at what happens over the course of the first football game this Saturday to see if any issues arise regarding tailgating.

“Last year, after the first two games, there was an outbreak of tailgates in a new area,” Boroff said. “That was what forced us to take a look at the issue.”

The neighborhood is concerned about tailgating and game day activities moving out into surrounding areas, said Councilor Jenny Selin.

“We want people to come to Morgantown and enjoy their tailgating before the game but not let it get out of hand,” Selin said.

Residence halls now offering kosher food

by Melissa Candolfi STAFF WRITER

West Virginia University Dining Services started offering kosher food last week for Jewish students at WVU. Sharon Sinay, a freshman accounting major, requested kosher food be incorporated to assist other Jewish students like himself. Dining Services was accepting of his request, he said.

Sinay is the first student at WVU to request kosher meals in the dorms.

“Kosher is part of the Jewish religion, and this is a big part of the American culture,” Sinay said. “I think it should be in every dining room and in every dorm so everyone will be able to eat.”

Kosher refers to a diet that comes from the Bible. The diet is limited to certain animals, fish and birds. For example, only fish with fins and scales are kosher.

Also, kosher meat is slaughtered a certain way and cannot be mixed with kosher dairy products. Kosher food production is supervised by anyone who understands kosher laws.

So far, WVU is offering six kosher meals that include

grilled chicken with gravy, matza ball soup and garden vegetables, said David Friend, director of WVU Dining Services.

Friend said dining services are in the beginning of the process but hope to continue and expand it.

“We are hoping to build upon this program,” Friend said. “We may be able to work to get a salad bar approved as kosher.”

Sinay hopes that more Jewish students will request kosher food, too.

By offering the food, Dining Services has made it easier for Jewish students to keep kosher, said Rabbi Zalman Gurevitz, director of Chabad Jewish student service at WVU. “Here, it is so important to supply kosher food,” Gurevitz said. “Students that are concerned about kosher food can’t get it in West Virginia.

The closest place that serves kosher is in Pittsburgh.”

Gurevitz helped Dining Services decide what kosher meals to incorporate.

“I talked to a student who is now a sophomore, and she said she couldn’t keep

Humor website mocks WVU students, athletics, academics

BY SARAH O’ROURKE CORRESPONDENT

An anonymous duo has started a humorous website called Mountaineer Irony, Morgantown’s “Satirical Holler.”

The site, Mountaineer Irony, which released one of two updates on Monday, provides a satirical twist on West Virginia University students, athletics and academics.

The goal of the site is “to offend people who offend me,” said “Quill”, author and cocreator of Mountaineer Irony.

Quill wishes to remain anonymous because he is active on campus, he said. Due to legal reasons, Mountaineer Irony has no affiliation with WVU, he added.

“If I can make a state college female think twice before donning a pair of Uggs, then I have saved high fashion. If I can make said female not go to ‘Sex and the City 2,’ I have saved culture,” Quill said.

“Really, I just want state college females to reconsider the cultural morass they’ve dug themselves into.”

Quill said the site follows a format similar to other college humor websites such as the Phroth at Pennsylvania State University and the Georgetown Heckler at Georgetown University.

Headlines and short stories are updated to the site

every Monday, he said.

“Nation’s State Colleges Defenseless against New Jersey, FBI Warns,” reads one of the site’s top headlines.

In the story, Quill writes phrases like, “NJ’s (New Jerseyians) dispatch their lesser sons and daughters to Northeastern state universities as a proactive strategy to crush academic standards and integrity at outside schools”.

The story goes on to say that “Female NJ’s can easily be spotted by the OBX sticker they bought when they visited North Carolina once last spring.”

After reading the article, Christy Pape, a sophomore general studies major, said she found the story hilarious and definitely plans to read more from the site.

Freshman general studies major, Erika Orlikoff, said she would prefer to read about something else.

“I think it’s kind of pretentious,” she said. “Without people from New Jersey, WVU wouldn’t be WVU.” Mountaineer Irony is a two-man project, Quill said.

Quill does the writing and his partner performs the site’s management and Photoshop, he said.

Generally, the site has received positive feedback for its stories.

“I received loads of hate mail for the College Republicans article, presumably from

people who would blow up my website if it were an abortion clinic,” Quill said.

“Oddly enough, they weren’t offended by the story’s idea of Republicans starting a racially exclusionist club, but at the fact I was insinuating that they owned yachts.”

Mo rga nt ow n i n i tself is a story, he said, and that is where he finds his inspiration. “‘Did that man in the camouflage K-5 blazer really just shout both a racial and homophobic epithet at me?’”

Quill said.

“Yes he did. Inspiration.

If that doesn’t work, I just go to Black Bear (Burritos) and mock the hipsters.”

George Turner, senior religious studies major, said the stories didn’t make him laugh out loud, but they were still OK. “Basically, it’s taking something joked about on campus and mocking it a bit,” he said.

Quill said his humor isn’t for everyone.

“There are two types of people in this town. Those who revel in its absurdity, and those who are aware of it,” Quill said.

“My stories are designed for the latter. The former can visit collegehumor.com and enjoy its pastiche of breast and fart jokes.” danewroom@mail.wvu.edu

School of Nursing receives $800,000 donation for hiring, research, faculty

BY KAYLA GROGG Correspondent

The School of Nursing at West Virginia University recently received $800,000 in funds donated by WVU Hospitals and alumni.

It is a win-win situation for the School because they now have money for research, and donors feel like their money is going toward research they want, said Georgia Narsavage, dean of the School of Nursing.

“The legislature wanted to stimulate research in West Virginia that will improve health,” Narsavage said.

“WVU and Marshall University have the opportunity to receive funds.”

The largest pledge was $350,000 and will fund the WVU Hospitals Evidence Based Research Practice Professorship in Nursing.

This endowment will enable the School to add a professor who will work with nurses to research biomedical

sciences and change protocols for patient care to ensure the best outcomes, Narsavage said.

“The projects are designed by nurses to address problems they have come across in hospitals,” she said.

Two additional donors gave $25,000 each, which was matched by the Bucks for Brains program, adding another $100,000 to the School.

Laurie Badzek, a WVU nursing professor and director of the WV Quality of Life Institute, gave a donation for The Badzek Family Endowment for Nursing Research.

The goal of this gift is to give high-quality care and improve the quality of life for West Virginians.

Another gift was given by Lois Kuhn Evans, a 1970 graduate of WVU, which created the Ruth and Robert Kuhn Nursing Faculty Research Fund, providing seed money so that WVU faculty can have some of the same opportu-

CORRECTION

nities available at many research universities.

The money helps initiate research about West Virginia citizens that could eventually lead to more funding.

“The funding we have received gives the School the ability to fund our faculty and our nurses to research and improve patient care and quality of life,” Narsavage said.

The School was given $400,000, which qualified for the Bucks for Brains program, by the West Virginia Research Trust Fund.

The program matches donated amounts dollar-for-dollar, said Christine Meredith, director of development for the School of Nursing.

“Basically, we should thank our legislature for providing this matching program,” Narsavage said. “We are very blessed to have this, especially at a time when our donors are being so generous.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Christiaan Abildso, chair of the Pedestrian Safety Board, presented a plan to

agree with the policy, believing it gives students a chance to find a parking spot or buy a permit before receiving a ticket.

“A week was definitely fair,” said James Anderson, a junior psychology major. “It was plenty of time for people without permits to figure out where to park.”

Stacy Carter, a senior biology major, said the policy was a good gesture and gave people a chance to find a spot.

“Parking in Morgantown can be confusing,” she said.

“It’s nice they didn’t penalize students who may be new to the area.”

One student disagreed, believing the warnings had un-

clear instructions.

“I received two warnings on my car,” said Victoria Porterfield, a freshman pre-business major. “I didn’t think they were clear enough about where to go so I wouldn’t get ticketed.”

The current price of tickets at WVU is $20. This applies to unauthorized parking in numbered parking areas around campus, according to the WVU Transportation and Parking website.

The price of parking tickets was increased by $10 last school year to serve as a greater deterrent to unauthorized parking.

LEED certification is based on how the building qualifies in six areas: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality as well as innovation and design process.

To be LEED certified, a building must gain 23 to 27 points. Silver certification requires 28 to 33 points, gold

Key figure in Kenya-based scam to steal from state receives 20 months CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Calling her as essential to the crime as to helping prosecutors unravel it, a federal judge sentenced a Kenyan woman Tuesday to another 20 months behind bars for aiding a scheme to steal millions from West Virginia and other state governments.

Angella Chegge-Kraszeski received a three-year term, with U.S. District Judge John T. Copenhaver Jr. then deducting the nearly 16 months she’s already spent in custody.

The 34-year-old will be deported after that sentence, said her defense lawyer, who raised concerns about her and her family’s safety in Kenya for cooperating so extensively with investigators.

Hatched in Kenya, the

scheme’s masterminds remain a mystery. They enlisted Chegge-Kraszeski during a visit there with her mother and son, now 15.

Dabbing away tears, she apologized to the court and to West Virginia for assisting the scheme.

“I have brought so much shame, so much shame,” she said.

The sentence wraps up a pair of cases in which CheggeKraszeski and five other Kenyan nationals pleaded guilty to varying roles in the scam.

Also facing deportation, the five men received terms earlier this month ranging from time served to six years.

The conspiracy sought funds owed to legitimate government contractors in West Virginia as well as Kansas, Massachusetts and Ohio.

Following orders issued from Kenya, Chegge-Kraszeski registered corporations and opened bank accounts under names nearly identical to those businesses. The scammers then tricked state officials into rerouting more than $3.3 million in vendor payments between March and July 2009.

All the money was recovered except $772,000 from West Virginia, which ended up wired to Kenya. Chegge-Kraszeski aided those transfers.

“It’s fair to say that you were the face of the conspiracy in the United States, at least to the extent that it was successful,” Copenhaver told the woman.

“Many times, you could have

withdrawn from it. But you didn’t.”

Yet, Copenhaver also agreed with prosecutors that CheggeKraszeski began cooperating immediately upon her May 2009 arrest – after she tried unsuccessfully to extend the scam to Florida.

Officials there caught the ruse and alerted authorities.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Susan Robinson said CheggeKraszeski helped identify or explain the roles of the five others convicted.

During several lengthy debriefing sessions, she provided information backed up by such other evidence as documents and bank security footage, Robinson said.

Representing CheggeKraszeski, U.S. Public Defender Mary Lou Newberger added that the woman also provided e-mail addresses for the scheme’s Kenya-based leaders, one of the few clues to their identity.

Newberger said CheggeKraszeski cooperated knowing she would be deported, despite being married to a U.S. citizen in North Carolina.

“In a very practical sense, this is the end of her marriage,” Newberger told the judge. “These are very real consequences.”

The husband attended Tuesday’s sentencing, as he had her prior hearings. They exchanged waves and blown kisses as she was led from the courtroom afterward.

President Barack Obama greets members of the military at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, Tuesday.

Obama: US combat in Iraq over, ‘time to turn page’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Claiming no victory, President Barack Obama formally ended the U.S. combat role in Iraq after seven long years of bloodshed, declaring firmly Tuesday night: “It’s time to turn the page.” Now, he said, the nation’s most urgent priority is fixing its own sickly economy.

From the Oval Office, where George W. Bush first announced the invasion that would come to define his presidency, Obama addressed millions who were divided over the war in his country and around the world. Fiercely opposed to the war from the start, he said the United States “has paid a huge price” to give Iraqis the chance to shape their future – a cost that now includes more than 4,400 troops dead, tens of thousands more wounded and hundreds of billions of dollars spent.

In a telling sign of the domestic troubles weighing on the United States and his own presidency, Obama turned much of the emphasis in a major war address to the dire state of U.S. joblessness. He said the Iraq war had stripped America of money needed for its own prosperity, and he called for an economic commitment at home to rival the grit and purpose of a military campaign.

In his remarks of slightly less than 20 minutes, only his second address from the Oval Office, Obama looked directly into the TV camera, hands clasped in front of him on his desk, family photos and the U.S. and presidential flags behind him. His tone was somber.

Even as he turns control of the war over to the Iraqis – and tries to cap one of the most divisive chapters in recent American history – Obama is escalating the conflict in Afghanistan.

He said that winding down Iraq

As for Iraq, for all the finality of Obama’s remarks, the war is not over. More Americans are likely to die. The country is plagued by violence and political instability, and Iraqis struggle with constant shortages of electricity and water.

Obama is keeping up to 50,000 troops in Iraq for support and counterterrorism training, and the last forces are not due to leave until the end of 2011 at the latest.

As the commander in chief over a war he opposed, Obama took pains to thank troops for their sacrifice but made clear he saw the day as more the marking of a mistake ended than a mission accomplished.

He spoke of strained relations with allies, anger at home and the heaviest of wartime tolls.

“We have met our responsi-

bility,” Obama said. “Now it is time to turn the page.”

To underscore his point, Obama said he had telephoned called Bush, whom he had taunted so often in the 2008 campaign, and praised the former Republican president in the heart of his speech.

“It’s well known that he and I disagreed about the war from its outset,” Obama said. “Yet no one could doubt President Bush’s support for our troops, or his love of country and commitment to our security.”

In a post-Sept. 11, 2001, world, the Iraq war began with bipartisan congressional backing – based on what turned out to be flawed intelligence – over what Bush called a “grave danger” to the world posed by Saddam Hussein. Hussein is gone and Iraqis live in greater freedom.

Yet Iraq’s leaders are unable to form a new government long after March elections that left no clear winner.

to preserve Proposition 8 as well, the group’s lawsuit states.

“To allow an elected official to trump the will of the people by mere inaction and the lack of fulfillment of their duty to do their job would be an egregious violation of public trust,” Pacific Legal Institute Brad Dacus said Tuesday.

The institute brought its motion on behalf of Joshua Beckley, pastor of Ecclesia Christian Fellowship church in San Bernardino, and included with it a declaration of support from former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese III. Meese, who served one term as attorney general under President Ronald Reagan and Reagan’s legal adviser when he was governor of California, said that Schwarzenegger and Brown’s positions were at odds with his own experience.

“Governor Reagan never refused or declined to defend a state law or state constitutional provision, regardless of his own

opposition or dislike for a challenged provision,” he wrote.

“As attorney general, I never refused or declined to defend a law on the basis that I disagreed with the law as a matter of policy.”

Reagan’s Justice Department did refuse to defend at least one federal policy, when Meese was serving as a presidential adviser but before he became attorney general. Government lawyers joined attorneys for an African immigrant whose bid for residency had been approved by the Immigration and Naturalization Service but overturned by Congress, arguing that such legislative vetoes were unconstitutional.

Brown has said both in legal filings and public statements that he has sworn to uphold the state and federal constitutions and therefore can not defend Proposition 8 because he thinks it is an unconstitutional violation of gay Californians’ civil rights.

Legal group seeks to compel California to defend Prop 8

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A conservative legal group is trying to force Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown to defend California’s gay marriage ban in court.

The Pacific Justice Institute petitioned the 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento on Monday for an emergency order that would require the two officials to appeal a ruling that overturned Proposition 8.

Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker struck down the voter-approved measure as unconstitutional last month.

Its sponsors have appealed.

But doubts have been raised about whether they have authority to do so because as ordinary citizens they are not responsible for enforcing marriage laws.

The state has until Sept. 11 to challenge Walker’s ruling in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Both Brown and Schwarzenegger, who also refused to support Proposition 8 in Walker’s court, have said they do not plan to.

The institute is arguing that as the state’s chief law enforcement officer, Brown does not have discretion to defend only laws with which he personally agrees.

And because the California Constitution gives the governor final say when he and the attorney general disagree on legal matters, Schwarzenegger must be compelled to file an appeal

NEW YORK (AP) — A former Osama bin Laden aide who stabbed a federal prison guard in the eye was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison after telling the court he’s not a terrorist and hearing his victim tell him he will go to hell.

U.S. District Judge Deborah Batts said Mamdouh Mahmud Salim, 52, deserved a life sentence for his “unusually cruel, brutal” attack in 2000 on guard Louis Pepe at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan. She ordered Salim to pay $4.72 million in restitution to cover the medical expenses for Pepe’s continuing rehabilitation.

The stabbing left Pepe braindamaged and blind in one eye.

The sentence caused Pepe’s sister, Eileen Trotta, to thrust her fists in the air enthusiastically and to pat Pepe on the back. More than a half-dozen guards who watched the proceeding congratulated a smiling Pepe afterward as he rolled his wheelchair out of court.

Pepe, asked how he felt, said, “Pretty good.”

The sentence for Salim was actually a resentencing, since a federal appeals court said in December 2008 that the judge should have imposed a terrorism enhancement to the guilty pleas he entered to crimes of conspiracy to murder a federal official and attempted murder of a federal official. The judge originally sentenced Salim in 2004 to 32 years in prison.

Salim, who before the Sept.

11 attacks was believed to be the highest-ranking al-Qaida member held in the United States, was not in court but appeared by video on courtroom monitors. He was handcuffed and shackled at the waist on a chair in front of rows of books at the maximum-security Supermax prison in Florence, Colo. He kept his head tilted against a phone resting on his shoulder.

Salim did not show emotion as Pepe addressed him directly, beginning in a conver-

Pepe told Salim that he can’t walk anymore and it’s difficult to talk. He also told Salim that Salim’s not going to be a martyr.

“You’re going to hell,” he said.

Then he reached into a small bag at the side of his wheelchair, saying he had something for Salim. He pulled out a doughnut, saying, “That’s for you Salim,” as he tried to give it to Salim’s lawyer, who did not turn around to accept it.

Pepe’s sister said outside court that Pepe had been known as Pepsi by co-workers because he always brought them sodas and coffees.

“He wanted to show, ‘I’m on top,’ that he was giving something,” she said.

Outside court, Pepe smiled and said: “I’m glad he’s finished, but I’m glad he got his little doughnut.”

Salim spoke in English, saying: “I’m not a criminal. I’m not a terrorist.” He said the stabbing occurred on Nov. 1, 2000,

as he was trying to get to his defense lawyers to force them out of the case because he believed they were federal agents. He sought a set of keys from Pepe to enter a room where the lawyers were waiting for him.

He sprayed Pepe with hot sauce to blind him before stabbing him in the eye with a sharpened comb he had hidden in his cell in a high-security wing of the federal lockup next to federal court. He has said he intended to stab the lawyers so they could no longer represent him.

At the time, Salim was awaiting trial on a conspiracy charge after his arrest in the August 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. The attacks killed 224 people, including a dozen Americans.

Salim said he requested not to be taken to court Tuesday because he gets beaten by guards whenever he is moved from one prison to another.

Of Pepe, Salim said: “If the victim here wants to take my eye, let him take my eye. If he wants to take my hand, let him take my hand.”

Remember: Facebook’s eyes are always open In an age when everyone has a camera, it’s fair to say with one weekend of college behind us and another on its way, you’ve been photographed.

With the rise of social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace, anyone with a camera near you can share your antics with the world.

As we college students attempt to break through into the world of real employment, it’s important to recognize how we can sometimes be our own worst enemies.

Though Facebook may seem like a great place to chat, connect with friends and see campus events, it’s also become a new avenue for employers to look into an applicant’s background.

The most important piece of advice we can give any potential future college graduate: Check those privacy settings.

These tips are all located under the main Facebook page, under “Account Settings” and “Privacy Settings.”

Facebook has a tendency to launch new features and tech-

nologies for new applications frequently, which can sometimes reset privacy settings.

As a Facebook user, you can customize the way your profile looks to anyone – friends, family, connections in your “network,” and whether or not it is visible to the public.

When Facebook first gave the option of public profiles, it made profiles accessible through Google and other search engines.

The best defense against an employer finding your name in a simple search is to hide

your social life from the rest of the world.

That being said, it makes sense also to set restrictions on what kinds of information different kinds of people can see.

Sure, your friends can enjoy photos of your antics at FallFest – but that might not be so appetizing to family members or potential employers.

A new feature recently launched by the social site allows other users to “tag” where you are at any given time.

This feature is known as “Places” and is Facebook’s at-

tempt to counter popular location site FourSquare.

This feature can easily be turned off by changing the default settings under “Places I Check In” and “Friends can check me into places.”

These settings enable you to prohibit others from tagging you, for example, tailgating on a day you’ve skipped work.

There are countless incidents of people facing the consequences of companies, bosses and potential employers ending ties due to improper behavior on Facebook.

There are just as many debates countering the argument – that social media shouldn’t interfere with business.

But with such tools available, it pays to be proactive in making sure your personal life stays personal.

Remember – Facebook can only display what information you give it.

Make sure your future company only sees your resume and not your drunken shenanigans. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Professors, distributors profit from black-market books chelsi baker/the daily athenaeum

Instructor editions of textbooks, like this copy at the Book Exchange, end up on the market and on the shelves for students to purchase.

A.J. Warne correspondent

Have you ever bought a textbook that had black tape over part of the front cover, spine and a large portion of the back cover? If not, you probably will at some point. If so, then you have bought a “black market” book.

Nationally, there is a growing marketplace that most students do not know about.

Call it the “black market” of textbooks.

Complimentary copies of textbooks are being bought and sold unethically and are contributing to the rising cost of a college education.

Students only buy textbooks twice a year, but the reality is textbooks are being bought and sold all year; they just don’t make it to the student until the beginning of the semester.

The “black market” of textbooks runs without many of us knowing about it and is a problem both for students and publishers.

Publishing companies want professors to choose their

books to use in class, so they send professors samples of textbooks (at no charge) to review.

These samples are to be reviewed by the professor and then returned to the publisher or destroyed. Nationally, however, some professors are selling these books to “book bandits” for $5 to $20, as was the case with former Seton Hall psychology professor, Byron Hargrove.

The Star-Ledger reported Hargrove was working in conjunction with two other collaborators and ordering samples of more than 2,000 textbooks, which he sold for an average of $10 to $15. He was prosecuted for theft of more than $100,000 in textbooks and ordered to pay a fine.

The textbooks bought by “book bandits” are then sold to book distributors for roughly twice the price they were purchased for. At this point, the distributor covers the “Complimentary Edition” or “Instructor’s Edition” or “Review Copy” with black tape to hide the fact that it is not a legitimate copy for purchase from the publisher.

They also cover information that publishers include on these textbooks about return-

ing them and how selling them contributes to higher textbook prices for students.

These copies are sold to textbook stores on college campuses around the nation with a mark up of as much as 300 percent, according to a prominent publishing executive who prefers to remain anonymous.

Bookstores, many like our own Book Exchange, then mark the books up to market value and sell them to students.

Joey Arbuckle, the textbook manager of the Downtown Book Exchange, commented that he doesn’t really know how, but “(the black market textbooks) make it into the market.”

Arbuckle said he sells what the distributor supplies the store with.

He continued to explain that those are the textbooks they get from their distributors, and they sell them to students, as if they were regular used copies bought back from students.

That same publishing executive explained the process. The book that you hold in your hand, covered in black masking tape, started out as a complimentary copy given to a professor to review for use

in their class.

A “book bandit” then bought it for between $5 to $20, which goes directly into the pocket of professors. The bandit doubles (or nearly so) their money selling this book to the distributor who disguised the identity of this book and sold it to a used bookstore for more than the $10 to $40 they bought it from the bandit for, probably closer to between $30 and $120.

The bookstore puts it on a shelf that correlates with your class and sells you this complimentary copy incognito for the market price, which probably ranges from $55 to $215.

For example, a student could purchase a $215 textbook from a professor for $20 (who paid nothing for it), a book bandit for $20, the book distributor for $80 and your local used book supercenter for only $95.

The sad thing is, you won’t get four copies of the book to generously share with your friends, nor will you get more than $40 or $50 out of it when you sell it back to your favorite bookstore.

The biggest problem for students in this supply chain is not the unethical behavior of the professor or the simple

capitalistic behavior of the book vendors taking advantage of a profitable market; it is the publisher’s loss.

This creates an additional advantage to constantly updating the edition of their textbooks to eliminate some of the used and “black market” copies.

Textbooks are expensive to produce. There are anywhere from $6 million to $8 million invested in a 1,000-page biology textbook on behalf of the publisher.

Each copy circulated through the textbook market that was not purchased from the textbook publisher increases their cost for each new textbook they sell.

We need to tackle this problem as close to the source as possible, starting with professors.

Our professors are fantastic, and none of them would ever do anything intentional to harm students.

However, I don’t think it’s as apparent when a “book bandit” comes to their office and offers to take a few textbooks off their hands that they are directly causing harm to students and the affordability of college.

When a professor or other

faculty or staff member sells this book for their own personal gain, they are using their position for personal gain, which is quite unethical, even if they don’t realize it.

To combat the source, legislators in Oklahoma enacted a 2007 statute which directly prohibits the trade of, by bookstore or professor, free-edition textbooks in the state of Oklahoma. Lower textbook prices are a distant dream, but the fight has to start somewhere, and it has started in Oklahoma.

West Virginia University must take an aggressive stance against the purchase and sale of free-copy textbooks by any member of the University.

This would include enacting policies by the Student Government Association, the Faculty Senate, the Staff Senate and the school’s administration that clearly say, “WVU will not tolerate the sale of complimentary textbooks.”

We must rely on the integrity of our faculty, staff and student body to hold our fellow Mountaineers and ourselves to a higher standard of ethics.

Our state laws on the purchase and sale of complimentary textbooks should mirror those of Oklahoma.

Forget the party atmosphere and take advantage of college omar ghabra correspondent

It’s that time of year again.

As summer vacation gave way to the fall semester, 5,050 freshmen began their college careers Aug. 23 gripped by a wide array of hopes, expectations and aspirations.

Through FallFest, these new students got their first taste of West Virginia University’s infamous “wild side.”

The perception of WVU as a place for people who love to party is undoubtedly why many of them chose to come here.

As you’ve probably heard, the “Princeton Review” placed WVU as the No. 4 party school in its annual ranking.

The Review also ranked us No.

DA

5 in the “students who study least” category, a few spots lower than the prized No. 1 spot we held last year.

This perception of WVU, while grounded in some truth, leads many people to overlook the plethora of opportunities the University has to offer students of just about any interest. Believe it or not, there is a whole lot more to WVU than wild parties, football games and couch burning.

As someone who spent a year at a small liberal arts school that didn’t offer a fraction of the opportunities readily available to students here, I have a piece of advice for incoming freshmen and transfer students: Do not take it for granted.

These next four years will probably be some of the most memorable of your life, and they will shape who you will

be for the rest of your adult life. Whether you are interested in student organizations, intramural sports, studying abroad or bonding with a world-renowned professor, West Virginia University has something for you.

While there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the time you have here, it truly would be a shame for you to pass up on all of the great opportunities afforded by the University. It’s no coincidence that WVU has produced 25 Rhode’s Scholars, 33 Goldwater Scholars and 21 Truman Scholars.

It’s unfortunate that the notion WVU is a place where people are concerned with little more than partying tends to overshadow the endless possibilities it provides for ambitious, motivated students.

Regardless of whether you are looking for a unique new experience or you are searching for other people who share your background or interests, you won’t have to look very far.

For example, if you are interested in fencing, there’s a student organization for that. How about astronomy?

There’s a student organization for that, too. Human rights? The Republican Party?

The Democratic Party? Protecting the environment?

There are student organizations for all of those. And if you’re interested in something that doesn’t already have a student organization, you can start your own.

Student organizations are a great way to build a network of people who share your interests and career goals, and they provide you with price-

less leadership experience.

Maybe you are interested in doing research in neuroscience? There’s a summer internship for that. How about research in nanotechnology or cancer? Well, there are also summer internship programs for those. Want to volunteer your time to help others or simply to build your resume?

Check with the Center for Civic Engagement.

There is always a steady stream of diverse opportunities to volunteer ranging from recycling to disaster relief fundraisers. Whether it’s doing research on the human nervous system, studying abroad in Europe or volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, there e no shortage of opportunities is for life-defining experiences here.

It all comes down to how willing you will be to pursue

these opportunities as they come up, and they will come up often.

You are now at the beginning of a journey that will probably transform you and one that will provide the foundation for your future personal and professional lives.

During your time here, you will be given very powerful tools for success.

All it takes to utilize these tools is a strong desire to achieve. If you have the will power and the work ethic to excel, you have the opportunity to put yourself on the track to being WVU’s next nationally recognized scholar.

Or you could succumb to indifference and contribute to the negative image of WVU as a large party school that has little more to offer than booze and a lively nightlife.

The choice is yours.

Built to Spill play 123 Pleasant Street by derek rudolph cORRESPONDENT

Seminal Boise, Idaho-based indie rock group Built to Spill and upcoming Mexico Citybased Chikita Violenta played a sold-out crowd at 123 Pleasant Street Tuesday.

The bands stopped in Morgantown in the middle of a small venue tour with future dates in Delaware, Philadelphia and New York City.

Morgantown residents and West Virginia University students are pleased with the show.

“I love them,” said sophomore journalism major Natalie Snyder. “They’ve been my favorite band since middle school.”

Aaron Hawley, a Morgantown resident, said, “they’re the only indie rock band that realizes how awesome guitar

solos are.”

The band’s age brought a wide age range to 123, with their first album, “Ultimate Alternative Wavers,” released in 1993 and the latest “There is No Enemy” released in October 2009.

“That guy is my hero,” Hawley said, pointing to singer and lead guitarist Doug Martsch, “that guy is one of the most influential people in rock music today.”

Built to Spill’s Doug Martsch was a mesmerizing figure.

At 40 years old and bald, he performs like a 20-year-old.

With his eyes closed most of the time, he bobs his head back and forth while belting out his chirpy, bird-like voice during songs like “Carry the Zero.”

Their songs kept the crowd slowly swaying along with the melodies and pumping their fists during the same songs.

That is how Martsch’s guitar playing works with the band.

He will play along in the breakdowns of the songs while the band will jam out, something that has made them popular at jam band festivals over the years.

During spurts of breakdown, Martsch plays a solo on the guitar that is both biting and soothing as the bassist and drummer groove along.

Feeling the heat of the small venue, Martsch wiped his face off with a towel in between songs.

For the opening band, Chikita Violenta, playing with Built to Spill is a dream come true.

“They were our favorite band in high school,” said guitarist Cheech Suarez.

Ashley Bell stars in ‘The Last Exorcism.’

LIONSGATE FILMS

‘The Last Exorcism’ can’t escape from its own demons JAKE POTTS A&E CORRESPONDENT

This Fall’s big horror hit, “The Last Exorcism,” is a movie intended to thrill, chill and get your heart pumping.

These goals were definitely accomplished.

Throughout this documentary-style film, the audience embarks on a trip full of selfdoubt, lack of faith and moments of horrific discovery that couldn’t be captured in an average narrative film.

The cameraman plays an active role in the plot, helping to portray a sense of fear and familiarity to the extent to where you may feel like you are a part of this exorcism.

Reverend Cotton Marcus, played by Patrick Fabian, is going through a phase of selfdoubt about being a man of God. Unsure if his beliefs are sturdy or if he’s simply on “auto-pilot,” this realization has shaken him to the core.

Cotton spends a lot of time discussing his disbelief in exorcisms.

Admitting to staging all of his own exorcisms with false “demonic” reactions, Cotton decides to pursue this last one with a camera crew to reveal the exorcisms as the scam he believes them to be.

As the possessed girl, Ashley Bell, and family are introduced, viewers learned the family has been struggling with the death of their mother.

This has left the father, played by Louis Hertham, untrusting of modern medicine and the son, resentful towards anyone in his path.

With cameras in their faces, the family reacts negatively toward the crew.

The son chucks rocks at the van and the father insists the cameras be turned off. Needless to say, it takes a little convincing from Cotton to allow the crew to capture the exor-

The movie starts off with a promising premise but fails to execute it in the crucial final minutes. cism on camera.

The true horrors are revealed of the girl’s doings.

The camera films slaughtered livestock, gruesome pictures and the father’s sense of fear in regards to his own daughter.

Cotton entertains the family with a staged exorcism, assuming that is all that is needed to receive his money.

After completion, the crew returns to a motel miles away and is followed by the possessed daughter, Nell. This shakes Cotton and his assumptions of exorcism’s falsehoods.

Staying strong, he refuses to believe the answer in front of his face until his own life is put in danger by 16-yearold Nell.

Unable to find the answers alone, Cotton insists on bringing in the local pastor and suggests psychological help for the girl.

These seemingly flat characters drag Cotton and his crew into a situation they simply cannot escape.

Psychopaths and themed super-villains are no problems for Batman, but what happens when one of his former sidekicks decides that the caped crusader hasn’t gone far enough in his war on crime and takes matters into his own hands?

That is the question asked

by DC Universe Animated’s latest original movie “Batman: Under the Red Hood,” an adaptation of the Judd Winick-penned storyline “Under the Hood.”

The film opens on perhaps Batman’s biggest failure, the murder of the second Robin,

Jason Todd, at the hands of the Joker.

Years later, Batman and the first Robin, Dick Grayson, who now goes by Nightwing, are working together to stop a weapons shipment by gangster Black Mask.

However, things get hairy for the dynamic duo when the shipment is revealed to be Amazo, a robot with the powers of the Justice League, as well as the appearance of mysterious thug Red Hood.

Soon, it is up to Batman to try to quell the resulting gang war between the Red Hood and Black Mask before any innocents are killed in the crossfire.

“Under the Red Hood” is the first time DC Universe Animated has tackled a lone Batman story since 2008’s “Bat-

man: Gotham Knight” and is streets ahead when compared to the previous project.

The story is a great adaptation of the original works, with most of the changes made necessary either to keep the story in an easy-to-understand continuity or for time, such as Mr. Freeze’s role in the story being replaced by that of the Joker.

My only complaint on this matter is that a group of assassins hired to kill the Red Hood went from being popular DC villains, like Captain Nazi and Deathstroke in the original story, to generic ninjas in the movie.

The voice acting was, for the most part, top notch as well.

Bruce Greenwood, known for his role as Captain Pike in

the recent “Star Trek” reboot, does a good job in the role of the Batman.

He is no Kevin Conroy, but he is much better than Christian Bale’s rendition, where it sounds like he has been gargling rocks.

Doing a stellar performance is “Supernatural’s” Jensen Ackles as the Red Hood, combining the necessary gruffness with a bit of comedy in a truly enjoyable way.

Neil Patrick Harris returns to the DC Universe Animated, this time as Nightwing, and while he gives an acceptable performance, he seems to be too fun loving, not bringing some needed angst to the role.

Self-discipline can go only so far. Sitting on your feelings could backfire and come out in an odd manner. Creativity can fill in some of the gaps, but wild risking could be problematic. Be sure that you can accept the end results. Tonight: Your treat.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH Though you might be on cruise control, others are not. How you deal with interference and others’ issues is more important than you believe. Be careful about saying one thing but doing another. Try to stay authentic and centered. Tonight: What you want.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HH You might be overthinking an issue. As a result, molehills become mountains. Try to step back and get outside of yourself.

Communication could be out of whack, as people are not connected to their feelings. Give yourself and others space. Tonight: Catch up on a pal’s news. Out and about.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Knowing your goals, even just for a day, could help make plans move forward more easily. Prioritize accordingly. You will avoid getting waylaid by details and people.

Confusion could happen when trying to handle a financial matter. Do you think you have all the facts? Tonight: With friends.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Pressure builds, making you wonder what is acceptable and what you need. Sometimes there is a conflict of interest between your personal and professional lives. Consider your image within your immediate circle. How do you want others to think of you? Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH If confusion swirls, detach and distance yourself. You will gain a perspective, but not in the middle of this situation. Don’t hold yourself back. Worry can become fear and paralyze you. Take a risk; otherwise you have nothing. Tonight: Let your imagination choose.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Work with a key associate or individual.

A meeting and phone calls could distract you. Stay focused. Concentrate on what

is needed. Another person points to the right path. Tonight: Get together with a favorite person.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Others will keep coming at you unless you establish barriers. Know what you want, and follow through. You are unlikely to see eye to eye with a boss or with someone on a work-related matter.

Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HH Emphasize completion and accomplishment in areas that are important to you. Easily, you see a situation differently from others. Be careful with news, as it might not be all facts. Know that there is more forthcoming. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH If you keep hitting a blockage, what do you do? It is critical to keep moving. Know that when you keep hitting a brick wall over and over, it means the path isn’t accessible. Be willing to try alternatives. A key person in your life might be nit-picking. Tonight: Let your hair down.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Defer to others. In fact, if others want to lead a project, all the better. You might be happier staying close to home or working from home. You also might want to focus on matters other than work. Tonight: Order in.

BUILT

Continued from page 5 “Trees” was produced by Broken Social Scene producer and touring member David Newfield. “Trees” is expected to be released in January 2011 in America on the label Arts & Crafts.

Their short, tight set of music shows that they are a band to look out for in the upcoming months.

This is the first time Chikita Violenta is touring the United States.

After they finish their tour dates with Built to Spill, they will continue to play with label mates Ra Ra Riot.

Suarez said that he and his band members grew up on bands like Pavement, Slint and Super Furry Animals.

He obtained CDs by visiting America and having American friends to obtain CDs for him.

Built to Spill is somewhat of an anomaly in rock music today. They are signed to a major label, Warner Brothers, but have a large amount of creative control with what they do.

The band opened up on tour dates with Kings of Leon last year and is in the middle of a small club tour.

“They don’t have a manager or roadies,” Suarez said, “They don’t care about the rock stuff, they just love to play.”

RED HOOD

Continued from page 5 The greatest performance in the movie though belongs to John DiMaggio, Bender from “Futurama,” as the Joker.

He displays the right amount of kookiness for the character, yet also has a very obvious dark side that actors need for the role.

EXORCISM

Continued from page 5 wonder where the production team lacked.

Well, this is answered in the last five minutes of the film, in which the climax, resolution and credits all blend into one huge mess.

The twists and turns are there, yes, but they’re displayed in a way that almost makes your head hurt.

So many questions are answered that it becomes too mind-blowing and the ending almost makes you forget how enjoyable the movie had

If Mark Hamill does retire from the role after “Batman: Arkham Asylum 2,” DiMaggio should definitely become the regular voice for the clown prince of crime.

The only weakness of the film is the story.

There is no mystery as to what the Red Hood’s identity is, made obvious to the viewing audience at the beginning of the film.

been up to that point.

If you’re looking for a movie with the tools to put you on the edge of your seat, you’ve found it.

If you’re also looking for a movie that will make you question everything you once knew about respectable resolutions, you’re also in luck.

With a solid beginning and middle and an end that is no better than questionable, I find this movie to be watchable but not rewatchable.

««««« jacob.potts@mail.wvu.edu

It is still a good movie, but an air of mystery is always a fantastic element for any movie to have.

“Batman: Under the Red Hood” is another great film and comic books fans and cartoon fans should be very pleased with this final result.

QUESTIONABLE CALLS

Wednesday September 1, 2010

big east notebook

Will this year’s team meet Bill Stewart’s expectations and win 10 games?

BY TONY DOBIES

BY BRIAN GAWTHROP

BY BRIAN KUPPELWEISER

BY MATTHEW PEASLEE

When asked earlier this summer if Geno Smith would be a solid replacement at quarterback in 2010, West Virginia starting cornerback Keith Tandy had this to say: “That’s what everyone wants to see.”

Tandy’s right.

West Virginia is one of the most veteran teams in the country. In fact, 19 of the Mountaineers’ 31 starting positions are home to a junior or senior.

The question mark coming into the season is at quarterback, though. Smith, a sophomore signal caller, doesn’t have the experience.

Everyone is asking: Can Smith do the job well enough for the Mountaineers to win the Big East?

I have your answer: A resounding yes.

With winning the Big East, WVU will also win 10 games for the first time under head coach Bill Stewart.

Smith is one of those players who exudes confidence, leadership and smarts. With those tools, he has been able to win over his teammates this summer and has looked like a veteran out there in the huddle during fall camp.

There’s a lot riding on the arm – and healthy feet – of West Virginia’s sophomore starting quarterback.

If Smith stays healthy, the Mountaineers will go as far as Smith can take them.

It’s up to Smith to lead the way. To me, he’s more than ready for the challenge.

West Virginia will win 10 games this season and has the talent to finish the season with the best record in the Stewart era. If not, it will be a major underachievement.

The Mountaineers have the talent and the potential to win 10 games, but there are too many things that could go wrong to say the team will do so this season.

Injuries, opponents and, as evidenced by last year’s game against Cincinnati, even the officials weigh in on the outcome of a game. It’s not strictly the talent of a team that wins games.

What about the team’s chemistry? Will the offense be able to take care of the ball and will the defense be able to force turnovers?

Do the Mountaineers even have a punter yet?

WVU is already seeing injuries factor into the team as starting linebacker Pat Lazear won’t be playing Saturday against Coastal Carolina. Who knows how long J.T. Thomas’ shoulder will hold up? It’s impossible to tell how long Geno Smith will be able to stay healthy.

Additionally, WVU still hasn’t stapled down the offensive line, and, even if they do, the chances of every offensive lineman playing every snap like last season likely won’t happen again.

The Mountaineers’ schedule doesn’t help matters either. Entering Baton Rouge and defeating LSU is surely no easy task (it has only happened five times since 2007, none of which to non-conference opponents).

WVU also travels to Pittsburgh and Connecticut and hosts Cincinnati.

Yes, the Mountaineers have all the necessary pieces to win 10 games this season. Whether or not they have luck on their side will have to be judged at a later date.

The 2010 version of the West Virginia Mountaineers football team will meet head coach Bill Stewart’s expectations of 10 wins, but it will not come without a few stumbling blocks.

Home games against Cincinnati and South Florida will be tough. Road contests against LSU, Pittsburgh and Connecticut will be WVU’s biggest tasks all season.

That being said, I don’t see a scenario in which WVU loses more than two of those games.

One of the key ingredients to the success of the Mountaineers this season will be how they distribute the ball amongst key players Noel Devine, Jock Sanders and Tavon Austin.

If Stewart is as dedicated as he says he is to getting the ball to Devine more often than last year, then WVU increases its chances of winning.

Also, quarterback Geno Smith seems to have the look of a quarterback who can finally give the Mountaineers the passing threat they need to open up running lanes for Devine.

The last key factor to meeting the expectations of Stewart will be Stewart himself.

Can Stewart be the coach who many saw during last year’s Backyard Brawl who was not afraid to take a risk late in the game, or even a coach who is not afraid to try to put teams away early on in the game?

That remains to be seen.

But, Stewart does have the necessary offensive tools along with a stout defense that could return the Mountaineers to Big East Conference supremacy this season.

The stage is set for a 10win season for West Virginia, although it does not look plausible.

At first glance, a team with 18 starters returning should be strong enough to eclipse double-digit wins, but there are too many question marks that still remain unanswered.

Perhaps not one position is more important than that of the quarterback. If quarterback Geno Smith would happen to go down with an injury, the season would go down with him.

Smith has a history of ankle and foot problems and, although he has been looking fairly mobile in camp, come a game situation the environment changes dramatically.

Smith will be thrown into the fire as a first-year starting quarterback. That alone should make fans weary.

The weakest aspect of the team has to be the offensive line. If somebody does not step up on the right side, it will be hard to utilize running back Noel Devine to his full extent.

The biggest thing the Mountaineers have going for them is their relatively easy schedule.

According to Phil Steele, WVU plays the 70th toughest schedule in college football.

Road trips to LSU, Connecticut and Pittsburgh are the toughest games for this team.

Those, along with a home tilt against back-to-back conference champion Cincinnati, could be the potential losses.

The Mountaineers have the talent to win nine games.

This year, nine wins may just be enough to win the Big East Conference title.

Basketball’s Mazzulla, Pepper cited

By Tony Dobies Sports Editor

West Virginia men’s basketball players Joe Mazzulla and Dalton Pepper were cited for disorderly conduct and public urination Sunday morning.

The two were cited by Morgantown police around 12:30 a.m. Sunday in downtown Morgantown and charged with misdemeanors. The two were caught near the intersection of Reid and Chestnut streets.

Continued from page 10 scored her first goal of the season, second of her career.

Defender Mallory Smith scored her first career goal, another contribution from a Mountaineer coming off the bench and stepping up when given the opportunity.

West Virginia wasn’t able to get it going on the road at Ohio State, losing to the Buckeyes 3-1.

In that game, the substitutes didn’t contribute as much as the Bowling Green game, and the lone shot from the Mountaineers’ bench came from Smith.

Despite the mixed results, the Mountaineers have proved early on in the season the team is capable of beating teams and will do so with offense being generated by a vast number of players.

Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown said prior to the sea-

“We are aware of the situation and the matter will be handled internally,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins in a statement.

The two players have a municipal court date set Nov. 1, according to the Charleston Daily Mail.

This is the third time in as many years that Mazzulla has been in trouble with the law. In 2008, he and teammate Cam Thoroughman allegedly tried to punch an off-duty police officer at a

son she hoped the Mountaineers would have some players step up to help the team score more goals.

Early in the season, the Mountaineers have done just that.

WVU has given up as many goals as it has scored (five) and has had four more shots and one more shot on goal against its opponents so far this season.

The development of the substitutes will affect the Mountaineers’ offensive production.

So far, the team has had newcomers step up, with goals being scored by players who haven’t normally been accustomed to being the offensive leaders for the team.

That’s promising for the Mountaineers, and shows that as the season progresses the team will develop more of an offensive identity.

Megan Mischler and Blake Miller have combined for 25 career goals for the Mountaineers, including Mischler’s teamleading five goals in 2009 and

Pittsburgh Pirates game. He was charged with aggravated assault, hindering apprehension and underage drinking, and later pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and public intoxication.

In April 2009, Mazzulla was charged with domestic battery for an incident at a nightclub in downtown Morgantown, in which he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. He was suspended from April to August for that incident but was reinstated for the start of the

Miller’s team-leading 10 goals in 2008.

This season, the duo has combined for no points in the first three games.

Once Mischler and Miller get their offensive games in full stride, the Mountaineers will be a force to be reckoned with.

Entering the season, the team’s biggest question mark was its offensive identity.

So far this season, the Mountaineers have seen others contribute, only strengthening the team’s offensive outcome.

It’s still early in the season, but by all indications WVU’s record of 1-2 isn’t something to worry about.

By the numbers, the Mountaineers have outplayed the competition, the team just needs to find its feet and start gelling offensively –and it will happen.

When it does, I wouldn’t want to be an opposing goalkeeper. brad.joyal@mail.wvu.edu

2009-10 season.

Mazzulla is expected to play a significant role on this year’s team after his strong play in the Mountaineers’ Final Four last season. He earned the Most Outstanding Player award in the East Regional of the NCAA Tournament for his 17-point performance in a 7366 win over No. 1 seed Kentucky in the Elite Eight.

are challenging each other at right guard.

“It’s still a battle, and it will probably be a battle throughout the season I would think,” Stewart said. zz Starting linebacker J.T. Thomas will start Saturday despite a lingering neck injury that forced him to miss some of fall camp. Stewart said Thomas has had an MRI and is “medically sound.”

“Medically, he needs to play to see how he’s going to react,” Stewart said. “So, we’re going to play him Saturday and get in there and bang. At that point, we’ll see what’s going on with him.” zz Fellow starting linebacker Pat Lazear is still nursing a bone bruise on his leg from an injury in fall camp.

Stewart is unsure whether Lazear will play. The Mountaineers’ head coach said he would know more Thursday when he has to submit an injury report to the Big East Conference. If Lazear is out, redshirt freshman Branko Busick will be start.

West Virginia’s Julian Miller, left, tackles Rutgers receiver Mohamed Sanu last season.

Despite youth, Schiano trusts Rutgers’ receivers by matthew peaslee sports writer

Rutgers sophomore Tim Wright was an all-state receiver out of Wall Township, N.J. After redshirting his first year, Wright saw action in 12 games for the Scarlet Knights in 2009.

This past spring, he was seemingly destined for a breakout 2010 season after being named the team’s mostimproved offensive player.

Even on a national level, Wright received attention by being named to the Rivals. com’s All-Spring Team.

How quickly dreams shatter.

Early in preseason camp, the 6-foot-4 Wright suffered a right knee injury. He will miss the entire 2010 campaign.

“It’s a big loss,” said Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano. “He was doing really well, and it’s very disappointing.”

Wright was all but guaranteed a spot on the first team alongside preseason firstteam all-Big East Conference selection Mohamed Sanu.

Sanu was second on the team in receptions a year ago (51) and gained 639 yards on those catches.

Sanu was a true freshman a year ago, while Mark Harrison also received repetitions in 2009 as a true freshman.

To go along with sophomore quarterback Tom Savage, the crop of RU receivers forms one of the youngest offenses in the country.

Schiano sees no problem with that fact.

“We have a very talented, yet inexperienced group of receivers,” he said. “We have to put them out there, give them opportunities and see, when the lights come, on who performs.”

When Rutgers opens its season Thursday against Norfolk State at 7:30 p.m., Schiano plans to stick with an air attack. The depth will be a stronghold in the Knights’ offense, a unit that gained 2,495 yards through the air a year ago.

“We’re going to play a lot of people,” Schiano said. “We’re going to do it with several guys and see who does well in game action then see who holds it down.”

A total of eight receivers with freshman status will try to vie their way into the mix this season.

Schiano said there will be numerous freshmen involved in their plan and will not rule anyone out if they prove their worth. Outside of Wright, Schiano is pleased with his team’s progression in camp and knows his Knights, picked to finish sixth in the conference, can make a impact in the conference standings.

“Other than the loss of Tim (Brown), we were able to get better and stay healthy,” he said.

Louisville In any rivalry game there is more on the line than bragging rights. The Cardinals host Kentucky Saturday in the annual Governor’s Cup. UL head coach Charlie Strong feels that this is a battle for future college football players.

“This game can really set the tone, because if you win it, you can kind of be one up on them as far as recruiting those young men,” said Strong, a first-year head coach. “It’s very critical for setting the tone for this state.”

BIG EAST CONFERENCE WEEK 1 SCHEDULE THURSDAY, SEPT. 2 Norfolk State at Rutgers 7:30 p.m. | New Brunswick, N.J. Pittsburgh at Utah 8:30 p.m. | Salt Lake City, UT SATURDAY, SEPT. 4 Connecticut at Michigan 3:30 p.m. | Ann Arbor, Mich.

Kentucky at Louisville 3:30 p.m. | Louisville, Ky. Coastal Carolina at West Virginia 3:30 p.m. | Morgantown, W.Va. Syracuse at Akron 6 p.m. | Akron, Ohio Cincinnati at Fresno State 10 p.m. | Fresno, Calif.

Stony Brook at South Florida 7:05 p.m. | Tampa, Fla. The Wildcats own the series advantage over the Cards 13-9.

Pittsburgh Last season’s Big East Defensive Player of the Year Greg Romeus has been held out of most of fall practice.

The same goes for running back Ray Graham.

Pitt head coach Dave Wannstedt insists they are ready to go for Thursday’s opening game against Utah.

“Greg Romeus looked great last week,” Wannstedt said.

“Ray Graham is very close.

He practiced in team drills and will be available to play Thursday.”

When traveling to Salt Lake City, Wannstedt said higher elevation will not be a concern for his Panthers. He compared the trip to his NFL coaching days when he led the Miami Dolphins into Denver’s Mile High Stadium.

“When we got there, just like every other place I coached in the NFL, we showed up the day before the game and played,” Wannstedt said.

South Florida The Skip Holtz era will begin Saturday at home against Stony Brook. Holtz came to USF from East Carolina and, thus far in his time in Tampa, Holtz has been impressed with the depth he has seen with his new program, particularly on defense.

While the numbers are there, he feels they can still improve.

“I do like our depth on defense,” Holtz said. “I don’t think we’re there. I think they’ll continue to get better.”

Syracuse After five-straight losing seasons, Syracuse has no where to go but up.

However, 2010 may be a harsh roadblock with a plethora of freshmen across the field and in backup roles.

SU head coach Doug Marrone is not worried considering the talent levels of those players.

“I knew we had some guys that could come in and run,” Marrone said. “I just wanted to see how they were from a physical standpoint and from a mental standpoint, because there’s a big difference, obviously.” matthew.peaslee@mail.wvu.edu

Don’t read anything into 1-2 record With a 1-2 record after three games, the West Virginia women’s soccer team is right where it wants to be.

Sure, the team would like to be 3-0, but the actual play of the Mountaineers has been extremely promising.

The Mountaineers welcomed highly touted Penn State in their opening game, losing 2-1 in the overtime contest. In the loss, West Virginia proved it could compete with any team in the country. With senior Kerri Butler strong in the net and a strong defense, the Mountaineers weren’t able to get enough going offensively to defeat Penn State.

It seemed as if the team’s offensive troubles would carry over from last season – when the Mountaineers only netted 22 goals in the season – but since the opening game, the team has been more aggressive on offense.

In its second game, West Virginia went on the road to shutout Bowling Green 3-0. West Virginia had 26 shots, 10 of which were on goal. Bowling Green only had five shots, none of which were on goal.

West Virginia had been looking for players to step up offensively to improve on last season’s numbers. The substitutes have answered the call.

In the 3-0 win over Bowling Green, the West Virginia substitutes combined for 12 shots, with five on net.

Freshman forward Frances Silva added a game-high four shots off the bench for the Mountaineers, including her first career goal. Sophomore midfielder Caroline Szwed

Mountaineers’ head coach likes his team’s chemistry heading into season

BY TONY DOBIES sports editor

West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart used the word “bond” over and over in his press conference Tuesday.

That’s what he’s wanted his team to do in the offseason.

And apparently the Mountaineers’ third-year head coach’s goal was achieved.

Stewart called his team a “band of brothers” Tuesday.

“I feel good that our team has bonded in a positive manner. We are a family,” Stewart said. “There is a trust in the Mountaineer family.”

For the first time in the 2010 season, those brothers will be tested. The No. 25 Mountaineers open the season Saturday

against FCS foe Coastal Carolina in Morgantown.

“I know how we’re bonding.

I know we’re living right, we’re doing right and good things are on the horizon,” Stewart said.

“What can help that is coming out on the right foot Saturday.”

Stewart said he is looking forward to seeing his younger players – particularly at quarterback and wide receiver – step up.

One of those players, starting quarterback Geno Smith, said he is excited to finally put the pads on and play against someone other than the Mountaineers’ defense.

“I’ll probably be a little anxious,” Smith admitted. “When the time comes to play, I’ll be ready. I just want to continue

to progress as the season goes along.”

Stewart said he won’t tell Smith not to do something like force the ball or not turn the ball over. Instead, the Mountaineers’ third-year coach said he’d be positive.

“I’m going to tell him Saturday to go get (touchdowns),” Stewart said. “Are we going to play wreckless? No. We can’t do that. But, I want Geno to play and lead.”

In addition to Smith, Stewart named a few key freshmen who will likely see playing time Saturday including: safety Mike Dorsey, defensive end Bruce Irvin, running back Trey Johnson, receiver Ivan McCartney, linebacker Doug Rigg. Both freshmen quarterbacks Barry

Brunetti and Jeremy Johnson could play, as well.

Stewart does want to make sure everyone knows he’s not thinking about playing backups, though. As a former Division I-AA coach at VMI, Stewart respects any lower-division foe.

“If people think this is a walk in the park, they have no idea what college football is all about,” Stewart said.

The Mountaineers haven’t lost a season opener since 2003 when they played Wisconsin. WVU will have started the season against a lowerdivision opponent for threestraight seasons when it takes on Coastal Carolina. WVU has beaten those opponents (Villanova and Liberty) by an av-

erage of 20 points.

Nose tackle Chris Neild said he doesn’t mind going up against a lower-division team.

He said the players will treat it like any other game.

“We have the same mentality. We want to go out there and hit them hard whether they’re a D-II school or a big-name school,” Neild said. “That’s how we all feel.

Notes zz WVU has yet to decide on who will start at right tackle and right guard against Coastal Carolina. Jeff Braun and Cole Bowers are battling for the right tackle spot, and last year’s starter Eric Jobe and Bowers

West Virginia senior keeper Zach Johnson is the returning all-Big East Conference Goalkeeper of the Year.

WVU SPORTS INFO

Johnson anxious to erase ‘frustrating’ 2009 season by michael Carvelli Sports Writer

Just one year after he was named a second-team preseason all-American and Goalkeeper of the Year in the Big East Conference, Zach Johnson found himself without a single preseason honor as he went into the start of the 2010 season.

That’s something the West Virginia senior says will have him playing with a little chip on his shoulder this year.

“It does make you want to go out and play well a little bit,” Johnson said. “But that stuff doesn’t really matter too much. I’d rather have the team do well than get the individual accolades, especially in the preseason.”

The Lumberton, N.J., native is heading into his fifth and final year as a Mountaineer, one that should continue adding to his already great college career.

After being redshirted his freshman year, WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc called on Johnson to step in between the pipes after the graduation of one of the most prolific keepers in school history, Nick Noble.

While it might have been too much to ask for most freshmen to perform well while trying to replace one of the best players in program history, it didn’t seem to faze Johnson.

The Mountaineers went 14-6-2, earned their first-ever

When: Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Where: Morgantown, W.Va. (Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium) Tickets: WVU students enter free with a valid WVU ID. The first 200 students to enter the gates will receive a free WVU soccer “12th man” t-shirt from the Mountaineer Manaics.

Sweet 16 bid and their freshman goalkeeper put together a season that would be tough for anyone to match. He started all 22 games, averaged 0.48 goals per game and broke Noble’s record for shutouts with 13 clean sheets on the year.

That solid play carried over to the next season as Johnson had another eight shut outs and allowed just 13 goals en route to being named the Big East Goalkeeper of the Year, as well as first team all-Big East.

In his junior campaign, Johnson and the Mountaineers struggled at times, finishing 7-5-6.

“Last year was frustrating,” Johnson said. “We were strong the first part of the season, and in the end, we fell apart. That’s something I know nobody wants to repeat again.”

Heading into the 2010 season, Johnson and the defense in front of him looks better than ever and ready to take on the team’s daunting schedule. Starting with two top-20 teams before the always-difficult Big East schedule won’t be easy, but with this year’s defense, all the Mountaineers need to do is score the goals, according to the keeper.

“There’s no limit to how far we can make it this year,” Johnson said. “There were a lot of times when, if we would’ve been able to score one more goal, we could’ve added at least five wins to our record. If we can do that, we have a good chance of making a deep run.”

As far as LeBlanc’s view on his senior keeper, he wouldn’t want anyone else back there.

“Having a dependable goalkeeper is one thing and having a great one is another. We’ve got a great goalkeeper,” LeBlanc said.

“We know that when the game is on the line and we need a big save, we’ve got someone in goal who can do that.

“He’s one of the best goalkeepers in the country, and I don’t know if a lot of people realize it or even recognize it yet.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu
